Ring 2♦♦♦ The Publications The Cotton Blossom u Colossal Creative Crew” EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, Mona Choate and associate editor. Marjorie Baker. The birth of the circus idea set many wheels in motion. Immediately the editor and sponsors of the Cotton Blossom got on the job to make overall plans for the great show. Three units of grand spectacle plus the side line numbers were decided on. To produce this amazing pageant of student life, the staff had to iron out many details and fill the roles with skilled personnel. As might be expected with an enterprise of such gigantic proportions, there were snarls and set backs. However, performance after performance was successfully given and write-ups and pictures made of them. Finally the day came late in May when the staff announced triumphantly At last 'Our Greatest Show on Earth' has given its last performance. Furthermore, our record of the season's triumphs, achievements, and ordinary experiences have been compiled and now the completed work is ready for the printers. Hurrah! THE LITERARY STAFF.
