azziofz an 0'-fiitofzy The circus came to town in the fall of 1946 when 27 green freshmen entered the Big Top of Delano High School. John Metz was chosen ring master while Eleanor Hanson, Rita Hartfield, and Pat Murn hopped to his holler. Maybe Lewis Burt, Kenneth Dalbec, and Clarence Strey got caught feeding the animals because we lost them along the way. As the performance continued we became more interested and found ourselves able-bod- ied sophomores. Allan Fonfara seemed to have surplus energy that year so we chose him to lead us on. Charles Askov, Kenneth Ludescher, and Eleanor Hanson helped him in the right direction. Donna Meyers, Rita Hartfield, and Harry Tucker lingered behind us. And as we returned for our third year Leonard Schaust was no longer with us. As John Metz: was such an ambitious freshmen leader we again gave him the task of leading us through our junior year. Pat Murn, Ruby LeNoue, and Carol Dunn assisted him. On November 5, 1948, we stopped off at one of the side shows and gave the play Miss Jimmy. One of the booths contained the Minnesota Centennial, so we made that the scene of our junior-senior prom. For the last act of the circus we selected Pat Murn to tell us what to do. The main feature of the Big Top on October 26 was the crowning of Eleanor Hanson and Arnold Mense as Homecoming King and Queen. Another event of the last act was the play By Any Other Name presented on November 1 8. It w:asn't long after our class play that a Christmas party was given for the trainees of future circuses. As we roamed about a little longer we found we soon would be marching out of the Big Top into a world of entirely new circumstances. Now for the first time we are leading others instead of following someone else. I
