 6 44 'r¥C ta'Uf The circus got under way in the fall of '46 with twenty-two clown on the band wagon. They were: Philip Hollowell, Grover Palin, Eugene Donaldson, Heber Lundberg, Victor Gardner, Harold Bray, Jack Hanson, Charles Cooksley, Jerry Mc- Guire, Fanna Day, Mary Buchanan, Garnor Gardner, Julia Hollowell, Wilma Enman, Mary Norris, Harriet Fraser, Marion Sullivan, Daisy Jones, Maxine Beavers, and Aurla Bierman. Mrs. Warnke was supervisor, with Willis Manley as ringmaster arvi Keith Bradshaw as assistant. The first year in the circus was new to the clowns, but they learned a lot of new tricks. Despite the rugged life all of them passed with flying colors. While on vacation the following summer Maxine Beavers, Daisy Jones, and Fanna Day became discouraged and took up different occupations. The next year we started clowning with twenty-one members in the act, some new, some old. Among the new were three clowns named Wallace Braach, Doroehay Hickox, and Mary Oliver. This year we were better acquainted with the routine and things went along a little smoother. That year Heber Lundberg left and joined a dif- ferent show in Logan, Utah. Wallace Braach, Charles Cooksley, Mary Oliver, and Marion Sullivan joined other shows. Eugene Donaldson gave up circus life entirely and went to work on a ranch. In the fall of 48 we were half way through our journey. There were no new faces this year. Mrs. Warnke was still supervisor with Willis Manley as ringmaster and Wilma Enman as assistant. This was a very exciting year. A formal dance was held April 30, (Junior Prom) and the class was host for a banquet which was given in honor of the now century old gold miners of California. Aurla Bierman became Mrs. Aurla Bolles in the fall of that year but continued school until the end of the term. After the end of school that year Philip Hollowell joined the United Scates Jibwy and left for San Diego in May. Jerry McGuire, the airelist, decided to go even higher so he joined the United States Army Air Forces and was stationed in San Aanonjco, Texas. We were now on the last part of our journey, with fourteen clowns left- Je were still being supervised by Mrs. Warnke. We had the same ringleader. Villis Manley, and Keith Bradshaw was again his assistant. The year was just beginning when Grover Palin quit school to take up married life, however, a new clown took his place. She was Jean Brooks. Thanksgivingeve we sponsored a dance, the Senior BalL The next Spring we were honored guests at a formal banquet and danoe. We reached the end of oar cir- cus careers when we received our diplomas in the spring of 1950.
