Whoopee! For one day we will have with us the famous wild animal circus, Laurel Smith's Great- est Show on the Outside of the Earth with its wonderful company of trained acrobats and the cleverest troupe of clowns in history. The world-wide noted tight rope walker, Miss Pilly Meie Garrison, will perform daring feats on tight ropes twenty feet in the air. Pro- fessor Earl Thomas will be present with his troupe of trained monkeys and Lorine Stiegler, world famous as a snake charmer, gives an hourly hypnotizing stunt with a boa constrictor, which she has lovingly named Philip, after one of her old school mates. Bar- bara Leonard, the lion tamer, Thelma Puett, the hyena trainer and, Mabel Main, the hippo- potamus trainer, will combine their skill and produce a concert, the like of which has never been known. Now for the biggest side show ever known in the history of the ages! The only two freckle rattlers in the world, Cleo Riegel, commonly known as Rusty and Margaret Zetzsche, will exhibit their marvelous skill at this great circus. Everybody bring your pennies and your nickles and your dimes and see the show! Former Residents Stzipwreck v Captain Grant, the crew, and hundreds of passengers bound forg X mania were thrown ashore by a terrific gale which swept the ship on the rocky reefs of! one of the Sandwich Islands. Through the heroic efforts of Captain Grant and the deck ste ,W 3 uis Bergan, no lives were lost. An airplane has departed with provisions until theytalu x e removed from their desolate abode. ' Among the survivors from this city were the Misses Robena Hamilton, Helen Hofmann, Agnes Jensen, Margaret Highsmith, Freda Jones and Verna Swanay, and the Messrs. Harold Stowe, Oliver Mountjoy and James Watson. h Marvelous Results In Surgery Obtained One of the most successful operations in the field of plastic surgery was performed last evening in Vienna when Hugh Smyser operated on John Wright, one of the greatest actors on the American screen, removing the imperfection on his nose and remodeling his lips into perfect Cupid's bows. Since this singular feat in the accomplishment of science Joyce DeWeese, Wright's co- performer as a Swiss yodeler, has determined to undergo the knife in an effort to improve his general appearance. Personals Ambassador H. Barton is sailing today for Iceland because of the serious conditions ex- isting there. He announces that he will take his freckles along. Governor Loren Morris of Delaware is spending a few days in the city at the home of Mr. Austin George, the noted electrical scientist. Miss Ruth Mountjoy, the cloak and suit model of Frederick and Nelson's, left for an ex- tended eastern buying trip. Miss Lucile Remelin, state domestic science leader, is in the city for a short time and during her brief sojourn here she will conduct a series of lectures at Miss Lamb's Board- ing School.

iT5ff3MiA1wi I 5' Senior Class History The class of twenty-six has been conspicuous for its originality and accomplish- ments since the time it entered Ellensburg High School up to the time of its gradua- tion. Owing to our modesty, however, we will not record all the events which have marked our progress as the four years of high school passed. As freshmen We were not so green as some classes but no doubt, as a few will remember, the green has predominated at time.s. We very soon overcame our shy- ness and established our place as the peppiest freshman class thus far. The sophomore year is usually the dullest for any class and just a few events of interest mark this stage in our pursuit of education. We entered upon our junior year with great expectations and the knowledge that as juniors we would most greatly enjoy our high school life. We knew that as seniors we would have our hardest studying to do and as we were no longe.r underclassmen the seniors and juniors could no longer dictate to us. We are much indebted to our boys who represented us in football for a great deal of our prominence in the life of the school. Our debaters were excellent and we also owe much gratitude to them. Our first dance was a decided success coming toward the close of the football season. For interest and successful achievement the Junior Prom was the foremost event of the year. At last we bacame seniors, the model for the whole school. Our first dance given in honor of the freshmen was more than a success and we sincerely hope we impressed the frosh with some of the feelings we experienced as freshmen. The football season followed and the school's very successful team was largely composed of members of the class of twenty-six.'John Wright, Philip Short, Cleo Riegel, Gerald Grant. In bas- ketball we had members who again deserve praise. They included John Wright, Ger- ald Grant, Joyce DeWeese. Baseball and track men were also among the numbers of our class. Our debaters included Bernice Johnson, Wayne Clinesmith, and Helen Hof- mann deserve much rank. In the play contest our boys who took part in A Nite at An Inn are mentioned for splendid interpretation of difficult parts. They were Laurel Smith, Cleo Riegel, and Joyce DeWeese. Our honor students deserve mention for a great many of our numbers have at- tained the honor roll and much difficulty was encountered in chosing our valedic- torian as so many had worthy claims to the honor. Since the Klahiam is printed before the Senior Ball and Class Play take place we cannot here record their success, but concluding from our past success in all under- takings we can predict the same for them. 21

A 1 Senior Class Song -' lTune: Show Me the Way to Go Home J We're the big class of the nation, We got a darn good education, We're going off to college just to get a little knowledge Of those three minor things we don't know. But, oh, you Juniors don't you cry, You'll read of us in the P.-I. For we know our stuff, And we are no bluff, But the honor students of the High. Oh, we Seniors are certainly fine, And we all have a pretty good line, We're going away next year and will leave you Juniors here For an education you must find. But, oh, you Juniors, don't you fret, Your sheep skin you might get, If you fall in line and never mind, The sex just opposite thine. 23
