' Q' 25255 . U 4YYs:,.:m:JDUDq NDER the Big Top are gathered people of every color, race, and creed, as heterogeneous a conglomeration as one could ever hope to see. High-wire artist and candy butcher, side-show freak and roustabout may be seen bobnobbing between acts. Tolerance and friendship are the keynotes and such would be impossible anywhere but in an organization as American as the Circus. And in American schools, perhaps as a result of the depres- sion, among other things, friendship and tolerance are becom- ing increasingly noticeable. Bitter class fights are giving way to a more friendly rivalry to the betterment of all concerned. Un- der this new spirit, the students are getting more out of their high school yearsg the Seniors are being graduated, better equip- ped to meet the world, and the Sophomores find it easier to fit into high school life. The world progresses.

The class mount- ed the band wagon for the parade with a dance in January, which proved to be a sell-out, and was considered one of the best dances of the year.

I-1OWEVER, the watchful guard knows boys, and since he probably tried the same thing in other days, he gives Jimmy a chance to earn his way into the greatest show on earth, with the result that we see Jimmy bringing water for the elephants. Pail after pail he carries-the giant pachyderms seem to have no limit to their water capacity. But all things have an ending, and at last the giants are satisfied. Jimmy is given a colored bit of cardboard admitting him to all the wonders of the big show. High wire artist and lowly clown, performing bears and dancing horses, chariot races and sideshow freaks-he sees them all and is satisfied. But the biggest thrill of the day comes after the show when he wanders into clown alley, there to be greeted by a real live clown.
