seam, I-ADEEZ and gentlemun, we present for your enjoyment and edification, the Klahiam Circus-five rings of fun and frolic, five rings of stirring history and salient facts, plentifully peppered with tender memories. Yowsah! In the numbah one ring, we have those big moguls of class and classroom, the Administration. ln the numbah two ring, we enjoy the antics of the Classes. We are astounded and amazed by the Activities of the star performers in numbah three. Numbah four ring Features student hi-jinks. And last, but not least, numbah five ring presents to us the Organizations. Strike up the band, professor! Jimmy Jones is a typical American boy. Like his father and his father's father before him, he thrills to the advance notices being posted, and anticipates with quickened pulses and bright eyes, the joys of Circus Day. He wishes that the Circus would come oftener, and Jimmy pictures himself as one of the daring performers in a breath-taking act before a cheering audience.

,XL es 5 E . 3 S .3 W HEN we're young, it's play that we indulge in, and when we're a little older-it's recreation. Play is necessary to the well-rounded, complete growth of the child, developing self- expression, self-confidence, cooperation, loyalty, democracy, and health. ln later years, recreation is often the balance-wheel, keeping one in good health, good spirits, and alert-minded. So it is that we dedicate the 1934 Klahiam to Play and Recreation, and adopt the Circus as our theme. For the Circus, appealing to children of all ages, calls forth a demonstration of abandon, carefree enjoyment, self-forgetfulness, make-believe, good humor, and good nature. Combined with the hustle and bustle of the Circus is the friendship and good will of united enjoyment. For a few hours, under the influence of the Big Top, we are all children againg and then we go back to work once more, better for having seen the Circus. Down at the railroad yards, the Big Show is almost unloaded, while on the lot Jimmy watches, with fascinated eyes, the pitch- ing of the huge tents.
