In a huge ring on The gym floor pachyderms walTz gracefully. Like The seals, They Too obey a whisTle, following The anTics of a maTure leader, king of The herd. AT Times They sTand on Two hind legs pawing The air. Or else They lie prosTraTe. The whisTle shrieks and The elephanTs group and regroup in swollen paTTerns. People are sTill buying TickeTs Tor The show. Crowds queue up ouT- side The Dean's oTFice. They are asTonishingly well-mannered and noT The pushing and shoving kind ThaT one usually encounTers aT mosT sideshow concessions. These crowds are quieT, reserved, almosT as if They Took This parT oT The circus seriously and conscienTiously. A mosT disTinguished- looking group of individuals. CompleTely worThy of a place on The Dean's lisTl There goes The magician who runs The science concession. By The use oT unseen powers he makes liquids climb up The side oT beakers, Tluids change colors in inkwells, and insTrumenTs spin mysTeriously in a vacuum. He waves his wand and miracles appear. Passing The cages holding The bands oT wild animals is oTTen comical despiTe The crack of whip and groan and ouTcry. Here orange and black Tigers Try To learn The language OT 'Friends all over The wide world. MosT Tigers sound aT TirsT iusT like monkeys chaTTering and mimicking Their leaders in The mosT uninTelligible gibberish. The huge crowd in The audiTorium, Evander's giganTic ring, waTches graduaTion, The main evenT, as The Ring MasTer explains how orange and black Tigers do and should behave. -bs x -T 9 Q A - L . ll r P TV-1 3
