UQ L TA First of all came the parade-and such a pa- rade! The Hutchins Dance Orchestra, dressed as a circus band, led the march. They were fol- lowed by acrobats, fortune tellers, girls on horse- back fbroomsj, clowns, snake charmers, Belinda, the fat lady, real live animals, including Dick Greene's Pond Purp, an alligator, Mrs. Brown's goat, two rabbits, and some pigeons Frank Sar- gent played his accordion and a home-made cal- liope from room 223 brought up the rear There were the usual followers of all circuses: the bal- loon men, nurses, children, and farmers. were entertained by After the parade, we daring feats in the three rings. Mary F-alkauff the Gold Dust Twins pgrformed on the trapeze, fDavid Goldsmith and Jennie Horwitzj did bare- back riding on Cal's Colt and the La-dy Eques- triennes of 118 and 126 did some fancy riding on their broom sticks. Ellen Molter, the leading guest star, did some very fine acrobatic work. The 'Clumsy Clowns of 122 fBill Sloman and Richard Bennettj amused everyone 'by their funny antics in a wheelbarrow, -as did also the policeman and tramp, and the two-headed clown of 116. Gershon Levy made a very handsome ringmaster in his high hat and riding breeches. The sideshows were announced by the barker w.hile the audience followed him around, all being very much amused at the reducing of Belinda, the Hula Hula dancers, Gertrude Levy and Yetta Schwartz, the snake charmer, the juggler, and .a few funny fakes. In true circus style we pa- raded to the cafeteria where we had refresh- ments and even Belinda had all the cake she wanted. The circus was under the direction of Miss MacKenzie, the 9B sponsor, and many a 9B has told her what fun they had at the party.

'21 FBI-TIHQF' . . . . In SA-135 we have a citizenship chart. The chart consists of: the pupils' names, scholarship records, honors, and daily marks. Whenever a bad slip comes in, Mr. Olesen puts a check by the pupil's name under the column Daily Marks. In this way, Mr. Olesen knows how to mark us in citizenship. Every morning one pupil is appointed to mark all the courteous and dis- courteous acts that happen in our classes during the previous day. All the pupils are trying to 'be very good citizens. The following members of our class have had one hundred per cent attendance this semester: Pearl Eseltine, Dorothy Rolf, Harry Dingeman, and Ross Sinclair. . The boys of 135 won the swimming champion- ship of the seventh and eighth grades this term. The following boys are on the team: Robert Lait- ner, James McMurray, Billy Tesen, Ross Sin- clair, Harry Dingeman, John Reside, Wilbur Webber, Billy Van Dyke, Howard Crawford, and Lester Satovsky. This is the second year they have won such honor. We all feel very proud of these boys, especially of Robert L-aitner, the team captain. Nine B The Nine B .Circus The EJB party given on April 19 was a most navel and interesting affair. Instead of the usual routine, we had a real circus with a parade, ringmaster, barker, sideshows, balloons, wild ani- mals, and everything. About two hundred and hfty attended the circus, an-d, judging from the laughter and gayety, a 'tgood time was had by all. As one entered the girls' gymnasium, all the familiar sights and sounds of a circus greeted him: tents and stands roped off for the sides-hows, the rings roped of, and the barker, Gordon De Bosky, in his gaudy tie and paste diamond, yell- ing to the audience. The little policeman from 9B-116 kept the audience back of the ropes. ,' -.Iowa - nav - Page Forty-two

OUR ASSEMBLIES. Our grade .assemblies for this year have -been both beneficial and entertaining. Three outstand- ing assemblies of last term were: the September Assembly when Miss MacNeil gave us the in- spiring talk on Improvfioig O11-r Scholm-slzip, the Puppet 'Show by Room 223, and the elaborate Christmas Assembly w.hen Rooms 118 and 122 delighted us with special scenery, music, dances and songs. At the February Assembly we enjoyed seeing the pictures which the Honor Society presented to the school and hearing the instructive talks on the subject and artist of each picture. In March, 9B-116 furnished a very helpful program on the subject of Tfardiness and How to Overcome It. 9B-200 entertained us in April with a play which had previously been given in honor of the mothers at the 9B Tea. The M-ay program in- cluded a delightful play for Mothers' Day. The novel radio -broadcasting station, as well as the artistic numbers that came over the air, fas- cinated us all.
