John Mondo, master of ceremonies, makes his appearance at the far end of the arena and announces that the show will be opened with the singing of our National Anthem by Joyce Jough- ton. She is accompanied by Jerry Walters who has revolutionized all circus bands into bop groups with only cool, gone musicians . The sound of the gun brings cheers from the crowd as the clowns, LaMarca and Champagne, dash into the ring, followed by the bareback riders, Janet Chase and Sue St. Louis. In the center ring we see Jerry Ames, the Lady Tamer, pardon, Lion Tamer, cracking his whip. In the outer rings Clyde Farnan, the fast talking magician, goes through his most difficult tricks, and Princess Olga, the snake charmer, CMarge Helfrich to her friendsj fascinates us with her weird snake dance. Looking around . . . Say, isn't that Mr. and Mrs. Tom Illig over there? CShe's the former Virginia Dawsey.D Oh! And there's Private Ken Grieser saluting General Peter Hornbarger. Gen- eral Hornbarger is now President of the West Point Military Academy. And over there is Gladys Glindeman, the well-known reporter of the Herald Tribune. We turn back to the show in time to see the breath-taking performance of the trapeze artist, Joan Land, who does a thrilling tap dance on the high wire as a quiet hush falls over the stadium. During the intermission, Martindale and Mackett sell cool, refreshing beverages to the audience, while Don Greek, the peanut vendor, sells peanuts, popcorn, and souvenirs. Now our attention is taken to the far end of the arena, where Ralph Case will dive from the fifty foot landing into a wet dish rag! The twenty clowns jumping out of Bob White's car keep the audience in stitches with their colorful costumes and crazy antics. They all manage to escape just before the car blows up. The last act is the most thrilling of all. Ronald Tracey is shot out of the cannon into the loving arms of his wife, who is watching the show on television. The Greatest Show on Earth has now come to a close. The performers and all those who have made this show possible sincerely hope you have enjoyed it.

The cars are piled up on Sheridan Drive and Sergeant Bill O'Brien is having a hard time keeping the cars in line. Oh, oh, there goes Al Conroy trying to pass an 81 Cadil lac. Wow! He made it. We wheel our old 68 Buick into the park ing lot of the Markell Stadium, which was dedicated to our be loved mayor, Herman Markell. We leave our car in the capable hands of Dick Cutaiar, the head parking lot attendant. In the stadium we see a few famous people who are alumni of K.H.S. There's Eleanor Peirce, star of stage, screen, and radio. Isn't that Nils Nielsen, the United States Olympic star, who has just signed a contract with Patrick Kelly Productions Inc. to play the part of Tarzan in Tarzan and the Amazonsu? We buy our tickets for the show from Herm Kubanek, the Silent Salesman, and Bob Murphy sells us a program which was printed by the Cogswell Copy Company Cbetter known as the C.C.C. from Blaine to Tennesseel. Let's have a quick glance at the midway and side shows since we have some time before the big show begins. As we walk by the many concessions, we hear the voice of the Circus Barker, Bob Bedworth: Come one, come all, don't miss the show, step right up, donit be shy. See the lovely dancing girls: Muriel Schalnberger, Nancy Kort, and Carol Bloch. . . . Look at that poster, MGM's latest production, The Man Women Dream About.
