ef- O The l94l Circus was celebrated by a trailer trip through Kent. All of Americas most interesting spots were viewed as the largest crowd of tourists the school has seen in many years tripped through gaily-postered halls. The travelers set out on the Coast, and were routed eastward through mountains, corn fields, and plantations. The tour- ists, dressed arnusingly to fit the occasion, stopped at scenic Sun Valley, Hollywood, the Kentucky Derby, and other famous showplaces, imaginatively represented by booths, crepe paper and signs. The Circus was an enormous success, and of the S500 made on tickets and concessions, 35300 was sent to the Norwegian Relief Fund. Miss Louise Ewalt and Helen Wallbank were able managers, and they were kindly helped by Mrs. Ditlev-Simonsen, who arranged an au- thentic Norwegian display in the tea room. Our trailer trip wound up safely at Denver, Colorado, around five o'clock, and though a bit weary after the journey, everyone felt stimulated by our nation-wide ex- cursion.

NOW IS THE MONTH OF MAYINGH Snowy white crab-apple blossoms, scarlet and yellow tulips, violets and lilies, and the young green of new leaves and grass combined to make a perfect setting for the crowning of our queen, Helen Wallbank, and for the gay program in her honor. The order of our songs and dances, some new and some familiar, appeared in print this year on a blue and silver parchment scroll. The festivities followed a Shakespearean theme. Patty Lou Manning as Touchstone, the jester, greeted the guests and introduced each lively number. Rosalind, masquer- ading as a country lad, was Wooed by Orlando, and Katherine the Shrew submitted, not entirely unwillingly, to Petruchio's persuasions. The on-lookers' approval was aptly expressed by their interest in the plays, by their hearty applause, and of course, by the incessant clicks of cameras.
