Having seen the animals, we proceed to the main tent. Here we are met by a group of ushers -Robert Derrish, Leo Chicanavage, George Hume, Edward Kvaskas, Victor Gavanus, and Roman Seminack, who show us to our seats. Arriving early and while waiting for the performance to begin, we were annoyed by Charles Hess, Anthony Savaika, Nicholas Tes- Iuka, and William Svidra selling peanuts, pop- corn and candy. The show is about ready to start and now we hear several Victor Herbert selections by the orchestra, composed of Irene Kenney, leaderg Andrew Morba, Evelyn Goyne, Nancy Miles, Leonard Petcavage, Thomas Lehe, Joe Nolter, and Doro Serano.

The day has come, the circus is here, and as we are on our way to see this colorful show we meet three very dear old maid friends-Ruth Wfheat, Isabel Paul, and Esther Tulin-who ac- company us. Arriving at the circus grounds, we start down the gladway when to our amazement we see Lulu Beltz, Daryel Hawkes, Charlotte Young, Magdeline Sherkness, Evelyn Mazeikas, and Eleanor Luke at the doggie stand, selling hot dogs and hamburger sandwiches. A little farther on we see Elvira Rich and Mary Govera doing business at the ice cream and soda stand. We go on down the gladway. Next we see a big crowd surrounding a great team, Stiney Set- cavage, John Fedorchalk, Franklin Wagner, Frank Molisius, and Joe Urban, throwing balls, but not basketballs, three shots for a dime. Being convinced by Barkers Victor Sankus and George Sherkness, we approach the ticket wagons to buy our admission tickets. Here we find Edward Northey, Rae Kasselman, Joe Va- dapalas, and John Urban-four real business hus- tlers, selling tickets. On we go to the ticket collectors, who are Samuel Babyar, Billy Foley, Mary Waba, and Valeria Yenchoris. Passing these successfully, we were next met by Alice Urbas and Mary IP Szematowicz, who presented us with a beautiful program edited by Sophie Setcavage. We now enter the first of three great tents, where are assembled an endless variety of ex- hibits. Upon entering, first to greet us were Doris Adams, Regina Baranusky, Mae Cattell, Mary Kunausky, selling souvenirs. Now we see fifteen smaller tents, each con- taining an exhibit. We enter Tent No. 1, where we are enter- tained by the Singing Trio, Hannah Golin, Sonia Moncavage, and Dorothy Swadis. In Tent No. 2 we meet Helen Cummings, Florence Coulson, and Catherine Dochney, giv-- ing cooking instructions to the men. Tent No. 3, nursing exhibit, where we find Betty Kane, Margaret John, Anna Mariken, and Aldona Sluzalis showing how the modern nurse has helped suffering humanity. In Tent No. 4 we find two missionaries, Edna Stephens and Martin Slabey, who have just re- turned from China. In Tent No. 5 we find an exhibit of drawing by Eleanor Gottschall and Ivor Richards. Tent No. 6. In this tent we find very good orators and hear three great discourses by Paul Blankenhorn, Henry Schreyer, and Frances Litsch. In Tent No. 7 we are entertained by the Girls' Chorus, composed of Florence Davidson, Mar- garet Lowe, Marion Novak, Dorothy Phillips, age 66 1

We are now entertained by three very funny clowns, whom we later found out to be John Price, Francis Testen, and Michael Tynio. Now entering are five fluffily dressed girls- Isabel Holland, Rita Golden, Anna Becker, Tillie Yodesky and Ethel Harper. Into the ring they go, each riding a beautiful white horse. They are all real performers. Next enter five clever acrobats. Elizabeth Stocker, Marian Filer, Bernice Parfitt, Stella Klimowitch and Helen Magotch-up the ropes, onto the trapeze, where they perform remark- able stunts. Here come the elephants. Into the ring they go, performing unbelievable stunts, with Joe Rapach, Joe Petrasky, Angelo Olimpi, Edward Mikulas, and Edward Mikalonis as their trainers. Now entering the rings are five more acro- batic girls-Bernice Janov, Anna Yext, Dorothy Wittmer, Helen Yankus and Catherine Whit- taker. Up the poles they go, dancing on the tight ropes with remarkable skill. IP A cage of roaring lions is brought in. We then see George Brokenshire entering the cage to perform while his assistant, Henry John, waits outside to see that no harm comes to George. We now see four great bicycle riders-Frank Marcus, John Sabol, John Quinney and Michael Humanick -- direct from the six-day bicycle races. What a race! It was won by John Quin- ney. Now entering are red, green, and yellow racing cars. It looks like Barney Oldfield and his companions, but no, they are Wassil Palaima, Robert MacLaren, and Franklin Dreisbach. They are off like a shot. Round and round they go. The race is won by Robert MacLaren. Last, but by no means least, comes John Grybosh, with his M. C. H. S. monoplane, doing fancy loop the loop stunts in the air. Good luck, John! Some day you'll fly around the World. The performance is now over. We are pass- ing through the exit when we hear the clicking of typewriters and the rustle of paper, we stop, and find Anna Evans, Helen Janowitz, Cath- erine Ryan, Florence Lawler, Anna Quick, and Loretta McKerns, who gave us the report that the Circus of Life of the Class of 1936 has proven a grand success. age 681
