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

From here we enter the second big tent, their where the animals are being prepared for performances. Farmer Lee Creasy, with Edward Stanavage, William Sherpensky, Joe Gayusky, and Edward Kavalusky, are busy feeding the animals. We go on a little further, where we see Paul Eck, John Kohan, John Usiak, Lawrence Brady, Robert Metzger, Peter Deriscavage, Ronald IIP Schlemmer, and Edward Shenton carrying water for the elephants. 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. Next we have the parade around the main tent. Then they go into the rings and the show is on. First, our attention is called to the midgets- Roy Shaner and Mary Yurasek-who perform very cleverly. Next we are attracted by the Tall Man, better known as Jerome Yodesky. Then comes the Fat Man, Joe Bennett, turn- ing somersaults. Now we see Maggie and Jiggs, better known as Anna Zalas and Tommy Ryan. Next we see a wrestling match between Leonard Polubinsky and John Doranda. We are startled by great cheering and ap- plause. Here come James O'Brien, Al War- cholak, Peter Hydock, Steve Nepowatti, Joe age 67 J
