Senior Class Prophecy ONE bright sunny day in May. 1948. Patsey and Holland decided to take Rolland's two nephews to the Houck and Yasek seven ring circus. They climb into his flivver, recently purchased from the Elmo Ward Seconde Hande Shoppe and start merrily on their way. As they pass the school. Miss Froeschle. the kindergarten teacher, waves as does Marjorie Collins, bringing the iw ins to school. After riding for an hour the little group comes upon the circus grounds. As soon as Wallace Wright has collected their free passes the party enters the grounds. To get a better look at the girl behind the candy counter. Elaine Smith. Rolland buys a little to appease Junior. Before the monkey prison they run into Bob Brooks with his scout troop watching Jim Wear clean the cage. As they proceed they sight the elephants erecting side-show tents under the supervision of their handler. LaVern Roe: and are particularly interested by Laura Pelletier putting her ostrich through his paces before the performance, when a flashbulb goes off. Rolland puts on his best smile and turns around expectantly only to find the target was the famous debutante. Aldean High with her escort. Charles Cain. Far to the right they see the famous etiquette authority Helen Black sitting in her box with Velda Jenne visiting from Seattle. Just then David Wind brings around his lemonade made by the famous DeLash-mutt process. No sooner do they drink the refreshing liquid than Erwin Shannahan leads his band in the opening piece and the circus has started! Through a door in the far end comes a gorgeous gilded lady seated on a gold elephant. As the procession draws nearer Pat Sherlock is recognized as the glamorous leading lady. Shortly behind her come the two human torches (June Dey and Joan Mead) dressed in fancy skirts of asbestos. “Look!” squeals the baby. “Here comes a giraffe.” Sure enough, there is Lee Emery leading his wild friend. Well.” sighs Patsey. I hope he has finally found a neck able to withstand the punishment he dishes out!” Rolland looks suspicious, but says nothing as a rather deformed horse passes by. Wearing the tail we would find Clare Caviness. while holding up the head Kenneth Ferris. On glancing up they behold Gene Peterson selling ice cream and still waving his eye lashes winningly. When asked what he is doing in the vicinity Pete ' replies that he and Pauline Farmer have become partners in the ice cream business. She makes it: he sells it. With whip snapping and coat tails flying. Dean l ink, the master of ceremonies, steps into the middle arena to announce the numbers. In the first ring are seen four clowns, each trying to surpass the others in versatility, agility, and comedy. Jim La-Forest. and Doug Gunness always have been cut-ups. but it's it little hard to understand the motives behind Dick Miller and Nordell Wallace undertaking this career. All four are hideously funny and get a large hand as they fall out of the ring. In the second ring two men and two women are thrilling the audience with their daring aerial fetes on the trapeze. Wouldn't Miss Hamblin be surprised if she could see Audrey Heide-brecht and Roy Ledgerwood executing stunts that are unimaginable even to her. Betty Jane Grenfell and Orval Crimmins are more at home in the air than eagles. In the third ring Betty Johnson is entertaining the crowd with her marvelous toe dance on horseback. Not to be outdone by the others, the weight lifters are outdoing themselves. First Frank Loomis picks up a 50 lb. dumbbell, tosses it into the air and catches it. Then Eugene Martin throws a 100 lb. dumbell. a 200 lb. and then Joy Pollard. In the fifth ring Louise Kendrick. Ed Hendricks, and Carol Sanford are taking a bicycle across a tight rope. Carol is walking and holding the bike above her head while Ed rides it and holds Louise on the handlebars. The sixth ring features Ethelyn Gearin and Robert Caldwell doing a super-colossal, gigantic, stupendous, juggling act. They manipulate
