ENTERING THE BIG TOP Bustle, excitement, roaring lions, growling bears, screech- ing monkeys, all against a musical background, announce the arrival of the circus. The two ringmasters have their hands full regulating daily rehearsals and performances and keep- ing routines smooth. Their many assistants, the trainers, carry through the daily schedules, often working overtime on new tricks for the animals. Without the animals themselves, there could be no circus. Out of the three classes, the first group includes those who are getting ready to give their final performance. The Senior Lions are in the final stage of training before putting on their last show. During this period, rough spots are smoothed out. and the amateurs are ready to ascend to a still greater Big Top in the experiences ahead. Those in the second stage arc the Junior Bears, who are working hard to get their junior tricks down pat before ad- vancing to the next class. They arc privileged in that their circus life is not yet at an end. Their trainers are preparing them to be performers in their numerous fields so that the smoothing down process will be less difficult when they move on to the stage of the world. The beginners. Sophomore Monkeys, are having a good taste of circus life with all its thrills and spills. The nine previous years have given them a good idea of how much hard work and fun goes into practicing and training. The two years ahead of them will teach them needed skills. Growls and protests escape now and then from animals and trainers alike, but arc soon forgotten in the every day laughs that accompany their striving to get ahead. When all is over, they agree that every tiny bit of work was neces- sary in preparation for the future, ‘‘The Greatest Show on Earth.” CONSULT OUR CLASSIFIED ADS
