W’ho’d think that such dumb dumbbells ’D think of a motto like “Loyalty”? ’N first, when they wuz tested They wuz “shaky on their pins”. But say. when them rankin’ cards cum out There wuz a lot o’ grins! Them kids cain’t help but cum out right— W ith them fine sponsors and teachers too; With officers, colors, and motto like theirs I’ll say the Frosh will pull thru. G. T.

We are the Clowns, the laugh-provokers of this Circus, hut. as Clowns are important in every Circus, we have not the slightest objection to this name. On the second of September, ninety-eight Clowns joined this huge Circus and reported “on duty” at the N. T. H. S. tent. At first our new routines were very strange. We did not all choose the same training for we were preparing for different sorts of work. In September the girls of the Star Performers took the Clown girls under their protection and gave us a Big-Little Sister Party. On Hallowe’en the Roustabouts gave us a party and we were royally entertained. Soon after, four Clowns left us to seek other occupations. Then came one of the grand and glorious rehearsals which everyone dreaded. With helpful points from our Ring Masters and with careful study, we lived over this. Twelve Clowns won honors. Three other rehearsals resembling this one were given us—one in January, one in March, and one in May. As we are now a part of this huge Circus, we are trying our very best to become Roustabouts; and by annual promotions, in four short years, we hope to claim the title Star Performers’. If our record continues, then we can, with modesty, shout ‘Hooray for us! Goody for ourselves!” G. T. PAGE NINETEEN OLD NOKOMIS
