You bet 1 will! We came out here three years ago, signed up to be the Clowns. Oh, but we had a time that year, keeping everyone in hysterics! We felt timid but after we had elected Donald Husman, Elinor Myers, Fred Pannwitt, Lavonnc Meinzer, Mrs. Eekhoff. and Mr. Myers to protect us, we felt better. After tumbling into a few parties and a great many dangers we were finally given the vacation we all felt we had earned, and joyously departed. The next year we signed a contract for a higher position and were called Roustabouts. We had more confidence this year, and David Kessinger, Lila Underwood, Martin Kniker, Winifred Hand. Miss Pircher, and Mr. Schilling were our leaders. As our worth was recognized, we signed a contract for another year which made us Ballyhoo Men. Since managers are always needed, we chose Leonard Seletto, Helen Ruppert. Frank Kettelkamp, and Lottie Wyld, but in the middle of the season Mr. Seletto, the chief official, transferred to the Witt Circus, so Helen Ruppert, the next in rank, took his place. Our sponsoring Ringleaders this season were Miss Shoemaker, Miss Spclbring, and Mr. Stimuli, the first of whom very successfully surprised the entire Show by marrying, thus changing her name to Mrs. Beatty. Lavonnc Meinzer, one of our best actors, was elected Football Queen by other actors of the Circus world and by occasional Circus visitors. We presented a side show called “His Majesty Bunker Bean” which was, undoubtedly, a success. There is a rumor that we will be promoted at the end of the year: we shall have then reached the topmost rung of the ladder and have the honored name Performers. M. H. PACK TWENTY-XIXK OLD NOKOMIS
