3 I FOREWORD We wonder how many of our readers have ever thought, after attending a circus, of the wonderful mechanism with which it is operated? Think of the many people who go with the show, all working hand in hand to move the great ”Machine” so smoothly and unfailingly, though occasional hardships are encountered—people of different race and breeding, of different minds and talent, fulfilling tasks of widely-separated variety, yet all co-operating in order to sustain the Circus. True, it is wonderful. Still, is it more wonderful than the mechanism with which our school is operated? Our student body is composed of students of different race and breeding, of different minds and talent, who work on courses of great varieties, yet they somehow pull together in order that the school might be continued. To the casual onlooker at a circus, it seems those jolly, happy, shouting clowns, as well as performers and other show folk, would never have their sorrows and misfortunes. However, those same carefree folk often lead very serious lives, and some even lead sad lives. Just so it is in our Circus. People who merely hear of the goings-on or occasionally pay us a visit think we never have anything but fun, but we also have serious times intermingled with this fun as the real circus folk do. In fact, the two compare closely in so many respects, that we, the Staff, have chosen the Circus as the theme for our 1911 Year Book. OLD NOKOMIS PAGE POUR
