Presenting at this time for your pleasure, the feature attraction of this great season-the one and only senior class of 1955! Brought to you at great expense from all parts of the world, these star performers have gone through long hours of extensive and ardu- ous labor to perfect their varied skills. From the year 1951 when their ears tingled at the call of Hey Rube on up the climb to the center ring of the elite, this class has shown that man to man they have what it takes to make the grade here in the Big Top. Their respective ringmasters have put them through their paces most diligently, and though we might have lost a few to the lure of the out- side, the main body of the group still stands ready to show their wares. In their first year of apprenticeship, these green but plucky perform- ers sallied forth under Ed Eigenbrodt's direction, who received willing help from Dick Norenberg, Neil Nielsen, Sylvia Ebinger, Chris Arneson and Mimi Flickinger in getting off on the right foot under the Big Top. Showing considerable spunk if little else, they took part in the various side shows at North Central and startled a few of the seasoned performers by their success. In their sophomore year they returned ready to take over the Big Show but couldn't quite evict the headlines holding sway. By dint of hard work, they prepared themselves for their big day when the ringmasters would hush the house for their debut. Bud Hayes, aided by Bob Mc- Bride, Jane Koten, Ken Lewis, Sylvia Ebinger and Jim Kalas laid the foundations on which stardom was made. ln their Junior year, they came back showing flashes of greatness that would one day be theirs by bringing down the house on several of the feature acts such as the All-School Talent Show and the Jr.-Sr. Prom. Dick Norenberg led the year's successful entry into the big time along with Lyle Littlewood, Grant Schmidt, Jim Kalas, Mimi Flickinger and Lucille Williamson. As the year draws to an end, our now show- wise headliners step forward to take their places ln the starring roles-in the student government, fields of athletics, religious activities and in the classroom. In this, their final effort, Dick Wood- ward, supported by Ken Lewis, Neil Nielsen, Carol Roehm, Mimi Flickinger and Jim Klein showed the way. Like true showmen the class of 1955 has responded beautifully! Hats off to the feature players of our show-the class of 1955!
