LM sEN1oR CIRCUS Friday Night, December 12, 1930, ushered in a new event for O. T. H. S.--a Qircus, withpink lemonade, hot dogs, animals, Houses of Hor ors, nd What Have Youv, all at regular,'honeistftofgoodness circus prices. F -- From'5 :30 to'7:O0 P. M. an excellent supper was served in he Gypsy Tea Roomllx The dimly llighted, brightly colored room, with the charming little gypsy waitressedh at your service, was indeed a lovely place in which to dine. During the dinner hour, music was furnished by a groupaof high school girls and boys. The side shows from 5:00 to 7j30, were quite a success. g , i nl -The House of Horrors'.', arranged by the Annual Staff, was true to its name, and well worth the price of admission. i The , Freshman Follies was the hit of the evening, with its graceful little chorus girls, HulafHula dancers, and snappy music. Of course the circus would not have been complete, had it not been for the Senior PutfPut Golf Course , where Oakland's golf fans displayed their skill. And. wasnlt it scandalous but the Sophomores had a gambling den-- Monte Carlo , where many grand prizes were won, and to the players sorrow much money was lost. Then there was the Picture Gallery arranged by the Juniors, one of those good, old places where you get three shots at the Nigga baby , and you're sure to win everytime you spin that wheel -if your luck's with you. P g .Following the side shows a onefact play, The Trysting Place , by Booth Tarkf ington, was presented by: . f ' Mrs. Curtis, a widow ........ .............. F reda jones Lancelot Briggs .................. ......... S tephen Wright Mrs. Briggs, his mother ........ .......... Fl orence Gant Jessie Briggs, his sister ............ ........ B ernadine Nolan - :Ruper Smith, Jessies' friend ....... ................ C arlos Buckler A mysterious Voice ............. 1 ............................ Willard Montgomery Much to Steve's sorrow, he learned, through bitter experience what a fool a woman cangmake of a man. ' ' ,Free attractions lasting from 9:00 to 10:00 were 'given by each class: Cinf derella was presented by the Freshmen, Thanks For the Buggy Ride by the Sophomores,. The Old Lady in the Shoe by the juniors, and La Modiste Shop by the Seniors., , The Circus was a success and will be remembered. Page Fifty-two
