The circus. A place where young and old alike may retreat into a world of colorful, sparkling costumes, wild exotic ani¬ mals, and exciting, larger-than-life performers, all blending perfectly to put on a spectacular show that dazzles the eye and delights the heart and mind. But hidden beneath all the glitter is much hard, exacting work, involving many hours of ef fort and practice toward the perfection of the individual’s performance. Each person is doing what he does best — his forte, his specialty, whether it lx- clowning, walking a tightrope, lion taming, or conducting a side show. There is an amazing parallel between the circus and Oakton High; there is performing and entertaining, acts of bravery and intelligence, and a very attentive audience that follows every show But, like the circus, beneath all the excitement there remains much work and preparation toward the comple¬ tion of every circus’s goal: to become known as the Best Show in Town.
