PRESENTING OUR STAR ATTRACTION DEDICA TION It has been said many times that everybody loves a circus. There -is a fascination which seems to hover around the performances of the people under the big canvas. Our performances under the “big top” at Radford High School have been especially thrilling to our most ardent supporters. They have watched our exhibitions with mingled emotions . . . sometimes with amatemeh-t and wonder, sometimes with regret and disapproval, ' ' Rut always with impartiality and com- passion . N for they have had a vital part in training us for our final ' perfohipance and they are cognizant of our shortcomings!- ' , It is to the special trqinef , our MOTHERS and our DADS, that we gratefully dedicate the 1952 edi- tion of The OAK LEAF. V » Without their guidance and tH ir support, we could never have become the Stars ' of £fye big show. — 5 —

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN FOREWORD In presenting to you a few glimpses of our life under the “big top,” we hope to recall some of the happy moments that we have spent with our friends and schoolmates. We have not yet achieved the spectacular successes of the Ringling Brothers or of the Barnum and Bailey Shows. In fact, many of our performances have been amateurish and unskillful; however, the big show has been filled with magic moments and glorious memories for us — memories which we hope you will share with us in the 1952 edition of the OAK LEAF. — 4 —
