Class History ConiNo Soon! [Twe G £ATwr Maw On Eartm i ; Seeing this sign, the chief reporter of the local newspaper said to himself. I must interview the owner of this show and learn what it is and who is in it. With that he started off, whistling gaily, on this bright morning in June. He met the owner, Mr. Friis, who told him he had been the owner for two years. It seemed that the former owner, Mr. Hennigar, had started the show four years before. He had taken inexperienced people with the idea of training them to be acrobats. The training period had finally been started in the fall of 1951. Twenty people started out. The ones on the trapeze were Ruth Clark, Bernice Fenziner, Barbara Rice, Rebekah Somes, John Adams, Francis Bernoi, Sidney Eichstedt, James Larkin, Timothy Somes and William Davis. Their trainer was Miss Walker, who later married and became Mrs. Odiorne. The ones who were training to be tight rope walkers were Priscilla Hewins, Pamela Pinkney, Dorothy Candee, Ann Curtiss, Leno Bernoi, John Coons, Fred Franklin, Joe Hurlburt, John Trierweiler and Donald Hart. Their trainer was Mr. Morac e and a good one he was, too. Mr. Friis said that under his direction he had his manager, Mr. Trocchi, who saw that all orders were carried out and everything was running smoothly. In order to see how they were coming along, occasionally theyput on free shows for the people. Mr. Norton, the ringmaster, officiated on these occasions and hoped to be able to officiate on the night that they finally put the show on. Progress was rapid for sixteen of them, that first year, and in the fall there were the original sixteen with two new acrobats, who thought perhaps they ' d try their hand at it. The ones on the trapeze were Ruth Clark, Bernice Fenziner, Barbara Rice, Rebekah Somes, John Adams, Francis Bernoi, Sidney Eichstedt, James Larkin, and Timothy Somes. Bill Davis had dropped out to attempt some- thing else. The trainer, Mrs. Odiorne, had left to lead a family life; and Miss Harrahy had come in her place. The ones who were on the tight rope routine were Priscilla Hewins, Dorothy Candee, Ann Curtiss, Leno Bernoi, John Coons, Joe Hurlburt, Donald Hart, and Duke Donsbough. Mr. Morace had left to be a trainer in another show, and Miss Ryan took his place. Pamela Pinkney, Fred Franklin, John Trierweiler had all left for new fields. Near the end of that year, though , they had gained a well- trained tight rope walker in Juanita Jackson. That second year hadn ' t progressed fast enough for Mr. Hennigar, and he had sold the show to the present owner, Mr. Friis. Miss Harrahy left them to gain further knowledge and was replaced by Miss Poulus in their third year. Some of them were getting terribly discouraged. Here they were starting their third year of training, and they didn ' t seem any nearer the finish than before. Joan Golden, Dorothy Candee, Ann Curtiss and Duke Donsbough gave up and left to do something else. Their numbers were filled out, though , by
