two new additions to the tight rope routine — Carol Bennett and Bill Preston. The third year of training seemed to go along very well. The acrobats were becoming better and better. In the fall of 1954 the acrobats again congregated and discovered many changes. Mr. Norton, their ringmaster, had been taken by the army, and Mr. Thiel was the new ringmaster. Miss Poulus had returned to her parents ' home land, and Mrs. Rhoades had become the new trapeze trainer. Miss Ryan had married during the summer and had come back as Mrs. Armstrong. Joe Hurlburt, one of the tight rope walkers, had left for another show. He was continually falling off the rope, and so he went where there weren ' t girls to distract him. The acrobats trained hard during the year, and they were now about ready to put on their show. The reporter thanked Mr. Friis for the fine story he had given him and left. He watched the tents being put up and then decided to come to the show later in the week. JUNE 17, the night of the show, was as mild and as beautiful a night as you could wish. The tent was packed with people. Before the show the reporter went behind the scenes to meet everyone. MR. FRIIS, the owner, gave him a cheery hello and introduced him to everyone. He met MR. TROCCHI, the manager, who was the only one who had stayed with the show all four years. MR. THIEL, the ringmaster, gave him a good handshake. MRS. ARMSTRONG and MRS. RHOADES, the two trainers, were obviously very proud of their acrobats. The ones who did the trapeze act were: Ruth Clark, Bermce Penzfner Barbara Rice, Rebekah Somes, John Adams, Francis Bernoi, Sidney Eichstedt, James Larkin and Timothy Somes. The tight rope walkers were equally eager to meet him. They were: Priscilla Hewins, Juanita Jackson, Carol Bennett, Leno Bernoi, John Coons, Donald Hart and Bill Preston. He went back out and took his seat. The show began at 8:00 P.M. When it was finished, the applause was long and loud. There was no doubt in anyone ' s mind, this was The Greatest Show on Earth. THE END MOTTO: The future is not in the hands of fate, but in ours FLOWER: Scarlet Carnation SONG: The Halls of Ivy ■
