The Shullfon- Wild Wesi' Show RoBERT WYNNE AND EDWARD WALLACE, 9-5 Right this way folks, and you will see the greatest West- ern performance in the world! shouted Harrison Doyle, our ticket seller. We took our seats, and bought our soft drinks from Carl Lestes, who was working for the Coca Cola Company. The show opened with the blare of trumpets. The an- nouncer, Frank Preston, mounted the platform in the center of the t-ent. Bron-co busting was the iirst feature, starring Harold Schwar, Francis Albus, Thomas, Amato and Forrest Smith. The next performance was a quartet of cowboys singing the favorite song of the west, The Last Roundup. This quartet was made up of Joe Renaldi, Ed Will, John Daily and Joseph Ber- etta, the latter playing the guitar. Next came a group of cow- boys who entertained with trick riding. They were Leo Cal- andra, Jack Kutz, Howard Imboden, Ray Metz and Fred Lesher, they were accompanied by the fro-licsome cowboy, Schoolboy Round, who received a great deal of applause from the spectators. Next came a group of cow punchers showing their ability in the art af lassoing. They were Jack Yahraes, Clyde Sigafoos, Harry Huff and Michael Ciualano. Then was presented one of the most daring spectacles of the show-HoW- and Osmun, riding what was supposed to be the wildest horse this side of the Rockies. This amazing feat was followed by a trio of expert sharp-shooters, blowing cigars, cigarettes, and bottles to bits. They were Tony Maida, Joe Lombardo, and his brother T-ony. Next on the program was an exhibit of some of the finest breeds o-f horses in the West. The riders of the horses were Ed Dietrick, Felix Fagan and John Reed. This act was spoken of as the most interesting performance of the entire show. At this tim-e the foreman of the Bar 9-5 Ranch, Mr. Rider, appeared, and received a great deal of applause. Along with the foreman came all the performers, of the show in a grand finale. Trick shooting, riding, lassoing and singing brought this wonderful exhibition to an end, much to our disappointment. After much applause we left the greatest Wild West Rodeo we had ever seen. Bar 9-5 had given a very exciting picture of life on a western ranch. twenty-five

The Shullion WiH'y Whisperings He swings throughthe air With the greatest of ease The daring young man On the flying trapezef' This was the song played at the conclusion of the trapeze man's performance. The song ended and all was quiet. Sud- denly everyone noticed a s,mall object hanging from the bar on which the young trapeze miracle worker was now standing. The people were unable to distinguish the object, and see what it was doing. Not so with the young man on the trapeze. He was being tricked and he knew who was responsible. The ob- ject hanging under the bar was holding a small knife which had a thin, sharp blade and was threatening the performer in his sharpest tones. If you try to interrupt my conversation with this interest- ed audience, I shall cut the rope that holds your trapeze bar. The trapeze man, sensing the danger of Witty's threat, de- termined to watch his chance to throw the small pest from his place, whereupon Witty began his damaging oration: John Simonetta sits near Miss. Powell in Civics class. He seems to be getting too interested. What say, gals? Robert Rabich has a continuous pastime-it is dodging his arch-enemy, work. Mr, Yurkewitch, when in Mr. Rider's room, said that the hospital was down instead of up. Mr. Rider corrected him, and Mr. Yurkewitch said, Yes, but we are on the third Iloor of Shull building. Jimmy Gaffney may be growing in brain capacity, but he is certainly shrinking in size. Shull athletic field has been invaded by a goat. We all wonder whether that same goat came into the school and tinkered with the clocks for suddenly all school time pieces changed and we didn't know which one to believe. Shull may be proud of two new poets, Dale Schraeder and Fred Walters. Marie Van Doren was the teacher of the 9-l and 9-2 health class while Miss Cummings wasi absent. Her favorite saying was, Girls, be quiet! Harry Wesley must have a large conception of himself. He says that his seat in history class is, too small, but boys bigger than he use it daily and we hear no other complaints. twenty-six A '
