Bobby tplease excuse us, Mr. Robertl Young, the newly elected mayor of the city is poking his official nose into tent flaps and stands to be sure that the circus folk are violating none of the regulations of his fair city. A hearty slap on the back almost sends his cigar down his throat and he turns to face a yellow and red appari- tion- Chip Iohnson, himself, the chief clown of the show and an old friend of the mayors XNell, well, l've been looking for you , the clown began, l have a message from Madamoiselle Turner in Paris. The mayor pricked up his ears at the mention of madamoiselle and Paris. Who wouldnt? She knew that we would tour this country and asked me to look up her old friends in the class of '36. was just plain Doris mayor, and what is Yes, but she then, began the she now? An opera star and a good one. And do you remember lna Grubbs? l saw her in New York. She is acting as secretary to the president of the Chase National Bank Not bad. l should say not! But who else have you seen in your wanderingsl' Page X I5 t Now let me see. There was a young couple by the name of Snipes. He called her Bernice, so that must have been her name at North I-ligh-Bernice Rykard. They were enjoying a quiet home life, as far as I could see. I wonder, thought the Mayor, with a reminiscent look in his eyes. And say , went on the clown, I saw a swell opening in New York, the Gold Diggers of 1946 Maybe some of them are your old friends. Nola Tuttle is be- ginning her stage career as leading lady. Sure l remember Nola. Let's see, that leaves only a few more. Have you ever heard of a chap by name of A. V. Barringer? The one with a mustache? Oh, yes, he's the president of the A. and P. Stores of the U. S. And he told me that your friends Misses Krites, Vanhoy, and Rus- sell are learning more about the gentle art of house-keeping as they are on the list of brides-to-be. Well, that accounts for all of them, l guess. Say wait - But the clown was dissappearing to- ward the center of the ring as the band struck up the tune for his entrance, and the mayor was left to chew thoughtfully on his cigar and think over old days at North High.
