The circus has come to town and just outside the big top preparations for the grand march are under way. The yelis of the trainers, the hurrying back and forth of all the performers, and the bright costumes create an exciting atmosphere. Inside the tent anticipation runs high as the eager audience watches and listens to the vendors calling their wares. But perhaps before we start, a fuller explanation of the circus theme for our yearbook should be given. We chose it because we felt that in its gayety it was a part of high school life. Just before final exams maybe a struggling student will think high school is anything but a circus, yet we feel that looking back, our graduates will remember the gay and carefree times, the thrill of first contacts with the unfamiliar. With a little imagination, the atmosphere of a circus — exciting and novel — will seem to predominate in their memories of their good old high school days. But now the show is about to begin. The top performers are about to start the grand march; and so, with no more delay, on with the show!

Mr. Robbins in his office. 7a a Q'la+tdl Quy! To Mr. Glaydon Robbins, University High School's new assistant director, the seniors of 1944 dedicate this Bisbila. They owe him a true debt of gratitude for his untiring efforts to make their last year at U. High a memorable one. Friendly, understanding, and with a broad viewpoint, Mr. Robbins rated A-1 with the entire student body. All of U. High, both students and faculty, are sorry that Mr. Robbins will not be back next year, but sincere wishes for success in his new position go with him.
