One of the chief aspects of the SCC social life would have to be the banquet. Providing the faculty with an opportunity to see their students attractively or formally attired according to th student handbook dress code, and offering the students the privilege to satiate themselves with supper of succulent steaks, these feasts range from the opening Welcome Week Banquet to the grand, formal Junior-Senior Banquet. These annual festivals of food appear irregularly at the holiday intervals throughout the year.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the Greatest Show on Earth. Without further fanfare, the small, one-ring circus sponta- neously generated into action and evolved into a night of showmanship and fun. Lippy and Lucy, two foolish Sophomore clowns, stuinbled on stage and slapsticked their way out of the ring. While Bobo the Bear and Hud the Lion ravished their respective trainers, another animal from Zuver ' s Muscle Gym waited to do his thing with weights. More exciting and tense moments were yet to follow when Mully the Human Cannonball was to be shot from the big gun. After a momen- tous and nerve-racking build-up, the shot fizzled and Mully dropped out ten seconds later. The greatest and most dramatic act of the evening came near the end of the first half, as the circus prepared for the daredevil tightrope feat. With nervous fans cringing, the lights were extinguished, the drums began a tumultuous roll, and the spotlight centered on the wire. Suddenly from the top of the canopy, hundreds of feet in the air, the Fearless Fly- ing Flea came fluttering over the heads of his followers to arrive safely in the sawdust center of attraction to an unrestrained frenzy of ovation and acclamation. The second half, after the awarding of the costume prizes, brought on more experienced entertainment as the Jesters evoked laughter and guffaws from the friendly audience . With the conclusion of many Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles and assorted pantomine skits, the circus crowd slowly dispersed, well pleased with the evening and the Greatest Show on Earth of the Sophomore class. 49

But whether the entertainment was an up and moving musical recitation by our own Mrs. Budge or a performance by the illustrious New Hope Singers, the cuisine remained the most important ingredient for the satisfaction of the stomach. The prime event of the evening remained the indulgence into the tasty table treats of turkey and other tantalizing tidbits. With a surfeit of seconds setting in, every blossoming banquet was concluded by couples disappearing into the night to find some quaint restaurant at which to eat.
