P. iAfter Prohibit-ionb Direct from Two Months Continuous Performance at J. W. Leake's Exclusive Winter' Gardens Scappoose, Oregon This show will appear at Harry Mackey's Arbor Gardens Fe-bruary 30 and 31st This poster, which appeared on a bill board in Montavilla, called to the mind of the expert yegg, Iven Pease, that a circus carried a large pay roll. Corbly iShylockJ Church, of hearing of the presence of the dangerous crook in the city, consented to spend several shekels for the purchase of a heavy iron safe from the venerable safe vendor, Dick At- kinson. 81 Front Street, who has at last married the leading lady of Clarence, Florence Fitzgerald. As you remember, this romance started when both were members of Doris Ogden's Follies of 1922. - Just then Bob Mautz, celebrated tight-rope artist, burst into the office accompanied by the Parisian Dancer Superb, Gladys Noren. He imparted to Shylock the news that Leora Embree, the snake charmer, in a fit of anger, had bit the largest of the boa-constrictors, imparting a fatal wound. The boa-constrictor, angry because he was 011, wi-apt himself about a flock of chorus girls, causing many casualties both to minds and bodies. Among the injured show girls were Ruth G.reen and Ann Karlsen, the Albino sisters: Gladys Young, the bearded lady: Delight Ingold, Helen Gripper, and Claribel Lamont, lady bare-back riders of the first tent, Zelia Zigler, fat lady: and Doris Gubser, Liona Abernatha, Ruth Chvitwood, Agnes Gorzelancyk and Nelypthia Clarke, acrobats. On calling the Standard 8 Ambulance Service, managed by Charles Lee Reynolds, we found the driver to be none other than Lucian Robinson, accompanied by Dr. Eldon Lambert, snake bite spec-- ialist, and his able corps of nurses, Gladys Fim-mel, Melissa Brockway, and Judith Biiggerstaff. In the midst of the excitement came the news that Dugan, the pei, elephant, had broken loose and was speeding through the streets of Sellwoorl at the top speed of a Dort. Great consternation reigned until Pete Palmer 'came in and annocnced that he had at last captured the speeding mountainside. He then created diversion for the com- Page Twenty-nine

4. Now, didn't the fun of Clarence, presented on January 6 and 7, by an all star cast, bring us out of our holiday hibernation, though? We'll say it did. And didn t we have heaps of fun at the Prom on FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH? Foreign talent Cfrom the classj pre- sented, on January 11, masterpieces-equaling anything ever seen in the arena of Rome. We wish to thank Dr. Bowman for preaching our baccalaureate sermon at the First Presbyterian Church on January 22. Commencement! The close of four kaliedoscopi-c years sent us forth to the world each armed with a deadly DIPLOMA Uanuary 27, 19223. ALICE SODERWAL-L, Auctores. FRAIN WALKER, Scriptor. Qlllass Bonn Well, folks, our days are ended, And as we say goodbye, We can't help feeling saddened Without quite knowing why. We think of all the friendships We've made while we were here- Of teachers, and our classmates Grown unusually dear. We feel that the old spirit, Excitement, and the haste, We regret the many hours That we were wont to waste. Appreciate your school days, Ye, whom we leave behind, For some day y'ou'll be leaving, A-nd then, you, too, will find That you are feeling sadder And we can tell you why: You never miss the water Till the well runs dry!

flrlll f fiinfwf pany present by relating his latest ,methods for handling elephants. T.hey all trooped out to gaze upon Llewelyn'-s captive, only to find Frain Walker finishing the 'big thing of his life: namely, the washing of said monster. In this he was ably assisted by Elston Hopwood and Ray Thompson, water carriers, and superintendent of the street cleaning bureau, Hib Holloway. Suddenly' some woeful wails pierced the atmosphere, but upon in- quiring we were told that it was only Mae Shankland cultivating some new laughs for the hyenas. As we strolled toward the animal quarters, we met Henry Alder- man out playing nursemaid to his family of monkey charges. After seeing Henry, we inquired for Helen Adams: but we were told we could not see her, for during the afternoon performance, when she held her head in the lion's mouth, the lion forgot to keep his mouth open. The ring master, Walter Soderwall, was very mu-ch upset over the accident and had the lion rushed to the veterinary. Dorothy Anderson, the tight-rope walker, fainted, and Evert Baker, her companion, attempt- ing to aid her, lost his balance also, and -the two crashed down cpon the ring master's big silk hat. After the excitement had subsided, we went to the pie eating con- test between the clown, Eugene Richmond, and Herbert IIartman's pet pig, which was to determine who could eat the greatest num-ber of Aunt Lois Day's Delicious Pies. The contest, arousing our appetites, we spent the afternoon, against the o.rders of our dentist, Ruth Cle- land, and our doctor, Jose Landingin, in eaftling quantities of Uncle Ed. Crocker's amalgalmated doughnuts, Sister Agatha Esswein's red hots and Brother Ed. Locke's Never Run pink lemonade. T.he evening performance was juct commencing as we entered the big top where we were treated to an exhibition of the clever bare-back riding quartet, The Luciles, featuring Baker, Dun-can, Hodge-s and Logan. The next to hold our interest were the trapeze performers, Darr McLean, Kathryn Fisher, and Fay Heiny, with Herbert Finzer officiating as a bar. The big ring show over, we wandered over to the side show exhi- bitions. The first friends to meet ou.r gaze were Andrew Yunker, the two-headed calf, and Olive Keller, the aviatrix. We ran across Ger- trude Hoffman, Susan Ross and Gladys Pierrot with the Hula Hula Girues. A The last event of the evening was the Roman Spectacle featuring Howard Osvold as Julius Caesar. The chariot drivers were Andrew Yunker, Turk Titus, John Gooding Rivenburg and Lawrence Scharpf. the Roman G-oddesses, Juno, Athena and Venus were well characterized by Freda Wilder, Inez Reifsnyder and Mildred Ramsey, respectively. Some day! remarked Bull Simola, as We patiently awaited the St. .Iohn's car. Page Thirty
