f I f' G gg, e Ill fi i X J lz il f al flww-Qil' M Prophesy of Class of 1935 It was N55 and l had lived on Mars for twenty years. One clay I got rather lonesome so I set up my telescope and looked down on Earth to see if I couldnt lind some of my old classmates. Much to my disappointment it was night on Earth and I couldn't see a thing. Iiut all of a sudden I saw a bright spot so I adjusted my telescope to make it more clear. .Xhl it was a circus all lighted up. There was the name on the sign above the entrance lialcomb and Barnes. I'roprietors. Well, well and there was Gerald .Xdams taking tickets with Virginia Davis as his assistant. I connected my Plana- phone tnewest invention used for talking between planetsj with Gerald to see if he could tell me about the rest of my schoolmates. Ile told me that they were all working for the Black Bottom Circus. Charles Sheron and his well-known pal Karl Iiahle are Twist and Untwist the world famous contortionists. I'll bet they could maneuver the ball through the line if they were playing football at good old lYest Linn now. Evelyn Yeomans, Vernon Boecknian. lVilma Seitz and Paul Snapp give the crowd all the thrills. they are, the trapeze performers. The Bow Wows, in the olden days they were called barkers, are Ken- neth Iilliott, star basketball player for X'Vest l.inn. Gus Meyers. and Rae Marsh the football heroes. The man who can take it as they used to say is Ralph Ford one of the main side show attractions. He sits still. can you imagine it, while 100,000 volts of electricity are shot through him. I think he was born thirty years too late, they used to shoot only 25.000 volts through them. Maxine Laub and Sadie Ryser are running the hot dog stand. Their ambition always was to sell hot dogs but they wanted to sell them to the fishermen on the river not to circus spectators. I guess it is better though for half of your ambition to- come true if not all. One ol the greatest attractions at the circus is the noted fan dancer. Esther Lange. XVe also have another famous dancer here. Maxine Parker. the hula dancer. Now you wonder why you have to shove and push to get into the circus tent. . . We also have the three glasses of the circus, Florence de Neui, Amy Ilegar. and Dorothy Snyder, better known as the Tumblers. The ventriloquist. Randal Oaks delights in asking Nellie Hughes questions. She is supposed to be the dummy who sits on his knee and answers them. Belle Brown. the equestrienne. and her five horse-back riders are Dorothy Ann Duncan. Verne Steiner. Elmer Vick. Anna Volpp and Mar- jorie Chapman. These also are employed by the circus. Mostly women are found in this side show. They all want to find out who will be their handsome Romeo. I,ucille Draper, the now called future teller never lacks anything to do. It seems that times never change with regard to this business at a circus. One of these days I'm afraid that Queen Helen will be no more. Her greatest delight is to put her head into a Tiger's mouth. at least it is sup- posed to be her delight. Don't let lVayne XVisham have your hat if he asks for it when you go into his tent or you might find anything in it from soup to catsup. He is the man who does all the little disappearing acts. Go see the great ma- gician. I 22 I
