HATS OFF TO . . .

A long roll of the drums by our circus band, and the Big Top is plunged into dark- ness. Then, as one brilliant beam of light is turned on the center ring, we see the star of our 1954 Sea Gull. For six years she has worked behind the scenes at Gulf Park, giv- ing her valuable time and boundless energy to all school undertakings — Sing Song, Mar- di Gras, Commencement activities and social functions — in addition to the invaluable training and assistance which she offers her speech majors. The producers of the 1954 Greatest Little Show on Earth are indeed honored to present in the spotlight for the first time . . . Miss Helen Picking.

IN 1865

Kreeger's opened its doors to the carriage trade of New

Orleans; and a few years later, moved to Canal Street, where

the American New Orleans and the French New Orleans

joined in a common shopping center.

TODAY

Canal at Bourbon is one of the famous crossroads of the world.

Here, under the direction of the Kreeger family for three

generations, has grown a fashion store of distinction with

an international clientele. When you pass Kreeger's corner,

stop in and browse around. It will be a privilege and a pleasure to serve you.
