MAIN EVENTS
Strike up the band — the circus is here!
Yes, the 1954 Sea Gull presentation of the Greatest
Little Show on Earth is here complete with Side Show, Star
Performers, Clowns, Circus Hands — all of the people who
make life under the Gulf Park Big Top the wonderful thing
that it is.
So quickly take your seat. It's almost time for the feature
events to begin ... In fact, the main show of the 1954 Sea
Gull circus is starting now . . .

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.

AMAZINGLY ACCOM
Elephants are useful friends
Equipped with handles at both ends.
They have a wrinkled moth-proof hide;
Their teeth are upside down outside.
If you think the elephant preposterous
You've probably never seen a rhinosterous.

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.
