Elephant Sale - One white elephant is going up for sale May 12 at a white elephant sale for Greenhills School annual spring gala which raises money for the school's scholarship fund. Ira Jensen, left, made the creature which stands seven feet long, five feet high and five feet wide from ear to ear. Mrs. Jensen, a local artist with two children at the school, was asked to make some small elephants for the sale and got carried away with the project. Mrs. Jensen is showing the project to Sandy Herbertson and Susie Daliere, both parents, while Joyne Garbonshian, 7, daughter of a Greenhills teacher, takes an imaginary ride.

TRUNKS UP! -- AND DOWN THEY COME: Elephants of the Grotto circus enter and leave the Masonic temple by the front door, not because they are aristocrats of the ring but because that's the only entrance large enough for them. With the elephants are: (front to back) Will H. Hill, owner of the animals, Harrison H. Caswell, Grotto monarch and Earl G. Wilson, circus manager. The circus ends tonight.
