Los Altos High School graduate Terry Donaldson is a proffesional clown. She wore her clown suit for her 30th high school class reunion.

It's been 30 years since Terry Donaldson graduated from Los Altos High School. But she's still having fun.

This former Miss Los Altos returned to town recently for her 30th high school class reunion wearing a purple and teal clown suit.

"I really wasn't the class clown then," Donaldson said, "but obviously am now."

To keep up "the tradition of the outrageousness," she attended the Friday night activities in costume. She changed into her clown duds in the bathroom of Le Boulanger, a popular bakery and restaurant in downtown Los Altos.

She emerged from the ladies room with a froth of teal clown hair poofing out from under a purple hat. Shimmering purple and teal taffeta ruffles framed her cerise-pink clown lips and purple diamond-shaped eye makeup.

Are we having fun yet? No question that Donaldson is.
