boolean problem

I'm trying to create curves as illustrated by the red lines in the attached image. I have tried selecting the top curve, boolean>union, the circle curve and then the done button. But nothing happens. I've tried every boolean option in every order of selecting curves that I can think of but I can't get it to produce the resulting curve (in red) that I'm hoping for. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong or how to accomplish this? Thanks.
