Screams from the crowd quickly turn our attention to the third ring where a death-defying act has everyone on the edge of his seat. We see a dark-haired girl standing against a board while a man outlines her body with sharp knives. The fearless girl is Myrna Weiske, and the man is Lucky Laurence Stroebel. High in the center of the tent suspended in the air by a single rope a girl spins swiftly around, hanging on only by her teeth. Our curiosity is aroused, so we borrow the binoculars of the lady next to us, and Maxine Riebhoff appears be- fore our eyes. WTe hear a bark, but it doesn't sound like that of a dog. It's not a dog for there in the center ring are six seals happily tossing a colored ball from nose to nose. They form a little circle which encloses their trainer, who, we are in- formed, is Fern Krull. Our view is suddenly blocked by a bunch of gaily-colored balloons. Although she has changed considerably, we are still able to recognize the seller as Marie Gebken. A man tossing three plates, two bowls, and a rolling pin all at the same time with apparent ease catches our eye. His basketball playing back in Burt High must have helped Phillip Soderberg become such an expert juggler. The climax of the show is about to begin as a young lady dressed in a scar- let outfit places herself in the barrel of a giant cannon to be shot into a net four hundred feet away. Boom! The human cannon ball flies through the air, lands in the net, gets quickly to her feet, and waves gaily to the crowd. The pretty smile she flashes could belong to no one else than Mary Officer. The circus helpers bring in a large trampolene for the last act of the show. Two lively ladies come running in and start their difficult stunts. The ring master announces them as Colleen and Glenda , the world's greatest tram- polene team. As we leave the circus grounds, we see John Teeter, the owner of the big show. We inch our way through the crowd and ask him how he got started in this business. He tells us that when he decided to set up a circus, he asked the help of his classmates from Burt High School. They have been as co-operative in the circus as they were in school, he says. The circus has to start on its way to the next stop, so we bid John and his troupe farewell.
