Here comes a snappy group! It's the circus band under the direction of that musician Who gained fame as a tamborine soloist with the Salvation Army Band-Ed Rees. Also among this group are those silver-lipped trumpeteers James Luegers and Don Gutzweiler. Next in line is Rich Jahn, the celebrated driver who drives his midget auto around the in- side walls of an oil barrel three times daily--for one thin dime. Just behind him is Marth Koch who last year was the first woman to win the Indianapolis Speedway. Following this maiden are those daredevils of the high wire-Alfred, Dennis, and Paul Kreilein, followed by Edwin and Edwina Burger, the Siamese twins. And now, ladies and gentlemen! Here comes that fearless lion trainer just back from the Wilds of Africa-Fred Beckman. His assistants, Robert Kruger and Dennis Kraft, are trying desperately to keep the lions within their cages. The typical Italian with his hurdy- gurdy is Ed Stenftenagel. James Troxler is replacing the hurdy-gurdy's monkey this after- noon. I understand the poor beast went mad trying to imitate humans. Ronnie Heim was originally scheduled to fill the gap, but he was- ah -- late Cagainj. Next in line is that mighty little man, the daredevil of the circus, Tom Fritz, who performs the unbelievable feat of diving into a spoonful of water from the top of the tent. Following him are Jerry Horney and Marv Hopf who have made a fortune selling pink lemonade-they got their secret formula from a special recipe at Ferdinand. No circus is complete without the side show attractions, and here they are: Wif Haas, the strong man, Rose Lee Wibbles, the fire-eater, Luscious Lucille Gutgsell, the lady wrestler and her partner, Bev Hallerg magician Chester Blackhat Gutzweilerg and those fiery-tempered sword swallowers Rose Ann Hoffman and Eileen Schmidt. There are lovely dancing girls from the Orient-Shirley Labhart, Eleanor Seng, Thelma Vonderschmidt, Betty Heeke, and Joanne Fromme. Norma Hudson, Helen Klee, Delma Miller, Imogene Schnell, Gertrude Steffen, and Wilma Mehne dash by on prancing white ponies. Behind them comes a tweed convertible with some special guests. They are Bettye Schneider, recently appointed envoy to Bermuda. This is the same Miss Schneider who made headlines some years ago by burning down Stephens College with a careless match. Riding with her is Marilou Lottes, famed columnist, who replaced Hedda Hopper after her untimely death. Also in the car are congressmen Don Habig, Frank Berg, and Robert Brosmer. Next comes the Klondike Chorus Girls-Ramona Allen, Gloria Adams, Wilma Hurst, Wilma Weisman, and Beatrice Seger. John Bohnert is here with his clowns. So are jugglers Ruth, Maurice, and Georg- ann Buechlein. Archie Tretter follows with his wild West show. Among this troupe are such well-known riders as Leon Lehmkuhler, Irma Fleck, Jim Sonderman, Irene Giesler, Agnes Gish, Edwin Prechtel, and Marcus Schepers. Then, of course, there is the star rider, Peggy Calamity Jane Pfau. Next in line are Don Sermersheim, Ruth Schuetter, Wilfred Merkel, William Schroeder, and Dolores Vonderheide riding on giraffes. Behind these come Joan Uebelhor, the circus artist, who is still painting stripes on one of the zebras. Trailing the entire parade is nurse Shirley Hoffman, ready to give first aid to anyone overcome by the excitement of the circus parade. Slowly the group winds out of sight-they trail off into the distance. Here in the circus are a varied crew, but whatever path they have chosen to follow, this roving re- porter is sure they will make their mark in the circus called life. twenty-five

,CI e cus alice! Life Fully three days have passed since newspaper owner Robert Nalin-the energetic ty- coon who rose from a paper carrier to owner of one of the largest newspapers in the country -has run the brightly colored ad proclaiming to all that the world famous Hedinger Bros. circus was coming to town. With a flourish of trumpets and a flip of his gold-tipped cane, Master of Ceremonies Tom Schutz leads the band of merry-makers down the streets. Here they come amid the noise and confusion of circus parade atmosphere, winding their way through the crowded streets to the far side of town where the plastic tent, designed by architects Byrd and Hochgesang, awaits them. Here is the roving reporter, Jack Jenkins, to keep you posted on the parade and the festivities of the day. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It's a beautiful day and one that promises not to be without excitement. Standing at our right here, is Mayor Paul Rumbach who officially welcomed the circus to town a few moments ago by presenting the owners of the circus with the key to the city. As you know, we were to have the well-known home economist as our guest today, the former Betty Rowekamp. However, one of her twelve children was unexpectedly caught in the automatic diapering machine recently presented to her by inventor Charles Witcher. Due to that unfortunate accident she will not be with us today. B But back to the circus! Passing the reviewing stand right now are the lumbering elephants with their trainer Basil Klern. How charming the animals look in their pink 'caf- feta coats sewed by nimble-fingered Mary Mae Vonderheide-and so do the lovely girls riding on their backs. Foremost of these is Jeanne Parker, queen of the pachyderms, with her attendants Betty Jones, Sally Sermersheim, Betty Lampert, and Mary Kunkler. Next come the animals cages, brightly shining with a fresh coat of gilt, and driven by Ed Bred- hold, Clarence Fleck, and Don Jurgens. twenty-lour
