An Ypsilanti family watching signers of the Declaration of Independence with Independence Hall in the background made up a float on "The American Way of Life" in yesterday's holiday parade at Ypsilanti. The float, prepared by the Ypsilanti Board of Commerce, was one of more than a dozen of its type seen along the city's 1 1/4-mile parade route.

NERO FIDDLES: Floats in yesterday's parade kicking off Michigras, the U-M student carnival given every two years, had musical themes. This one, based on Roman Emperor Nero and his fiddle, drew a lot of attention.

CLOWNS SPICE PARADE: Typifying the gay spirits of Michigras were the parade clowns, like this one sprawled on the street to get a worm's eye view of the "cavemen" on an approaching float.

AUTOMATED MUSIC: Living musical "instruments" decorated this Michigras Parade float which has "orchestration automation" as its theme. Forty floats, 12 bands, horses, clowns and other novelties made up the line of march, which took about an hour to pass by any given point.
