ABOUT 450 attended the first performance of the Kiwanis Circus at Ypsilanti High School Tuesday evening and the trapeze act of the Keppo Family doing balancing and contortion acts was one of the favorites on the delightful program. Another performance of the circus will be this evening at 7:30 with Thomas Lawrence as ringmaster. Other features included the Kiwanis Clowns.

KIWANIANS STAGE CIRCUS: Ypsilanti Kiwanians this week are staging their 21st annual circus in the Ypsilanti High School gymnasium. Performances will be given at 7:30 p.m. today and tmorrow. A circus wouldn't be a circus without children, and last night was no exception. Above, Susan Sienko (left), 5, is amused by Kiwanian clown, Greg Russell. Her three-year-old sister, Mary Jane, however, didn't even take time out from her bottle of pop to watch. At left, three of the Kiwanis clowns, Fred H. Weinmann, jr., (left), Russell and John Skelt (partly hidden) await their cue during the show. In the bottom picture, Skelt, dressed as a policeman, amused Mrs. Jack Coker (center), her two sons, Roger (left) and Rickie and her young brother, Robert Ashby (right).
