Trapeze Artists Perform | University of Illinois Archives
Trapeze performers leap across the gap between their bars doing full performance quality tricks at the interscholastic circus practice.
The interscholastic circus was an annual spring event where students, under the training of circus coach Carlos Wagner, trained as clowns and performers to put on a university circus show. There were awards presented to different categories focused on clownery, performance, and fraternity/sorority participation. Campus Greek life was integral to these performances every year.
