Flying High Circus Program, 1953 CAMPBELL STADIUM Florida State University April 31-May 1-2 8:00 P. M. To all who appreciate the work of young people at their best, we pre~ent the 1953 edition of the Florida State University's Circus, " Flying High." The circus is much more than an entertainment. Those who make up its numerous cast of per­ formers fi nd in it a satisfying means of healthful recreation and physical development. Team wark on the part of everyone connected with the Circus is of the utmost importance. Everyone must do his particular part with promptness and precision. Such team work has developed 0 wanderful spirit throughout the whole organization. "Flying High" is strictly a student production. Routines of performance, scripts for each presentation, castumes worn by performers, musical adaptations- all are the work of the students under the devoted leadership of " Mr. Flying High," Coach lack Haskins. -fHE JDUnnnt \ , THE BOYS BEHIND THE SCENES .. In the white coveralls who move with precision in the dark, dropping 0 piece of rig­ ging here or striking an act there, are really the boys who keep the show rolling.

It is education and rec­ reation. It is public speaking and public relations. It is en­ ( , tertainment and business. It is a means by which young men and young women working to­ gether under fine leadership gain a new respect for one another. ... _- ........ ,,. 1.

All normal human beings need to do some­ thing so weil that their superior achievement will bring them recognition. People need to feel worthy of the admiration of others. The extent to which a person has never risen above the level of mediocrity in anything is a measure of human frustration. The circus gives hundreds of students an opportunity to attain excellence in activities enjoyed and applauded by thousands. The effect upon the developing personalities of the student-per­ former is of great significance. Not only are their lives richer as a result of the circus, but the lives of the spectators are also enriched. John Mabee, Betty Ann Roberts, and George Bowers are AERIAL­ ISTS-EXTRAORDINARY.

  • The Flying La Vans
    “The Flying La Vans,” were first known by the name the “La Van Brothers” or the “Brothers La Van.” They were the first of many Bloomington born-and-bred aerial acts that formed during the ‘Golden Age’ of the circus in the U.S. in the late 1800s and continued to perform into the early twentieth century. Originally, the troupe was organized by brothers Fred and Howard Green (Greene) in 1877. Later the group include the younger brother Harry following Howard’s retirement. The La Van act, in all of its incarnations, commands a pivotal place in the history of the practice and development of the art of trapeze in the United States. FRED GREEN (1858-1897), son of John Lester Green and Harriet A. (Van Alstine) Green, was born in Bloomington, IL on March 2, 1858. Fred was one of seven children (the oldest of four sons). Like his younger brothers, Fred had a “penchant for athletics” as a child that continued to thrive in his teen years and beyond.1 Fred and his younger brother Howard (1867-1952) chose to dedicate this prowess to the study of the trapeze.2 Despite their father’s known disfavor and desire that his sons would continue the family confectionary business, Fred and Howard formed the “La Van Brothers” around 1878.”3 It is difficult to determine the exact nature of the brothers’ aerial act or exactly when the brothers first performed. For example, contrary to select sources local historian and circus enthusiast Steve Gossard proposes that the original La Van Brothers act was first a stationary bar act and not a trapeze act.4 Similarly, though some sources claim that the La Vans were the first to 1 “Fred Green is Dead; Famous Bloomington Athlete Expires in the Prime of Life,” The Pantagraph (June 15, 1897).
