He paints his face red and white, wears size 26 shoes, carries a big toy goose, rides an elephant, gets water thrown in his face, bounces on a trampoline and changes clothes 33 times every Saturday, but outside o f that he’ s just like you or me. Oh yes! There’ s one other difference.

No fewer than 98 percent o f the clowns in Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey s two traveling circuses are graduates o f an unusual little coed college in Venice, Florida. The curriculum includes acrobatics, juggling, slapstick, pratfalls, stiltwalking, trampoline, unicycling and arena choreography, tudents can improve their grades by hitting the teacher in the face with a pie. No, it’s not Florida State. I t ’s Clown College — possibly the happiest institution o f higher learning in the world! All kinds o f people become clowns. The face-painting profession has attracted nurses, nannies, painters, plumbers, trial lawyers and taxider mists. Contrary to old stereotypes, Circus clowns are usually very happy men and women who have a lot o f fun outside the arena. Tammy Parish, veteran emale funster, says, “ Clown Alley is the scene o f an unending ^eriC?,<^,Pract'Ca* jokes, including shaving cream in shoes, and pinned pants egs. )ne joker recently put a big slab o f limburger cheese in the clown car and almost drove his fellow funnypersons frantic. Still in all, it’ s a wonderful life. Wayne Sidley. a seven-year veteran o f Clown Alley, says, “ Nothing can compare with the personal satisfaction that comes from the laughter and applause. I can have a bad headache or be in a grumpy mood, but as soon as I get into the arena, I honestly feel better, and when my routine is over and I come o ff the hippodrome track, I really feelgood.
