Water Ski Troupe
Is Crowd Pleaser
At Lake Festival
Featured attraction of the
famous "Suds and Sun Festival"
at Soap Lake, Wn., water show
on Saturday was the perfor
mance of the Increasingly pop
ular water ski show group from
lone, Hermlston and Richland,
operating under the name, "Cir
cle E Trampoline and Ski Club."
This group, whose popularity
Is Influenced to no little degree
by the youth of the performers,
Is probably the only show group
now operating who refuses to
do the "nothing acts" such as
banner carrying, etc., and who
are willing to insert into the
show contract that if they fall
to take a scheduled and diffi
cult act past the crowd without
falling, a deduction Is made
from the original contract on a
pro rated basis.
Many tourists who made up
the auitlence of the Suds and
Sun show and had seen many
of the nation s top water ski
shows, insisted that this show
topped them all. One elderly
gentleman Invited the group to
view his movies of the Cypress
Gardens Show which he had ta
ken recently, showing the sin
cerity of his evaluation of the
two show.4.
A better than usual perfor
mance was given by the 'never
fail" boys, Tom Helmblgner,
Joe, Mark and Frank Halvorsen,
Fred llinkle, Gary Heimbigner;
pretty little girls, the oldest Just
turned 18 Vicky and Bev Hin
kle, Kathy Watt, and Robin
Clark. Thif newly added Jackie
and Joyce Howton gave an es
pecially good performance.
Sudsy and slick water of Soap
Lake added to the extreme dif
ficulty of the pyramids. Handles,
shoulders, or anything wet with
the oil-like water provided a
handicap, however the flawless
performances pleased the prin
cipally tourist crowd.
