'''The evening session covered the motion picture activities of such outstanding jugglers as Lew Folds, Truzzi, Boy Foy, Bob Dupont, Bobby May and the Barnards, and the films taken at the Pittsburgh get-together in 1947.

"At the business meeting Tuesday morning the constitution and by-laws were amended and adopted, letters and telegrams from absent members were read, memorial service held for jugglers having passed on and new officers elected. The new officers include Art Jennings, president, Vin Carey, vice president; Violet Carlson, secretary-treasurer; George DeMott, chaplain; Jack Greene and Harry Lind, directors.

"We'd heard a lot about the toastmastership of Joe Fleckenstein and at the banquet that night some 52 jugglers and their ladies were entertained by his wit and humor.   During his more serious moments, Joe introduced chairman Crosby, the new and retiring officers, Mayor Stroth of Jamestown, and Harry Lind. The ovation given Harry and his expression of gratitude will never be forgotten by those attending.

"Autographing of the guest book and the giant club as welI as the group pictures filled the early evening. And then as if prearranged by the fates, who should stop in but  Eddie Tierney. Having driven some 300 miles from Canada and having to be in BaItimore the next day didn't stop this great juggler from giving us a demonstration of four and five club work done with the ease and grace never before witnessed by   most of us.

"Eddie gave a repeat performance for the photographers and included some of the finest precision club passing with AI and Buster Barnard ever viewed. We interviewed Roy Henderson, who held the cigar his mouth while Tierney and Barnard flipped the ashes off with flying clubs, and he said. 'Sure is hard on a good cigar.'

"After such a strenuous night things didn't get under fulI swing till late the next morning with more pictures taken, hospital shows given and preparations made for 'The Big Toss Up,' the public headliner show. George Barvin certainly did a marvelous job of lining up talent and the small but appreciative audience expressed their approval of each act in the fast-moving, well-balanced show.

"Vin Carey M.C.'d and as he had previously promised, there were no stage waits. Everything clicked like a big-time production. There was James Murphy and his gravity-defying slack wire presentation and Vin Carey with a spot of magic climaxed by a superb linking ring routine. Harry Lind and Jack Greene represented the old timers with their club passing. Lloyd Morgan did his fascinating gyrations on the high and low unicycles. Lou Meyer presented a, combination of comic situa­tions and juggling. George DeMott, a versatile juggler, checked with all the other artists and still presented something different. George Lerch presented unsupported ladder, stilt walking, rope spinning and juggling all done on a portable slack wire rigging, and finished strong with the hand stand on the slack wire.

As if to bring this show to its apex, Bobby Jule presented his flawless juggling technique in the routine that has made him one of the nation's top jugglers. Such smoothness and timing! Vin Carey called all jugglers in the house to the stage and the air was filled with flying objects as the curtain closed on a great show.

"All jugglers were invited to Bill Dunham's cottage on the shores of Lake Chit and after coffee and sandwiches and more juggling the convention came to a reluctant close."
