Chinese acrobats perform at LBMS


AMAZING FEATS of balance, strength and flexibility were presented to Lorna Byrne Middle School students Thursday morning, April 19 by a troupe of Chinese acrobats. One performer showed his exceptional skill by throwing heavy ceramic vases high into the air and catching them on his head, or balanced atop one of his feet. With twists and turns, a contortionist writhed and maneuvered while balancing multiple candelabrum, and a vase of flowers. The Chinese visitors also performed later that day for students of Evergreen Elementary. (Photos by Michelle Binker/‘Illinois Valley News’)
