Bobby Yerkes, catcher, Dorothy Yerkes, Rosie Alexander, and Fay Alexander. If that band-aid on Fay's shoulder is what I think it is, it dates this shot as 1957. The Ringling show went to Mexico after the stateside season, and everyone had to get specific vaccinations that caused great welts to form. The first covers were half-bubble plastic tops that were taped over the injection site to protect the reaction. It was a lengthy time before this subsided, and dealing with it proved an ordeal.
