Club History The Caltech Juggling Club became an officially recognized and ASCIT sponsered club in 1999. Non-ascit-sanctioned juggling groups, however, have existed at Caltech for many years. Before 1998, the club consisted primarily of graduate students and post-docs who met on the west lawn of Church Laboratory of Chemical Biology, on the SE corner of Wilson and San Pasqual street. This is still how the Caltech club is listed at the JIS. Most of those people have since left Caltech, and the remaining undergraduate students thus decided to move the club meetings closer to the undergrad residences. Before 1994 or so, there appears to have been little organized structure for a juggling club. While the history is hard to trace, Bruce Tiemann (aka Boppo), class of `87, says that he used to juggle on the Ath lawn, sometimes with Bill Banks (`87, Ricketts), Bengt Magnusson (`88, Blacker), and Earl (Warren?). Boppo (seen at right, from the 1987 yearbook) is probably best known for having invented siteswaps, a mathematical notation to describe juggling patterns. By juggling on the Ath lawn, he also managed to get into the background of such movies as Beverly Hills Cop II and Real Genius, both of which filmed here at Caltech. If you have any information about past jugglers from Caltech, please let us know. Richard Feynman juggling at the beach, circa 1950.
