A surprise birthday party was held for Mary Ann, at the home of her mother, Velma Armstrong of Orono. The party was arranged by her mother and her Orono Skating Club friends of a few years ago.

A few members of the executive and some sewing mothers were also present. Last but not least was our 'super' Arena Manager, Dane Found without, whom we never could have put on a carnival in mid-March on natural ice, sometimes on ice that had been mopped up by his hockey boys.

Moving pictures taken by an amateur photographer of action on lumpy ice or on fairly guod ice but during a miserable wind storm were shown and were a real source of merriment as the girls watched themselves trying to keep their costumes in place. Nothing phased these girls. They were a joy to work with and are still a joy because they are now fine mothers and some of them are skating mothers.
