In the first place when trying to obtain more ice time during the Christmas holidays they were refused. Not only were they refused time, they were told this arena was built for hockey--not figure skating. This is the attitude that seems to be taken against the skating club." Not only does the skating club pay the same rate as the Port Perry hockey Club, we are not given good ice, like we saw last night for Minor Hockey. After much controversy Richard & Anna were granted one hour time at 7.30 in the morning at the rate of $3. an hour. After all this they went to New- market -- performed at their first competition, brought home the cham- pionship, and the Minor Hockey As- sociation would not honour them by inviting them to skate for two min- utes at Minor hockey night. Richard is also a keen minor hockey player-- playing with the Port Perry Midgets, This lack of co-operation and poor sportsmanship is apt to send Richard and Anna to another location to con- tinue their skating career. A most disgraceful situation for the town of Port Perry. Elma R. Vernon, Pres. P. P. Skating Club Hilliop Herald The gym was decorated to the theme of "The North Pole" last Friday night for our "At Home". The colour scheme was blue and white. This gave the winter scene an icy, cold, effect but yet very pleasant. Silvery blue icicles hung from the ceiling and in the centre of the floor was an Eskimo scene. A huge igloo adorned the centre. Soft snow sur- rounded the igloo and a polar bea: 'Skaters Win Cent. Ont. Novice Pairs Champion hungrily looked to be sneaking up | on the native Eskimo. | The Eskimo's kiak lay close by for ' his escape into the icy waters Al- though only a small portion of water was visible it gave the impression of immense water. The judges certainly had a difficult task Friday night in picking the Queen and her Princess. After soma | time of inspection they made their | Choice. Miss Bonnie Eden was chosen Queen, her escort being Mr. Jim Bal- lingall. Bonnie was most beautiful) indeed in her pale pink, strapless | dress. It may be mentioned here that ; Bonnie was also chosen princess in' 1961. The Princess was Miss Louise Moore, her escort being Mr. Georgaq Bright. Louise is a grade nine stu- | dent,, both charming, sweet, and very | deserving of her title. ' Pretty Sharon Beare, our last year's Queen, crowned Bonnie and presented her with red roses. Charming Patsy | Holtby, our last year's Princess, pre. sented the red roses to Louise. The Students' Council wishes to thank all those who gave them sup- port and help they needed to maka our "At Home" the success-it was. The Thursday before, we played Basketball against Sutton. The girls visited Sutton and the boys entertain- ed in Port. Both girl's teams were defeated but the Sr. Boys won over | Sutton Sr., and our Jr. Boys defeated | their opponents, This Tuesday we play Sutton again, Let's hope we come out a four star victory. A Bulletin was broadcast by the OPP at Toronto and the car was recoverd in good order by the Toronto Police Department on January 27th. A number of articles found in the car.are believed to have been stolen, It is thought that the car has been used by person or persons engaged in breaking and entering throughout the county. + 2 0» UNEXPECTED HOLIDAY Furnace fumes gave the High School students a holiday last Thurs- day.
