'Warden Elected | sition of Warden has alternated: Young Skaters Place Second In Championship Port Perry can well be proud of the skill and showmanship presented by Anna and Richard at the Central Ontario Sectional Championships, Stepping from Novice to Senior in one year, and still placing very close to the winners Susan and Paull Huchnergard of the Upper Can- ada Skating Club, Anna and Richard are certainly to be con- gratulated. The crowd of around 600 voiced their admira- tion and approval by a"tremen- dous applause as they concluded their number, by far the great- est ovation of the night. The future looks exceedingly good for this pair. It is thought if their progress con- tinues, they could be making a strong bid for the Ol iinins of 1968. ts Congratulutions to Ania and Richard, and to the club pro, Mr. John Wild who spent many extra hours training and re- hearsing.
