Tigers take first contest. in opening playoff round Page 6 Times-Advocate, Febrvary 20, 1969 Saturday night of this week, the Exeter Figure Skating Club will be presenting their annual carni41 at the arena with a variety of acts aimed at pleasing all in. attendance, regardless of age. This year's presentation is entitled "Spring Time `69" and is expected to be one of the best shows the club has ever produced. With the extended cold weather we have suffered through this year, we're sure the spectators will be put in a kindly frame of mind by the many signs ()I' spring that will be portrayed by the youngsters. Some of the acts called, "Blue Skies", "Spring Bouquet", Butterflies" and "Fluffy White Clouds" should give everyone in attendance a little glimpse of better weather ahead. A highlight of the show will he the appearance of a novice dance pairs team from St. Thomas, Judy Carrah and Keith Caugheil with their championship routine. While we have not been able to get official confirmation from club officials, we wouldn't be surprised if one of the stars of last year's show comes out of retirement and shows his prowess on the ice. "Wiggily Wally", a 30-foot combination of caterpillar and worm made his debut at the 1968 event and has been hibernating ever since in a local basement. As is the case in most ventures of this nature, a lot of work behind the scenes is necessary before the finished product is ready to roll before a live audience. Preparation for the annual ice show began many months ago and has involved many members of the local figure skating executive. The Exeter club's professional instructress, Mrs. Faye McDonald, in her ninth season at the helm of the club is mainly responsible for the presentation. She selects the numbers to be shown in addition to the actual instruction of the youngsters in their intricate skating manoeuvres. Mrs. McDonald spends a lot of her off-season time in choosing and taping the excellent background music that is used and is very essential to a successful show, Much of the music has been taped from church services throughout the district. She also handles all the choreography in connection with the carnival. The last week before the carnival is the most hectic for everyone involved. In addition to decorating the arena and installing props and spotlights, costumes are fitted and this sometimes poses quite a problem. Monday afternoon was try-on time at the arena when costumes, which are mostly rented from other clubs in Ontario were fitted and a lot of juggling was necessary to find the right size of garment for each individual. We had a sneak preview of some of the costumes and all we can say is "they're mighty colorful." The local skatingclub pays anywhere from one to three dollars for the rental of the costumes for one week. In turn, the skaters pay for the rental of their own finery that you will see them in Saturday night. The flat rate to the boys and girls is $1.50. While most of the costumes are rented, all local skaters appearing in solo or duet numbers supply their own. In order to keep expenses down to a minimum, executive members do all the work they possibly can. The program listing all of the numbers is laid out and printed by the volunteer group. While the skating members of the club pay a goodly sum of money in registrations, success of the club's year depends on the support received from the general public at the annual carnival. Every year, the quantity and quality of the skaters has been on the increase, so we're sure anyone attending the upcoming ice show will be assured of a good night's entertainment. With the emphasis on "Springtime '69," the weatherman should co-operate and provide warmer weather than the last couple of years. Interesting Golf Show Saturday's "Shell's Wonderful World of Golf" television show will have more than a little interest locally. The show that will be seen on the Canadian Broadcasting network and across the United States by way of NBC originates from the London Hunt and Country Club. Contestants in the match, a semi-final in the $164,000 international elimination tournament are Ben Arda of the Phillipines, Dan Sikes of the United States and Roberto DeVicenzo of Argentina. DeVicenzo, winner of more than 130 international championships and who has probably played more great courses around the world than any other professional, is high in his praise of the London course. He feels the long, demanding layout compares favourably with the best courses he has played, and once tree growth is more advanced, he would even include the famed Augusta Masters course. Winner of the match in London, which was filmed last summer, advances to the final championship match in Chicago to play Frank Beard, winner of last week's other semi-final.
