board meet
The 1972-73 season of the
Ogderich Figure Skating Club
got underway September 17
with the first meeting- of the
Board of Directors headed by
president Grant Ellison.
.Once again this year, the club
professionals will . be Mr. and
Mrs. Bruce Brady and, Dan
Carey, who so capably instruc-
ted the members during . the
previous season.
At this meeting, a motion was
passed to appoint Douglas
Williams as auditor.
It should be noted that this
year, the Canadian figure
Skating 'Association requires all
club members to be registered
with them at the cost of one
dollar. phi 's included in
the r istration fee
matter of inte st, the in-
crease in membership ees this
year is the first increas in 'over
ten years. At that tim lessons
extended over a three-hour
period weekly and the total
professional fees for the season
'amounted to. $300.
In the 1971-72 season club
members had eight hours of
pr"ofessional time weekly and'
the three professionals were
paid a total of $4000.
Over this extended period,
also, the calibre of ,skating has
tremendously increased as was-
shown
as-shown this summer when Pam
Craven and Rusty Orma.ndy
won the Junior Section of the
Stamford International Dance
Competition held in Niagara
Falls. '
Private lesson fee schedules
are as follows: $20 for the three-
hdur session Tuesday evening
from 8:00 to 11:00; and $13 for
the Monday .morning session
from '7:00 to 8:30.
A $10 fee has been set for the
practice ice Wednesday evening
from 6:45 to 8:00. The Board
also agreed that the Saturday
coaches will be allowed ice -time
Wednesday evening from 6:45, to
8:00.

Team in the Canadian half of the In-

nalists were quick to point out that the
game of. ice hockey naw belonged to the

OUR, national game, We developed it and
nobody, but NOBODY is going to take it
away from us.
Just because -the Russians may defeat
us in the current sties does not
automatically' turn part orour culture and
tradition over to them. We maintain that
we have the best hockey players in the
world. (The only way that we would ever
-lose the sport is if Clarence 'Campbell
