“HOLIDAY ON ICE” AT
ARENA MARCH 5, 6
The Wingham Figure Skating Club’s
third annual carnival, “Holiday On
Ice” will be presented on Friday and
Saturday, March 5th and 6th at 8 p.m.
With a Saturday matinee commencing
at 2 p.m.
The Wingham skaters this year will
make up the greater part of the show
with only a few members being im
ported from the Stratford Figure
Skating Club.
Ross Smith, club professional of
both the Wingham and Stratford clubs
reports that great advancement has
been made by the Wingham skaters
this season, as evidenced by the large
number of successful tests passed by
club members.
Carnival rehearsals are progressing
favorably and the following skaters
are being featured in the show:
Marykae Newman as ballerina ift
the junior ballet; Irene Saint and
Harold Brooks in a smooth dance
pair; Sharon Thompson, Sandra
Strong, John Wild and jack Alexan
der in a dashing mixed four routine;
Ruth Fry in a solo offering; ‘Penny
Gorrie and Jean Gurney in a novel
rhythmic pair. All club members are
participating in the show and along
with the Stratford skaters, the total
cast will number nearly 100. A stage
setting and spotlights will be install
ed in the rink and this will add to
the carnival atmosphere of the pro
duction.
The tickets at 75c (childrne 25c) are
being sold by the club members and
the public is advised to purchase
tickets early for the performance they
wish to attend. Last year’s carnival

people were turned away due to lack
of seating accommodation.
