Clubs Breaks the Ice Withr Work and Fun

THE only cold thing about Winter Club is the “ice on which its members

skate.

It’s one of the warmest, sunniest, most friendly groups in

town. Most popular — a la famille, The only seasonal thing

about it is club skating is of necessity limited to the months when folks can take to the ice in the Coliseum rink. But actually one-third of the members skate the year round. Last summer Winterites were seen on the ice from Lake Placid to Miami: A heterogeneous group some began skating at kindergarten age, others not before 40th or 50th birthdays -— all agree “it's more fun when you know how.” ” ” » ONLY MEMBERSHIP requirements are figure skates— hockey skates are taboo—and ability to “take it.” There's no cushioning of feelings any-' where. This season the club's 120 skaters are currently back on the ice six hours a week after an enforced rest due to the Hollywood Ice Revue. Even that time was used for skating plans. Arrangements were deep frozen for this weekend’s U. 8. Olympic Figure Skating team competition here. As an affiliate of ‘the U. 8. Figure Skating Association, Winter Chub is host for the Friday and Saturday trials in the Coliseum. ~ Ed = THE CLUB IS designed to help skaters of all ages and degrees of proficiency—beginners to advanced—execute the kind of figure skating they like best. Peak of achievement is skill in ice dancing. Patch practice opens the tri-

weekly sessions Wednesday and | Friday evenings and Sunday |

morning. A figure eight in varying degrees of difficulty is done on a section of the rink

marked for individual skaters. |

There are more than 60 orthodox ways of doing it. Beginners begin with simple outside or inside forward eights, “outside” and “inside” meaning outer or inner blade edge. Others practice backward eights and the more experienced, serpentines, brackets and loops.

The school figures are basis of |

all figure skating. After patch practice come dances; free skating “and atl skates, benefit neophytes.

ward Rushka lead group dance instruction. This professional couple—at the Coliseum for the past five years—both learned very early. They met on a Winnipeg rink, have instructed in Australia and Canada.

= » " A LOCAL YOUNG couple who met here on the ice are the Newton T. Todds. They spent their honeymoon at Lake Placid. Club colors have been worn in competition by a few skilled members — John Glossbrenner, now with the U, -S. Armed Forces in Korea; Miss Betsy Todd, Colorado College student, and Cynthia Hanson. Cynthia, 15-year-old Shortridge High School junior honor pupil, is the most advanced amateur here at present. Next month she will mark 10 years on the ice. Seven years ago her grandmother, Mrs. Bertha Cooper, 79, oldest member, joined the club. The Robert Springer’s son, Bobby, six, is the youngest. Winterites by virtue of affiljation with the USFKA may qualify as judges, as well as take tests and enter competition. Dr. and Mrs. Philip Kurtz, Mrs. N. Taylor Todd and Mrs. T. Sherman McClean are intermediate school figure judges; H. Jackson Hiatt, low test school figure and bronze dance Judge. Gen. Elmer F. Straub and Thomas A, Elder founded the 10-year-old club. Charter members still active are Mr. and Mrs. N. Taylor Todd, Mrs. McClean, Miss Virginia Fort, E.
