STUDENTS CURLING In a canny move on the part of the Schreiber Curling Club some thirty-six school students are actively involved in curling, as part of their P.T. activities. The instructors, mem- bers of the club who volunteered their services include Kay Fraser, president of the women's club, D'Arcy Furlonger, Paul Gauthier and John Small, of the Holy Angel's School staff. The kids' precision in delivery may be questionable - their enthusiasm, never. Nor that of the encouragement of their instructors. For from such early enthusiasts come later members of clubs.
