Erickson, whose ability has been gained through his own skating
interest end years of ex: e-ience under competent instruction,
is acting as instructor. Advanced skaters will receive instruc
tions directly from Ralph. Theipresent turnout for intermediate
and beginning skaters necessitates the use of advanced skaters
as tlie:r instructors. Ralph, however, will he overseeing all
instruction. On Tuesday a charge of 25 cents will be made for
instruction, plus the regular skatmg charge for the use of the
floor and skates. These classes are primarily for those who are

The people of Seward have long
expressed their desire for some
form of recreation for the yOunger I
generation and when the former j
USO was purchased from the ]
Army by the city, a way was
opened for the fulfillment of this
desire. Thus the Seward Athletic
Association was formed in the
month of January, 1949.
i The sole purpose of this organi
zation was to provide for the man
j agement of the USO building, now
j the Seward Civic Center, in such a :
manner as to benefit the majority
j of the residents of the City of Sew
I aid, to provide a centrally-located
| place of recreation for both chil- i
I dren and adults and to attempt
j to relieve the taxpayers of Seward i
of the financial burden which was '
and is necessary to maintain the !
building. The Seward Athletic As
j sociation, comprised of various j
local organizations, have selected
representatives who in turn make
up the Seward Civic Center com- j
mittee. This committee at their
j first meeting elected the following
, as their officers:
; Firemen representative. Van C.
Nyman, president; Elks Club, Art
McKeough, vice-president; P-TA.
Bea Davis, secretary; W.S.C.S., ,
Vera Bogard. treasurer.
The activities committee with
| Peggy Beissner as chairman is re- !
sponsible for the daily schedule
which will be published once a j
month or as often as necessary. •
The finance committee, Vera Bo- j
gard, chairman, is very much oc
cupied in attempting the operation
> of the roller skating and other ;
J activities at the lowest prices pos
j sible. Mr. Harold Maxwell was !
. employed by the committee at the j
| beginning of the project and has ;
i proven himself equal to the gigan- j
, tic task of coping with 60 to 801
| youngsters at one time. One of!
j the first arts of the committee was
, to order 100 pair of small skates ’
I to supplement the larger skates I
| turned over to the Seward Athletic
Association by the Lions Club.
There are tickets on sale now
that entitle children to skate at a j
cost of 11 cents for each 2 to 4 hour
session provided the skaters use
their own skates, or 22 cents for
the same period if the Civic Cen
ter skates are used. These tickets
are $4.00 for children up to and
: including the age of 11
years.
Adult tickets are $5.00 which is
equivalent to 14 or 28 cents a ses
sion, depending upon the skates
furnished. Adults may also skate
for 50 cents a session if a ticket
is not desired. This is less than Vi
of the cost of skating at other !
places in the Territory or the \
States.
Organizations desiring the use of '
’ the Seward Civic Center for skat- J
| ing parties or for any other acti- [
j vity are requested to get in touch
! with Harold Maxwell at as early a
: date as possible in order that the
1 time desired may be worked into j
the future schedule. Skating par- i
ties from 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 mid- i
night may be very easily arranged '■
on short notice.
