BELLBOY SKATES: All sorts of costumes are to be found at Petoskey's snow bowl, where figure skating, an exciting but pleasurable sport, has done much to keep skating one of the most prominent and popular winter sports. Even at Petoskey, however, skiing challenges skating, and the city is developing ski facilities in the surrounding countryside.

PRECISION FIGURE SKATING is one of the sports cultivated at Petoskey, which was among Michigan's pioneer cities in winter sports. Scores of children enroll in classes to learn the technique of group skating and choral work on the ice. This scene is from Petoskey's snow bowl, the in-city sports center that has facilities for skating, tobogganing, snow-skooters and, on a limited scale, skiing. Three heated buildings offer warmth and shelter to winter sports fans who want to rest a few moments.

GAIETY AND GRACE ON THE ICE: With all Lake Margrethe bordering the Grayling Winter Sports Park, most of the skating is done on a lighted, sheltered, tree-girt rink.

With slightly shaky success, a new group of Bluebirds tried its wings on ice recently. And giggles drowned out any worries of failure. Pictured from left are Nora McNamara, Leader Martha Cooper, Kris Williams, Helper Missy Babcock, and Beth Meade. (The woman in the background is not identified.) The Bluebirds, as well as their older counterparts, the Camp Fire Girls, are organizing for the first time in Ann Arbor under Mrs. Cooper's direction. Mrs. Cooper, who was a Camp Fire Girl in her youth, decided to launch the program locally because of fond memories of her Colorado girlhood in the organization. The two groups are actively seeking more recruits so they can grow, flourish and share their experiences more widely. Of course, adult volunteer leaders are needed, too. The groups are for girls of all races, religions, national origins and economic backgrounds from the age of six through high school.
