If you're an ice skating enthusiast, you can go to one of the city's rinks and use your blades in the conventional way, as these youngsters are doing at West Park.

Still another diversion calls for four good-sized boys and one small sled. It's rough on the boy on the bottom, and it's a good bet none will be aboard at the finish.

This mixture of skaters and a sled looks something like a conga line, but actually it's only a group of Ann Arbor youngsters having fun on the ice. Consistent cold weather has made skating exceptionally good this winter.

"Cracking the whip" is a favorite game on the ice. A long line of skaters forms and gathers speed, then the leaders veer sharply, swinging the tail-enders around. If you're near the end of the line, it's quite a trick to stay afoot.

Yielding To Park. This tree-shrouded house on the corner of Wayne and Vinewood will be torn down soon to make room for "Postman's Stop" park, recently deeded to the city by Mrs. Harry A. Towsley. The house was occupied by Mrs. Anne Mueller until about two years ago. She died last year. Mrs. Mueller, a 1903 graduate of the University, called her home "the rough box" and took great pleasure in the wildflower garden surrounding it. In her later years, Mrs. Mueller was cared for by neighbors, particularly Mrs. Towsley, and received short daily visits from city postmen who took a personal interest in her welfare. The City Council received the deed to the property Monday.
