see their emotion for the
music and emotion for
one another. Any per-
formance lacking that is
blase.

“So much depends on
your temperament and
personality. Those things
will always determine t
progress you make more
than technical or athletic
ability. I’ve seen skaters
of average athletic ability
become great because of
their personalities.”

That extra something is
slowly being built by
Maureen and Scott.

Maureen started
skating seriously when
she was 10 in her native
Manitoba. Since then she
has lived away from

home in Vancouver and -

now is g with
Scott’s relatives in his
home town, St. Marys.

Scott began — figure
skating at about the same
age to improve his
hockey. As he improved,
he had to choose between

the two.
He calls this “our
make-it or break-it
ear.”

“We have to make a
good showing nationally
in the novice pairs
(division) to go on.’
COMPETITIONIS
TIGHT ,

Competition in figure
skating is extremely
tight. In 1959, there were
132 figure-skating clubs
in Canada. Today there
are 1,091. Scott and
Maureen are two of about
150,000 figure skaters in
the country. The Ca-
nadian championships in
Victoria are confined
almost exclusively to
teen-agers. All four
