1937 Canaras

The Saranac Lake Skating Club was organized to help bring skating in Saranac Lake back to the national prominence it enjoyed when Mr. Lamy was in his prime. Its officers are John Norman, president; Janet Milne, vice-president; and Edna Pelkey, secretary-treasurer. Twelve members of the club composed the team representing the village during the skating season. At present, plans are under way to raise funds with which to pay the expenses of club members to the various meets next year.

In the eight meets which it attended at New burgh, Albany, Saratoga Springs, Northville, Utica, Schenectady, Lake Placid, and Fort Johnson, the team won two thousand three hundred ten points, seven point trophies, twenty-one championships, and one hundred six medals. Janet Milne won seven championships, Arthur Bulrice four, James Norman three, James Lamy two, and Rodney Hinwood, Joseph Bulrice, Irving Hunt, Harry Danforth, and Louise Hunt each one.

High scorer was Janet Milne with a total of six hundred fifty points. Following her were Louise Hunt, with three hundred twenty points; Arthur Bulrice and James Norman, with two hundred sixty, Irving Hunt, with one hundred eighty; James Lamy, with one hundred forty; Rodney Hinwood, with one hundred twenty; John Norman and Carl Johnson, with one hundred; Joseph Bulrice, with seventy; Harry Danforth, with forty; and Charles Wentworth, with twenty.
