Ice Skating Coach Starts New Season

World famous figure skating coach, Mrs. Mirabel Vincent Owen, will be back in Watson Rink next month for ten weeks of lessons for University and Radcliffe students.

Mrs. Owen, who coached Olympic champion Tenley Albright, said that she expected an increased enrollment for her lessons because of "a boom in figure skating interest provided by Tenley's showing in the Olympics and her appearance on television last winter."

Over 160 students turned out for two sessions of lessons in the first and second semesters last year.

Mrs. Owen is currently coaching the number one skating pair in the country, her daughter, Mirabel Owen, and Chuck Foster '56.

Commenting on the revival of figure skating in this country, Mrs. Owen said that she hoped it would be bigger than the 1936 boom when she was a national champion before finishing high school.
