      rink any child under the age  of  twelve  years,  unaccompanied  by  the
      parent,  guardian  or  other  adult  person  authorized by the parent or
      guardian of such child, at any time other than while school  classes  of
      such child are in session, but not after six o'clock in the afternoon on
      any  day  preceding  a  day  on which school classes will be in session,
      provided that on the premises of such skating  rink  a  qualified  adult
