The caller arrives Moving hurriedly to the front of the hall Where the music starts. First softly as a whisper, Then slowly louder, • As the shuffle of twinkling feet And the clapping of hands Beat out a tattoo of urgency

"Square 'em up" And the dancers move into their chosen places. The dance is on. With smiles lighting the room Laughter bubbling from within Hands firmly, but gently, gripped in friendship They move through their lines, circles and stars, Each figure flowing to another Creating an everchanging mirage of color. The music stops The pattern changes. They join other friends and start anew.

The music slowly fades . They drift out slowly . As if to hold on to the last moment The caller leaves.

The hall is silent now, Only the faint echoes of dances past Share the gloom. The lights dim, guided by unseen hands Many times I have been the first and Footsteps echo in the hall last person to enter and leave a square Heard only by the walls. dance.

Most of these systems cost from 200 to 500 dollars and are capable of good fidelity sound. In 7 general, callers are quite familiar with how to place the speakers, hold the mike and adjust the controls for best sound. Still, how many of us have been to a dance where a very popular but not too new, tune is hardly recognizable over the scratching and scraping. There can be several reasons for this, a worn record, a dirty record, or a bad needle. Usually though, it is a combination of all of these. Modern 45 RPM records are made of a rather soft plastic and have very fine grooves. The needle must fit and track this groove properly. Any dirt or scratch in this groove will cause unwanted noise in the speakers. Here are some tips on record care: Never touch the record grooves. Handle the record by the edge or the center. Lower the tone arm to the record 410 carefully. Don't stack or lay unprotected records on the table. When the records are not on the turntable put them in their envelopes. Store records in a verticle position to prevent warping. Excessive heat will also warp records. Be especially careful of keeping records in your car on a hot sunny day. Keep them in the passenger area while driving and remove them from the car as soon as you arrive at your destination.
