She's the Statue of Liberty. She stands a proud 300 feet in the air ... on Liberty Island in New York Harbor. She has been the first thrilling sight of free- dom for millions of new citizens as they reached the United States. The Statue of Liberty is one of the wonders of the modern world. She weighs 225 tons, and has a 35-foot waist. Her right arm is 42 feet long . and her index finger measures eight feet. Her head is 10 feet wide, her nose is 4'/ feet long ... and each of her eyes is 2% feet wide. She is so constructed that she sways gently with the breeze, and is built so strong she can withstand a 150-mile-an-hour gale. The Statue of Liberty is a gift to the Amer- ican people—from France. Thousands of Frenchmen contributed to the fund to build the Statue of Liberty and send it to the United States. The statue was designed by French sculptor Fredric Auguste Bathholdi. The iron framework for the Statue of Liberty was planned and built by Gustave Eiffel, the man who later built the famed Eiffel Tower in Paris. The Statue was built in France, and shipped to the United States in 214 huge crates. Money was raised by public subscription in the United States for the base of the Statue of Liberty. It was officially dedicated in 1886 ... Millions of people from all over the world have visited the Statue of Liberty—America's favorite leading lady . And symbol of freedom to the entire world. 2 American Squaredance, January 1992 AMERICAN (7) VOLUME 47, No 1 SQURRE DRNCE JANUARY 1992 THE INTERNATIONAL MAGAZINE WITH THE SWINGING LINES THE ASD LINE-UP SQUARE DANCE SCENE 4 Editor's Notebook 48 PvIC 'Lines (Advanced Challenge) 5 By-Line 50 International News 7 On Line 52 Date Line 8 Meandering with Stan 81 What's Going on In Square 15 A Little Bit of History Dancing 19 The Elivira 25 Encore 27 Sound Enhancement Equip. 28 Rhyme Time ROUNDS 31 Dancing Tips 55 Facing the L.O.D. 33 American SD in Europe 58 Cue Tips 41 People in the News 59 Flip Side/Rounds 53 Bread Line 67 R/D Pulse Poll 54 Party Line 68 Hem Line 71 Product Line 72 Puzzle Page FOR CALLERS 78 Puzzle Answers 39 Calling Tips 87 Do-Ci-Do Dolores 56 Caller Outline 88 Finish Line 60 Flip Side/Squares 90 Laugh Line 62 Colleges are Coming 64 Easy Level Page 66 SID Pulse Poll OUR READERS SPEAK 76 Creative Choreography 79 PS/MS/QS 6 Grand Zip 84 Underlining the Note Services 11 Feed Back 29 Line of Fire Publishers and Editors Editors) Assistants Jon & Susan Sanborn Stan & Cathie Burdick Member of NASRDS Jeanne Briscoe National Association of S& R/D Suppliers Workshop Editors American Squaredance Magazine (ISSN-091- Bob Howell Wall Cole Ed Fraldenburg 3383) is published monthly by Sanborn Feature Writers Enterprise 661 Middlefield Rd., Salinas, CA 93906-1004.

I left for Ohio on November 20 to meet with Stan and Cathie and to familiarize myself with the operation of ASD. Thursday and part of Friday morning was spent getting the magazine ready for mailing. I got the job of rubber banding the bundles, there's a lot of them, and also received the sore thumb award. Friday afternoon was spent loading the truck for the trip home to California Hopefully there is something of interest and meeting with the attorneys. Needless for all readers including the proof readers to say everyone was kept quite busy. as I'm sure there are some errors in text and Thursday evening was a treat as the Bur- ads. Forgive me if there are. I want to espe- dicks and myself went to an enjoyable play cially thank Jeanne Briscoe who has spent entitled June Bride. It was a good comic endless hours typing and giving me moral relief. Saturday morning, up early and on support. For without her we wouldn't have my way. Four and one half days later I was made it! And to my wife, Susan, who has in California and home. Then the work given of her time, talents, and under- really started - unloading the truck, setting standing. up the office, and the beginning of typing Yes, It's a New Beginning.

III BY-LINE The picture was taken when Jesica was the I, tender age of 11 months. She is now 10 years old. We felt that the picture was fitting for a New Beginning. Ed Butenhof describes his calling experience in Western Europe, calling 23 dances in four countries in six weeks. That's a busy schedule. Jack Murtha and Wade Drive combined efforts on an article about sound equipment for the hard of hearing. An idea that more clubs and callers should consider. Cathy Villa contributed a whimsical, but true, tale about The Elvira. Al Maertz authored the limericks that are spattered throughout this issue (send more Al). And finally A Little Bit of History by NiNi Harris. But let us not forget Stan with his Meanderings (he does get around, maybe even to California sometime).
