American Squaredance, May 1987 verytime we hear of theories and E predictions, we have a tendency to cn thITI111111 apply the information to square dancing. We've been involved in an adult discus- sion on coping with technological pro- cesses and progress wisely. One of the sessions focused on the fact that Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest in nature has for many years been accepted as an absolute. The proposal of an alternate theory, called the Gaia theory after the Greek earth goddess, is made in the study guide—one in which every species in nature is interdependent. Each group is necessary for the well-being of the en- tire ecosphere.

One re- port not published is that on the special New Year's Eve theme to conclude the Spirit of '86 celebration. Those articles and others will be caught up on in the June issue. Keep the cards and letters coming, and we'll include everything possible. Evelyn Borden wrote to tell us that, long after she submitted the article to us, Lee Schmidt and Marilyn Hansen were married in Banff last January, we presume while there for the super Banff square dancing holidays set up by Tortuga Express Tours. Best wishes tr.; Lee and Marilyn! While Jo Jan Nunley is writing about a state convention, her reasons for attending one can be applied to the national events, too. Great fun and excitement for all! Our other authors are Millard and June McKinney with their series on round dan- cing. This month we found a picture to use, to acquaint us with these "regulars." May your May be filled with good dancing-Maypole or otherwise!

14 American Squaredance, May 1987 LEE SCHMIDT Southern California's Crawdad Man by Evelyn Borden Woodland Hills, California

Lee Schmidt, affectionally called the "Crawdad Man" by his many fans, is one of Southern California's classiest callers. He is a real showman, and he dresses the part, with an illuminated "15-gallon" hat (the lights actually flash), corpulent tur- quoise jewelry, and a silver belt buckle the size of a U.S. road map. With some variations, that's his basic attire for a regular dance. When Lee calls a theme dance, he chooses his costume from a wardrobe of nearly 30 colorful out- fits, many of which he designed himself. For example, he used the Las Vegas Thunderbird hotel logo as the idea for one ensemble. For the Jubileers Mexican Fiesta anniversary dance, the Crawdad past midnight.

True to the traditions of California, the youth hall (called the teen hall back then) was an TEEN open hall: anyone who could keep up with the kids could dance. The hall ran smoothly, with no complaints. Very few clubs hold closed dances in California anymore.

Thirty Australian square dancers, led by Brian and Wendy Hotchkies of the B Bar H Club, toured New Zealand by coach recently. They danced in Christchurch after arrival, and received a haremai (Maori welcome) from caller Art Shepherd and his friends. The snow-capped peaks en route to Mt. Cook, the highest N.Z. mountain, were for some the first time they had ever seen snow, and later the group found themselves in a snow shower. Dancing was enjoyed again in Dunedin with Alan Mur- phy and Allan Hurndell and the Wagon Wheelers, the Invercargill Penguin Pro- menaders and others from Gore. Impromptu dancing was also enjoyed at motels. The Beehive Squares in Wellington treated the group to a smorgasbord-type dinner and a dance with Cathy Rodgers, Alan and Lyn Prentis, and Brian. Sulphur City Squares and other dancers from as far away as Tauranga hosted the tour group another even- ing, with 12 squares kept moving by Jack Hilton and Terry Caveney. The final dance was with the Auckland S/D Club with David Cormie, Russ Miller, Brian, presided over by Bruce Lovett. Members of the tour group agreed on the wonderful sights seen and experiences enjoyed, and recommend square dance tours to all! S. Bennett

Use 15-20 ordinary objects with humorous labels: string, for the man who's always tied up at work; a diamond pin for an engagement (a dime 'n pin in a box); light bulb, for a bright young man or woman; toilet tissue, for those who want to unwind on vacation; candy, for someone who likes the sweet things of life; scissors, for the "cut-up" in the crowd. The auctioneer tells what it's for but not what the object is, and takes bids (in pen- nies). The fun is in the unwrapping and sharing. Try it!

Many dancers and callers have done Manning's Mixer, written by Manning Smith of College Station, Texas, several years ago. I conjured up a little circle mixer with a bit of handclapping and set it to the same music on the same 'mulct Being released tnis month on Grenn 15011 is a reprint of Manning's Mixer and one to the tune In the Good Old Summertime that I call...

Al Scheer of Littleton, Colorado. has shared two "quick-teach" routines with me. I have used both quite suc- cessfully.
