Orphie Marcellus Amencan Squaredance, October 1990 3 •ir oday someone said to me, concern- ing a project, "When they leave us, we want people to feel good about square dancing." We know most callers feel that way about every dance they call. We feel this way about every issue of ASD. We want you to feel good about square dancing, to be proud of being a part of the dance fellowship, and to know what good things are happening in and because of the activity. We have before us an item that has been used and adapted many times and many ways. Perhaps we can apply it again to square dancing. Here goes: The Psalms tell us "the days of our years are three score and ten:' Seventy years times 365 days, plus 23.3 leap year extras, equals our scriptural allotment of What are we putting back into square 25,573.33 days.

pooks and goblins haunt us this S month, from the front cover to the BY-LINE "Rhyme Time" poem by Nessi Kopitz. Halloween is a favorite theme for dances that are full of fun. This month Al Eblen points out some"funny" facts about square dancing and Verna Owen relates the fun a group of dancers generated when they decided to border-hop. Jane Bierd describes a practical joke that backfired because the "jokee" liked it. On a more serious note, Norman Davis gives us a new dancer's feelings about classes and clubs. Mary Jenkins, along with her "BookNook" duties, has written up an award presented to Marge Richardson. Would you believe that each month space runs out before all the news is included? Watch November for reports on several square dance organizations, as well as some "Feedback" on the National Convention. Until then, Happy Haunting! 1 A to Z Engravers 66 25.

Now the echoes of cannon from stalwart stone forts has been supplanted by mere scoldings of argumentative jays. In the shadow of the Adirondack Moun- tains one can find a pocket of escape— it's the homogenization of natural en- vironment, secret trails through wilderness areas, flashing lake waters, plus small town modern comforts. In 1892 the state of New York set aside an area the size of Vermont (a combination of public and private lands) as Adirondack Park, still 900/0 forested and fresh.

by Al & Nell Eblen Pharr Texas

Funny how little a $5.00 bill will buy at the supermarket, and how much it buys at the square dance. Funny how slowly thirty minutes pass at the dentist's office, and how fast two and a half hours go by at the square dance. Funny how much it costs for a college credit, and how little it costs to learn to square dance. Funny how many people long for a friend, while others make many new friends at the square dance. Funny that you see no drinking and hear no foul language at the square dance. Funny how dear Abby thinks that everyone needs a hug now and then, and we receive many hugs and yellow rocks from dear friends at the square dance. Funny that after over forty years of square dancing we still enjoy the activity and feel better after every evening of square dancing. Funny that after all these years of dancing, we now have friends in almost every state. All of this would be funny...if...so many people were not missing out on all this wonderful fun and fellowship.

Here is the scenario, written by a member of the group: SCENES FROM THE NATIONAL CONVENTION IMO

Act I, Scene 1 You're a caller. You're waiting at the foot of the stage for your calling slot, which is in 30 seconds. You notice a dancer approaching you. "Are you a caller?" she asks. "Yes," you answer. She says, "We're a square of dancers who would like to add Arkan- sas to our Statehopper Badge. We're looking for a caller who'd be willing to go over the state line with us and call half a quick tip. It should take about 45 minutes." You ask her when they want to do it. "Now, if it's convenient for you." What else can you say but, "After I call this tip, I'm free for 45 minutes; I'll be glad to go to Arkansas with you:'

Act I, Scene 2 You're a lady solo dancer from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. You're sitting quietly, min- ding your own business, waiting for an APD workshop which begins in a few minutes. You notice a gentleman solo dancer approaching you, and he seems rather frantic. "Will you dance a tip with me before you answer I should tell you that the tip will be in Arkansas and we're leaving right now please say yes." What else can you say but "Yes?"

Act II, Scene 1 You're two couples from Garden Grove. You walk out of the Convention Center to catch a breath of air. You see dancers you know from La Mirada waiting at curbside. They ask you where you're going. You answer, "We're going where you're going." They say, "We're going to Arkansas." What else can you do but go along?

Act III You're a tourist from Wisconsin. You're filling the gas tank of your RV at a Gulf station in West Memphis, Arkansas. A caravan of cars careens around the corner and squeals to a stop. An assemblage of square dancers and their caller spill out, square up, dance, pile back into the cars, and peel out. You look at your wife; she looks at you. You both shrug your shoulders and you continue pumping gas.

THE CAST The caller: Ralph Kornegay of Wilmington, North Carolina. The female solo dancer: Gail, last name unknown, from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

October 1990 MINSTER BECOMES MINISTER

Last year, caller Fred Minster was presented with a collar of red silk, with double squares embroidered on both ends of the collar. These were in white. This was presented by Elvera Iglefritz of the Grand Squares of Midland. Vi Rit- terscamp is the President of the Valley Silver Squares of Bay City. This presentation took place at the Plus Workshop that is held weekly in Bay City. It all came about because Vi Ritterscamp in making her announcements at the Valley Silver Squares Dance, mispronounced Fred's last name as Min-is-ter, instead of saying Minster. Elvera picked up on this im- mediately and made the collar. Fred accepted this in the good faith that it was given as Elvera placing the collar around the Valley Silver Squares of Bay City' He his neck, saying, "I am now ordaining you teaches a square dance class each year, the Minister of Square Dancing."

American Squereclence, October 1990 43

by Bob Howell sasY levi

One of the great leaders at the Lloyd Shaw Foundation's dance week in Colorado this past summer taught a solo dance that I particularly enjoyed. Here is yet another routine to be danced to Rasa Time. Linda Bradford of Golden, Colorado shares this one with us. It is called... THE DUCHESS MUSIC: Use any 4/4 tune that's not too fast. I prefer something with a country western sound, as I learned the dance in a saloon in Golden, Colorado. Some suggestions are Tulsa Time by Don Williams, MCA-60201; Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler) by Alabama, RCA PB-13716; Driving My Life Away by Eddie Rabbitt, Electra, E-45110-A COUNTS: 1-4 Touch R heel out to R front, touch R foot to L foot, repeat; 5-8 Scissors (Keeping toes together, slightly raise and separate heels, bring heels together.), repeat; 9-12 Stamp forward on R foot, with L toe touch forward, to L, to side; 13-16 Repeat 9-12 beginning with L foot; 17-20 Step to R on R foot, touch L toe behind R foot, repeat with L foot to L side; 21-24 Grapevine R, beginning R foot, pivot; (Step R foot to R side, step L foot behind R, step R foot to R side [pivoting R-face 180 degrees on R foot to face opposite direction], step on L foot ready to begin dance again with R heel.)

The past month's issue advertised a release, on part of which I had recorded a new mixer Grenn has rereleased the round dance music for Bye Bye Blues. On the instruction sheet appear the cues for Ken Kernen's (CDP of Callerlab) version of Bye Bye Blues Mixer and a new dance that I have written called... SO LONG BLUES MIXER FORMATION: Circle of couples in open position, each couple facing LOD with inside hands joined, lady on the man's right. Footwork, opposite throughout, man, starts with left foot, lady starts with right foot. Instruc- tions are directed to the man. MUSIC: Grenn 15009, 14040 COUNTS: Intro: 16 beats of music. (Wait) 1-4 Each couple walks four steps forward in LOD. 5-8 Individuals in each couple bump adjacent hips together gently twice (Man's right, Ladies left. Smile at your partner while bumping). 9-16 Repeat counts 1-8 17-20 Two-step balance away from partner, then two-step balance together 21-24 Repeat counts 17-20 25-32 Individuals in each couple turn away from each other and roll back, the lady making a small right hand circle to return to place while the gent makes a larger left hand circle to join the lady behind him as new partner and start dance again.

Gil Russell of Ft. Collins, CO used a term unfamiliar to me at the Rocky Mountain YMCA Camp. Instead of saying "Traditional Squares," he referred to the dances that he was to present as Transitional Squares. Most interesting! Following is one that he termed... BACHELOR'S MILL One & three bow and swing, lead right out to the right of the ring. Circle up four and around you go. Leave the ladies where they are, gents go home alone. Forward six, back with you, forward again and do-sa-do. Ladies step ahead, gents stand still, send the head gents thru the Bachelor's Mill. 44 American Squaredance. October 1990 It's partner right, right hand around, corner lady with a left hand 'round. Right hand lady with a right hand round and corner lady with a left hand round. Head gents center, right elbow swing, twice around in the middle of the ring. Back to the opposite lady left hand around, right hand lady right hand 'round. Corner again, left hand 'round, & partner lady right hand 'round. Back to the corner, left allemande.

At the National Square Dance Convention in Memphis last June, Dave Frankenfield of Pinellas Park, Florida, was telling me about a very small class of beginning contra dancers that he had this past year. In fact, the following contra was written for that class. He named it the... CLASS OF THREE COUPLES FORMATION: Three couple set proper. MUSIC: Any 32-bar reel or jig. COUNTS: 1-8 1st couple cast down the outside while 2nd couple up the middle 9-16 1st couple back to place while 2nd couple wheel turn and back to 3rd position (3rd couple sashay into 2nd position) 17-24 1st couple down the center while 2nd couple (in 3rd position) cast up outside. 25-32 1st couple wheel turn back to place and cast while 2nd couple return to 3rd postion 33-48 1st couple with the ones above ladies chain over and back. 49-64 Same couples right and left thru and return

The striking travel outfit was designed by Millie Fleckner from the Buttons and Bows from Fremont, Ohio. Mary Beier models it in the photo. Several members have them and wear them when they go banner stealing. Some made their own and Millie made some for the women who did not sew or did not have the time. The red buttons are little red bows. The men wear black pants, white shirts and red ties. Mary also has a request: "We started a traveling banner from our club several years ago.
