American Squaredance, February 1984 3 "Moody Blues" may be a romantic name for a song title, but moody blues are in reality no fun at all! Everyone knows that! One of the very positive things that many new dancers say about square dancing is that gloomy and de- pressed feelings are chased away by the fun and the concentration of an evening's dancing. We live very close to Lake Erie and often note the changing moods of the seascape— serene and lovely, angry and churning. Sailing on Lake George has taught us, too, how quickly a lake's mood can change from peaceful to treacherous. Here in northern Ohio, while we dec- orate insides and outsides of homes for the holidays, we have had an excep- tionally gloomy month, weatherwise, ac- companied by the usual gripes about the "yucky" rain and mud. Just this hour. as outside circumstances influence his/her we sit at the typesetter, the sun peeked moods no matter how well this is dis- through. What a change in mood! Just guised by humor and effervescence. as John Denver sings. "Sunshine on my Although our decorations here and shoulder almost always makes me now are Christmas trees and wreaths, high!" when you read this, it will be almost time What's the point of all this talk of to hang up the lacy hearts and red Valen- moods? Just to bring it to readers' atten- tine streamers. February is a "people" tion that we don't often consider moods month, when we honor those we love as or take them seriously.

4 American Squaredance. February 1984. Three authors and two poets have bylines in this February issue, which means that more of the features were written by regular writers and by your editors. Brian Eddings authored the story on Hawaiian square dancing. while Agnes Grit. for describes a square dance house party of many years ago. A presentation for a Washington State Leadership Seminar by caller Harris Stockard is reprinted. Fre- quent contributors Mary Heisey and Ida Reilinger appear once again in "Rhyme Time." Space remains, then. io present Valentines to regular ASD writers, Harold and Lill Bausch, Mary Jenkins, Mary Fabik, Russ and Nancy Nichols, Gene and Thelma Trimmer and Beverly Warner. Faithful reviewers Frank and Phyl Lehnert and John and Gail Swindle deserve many lacy bouquets for their record reviews. Workshop writers Ed Fraidenburg, Bob Howell and Howie Shirley have provided material for hundreds of callers and many more dancers through their efforts. We call attention to a new addition to our masthead: Orphie Easson, who has agreed to serve as our Canadian representative. Orphie has staffed the ASD booth at Canadian conventions and has been featured in the Professional Profile series. She was a member of the Advisory Board of this magazine some years ago. Welcome aboard, Orphie.

14 SQUARE DANCING- HAWAIIAN STYLE

by SSgt Brian Eddings

A good old boy from a small town in Texas visited Hawaii many years ago and pondered, "This is paradise, but a little bit of country would make it heaven." So he introduced square dan- cing to Hawaii and it has remained popu- lar ever since. This may not be the true beginning of square dance in Hawaii, but, like a seed carried thousands of miles on the wind (From lett) John Bahnwey Bob D.zon and June takes root at a new home halfway Nakama dance at Ala Moana Beach Park with ma- around the earth, so has square dancing jestic Diamond Head Crater in the background.

It's open to anyone 14 years of age or older, but in order for children 14-18 to join, parents must also be members. According to club president Bahnweg, "We have many guests who come to our dances, either from here on the island or from the mainland if they happen to be here on vacation. Each Friday night we have at least six to eight squares; some nights we have many more." Not only does the club provide a place

13u American Squaredance. February 1384 LINE-- LIGHT ( • Northeastern Nebraska is the home area of two very special square dancers. Garnet Smith learned to square dance in 1918 at the age of 16. His wife Hazel learned in 1925 while the couple was courting. They were married on June 5, 1928. Garnet. known to dancers as Pete, was 81 last August; Hazel was 78 last November. They are the parents of one son. The Smiths celebrated their fiftieth anniversary by giving a gala square dance in the Tekamah, Nebraska city auditorium, with Del Trout and Jerry Junck calling. In 1982, Pete suffered a heart attack and for several months was not allowed to square dance. In June 1983, to celebrate their fifty- fifth wedding anniversary and Pete's return to health, the Smiths had another square dance at Tekamah. Hazel has kept an album of snap- shots, taken of them and their square continue to square and round dance at dancing friends, over the years. They the many clubs in northeast Nebraska. Lois Schultz

Come June '84 we'll feature as our attraction, A square dance convention with plenty of action. • It There'll be contras, clogging, exhibits and rounds, All levels of square dancing, excitement galore, We dare you to ask for anything more! • If after the convention you plan a vacation, Remember our state's among the oldest in the nation, With places whose history takes you back three hundred years or more, As you travel the highways and byways of its unique Eastern Shore. For those who don't mind a little extra auto-motion, We're just a few hours from the Atlantic Ocean. So. if fishing and swimming are what you'd like most, Take your pick of the Maryland, Delaware or New Jersey coasts. Pennsylvania has Philadelphia and the Liberty Bell, Gettysburg and the Amish country as well. New York is only four hours away, With more sights than you can possibly see in a day. Remember too, our nation's capital, Washington D.C. Where there is always plenty to do that's free. So register now, it's not too soon, We'll look forward to your visit next year, On the 28th, 29th and 30th of June!

46 MERRY MIXERS The Merry Mixers Square and Round Dance Club of Coldwater. Michigan, have been an organized club for 31 years. 56 active couples enjoy the year's activities, one of which is the float and dancing at the annual 4-H Fair. (Pictured is the 1983 Branch Coun- try fair at which the Merry Mixers won first place in the open class for floats.) The float consists of two flat hay wagons, bolted together, making a 14x16' wooden dance floor on wheels. A special dual hitch provides the steering and the float is drawn by a small farm tractor. The float floor is ample space for one square of dancers, plus one square sitting on bales of straw. The extra square allows changing of dancers. The teacher-instructor of new dancers, Don Taylor and his wife, Bev, come from Fort Wayne, Indiana, to provide live calling on the float. Out of five years' entries, the club twice has taken first place in the open class category. A good working agreement with the Fair Association provides five free dance nights for the public and dancers' enjoyment. Dancers, callers and cuers also come from area clubs to donate their time and talent to assist in the program. At present, club caller Chuck Peel of Angola, Indiana. and club cuer, Georgia Fergison of Marshall, Michigan, are the coordinators. Feeling that this is the best recruitment time for new dancers, the members pass out flyers giving information about lessons during the dancing at the fair. In February, 1983, twelve couples graduated and now a class of 18 couples are taking lessons. The Merry Mixers have sponsored dancing at the 4-H Fair for over 17 years. The original dance floor was constructed of wood and made in sections. It was leveled and shimmed on the bare ground and covered with a large tent. The original floor (with some repair) is still in use but a cement sub-floor has been installed to better accomodate the leveling and stability. Also, a permanent pole-type roof now covers the dancing and resting area. The floor is large enough for nine sets to dance. Those watching are pro- vided with benches around the dance floor and these seats are usually filled with spec- tators. Since this is not an enclosed area, each year the flooring is stored in another building on the fairgrounds. Early on Sunday, prior to the beginning of fair week, male members gather to put the floor together. At noon, a potluck dinner is brought in by the women. Usually some painting is needed for the railing and benches. This year there were 44 at the noon dinner. Other fair workers see the fun and friendship of the square dancers— another enticement to join the Merry Mixers. —Mona & Glen Gochenour, Presidents American Squaredance. February 1984 47 We are taught that there are eight beats to the common square dance phrase. Callers use this to aid their tim- ing and, believe me, good dancers do, too.

The 40-week course, taught one night per week, brings the beginner through the basic steps and on to the more complex movements. About 40 new students were enrolled in the most recent class, so it's quite apparent the "sport" isn't losing interest in the islands. Though island clubs enjoy their dances all year long, interest in square dancing comes to a peak each year when the Aloha State Convention is held. This year's convention held in the new Prince Kuhio Hotel, was a huge success, draw- ing more than 500 square dancers toge- ther for a weekend of dancing and good times. The convention featured top mainland callers. Square dancers converged on the hotel not only from Oahu clubs, but also from the 11 other square and round dance clubs on the neighbor islands of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai, and from the mainland as well. According to Ted Lyons, Hawaii 500 Hawed SID enhusiasts enjoy the 19th annual Federation chairman, "The beauty of Aloha State Convention at the Prince Kuhio Hotel In square dancing is that you can do it Honolulu. almost anywhere in the world.
