The daughters and son of Frank and Alice Hardesty converged from all over the United States to meet with their parents for a family reunion at the Spring Swap Shop in Fontana Village, North Carolina. One couple, the Scotts, learned to square dance in order to surprise the others. Pictured above are Gerry and Peg Hardesty of Hazelcrest, Illinois; Ed and Lois Scott of Akron, Ohio; Frank and Alice Hardesty of Matooka, West Vir- ginia (Mama and Papa); Bill and Sally Davis of Voorhees, New Jersey; and Bernie and Nancy Walker of Durham, North Carolina. Helen Pate of Anderson, South Carolina, who sent the picture and informa- tion, points out that the reunion was a glorious and happy time of dancing. Too often scattered families only gather for sad occasions, and this time square dancing made possible a really fun reunion.

20 N EATS

On Sunday, November 9, 1975, NEATS will hold its second festival. What does the acronym stand for? Out of that six state area on the east coast in which square dancing has been well organized, comes a new group: the New England Association of Teen Squaredancers, which very appropriately be- comes the title NEATS. Al Caron of Middletown, Connecticut, has worked long and hard to see this organization become a reality, with nineteen teen and family square dance clubs throughout New England and eastern New York as members. Plans are now being made to continue the festival as an annual affair. The purpose of this organization, as stated in its by-laws is fourfold: 1) To promote square dancing among teens; 2) To promote fun and friendliness as an integral part of teen square dancing; 3) To encourage better relationship with adult square dance clubs and dancers; 4) To prove to the square dance fraternity that teens are square dancers and should be accepted as such. The by-laws also provide for eight adult advisors to the group, either cal- lers or dancers, who are to have no voting privileges at the meetings. Russ Moorhouse, one of the NEATS advisors, states, "I have always felt that square dancing provides a good wholesome outlet for teens, an inexpen- sive recreational activity, a place to meet, make friends and enjoy visiting with other teens, and also a place to obtain practical experience in governing themselves by organization of boards and committees, handling monies, and doing secretarial and publicity work. It also coincides with the wishes of the federal, state and local government agencies who are continually striving 'to keep the kids off the streets.' " Teens wishing information on NEATS may contact Felicia Noga, 262 Ken- nedy Road, Windsor, Connecticut 06095.

21 Thank You, Jackie

by Gerry & Linda Balzer Vice-presidents, Star Thru Squares The Star Thru Squares of Lakewood, New Jersey, celebrated its thirteenth anniversary. For the entire period, Manny Amor has been club caller, so a few weeks after the anniversary the club held another gala celebration, with a packed house, to honor Jackie Amor, Manny's wife. Jackie gave unfailing ser- vice to the club by opening her home for board meetings, helping with refresh- ments and decorations, organizing classes, being an extra girl or man (she is an excellent "Ark y" dancer) and in general helping out wherever needed with un- ending cheerfulness. During the evening Jackie was presented with an engraved silver bowl by our club president, Mendel White. Also present to honor Jackie were represen- tatives from many other clubs including the Staten Island Squares and Hill City Squares, two other clubs for whom Manny calls, plus many friends. Tele- grams and cards from well-wishers were read through the evening. "Thank you, Jackie Amor Night" was one way to recognize and show ap- preciation for all Jackie's service to the club and square dancing. All too often a caller's wife is taken for granted with "Thank you" said too seldom.

LOOKING TO LEGACY THE CLEVELAND CONCLAVE (Pictured at right)

RESOLUTIONS — LEGACY II

IMAGE That Legacy '75 reaffirms its concern expressed in Legacy '73*pertaining to excesses in the activity, and that since impressions are important we encourage all involved in dancing to put forth a constant effort to enhance the positive image we present. * 1973 statement: Callers and leaders should educate by example, and instruct that appro- priate square dance apparel should be worn at public and open dances at all times. National and area publications should educate the square dance world, that, for the best interest of the activity, dancers should refrain from partaking of alcoholic beverages before or during square dance events. THE BICENTENNIAL In order to assist the country to participate more fully in the celebration of the bicentennial events, resolved that the trustees of Legacy encourage dancers to make a personal pledge to learn the history of the dance as it has been involved in the growth of our nation and, addi- tionally, pledge to tell America our story through dance exhibitions, media, participation events, conventions, displays and all other sources available. LEADERSHIP To stimulate enthusiasm for leadership within the dance activity be it resolved that we recom- mend the establishment at the local, regional, national and international levelsof leadership, training programs, seminars, and/or clinics, be an integral part of the dance program. HOW AND WHAT WE DANCE The Legacy trustees resolve that we agree in principle with Callerlab objectives, resolutions and goals, that similar efforts be made by associations for other forms of the American dance, that we recognize that square dancing, round dancing, and contra dancing are all a part of the American Folk Dance. 29

The "Specials" Festival, a square dance benefit for exceptional people, will be held in Lincoln Mall Shopping Center, in Matteson, Illinois, on August 9, after the stores close (from 8 to 11). There will be four levels of dancing, inclu- ding challenge, with full TV coverage, program book, and door prizes. All pro- ceeds will be used to advance a full-time recreation for retarded and handicapped people in the area. This is one of the first full-time programs in the world, and there are some 7000 persons in the area to reach. The dance is sponsored by the Metropolitan Chicago Association of Square Dancers. All callers and clubs in the state of Illinois were contacted and asked to help in various ways. A booklet of information not normally found in the local maga- zines was assembled. Because the date is just before classes start, dancers are in- viting friends who have shown an interest in square dancing, and a special hall will be provided for them to try a few figures. All members of Callerlab have re- ceived information on this special event, as will all associations in the United States. Duane and Donna Rodgers, general chairman of the "Specials" Festival, are excited about the prospect of encouraging all states to run similar events during the first week in August. They say, "If you could have been with us the other night when we took the Special Squares of Park Forest to visit the Southwest Squares of Chicago, you could not have helped but get excited abaft providing a similar program for an exceptional fortunate enough to get the opportunity to participate. Close to 100 exceptionals enjoyed meeting new friends and were so proud that they could all dance. One young woman summed up her feelings about dancing with Art Matthews' Southwest Squares, 'They were professionals.' When we told her, 'You danced with them and had no trouble, so you're a pro- fessional too!', she looked at us and said, 'I am.' And proceeded to tell her friends, 'We're professionals.' How great it would be if we could get the bill passed making square dancing our National Folk Dance, get the Square Dance Stamp on our mail, and in the year of our country's 200th birthday, unite to create the interest and better understanding for exceptionals, as well as for square dancing. Can't think of a better image to put before the American public."

34 CALLERLAB CONFAB

the INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SQUARE DANCE CALLERS

The Callerlab Experimental Basics Committee has announced that there will be no movements selected for July, August and September, 1975. When the committee was originally formed with Jack Lasry, Miami, Flori- da, as chairman, it was decided that no more than two movements would be suggested by the committee for mainstream dancing in any one quarter. Dur- ing the December 1975 to March 1975 quarter, the movement Coordinate was selected as a single selection. Now, for the first time, because the commit- tee members who voted were not strongly supporting any movements, the "quarterly movements clearing house" suggests no quarterly movement for the next three month's period. In lieu of new material, the committee suggests that during the summer dancers workshop the existing quarterly movements: Recycle, Walk and dodge, Coordinate, Transfer the column and Half tag, trade and roll. It is also suggested that they concentrate on any of the basic 75 movements. To those who might be disappointed in not having the maximum number of new movements presented each quarter, it should be pointed out that it would be relatively simple for the committee to suggest one or two of the dozen new figures recently invented. The committee deserves special credit for its restraint and for adhering to the purpose of the clearning house — to suggest one or two movements when, in the judgment of a majority of the committee members, there are movements warranting this special attention.

The current address for Callerlab correspondence is now: Bob Osgood, Executive Secretary 462 N. Robertson Blvd. Los Angeles, California 90048.

52 A GRAND SQUARE dancer

MILLIE — OUR QUEEN FOR A DECADE! by Sidney Kirchner Omaha, Nebraska 0 Mildred Aldridge may be a grandmother and a great-grandmother and recently re- tired from her job, but she's certainly "young at heart." She was honored (and sur- prised) at the Dandy Dancers Square Dance Club graduation in Belleville, Illinois, recently when she was presented with a square dance trophy and a corsage. Millie was introduced to square dancing in 1956. She was a charter member of Dandy Dancers, formed ten years ago, and she designed the club badge. She has been a loyal member, always in the background ready to help out where needed, serving as club hostess, setting up the refreshment table, and greeting dancers with her friendly smile. Millie has been a faithful "Angel," one who always helps out new dancers while still in class. She supports all club functions and attends many other area dancers. Millie is the epitome of a square dancer in her dress and attitude, with hand always extended. The Dandy Dancers salute a beautiful lady, and put her in the foreground.

Ever since Colonial days two unique ingredients have made square dancing a distinctive dance form. One is a kind of STYLE that is both gentle and gentile, both expressive and impressive, both rhyming and rhythmic. The other is a special SOCIAL INTERACTION that de- mands cooperation, friendly attitudes, team spirit; and pro duces group harmony to compliment the harmony of the music and the action. Since this issue pays tribute to the ladies, let's put credit where credit is due. We suspect, over the years, our charm- ing, gentle PARTNERS have been largely responsible for maintaining that beautiful balance described above. Please join me in a grateful cheer, fellows: "ATTABOY, GIRLS!"
