In a year of predicted recession and rising gas costs, the early registration figures broke records. Housing possibil- ities in Memphis hotels were exhausted; dormitories and private homes were pressed into use. More than ever, the comraderie and spirit of America's dancers will overshadow the inconveni- ences and difficulties. We find incomprehensible and mys- terious the fact that in so-called "recession" years, square dancing national gathering. activity grows.

5 The Grand Squares are sponsoring, besides their regular weekly club and class, a monthly Saturday night dance with visiting callers. The A Squares dance on Tuesday nights, one of the weeks having a visiting caller. They also have a visiting caller every fifth Saturday night and have started a class of round dances. The dancing, teaching, and calling are lots of fun, challenging, and good exercise; but we'll have to say that from where we sit, the most rewarding part of all is the wonderful people we have met square dancing. Thank you for your part (and Cathie's) in helping to maintain the dancers' interest in this Just a note of appreciation to say we wholesome and interesting activity. think you are doing a fine job!

Dick Brown takes a look at the caller and his equipment in 2001. Dick is a co-executive secretary of LEGACY and an inventor, as well as a proponent of the square dance activity. Peg Tirrell often takes up her pen to let us know of successful events in her New Jersey area. Her story this time is of a successful festival and a special couple who initiated it. Peg is half of a round dance cuer couple and a board member of LEGACY. Steve Dudas of Cleveland writes a "June Mystery Trip" poem for this month's "Rhyme Time." Steve is a master of poetic story telling. Specially for our convention issue, Erma Reynolds submitted a match-up puzzle for your pleasure. In the April 1980 issue, a credit line for "The Ideal Square Dance Calendar" was omitted. Theresa Gavcus' article had also been published in The Crosstown Rag of Jan. 15, 1980.

JUNE'S MYSTERY TRIP At the zone of departure. waiting together. With the bus's arrival, we are ready to go. In the air, a promise of beautiful weather; Where we are bound for, none of us know. Petticoat bundles. a few bottle-shaped lunches; In the vehicles entrails the Coolers are stored. Destination, the subject of guesses and hunches. With impatience of youngsters. we clamber aboard. The bus is then sealed by steel door and shutter, Hiding from view the light of the day. The unusual procedure has passengers mutter. "Why are we. so completely. sequestered away?" Thus chided to silence are all those complaining— "Direction. or the scenery, would Give you a tio. The place we are going will continue remaining The ultimate mystery of this mystery trip."

We play games. eat and dri nk, have little concept ion Our destination is reached with a bit of confusion, Of reason or cause of the rocket-like sound: For our voices produce eerie echoes of sound. Are greatly amused by the clever deception The bus's confinement blamed for the illusion, That gives us the feeling we are leaving the ground. We feel divested of weight as we step to the ground. It is almost as though on a cloud we are riding, Our collection of thoughts is slowly revealing. As entertainment we find in joking and song. As we all turn to look at ingenious June, Part of the journey, even sleep is providing, This is history making! We are getting the feeling For this mystery trip is abnormally long. We will be the first to squaredance on the moon.

He writes that in can really dance, and the remainder are other countries, "a national organization has standardized dances and prescribed content to square dance." Elliott says, whether a dancer's fingers should point "It's no wonder that people get bored forward or back when his hand is on his with square dancing, if they never learn to dance. It is true, and I believe it is the hip!" Preserving a dance in the exact reason why square dancing is so way it was done in some area in the past popular, that people do not have to might be of historical interest if it were know how to dance to participate in the possible, but it could kill the develop- ment of dancing.
