Orphie Marcellus American Squaretlance, June 1990 3 une brings us to the closing of another J season of square dancing, with the National Convention in Memphis and the many special summer events. Even while we are making this year's graduates welcome in our groups, it's time to start looking forward to 1990 Square Dance Month in September and the recruiting of next year's group of neophyte dancers. Looking back a little, your editors have just returned from the Callerlab Conven- tion as this is written. We want to report a very positive outlook, with a great shar- ing session on promotional ideas that grew from the 1989 emphasis on "Recruit, Promote and Maintain" (RPM).

June 1990 his issue is full of news-from T Callerlab (both the convention details BY-LINE and the new OS report), from LEGACY, from the Memphis Convention to be held late this month. One bit of news is that arrangements were made at the Callerlab Convention for your editors to call the Callerlab office just after the release dates and obtain the news of new QS choices. This should mean less delay in releasing them to you, although it may still not insure that we will have them at the beginning of each quarter. Now, to our authors-Jo Jan Nunley and Bev Warner are such familiar names that we no longer need to introduce them to you. Lowell Hamblin has written an enter- taining recounting of his efforts to learn to dance, proving that age is no deterrent. Ben Jaffe writes about his partner's calling for a group of deaf dancers to tell others how it can be done. Things are looking good in the square dance activity. Anything can be done if we dream and work and create new methods of doing them. Right? 1. A & K Distributors 85 27. Eagle Records 57 53. Micro Plastics 64 80. Show-Grand Res. 24 2.
