11 One of the biggest factors affecting the degree of success of your square dance club is its personality. This is made up of many factors including your caller, your dance hall and your club members. This can be one of the most influential factors in the success of your club and yet it is probably the least considered one of them all. It is something that most dancers and by KEN OPPENLANDER leaders do not realize exists.

Have you ever overheard a dancer say- ing that he really enjoys visiting with a cer- tain club because there is something about it which he likes? That something he speaks of is the club's personality. Let's take a look at some of the things that af- fect your club's personality.

Thanks to Bill Anderson, Asheville. N.C. and the ROUND DANCER magazine.

How many round dance titles can you find in this story?

One Cuban night after making whoopee, dancing country style, till 3:00 a.m., Miss Frenchy Brown said to her man Billy Bayou, "we've been listening to this trumpet talk long enough. Let's leave these dancing shadows and go somewhere, my love, for some moonlight cocktails and refreshments before I get the desert blues."

"O.K." Billy replied, "but let's do one last waltz before we leave." She put on her velvet gloves and they went out through the green door. They went walking and whistling through the bramble bush and the roses to the car.

The sky was bright from the moon over Naples as they drove through San Juan, and passed the railroad station at Southtown, U.S.A. where engine No. 9 was just de- parting. They arrived at the Silver Dollar Cafe and went in while the blue clarinet was playing Mickey's tune on the juke box.

Suzette, the hostess, said to Billy, "Hello, faithless, so what's new?" "Nothing's new," answered Billy. "We're hungry." The waitress, Marie, took their order and Billy had some Neopolitan ice cream topped with chop suey and polonaise dressing. Frenchy had some bread and strawberry jam, a lollypop and a cup of hot java.

On the way home they drove thru Monterey along the beach where the pearly shells glistened in the moonlight and the lightning bugs lit up the sky. Billy hooten- tooted the horn at the lingering lovers making love for two sitting beneath jingle bell rock as they rode by. Billy could think only of the possibilities of doodlin around and suggested they park for a while at the beach. "I can't stop loving you," he said. "Remember when I said I'll take care of your cares? Well, deep in my heart, I want you to marry me. I love you just as much as ever, and my heart aches for you. Will you marry me, sweet thang, and stop pussy-footin' around?" "Yes," she answered "If you promise to love me tenderly, I'll be your lotus blossom."

"Oh boy and runa dum dum" he replied, "I can hardly wait two measures." "Have a little faith" she answered, "and hold me." As he kissed her hot lips, that happy feeling ran through him like a roadrunner. "Here, have a bon bon," she said sweetly. "When we are married," Billy said,"I'm gonna build a fence around us and we'll have a gay time."

"Maybe someday there will be a little rag doll," Frenchy said. "So what" answered Bill, "We'll just blame it on the bossa nova."

Come September they were married in Winchester cathedral and lived happily ever after in the arms of love.
