Don't skip over the fiction feature, "Schism," In this May issue. You may recognize a club to which you've belonged or in which you've danced. Valerie Titus of Florida draws this picture of personality problems within a club. Bob McNutt of Washington state is an old friend, new to these pages, a LEGACY trustee and a devoted promoter of square dancing, along with his wife, Martha. Bob was one of the originators of the Washington Leadership Seminar, and another feature this month is a discussion of ethics by Herb Dennis, which was presented at the 10th Leadership Seminar last summer. A fairy tale come true is described by Pat Welsh, one of the dancers on the 1979 Rose Parade Float. Find out about Pat's experiences; you may want to try out for 1980! Commandments for round dancers were spelled out for a graduating class by Roselle Bosley in her uniquely humorous style. Many of these "rules" are adaptable to square dancing, too. A "long look inward" is prescribed by Harvell Williams, who for the second time in these pages has suggested alternatives to the idea of a moratorium. Happy Spring!

What are ethics? Webster defines ethics as "the science of ideal human character." I found it extremely hard to make a comparison between ethics and square dance leadership. After further t presented at the research on the subject, I believe it actually means the methods people use to seek their goals. By goals I mean 10th Annual Leadership what you want to get out of square dance leadership. I see leadership as a Seminar method of fulfilling them. If we break down our goal in square dance leadership we find that the majority of people find it is a way of consider cooperation. Cooperation in its having plain, old-fashioned fun. There is basic form means the collective action of no better way to meet and get to know more that one person to achieve a people than to become an officer in a mutual goal. This is not the activity nor square dance club. We sometimes think the place to have competition among all it means to be an officer is to be at our groups, as in politics.

A SQUARE DANCER REMEMBERS Bedridden by an accident, ! can no to dance. I'm glad I went square dancing All those years I had the chance. I made a lot of dresses And I sewed some shirts for Drew. We joined old groups and started some, Our nights at home were few. Our scrapbooks mean so much to me. They chronicle our life SPRING TIP Of promenades and do-sa-dos The dancers gather on the green As dancing man and wife. In costumes new and bright, Don't pity me for looking back; While people wander toward the scene It seldom makes me sad. That shines with special light. It just makes me more grateful The fiddler finds a patch of grass, For the dancing years we had. Adjusts his bow, and tunes, —Mary F. Heisey Then thinks how fast the hours pass On hoedown afternoons. The lively music starts to sound, Like freshets breaking free. Soon boots and shoes crisscross the ground Like sunbeams on a spree. The world seems new and lovely As the dancers step and swing. Life looks and feels much better When square dancers welcome spring. —Mary F. Heisey

It makes no difference ever possible to help check position. what you call them, what counts is what This is more helpful than most people is presented, and how much good you realized until they started doing it. This get out of it. Personally in our sessions is not just for advanced dancing, but for we want the callers to participate, to call all levels of square dancing. and be counseled on the good and bad We speak of the different levels of things they are doing. Sessions where square dancing, and the levels around you sit and just listen and take notes are the country do vary greatly, but really not nearly as helpful. "level" isn't important as long as the Dancers, too, often need help and this dancers are having a good time. You is usually done in "workshops." Here will find, however, that everyone likes again there are club level workshops to be "challenged" a little from time to (meaning Mainstream) and Plus II A-I, time. We all like the feeling of and on and on into the challenge club accomplishment, and so when we are level. Dancers should go to the level challenged and we. meet the challenge workshops they feel can help them, and we enjoy it. The caller has the chore of that they feel they can handle with no knowing what is challenge but still great strain.

To follow with basics such as partner trade, trade by or veer left is just plain uncomfortable, at best. There are some instances where modifying the description during the teach of a figure does not modify the body flow. Such an example is track two which is written as a tandem partner by Gene Trimmer trade followed by leaders passing thru Be careful with the methods you use and stepping to a wave. When you to teach any figure. One session where really study the body flow and want an dancers have difficulty understanding easy way to teach without modifying the body flow of a figure will leave them body flow you begin to see that starting confused and unhappy.

Mona Cannell of Kettering, Ohio, sends along another gem she dreamed up to follow the "Texas Schottische for Three" to make a complete tip of threesome dancing for a Senior Citizens dance program at the Rose E. Miller Recreation Center in Kettering. It is useful in situations where numbers of men and women are not even, and is also good for one-night stands. THE ROSE E.

From Littleton, Colorado, Al Scheer contributes another dandy which he says was written in 1954 by the late and wonderful Madeline Allen. He says it makes a good exhibition number. THREE LITTLE STARS Number one gent and opposite lady Star by the right and I don't mean maybe Star by the right in the center of the set Side couples star with your partners yet (There are now 3 two-handed stars across the set) Turn those stars as pretty as you can Till the girls face the girl And the men face the man (A 6-hand ocean wave across set with 3 girls facing lonesome gal in #1 spot and the 3 men facing the lonesome gent in #3 spot) Balance six, you're still not done, walk forward (Traditional New England balance) Circle four with the lonesome one (Girls circle with lonesome cal; men circle with lonesome gent) You're doing fine, head lady break and make a line Gents star right, you're doing fine.

With the coming of summer, Bruce Bird of Shawnee, Kansas, contributes this contra, which was named by his 13-year old son. Bruce does not recommend it as the high point of an evening because the inactives are so inactive, but he feels it is a good teaching tool which has worked well for him.

One of them was Happy Daze. Each caller ended his tip with his favorite singing call. One of them was "My Way." From the following clues you should be able to determine the favorite singing call of each caller and the tip in which he sang it. 1. Chuck Wagon and the caller who sang "I'll Get Over You" came in the same car, but they got lost, and arrived too late for the first two tips. 2. Smilin' Broadly, who dislikes "Rockin' Rosalie's Boat" because he thinks it is overdone, called the second tip after "I'll Get Over You" was sung, but immediately before Singin' Weekly called his tip. 3. The six callers were: Yodelin' Hills, the one who sang "Summer Sounds," the one who sang "Something About You Baby I Like," the one who sang "Some Broken Hearts Never Mend," the one who called the fourth tip and the one who called the fifth tip. 4. "Summer Sounds" was sung after Tex Rebate's tip, but before "Something About You Baby I Like" was sung. (Not necessarily consecutively.)

Thanks to Gene I rimmer in Mainstream Flow again for giving a plug to our IN-form Series and other ASD services. He pans the advertised Square Dance Guild idea, and says, "....just because a paid advertisement appears in a magazine, that does not mean that magazine (ASD, Great Lakes Dancer, etc.) supports the idea or product." Very true, Gene. Jack Lasry in Notes for Callers reveals how he plans each tip, briefly as follows: 1st tip, "mood setter"....dancer success....enthusiasm....Tip 2, expand your knowledge.... some positioning with standard basics....Tip 3, Callerlab quarterly tip....reteach....Tips 4,5,6, lively, fun calling.... Toronto & District Notes features thar she blows, tally ho, weave to a line, launch it, make me a column, fall into a column, and others; ROM is "Candlelight Waltz." News 'n Notes from Connecticut exclaims, "Let's get the 'weave' craze under control!" (...a deluge of new call ideas with "weave" in their titles...) It all started with grand weave and many are incorrect. New ideas especially featured are thar she blows and make me a column. (Pointed out is the fact that make me a column is the same as the old gee whiz, but better named.) Will Orlich in NCR NOTES features star track and others. He also has an interesting commentary on "helpers" as follows: "The most aeadly sin in square dancing is the helper who is so busy minding traffic in the square that he/she can't get through a single thing. You'll usually find that it's some wife afraid her husband won't like square dancing. She helps him to the point that she helps him right out of square dancing. She pushes (the wrong way) and pulls (the wrong way), runs (the wrong way) and turns things into a mess. Everyone must do his own part. The most help one can do or be to any other dancer is to "leave him alone" to work out his own problems. The deadliest helper is the experienced dancer who hangs around the fringe of the square and attempts to push beginners around." Figuring from Australia has a nice collection of gimmick calls, like this: Head ladies chain to the right, couples 1 and 2 right and left thru Couples 3 and 4 star thru, 1 and 2 spin the top, 3 and 4 swing thru Rock it back, go right and left grand Some of the new ideas especially featured in SDDS from California are: launch it, trade around, make me a column, swing and miss, scoot, clover and spin, and slither. Warren Berquam in Minnesota Callers Notes discusses changing eight chain thru so as not to require the full action of courtesy turns (dropping the man's arm around the girl's waist part) for better flow. He hopes Callerlab will develop a more workable definition of this basic. The Southern California Notes presents some easy APD figures "that can be done by most dancers with a little bit of coaching." EXAMPLES: Heads pass thru, both turn right Sides lead right, touch a quarter Girls around two. boys around one Ends circulate, centers trade Pass thru, wheel and deal Boys run, slide thru Box 1-4 Double pass thru, leads turn back Grand right and left

THE "TATE" FAMILY

Have you ever heard of the famous TATE FAMILY that belTrigl to every club? There is old man DICK TATE, who wants to run everything. Uncle RO TATE tries to change everything. And sister AGI TATE stirs up trouble whenever possible. Her brother IRRI TATE helps her to do so, too. And whenever new projects are suggested, brother HESI TATE and sister VEGE TATE pour cold water on the proposals. Everybody tends to quake if brother DEVAS TATE stands up in a meeting. Then there is sister IMI TATE who tries to have the club mimic everybody else. And brother POTEN TATE wants to be a big shot. But not all members of the family are bad, for brother FACILITATE is quite helpful. A delightful member of the family is Miss FELICI TATE. And our president is always delighted by brother COGI TATE and his twin brother MEDI TATE. Do you have a relative you would like to add?
