Seven feature writers have submissions in this season-opening issue. Ann Lauder- dale, editor of the Oregon Federation News and a self-described optimist, has written our "opener" on Page 11. Her feature is the appetizer for another super- smorgasbord of assorted scribings. Vic and Peg Wills, members of the National Ex- ecutive Committee, serve up suggestions for the "care and feeding" of square dance angels. Betsy Duncan Randolph, publicist for LeHigh Acres in Florida, sent stories and pictures of a very special wedding. Don Malcolm recommends rating callers "Plus-10." Don is a first sergeant at Ellsworth AFB, South Dakota, and calls himself the "Missouri Maverick." Helen Pate sent us the story about a very special young dancer who is an inspira- tion to handicapped persons everywhere. Another old friend, Peg Tiffs'', describes the struggle to make square dancing the New Jersey state dance. Erma Reynolds, whose name is familiar to ASD puzzle fans, has contributed ideas for fun at intermission time (also good for after-parties, too). Two poems this month were submitted by friends of the authors. Dave and Nita Smith sent a round dance "song" written by Dot Lawson; Donald Vincent sent one written by Vickie Durbin for Bill George, caller/teacher and active horseman. Enjoy the feast!

When Mandy, now fourteen, was eighteen months old, she lost her leg in an accident. She spent three months in the Shriners Hospital for Crippled Children in Greenville, and has had periodic hospital stays from time to time. Mandy is a beautiful, graceful dancer, dancing anything that is called with a flair that makes other dancers en- vious. The Hejaz Square Dance Club holds a benefit dance once a month for the Shriners Hospital. Callers and cuers donate their time and efforts to helping youngsters such as Mandy.

Seattle, like many of the larger cities in our country, lacks major hotel facilities adjacent to or close by the convention facilities. Seattle's Monorail, a legacy of the 1962 World's Fair, provides the link between the heart of the city and the Seat- tle Center, your 30th National Square Dance Convention site. The world's first futuristic commercial carrier, it whisks its passengers from the downtown terminal to the Convention grounds in just 90 seconds. Major downtown hotels and motels are within easy walking distance of the Monorail terminal.

American Scluaredance, September 1980 25 HEM-LINE

The beginning of a square dance season is a good time to review one's wardrobe, purchase lightweight material at special sales, and plan for the winter's sewing projects. Judy Ross Smith, author of Needle Notes and regular staff writer for the New England Caller, did a host of sketches from the fashion show at last spring's New England Convention. The sketches have been reduced slightly to fit this format, but her brief descriptive lines are printed as they appeared. Your mind's eye will have to supply the colors, revise and adapt the designs to fit your size and material, but this phase is almost more fun than the actual sewing. We thank the New England Caller for this great feature, and to quote its editor's motto, "Have fun!"

32 American Squeredence September 1980 ODE TO GRAND OL' BILL Not so long ago, in the wild midwest There rode a big cowboy all liked best. RHYME Grand Of' Bill was his name, Wheel and deal was his game. He had a horse, but drove a car, TIME The latest model, an allemande thar He'd slip the clutch and zoom on through Then turn around like a curlique. He'd pass the ocean and with his girl, They'd both do together a California twirl His girl was red hot and nice and curvy, Everyone called her Dixie derby. They'd tear up the streets, oh don't you know, Doing their famous do-sa-do. They'd allemande left and then they'd swing, And all that was left was a big dust ring. The town said, "Enough!" and a plan they made Tomorrow at sunset they'd all promenade Right to the trainyard all eight chained thru, Ready for the showdown on old track two When Bill and Derby were all set, Some other folks boxed the gnat, Bill and Derby still passed thru And then what happened will surprise even you. People went flying like a Ferris wheel The poor old car got the worst of the deal, No car for old Bill, it's now a bicycle, Thanks to the progress of good of recycle. Vickie Durbin Huron, South Dakota

Dave and Nita Smith sent this song written by one of the Hap- py Heart Round Dancers of Lubbock, Texas. The verse is sung to "Sweet Betsy from Pike," and the chorus to the Hee Haw ditty.

Verse: Six months ago round dance lessons did start, Maneuver and walk two, I thought I was smart. We pivot and vine, and face the wall. Why can't I do these? My brain seems to stall. Chorus: Brain, oh brain, please work once tonight. Don't leave me here on the floor all alone. I get in position, and think so intently, Dave calls a two-step, and you are gone V: Apart and we point, semi-close down the line, We wrap and we unwrap, and then open vine. We basketball turn, fellows move up a girl. Boys will vine, give the girls a twirl. Repeat chorus. V: Two turning two-steps, line of dance we go, Vine three and change sides, I just got her toe. Stay close to your partner, tiny steps you must take. I wind up going backwards, with that you can't fake. Repeat chorus.
