John Swindle 3 Amerman Squaredance, July 1981 Leadership is much on our minds since the LEGACY meeting, where square dance leaders with more than five years' experience met in Denver. Why do some dancers stay in the activ- ity and devote so much time to the CO-EDITORK perpetuation of it? Someone has said that one does not fall Into depression and despair when one has some control over a situation. Is this the difference between those who assume responsibility for bettering the activity and those who become discouraged and drop out? Does every club member have an opportunity for ex- pression and input into the club framework? One vital characteristic of a leader Is commitment. Let's spell It this way: Charting a course Objectively dealing with fellows Making an effort Morale building 3. Be a delegate to the association/ Imagination and creativity council Turning a blind eye to faults 4. Support club/association projects. Marking progress 5. Be "angels," promote classes.

Box 371 `THE MAREX CO. Champaign, IL. 61820 4 American Squaredancia July 1981 Many of ASD's June features are written by women and for all dancers. Bev Warner, our prolific contributor from Saginaw, Michigan, has three contributions printed. A caller's wife, Bev has highlighted a cat, a fashion show and warm outfits for us this month. NINI Harris of St. Louis, a dancer, describes old-time dance eti- quette quite a change from that of the 1980's. The "Rhyme Time" poet, Mignonette Murray, has sent a poem she uses with classes at Brigham Young Univ. Among her discussion questions are, "Is this poem about square dancing?" and "Why did the author choose this metaphor?" Donna Rodgers, also a caller's wife, contributed the quiz for dancers. We're not sure If it was original with Donna but It came from a packet she sent us. The word puzzle was sent by Frances Clark of Tennessee. Mary Gottula, who has been active in planning and staging the Prairie Conclave, wrote an article on leading meetings. Our lone male contributor (other than the regulars) writes about a woman and her possessions. Don't miss Al Eblen's story of his grandmother's trunk. We hope these add up to good summer reading by the lake, by the pool or Just on your front porch! ••• •• - 1 1-7-15k5 17171. 717701- C OPS The "Original" Subscription Tape Service S ANHURST's TAPE AND RECORD SERVICE I BOX 709,Wappingers Falls, N.Y. 12590 41 THE VERY FINEST "AUDIO CATALOG" OF THE NEWEST SOUNDS AND DANCES, TO KEEP YOU CURRENT.

Each idea should be carefully examined and made to stand on its merits. It has been reported several times that Florida was among those interested in the formation of this association. At a recent meeting The Florida Federation of Square Dancers affiliation with this association was defeated. Chet Vetter Mori Sogolow Past Chairman— Florida Federation 4 CONCERNING HATS About three years ago we stopped For months we have been reading overnight in a hamlet at the bottom of a about the formation of a national square canyon on the Snake River in Idaho. We dance association. During this time we went to a Saturday night dance.
