This year it holds a challenge convention, a national con- vention and a meeting of Roundalab. As you read this, Callerlab and LEGACY are over; Roundalab and the two conven- tions are ahead. As we write this. LEGACY is still ahead, and we cannot report on the shape of the discussions. Callerlab members who are serving on an ad hoc committee heard a pre- liminary report of the LEGACY survey results; the Board of Governors heard a short summary.

4 40th Anniversary Year American Squaredance, June 1985 Only one author is new to ASD pages this month. Veil Runoff son of Murray, Utah, advertised his book, Anyone Can Yodel, in BY-LINE March, and consented to write some in- structions for the many callers who would like to warble a note or two, or dancers who sing in the shower. Our other contributors are old friends: Al Eblen, who returns to talk about using one's talents; Betty Rosian, an ex-club president from Pennsylvania who is also a puzzle pro- mulgator; Bev Warner, who has now set her goal of making her fortune from writing; Robert Black, who designed covers in February, 1983, and November, 1984. While space is available, this month provides an opportunity to thank all our regular authors who never miss a deadline and keep ASD filled with news and notes about the world of square dancing!

American Squaredance, June 1985 40th Anniversary Year 41 by Bob Howell

A delightful dance that I have used for several years is one which I named after its originator. Mary Jo Brad- ford, affectionately referred to as "General Bradford" by all those hundreds of people who attended the Lloyd Shaw Fellowship held in Colorado Springs for over 30 years, taught this dance as a "Clap Dance for Threes." However, I refer to it as "General Bradford's Charge." Mary Jo hails from Lakewood. Colorado. Although she taught this as a fourth grade dance, I have used it with many adult groups as well as kids. GENERAL BRADFORD'S CHARGE MUSIC: Any 64-count sequence. FORMATION: Lines of three facing three, in a large circle around the room. Hands joined in the threes. STEP: Smooth square dance step. 8 Circle left six hands round. 8 Circle right back to place (original position). 8 Center dancer turns right-hand partner with the right hand once around, then joins left hands with left- hand partner. 8 Center dancer turns left-hand partner with lett hand once around. 8 All six star right. 8 Star left back to place (original position). 8 Clapping sequence with opposite (facing) three. All clap own hands together, then right hands with opposite, own together, opposite left, own together, opposite both, own together 3 times. (Cues: toge- ther, right, together, left together, both clap, clap, clap.) 8 Pass thru. (Threes go forward and pass thru, passing right shoulder, to face a new three with a stamp, stamp, stamp.) Join hands in a new circle of six and repeat from beginning.

Jean Siffin from Solon, Ohio, shared this little circle mixer with me. It is a lively quick-teach routine which she calls... OOM PAH MUSIC: Any 64-count. FORMATION: Circle of couples facing center, woman on man's right. DANCE: Ladies walk into center 3 steps, kick and clap on 4, walk back 3, touch; Men walk in 3 steps, turn (basketball turn) and walk back to original partner. Do-sa-do original partner, (everyone move left) do-sa-do that person; Clap own hands, move left, clap both hands with that person, clap own hands, move left, clap both hands, etc. until you get to #8. Swing #8, promenade. NOTE: When hand-clapping, have dancers say, "Oom pah, 2-pah, 3-pah, 4-pah, 5-pah, 6-pah, 7-pah (the oom and numbers being when you clap own hands and the pah when you clap the next person's hands)

Led Hetland of Anaheim, California, has sent me a contra danced in a proper triple formation. I have enjoyed using it. Although it may take time to teach it to a novice group, it is a smooth-flowing, delightful routine.

Start and complete the hey at proper cast posi- tion, i.e. the man in the men's line between the two inactive men and the woman in the women's line bet- ween the two inactive women. Actives start the hey by passing left shoulder with the inactive person (#3 woman for the active man; #2 man for the active woman) diagonally to the right across the set.

Start now to secure your local and/or state proclamation. If you need help and ideas, contact the LEGACY S/D Month chairmen, Frank and Helen Cavanaugh, 113 Stony Road, Edison NJ 08817.
