Orphie Easson 3 American Spuaredance, September 1984 eptember has rolled around once Sagain, and square dancers greet a new season of club dances, workshops co and new dancer classes. September is fil IT MIMI_ also an anniversary of sorts for ASD, although we now count publication years along with calendar years. In September, 1945, Charles Crabbe Thom- as, a New Jersey lawyer, created Ame- rican Squares to improve communi- cation between dancers and dance groups. This issue begins the 40th year of publication, with only a brief hiatus of four months during one change of edi- tors (which is why we now begin new volumes in January instead of Septem- ber). Your editors are proud to continue this strong tradition of communication in the dance activity: the sharing of new/good program ideas, the airing of problems, the seeking for solutions, the promotion of special activities, the con- stant reporting of current developments exciting vocation. And knowing that and events. what you do is a service to thousands of Seeing each issue in print is a satisfy- readers makes the effort doubly satisfy- ing culmination of the effort to meet ing. Of course, ASD could not exist deadlines, to work around vacations and without its readers, and without its family responsibilities and holidays. many contributors, Editing a magazine is an interesting and Thank you all.

Handgrips are being talked about again, and the in- teresting question of partners in ocean waves has surfaced. Ed Foote writes an in- teresting exposition logically leading the reader to his point of view; perhaps some reader will do the same for the opposition. This has happened with the "Feedback" this month. The Miltech ad and July "Challenge Chatter" have stirred things up a lit- tle—rightfully so, we think! Harriet Miles, veteran writer has written a scenario that many dancers will find familiar. Dan and Carol Parkinson, author of other stories and poems in ASD, have described further adventures of the A-team in fiction that has at least a shred of truth in it. Walt and Dorothy Wilson, badgemakers from Dayton, Ohio, share a real-life adven- ture in a round-the-world trip that continued from the ASD China tour. "Do-Si-Do Dolores," an old friend to ASD readers, surfaces this month, as creator Stan finds time at the drawing board. And another familiar name from previous issues, Lib Eddy, addresses the topic of what is taught in dance classes. To top it all off, Fred Haury shares an excerpt from ABC's of Round Dancing, an article on clubs that is true for both round and square dance groups. Happy New Season!
