We all know that. and we know that with modern com- munication and transportation systems, the world grows smaller. Neighbors and friends are not only next door or in our home square dance clubs but on the other side of the world. Our oldest son has gone to Hawaii to teach for a term. There he met two daughters of an old friend of ours from YMCA work days. A few days later, walk- ing the beach at Waikiki, he heard square dance music. Introducing him- self at a break, he found himself talking to Ed Foote from Pennsylvania. Small world. We're always being reminded how small it really is!

ur lead feature this month is a V prayer given at a Jackson, Mississippi. square dance festival by BY-LINE Rev. George Wagner of the Covenant Christian Church. Among the other goodies at our Thanksgiving feast are: A discussion by Phyllis McCall on the role of the caller's wife. Phyllis is half of the Mac McCall calling team in the Washington D.C. area. The revelation of the contents of a "magic bag" by Bill Barr, a newer caller from Connecticut, who obviously enjoys writing, too. The explanation of Mesa, Arizona's claim to being the square dance capital of the world, by Wayne and Norma Wylie, well-known round dance leaders who moved to that area in the last decade. Another adventure of the A-Team by Dan and Carol Parkinson, following closely upon the article on "partners in ocean waves" and treating the same topic more lightly, as befits fiction. Two articles by Bev Warner, one in "Hem- Line" and the other giving tips on how to deal with the habitual complainer (Try her tips for yourself.) Maggie Wade's cartoon is deceptive in its simplicity, but accomplishes its purpose—a smile, or perhaps a laugh! Mary Heisey reminds us with a square dance poem that we should participate in November's big event, the national election. Don't forget to vote! And enjoy your Thanksgiving dances and feasts!

American Squaredance. November 1984 Creator of the Dance

Creator of life, love, laughter and dance: Make us aware of Your presence in this festival, Celebrate with all your people this night in love. Lead our callers: To be challenging, to keep us on our toes: To be forgiving, especially when we break down. Lead our dancers: To be considerate of callers and other dancers, To be able to laugh at themselves and with others when they swamp the boat, they run the wrong way, they forget who their corners are. Lord, You know how we are. Tonight: Let us make enough mistakes to keep us humble, Let us have enough fun to keep us smiling and happy, Let us dance enough good tips to encourage us and remind us we are created in Your image. So let our lives, as witnessed by our calling and dancing, Be in praise of You, 0 God.

12 A m e ri c a n Squaredance. November 1984 Is There A MASTER PLAN for the Caller's Wife? by Phyllis McCall Fairfax, Virginia Most wives never have the opportunity to decide if they want to be callers' wives. You don't even get the chance to try out for the part. Your husband makes the decision for you when he picks up the mike. He calls his first tip, your friends are encouraging him to go on, and you are excited and proud. He becomes more proficient and involved— and you have a new position—caller's wife. I remember telling Mac, "You can't be a caller because I can't be a caller's wife." Many spouses have a hard time adjusting to this role. always keep a night for dancing.

Here is the first attempt of a young member of the Air Force at choreographing a solo dance. I think he has done a fine yob. Douglas Ellsworth calls this one... UPTOWN STRUT FORMATION: Solo, no partner needed MUSIC: "Uptown Girl," Billy Joel. Columbia 45 #38-04149 ROUTINE: 16 beat intro: 18-beat movements. COUNTS: 1-4 Vine right with left foot kick or touch. 5-8 Vine left with right foot kick or touch. 9-10 Forward step and touch IR step. L touch) 11-12 Forward step and touch (L step. R touch) 13-14 Forward step and touch with a l/4 R turn (R step. L !ch. integrate a 3/4 R turn with step prior to tch) 15-18 Back up 3 steps with a R touch (Start on L foot: L.R.L,Tch R). Doug notes that body English may consist of claps or snaps on any kick or touch during the dance.

Ken Kernen of Albuquerque. N.M.. shared this gem with me at Callerlab this past spring and I have about worn it out ever since. Head gents take your corner girl and dance up to the middle and back Pass thru, both turn left. go single file around two. Side gents take your corner girl, dance up to the middle and back Pass thru. both turn left, go single file around two. Join your hands and circle left Swing your partner, promenade home.

Kathy Hell of Cincinnati, Ohio, named this dance which her husband Jerry wrote. She calls it... HELT'S REEL SQUARE Couple #1 promenade inside the set. Face out when you get back home. (Face out in #1 position.) Couple #4 fall in behind #1. (The rule is that the original left hand couple always falls in behind the active couple. and every couple to their left falls in behind.) Everybody to the left sashay (4 steps) Everybody sashay right four steps All face partners and do-sa-do #1 couple begins to reel the set. (Turn partner right once and a half. Go out to the next couple. opposite sex with a left elbow swing. Meet partner in the center with a right elbow once around. Next couple with a left elbow once around, then partner right in the middle Last couple with a left elbow and then right to partner half way around.) #1 couple promenade up center of the set. Everybody tall in behind. All promenade left around the set until you get home. #2 couple promenades inside, #1 falls in. #4 falls in and #3 brings up the rear (in rotation).

Gus Guscott of Cleveland, Ohio, prompted this contra at a dance held by the Contra Kings and Queens Club in Middleburg Hts., Ohio. (Note: Co-editor Stan Burdick of American Squaredance started this club in 1976 and it is still going strong.) GUS'S CONTRA FORMATION: Alternate duple. 1,3.5. etc active and crossed over.

SCOTT SMITH Ogden. Utah

CHAPARRAL RECORDS invites you to join us In welcoming tne talented SCOTT SMITH to our staff of fine callers. Scott is appreciated for his mellow voice and smooth timing, and we feel fortunate in being able to offer him full time to add to your dancing pleasure.

Born and raised in Ogden. Utah, Scott was introduced to square dancing and calling at an early age. His father, a fine caller in his own right. inspired Scott to start a teen club which quickly became a success. After leaving the square dance world to serve on a church mission, Scott returned to find his talent still in de- mand. He now travels throughout the U.S. and Canada in addition to operating a full home program for beginners through advanced levels.

Scott and his lovely wife Valerie make their home in Ogden along with their three children Amberly, age 7; Jacob. 5; and Clint, 2.

We are excited about the addition of Scott Smith to the CHAPARRAL label, and again we say WELCOME to this fine caller and his family. For booking information contact: Scott Smith 834 West 3800 South Ogden, Utah 84407 (801) 393-2039 Or, call CHAPARRAL RECORDS.

Now one of the owners. Marshall travels each year from Abilene to kick off the square dancing season at the lodge. Throughout his career, Marshall has been instrumental in guiding beginning callers and, in the same way, has added his special touch to the recording industry. In 1981, his peers at Caller- lab recognized Marshall's talent with the distinguished Milestone Award, the highest accolade given by the organization. Marshall and his lovely wife Neeca make their home in Abilene. Texas when they are not at the Kirkwood Lodge. Their 21-year-old son John is a junior at Central Missouri State College. We feel that the combination of the number one caller with the number one square dance recording company will bring ;•.1- exciting results. Welcome. Marshall and family! karral ORDS
