We're entering a New Year and, while some may argue that the decade does not begin until 1991, a new decade of the nineties. Isn't it great? As a child, we hoped to be alive to see a new century; today it's hard to realize how close that new century is. What will the 1990's bring? Personally, we don't feel the eighties were really very surprising, so we hope for great things still to come. Last month we heard a speaker on "Growing Older, Not Just Old." Not a talk just for senior citizens, it emphasized that we are all growing from the time we are born. It is our choice whether we grow old or just older. The distinction is that you grow old when you stagnate; growing older means learning new things, expan- with change: we can fight with all our ding your capabilities, stretching your might to petrify the status quo or we can mind along with your muscles, being view the new as a great adventure and caught up in the great adventure of living. adapt ourselves to it and it to our liking.

January 1990 ith this issue, American Square- w dance begins its 45th year of BY-LINE publication. Started in 1945, it has had five editorial teams and a variety of homes. Your editors are proud that it has been in Huron, Ohio, since 1968 and has grown to its largest size and circulation under their management. Our January package provides a variety of short-short articles, some humorous and some requesting help (See page 53.) Bev Warner has described a couple deeply involved in an unsung phase of square dancing-badge making. Bever- ly Ruuth suggests excellent advice for a new year and a new decade with her article on humor. Every now and then we think the article on ECMA should be re-run and Chuck Broad gave us an great companion piece with his story about three women who saved a square dancer's life. Our fourteenth Professional Profile highlights Walt and Louise Cole, a couple who have made a great contribution to square dancing. Happy reading, and a most happy and prosperous New Year to all our readers! 1. A to Z Engravers 76 28. Copecrest 18 55. Lightning Records 83 82. Scope Records 4 2. Alaska Convention 99 29.
