American Squaredance, May 1992 Kditor's NOTEBOOK

ost of the time when people put down Mor "sneer" at something, it's because they are ignorant of the subject. This month we are reprinting an article from the TRI- BUNE— REVIEW, Greensburg, Pa., Square dance fever, written by someone who fits that category. dress 116 East Wing, P.O. Box 134, Johns- We almost never see anything in print town, Pa. 15905. It would be nice to get derogatory to our square dance activity. those people who have had anything to do But as you will see when you read this piece with this miscarriage of information, of journalism, we do get dumped on by straight on the subject! At least let them unschooled people who either think it's know Square Dancing is one of the few cute or something of an eye—catcher for activities left that do not allow alcohol, their ravings, since I'm sure no one in their drugs, foul language, roughness, nor is it in right mind would ever read them. the least militaristic. If all you readers We are hoping that some of you will take would write a letter, wouldn't he be sur- pen in hand (or typewriter) and fire off a prised. How about getting something like letter to State Rep. John Wozniak, District 16,000 letters on the same subject. I have an 71, Moxham Professional Bldg., 226 Ohio idea that sooner than later he would get the St., Johnstown, Pa. 15905 or his home ad- right idea.

Note: Mae suggests for a Hawaiian Theme, when moving towards and out of the center, move hands and sway hips slowly.

August and Miriam Simmons of Columbus, OH. who are the Vice Chairman of the Contra Program for the national square Dance Convention, being held in Cincinnati, OH. next month, conducted a contest for the choreographing of an original contra which satisfied the following criteria: [That the choreogra- phy be simple enough so that both Contra dancers and Square Dancers can dance it with a minimum of walk through]. Following is my entry of the - - -

Dorothy Shaw said to me many years ago, that a dance should tell a story. Here is my story about the above dance: The first sixteen counts represent Lake Erie at the north end of Ohio with the waves going back and forth on the shore. The next sixteen counts represent the Ohio River going down and bending around the lower part of the state. Counts 17-32 are forming a heart as the active couples come up the center and then cast off around the inactive pairs returning to the new couple below to form the point on the bottom of the heart. The star certainly signifies that Ohio is indeed the center of Mid-America (The Heart of it All, and the ladies chain indicates the friendship that is shown from it's east to west borders. (A friendly handshake). *Note: If the singing call, DOWN BY THE OHIO, Grenn 12221 is used for prompting this dance, one must realize that it contains a 40 bar sequence of music and therefore a right and left thru over and back might be added to the above routine to make it fit the music. (Just a further indication of the friendliness that is found in the Buckeye state.)

Hugh has taken about 150 groups through their dosados and allemande lefts since 1955. His most memorable groups were the disabled from Marca School and Camp Help.

Hugh retired from farming in 1983, but still calls and teaches several nights a week. He also enjoys golfing and woodworking. And how was your 70th, Hugh? Helen says the party went on for a week.

We recently received a call from one of our regular cruisers asking what our 4th Annual Cruise would be. We told him that it would be 7 days aboard the spectacular new megaliner Ecstasy, Carnival Cruise Line's magnificent floating resort, almost 3 football fields long, 12 stories high, 70,367 "tons of fun", with 2200 passengers & 1000 crew members! He said, "Why, that's bigger than my hometown!"

The Ecstasy has more dancing space than any ship afloat, plenty of space even for a group our size. We'll have our usual scheduled daily dancing, and another dangle from some new Caribbean adventure!

If you've never cruised before, don't worry. With our toll-free number, you are welcome to call us as often as you have questions, and we'll be onboard to take care of all your needs! We want you to be part of our fun, so give us a call we would love to talk with you!
