After so many years with the American Square , Mary Fabik is retiring. I be- lieve that Mary started at the same time the Burdicks purchased ASD those many years ago. Many thanks to Mary for all her work. In the column "Line of Fire," Les Gotcher presents A Bit of Square Dance History. Bob Osgood shares his thoughts in "CALLERLAB Viewpoints." Bob was the editor and pub- lisher of the other national publication, "Sets In Order" until his retirement in 1985. "It's 10 PM - Do You Know Where Grandpa Is?" is a delightful skit by Oel Futrell well worth reading. Square Dancing has gone Opera! Read Longhair Squares by Barb Jarvis and find out how.

Alaska. It calls to mind mighty glaciers, untouched forests, towering mountains and big square . But only if you're promenading on one of our 1994 Holland America Line Square Dance Cruises. For seven days, the leader in Alaska will show you everything that is The Last Frontier. The Inside Passage, Glacier Bay National Park, Ketchikan, Sitka. You'll also experience one-of-a-kind service, mouth-watering cuisine, and unforget- table memories-the kind you might expect from Alaska's only five-star* fleet. But most importantly, you can expect national callers like Mark Clausing, Phil Kozlowski, Vem Weese, Tom Miller and Mac Letson. And if you feel like dropping by the 1994 Square Dance Convention in Portland, Oregon, you can plan your cruise around the convention. Now keep in mind, there's only four square dance cruises, and space is limited. Plus if you book your cruise by February 18, 1994, you'll save up to $2,000** per couple. So see your travel agent today.

American Scuaredance, December 1993 21 Since December is such a whirlwind of one gathering after another, Christmas shopping and the every day business of living, I thought it appropriate to share something simple with you. I first tasted the following recipe for FRUITY DIP at a reunion a couple of summers ago with several lifelong girlfriends. We met at one of our friends' house for an all night visit, relaxing in her hot tub, catching up on each other's lives and reminiscing about our teenage years. Whenever I make this (which is frequently requested by one of my 10 year old twin daughters) I think of the wonderful time I enjoyed with some of my closest friends. If I could describe what Manna from Heaven might taste like, this would be it!

FRUITY DIP

Ingredients: 1 Large Package of Cream Cheese 1 Jar of Marshmallow Creme A mixture of fruits appropriate for dipping such as grapes, strawberries, slices of apples and pears, etc.

With electric mixer, mix cream cheese for about a minute (until softened). Add the marsh- mallow creme. Beat until smooth. Place in a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. I serve this by placing the bowl in the middle of a large tray and arrange the fruit around it. It's that easy! If you want to add a bit of color, just add a drop or two of food coloring while mixing. This is a recipe you can personalize with your own touch. V

36 Arrencan Squarectance, December 1993 by Bob Howell

EASY LEVEE%

Mae Fraley of Rockville, MD presented a find workshop for the Cleveland Area Call- ers Assodation this past Sepierribei. Ofie of the routines that she shared with those assembled is an old-time playparty.

JINGLE BELLS CIRCLE

Formation: Single circle, all facing center, hands joined. No partner necessary. Music: Jingle Bells Folkraft-1080x45A, Jingle Bells, Gold Star-GS713. Or may be sung by the dancers. Routine: Counts: 1-8 Slide to the left (chasse) 8 steps 9-16 Forward to the center 4 steps;backward to place 4 steps. 17-24 Slide to the right 8 steps 25-32 Forward and back again 33-48 Clap own hands 3 times in front, 3 times behind own back, 5 times in front. Turn alone once around in 8 steps. 49-64 Repeat counts 33-48.

Mae offers still another holiday routine which she says comes from Holland. She calls it - - -

SLEIGH RIDE - HOLLAND

Music: Any lively Christmas tune such as Jingle Bells which has two distinctive sections. Form: Dancers form "Coaches" of 2,3, or 4 persons: i.e. Two: Both face same direction, one in front of the other. Join both hands. Three: All face same way, one in front, two behind. All join hands. Four: Two in front and two behind. Pairs join inside hands with each other; join outside hands with other couple. The ones in front are the "reindeer."

While music plays the first part of the tune, sleighs run about at random. On the cho- rus or second part, sleighs stop and form a star or a circle and turn for 16 steps. Begin again with a new set of reindeer leading the sleigh.

American Squaredance. December 1993 37 Jean Siffin, the president of the Cleveland Callers group hosted Mae Fraley during her stay in Cleveland. Jean was inspired to write the following quadrille in honor of Mae's journey to the "North Coast." She entitled it - - - MAE'S QUADRILLE Formation: Square Music: Any 32 bar sequence going thru 4 times.* Routine: Counts: 1-8 All go forward and back. 9-12 All turn back to back with partner and walk out to the corner of the set.

From Kent, WA, Glen Nickerson shares a smooth moving dance with us this month.

56 Amencan Squaredance, December 1983 THE CALLER NOTE SERVICES

In the October issue of THE CANADIAN CONNECTION, Joe Uebelacker has some very good suggestions for use with teaching the new dancer. He says, "Once people have returned to your class for three or four sessions, YOU HAVE THEM until you don't give them a good time. How do you give them a good time? Let them DANCE!" He also says, "We build ATTITUDES! This is very important. If you have graduate dancers helping fill squares at your beginner classes, they must be completely friendly - no sour pusses." A lot of good material covering Cloverleaf is included in the Mainstream Program as well as some good workouts using "LIP Relay The Deucey from the Plus Program. Joe explains the CONCENTRIC CONCEPT saying, "This concept seems to give callers as much trouble as it does dancers. It isn't all that complicated." He gives you a good explanation with diagrams. All in all this note service reaches all callers in its makeup. Good material!

elIMPPF DANCETIME, Notes For Callers by Brad Carter, is certainly chucked full of good material for your use. He covers the Mainstream Quarterly Selection for Sept. 1 - Dec. 31 which is Acey Deucey. This call has been on the Advanced list for quite sometime, but is easy enough for most Mainstream dancers. He also presents to you the two most important "adjectives" callers should use. Leaders/trailers. He has included some very Vgood material for their usage. Throughout, from Grand Square to Pass the Ocean & Roll, to Diamond Chain Thru. He also has included singing calls that use the material in the notes.

In MI KESIDE MANAGEMENT (Stan & Cathie Brudick, Edi- tors), Bill Peters has some useful information in the Part II Choreographic Brinkmanship article. He talks about the many facets of calling difficult choreography and how the caller can help the dancers through it. Many of us do use helper words, but as Bill says, "It is important for callers to be aware that there may be a downside to Choreographic Brinkmanship. When callers are trying to help their dancers through an especially difficult piece of choreography, it often interferes with the correct timing of the calls or with the flow of the actions themselves." ,oseLP An important bit of information is found in the article by Jim Wheeler, Listening. He discusses what a lot of callers should do in order to know what the dancer wants. He says, "Remember, the goal of active listening is to find out what others are thinking." Stan has included some diagrams and comments on the Mainstream Quarterly Selection, Acey Deucey. He also has some Creative Choreo by Stan Bryan as well as lots of very good material in Notebook Stuff from Many Sources. In the September issue of the MINNESOTA CALLERS NOTES, Warren Berquam has a very good article called Defi- nitions of an "Entertainer" three of which he gives you; 1. To hold

58 American Souaredance, December 1993 In the October issue of MECHANICS, produced by Wayne Morvent, we have come across an interesting Mainstream idea called, Quadruple Pass Thru. Wayne has encluded several figures for you to use when you try it out. Another idea we were not so sure of, it is called Solar Circulate. However, it's worth a try by you callers. Wayne's Plus Galaxy is full of good material for your use. Among the basics used are Circulate 1&1/2, Spread, Roll, and Tripple Scoot 1&1/2. Don't forget to look over the Advanced section as well. Lots of good material for any caller.

In A.C.F. CALLERLINK, there is an outstanding discussion that covers Progressive Singing Call Modules. You have a choice to call the same figure and break all the way through the song, or you can offer . We quote, "At one time, some dancers could become quite offended when a guest caller "changed" one of their favorite songs. Now- days, most experienced dancers demand at least a certain amount of variety." We heartily agree! Lots of figures are included for your use. One discussion in this October issue covers the Dixie Style from a Double Pass Thru formation. Unless you have worked your dancers with this one, they will, more than likely, have difficulty with it. Some good choreography is included with this one, also. Lots of excellent material for you to use. V

The complaints have been that: We (CM should insure that all line dances are written on the phrase; the record that goes with each line dance should be on the instruction sheets; only one line dance be written for each song, etc. We look at each complaint and see the pain the caller is having and try to offer help, but we can not control the CW industry, nor do I think we would want that if we could. On the positive side we get calls on: CW Line dancing saving clubs; increased the class size; increase in the ease of One Night stands; increase in fun and self confidence, etc. This is a wonderful experience and shows, pro or con, dancers like to communicate, which is good for the activity.
