August 1985 Fortieth Anniversary Year 3 One of the most exhilarating ex- periences in square dancing comes when a partner really knows how to swing, and for a brief moment the two of you whirl around, feet barely "buzzing" the floor on each beat. This may be as close to space flight as your earthbound co-editor is ever going to get! We wish all of you could share the feeling, be- cause to us this is one of the highlights of dancing. As American as motherhood and apple pie, the good old-fashioned swing has always been an in.tegral part of our square dancing. However, it took our recent trip and dancing with three clubs in Europe to make us realize that dancers there are still enjoying the end-of-the-call swing that has almost died out in the States. When a caller/dancer from New Hamp- shire and a dancer from Rhode Island a promenade when the caller said ended a tip with a hearty, lean-back-and- Swing. This left us feeling deprived of a enjoy-the-whirl swing at a dance in good swing opportunity as well as a lit- Heidelberg, Germany, it was one of the tle confused as to the direction in which high points of the trip!

An awkward maneuver, to partner said, "You really know how to say the least! swing!" and went on to discuss the vir- Bring back patriotism, salute mother- tues of leaning back rather than into a hood, bake an apple pie, clean up the swing.

August 1985 Authors new to these pages and authors whose names are "household words" appear in these August pages. BY-LINE Every time Jo Jan Nunley has written an article, readers write to express their agreement. This month she writes of the new beginners with thoughts to be digested as we look ahead to a new Si() season. Louise Cole's surname is a familiar one but this is the first time she has appeared in the pages of ASD. Here is a presentation Louise made at LEGACY VII, a very well done one, with more thoughts for the new season. If you're thinking of spending your new season in a new climate, Clark and Ginger McDowell paint an enticing picture of south Texas. The McDowells are round dance cuers who will be traveling on their first ASD cruise next year. Sadly we printed the obituary of Dorothy Shaw earlier this year. No more fitting elegy could be written than Karen Utter's story of her motivation for building Long Shadows— our "Plumb Line" feature this month. Carol White shares a heartwarming experience with our readers. So many square dancers have felt the love and caring and friendship so often expressed between those in this activity, that we wonder why petty differences are causing so many problems. Interesting point to ponder as you soak up the August sun... 1 ASD Tours 23 Double J Services 45 Maverick Enterprises 67 Sewing Specialties 2 Ashton Electronics 24 EEI Graphics 46 Merrbach Record Service 68.
