American Squaredance, October 1985 Fortieth Anniversary Year 3 When in the course of human events, controversy arises and problems loom, a feasible course might be to examine some self-evident truths. We fully realize that our self-evident truths may not be the same as yours, because our experi ences have varied, but some of the following are often seen and heard throughout the SID world of conven- tions, seminars and panel discussions. *Square dancing is FUN. *"U" are the center of that FUN. * Folks become square dancers be- cause their friends invite them to classes. * Square dancers are special people.

MIXER/RED SOX RAMBLE by Campbell & Howell 4 Fortieth Anniversary Year American Squaredance. October 1985 Our October authors are predominantly callers. Imagine these busy folks finding BY-LINE • time to sit down and share their ex- \1\ • periences, their thoughts, their advice and their expertise with ASD readers. The ar- o ticles written by the four are very different in theme and mood. Don't miss a one! Al EbIen's name is a familiar one to readers. A retired law officer, he now lives and calls in south Texas. Walt Cole is another retiree, an entomologist turned caller, who converted a church to a S/D hall, and spent the summer of '85 painting his house. Al Scheer, also retired, keeps his hand in calling in Colorado. Ed Foote, full-time caller, always seems to have time to put pen to paper, both for his newly-acquired note service and for articles. The distaff side is represented by poet Mary Heisey and square dancer/club officer/professional writer, Betty Rosian. Our attractive Canadian cover couple, Les and Marg Edwards strike a traditional pose near Toronto. (More details on Page 92.) Speaking of traditional, what is traditional and what is modern? Inside insights may be found in Meanderings by Stan. Cartoonist Mag- gie Wade (back cover) comes from Ferrum, Virginia, where she tells about a unique ex- perience. For her college physical education exam, students had to pair off, two-by-two, with Franklin Squares members, dancing together to really learn properly. (Smart in- structor!) That's October.
