Many. Hoosiers Still

KATY ATKINS IT IS GOOD on be home though a few signs of
spring would have been more welcome than the cold
rain that greeted me.
Lots of Hoosiers are still in Florida. Just before we left, Norman and Llewellyn Perry dined in a large party at our hotel. Norman Jr. was with them and is enthusiastic about his work in Miami where he is associated with Sam Griffith. Sam and Charlotte, having spent much time in Florida during the war, decided that they would settle there and are liking
it very much. The senior Perrys were staying at the Escape in Fort Lauderdale, after moving up from the Sea’ View in Bal Harbour. Oscar Perrine was among the guests the night we saw them. I was sorry to miss Carle Par#0NS WHO had been visiting his sister, Frances, and Dudley Pfaff. They gave a delightful party for him last Saturday afternoon. Carle has taught at Hotchkiss for many years and has many friends among the local alumni in addition to his contemporaries.

IF YOU ever played “The -
Farmer in the Dell” or “Ring-Around-the-Rosie” when you were a child, you know how
to square dance. For square‘
dances (or barn dances, as they're sometimes called) are actually simply games set to music. You just follow the directions given by the caller, ‘keep time to the music and have a lot of fun. What makes a square dance square is the arrangement (above, left) of the dancers. The average square consists of four couples. The one with its back to the orchestra is the first, or head, couple. - Each couple, of course, consists of two “partners.” When the caller says, “swing. your--lady” or “swing your own” he means the (turn) his own partner. When the caller talks about the “corner lady,” he means the lady to the left of the “gent.” One of the things

Some call them square dances, some call them barn

that makes square dancing fun is that you don't dance exclusively with your own partner all evening--you usually dance with all the

"the basic steps described in - this series, although there are
many different variations peculiar to each type. One of the most important things to master is the basic step called “swing your partner” (right). The couple holds a regular ballroom dancing position, although the man

The couple then swings around very fast, without moving from their “home”
position. Sometimes they place their right feet together, and use their left feet as pushers, giving’ them more speed as they zip around in circles. This is called the “buzz step.” Another common denominator of most square dances is the “honor your partner” movement, Hera each dancer steps bdck oné step. The man bows to the lady and the lady curtsies to the man. It is an informal movement, and need not be done stiffly.
