Westhoffs Sent Off with Never
A Dull Moment
(By Frank Shilston)
Cali eight balance and all eight
swing. A left allemande and right
hand grand"
When you hear this sing-song
echoing down the hall and observe
95 percent participation you know
that people are having good time.
And this is exactly what happened
out at Willard recently. The oc.'
casion was a sendoff for Midland
man Bill Westhoff and his wife by
directors and managers of Midland
districts III and w. Bill who Is
now fieldman in District I, Is ex-

ticipation in the squares. but also
in the story telling, singing games
and folk dances.
There was never dull moment
from eight to midnight. On arrival,
attendees began to amuse them
selves with games like pommawon-

Handy Game Chest. When nearly
all had arrived, singing games
were the order, and these contin-
ued until lunch time at ten. Broad
grins were manifested as the
group bowed in Ach ia, grabbed a
partner in Turning the Glasses
Over and rode the merry-go-round
in Carrousel.
After lunch came more fun.
julie Eystad started 1t when he
told a joke about everyone he in
troduced. And many shot back
with as good as they got. Then
came a grand march or, shat big
snake dance" as one member put
it. A circular two-step mixed
people up all ways.
What struck me about the whole
affair was the full participation
and the good humor. In such an
atmosphere it was impossible to
be the enemy of, or feel bitter to-
ward, someone else. Bitterness
