any other admonition ever given
to a flock of park plan dancers.
They didn't know it perhaps,
but the constant motion inspired
by Billy Hoover kept those dane
ers in better humor (warmed up,
as the musicians called it) and
sold more dance tickets by the
strip than court order.
Later he was moved to the Pa
lais de Dance when that immense
palace was built. Bills style in
handling dancers didn't change
a bit. If it had the dancers
would have deserted him. AS it
was, he kept his huge follow
ing, and on the coldest Spring
days, without benefit of artifi-
cial warmth, he packed 'em in.
He could get anything he
wanted from the musicians who
worked for him. All he had to
do was ask. If they were churn-
ing out 16 dances an hour and
the traffic would stand 20, he
would come to the bandstand and
loconically ask: 'Smatter, boys?
Rheumatism setting -" The
result was instantaneous. Off
came a chorus and on went the
dance, and nobody knew the diff
ference, but the cashier. He was
master of everything on the
floor, but not in an apparent
self-important way. Bill knew
that self-importance is and was
an incurable sign of something
lacking. He lacked nothing that
was needed in his work.
He saw the Palais de Dance
turned into a convention hall and
a skating rink. Later he saw
the construction of the beautiful
Crystal ballroom. He gave way
to other dance hall managers and
it suited him fine. Dancing had
begun to lose some of it's friend
liness in public palaces anyway,
and in it's plare had taken on
frenzy.
Bill never gave up his identi-
fication with the "1ake" and what
it stands for. To him it means
meeting people, making friends
and enjoying life. Now he's in
charge of the parking lot ada
cent to Buckeye Lake Park. Too,
he spends a part of his time in
the promotional field. It's right
down his avenue.
Watch him some Sunday as he
hands out tickets to the parking
field. It's a safe bet that he'll
know by name one of the occu-
pants of at least rs per cent of
the cars passing his stand. That
one with the California license?
Yes, that included, providing
they've visited the lake before.
Bill never forgets a face. And
the people who have met Bill
never forget him either. Long
may he wave!

Coming about as close as any
body in maintaining perpetual
cheer is Billy Hoover, familiar
and more than popular figure,
who for the past 25 years or
more has been an integral part
of Ohio's (and particularly New
ark's) playground, Buckeye Lake.
He undoubtedly knows more
people-and no one will dispute
the assertion-by their first
name than any other one person
in Licking County. We would
go farther than that, but We'll
leave it there as an exploit suf-
ficient in itself.
We challenege you to be
"down in the dumps" when
you're talking with him. He has
an inexhaustable source of wit
that becomes endemic to say the
least. Epidemic would describe
it better. At one time or anoth-
er he must have established con-
tact with "The Fountain of
Youth" because there seems no
end to his vigor, vitality and
constant desire for mild katzen-
jammer.
The feeling those who know
him have for Billy is one of af-
fection. You can't hold a mere
acquaintanceship with the man.
A handshake sprouts friendship
at once and from there on it
grows.
We first knew him at what
was called the WALTON dance
hall at the lake. 1t is now Lake
