Square Dance
Time

The Diamond State Twirlers
square dancing. We have had some
fine calling and even though the
temperature got way up there" on
the outside, everyone was very
comfortable dancing inside at the
air conditioned bowling lanes. We
are now eagerly looking forward to
the fall season that is before us.
Our first fall dance will be held
this Saturday evening, September
16, and two tOp-notch callers will
be on hand Herb Kerp and Carl
Haderer. From past experience,
dancing to these callers, we know
an evening of fun is in store for
us, so let's all come out and get
this first dance of the fall season
off to a good start.
OF much interest to those who
think they would like to learn to
square dance, First Nighters"
dance will be held this Friday
evening. September Is. at the Mil
ford Bowling Lanes, $50 p. NJ.
This dance will be free to all those
who would like to see for them
selves just what square dancing is
all about You will have a chance
to dance to simple squares called
by Herb Kerp and meet some of
our club members. No previous
dancing experience is necessary.
Everyone is welcome, so come out,
leave all those cares behind, and
have an enjoyable evening. We
know you will find it interesting
and class will be starting soon
for those who want TO learn more.
Nine couples from the Diamond
State Twirlers attended a dance
held by the Country Squares of
Riva, Maryland. September 8, with
Lee Billow. calling. Those couples
who reported having a most enjoy
able time were the RoOsas, Coopers,
Holloways, Widdowsons, Morgans,
Peppers, Smiths, Gains and Dick
ersons.
Now that summer is over, the
"travelin' Lamberts" are back on
the road. Saturday night was the
Kickoff" party for the Cannon
balls square dance club in Airing
ton. Virginia; and despite the
warm evening, "Decko" Deck was
right i'm there with calls for
terrific opening scrimmage. Ban
ners, penants, etc. floated from the
walls: while out in the center of
the floor reposed football half
way between goal posts at both
ends of the hall. Carnations and
penants for the name tags added
to the theme; and. while these little
attentions to decoration don't
necessarily make better dancers.
they do add to the overall enjoy
ment of the evening.
The Lamberts were overnight
guests at the Village House Motor
Hotel in Falls Church; and. after
the dance, Lou and "Decko" Deck
and Lillian and Bob Custer (who
heads up a Waynesboro, Virginia,
club met there for an "into-the-
wee-hours" hashing session on
square dancing. These little get
togethers are always interesting
and quite often helpful in airing
out ideas and opinions.
The monthly WASCA board meet
ing was held on Sunday at the
home OF Board member Morris
Seltzer, in Silver Spring, Maryland.
AS Vice-president of this Associa-
ton. the Lamberts will be glad to
answer any questions regarding
same from club members. Plans
for the Spring Festival are fast
shaping up and, to all appearances,
it will again be terrific affair.
