no disputing the fact that this
form of recreation h
popular And. as part of their
week-long promotional effort
at Park City next month
from October 18 - 23. the
Ijtncasler County Farmers’
Association has chosen to
feature a professional
square dancing group, the
Grand Squares, as Thursday
evening’s entertainment
"We’re not really
professional” says Mrs Paul
Andrews 3358 Marietta
Avenue, Lancaster, the wife
and official secretary of the
group’s caller.
“We are just a club of
people who get together and
dance for our own en
joyment,” she says.
However, to a non-square
dancer, the requirements
which have to be met before
joining the club make the
word “professional” seem
accurate.
In order to join, a would-be
member must take classes
from September through
April to learn the
“language” of the calls.
Then, if a person’s progress
has been satisfactory, he
graduates m April, at which
time he is eligible to become
a member of the Grand
Squares.
“Classes are necessary
because the language is so
intricate,” explains An
drews.

Harold W. Ney, Marietta
Rl, who is on the board of
directors of the Lancaster
County Farmers
Association, was responsible
for engaging the square
dance group. A member of
the Grand Squares for
several years now, he and
his wife explained the allure
of this particular hobby.
