Last Thursday night was graduation
night for 9 couples of the square dance
beginner class at the school gym,. These
couples were initiated into the club by
what Square Dancers call "Fun Dances”.
The following couples received their
diplomasj George & Pat Hall, Bill and
Bernice Moore, Rod & Marietta Miller,
Tom & Flo Needham, Don & Marcia Swank,
John & Wilma Miller, Glenn & Ilene
Baker, Lee & Elizabeth Coon, and Bill'S.
Joanne James. These couples are in for
a lot of fun in the future, knowing the
art of Square Dancing will make their
stay on Adak that.much more pleasant.
There was also plenty of food to eat
at the ’’Chuck Wagon”, and we want to
thank all the ladies for bringing end
preparing all the delicious food. While
I’m on the subject of Square Dance clns»
ses, I would like to let all you non
square dancers know that a how Beginners
Class will start February the 4th under
the instruction of Ralph Warncck at the
Village Gym. Ralph‘is a very good in
structor and caller, as he has done a
very fine job with the class ■that grad
uated last Thursday night. We would
like to have at least two squares (8
couples ) for this class and more if we
can get them, as the more people there
are, the more fun you will have. This
class is open to everyone on the Island
including the men in the barracks and
BB huts, school teachers, and also teen
agers. Wo regret to say that the teen
agers will have to be accompanied • by
their parents or responsible adult.
These classes will run for approximately
14 weeks. To register for the new class
call Ralph Warnock at Ex. 412 or John
Hampton Ex. 237 after 5:00 P.M. on week
days, anytime on week-ends. Or if it
would bo more convenient, just fill in
the registration blank at the end of
this article and drop it in the box
located in the lobby of the Navy Ex
change.
It was also decided at the dance last
Thursday night that due to the large
amount of bounce of the caller*s voice
and poor acoustics in the school gym,
that the Club will hold their regular
Thursday night dance in the Village Gym
untill -a better place can be found. So
remember, we. will dance in the VILLAGE
GYM next Thursday. • • •
