FORWARD, SIDE, CLOSE “Well, how am I supposed to know what to wear? I’ve never been to one of these stupid things before. Can't I just call one person, Mom?” I really did not think that the idea of dancing class was stupid. On the contrary, I could hardly wait for the moment it started, but I wanted to get the point across to Mom that it was absolutely necessary to call someone, preferably everyone, about the clothing to be worn. She soon gave in, and from then on, starting at about four o’clock every Wednesday afternoon, our telephone was in constant use. The idea was to dress as much alike as possible without having identical outfits, and our teacher. Miss Severs Miss Barbara to us- stressed the point that white gloves were only proper. The Ballroom was a large spacious room with a piano in one comer and a huge mirror on one whole side wall -marvellous for primping. It was here that the nerve-racking process of being chosen to dance took place. There was usually a mad rush for one girl; then as the victor would proudly walk off, the defeated ones would drift to other girls and drag them out onto the flooor. Then a piping voice would cheerfully greet us. Good evening, boys and girls. Take your partners into dance position. Forward, side, close; back, side, close.” After a strenuous night of “side closes” our last partner would escort us to dac drug store next door. If you were lucky, you would get to sit down, but even after all the boys had given up their seats for girls, many would still be standing on their exhausted feet. The boys would treat us to anything, but if you selected something costlier than a cherry coke, you could count on not being chosen by that boy again. Sometimes this system worked out just perfectly. After you had wormed your way out of the crowd surrounding the soda fountain, you could either rush right out to your car or stick around” with your partner. If you chose the latter, you would probably be treated to something like candy. However, if the former was your choice, die boy would quickly catch on and never give you an op- portunity to try this stunt on him again. I was a member of a car pool; so when everyone was finally rounded up. we would politely say thank you to our escorts and then go out to the car. As soon as we were out of earshot, each event of the night was told and retold in each girl's own words. “Is Bob ever queer! He asked me to the movies tomorrow! (A school night.) “Of course I said no, but we're going Saturday instead.” Slowly the carpoolers would be dropped off at their houses and the conversation would die down only to be reopened the next morning in school. The biggest event of our sixth grade dancing class was the big final recital. All Miss Barbara's students were included in this program, and each girl had her very own partner, who had asked her, for die whole evening. Our parents and friends were all invited to come to see us show off our many talents in the line of ballroom dancing. The per- formance was a success, and only one girl lost her shoe throughout the whole evening! To us all, our sixth grade dancing class was a wonderful extra pleas- ure. Nothing could keep us from our weekly party - not even four feet of snow! We learned to have good manners as well as how to dance and get along with boys. This was a valuable experience for us all, and, when the classes stopped for the year, there was a great hole in our schedule for Wednesdays that could never quite be refilled. . . . Cindy Higgins
