The young farm folks of the county have been having a great
time during the late winter and early spring at supervised recreational
meetings. Here they have learned to do folk dances and to hold square dances.
H.W. Dameron, assistant farm agent, says the square dance craze is really
sweeping Cleveland County.
About 150 young folks attended the leadership schools so
they might teach the various dances in their neighborhoods. They use such tunes
as the Grand March, Right Hands Around, Ocean Wave, Chase That Rabbit, Odd
Couple Around and Take a Peep, Virginia Reel and Stoop.
The recreational meetings have been held by the local 4-H
Clubs on Tuesday and Friday nights and have proven to be one of the most
popular things the young folks have sponsored. Mr. Dameron says one has only to
mention that a recreational program is to be held and a crowd will be there.
