Smiths are now conduc ting square dancing classes at Stewart Beach in Galveston-plus, of course, their regular Thursday night session at the Pinfeather Club. When asked about her back ground In square dancings Nita stated that, “Being a West Tex an, I have either been square dancing or watching square dah- clng as long as I can remember.” As for Manning, ia comparative | newcomer of 10 years, he recalls first seeing square dancing at Camp Stewart, the hoys camp in Kerrville mn by former A. & M. line coach. Bill James. „ But regardless of which has been dancing the longest, the iSlniths .are considered to b^ one of the best couples doing eriiibition square dancing and quite naturally*, the beat of teachers. E vldenee of their excellence is beat illustrated by the .■ . " ■, ,..J .- a-, r r • . authority on square and folk dan cing, to attend his Cheynne Moun tain School this August In Color ado Springs, Cojlorado. ^ While' chatting with the Smiths about the ^numerous patterns or sets used in square dancing, such as “The Texas Star,” "Sally Good in’," and “The Wagon Wheel’’, we got into a discussion as to the rel ative merits of square dancing as compared with other forms of dan cing. Both Nita and Manning w'ere agreed that in no other form of dancing do you see such a spir it of good fellowship and whole some recreation. In fact, the Smiths were first prompted to start teaching square dancing chiefly because of their intense mutual interest in community recreation. ’ • . , , Manning, with his background in coaching and Scout work, and Nita with her work with Girl Scouts, dancing classes and the Cotton Pageant, of W’hich she has been director for several years, proved the ideal team to promote and sell the idea of square dancing for fun. ‘The Smiths have received many invitations from various groups outside this state to exhibit their square dancing ability. They have also officiated at the Alfalfa Fes- t i v a 1 in Hearne, the Madison- ville Sidewalk Cattlemen's Asso ciation, 1 the State Square Dance Festival and many other such gatherings. ffl y Hf?
