them to do on a Friday night for a while lenat the St Johns Parish Hall In one of the spots in On tario Elvis Presley Simon and Ijconnrd Cohen oral other nnmc recorders fust music slow music Jazz tempo hard rock slow you name and it was there for the suited hours of straight dancing to take young people right through from last Friday night until 1100 of the Saturday following Good start Well It got off to a good start fair enough But the new in novation Instead of marathon walks hadnt been considered the challenge it turned out to bo The Idea was first concocted by the young people when they heard of a similar type dance marathon held at Beach They Jumped Into it with all feet lining up sponsors weeks ahead deciding what they would do with the millions they would make when they made It and setting up and refreshment committees who would be willing to stay with them throughout the small hours of night time spells Change the rules Allowing minute breaks for every two hours of dancing the young people played It by ear and part way through the beginning of the doncetime they changed the rule to a break every hour for seven minutes with ham burgers cookies hot dogs and chocolate bars being prepared as energy res to rants and handed out free from the store of food which had been donated by worthy patrons The purpose of the whole thing There were those who dropped In to the hall out of curiosity to watch the kids for a while and mumbled something about Whats with these kids anyway If theyd get out and do something useful like shovelling dirt or raking some guys back yard it would be a heck of a lot more worthwhile others shrugged and moved out Weary watchers There were of course a few spectators who sat and watched the whole of events right through until the small hours of the morning and even by a m the worn tired still had a captive audience of one or two weary watchers determined to sit it through to see who the winner would be And if the dancers feet were numb imagine the fate of the poor viewers who had nothing better to do than sit and watch on hard chairs throughout the nighttime sojourn Went numb Well its over now Kids kept flaking out consistently after the first couple left the floor at 2 a m Their feet were the calves on the back of their legs were sore and paining Many youngsters said afterwards that at one point their whole bodies from the waist down were numb According to some final par ticipants the fast music which usually rejuvenated the dancers acting as a stimulant when they were dull and sleepy finally couldnt even do its Job When the fast music was beating out its loud quick tempo the dancing feet could only respond by shuffles The continual feet must be moving at alt times rule took Its toll and gradually one by one the couples left the floor and by 9 oclock on Saturday mor ning only four couples were left to greet the early morning audience who dropped in to the St Johns Hall to see how the competitors were surviving Fight break Even a brawl which occurred sometime around midnight the night before when outsiders had tried to usurp the local dance did not deter or stop the dancers from continuing on and as the RANDY of Guelph are beating It out to one of the heavy sounds of Steppenwolf floor dead beat tired and not a little disillusioned So that thats what everyone was talking The remaining were too tired to stick it out even a little longer to find out who really had won Still wondering Debbie Hurtling was one of the finalist dancers accompanied by Tom Ronnie Death and Ann Wlckham Joanne Selm and Buzzle Ellis Dlanne and Brian Given were the other three couples How the executive will determine the final winners of the event is difficult to Imagine Hopefully they netted all told at least some most of It to be used for charitable causes But most of all they tried This game group of teenagers who little else in the Village to took forward to by which to utilize all their marvellous youth ful energies least tried to find some constructive way in which to use them up Maybe the Recreation Com mittee can come up with a better way like basketball teams or bowling swimming lessons or anything that would provide an outlet for exuberant energies curious crowd outside about the fighting participants dancers continued to move their feet to the time of the music as lliey lined up and pro red with curiosity through the Windows to sec what they could of the street fight which was quickly quelled by observant chnperones Bruce ljgan Bolton Hamilton John John Clark Miriam Chris Sinclair Wendy Gray Sandy Root and Pauline assisted in changing records preparing food and keeping the dancers organized and on the floor Several were arranged Tor including Mr and Mrs David Howe Mr and Mrs Ray Kills Mr and Mrs Dick Strong Mr and Mrs David Schneider Catharine Meredith and Florence and Mr and Mrs George Ingle Several other names were also on the list for wouldbe adult accompanists throughout the Saturday af ternoon and evening however by 11 am that morning the remaining eight people on the dance floor Just took a seven minute break and walked off the Terrible thought Meantime if you ask the kids If theyd ever enter another athon for charitable reasons or for uncharitable ones theyd likely reiterate what the others are saying Golly Im not so sure I could stand another one Me Id be afraid that it might be like an overdose of potato chips Too much of a good thing can turn you away from it for life and wouldnt It he sad to sec a whale generation of young people who couldnt stand the thought of dancing because theyd had too much of it when they were younger Comins and Goins Heartiest congratulations from hometown residents are extended to Moira
