Close to 30 women and one
man attended the first in a se
ries of line dancing classes held
in the Gregory Forum on Jan. 8.
The class, sponsored by
American Association of
Women in Community Colleges:
Focus On Women, was taught by
Leslie Woods. She taught dances
including “Swingin” and “Wild
Wild West.” Woods started
teaching line dancing at a
women’s weekend retreat be
cause she loved to dance.
“It was just a lot of fun,”
Woods said. “People thought I
did a good job teaching and so
I’ve been asked several times to
do it.”
Line dancing is not some
thing Woods does for a living.
Woods, a former fourth grade
teacher, is now involved in a
project to bring music to chil
dren in hospitals. She teaches
line dancing two or three times
a year or when her friends ask
her to.
“It’s just a hobby,” Woods
said. “It’s fun.”
The room was filled to the
point that the dividing wall had
to be opened between rooms in
order to increase space for danc
ing.

three line dancing classes to be held on campus.
gized and upbeat as everyone
waited for the class to begin.
Dancers included CCC fac
ulty members and students, as
well as people from the surround
ing communities.
Reasons for taking the class
were varied. One group of women
was taking the class to learn new
dances. A few were taking the
class so they could get in shape.
However, the most popular rea
son was that line dancing is fun.
“I’m single now,” said a
woman named Pam. “I don’t
have a partner.”
Judy Tibbles, another par
ticipant in the class, is a tap
dancer, “It’s part of expanding
my knowledge of my own art
form,” she said.
The night turned out to be
very successful and fun for the
dancers. The attendance was
beyond expectations.
Two more classes are
scheduled on Mondays Jan. 22
and 29 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Classes are being held in the
Gregory Forum. Cost is $3 at
the door and the class is open
to everyone.

CCC President John Keyser
was shaken up when his vehicle
and another collided at the cor
ner of 14th and Washington on
Friday, Jan. 5.
Keyser was not injured in the
accident and the driver of the sec-,
ond vehicle received only a mi
nor injury to the head. Keyser
called her at home last Wednes
day night.
“That was the thing I was
most concerned about was her
injuries,” Keyser said. “She had
' a small laceration over her eye.”
As Keyser was making a left
turn from Washington St. onto
14th St., the vehicle in front of
him obscured his view of the on
coming car. Both drivers had no
time to react before the impact.
Both vehicles were totaled.
“You can never be too care
ful or alert when you are driving,”
Keyser said.
No decision about the Jeep
has been determined yet. Insur
ance estimates are still coming in
on both vehicles.

college services for Clackamas
Community College, died on Dec.
31, 1995 at age 71.
A memorial service was held
in remembrance at Finley’s Sun
set Hills Mortuary Chapel in Port
land on Jan. 4.
Ryan was the college’s first
Business Manager beginning here
in Sept. 1966. Ryan played a big
part in the beginning and devel
opment of the college.
“Bill was very good with
numbers,” said Gary Dirrim cur
rent Dean of College Services.
“He had a lot of energy and was
able to set the fiscal conservative
philosophy that the college is ex
hibiting today.”
After working for the college
for 23 years, Ryan retired in 1989.
Dirrim described Ryan as
“broad in his knowledge,” and a
pleasant person to work with.
The family suggests remem
brances to the college foundation
