Mary Lynne and Bob Scherpf of Eugene, are spending spring Poet's corner SURE SIGN Dancers practice a t W illiam s and G re e n la w School o f Dance and Baton Take one pair of tap shoes, add one baton, mix in a gener ous dose of experience, flavor with patience and combine it all together with an eager student. While this recipe may not make an award winning souffle it is the basic formula Mr a. Beverly Williams and Mrs. Royalene Greenlaw are using to build a succussful school of dance and baton in Sheridan. The studio was a sort of nat ural outgrowing from the Willa- Mette tw irlers that Mrs. Green law taught and directed for three years. The tw irlers participated in community evepts including Phil Sheridan Days, Yamhill Derby Day and Newport Loyalty Days. The studio idea had been sug gested to the two women before, but it wasn’t until last August that it actually became a reality. Operating from their offices at 130 E. Main in Sheridan, Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Greenlaw are currently working on forming their Summer Parade Corps, a sort of natural outgrowth of the Willa - Mette tw irlers. The group will be available to perform at parades or other events. The group is open for those between the ages of 3 and 16. The two do have a feather in their bonnet, for at the Tuala tin Valley Valentine contest which was sponsored by the USDA. Around 300 girls from Oregon and Washington participated in the events. Of these Pam Pond of Grand Ronde was a first place winner in the solo twirl division. The events included military and basic strut and solo twirl routines. Mrs. Greenlaw was a majorette during her high school days and attended the Thunderbird Clinic of Baton. She is a certified USTA teacher. Mrs. Greenlaw feels that baton develops a girl’s poise as well as bringing out her ability to appear before the public as well as grace and personality. She also knows there are pro-’ fessional opportunities available for both boys and girls in the field. Mrs. Williams dancing career goes way back to when she was three years old. At that time she began to take dancing lessons which she continued to take through high school. She has owned studios in Aber deen and Hoquiam, Washington. Music has always been an im portant part of her life and she, plays the piano by ear. The two women agree that dance and baton compliment each other and are enthused about their work. The robins can’t be wrong. What though I see capricious flakes of snow Come hurtling down with silent shout? They’re only seeing winter out! The robins can’t be wrong. The robins court. Their ancient rite Precedes the swallows homeward flight When swallows come, why, Spring is here! We bless you, Robin Redbreast dear!
