Northern Junket was a magazine which Ralph Page edited from 1949 to 1984.
I've now started copying out the Squares he published there, sometimes with my own
comments and suggestions - I've finished Volume 1.
I know some of you dance and call Squares as well as Contras.
If you're interested, please read my page at:

and let me have any corrections and comments either through the list or by email.

Sounds like a monumental task, Colin. More power to you -- we need all the easily
accessible sources of good squares that we can put in place.

How neat! I have a few early copies I picked up as spares at Ralph
Page weekend and they make for fascinating reading.
Also, I had to explain to a twenty-something the other day why they
were "purple", which was fun.
They totally didn't believe me about sniffing fresh mimeographs.

Just to clarify: The Square Dance History Project functions independently from CDSS,
although there are certainly close connections: David Millstone, founder and curator of
the Project, is a CDSS past president, and CDSS helped fund the six-caller Dare To Be
Square weekend held at the Campbell Folk School in 2011, which was a sort of launch party
for the Project.
CDSS has a wonderful page about squares, originally put together by Nils Fredland, but
they seem to be making it harder to find. From the CDSS home page, go to Resources, then
Callers, then Reflections on the History and Evolution of Calling, then Introduction to
the Various Styles of American Square Dancing.
