A version of the jitterbug figure to "Captain Jinks" appears
on page 5 of _IOCA Barn Dance_ (1942). See
https://squaredancehistory.org/items/show/1628
"IOCA" stands for "Intercollegiate Outing Club Association." See
page 24 of the 2006 Ralph Page Dance Legacy Weekend Syllabus
https://www.library.unh.edu/special/forms/rpdlw/syllabus2006.pdf
for the story of how Ted Sannella got his start as a caller during
an IOCA-sponsored event in the Adirondacks. IOCA is apparently still\an active organization. See
http://www.ioca.org
However, I don't know how much of a role, if any, traditional
dancing still plays in the activities of IOCA or its member
organizations.
