"Rattle your Hocks and Pull Up Your Socks and all join hands and circle around" was
one of Merle's square dance calls.
"Sayle Hall used to really jump", says Gladys with her eyes sparkling.
Oh how Gladys loved to dance. She won The Charleston Contest in Broadus Montana
when she was 15 or 16.
The family used to go to dances all over the area. Merle would call the square dances,
Joyce, Dick and Jane would play the piano and accordian along with the band
and Gladys would dance.
Jack and Ted couldn't carry a tune so they'd kick up their heels with the rest of the crowd.
Yesterday Jane called and reminded Gladys of a song that she used to play on the
piano called "Whispering, Shifting Sands".
