Carl Personke taught us this in the 6th grade at Captain Raymond Collins school in 1956, Long Beach, CA. He was a great teacher. After him they broke the mold.Thanks Mr Personke, where ever you are.

I'm a freshman and we're being forced to do this.

Yep, 6th grade here too. I guess it's the threshold for square dancing.

I learned this in the 6th grade at Captain Raymond Collins school in Long Beach in 1956 with Carl R Personke Jr teaching a group of eager students.
