Officers dance. Army officers at Fort Lewis and their wives enjoy square dancing in a July 28, 1954, photograph. Dressed in western garb, Lt. and Mrs. Bud Shell pass first under a human "bridge" made by LTC and Mrs. Walter Kinney. Lt. Dale Hoagland and his wife await their turn. Sixty military officers and their wives meet every Wednesday to square dance; time is also allotted to teach newcomers the steps. Square dancing was very popular in the 1950's and many dances were held with it as a theme. (TNT 8-1-54, p. D-7)
