Shirts'n'Skirts began in 1969 when a group called the San
Gabriel Swingers met in the Fellowship Hall of the First United Methodist Church
in Georgetown . "Mr. Ed" Middlebrook was the caller for this club which danced
for approximately three years. Sometime during 1974 a group wanted to form
another square dance club and they hired Cecil Dunman to call. The new club was
named Shirts'n'Skirts. Cecil called for approximately five years and was
succeeded by Ed Larder, who called for more than ten years. Since 1991, Jim
Hayes has been our regular caller. In 1999 Jerry and Lucy Pate began cueing
round dancing for Shirts'n'Skirts and continue to do so today.
