I have a slightly different version to share; but have heard the same
explanation for the title.

Here's a fun twist.
"Hickman's Hey"
There is half a hey when you get the bottom of the hall, then you
finish the
hey when you get back home.
Hickman's Hey
A1 Down the Hall, four in line (Ones in middle)
½ Hey (Start facing in, ones pass right, End where partner was)
A2 Up the Hall
Finish the Hey
B1 One’s Allemande Left 1 1/2
Neighbor Swing
B2 One’s Balance & Swing
From what I can find out, Steve Hickman was the name of the person
who
collected the dance and he did not know the actual name, nor the
author.
Also, it seems that the B1 and B2 parts vary (the A1 and A2, being
what
makes the dance distinctive, do not), but this is how I learned it
and how I
call it.

Subject: [Callers] dances with down-the-halls
Hi Everyone - Many of our easier dances include down-the-halls, but
there
are so many ways to come back up! There's turn alone, and turn as a
couple
of course, but there's also sliding doors, right-hand-high-left-hand-
low,
loop-de-loop, cloverleaf. What are your favorite dances that
include an
unusual down-the-hall? I've thought of putting together a program that
highlights all the different ways to go down the hall. I think
there is a
wide enough variety in these dances that it could be doable without
boring
the dancers.
