Secretary of Dance Group Irene Popp, Publicity Directors Heien Csontos, Stephen Huziänyi. The new officers were sworn into office by Mr. John Szálánczy President of Branch 96. Our new president, Mr. Szénás­­sy, is a very capable and well liked person, and we look forward to a great year under his guid­ance. The meeting was adjourned and a Christmas Party for the juvenile members as well as for the grown­ups followed. Gifts for the children were distributed; refreshments and soft drinks were served. The music was furnished by Imre Sütő, a Verhovay member. All who were present, enjoyed themselves and a good time was had by all. s * * Branch 503 started the ball rolling for 1940 with their An­nual Dance held Saturday, Jan­uary 6th at the Harmony Hall. It was a happy success. The films taken by Mr. Balogh with the Verhovay Winner Group of 1939 on their trip to Europe were 3hown. Scenes included Budapest, Csájta, Debrecen, Hortobágy, Kassa, Krasznahorka, Lillafüred, Miskolc, Munkács, Nagysimonyi and Szom­bathely. Imre Süttő and his well known orchestra played into the wee hours of the morning. The delegation from West Pull­man, Branch 96, five cars loaded strong, lost no time in making themselves at home. We also no­ticed many familiar faces from Bianch 164 and the Vend Magyar organization of Chicago. We wish to thank everyone who participated in any way. We also wish to thank Mr. Joseph Hollerback, a Verhovay member and a mortician, locat­ed at 525 Armitage Avenue, who was so kind as to take charge of the films, Mrs. Szénássy who was in charge of the kitchen and did a giand job of it, assisted by Mrs. Balogh, Mrs. Benzinger, Mrs. Szaj, Mrs. Tiinko and Mr. Geletei, who took care of the door, Mr. Szabó, Mr. Papp, Henry Miller, John Stampar and Anton Kovach, who were on the go all evening at the bar; also Charles Dobra and Ernie Kunstadt of Branch 164 who gave a helping hand. Mr. John Szénássy who helped sell chips, Mrs. Balogh, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Fury, Mis. Horvath, Mrs. Penzinger, Mrs. Talaber, Mrs. Hu­bert and Mrs. Stanko for their donations. * * * The members of Branch 503 welcome Mr. Eugene Petrovits and his family who transferred over from Branch 164. We feel that they will be an asset to our branch, judging from the fine job Mr. and Mrs. Petrovits did in handling all the cash at our dance. ABOUT PEOPLE YOU KNOW Mr. Balogh, made the kolbász for the dance and received many compliments. Stephen Huziänyi received six briefcases for Christmas.

Ann Csontos is starting the New Year with a Retreat at the Cenacle, than cutting her hair and starting life anew. And, gentle readers, looking in­to a mirror I discovered my nose is sweating! Heck! That means that’s all this month from HELEN CSONTOS.-------------O------------­There ate brown, red, green and even black honeys, besides the honey known in America which is whitish with yellow tinge. * * * When a fox slinks through n field, crows pur­sue him, cawing vociferous­ly.

Jan. 14, 1949 To Verhovay Journal Dear Sirs—­Taking up where Mr. Frank Szopko, the Mgr. of the Detroit Baseball Club, left off on inter- District Baseball League Organiza­tion, I think a satisfactory ar­rangement can be worked out along a plan similar to the one following: 1) A 10 Team League in each district or districts if more than one is needed to form the league. This would make a 20 game season on a home and home game plan with each team. 2) A team may be sponsored by one or more branches. 3) Each team or it’s sponsors would be required to sell 10 to' 15 thousand dollars worth of In­surance to keep its franchise from year to year. 4) Each team then would re­ceive $200 to $300 from the Home Office for equipment and travel­ing expenses. 5) The winners of each game must send in the box scores of each game not later than Monday after each game to be printed in the Verhovay Journal. This would be a check on each teams players as to their membership. 6) All players must be in good standing with their dues and of 6 months or more duration. 7) A National plat off would be arranged for the district winners to held at the end of the season at Pittsburgh to determine a Na­tional Verhovay Champion. The traveling expense to be paid by each team. The Hotel and meals by the Home Office. 8) Some of the other ways of raising finances by a team would be dances, card parties, raffles and in some cases gate receipts or by selling Booster tickets. The above is just a crude out­line that needs more addition and suggestions from other baseball enthusiasts, ball players, Managers and the help of the Board of Directors. The Russian and Slovak Sokols have District competition — why can’t the Hungarians? Enclosed you will find Sport page headlines that the Lorain Verhovay Baseball Team Br. 372 received in the Lorain Newspapers. Some darn good advertising. Fraternally yours JULIUS CHASZAR, Pres. Br. 372. Pupils of Norma Jean Brady's Dancing School Entertain Junior Members of Branch 96 at a Christmas Party Branch 96 of Chicago sponsored its third annual Christmas Party for their Juvenile members Sun­day, December 24, 1939 at Prokop’s Hall which was •beautifully de­corated in Holiday fashion by the very capable Mr. Bertalan Erdély who was assisted by several se­nior members. About 3:00 p. m. the Hall was crowded to capacity with Junior members, their pa­rents, grandparents and friends who were in a jovial mood prompt­ed by Mr. Soderling’s splendid renditions at the piano before the official opening of a very enter­taining program prepared by the Arrangement Committee. At 3:30 p. m. Mrs. Louis Sabo opened the program by expressing her appre­ciation for the large attendance and conveying her felicitations; she then presented Mr. John Sa­­lancy, President of Branch 96 and one of the newly elected Ver­hovay Directors, who wished every­one present a very Merry Christ­mas and a Happy New Year. He turned the program over to Mr. Joseph E. Bertalan who carried on as Master of Ceremonies, who called on Miss Lenore Soltész to lead the congregation in singing “Jingle Bells”. She was assisted at the piano by Mr. Soderling. The first number on the pro­gram was a Solo by Miss Soltész. She sang “O Holy Night” and “Ave Maria’’ accompanied by Mr. Soder­ling. She was followed by June Blaek who sang “An Apple for the Teacher” and tap danced to the same tune. Our own little “Bobby Breen” in the person of Stephen Schuster, Jr. was next on the program who enchanted the audience with his songs “If I Knew Then” and “South of the Boarder”, accom­panied by Miss Dorothy Cook at the piano. A tap dance number by the Twins, Camille and Mildred Rago who were followed b a violin and piano duet by the Buczko Brothers. An amusing Scare-crow tap dance by Betty Jane Gustafson was followed by one of our young er songsters, Carole Mae Jacobs, age six, who sang “Come all ye Faithful’’ and a very lovely Hun­garian number titled “Karácsony­fa”. She was encored and sang "Away in a Manger”. A jump rope tap dance by Dor­othy Gustafson was followed by our own three year old Arthur Krumrei who thrilled the audience with his Hungarian recitation: “Én kis morzsa, gyenge rózsa, Nem jártam az iskolába Még is tudom azt a verset A kis Jézuska ma született.” Betty Jane Phillpot entertained the audience with a splendid Tap Dance Number. Florence Hegedűs played Hun­garian songs on the Piano, and was followed by Tommy Jager, age four, who sang “Az a szép, az a szép, akinek a szeme kék.” Five charming little girls por­trayed the “Quints” in the next tap dance number. They were, Adeline Kubickis, Jacqueline Camp­bell, Betty Lou Dean, Dolores Cummings and Betty Jane Gus­tafson. After “Silent Night” and “The First Noel” were sung by the congregation with Miss Soltész leading and Dorothy Cook assist­ing at the piano. Everyone sang “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”. The children were told to sing very loud so Santa Claus would hear them, sure enough, who came thru the door but the jovial fellow himself, in the person of none other than Mr. Andrew Tinich, who portrayed the role to per­fection, much to the enjoyment of the children. Then Santa Claus distributed his gifts to everyone present, young and old alike. Branch 96 wishes to take this opportunity in expressing its ap­preciation to Miss Norma Jean Brady, who, without a moment hesitation, very graciouly consent­ed to present the pupils from her Dancing School on our program. Last but not least, credit must be given to our Junior members who contributed their share to make our program the success that it was. We were very happy to see Branch 164 and Branch 503 well represented at our Christmas Party. LOUIS SABO. Branch 96. Juvenile Mgr.
