The get-together took place at the American Hungarian Home. Only more attractive than the beautifully decorated hall were the costumes of the young folks who presented an array of varied colors and dress. The youngsters helped catch the apple and grape-pilfering culprits, taking them to “judge” Louis Beszedes who imposed a petty fine and was assisted by his “secretary,” Mrs. Joseph Vámosi. Prizes were awarded to Miss Therese Jean Rasey, Miss Virginia Agnes Kuti and Miss Carol Anne Zuroske, first, second and third, all members of Branch 278.
