1954 / Verhovay Journal

Verhovay FORTY AND EIGHT NEW YORK’S NEWS AND VIEWS Memories, memories, dreams of days gone by — fond memories of course — physical things such as an identification tag, an album and a bus schedule are all that are left of the tournament — but the won­derful event will live on in spirit forever, at least for us. I, for one, (shall never forget it, and had you looked for me Decoration Day, I assure you, you would have indeed found me down at the sound, soak­ing two very tired and sizzling feet! I reálly believe the water became a few degrees warmer after meeting up with those battered tootsies. But never say die is our motto, and if that orchestra were still playing we do’ believe we would still be danc­ing — that bunny hop was really quite interesting, wasn’t it? Our thanks go to the young lady who led-' the line. Where to start telling those of you who were not present at the grand affair all about it is indeed a dif ficult task. The previous issue of the Journal had the most complete coverage on it, that all I can add are little side issues. We met peo­ple by the score — gave up counting after a while, and we must say that a wonderful group of ladies and gentlemen assembled under one roof —- was an impressive sight and it was indeed a pleasure to meet you all! I felt very bad to hear that there were many of you who were looking for me and didn’t find me. I was in the registration room quite a bit, on the dance floor a lot and at the buses often. But perhaps we can meet at the next tournament city — and I really envy the city that is going to be lucky enough to be hosts to you swell people. It’s ex­citing planning for the event — fun working for it, ami the tension as it rolls into the last lap is exilerat­ing, at least we found it to be so — and then the huge relief when you know all is going to be OK after all, and then you ean all relax and join in the fun. Of course someone is^ bound to stop you to complain about something, but to you it all se'ems so trivial by then that you wonder how anyone could find any­thing to complain about with all the happy faces, people having fun danc­ing and just being companionable. On the whole, we think everyone enjoyed himself immensely and loved every minute of, it. We know we did. I must admit to being guilty in not personally awakening that young man in time for the bus, and gosh darn it to add insult to injury, I can’t remember what city he and his wife came from, but listen pal, lets make amends. Perhaps I can make it up next time. I really did not mean to slip up on you, but gosh, a - gal’s got to get some sleep too, you know! So please won’t you for­give me and let’s be friends!? I especially want to say “thank you” to the gentlemen from Chicago, again my memory fails me as to branch number, but perhaps they will recognize themselves when I tell them they were the gentlemen who were satisfied with every place 've recommended to them. The re­staurants met their high standards, and just about anything I recom­mended they followed the sugges­tions and were pleased. I found them to be most personable and thorough gentlemen in every way, and I want to congratulate the ladies of Chicago on sending such fine folks to the tournament; not that We have complaints about anyone, but that group was particularly outstanding. Come to think of it, weren’t they going to take us to the Chardas? Hmmm, never did get there! We hope too that all is for­given between Toledo and us — sor­ry boys, for not recognizing “’Beauti­ful Ohio,” but I’m a city gal from way back and recognize New York’s theme song only. So let’s call it a truce even if you were “sitinedowns” at the dance. Our congratulations to the win­ners of the top cash awards and trophies. In fact,, congratulations to all , you winners. They were tough alleys and }rou all did fine. I hope you all noticed how well New York did, too — walked off with quite a few honors and some of the cash. I don’t want to brag but even my better half did all right for him­self. No doubt Joe Toma will be around to collect for back dues and such, so hide the dough, boys. In­cidentally, those gals in the N. Y. branch who would be interested in joining a girls league this year — suggested you send your name and address either to me or A1 Ibos, and also state the evening you would prefer to bowl. Don’t suggest Tues­days as I think the alleys are quite full on that evening. Let’s see what we can do this fall. Perhaps wre shall be good enough to go the next tour­nament, give the boys something to REALLY talk about. We’ve listen­ed to them complain or crow long enough (Oh my aching knee, or my sore thumb, or that ball doesn’t fit). Well, all you aching backs had better beware, because we intend to show you how to really roll ’em (we hope). So gals, drop me a line if interested and we shall get to work on the lists, etc. Before we go any further, I want to thank the employees at the Home Office for what we think was the most perfect and smoothest running schedules possible. Working at the registration desk was made much easier because of the hard work done beforehand; working with Mr. Sabo, in’ seeing that all the envelopes were ready and all the necessary material assembled in them. We know of no error made in all those envelopes, and if it were up to me, a medal I would give to each of thee. YOUR’E a GRAND group and it was swell meeting you all. I hope to see you all again in Pittsburgh, which we hope to visit within the next few weeks. Ernie, the boys and yours truly are going to “hit the road” and take all our friends up on their invitations and go visiting. We hope to be in Chicago by early August, and if anyone has anything he or she wants to go back to New York, we shall be most happy to ac­commodate. I shall contact the Ver­hovay office there in case someone has a message to send, or better still, we shall be able to be reached at 6556 S. Talman Ave., Chicago 29, 111., c/o Zimmerman. Anyhow, Pitts­burgh shall be our first Verhovay stop, and we hope to renew acquain­tances then. I shall try to assemble all the gay and interesting things that happen­ed at the dance, but some of them don’t sound quite so funny when you try to get them on paper. However, we’ll do our best to pick up the high lights of the event for you. Until then, let us say again how Journal Wonderful it was to be with you all, to meet you and to know we are all part of one huge friendly family. I for one am glad I ean count myself in as one of you. Mean­while for the month of July we have the following birthdays: July 4, — Charlie (razz-ma-tazz) Gruben. July 17, — Margie Nemeth. July 23, — Helen Partmann July 21, 1954. (love and kisses from her godchild). And very happy anniversary greet­ings to Mary and Joe Nemeth, and continued success and all sorts of happy thoughts go to all the June graduates — much happiness to alt the brides, and here’s hoping we get to see you all on our trip. Fraternall.v, MARGIE NEMETH NOTICE A recheck of the Tournament scores shows that Joseph Dargo, member of #2 Team of Branch 417, Trenton, New Jersey, rolled 636 with handicap in the Men’s Individual Event, entitling Mr. Dargo to a prize of $19.00 and putting him in the position of 10A.
