Tournament and Fellowship Days Glorious Testimony to Verhovay Fraternalism Record Number of Teams; Record Dinner-Dance Attendance Turner - Falussy - Phillips Membership Campaign Gratifying The monumental Verhovay Memorial Day festival of bowling and fel­lowship, held this year May 28-29, in Chicago, Illinois, has achieved thus far the greatest success among the yearly series of the sports-fratemalism rallies sponsored by the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association. The 12th Annual Verhovay National Bowling Tournament and 1955 Verhovay National Fellowship Days shall ever remain niched in the records of the social triumphs of a society which can be compared to the acorn and the oak, from an insignificant beginning February 21, 1886 to America’s largest society of Hungarian origin at this date. It was this permeating spirit of VERHOVAY FRATERNALISM that lighted the way, as it were, for hundreds of Verhovayans, from many branch­es and from distant parts of the country, to start out on their separate ways and finally meet together for their national rally in Chicago. This great city of many Verhovayans and Hungarians was for the second time, and beating its previous record, to play host to the most teams and most Verhovayans. We are extremely proud of Verhovay Chicago and its area for the steadfast support which it gives its beloved society; we are grateful to the 1955 host branches, #15 and #50 of Chicago, and #130 of East Chicago, Indiana, which made the local preparations easier and formally welcomed all the other branches and members to Chicago; and we congratulate the Chicago area Verhovay leaders, Field Supervisor Frank J. Wukovits (Super­visor of Field V and Manager of Branch 132, South Bend, Indiana), District Manager Ernest C. Taylor (Manager of Branch 15, Chicago, Illinois — the Northside), District Manager Frank T. Kajdi (Manager of Branch 50, Chi­cago, Illinois — the Southside), District Manager Michael Tothfalusi (Ma­nager of Branch 130, East Chicago, Indiana), who did very much to assure the success of the event, and especially did very well in their own personal results and local management of the Turner-Falussy-Phillips Membership Campaign. BEFORE THE EVENTS Although two days, the 28th and the 29th, eovered the entire official program of the Verhovay Tournament-Fellowship Days, most arrivals re­gistered at the Conrad Hilton a day earlier, some even two days earlier. This provided excellent opportunity for smfficient rest before the heavy bowling and social schedules, meeting fellow Verhovayans and friends and sight-seeing in the Windy City. The Conrad Hilton is located in downtown Chicago on the city’s beauti­ful lsfke front. It is the largest hotel in the world. Our members and guests enjoyed their stay in this luxurious hostelry.
