All the introductions concluded, Director Phillips turned over the duties of master of ceremonies to National Auditor Sabo who, first of all, richly complimented the bowlers by calling them the “backbone” of the Verhovay Tournament-Fellowship. Days, and asked them all to rise in a body. The thunderous ovation which followed echoed and re-echoed the length and breadth of the Grand Ballroom..« i The new master of ceremonies then began his principal task, the introduction of the various entertainers. Here follows who they were and what they did: Anthony Skolny. He played Hungarian and American numbers on the “tárogató,” ancient Magyar musical instrument. An excellent performance. Mrs. Ann Russ. Her singing in Hungarian and in English was beautiful. Miss Elaine Phillips accompanied. The Four Gems. Carol Kaleta, Janet Gergely, Ethel Krivach and Joan Morris, radio and TV entertainers, whose interpretation of Hungarian dance numbers was very skillful. They are members of the East Chicago First Hungarian Evangelical and Reformed Church and perform under the leadership of Mrs. Leslie Egry. Hermina Turner. Only in her middle teens, this Miss is already an accomplished violinist. No wonder she was encored. Grace Soo. Just out of the teens, Miss Soo’s vocalization of popular Hungarian songs earned for her a generous applause from the appreciative audience. The Dankos, Stephen Jr. and Darlene. These., livable tots, the grandchildren of Auditing Committee Chairman Gaspar Papp, were a delightful twosome as Stephen, Jr., played the violin while Darlene, in Hungarian costume, sang a Magyar song. Next they danced together to the supreme amusement of their spectators. Betty Sasse. Her native dance in Hawaiian costume was a sensation by this nine year old youngster, who has entertained in veterans hospitals, at the American Opera Company and for civic and charity groups. Margaret Bársony. Two years ago at the Verhovay Tournament-Fellowship Days in Toledo, Ohio this charming songbird, who has made many records, was so well-received by the Verhovay audience that we called her to Chicago. She sang two Hungarian numbers in her beautiful inimitable style. Thus ended a very entertaining program of diversified and fine talent. > Master of Ceremonies Sabo now requested all the members of Branch 525, Los Angeles, California, present, mostly bowlers, to rise with their leader and branch manager, Director Alexander Gyulay. They were roundly applauded for the sacrifice they had to make in traveling the very long distance from Los Angeles to Chicago. National Auditor Sabo then heartily congratulated Branches 15, 50 and 130 which, this year, prepared the Tournament Album. It is complete, neat and has a cover so beautifully designed that many compliments have been, received about it. Benediction was read by the Rev. Desideriu; Parragh, Pastor of the First Hungarian Reformed Church of Chicago. The formal conclusion of the banquet program came with the singing of the Hungarian National Anthem by the audience and led by Margaret Bársony. But before the dancing1 began, Director Richard J. Phillips hurried to the microphone and asked that National Auditor John Sabo, the Tournament Administrator, be given an enthusiastic ovation for the splendid work he did for the Tournament and the Victory Dinner-Dance. The clapping of han ., sounded explosive, so much did the audience feel Xhe same sentiments. This fine gesture coming from a fellow member of the National Tournament Executive Committee, who with its Chairman, Vice President Dr. Andrew Kovács, labors assiduously too for the success of our yearly national sportsfraternal rally, is no less than a noble one. It was about 9:40 when the versatile Szepessy orchestra, which played well for the dinner and the entertainment, opened the dance and in almost continuous performance played until 1:00 A. M. From beginning until end the dance floor was packed with the many dancers of all styles, of ail ages, who enjoyed themselves superlatively. We recommend. the Szepessy orchestra as a fine group of cooperative musicians. Everybody at the 1955 Verhovay Tournament- Fellowship Days was in a merry mood, but perhaps no one was happier than National Treasurer John Szalanczy who was temporarily home with the many friends he had made while he lived in Chicago, most of whom are Verhovayans he led as branch officer and Verhovay Director, It is highly amusing yet quite understandable that even during the current Verhovay Tournament-Fellowship Days speculation was rife as to where the next such affair would be held. That is a question which even the real decider, the Board of Directors itself, can not answer now. A salute to the next — wherever it may be! than the name indicates. *** When the heart contracts in its rhythmic action, the blood projects forcibly, increasing the tension within the arteries. Pulse is the word for these ■steadily intennittent changes within the arteries.
