In 1936 a Scholarship Loan Fun ', was created, and through this Fur.d many talented young members, who could not finance their higher education, were able to complete their college or university studies. In order to carry out further our aims to aid our young members, the Board of Directors at its most recent meeting resolved that it would conduct an Essay Contest for all those male and female members who, in September 1962, will begin their Senior year in high school. The Board was of the opinion that such a Contest would aid those 17 and 18-year old members who could utilize the cash prizes offered. Those high school Seniors who graduate are not eligible for our Scholarship Loan, because in order to obtain a Scholarship Loan the member must have completed at least the Freshman year in college. Therefore, with a contest such as this the Board is of the opinion that some deserving high school Seniors, who are members of the Association, will gain financially in order to continue their college education. Because our Association was founded on the principles and tenets of fraternalism, the Board deemed it proper that the first Essay Contest should deal with the theme of Fraternalism. Hence the theme of the Essay Contest will be, “WHAT DOES FRATERNALISM MEAN TO ME?” The results of this contest should provide us with very important milestones for the future progress of the William Penn. THE ESSAY CONTEST RULES ARE THE FOLLOWING: 1) Any high shool Senior, who will graduate in June of 1963 and has at least a $1,000 membership certificate with the Association, is eligible to participate in the contest. 2) The subject of the Essay is: “What Does Fraternalism Mean to Me?” 3) The Essay shall not be fewer than 200 words nor more than 500 words. 4) The Essay must be written in English, on one side of the sheet of paper, in ink or typewritten. 5) Each contestant must have verification from his or her English teacher that the Essay is his or her own composition. 6) Essay must be submitted by February 28, 1963. Entries received after that date will not be considered. 7) The Essays will be judged by three experts, on the basis of points up to 100. The judges will judge independently of one another and will be appointed by the Board of Directors on the (Continued on page 6) OUR DISTINGUISHED MEMBER Cleveland, Ohio, whom President John F. Kennedy named to his Cabinet as the new Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare. The Senate unanimously confirmed the President’s nomination and Mr. Celebrezze took the oath of office on July 31. President Kennedy, standing at the side of his new Cabinet Officer, said, “I think the administration will be enhanced by his vitality, sense of purpose and public commitment.” Before assuming his national position William Penn member Anthony J. Celebrezze was Mayor of Cleveland for the last nine years. As a dynamic leader of amiable disposition he made many friends among the numerous Hungarian Americans in Cleveland and some years ago joined Branch 14 of the William Penn Fraternal Association. The William Penn Junior Bowling Program The Board of Directors some years ago authorized the organizing of Junior Bowling Teams . In the cities of Detroit, South Bend, Toledo, Columbus, Johnstown and Yatesboro a total of 45 William Penn Junior Bowling Teams are now operating. It is for this reason that we deemed it advisable to arrange get-togethers for our Junior Bowlers in order for them to compete against one another, much the same as we do once a year for the Adult Bowlers. Before the Seniors will begin their league bowling this coming season, we shall conduct two Junior Bowling Tournaments, East and West, on an experimental basis. The Eastern Junior Bowling Tournament will be held Sunday, August 26, 1962 ,at 1 p.m., at Westmont Lanes, Westmont Shopping Center, Johnstown, Pennsylvania. The Western Junior Bowling Tournament will be held Sunday, September 2, 1962, beginning 1 p.m., at Southlanes Bowling Alley, corner of Eureka and Trenton Road, Southgate (suburb of Detroit), Michigan. Naturally, we should like very much to see at the Johnstown Tournament not only teams from Johnstown and Yatesboro but also Junior Bowlers from McKeesport, Duquesne and Springdale. As for the Southgate-Detroit Tournament, in addition to the teams from Detroit,'Toledo, South Bend and Columbus, we would be totally gratified to have Lorain, Cleveland and other Junior Bowlers at that event. Both tournaments will be conducted under American Junior Bowling Congress rules on handicap basis, Bantam and Junior groups, boys and girls, teams and pairs. The Bantam Division will bowl two games, the results of which will simultaneously count toward Singles and Doubles results. All William Penn members who will not yet be 12 years old by the date of the tournament are eligible to participate in the Bantam Division. Anthony J. Celebrezze The William Penn Fraternal Association, its officers and its members, happily and wholeheartedly extend congratulations and best wishes to their %”rther fn the William Penn, ANTHONY J.
