First Place Actual Winners - Women’s Division Continued from page 1 Hospitality rooms could be found on all floors - so it was no surprise to find Joseph Balia and his guests from New Kensington, Pa., in one of the rooms enjoying themselves. One of the guests inquired: “How did you get into the room without knocking?” My answer was simple, “I had the only key to the room!” Now, how did the guests get into the room??? Gypsies and their strolling violins entertained the guests in all of the hospitality rooms - this brought out the true fraternalism in everyone. Early Saturday morning, Branch Manager Emery Percei and Bob Felser and their crew had the busses loaded to capacity for their short trip to the beautiful Imperial Lanes. I am told that Emery took a station wagon load of bowlers to the bowling alley when they missed the bus. The lanes were not only a show place but they were also high scoring lanes. Gene and Linna Fielder of the bowling registration desk gave the “Go Ahead” signal to National President Elmer Charles and to the tournament administrators that all team captains had registered. It was indeed a thrilling moment to see the “Welcome William Penn Bowlers” banner across the bowling lanes - you could hear a pin drop while they played the National Anthem. It’s always an exciting moment to await the throwing of the first ball of the tournament. National President Elmer Charles, with the tournament administrators, were on lanes 27 and 28 - waiting for Mr. Charles to show “how” or “how"not” to get a strike! Within a few minutes, scores were growing to the highest in our bowling history. Women were hitting as high as 256 in team event and before the tournament National Officers - Directors and Auditors was over a tremendous 289 was rolled in the men’s event. Come Saturday evening - Dinner and dancing took place in the Grand Ballroom of the Commodore Perry. Toledo’s Mayor William Ensign greeted all bowlers and their guests with a short speech that brought out all of Toledo’s industries and focal points. Entertainment was furnished by Frank Borisz and his Continental Orchestra from Brecksville, Ohio during the dinner hour and later on for dancing. National Auditor John Veszprémi and His Orchestra from Detroit, Michigan also played for dancing throughout the evening. The program was highlighted by the singing of Joseph Karcsak, Branch 27 member. Joe received a standing ovation for his beautiful renditions. Dancers Hungária, under the direction of Julia Danko, of Detroit, Michi-Stephen J. Ivancso and Mayor William Ensign, Toledo. gan gave an outstanding performance in Hungarian dancing. National President Elmer Charles closed the program with his talk on fraternalism. Dancing continued until the wee hours of the morning -Official Publication of the William Penn Fraternal Association Editor-In-Chief...........................................................
