A special session on early Hungarian history was presented by Dr. August J. Molnár, president of the American Hungarian Foundation in New Brunswick, N.J. Dr. Molnár traced the Hungarian people from their origins in 1000 B.C. in Mesopotamia through their conquest of the Ural Mountains. Students also studied the Hungarian alphabet (which contains 42 letters, one for each sound) and learned the Hungarian Himnusz and the Lord’s Prayer in Hungarian. Perhaps the toughest part of the week for many was completing the 10 to 15 sentence essay each student was required to write on a topic of their choice. Most wrote about themselves, and each student shared their essay with the rest of the class. On Wednesday the students met Joseph P. Arvay, chairman of the William Penn Board of Directors. He and National Secretary-Treasurer Furedy extended greetings to the students on behalf of the Board and National Officers. National President E. E. Vargo and his wife Betty also visited the students on Friday, extending their greetings to those at the camp. After a week of hard work and intensive study, students and inStudents and instructors at the William Penn’s Hungarian Language Camp share a moment on the grounds of Penn’s Scenic View. structors gathered Friday for a relaxing evening of Hungarian food and entertainment. Mr. Kara prepared a delicious meal featuring disznó pörkölt (a pork dish) and creamed cucumber salad. He later sang a number of Hungarian songs to the accompaniment of Mr. Fodor on the violin. In all, there were 20 lessons presented in just five days. Yet every student left satisfied, including the five who came with no knowledge of Hungarian. Many wanted to sign up for another session. Mr. Fodor explained that the reasons for students’ success at the camp lay within themselves more than the instructors. "We were a key for them. Many of the students learned these things in their childhood, so we tried to unlock their memories to things they had learned from their parents and grandparents.” For Mr. Fodor, and perhaps many of those involved in the language camp, the purpose and value of the week was best summed up by one student, a retired insurance executive. "He said, in Hungarian, 'Now on my way home I’ll be able to stop off in Johnstown and greet my mother in Hungarian, talk to her in Hungarian, and sing her Az a Szép.’” This may be your LAST CHANCE to own a WPA CENTENNIAL COMMEMORATIVE PLATE made by the world-famous Herend company.
