(Photos by Louis A. Fodor) PITTSBURGH — The Hungar­ian Room Committee of the Uni­versity of Pittsburgh celebrated its 53rd anniversary with a din­ner-dance Oct. 25 in the univer­sity’s Schenley Hall Ballroom. The 126 committee members and guests in attendance enjoyed a delicious chicken dinner pre­pared and served by the univer­sity’s staff, as well as a program of traditional Hungarian music and dance presented by some of the area’s top Hungarian performers. The evening began with a warm welcome from master of cere­monies Roger G. Nagy, commit­tee president and a member of the Association’s Board of Direc­tors. The Rev. Paul L. Bolvary, pastor of St. Ann’s Hungarian R. C. Church in Hazelwood, offered the invocation in both English and Hungarian. Then all rose to join in singing the American and Hungarian national anthems, led by George S. Charles Jr., national vice president-secretary of the Association. After dinner, Mr. Nagy an­nounced that the evening’s main speaker, John C. Miller, the com­mittee’s historian and scholarship coordinator, was unable to attend due to an injury. In his place, Mr. Nagy read remarks written by Mr. Miller which reviewed the committee’s current attempts to find a summer studies program at a Hungarian university which would be suitable for the commit­tee’s scholarship recipients. The entertainment portion of the program was a celebration of Hungarian culture: Richard and Malvene Heyz performed two popular Hungarian folk dances dressed in traditional ethnic cos­tumes; dancer Kelly Cloherty pre­sented a ballet to music from Kodály’s opera Hári János; and cimbalom player Anton E. Phil­lips and violinist George Bátyi were featured in two traditional arrangements performed by Mr. Batyi’s Continental Ensemble. Special thanks were extended to Mr. and Mrs. William C. Kohut who furnished the orches­tra and to William Penn Chair­man Joseph P. Arvay who fur­nished the Hungarian wines served with dinner. All proceeds raised from the dinner-dance will benefit the committee’s scholarship fund. The committee thanks the members, friends and guests who attended the dinner. We send special thanks to the William Penn Home Office employees Kelly Cloherty earned loud applause for her hallet to Kodály’s music. who helped to make this event a success: Karen Clarke, Sue Deak, Diane Dinzeo, Debbie Evans, Steve Evans, Robert A. Kapinus and John E. Lovász. Branch 226 Secretary and Coordinator Alexander Goydan presents the branch’s Vándor Serleg trophy to National President E. E. Vargo.

Branch 226 trophy to be housed in WPA archives By Alexander J. Goydan Branch 226 Secretary & Coordinator McKeesport, pa — in 1930, 62 years ago, Branch 226 Mc­Keesport was awarded the "Silver Award Trophy” by the Verhovay Aid Association Home Office. The trophy was awarded to the branch in recognition of its extra­ordinary membership increase of 110 members over a short period of time. The increase was due in large part to the hard work of Gteza Pavuk, the branch’s juvenile sec­retary, and Mózes Balogh, Branch 226 executive secretary. Other branch officers at that time were: Joseph Lenart, president; Michael Koleszarik, vice president; John Marton, treasurer; Arpad Kish, auditor; Menyhért Feyes and Jo­seph Lenart, sick visitors; Joseph Szilagyi and Menyhért Feyes, flag bearers; and Michael Stephan, outer door guard. For the old timers who can recall, the Home Office admini­stration at that time consisted of President Joseph Darago, Secre­tary John Bencze, Treasurer Mi­chael Varga, Controller Kalman Revesz and Medical Examiner Dr. Samuel Gomory. The recently rediscovered Ván­dor Serleg silver trophy was origin­ally housed in the Old Hungarian Club located in the first ward of McKeesport. The club was dis­mantled during the redevelop­ment of the Magyar Negyed. The trophy was recently pre­sented to National President E. E. Vargo by Alexander J. Goy­dan, secretary and coordinator of Branch 226. It will now be housed in the Association’s archives.
