This figure identifies that branch, Branch 45, and also indicates the number of years since the founding of Branch 45. Branch 45, Cleveland, Ohio, celebrated on Sunday, October 5, 1952, the occasion of its 45th anniversary. The joyful Verhovay event took place in the auditorium of the West Side Hungarian Evangelical Church, Cleveland. Present to lend emphasis to this: affair was National President John Bencze. Joseph Drotos, president of Branch 45, spoke the opening words of the program and then introduced Louis Bodnar, popular and highly respected Branch 45 member, as the toastmaster. At the conclusion of the singing of the American and Hungarian national anthems, Coloman Bertalan, manager of Branch 45 and district manager, welcomed the some four hundred celebrants. Speaking in English and following in Hungarian, Branch and District Manager Bertalan acquainted his listéners with the work and plans of Branch 45. He stressed that the high purpose of Branch 45 is to strengthen and elevate the Cleveland Hungarians spiritually and economically. In this he felt that there could never be any lack of cooperation or indifference among the members, and that the program was given force by the backing of the Association itself. Mr. Bertalan’s heart-spoken address was roundly applauded. Cleveland’s recreation director, John Nagy, officially greeted the assembled celebrants in the name of Mayor T. A. Burke who could not attend. This was followed by the introduction of Verhovay’s very popular and well-liked National President, John Bencze, by Vice-President Dr. Andrew Kovács. The National President spoke in his own inimitable style. He expertly traced the multifarious benefits which are now offered by our Association to please all the members. Other distinguished speakers were Cleve'and Judges Julius Kovachy and Louis Petrash, and the very revered old gentleman, Coloman Ko’.ozsvary, Verhovay Director. The job of introducing- out- oftown visitors fell to the lot of Emery Készéi, secretary-treasurer of Branch 45. Among the introductions were Detroit’s district and branch manager, Joseph Szabó, of Branch 443, Bela Takacs, president of Branch 91, Akron, Ohio, John Korosfoy, wellknown Alliance member, and Frank Pokcrny, president, who extended the greetings of the United Societies. Charles Gruendel, branch vice-president, thanked the visitors for their interest in coming to the Branch 45’s 45th anniversary celebration. The event was enlivened by excellent entertainers. Mary Katolcsy gave a beautiful vocal rendition of our National Anthem and other sengs, while Stephen Wegling sang in robust voice the Hungarian National Anthem and other numbers. They were accompanied by Theresa; Losch Szemko, piano virtuoso and instructor. Of special interest were the musical aeomplishments of the Hegedeos family, five in all, whose youngest, Christina, just five, piayed the xylophone. As the success of every banquet is measured largely by the culinary efforts expended, it is meet to mention the names of Mrs. Joseph Drotos, Mrs. John Marton, Mrs. Ladislaus Csorba, Mrs. Emery Készéi, Mrs. Dennis Vincze, Mrs. Blasius Toth, Mrs. Coloman Bertalan and Mrs. George Deli, whose preparation of the food meant delighted palates. Not to be forgotten too was the splendid, cheerful service of the young' ladies at the tables. And perfection was added to the delicious meal when grace was said by Rev. Gabriel Brachna. The 45th anniversary celebration of Branch 45 was another genuine1 expression of Verhovay fellowship.
