his marvelous ability to direct
large choruses.

Cleveland, Ohio You
can't read Croatian? Don't
speak Croatian? Can't even
understand Croatian? Well,
so what!
You needn't do any of
these to like Croatian music
and those wonderful lively
kolos. If you have ever yearn
ed to be part of a group of
dancers or singers, who do
these fun-loving activities,
now is your chance.
The "Slavulj" group of
northeast is made of young
American people of Croatian,
Slovenian, Polish, German
and even Irish descent who
gather together weekly and
learn the lighter side of Cro
atian culture.
Most of these men and wo
men do not speak the Croa
tian language, but this does
not hinder their desire to sing
and enjoy themselves. For
with a few explanations and
pronunciations from their
able director, they have no
trouble whatsoever getting a
long.
"Slavulj" belongs .to the
Cleveland Folk Arts Associa
tion, which brings them in
contact with all nationalities
when performing for shows
at the Public Hall or the Art
Museum.
The group also makes out
of-town trips to perform for
other groups in nearby cities
and states. A chartered bus
brings loads of fun as we tra
vel together on these greatly
anticipated trips.
Rehearsals are held on
Thursday nights at the Cro
atian Home on Waterloo Rd.
at 8:00 PM. Come down and
see us or call Elaine Novosel
