i After stating these few facts
let us say that we Hungarian

fliave reasons to be proud for
Our 18 year old central or
ganization is fulfilling its prin
cipal aim. It has found a me
dium to bring all our people
together át common occasions
Regardless to religion or creed
%nd that it has not only awakened
•but kept the interest of our
Second and budding third ge
neration.
We can say that we have not
'labored in vain. That the trials,
tribulations and disappointments

ver permitted to get the best of
Ifis, have born fruit.
We can say thai our young
people are at least conscious of
their origin* This will make them

Old men who came to Youngs
town 46 years ago were in the

Youngstown Hungarians lost
.« valuable man in Alexander Ge
Yessy who was taken from our
midst in the prime of his life.
Geressy was one of the young
tnen, who took interest in the
feffairs of the church and of
the societies. He was the young
est presiding elder in any church
iwithin our knowledge. He was
there when we organized our
prand Committee. He never
friiirked duty to his fellow Hun
garians. He served well no mat

His life and activity should
serve as an example to our
younger peopl%
