Ko smo prisli do eliza, da Sc

senskem casu, raven par pre-

cn koncert ma leto. Prlredili smo
pa tudi vec vrtnih koncertov
pri Mr.. Anton Gorisku v Ran
dali, Ohio, v prijetno zabavo in
zadovoljstvo vsem navzocim.
Da smo tako sirili lepo slo-
vensko pesem tudi med drugi-
mi narodi, smo priredili vec kon-
certov v javnih knjiznicah ma

stu Cleveland in okolici, pri raz-
licnih drustvah, in Jugoslovan-

uvideli potrebo, da Sc organizi-
ra in ustanovi pevsko drustvo,
katero bi v ubrani harmoniji
predvajalo lepo slovensko Pc
sem, in razveseljevalo sloven-
ska srca tn nasi novi domovi-
nj.
: Res, bila je to hvalevredna
in plemenita ideja, posebno, ker
takrat nj bilo v naselbini nobe-
mega pevskega zbora, Xxi bi IL
vrseval to dobrodejno delo. Maj
bo tukaj dano casino priznanje
tistim, kateri so sc najvec "a to
idejo zanimali in organizirali
pevsko drustvo, katero Sc danes
ob 80. letnici nosi ime "Zvon". 4.
To so: Joseph Blatnik, kateri
je bill prvi in dolgoletni predsed-
mix, in Sc danes dober in akti-
ven pevec, "a kar mu hvale
vredno priznanje.
Drugi je Martin Martinsek,
kateri Sc je dolgo let udejstvo-
val pri pevskem zboru in bill tu-
di aktiven pri podpornem dru-
jtvu. Bill je prvi nadzornik in
ia urad Sc danes poseduje; tudi
tebi, brat, vse hvale vredno pri-
znanje.
Tretji je pa bill nam tako tez-
llo pogresan, mad vse priljubljen
in izvrsten drugi basist, nepo-
zabni Andrej zagar, kateri je
prezgodno zapustil mas meseca
julia 1886 leta.
Dokler nam DO sonce sijalo
in vsem drugim izven drustva
"Zvon', kateri so te osebno po~
znali, tie bono ohranili v gor-
KEN spominu.
Da je bill ranjki Andew zagar
resnicno priljubljen pri vseh,

Ii leta 1889 castno spominsko
bronasto plosco njegovo sliko
V dvorani Slovenskega rx,rod-
mega donna, "a katerega je tu-
ii veliko delal in sc zrtvoval.
S te m, da sc je ustanovilo
pevsko drustvo "Zvon', je po-
5tala tudi odgovornost. Tega so
Sc pevci zavedali IN tudi v polni
meri storili svojo narodno dolz-
most. Zacetek je bill gotovo te-
zak, kot pri vsakem novo usta-
novlj jenemu drustvu. Seveda, v
taken Reimbursement polozaju je
dobro, da Sc dobi izkuSeno ose-
DO, da romaga pri pricetku. In
res, tenn pocetem stadiju SO Sc
pevci obrnili "a nasvet ma Mr..
Primoz Kogoja. Kot dober ma
rodnjak Sc je ma vabilo pevcev
takoj odzval S svojimi dobrimi
nasveti. z njegovo pomocjo so
pevci takoj dobili svojega prve-
ga pevovodjo v osebi Mr.. Albert
kolbezen, kateri je pevce pou-
:eval nekako dive lett. Ker je bill
ga bolj rahlega zdravja, je bill
primoran poueevanje opustiti.
Potem je "Zvon" dobil drugega
pevovodja v osebi Mr.. Peter
Simcica, XII je pouceval 'Zvon"
nadaljne dive lett. Ker je pa slu-
caj nanesel, da SO bill pevci
"zvona" ponovno brez stalnega
pevovodje, so Sc obrnili na Mr..
Primoz Kogoja ponovno "a ma
svet.
Ko je Mr.. Kogoj videl, da
zvon potrebuje pevovodjo, je
pa sam prevzel to delo, in tako
je pouceval zbor dolgih petnajst
let, Cd leta 1919 do zacetka le-
ia 1884. Takoj po ustanovitvi
zvona je postal zbor leta 1915
clan Jugoslovanske pevske I'VE
