East Chi Choir Helps
Promote Croat Culture

East Chicago, Ind. - The
members of the "Sloga" Sing
ing Society would like to take
this opportunity to express
our gratitude to the many
people who, in the year just
past, rendered various servi-
ces in our behalf.
These people, not all Of
them regular members, are in
some cases related to pem-
bers, or merely offered their
assistance as a thoughtful
gesture. Our group could not
have functioned as we'll in
1854 as it did without these
helpers"
Our appreciation is also in
line to those who attended the
numerous entertainment af-
fairs which "Sloga" success
fully perpetrated in the old
year.
1t proved to us that the
love of Croatian-American
culture is still alive and that
is one of the reasons by "Slo-
ga" is continually growing,
and going on to bigger and
better things.
Our list of special acknow-
Judgements would not be COM
plete without the name of
Prof. Charles F. Stephens,
"Sloga's" Director. Without
his brilliant direction, pa
tience and great skill, we
could not have reached new
e n t e r t a nment heights in
! 1854.
Glee Clubs which receive
our appreciation are "Harmo-
ny" of Chicago, "Preradovic"
of Gary, and "Zora" of Chi
cago. Also thanks to local
unions, Lodges and Churches,
CFU and ecu groups. Lastly,
we extend our appreciation
to the Duquesne University

Lodge 81 Sports Club
Sets Masquerade Dance

Chicago, I'LL. - The Annual
Masquerade Ball of the "Slo-
boda" Lodge 80 Athletic Club
will be held on Saturday, Feb
ruary 19, 1866, at Stefanik's
Court, 26th Street and Pu-
laski Road.
Music for the occasion will
be furnished by Joe Kovich
and his Variety Orchestra.
The festivities are scheduled
to begin at 500 PM and our
shuttle bugs are hereby ad-
vised that the price of admis-
sion will be $1.00 per person.
If you attended our past
masquerades, you already
know what a great treat is in
store for you. If you haven't
now is the time to start en-
joying these funfests.
Do you have to mask to
attend, you ask? Not unless
you want to, is our answer.
It's always a question as to
who has the most fun, the
masked or the watchers.
Judging from the crowds at
tending these annual affairs,
it's always a grand time for
both.
AS usual, the prizes are
worth competing for. So, get
your costumes ready and
join us in the fun. The music
will be grand, so what more
can we ask for? Prizes will be
given for groups, couples and
singles.
The Committee will have
plenty of refreshments on
hand for all. We're looking
forward to seeing you all.

them in the second half?
