DeS PLANES, Ill. - To the
long list of our young Gro
atian-Americans who disting-
uished themselves in various
fields of science, art and
sport, | am proud to add the
name of George Pesut, Jr.,
whose family | know very
well, and who ought to be
congratulated on having such
an excellent son.
All five members of Mr..
and Mrs. George Pesut's fam
lily, 1869 E. 1O1st ST., So. Chi
cago, are members of the
Lodge 200, CFU.
AS many of our ambitious
young people, young George
Pesut climbed the ladder of
success by hard work which
brought him recognition as a
most valuable football player
and carried him higher and
higher in the field of sports.
George P sut graduated
from College of Idaho in Cald-
well, Idaho, June 5, 1854,
with a Bachelor of Arts de-
gree in Physical Education.
He is now at Fruitland High
School as Head Coach Of foot
ball and teacher in, Civics,
General Science and General
Business Training. He will al
so assist coaching in baseball
and basketball.
In 1949 George graduated
from Bowen High School,
where he won a scholarship
for playing football. He at
tended Compton Junior Col
lege in Compton, California,
for two years. He then trans
ferred to College of Idaho,
where he completed four
years in all.
George starred in football,
playing offensive for the first
time instead of defensive. He
was selected on the North
west Conference defensive
team in 1852 as a halfback.
George switched to offensive
football in his last season
and accumulated $50 yards
in SIS carries, losing only II
yards. He ranked third in
"Coyote' scoring with eight
touchdowns for 48 points.
His outstanding play was
recognized by Conf e r e nee

zumberaks Prep
For Tam Concert

Cleveland, Ohio - The
next big target for the "zum
beraks" CFU Lodge 85t
members to aim at is the
forthcoming Duquesne Uni
versity Tamburitzans' Con
cert, scheduled to take place
on Sunday, February IS, al
the Music Hall.
And they have sufficient
reason to strive harder thar
ever this year to put the af.
fair across, since two of their
fellow Lodge members, Mary
Ann Perencevich and Walter
Bukovac, are performers with
the famed troupe.
We all agree that the pre-.
sentations of the Tammies
improve in quality with each
passing year. So, we can look
forward to a great thrill ir
musical enjoyment when the
Tammies make their annual
Cleveland bow.
One of the questions fire.
quently popping up is what tc
do after the show? The Com.
mittee has taken care of that
by arranging a face-to-face
meeting with all performers
and members gathering at the
Sachsenheim Hall. E. 55th at
st. Clair Avenues, right after
the Concert.
In order to make tickets
available in all sections of the
city, the following distribu.
ton points have been estab.
lished for your convenience:
Golub's Funeral H O m e.
4703 Superior Ave-, the Gro.
atian Home in Collinwood, E.
156th at Waterloo Road
Miles Park Floral Shoppe
93O8 Miles Avenue, and the
Burrows Main Ticket Office,
AIT Euclid Ave.
All tickets are to be sold
at reasonable prices, as low
as fifty cents for children in
the unreserved section of the
balcony section. Since al
seats in this Hall are gooo
seats, the acoustics the fin.
est, it is certainly to be ex'
pected that more and more
children will be given a roya
treat by their parents come
Sunday, February 18th.

We are proud of the fact
that we American Croatians
will be represented on the
program by none other than
our own "Sloga" Junior Tam
buritzans, who are currently
making such a hit with folks
throughout this area.
Yes, in the very short time
during which these young
sters have been organized,
they have gone a long way
in the tamburitza field.
We urge our people in this
area to join their fellow Ame-
ricans in the fight against
polio and participate in the
program at the Senior Far
rell High School on January
22nd.

This then will be the last
retrospective glance at
1854. We can say with JUS
tification that it was a good
year when everything is
considered. There were no
spectacular a c h ievements
i'm numerical increases but
i'm moral and spiritual re-
juvenation the Union has
garnered much of which it
can be proud. Its Goth An
niversary Year was indeed
a triumphal parade of fra
ternal fervor. -..
Past accom p j s hments
should serve only one pur-
pose however. That purpose
should be to goad us on to
new heights, even loftier
goals. Here we are in 1855,
the year of decision, the year
of action. We have every rea-
son, every inducement, to
make it a year of greater
progress in every field Of
endeavor.
And So, "On To Gary!"
We can initiate a chain re-
action of celebrations COM
memorating the 40th Ami
versary of the Junior Order.
We have another member
ship campaign in full swing
and though it is of only 5
months duration it's results
can and should be comparable
to the best of yesteryears. We
will have not one but two
conventions. Th e s e should
serve as a fitting objective
for all true fraternalists.
Participation in the SEN
ior conclave is pretty well
a matter of chance, but at
tendance at Gary's Junior
edition need be but a mat
ter of choice - your own
choice.
Whether you are Junior
or Senior member it is solely
and definitely up to you,
yourself, whether you make
it or not. You, yourself, can
elect YOU to be the delegate
by getting that easily attain
able requirement of points.
Becoming a delegate to the
4th Junior Convention is the
hallmark of true fraterna-
lism, for you will have earned
that honor by building your
Society!
