Foundation Scholarship Recipient Musical Genius
John Kozar Father" Of Indiana University koIo Group

GARY, Ind. - Among the
twenty young American and
Canadian members Of the So
ciety singled out November
21, 1858, for educational aid
by the Directors of the Gro
attain Fraternal Union Schol-
arship Foundation, Inc, we
are indeed happy that two
members of "Croatian Sons"
Lodge ITO were recipients.
During the recent holidays,
we were visited by brother
John Kozar, Jr., who came to
extend his thanks to the To-
cal lodge and to the Scholar
ship Foundation for the very
welcome aid which he re-
ceived.
Taught By Prof. Matz
Born June IL, 1910, in Ga
ry, John is the son of John,
Sr., and Ruby Kozar, both
members of Lodge ITO.
He attended Lew Wallace
High School, where he ma
jored in music and graduated
in June, 1858. At the same
time he also transferred from
Nest 10 to our Lodge.
During the years that
John was a high school
student he was an active
member of the Croatian
Singing Society Prerado-
vic", where he met the re-
nowned Professor Rudolph
Matz and his wife Margita
both of Zagreb, Yugoslavia.
During their two year stay
in Gary, our talented young
musician took advantage o1
this opportunity and studied
music under their tutelage
which indeed enabled him tt
learn and appreciate our fine
Croatian culture in the fielt
ZajednicÌŒar = Fraternalist. [volume] (Allegheny, Pa.) 1894-current, 1959-01-21

Out Of this group Is are
known as the Varsity Group,
of which John Kozar is one of
the two freshmen; all the rest
are upper classmen. This
group tours the Midwest
giving concerts.
Kolo Group In Debut
Our young member is inter-
ested in Croatian culture to
the extent that he has al
ready organized a "Kolo
Group" in the University and
they will perform during the
dedication ceremony of the
million-dollar Indiana Univer-
sity Extention Building loca-
ted in Gary.
We have high expectations
that our promising young
member will continue his in
terest in Croatian music, as
his talent could be of great as
sistance in furthering the
Croatian culture among the
descendants of our Croatian
pioneers.
We are aware of the fact
that his dream is to study
music in Zagreb and sim
cerely we hope that his
dream comes to realization.
In conclusion we would like
to add that his father, John
Kozar, Sr. is a tamburitza en-
thusiast and a member of the
Croatian Singing Society
"Preradovic" and his sister is
a member of Nest 10 and is
now enrolled in the newly or
ganized Junior Tamburitza
class.
We extend our congratula-
tions to his parents and wish
him every success in his stu
dies and future career.

will be a junior division for
five-man mixed teams which
must be comprised of 8 boys
and 2 girls, all under 18 years
of age.
Since the cost of bowling
and the admission to the
banquet and dance is paid
by the CFU Home Office in
Pittsburgh, there is no rea-
son why all the juniors
should not enter.
In the senior division there
are five events: Five-Man

bles and All-Events for both
men and women and Mixed
Doubles.
On the Five-Man Team
there must be no less than

their soccer very seriously
and betting on the outcome
of a game is a common
practice.)
The game over, the radio
station began playing some
popular Croatian records and
we three Americans decided
to do a bit of public singing
on our own.
This startled the villagers,
for they seem to labor under
the impression that Ameri-
cans of Croat descent are di-
vorced from their mother
tongue. We were to prove that
it isn't so.
We enjoyed the impression
we made on the villagers of
Vukova Gorica. .
In fact, the three of us were
still chuckling over our visit
there long after our return
late that evening of Sunday,
Sept. 2, 1856, to Zagreb..
Memories Of Late Ban
About Vukova Gorica.
Located some distance from
Karlovac, Vukova Gorica was
the birthplace Of the late ban
(Governor) DR.. Ivan Subasic,
the last such ruler Of Croatia
and an important political
figure during the World War
II years.
Perhaps some of our read
ers will recall that DR.. Su-
basic visited America during
that last global struggle.
In fact, he addressed the
Delegates to the Croatian
Fraternal Unions 9Th Ma
tional Quadrennial Conven-
ton, which was held in
1943 in the Sherman Hotel,
Chicago. The writer was a
Delegate to that Conven-
ton.
We also believe that Mark
Vinski, former CF'U official
and now a prominent Etna,
Penna., business man, came
from the vicinity of Vukova
Gorica.
The late father of Ann su-
basic, prominent Gre te r
Pittsburgh Croatian Day
Committee figure, also came
from that district and was re-
lated to DR.. SubaSit.

There were no patches

that the members of both
