UNE SE NAY CZEinl LESSONS FOR BEGINNERS Desata lekce — Lesson Ten Accent (stress) and Intonation In this lesson, are will discuss some rules and guides to speaking correct Czech, and using stress and intonation.

1. In Czech, the accent is invariably on the first syllable: PRA-ce, SKAkat, SKO-la.

2. In the case of 3 or more syllables, there is a secondary accent on the 3rd syllable: PRA-co-VA-ti, VZDE-la-VAci, ZA-palo-VA-ti.

3. One syllable prepositions form one single unit with the word following, and are always accented: Do Prahy (doprahy), po valce (povalce).

4. If the preposition consists of only one consonant v, z, s, k — it must be joined in a single sound with the word following k vam kvam — (not ke yam): v Novem Yorku (not ye Novem Yorku).

5. Before other groups of consonants, these prepositions are said in full and accented: VE st •edu, KE mile, SE ninon, ZE ‘Skoly.

6. Prepositions are pronounced in full if the word following' begins with the same sound: VE Vidni, KE kosteln, SE sestrou, ZE zeme. The reason for this is because double consonants are pronounced as single consonants in Czech: (Anna, ceionY). A double vv or double kk are not pronounceable. HoweVer, in a word like, nej-jemnersi, the two is are separated because nevi is a superlative prefix. More on sueerlatives later.

7. Although the accent it always on the 'first syllable, it does net lengthen a short vowel following it, and we most not yield to the temptation to STRESS long vowels outside the fimt syllable. The leneth or ,hotness of a vowel has no bear le: on the stress.

8. Stress is not as stron g-1y marlced in Czech as in En glish, German, or Russian, The intonation (melody of the speech — its "Inusicabiess"), that is, the rise and fall in the pitch of the

V STNIEK voice, is not made up from as malty tunes and eistterns as in the above 3 languages. The voice does not rise to as does it fall tow as the above larq;'llages, the Czech language, may be to be rather "flat" and monotone cter.

9. The outstanding feature of Czech Speech is the contrast between long and Short vowels, alternating in succession, giving it a rather staccato, character.

Example: CkS ko slo yen ski, RE pub li Rae MA-te dues MNO ho PRAcc? POT-teal jste pana DOKtora? .

A-no, pot-ka-vam ho CASto. 10. Finally, this rule should probably be observed: if you're not sure which syllable is to be accented, don't accent any; this will be better than stressing the . wrong one. Lon't worry too much about stresses and intonation at this point, but make it a part of each lesson as we move along, Assignment 'Construct sentences with all Czech Words in today's lesson. Use a CzechEnglish dictionary to look up words new to you. Make them a part of your vocabulary list.

FROM THE EDI With the meeting of District I at Lodge 39, Bryan, on May 19th, the spring meetings of the six districts have come to an end. (District Four holds only one a year, and it takes place in the fall). Your editor has attended all six of these district meetings, and we must say, it has been quite a revelation. We have met and talked with members of lodges from Dallas-Fort Worth in the northern part of the state, to Corpus Christi in the southern part. We have made many new friends — people to whom we had never spoken, or even heard of, for that matter.

In each meeting, there was something different from that in another district. Each, I suppose, has its uniqueness, its own peculiar problems, and its own brand of folksiness. For your editor, it has meant going to places where we have never been, and oftentimes, the way and route has been rather devious. But — we made it! The next time we have to go to the same places, there'll be no getting lost, or making the wrong turn.

• • On one of our trips, we stopped at a service station, a number of miles from our lodge destination. The attendant gave us detailed directions on how to get to the lodge hall. His directions were so clear and precise in fact, that I was prompted to ask how it was that he knew precisely where the place was situated. Was he perhaps an SPJST member? "No," was his reply. "Everybody around here knows where that place is; there's something going on out there all the time." I later thought that this was as goad an advertisement for the propagation of the SPJST as could be. "There's something going on out there all the time." Yes, it is an active, full-of-life lodge, not a stagnant one. People go there, for one event or another. The officers are hard at work planning and seeing to it that there "is something going on there

all the time." There are no cobwebs in the corners. Every Sunday, there are children's playing voices echoing about the premises; the rafters ring with. Saturday night wholesome dancing and entertainment. It is not padlocked and abandoned for the The entire community is aware that the SPJST lodge DOES exist, and that it DOES have wholesom0 entertainment for its young folks. It occupies a definite spot in the community, is a part of it, and is respected by the rest of the community. Yes, they and the community are carrying on a "love affair," and if things go right, that "affair" will continue for sometime. # • • So — I pondered the message in the young man's statement: "Everybody knows where that place is; there's something going on out there all the time." There IS a message here. Get it?

Attention, young followers of the Czech lessons: please notice our appeal for you to participate in our friendly "contest." It may be a little Premature to expect miraculous results, but let's see what happens. The rules (complete, we hope), are in the body of . the lesson. Solicit your parents' cooperation, but NOT direct help; and let us see who can submit the best piece of work on "Janosik." If this proves stimulating, we might try something similar in the future. Remember: the work must be in YOUR own handwriting, and must be the results of your OWN efforts. Give it a whirl!

• • We are still anxiously awaiting our

first inquiries regarding films, where and how to get them for practically nothing. You will also see a letter from Pro, Frank Henzen of Dallas, in the "Letters" section, in which he sets forth his willingness to help lodges form their own singing groups. I knew I could depend on Bro. Henzen, without even approaching him ahead of time on the matter. That spirit of cooperation is what makes lodges "tick." If all of this is news to you read last week's editorial in the English section, and the items we are talking about will fall neatly in place.

In this issue you will mite that we are devoting some space to the observance of Memorial Day, which, we believe, is in keeping with "the great American spirit," and of which we all need to be reminded from time to time.

We have had, and we will continue to have in the future, articles touching on historic, American patriotic observances. As a fraternal order, an integral part of our very existence hinges on the principles on which this great nation was born and which have served as guideposts down through the years.

Much has been said about the "unpopularity" of patriotism, how "corny" it is, how out of style it is. Let such nonsense cease — NOW! Let no one be ashamed to display his patriotic fervor.

It is NOT out of style. It is NOT corny.

It is NOT unpopular. This nation has gone through perilous periods, and many believe that we are in the midst of one at this time. There is no denying of that. Let us then take stock.

Memorial Day is a good time to do just that. Read what we have to say about Memorial Day. Read the poem, "In Flanders Field."Ponder it a while.

Imagine you are standing in the middle of a military cemetery in some foreign country, with 10,000 American dead around you. I have. There is really no feeling quite like it. That's what Memorial Day is all about.

A really good idea is seldom captured except when chased by the brain at an exhausting pace, usually for a considerable time.

Batteries for this game were Glenn Williams pitching and Larry Brennan catching.

Leading hitters were Larry Brennan with two singles and Milton Spaniel with a double. Frank Mach III and Albin Vrana each nad walks.

On Friday night, May 17, we played this same team and got our revenge by beating them 7 to 4. Everyone played a much better game as the score indicates, and Frank Mach III hurled a very good game to gain credit for the win. Larry Brennan was our catcher and turned in another fine game. We now stand with 2 wins and 1 loss in thE Thursday Night Oily Major League.

16 Leading hitters were Larry Brennan with 2 singles and a walk; Albin (Gino) Vrana with 2 singles; Milton Spaniel with 2 singles; Frank Mach III with a single, a walk and a sacrifice; Glenn Williams with a single and a sacrifice; Alex Parma with a single; Paul Valenta, a single and Bob Spoor with 2 sacrifice hits. Though we won this game, we suffered the loss of our shortstop, Alex Parma, probably for several games. Alex fell and hurt his shOulder in the game and we just hope he will be able to join the team; in the near future, His absence will be greatly missed and we all wish him a speedy recovery.

Monday night, may 20, we played a double header and we came out with a split, one loss and one win, in our game with the Lenfor Chiefs. Incidentally, this team is made up of Indians living here in Dallas and they are all very good sports.

In the first. game, we were defeated. by a score of 13 to 3 in a loosely-played game frequented with numerous errors. Batteries were Glenn Williams pitching and Albin (Biro) Vrana and Adolph Janecka, catching, Glenn \Vilhams pitched a inueh better game than the score indicates. However, he had poor support afield as we all played poorly, espedially me. Leading hitters were Paul Valenta with 2 singles, Bob Spoor with a double, Alvin Vrana with a. single, Milton Spaniel with a single and Ben Jarmo, with a walk.

In the second game, it was another story and the results were much better as we won a real thriller by a score of 2 to 1 behind the fine pitching of Franl';_ Mach III. He also won his own ball game by hitting a ho-merun which iced the game for us. Everyone played a good game afield and gave Frank the support necessary to help win the game. Adolph Janecka turned in a good game behind the plate. Leading hitters were Frank Mach III with a homerun, Albin Vrana with a single and a sacrifice; Milton Spaniel with a single and Ted Dusek with a walk. This leaves us with 2 wins and 2 losses in our Monday night league, and for us to win or tie for the fhst half championship we will have to defeat Friendly Chevrolet in both games next Monday night, Thursday night, May 23, we played McCord music at Lawnview No. 1.

The results of this game will be in my next report.

Next Monday night, May 27, we will

VESTN1K

play Friendly Chevrolet a doubleheader at Samuel No. 1, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Then on Thursday night, May 30, we will play Temco at Lawnview No. 1, second game, 8:45 p.m. This should conclude all our ,games in the first half of play. One more rained out game remains to be played with McCord Music in our Thursday Night League.

The second annual DSMA Softball tournament will be played in Dallas. starting Friday, June 7, Saturday June 8 and Sunday, June 9. I don't know if we will enter and I rather doubt that will. This will be a real goad tournament of teams from all over Texas.

Remember our Annual Softball Benefit Dance. It will be on Saturday, June 29 at our Lodge Hall at 2625 Floyd St. It will be a special battle dance, featuring the Jahn Rejcek. and Ed Faraizl orchestras, so start making plans now to attend. Tell your friends about this and better still, bring them along with you. We will deeply appreciate your presence and your support.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, Well, here I am again to remind you of our very important meeting, which will be held on June 2nd, that is the first Sunday in Jane, starting at 2 p.m. in the home of our President. Please notice the change in the place of our meeting, Bro. and ,Sis Jaro Rektorik's home.

Bro. President told me to be sure and urge everyone to come. As we will try to organize everyone as to what will be expected of them, when we put on our 50th anniversary celebration in September.

We will have a barbecue on Sunday, September 15, and also on that date the District 7 meeting will be held here in conjunction with the celebration. So you see, we have two good reasons for celebrating on that date.

Our Lodge will be 50 years old on Nov. 13, 1963.

After the meeting we will have our regular social gathering, so you ladies please bring a snack or two so we can have a bite while we gossip.

We're still dry here in this particular part of the country. Some sections got real good rains, but not us. Our feed is too far gone to benefit from any rains, but our cotton is still holding its own, and a good rain would mean the difference between a good crop or nothing.

Wednseday, May 29, 1903 See everyone at the meeting, June 2nd, 2:00 p.m. at the home of. Jaro Rektorik, about 6 miles northwest of Robstown.

Dear Vestnik Readers: The dedication ceremonies of the opening of the SPJST Heights Little League Ball Park were held Saturday, May 18, A large number of people were present for the occasion. We wish to congratulate the little fellows for being lucky to get such a wonderful ball park.

Now, let's all help and support these youngsters, because someday they may wind up in the National League.

The Lodge 88 Czech Class graduation party was held Monday night, May 20.

Most all of the members were present, with the exception of four, who were unable to come. Mr, Richard Schnell photographed the class, which will be in the Vestnik soon. The class presented our instructor, Mr. Steve Valcik with a gift, and then we all enjoyed cake and ice cream and date bars. We all wish Mr. Valeik success and luck on his forthcoming tour of Europe. We understand that at least 6 members of the class are planning on making the tour with Mr. Valcik next year. The Czech course they took will be very useful to them while in Czechoslovakia, In behalf of the Class, we wish to thank Mr. Valcik and his faithful assistant, Mrs. Valcik, _for having so much patience with us. We enjoy every bit of it. It was fun. Mr. Valeik will teach another class starting in the fall, so anyone interested, contact Mr. Valcik or President Tim. Rostom.

My husband's grandmother, Mrs. Anna Elsia Vornsand, of the Schulenburg vicinity, passed away at the family residence Monday, May 20. She had reached the age of 87 years, and was a member of the SPJST lodge for over 40 years. She was born in Oldenburg, Germany, and came to this country at the age of 7. She was buried at the Schulenburg City Cemetery.

We were blessed with some wonderful rain here in Houston Wednesday.

It was a relief for all the lawns and ,gardens. That means we don't have to water them.

MAY 30 -® MEMORIAL DAY May 30th is Memorial Day, first officially observed in honor of the nation's war dead at Washington, D.C., 95 years ago -- in 1868. Memorial Day, or Decoration Day, begin during the Civil War when Southern women in Vicksburg and Columbus, Mississippi, and Charleston, South Carolina, decorated Union as well as Confederate graves. When Mayor John A. Logan became commander of the postwar Grand Army of the Republic, he issued on May 5, 1868, his famous order "That every post of the Grand Army should hold suitable exercises and decorate the graves of their dead comrades with flowers. — Let no ravages of time testify to coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided Republic." May 30th, a time when flowers are at their best, was chosen as the date, and the first Memorial observance was held in Washington. Ambulances carried flow-

VESTNIK

ers to Arlington Cemetery from the Botanic Garden, the Treasury grounds, and the President's conservatory and private gardens. General Ulysses S. Grant, presidential nominee, was in the stands, and General James A. Garfield, then in Congress but later to become President,. gave the oration.

Each year, on Memorial Day, the American people grace the graves of their fallen heroes, in tribute to the thousands of these heroes, and, in their hearts, recall the young man or young woman who lay down his life in a faraway land, in defense of his Homeland.

American mothers especially, approach this day with heavy hearts, but with a proud heart go to the graves and lay flowers or wreaths on their fallen sons. If this is not possible, then they pay tribute with memories and prayers, going back, in a fleeting moment, to the final resting place of

17 their loved one.

It is fitting and proper that this day in May be set aside to pay hommage and respect to our fallen dead — to those who gave the last measure of devotion in order to preserve this free land of ours. Thank God for it! These honored dead deserve our tributes and respect, and our gratitude. We must Dever forget them!

Their sacrifices should serve as reminders to people of good will everywhere, to be ever on guard to protect the precious heritage that they helped preserve. .• Memorial Day is in tribute to ALL fallen Americans in all encounters since this country was born on the shores of Jamestown, Virginia. Let not this day be blemished by gawdy displays of jubilation and fanfare, but instead be dedicated in solemnity to those who so richly deserve everlasting gratitude.

Finally, we offer this well-known poem, Written ,dufing World War I, but which conveys, we think, appropriate thoughts for this day! (If you've never visited a military cemetery, you have a very moving experience awaiting you). ) 0 IN FLANDERS FIELD

By John McCrae In Flanders field, the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; And in the sky the larks, Still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders field.

Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high, If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fielc• • (This poem was written in the spring of 1915, after the terrible battle of Ypres, France. It expresses very truly bow men felt in those days of the first World War. It was first published in "Punch," and became popular in the armies and throughout the war-torn world. John. McCrae was a young Canadian doctor, who lost his life in service in Flanders in January, 1918.

Flanders is a district comprising a western section of Belgium, a northern area of France, and southwest q.nd.)

(A letter to the Editor) U Dear Brother Nick, Let me say that I was very elated over your wonderful editorial in this week's Vestnik to all lodges regarding Various activities available to them for mass partieipation.

Each lodge can adapt themselves 'o whatever they feel is more suited to their capabilities, and, in that way, create more interest in their lodge and their affairs.

VESTNtIC The one-act plays and group singing are wonderful stimulants, and you could also add the teaching of the "Beseda" dance.

In regards to referring to me for any assistance I may give, in regards to starting a choir or choral group, it will indeed be a pleasure and a privilege to work with any lodge that wishes to start a singing group of that type.

Please feel free to contact me at any time.

As you probably know hy now, our Choral Group now has a Czech Album on the market entitled "Golden Czech Me aeries." All titles on the albutu are in English and Czech with a full color picture of the 45-voice choir in full "kroje." The album consists of 13 Czech songs; 7 on one side and 6 on the other, and plays for 34 minutes (both s1des).

This was accomplished in only 21/2 years, since the Czech Choral Group of Lodge 84, Dallas, was organized in September of 1960, and we cut our record tape in March, 1963.

If we can do this, any other lodge can too, and I will be,glad to give them any support I can On Sunday, Jude 16th, The Czech Choral Group wi/l present a MusicalVariety Show ant supper. This is just what the name implies Variety — and we'll have it —: comedy, drama, comedy, singing, comedy, etc., --- certainly would like for you and your family to joir. us on that evening for refreshing entertainment and enjoy yourselves. Will close for now. Thanks, Brother NE for the wonderful ideas and suggest ;Oils you have offered over tie period of time yeti have been Fraternally yours, editor.

Dear Friends: It's about time for me to send in a ,report. We have been busy with the last days of school activities and there was no time for writing..

We had a fairly good attendance at our last meeting and we expect a better one in our next one, which will be held in our new hail. All of you are invited to come and offer your criticism goad o' bad. We have heard quite a bit of bad already. Mostly "why -wasn't this bigger?" and 'that could have been bigger," and so on but, sisters and brothers, if things would be bigger the cost woudd be bigger, too, so let us be satisfied with what we have, As far as we are concerned, We. will have a wonderful hail — the prettiest one anywhere in Central Texas. So come out to the meeting and see.

In our next meetin g , we will also have our by-laws ready for adoption, correction, or rejection, As you know, most of them had to be completely done away with because of our .new building.

A moment of silence was held for our deceased brother. Joe Blazek, who

lif1STNIK passed away Iast month. To the bereaved family, we extend our deepest sympathy and may our departed bintoe-" rest in pea!e.

New members adinated into our lodge were: (Adult Department): Brothers Ignac Malcik, Nick DeMaria, Sisters Blanche Malcik, and Evelyn Bartok; (Juvenile Department) : Sisters Barbara. Kay Malcik, Joyce Ann Malcik, Karen Ruth Kohutek, Donna Ray Kohntek, and Geneva Kay Bartek.

1,onis John Robutek. took out an additional policy. We welcome all of these new members, and thank the solicitors for getting these members, Brother Frank V. Spanhel reported that Mr. Walker, owner of Temple Granite Woks, will donate the plaque which will be placed in the entry of our hall.

A committee of seven members was elected to revise the by-laws. Those on the committee are: Brothers F. E. Jr. Johnny Vanicek, Frank Klinkovsky, Anton Motl, Ed Pechal, Frank Spanhel, and Sister Clara Heil, A committee was elected to investigate a new cooler. Those on this committee are: Brothers Jerry Pechal, Edwin Chlapek, and Dennis Bartek.

The building committee was authorized to order the tables and chairs.

If any of you need some kindling to use under the wash pot, all you need to do is come and get it; however, you must not pick up just what pieces you want; you must pick up to clean up. Brothers and sisters, there is much Work to be done around the hall. You do not have to be asked to help clean up, just come over and start cleaning.

The hail belongs to all of us and it is our duty to help all we can. Brother Heil worked two half days this week with his hired band. Instead of chopping cotton they worked at the hall.

We are hoping or planning on having our open house on Sunday, July 28, and that time is not too far away, so we'd better get to hustling. The sisters will have to make the curtains, so if any cf you seamstresses wish to help, let us know. Our job will come after the ball is completed. We will have to clean the windows and cabinets, etc. Let us know whether you want to help, and then we'll let you know when the day to work will be.

Those of you who have pledged to lend us money, the notes will be ready in our next meeting, so remember your pledge.

So far, we have booked every Saturday beginning on August 3, through December 31. Anyone wishing to have

19

a wedding dance on one of the Saturdays will have to take the orchestra that we have booked . Doi not book a ,dance or any party unless you contact us because we might have a conflict with some other function.

Please remember this. We have made many changes, so maybe you might 'wish to have your dance elsewhere after you hear what we have to offer. We think that our hall will be the most :modern of any hall, and We are sure that even our terms will be satisfactory.

My rambling has gone far enough for today, so let us remember to come to the next meeting, which will be held Sunday, June 2, at 2 p.m. in the new hall.

Fraternally, Clara Hejl, Reporter 101 LODGE NO. 84, DALLAS

Dear Members and Friends: Our monthly meeting was held last Sunday, May 19th.

We had a wonderful turnout of members and we urge all of you to keep this up because it makes the officers of the lodge, feel great to look out into a room filled to capacity.

Due to the absence of our President, Bro. Bid Pokladnik, who had to fulfill ether obligations, our Vice President Bro. Ben Jarma presided over the meeting, and may we say "thanks," Ben, for a job well done.

Various business matters were discussed. To name one in particular: the choral group of our lodge announced they were getting all primed for a variety show they will present for the purpose of raising funds for the choral group. So far, I have only the date, which will be June 16th, the same day also being Father's Day. We do hope you will start making plans to bring your fathers out to enjoy a variety of comedy and singing. More details will be announced next week.

After the meeting we held our usual family night social which started out with a delicious meal, prepared and served by Brother and Sister Frank and Evelyn Henzen. Thanks to both of you for your efforts!

After everyone was served Bro. Frank surprised us with the announcement that our choral group record was in and will be on the market right away.

The evening was enjoyed by all, and all are looking forward to next month's meeting.

The Youth Camp project was discussed at some length, and it was sup- ported by a majority of those present; at least, there were no dissenting voices. Those who spoke in favor of the Youth Camp project were Bros. V. H. Barina, J. B. Hejny, E. E. Krenek, Rudy Sefcik, and your editor, Nick Morris.

Also, Bros. E. L. March and Jos. Koliha of the Supreme Lodge. All pointed out the dignified showcase of our efforts, the SPJST Rest Home in Taylor, and that we should now set our sights on the SPJST Youth Camp. Brother Arnold M. Vrla, of District III spoke at length in explaining the thinking on the project up to now, and emphasized that in no way is it to be construed that the camp is to be situated in District III; that will be determined by a Site Committee when the time arrives to choose a site. All of the speakers urged members to think about and discuss this project in their coining lodge meetings, so that delegates may be prepared to discuss and vote on the matter at the next Convention. It was felt that "talking it up" this far ahead of time is a good idea, in order to ac-

I want to thank all the parents for bringing their children out to participate in our youth program. We received many compliments on our program. It always gives me pleasure to work with these children. Our new queen for District One was crowned, and she is our own Shirley Cech from Lodge No. 39, of whom we are very proud. Shirley has been a very faithful member of our youth club ever since it was originated. She has missed very few meetin gs local, district, or state, since the very beginning. We will really loose a worker when the time comes for her to leave the youth club. Our new duchess is Darleen Matejka, also a very sweet, faithful worker of our club. She also has a very

Dear Members and Friends, The Youth. Club will have its second rehearsal ; on Wednesday night, May 29th, beginning at 7:30 o'clock.

This rehearsal is for the Mother's and Father's Day program, which will be held June 9. Shirley Marek and Mrs. Helen Cepak taught the older group to dance and Estelle Marel: and Frankie Mae Mikeska taught the younger group.

They sure did a fine job.

Part of my last letter to the Vestnik was misplaced. I had expressed thanks to Lodge 66 for the nice time I had there. We enjoyed the meeting and I hope some of the members visit our lodge at West.

My brother, Pvt. Marvin Volcik, will get a furlough from the Army in June. He is stationed in Indianapolis, Indiana. He works in the I.T. S. Army Adjutant General School, sending out by mail correspondence courses to students.

We also will play baseball after the program, so bring your gloves and play ball with us.

Your reporter, Charlene Volcik )O( LODGE 73, SEYMOUR Dear Vestnik Readers: School is out and am I glad! I'm planning to go to Dallas for a week's vacation and visit with my aunt and uncle.

Our youth leader, Mrs.. Frank Marek, is ill. She was dismissed from the hospital. Here's wishing her a speedy recovery.

We didn't have our last meeting due to bad weather. Our next meeting is June 2nd. Please come, so we can have a good meeting.

Fraternally yours, Janet Pavliska ) O.( LODGE 66, WACO Dear Readers, I have some information about the land from where our ancestors came, Czechoslovakia. I had some time left one day - during my study hall class to go and look up a reference book that the students had received from a family who felt that our studyhall class needed the books. This is what I found: Czechoslovakia was given its name by two types of people, the Czechs and the Slovaks. Its total area is 54,244 square miles, and its population was over 13,600,000 people. The government is communist and has been ruled by the communists since

26 1948. Strikingly similar in form to that of the United States, the government of Czechoslovakia is headed by a President and has a legislative body known as the National Parliament. The President holds Office for several years and members of the National Parliament serve a term of 6:vears. Forty per cent of the people of Czechoslovakia are normally engaged in agriculture and forestry. Education is compulsory for children from six to fourteen. This is only a little of the information that I picked up. The national song is "Kde domovy mur (Where is my homeland?)

With only five more days left until school is out, I have to keep studying until the last minute, when school is dismissed for the summer.

I had better close now and let you go about your business and I to my studying.

Yours very truly, Jean Spence, Youth. Club Queen )O) LODGE 66, WACO Dear Readers,.

The last meeting was called to order by „President Otto Harms on May 19, 1963. The Pledge of Allegiance was led

by Sharon - Engelke, Francis Miller, and Mary Nell Narovec. The Lodge Pledge_ was led by Cindy Moore, Barbara Gaidusek, and Norma Hensel We recognized all our new members and guests. We also recognized our three students who are graduating from high school. They were: Catherine Clay, Elaine Reznicek, and Joyce Goeke.

Mrs. Engelke reported that the youth are going to have a picnic for everybody on June 9 and a cake sale on June 1. After Mrs. Engelke's report the youth left to make ready for the Mother's and Father's Day program.

After the program the mothers and fathers modeled their hats which they had made. The ones who entered the contest were: Annie Hanus, Emil Hanus, Gaidusek, Johnny Gaidusek, DOrothy Moore, Rosemary Spence, Matilda Hanus, Frances Moore, Darlene Engelke, Emma Ceska, and Mr. and Mrs. Trefny. The winners of the contest were: first place, Matilda Hanus; second place, Darlene Engelke; third place, Frances Moore; the best smile, Dorothy Moore. Congratulations to the winners, thanks to the parents for the lovely hat-modeling job.

I will have to close for now for I must finish studying for my first final exam. So, I will close for now,

Since I took time out today to write

VESTNIK. this report, I was thinking that maybe some of the members and friends would like to know the whereabouts of our former First Queen of 1959, Janie Hubik. She is now married to Rudolph Rejcck, for almost a. year, July 14th. I know she was well known in DistrictThree, and that they all still remember her. She also was the first president of our club when we first organized in 1959. In behalf of the club and myself, we would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our former queen and her husband in being blessed with a bouncing baby boy born on April 26th, 1963. His name is Steven Wayne. They are now living at 411 Church St., Killeen, Texas. Most all of us are still together Since being organized and those past officers, and Meinhers who grew up and are now scattered in schools or who got married are all still remembered.

Fraternally yours, Ruth Krizan, Youth Leader

GRADUATION DAYS — 1963 You have now traveled about onefourth of life's journey. Three-fourths still lie ahead.

You are no doubt joyful that this part of your life is over. Puhaps you thought at times that this moment would never come. It took so long!

There were maybe a very small number who dro PPed out before the goal was reached. We should hope there were very few indeed, perhaps none.

How well you travel the other threefourths of life's journey, how successfully you can endure its bitterness, its failures, its pitfalls, yes, and even its sweetness, will depend much on how you travelled this first quarter. Certainly there should be no regrets, even though you may have had a "falling out" with your algebra teacher, or look back with self-pity at the time when you KNOW you should have made an A and the teacher gave you a B for the course. Of such incidences are high school days made.

Joy, happiness, and a certain amount of nostalgia will be yours during this 1963 graduation season, just as it has for many years past and will be for years to come. Many have gone ahead of you, and many will follow you. In that respect, you're nothing special.

But — this is YOUR year, YOUR time to rejoice over having completed 12 years of academic schooling. It's like getting married. Millions of marriages have taken place, but YOURS is yours, and nobody else's. YOU are the graduating class of 1963!

You say you've had worries, work, and sorrow back through the past few

_

years. You'll continue to have them; they'll be of a different variety, however. Phase II of your life will bring even greater responsibility upon your -shoulders. Can you take it? Sure you can! The world is a bitter but good teacher, better than any you've had so far. It may be your lot to take care of invalid parents, assume a major role in the family business, continue your education in an institute of higher learning, or simply go right out next week, find a job, go to work, get married, and raise a family. Either route carries with it grave responsibilities.

Be hopeful, develop an early sense or values, devote time and energy to things that matter, leave trivia aside, and remember, despite all the "gimmicks" that have been tried only a few have achieved success, the key to it is still hard, consistent devotion to turning out a. day's work, in whatever endeavor you find yourself.

Be mindful of your own limitations.

Don't try to reform the whole world; you'll spend a miserable lifetime trying to do it. Smile at adversity, laugh at your errors, and keep going. This country needs all the talent it can get, including yours. The times ahead will demand more of each of us, and in each field of human activity the competition for excellence will be stiffened.

May every success be yours. Your family and your community are proud of you our fledgling citizens. Assume your role vigorously. We congratulate all of you on this occasion, and offer our sincere best wishes for a long, bright, and fruitful future,
