to commemorate the day. The Church welcomed its Junior and Youth Choirs on July 27, 1961. Composed of forty-four members, the choirs were founded by and are under the direction of Mrs. Tom Saris. The purpose of these choirs is to train and prepare the young people to become members of the Senior Choir and to better know and understand the Liturgy and special hymns for the feast days.

A belated event finally came to its rightful fulfillment
on November 12, 1961, when a memorial monument and plaque was completed and dedicated at the north front of the Church, commemorating the boys of our community who gave their lives for their Country during World War II. Appearing on the plaque are the names:

Anthony Genoozis*
Chris Kanatas*
Stephen L. Rollis"2" John G. Steffens*

Among the dignitaries attending the ceremonies were Mark McElroy, Attorney General of Ohio, the representa- tive of the Greek Consulate of Chicago, and an honor guard from Lockbourne Air Force Base. Thomas Kanatas, president of the Community, and Spiro Bleas, chairman of the event, placed a wreath at the foot of the monument
