SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY EVENTS

The sons and daughters of our pioneers planned a series of events to take place during the 75th year.

The first celebration was a showing of the film "Eleni" at the Drexel Theater in Bexley on the evening of May 24. The author,
Nicholas Gage (Gatzoyiannis), flew in for a personal appearance and addressed the group prior to the showing. The movie is based on his book, which chronicles the events of his mother's betrayal and death at the hands of the communists in Northern Greece in 1949. Nick Gage has won literary awards for his brilliance in investigative reporting, and Eleni is a prime example of his writing gift,

Meeting with Mr. Gage are Mr. and Mrs. Evangelos Zissis. (Billie Chakeres looks on.)

Two ongoing projects which have been taking shape over this year are this album and the Hippocrates statue being sculpted by Mrs. Anna Christoforides. She was commissioned early in the year to sculpt a statue which will be placed in a plaza in front of Meiling Hall at The Ohio State University. Made of bronze, the bust will rest on a granite pedestal The total piece will be 8 1/2 feet tall with the unveiling scheduled to take place at the spring quarter graduation of 1988.
