Julie Spinelli, chair of the 50th anniversary ball committee, explained that the Helicon Society was formed in 1952 by Hungarian immigrants to help foster appreciation of their culture, traditions and language. “Another aim was to help ease the arrival of new immigrants to Canada,‘ she said 'Vifith the outbreak of the 1956 revolution and subsequent influx of new immigrants, the society helped provide a sense of belonging to these new arn'vsis.‘ The Helicon Bail was started by a large and active contingent of young soci- ety members who wanted to celebrate their heritage in a way that was no longer allowed under the comâ€" munist regime 'Their drive, hard work and determination laid the foundation for the Helicon Ball and it is because of their efforts we were able to celebrate our 50th anni- versary this past Pebruary,’ said Ms Spinelli. I‘Wfiile the ball is now run mostly by second and third genâ€" eration Hungarians, we honour the traditions we have inherited and I hope that we can continue to enjoy this wonderful event for many more years to come."
