FRIDAY, MARCH 25, 1949
Talent Will Out;
Hrivnak Attains
Musical Fame
Grocer's Son Now
Noted Accordionist
The ringing cash register and
the chitchat of customers still
make music at lirivnak's candy
store at 1333 Freeport Road, Tar
entum. But accordion rhythms no
longer filter through the door
leading to the living quarters
behind the store.
Instead of entertaining cus
tomers with his music, 19-year
old John Hrivnak, is pushing his
accordion buttons for fellow mu
sic-lovers during their after-class
hours at the College.
Outstanding Player
Until recently, modest John
was just another one of the 9,500
students at the College. Today
he is one of the outstanding ac
cordion players on the campus,
having won first place in the an
nual talent show with his accor
dion renditions of "Lady of Spain"
and "Dark Eyes."
Although scheduled to appear
last on the program of 12 per
formers, Johnny and his "Squeeze-
Box Renditions" garnered the first
place spot. John was selected by
the judges to be one of the five
finalists; final selection was made
by audience applause.
Numerous Requests
Since that night John has been
bombarded with requests to play
at numerous campus activities.
Although kept busy with his in
dustrial engineering studies, he
find s time to practice after dinner
every night, in his dormitory
room filled with fellow students.
"Hey, turn off the radio; John
ny's playing," is yelled down the
hallway.
"So many fellows crowd into
the loom," says John's roommate,
John Bixler, "I have to leap for
the top deck of the double-decker
bed to watch his fingers zip over
the keys."
This latest honor of being chos
en top performer in Penn State's
talent show caps a musical career
that began when John was 12
years old.
"Of course I would have rather
played football or baseball with
the other fellows than practice,"
admits John, "but my teacher,
Walter Grabowski, kept after
me."
Accordion Ensemble
While attending Har-Brack high
school, John was a member of the
accordion ensemble consisting of
14 accordionists. Outgrowing two
smaller accordions, John now
plays his classical, semi-classical,
and popular music on a 120-but
ton accordion.
Before entering college, John
played for numerous civic organ
izations including the New Ken
sington Lions Club, Tarentum
Lions Club, Kiwanis Club of
Springfield, and the Tarenturr► Ki
wanis Club. He also participated
in programs over radio station
WSHA, Grove City, and on the
Wilkins Amateur Hour, Pitts
burgh.
"Aw, go on and try out for the
talent show," John says his dormi
tory mates urged him.
It was not possible, however,
for John to participate in the
"dress rehearsals" for the show
because he had no way to tote
his big, heavy accordion to the
auditorium. His first and last "re
hearsal" for the show was when
he stepped in front of the foot
lights and played his way to top
honors.
A transfer student from Grove
City College, John came to Penn
State "because of its good engin
eering school." He lives in a
double room in one of the runner
ous temporary men's dormitories
erected by the College to meet
the critical housing shortage.
