VOL. LII CHICAGO, ILL., SEPTEMBER, 1958 No. 7
A Message trom President Rickan
Let my first words be those of gratitude to all delegates
who had a part in re-electing me President of the A.U.S.S.
I assure you that I was touched by your demonstration of
confidence. I could not help but feel assured that the ac-complishments
of the previous four years were appreciated.
I feel very deeply the responsibilities that rests upon
me in this position, therefore my one ambition is to have
our organization continue to retain its high standard, an
organization in which we singers can be proud to be mem-bers.
I am certain you will all agree our recent convention
demonstrated just that. Therefore it is a great honor to
be its president.
There are trying days when all qualities of constructive
leadership are put to test, therefore I am under no illu-sions.
While I am very happy over this wonderful demon-stration
of confidence, I am mindful of all the duties and
obligations this office holds, realizing fully the ensuing
four years are going to be a continuous contest, yet I have
complete confidence despite my own limitations that this
administration will measure up to our past record and
carry forward the banner of the A.U.S.S.
I renew all promises I made at the beginning of my first
term of office; I will apply myself, God willing, to do the
task the best I can.
At this time I also wish to express my sincere thanks
and appreciation for a job well done to the Scandia Male
Chorus Convention Committee and its very able leaders,
Brother Knute Borg and Mrs. Eric Sholund including her
ladies for such a brilliant exhibit of intensive planning
and hard work. A convention so prominent can only be
written into the A.U.S.S. records as one of the best.
Med Sangarhalsning,
Gustaf E. Rickan
