The Theatre 3 campaign will begin June 2 with the annual Presi- dent’s Dinner and will continue through the summer. Lou Goeringer Predicts Have your taste buds ever gone on a world tour in one night? Those of 200 lucky people did last Tuesday evening when the Future Teachers of America Club of Lake-Lehman sponsored the school’s first “International Night,” a buffet dinner. Guests were delighted with the variety of tasty cuisine and wildly exotic atmosphere. Amidst a springtime motif of daffodils and greenery, student waitresses: modeled originally- designed foreign costumes, foreign music was heard, and international decor was at- tractively displayed in the cafeteria. The dishes, a representative of some 20 different corners of the world, ranged from a Pennsylvania Dutch casserole of simplicity to a Pakistani entree of extravagance. Local connoisseurs were kept busy sampling as many novelty '13" will be Lucky for Theatre 3 The bad luck superstitions traditionally sourrounding the number “13” will reverse them- selves this year, according to Lou Goeringer of Dallas, 1971-72 general chairman for College Misericordia’s Theatre 3 organization. This year will be the organization’s 13th year of presenting top entertainment in Wyom#g Valley and will prove to be a lucky one for everyone - who appreciates good enter- tainmery Over “the past 12 years, Theatre 3 has brought many internationally famous per- formers to the Valley, ac- cording to Mr. Goeringer. Some of the. more memorable presentations were the French pantomime artist Marcel Marceau, the world famous Arthur Feidler and the Boston Pops Orchestra, Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians, Mantovani, and the exciting piano team of Ferrante & Teicher. For the 1971-72 entertainment season beginning next fall, Theatre 3 will present the popular singer John Gary, the 100-piece Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, and the dynamic Young Americans, a group of young collegians who have sung and danced their way to inter- national fame. The Theatre 3 organization is also looking to this year to be a lucky one in terms of benefactors. The annual campaign for benefactors will begin June 2 with the annual President’s ‘Dinner at College Misericordia. The dinner tradi- tionally honors past benefactors Ramapo Students Are Lake-Lehman Guests Eighte (, high school students from Ramapo Senior High School are expected to arrive today for a five-day stay with students@f Lake Lehman High School and their families.

These activities “will in- clude an all-day picnic at Ricketts Glen; dinner at a fine local restaurant, a visit to the Fine Arts Fiesta in Wilkes- Barre; viewing of Little Theater’s production, ‘‘Sweet Charity’; and a bonfire-picnic at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Al- bert Ashton. The guests will attend classes at Lake-Lehman School during their stay and participate in panel discussions set up in var- ious classes. Following their arrival at the high school today, a coffee and doughnut hour will be held to acquaint the host families and students. Funds with which to entertain the exchange students were raised at an ‘‘International Night” held at the high school May 11. and serves as the starting point for the new year’s campaign. To become a benefactor, a person contributes $100 to Theatre 3 for use in the growth and development of College Misericordia. The contribution entitles the benefactor to two reserved seats for each of the three Theatre 3 performances. Robert J. Gower, college coordinator for College Misericordia’s Theatre 3, sees the benefactor’s benefits from the contribution as twofold. “Besides the obvious benefit of having two reserved seats for some of the best entertainment in Wyoming Valley, benefactors also have the reassurance that they are sharing in the fur- therance of higher education and the dissemination of culture within the community,” Mr. Gower said. The 1971-72 Theatre 3 cam- paign goal will be 300 new benefactors.
