campaign with general chairman, Lou Goeringer of Dallas. 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. The
visit represents the second part
of an exchange program in
which members of Lake:
Lehman’s Future Teachers of
America have participated.
While in the Back Mountain
community, the Ramapo stu-
dents will enjoy a full round of
special activities planned for

them. 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.
Students Enjoy
Annual Picnic:
The annual College Miseri-
cordia student-faculty picnic
was held on campus Wednesday
evening, despite the unseason-
ably cold, rainy weather. Spon-
sored by the student govern-
ment of the college, the picnic
traditionally fetes members of
the faculty, administration, and
staff and their families as the
end of the academic year draws
near.
Persons attending were
treated to picnic lunch provided
by the College Misericordia
food services personnel. Later,
the children attending partici-
pated in a series of games
conducted by the students with
prizes awarded to all the win-
ners. A scheduled softball game
between the students and
faculty was cancelled due to
rain.

As a special treat, 35 different
foreign desserts and 10 different

much to the delight of all in

donated and prepared by people
of the community as well as by
high school students and
faculty.

personnel.
The purpose of International
Night was to raise funds to
enable Lake-Lehman’s FTA to
host 18 students and a faculty
advisor from Ramapo High
School, Spring Valley, N.Y., in
an especially gracious manner.
The students of both schools are
participating in an exchange
program; earlier in March, 18
Lake-Lehman students were
hosted by Spring Valley
students and their families.
Although the club ‘is com-
prised of only 20 active’ mem-
bers, the scope of the affair was
a large one and proved so
successful that the dinner may
well become a tradition at the
local high school.
