Fielding, vallas, is a’ newly-initiated member of Kappa Tau Alpha, journalism honor society, at The Pennsyl- vania State University. A 1969 graduate of Lake- Lehman High School, she is a junior majoring in journalism. Her parents are Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Fielding, RD 2, Dallas. at Penn State. * “Happy is the home where mother and daughters love and respect one another.” Confucius didn’t say it, but he might have if he’d lived long enough to meet Irene Passarella and her daughters, Karen and Donna. In a time when it is easy to think that teenagers never get along with their parents and parents never understand their teenaged children, the Pas- sarella girls are a refreshing sign that this is simply not true. Karen and Donna obviously like each other, and just as ob- viously think their mother is great. ‘“Mom’s a terrific cook,’’ says Karen, a junior at College Misericordia who is majoring in child psychology, f‘‘and she makes everything from scratch—she doesn’t like box mixes and stuff like that . . . ” Before Karen can finish, sister. Donna is adding other information about mother’s talents: ‘Not only does she have a white thumb from cooking, she has a green thumb for her gardening—you should see her ‘Little Soldiers’ out in our yard!’’ Irene Passarella’s Little Soldiers,” it turns out, are treasured fruit trees—apple, plum, cherry and pear. She beams when her daughters boast of her abilities, but modestly insists that they're exaggerating. Now her girls, Irene asserts—they’re really terrific. _ Happily, each is correct in her high opinion of the others. Karen, an attractive blonde, was fourth runner-up in the Miss Pocono Pageant last year and was named Miss Congeniality in contest. She is a dean’s list student at College Misericordia. Donna, who is graduating from Central Catholic High School this spring, is captain of the school’s strutters and won an honor scholarship from the Oak Hill Civic Association for academic excellence recently. She will follow in her sister’s footsteps next fall when she begins classes at Misericordia where she will study elemen- tary education. Donna will be presented by her Dad, Michael Passarella, at the upcoming Knights of Columbus Debutante Ball. Both girls share their mother’s enthusiasm for cooking, and family get- togethers and Sunday dinners are often as much fun preparing as they are eating, especially inasmuch all tasks are shared and the menus reflect the combined efforts of mother and daughters. Mr. Passarella, the head chef at Shadow brook in Tunkhan- nock, rates his wife’s and many stars—certainly the supreme compliment. Irene Passarella’s favorite recipes include those listed below, and her daughters. ob- serve that the Carrot Cake, Dream Bars and ‘‘Irene’s Cookies” are much appreciated at bake sales run by the Altar and Rosary Society of Gate of Heaven Church, an organiza- tion to which she belongs.

A program of Indian classical dance and music will be pre- sented May 26 at Wilkes College Center for the Performing Arts, Wilkes-Barre, with curtain at 8 p.m. The program includes the classical dance of India, being presented in the area for the first time. According to Prem K. Dwibedi, the program’s pur- pose is not solely entertain- ment. This performance features the instrumentation of 100 bells; the music of the melodious sitar and the tabla, first popularized in this country by Ravi Shan- kar; and a perfect and artistic pression, and portrayal. The style, Bharatnatyam, is one of the most subtle, sophiscated, and graceful dance motifs. It has survived in India for 3000 years, and is characterized by a harmonious blend of emotion, rhythm, and melody. Unlike ballet, the Indian dance form is performed to the accompani- ment of both vocal and orches- tral music, with each dance both a pure physical exercise and an interpretive, expressive one. The meaning of the song is conveyed through facial, hand, and body movements, with 40 different hand gestures em- ployed to express different meanings. The art, according to Mr. Dwivedi, is a form of yoga, and the motivation for a lifelong devotion to the dance form comes from an inner desire to make every performance a means of not only making the dancer one with the higher values, but also of taking the audience to that level.
