RE
Enthusiasm and energy
prevail in the Frank
Zurinski family of Har-
veys Lake and there's
little doubt from whom
it’s inherited.
Mrs. Zurinski
‘‘Marian’’ radiates en-
thusiasm throughout her
entire = conversation
whether she talks about
her family, work, crafts,
bingo, or friends.
The former Marian
Maceiko, whose parents
lived at Harveys Lake
since 1954, she was born
and raised in Hanover
Township and graduated
from Hanover Township
High School. She also
graduated from College
Misericordia with a
degree in secondary
education with an English
major.
“I first taught in Net-
cong, N.J., for three years
after graduation from
college,”’ said Marian.
“Then I returned to the
area and taught in West
Wyoming for a short time
until I married Frank,
who lived in Luzerne.
“We moved to
Dunellon, N.J., where we
lived until we came to the
Lake in 1967."
The Zurinskis have
three children, Debbie,
sophomore at College
Misericordia; Mark,
junior at Lake-Lehman
High School; and Judy,
freshman at Lake-
Lehman.
All three are just as
enthusiastic - as their
mother leading one to
believe enthusiasm might
be infectious.
Debbie was a member
of the award-winning
Lake-Lehman Band, and
Judy iS currently a
member. But not Mark,
who prefers to play base-
ball.
Marian Zurinski
teaches English at
Hanover, where she
started in 1967. ‘I con-
tinue to teach so I don’t
have to do any work at
home,’’ she said. But we
suspect that is not exactly
so since her home is at-
tractively furnished and
immaculate.
She confessed that al-
though she complains, she
loves working with the
students. In 1973, she took
a group of 30 students to
England and in 1974, she
accompanied nine
students to Spain. Her
daughter, Debbie, also
went with them to
England.
avid supporter of the high
school band in past years
and has followed it to
Canada twice, West
Virginia, Virginia twice,
and to Sherburne.
She has a busy schedule
at school--teaches six
classes, 200-250 students
daily--also has one study
hall and a homeroom.
The Zurinski home
needs no calendar for
each holiday or season of
the year is evidenced by
several of the crafts
which decorate the rooms
according to date.
Crafts and bingo are
Marian’s special leisure
time interests.
She does a lot of
weaving (a fast disap-
pearing art). On her
livingroom wall is a wall

ribbon at the Luzerne
County Fair. On the Early
American davenport are
several woven pillows,
and when the occasion
warrants Marian has a
gray woven purse which
also won a blue ribbon at
the Fair.
As a departure from the
average pine cone
wreaths, Marian makes
pine cone baskets which
she fills with fruits or
gourds. These make
lovely gifts.
She also makes some
unusual items such as
Raggedy Ann and
Raggedy Andy dolls of
various colored felt at-
tached to ceiling tiles,
then framed.
Within the next week or
so, Marian will begin to
make beaded ornaments
for the family Christmas
tree.
For the past two years,
she has. demonstrated
weaving at the Folk
Festival held in the
Kingston Armory.
In addition to the above
crafts, Marian also does
macrame, knitting,
crocheting and em-
broidery. Among her
current projects is an
embroidered tablecloth.
She has completed
numerous afghans, so
many that members of
the family have their
favorite ones for. cam-
ping.
Marian's mother taught
her the various types of
family has his or her
individual = Christmas
stocking knitted by
Marian. She also em-
broiders hand towels for
use during the holiday
season, and makes raffia
dolls for the holidays.
This week the
characters made for
Halloween are being put
away and out will come
Tom Turkey and Mr. and
Mrs. Pilgrim and other
related characters.
Marian plays the piano
and cherishes the baby
grand piano which stands
in one corner of the
livingroom. ‘It is more
than 50 years old,”’ she
said ‘‘And just as
beautiful as the day it was
made--but it does need to
be tuned."
She loves to swim and
makes good use of
Hanover Township High
School’s swimming pool
and, of course, the lake
during the summer.
“For years I played taxi
driver, transporting the
children from here to
there but now that Debbie
and Mark drive and have
their own cars, I have
more time for myself.”
An assistant Brownie
Girl Scout leader for a
year, Marian also is
former treasurer of the
school’s credit union. She
is a member of
Cocaluschu and the Lake-
Lehman Band Parents
Association.
One year she was
and was responsible for
having the dinner moved
out of the cafeteria and to
the Country Club. That
year she made poinsettia
pins for everyone at the
dinner. i
Marian also is a
member of the National
Education Association,
Pennsylvania Education
Association and the
Hanover Area Education
Association.
She raises African
violets and for two years
she took gourmet classes
at Luzerne County
Community College.
“I learned to prepare a
variety of different
foods,” said Marian. ‘‘She
experimented on us,’ said
her children, all of whom
were present at the
meeting between Marian
and the Post reporter.
“I enjoy raising flowers
out-of-doors in season,”
said Marian ‘‘but we have
no vegetable garden. Our
soil conditions are not
right.”
Marian loves camping
and each year most of the
family spend several
weeks camping at the
Jersey Shore in their
camper. The Zurinskis
also do a lot of traveling
and have been from
Montreal, Maine, all
along the Eastern Coast to
the southern tip of
Florida. They also are
avid Phillies fans and
travel to Philadelphia
quite often to see their
time,’ said Marian
laughingly, “Is watching
other people work. But I
love to work myself as
long as it is not house-
work.’
While in England with
the group of students,
they stayed in a college
dormitory. Debbie left a
note for the girl in whege
room she stayed. The g?!
turned out to be a
Japanese girl who wrote
to Debbie. They became
pen pals and have ex-
changed some lovely
gifts. Debbie's most
recent was a beautiful,
large Japanese doll. The
two girls hope someday to
visit one another.
Marian's most recent
prized possessions are an
antique clock which she
had put in running con-
dition, and the game ball
she won at the Hanover-
Lake-Lehman game.
“I think T'll have the
players of both teams
autograph it,” said
Marian. ‘After all I teach
at ‘Hanover and I
graduated from Hanover.
My children attend Lake-
Lehman, Debbie
graduated from Lake-
Lehman. It makes for a
perfect situation.”
