THE SUNDAY NEWS, OCTOBER 29, 1947-29 Lancaster Leiderkrantz It Means More Than Music To The Membership Mrs. Houston Rodgers, Columbia Rl, in 1965 discovered a cure for a malady which had dogged her for many years homesickness. Being a German warbride, Mrs. Rodgers found adjusting to the new way of life here a difficult task, complicated by her longing for the warm friendships of the fatherland. As a result, when the homesickness became too great, she, on several occasions, made pilgrimages back to Bavaria.

But all that is now past history, for Mrs. Rodgers this year What's Doing Here This Week Today Senior Class of Lancaster Catholic High School presenting drama, "Lost Horizon," in the school auditorium, 2 p.m.; Show will also be given Monday and Tuesday at 8 p.m. at the school. traditional German garb with the individuals' costumes varying to a great degree.

The Leiderkranz chorus recently participated in a Saen-gerfest in Philadelphia which is held every four years by fraternal organizations such as the Leiderkranz which are members of the North Eastern Saenger-bund (singing society). This year 2,500 singers took part.
