Foundations , of Bethany Prisms: angles-color. Bethany is an inter- locking network of people, faces, and histo- ry which holds a special place in the hearts of all those who are connected with this home in the woods. The frames which hold the many build- ings together are prisms which contain in them the history of Old Bethany. If these frames could talk, what stories they could tell. The sound of voices, the sight of peo- ple. Those happy smiling faces. Friend- ships. The spectrum is wide when we look at the various paths, views and backgrounds from which each individual from Bethany has come. Our network of people and back- grounds is what makes Bethany so unique. This uniqueness extends to the architec- ture of its buildings. These frames hold within them the personality of the entire college community, for the strength of their architecture is a reflection of the strength of our student body.

And the curtain rises to introduce yet another stunning performance by the Bethany Theatre Department. Bethanians may not realize how fortu- nate they are to be exposed to such su- perb talent in the arts. Directed by Dr. Judy, this group has proven itself to be outstanding entertainers and artists in the community. Their productions for the year included Fantasticks, The Men- aechmi, The Comdey of Errors, Leaving, and The Laurel Mantis which was written and directed by Beth- anian Scott Luckhardt. The second semester brought a series of one-act plays. The first, presented as A Night of One- Acts, consisted of The Lost Kiss, directed by Francesca El- ston and The American Dream direct- ed by Paul Kingman. The second was presented in conjunction with Alpha Psi Omega ' s Dinner Theatre and included The Bear directed by Rory Scultz, A Good time directed by Peter Fitzkee, and Infancy directed by Randy Bailey. They concluded their season with the hilarious musical A Funny Thing Hap- pened On The Way To The Forum. It was a great year for the Bethany College Theatre Department. Congratulations are in order to this fine department for offering yet another colorful angle to the Bethany Prism. — KLT, RLH 12
