Think-this has been the motto of the Patrick Henry Liberal Arts Club. In its second year the Club has sponsored movies, discussions, and speakers. These highly en- lightening activities were all in- tended to invigorate the minds ot the club's members ,to inspire them to contemplate ,matters overlooked by most high school students. This year's officers were Jonah Levin, president, Diane Race, vice-presi- dent, Gayle Waymack, treasurer, Chess Division Chairman, Joe Haw- kins, Program Chairman, Tommy Waterman. This year the Chess Division of Liberal Arts Club was particularly active. The chess team had many intramural matches and in two matches with out-of-state schools, they broke even, winning one and losing one. Officers of the Liberal Arts Club were Tommy Waterman, Gayle Waymack, Jonah Levin, Dianne Racie, and Joe Hawkins, Chuck Davies and Johnny Engleby provide a picture of con- centration as Chuck searches for a counter-move.

Mary Ann Atkins, and Allen Hayes assist the Orator sponsor, Miss Shanks, in planning the format of the Latin newspaper. LA LIBERTE Furthers French Culture, Mind And Speech C'est magnificent! These words accurately describe the con- tinuous work the La Liberte staff has put into the newspaper. Every- day during fifth period, staff re- porters met to write articles. Be- cause all items were written in French, students must have had at least two years of French as pre- requisite to staff membership. The yearly six editions of the paper contained numerous articles of in- terest, news features on historical and modern France, comments on school, city and national affairs, social events, and French jokes. The newspaper, headed by Co-edi- tors Jean Blevins and Sharon Step- hens, received a First Place award from the Columbia Press, proof of the hard work put into La Liberte. At the April meeting of the Southern lnterscholastic Press As- sociation, Madame Henriette Fall- well, La Liberte sponsor, was the recipient of an honorary award. Her knowledge, hard work and the service she has given to promote a better French-American rela- tionship made her well qualified. Orator Promotes Old, Animated Language The Latin newspaper, Orator, is one of the five publications at Patrick Henry. In a very short time the paper has established itself as an important component of Patrick Henry's literary efforts. ln only its second year Orotor re- ceived a First Place in the Colum- bia Press Association ratings. In i962-63 three issues were published. The entire advanced Latin class was the staff, with Emily Gearhart, Editor, Mary Ann Atkins, Assistant Editor, and Geof Brown, Business Manager, direct- ing the work. All the newspaper's work was done during the class period. Orator, considered a de- partmental publication, contained many articles written in Latin, but also English essays, editorials, and school news. Orator. a g a i n achieved its aim of providing for Latin students good reading enter- tainment and excellent writing opportunities. Staff members Joan Craig, Jane Mastin, Cindy Leeds, Sarah Ross, Martha Maddoz, Sharon Stephens, Madame Fallwell, Jean Blevins, Jerry Hildebrand, and Rita Burroughs proof read the latest edition of La Liberte. 79
