Contrary to popular belief, the Liberal Arts club is not a club for geniuses or people who plan to at- tend liberal arts colleges. lt is a club for people who enjoy interest- ing speakers and discussions of the controversial issues of our time. Programs for this year have in- cluded speakers who have traveled all over the world and discussions on everything from Viet Nam to an honor system at Patrick Henry. ln all the discussions and lectures, the motto of the club has remain- ed, You can say anything here. Officers for i965-66 were Janice Horner, President, Elizabeth Horner, Vice-President, Sterling Kephart, Secretary-Treasurer, and Paul Felton, Program Chairman. Mr. Porterfield served as sponsor. era rts assembly. Interesting programs are fun to plan. 83

arole Thurston and Piwacket cost a spell. The seance scene from BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE. Marty Corstaphney, President, Mary Anne Mullins, Vice President, Laura Pharis, Sec- retary, and Robert Manetta, Treasurer, were the Players' officers, COMEDY, TRAGEDY, MELODRAMA THE PLAY IS THE THING Three major productions and a one-act play kept the Patrick Henry Players in a mad rush to learn lines and paint sets before curtain time. Students working on these plays earned points for mem- bership in the National Thespian Society. ln November, Bell, Book and Candle, a comedy by John van Druten, was presented. This play centered on a young witch's prob- lems with mortals. Jean Anouilh's modern interpre- tation of Antigone was chosen for the winter play. This tragedy of a Greek princess dealt with the laws of God in conflict with those of man. At the One-Act Play Festival, the Players presented The Fumed Oak, an unpleasant comedy in two scenes by Noel Coward. Fine Arts and Drama cooperated on the fourth annual Spring Serata in May. Acting awards were given and new Thespians were introduced at the Thespian banquet which mark- ed the end of another year for the Patrick Henry Players.
