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.

THE BUSINESS WORLD A better business education - a better business world. The Business Club started off with a bang this year with an enroll- ment ot forty-five -the largest recorded for Patrick Henry. The purpose of the club is to broaden the knowledge of busi- ness so that one might consider the vocational opportunities in the business field as well as the atti- tude needed to attain success. The club had a very busy schedule in l965-66. With such events as tours, parties, speakers, and a picnic in May, the members made it a point to attend each meeting. Officers Teresa Hamilton, Gail Douglas, and B. J. Floyd.
