FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS COMMITTEE FIRST ROW: Dr. J. Fisher, Miss Pendergast, R. Callan, Mr. Kowalski, Mr. Kiklier. SECOND ROW: Mr. Bremmer, Mr. Glann, Mr. McWilliams, J. Vermilye, Mr. Sullins. CONCERT AND ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE The Concert and Assembly Committee of ASBC is com- posed of ten faculty and twenty student members. The organi- zation is devoted to developing and furthering outside cultural activities on campus. The facul- ty members act only in an advi- sory capacity, and the student members are the only ones who have a vote in deciding policy and attractions for each year's program. This committee is open to any interested student. Now in its sixth year, the Festival of the Arts was con- ceived to give the college and community an additional aware- ness of the arts. Each spring it sponsors lectures, drama, con- certs, and exhibitions of fine and practical arts, and rare books - all directed to a specific theme. Past themes have been The Contemporary Scene, One Hundred Years of Art in commemoration of the col- Iege's centennial, The Roman- tic Temper, and Shakes- peare: Four Hundred Years. Principal speakers have been the finest that the -nation's scholarly and critical communi- ties have to offer, and the drawings, and other art work are artists whose works have ap- peared range in time and form from Aeschylus to Kandinsky. The Festival has encouraged arts locally, sponsoring pro- grams by Oswego's Civic Or- chestra and Art Guild and the college's drama, music, dance, art, and literary groups. The 1965 theme, continuing a panorama of art attitudes, is The World of Realism. Includ- ed in the program are a ballet version of Streetcar Named Desire, a Broadway adaptation of Spoon River Anthology, the Paris Chamber Orchestra, The Asian Dancers, a faculty con- cert, and a student-sponsored discussion of Ginsberg's Howl. FIRST ROW: N. Shupp. M. Maillot. SECOND ROW: A. Morabito, Mr. Glann, S. Rubenstein, D Argenziano. THIRD ROW: P. Martin, L. Stanton, Mr. Hyse, Mr. Hanks, Dr. Myers.

BLACKFRIARS Blackfriars, the drama group on Oswego's campus, is one of the oldest orga- nizations at Oswego. Since its foundation, the Blackfriars has sought to bring to campus audiences the best quality drama possible in academic theatre. 1 Throughout the years, Blackfriars has grown from a tiny struggling organiza- tion to one that counts for much in the cultural life of Oswego. The present academic staff, which now numbers six professional trained theatre people, acts in advising and directing capacities. The result is an organi- zation of which any academic theatre would be proud. Blackfriars presents a variety of dramatic activities. In addition to plays of a conventional nature, it produces experimental and avant-garde pieces and provides technical assistance for an active children's theatre program. The 1964-1965 season included the Children's Theatre production of Tale of An Alaskan Whale directed by Dr. Olla Rickett. This production was cast with Miss Strickland's third grade. The major Blackfriar productions were Moliere's The Would-Be-Gentleman, Harold Pinter's The Caretaker, and Christopher Fry's The Lady's Not For Burning. The Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan was produced through the combined efforts of Blackfriars and the Children's Theatre. 104 FIRST ROW: C. O'Mara, N. Guth- rie, C. Leon, S. Solli, K. Hanley, N.
