The Society of Arts

In the early 1960s while I was a Medical Student at the Medical Faculty, studies were timed for 3 months before each exam. The earlier months were spent attending lectures. During this time, cinema shows, school fairs, plays staged at the Lionel Wendt, Tower Hall etc, sports and long walks filled a medico’s life. There was a 'hi-fi' crowd which patronized a ‘Society of Arts’ where western classical music was performed. One day there was a big notice in the lobby which invited students to attend a performance of western classical music. It stated 

The Society of Arts

The next morning some wag had added an F in front of the word Arts, producing a lot of hilarity among the medicos who passed the lobby. The notice disappeared by evening.
