The department of Language, Literature, and Fine Arts at USC-S includes all aspects of culture which are unique but yet related. It is through this department that people are brought closer through an understanding of forms of communication, ideas expressed in literary works, and tastes in music and art. Because of the importance of understand- ing in today ' s world and the necessity of communication, requirements from this de- partment are necessary for graduation in every major course of study. At USC-S many techniques are used to make Language, Literature, and Fine Arts a real and personal experience for each student. In the language division, which includes German, French, and Spanish, points of grammar are taught in the classroom, and then a modern language lab offers students the opportunity to practice grammar and pronuncia- tion. The division of literature deals with literary works from various countries and periods of time. Plays which are sponsored by USC and other schools and presented at local theaters provide students a living experience in some of the works they study in class. Actually watching the production of The Class Menagerie written by Tennessee Williams made it easier to understand the words that had been written in a textbook. Another subject included in this department is that of journalism. Its objective is to teach students how to record an event accurately and to then report it as it occurred. Students are given a chance to practice by being assigned to cover events in the school and community such as convocation speakers, special events, arrival of dignitaries, and ball games. The final division is that of Fine Arts. It is taught only on a part time basis at night and is composed of general courses in art and music appreciation. Audio-visual aids serve to increase the effectiveness of the course. Language, Literature, And Fine Arts Upper right: Mr. Donald Knight, English and Division Coordinator.
