Once students have learned to enjoy the arts, they are able to apply them with the proper inter- pretation and expression. The art department had provided seven exhibits this year. The major ones begin with the Faculty Exhibit in October, followed by the Second Contemporary Christian Art Festival, and the Graduates Exhibit. The music deparlnient also had their share of entertain- ment. The Annual ' inler Band Concert. Night at the Opera. the Spring Choir Concert, and the Christmas pro- gram. Mas.nijicat. BOBBY H.

LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE S. LECKIE M. GLAUNER J. SCHNABEL M. THRASHER The division of Language and Literature had as its chairman this year Dr. Leonard Roberts. There are 14 full and part-time members, representing some increased strength in English and speech. The division as a whole again sponsored the Canadian Players Foundation which brought us Shakespeare ' s Twelfth Night, and Shaw ' s Arms and the Man. English was made more effective by offering English Review, a course for freshmen needing individual help. The Department of Language, at the end of this year, is also looking forward to an expansion, due to the growing interest in languages in the present shrinking world. In drama, a fine major production this year was Antigone, with some one-act plays scheduled for the second semester. In speech, the Forensic Club participated in debating events in the area, aiming at varsity com- petition next year. The whole division feels that it has been braced by many new challenges. 0.
