But the English Department does not specialize in class rooms only. For those students who have a talent for dramatics, there is an opportunity to act in the annual fall play. This year's play, a comedy called My Three Angels, was successful as a result of many hours of hard practice. For those with a speaking ability there is the Forensics Society which gives them a time to practice and display their talents. I There is also a reading course under the direction of Mr. Joseph Lipp which aids those students who are not proficient in their reading ability. This course prepares the student to complete his education and life on a more improved scale. Students who are in need of further improvement in their reading ability are encouraged to participate in this reading course. The knowledge which the English Department plants in the mind of the student is of infinite value, B.A., St. Edwards University Religion II Stage Crew Moderator MR.

ROBERT LARKIN B.A.. Iona University English III Citizenship Varsity Baseball j,V. Football The desire in man to know the truth is great, and it is the aim of the English De- partment to fulfill this desire. This aim, to instill in the student an appreciation and enjoyment of certain literary qualities, is accomplished in many various Ways. The Freshman and Sophomore years are spent in the study of grammar, vocabulary and the bases of literary composition. In the junior and Senior year the student begins to study the various forms of American and English literature. This is brought about by class discussions, develop- ment of critical analysis, and creative Writing. These discussions lead to intellectual curiosities which are fundamental to genuine appreciation of literature, One of the prime goals of the English Department is to give the student training so that he may build for himself an outlet for his opinions, his ideas and for his criticisms. This department has for a goal the development, not of a skill, but of an instrument whereby the student can express himself, his beliefs, his theories, and his talents through creative writing.
