House Guests for a Week The preparation for their visit lasted for a year; they stayed only four days. On Tuesday, October 18, the Vis- iting Committee was greeted at the doors of Monacan High School, and over twelve months of hard work was ready to be evaluated.

On the following day, Wednesday, the members divided them- selves into groups and met their designated committees in order to discuss different aspects of Monacan’s cCurricu- lum and facilities.
