m UdlC An especially productive department at Monticcllo is the Music Department. This department, headed by Mr. Allan Sly, provides an outlet for the talents of the music students. It also endeavors to aid the other students of the college in acquiring an appreciation of music. The latter is accomplished by Friday night musicales given by the music faculty and some music students. Many of the Monticcllo girls and faculty have enjoyed these musical entertainments very much. Violin concerts given by Mrs. Sly, piano concerts given by Mr. Sly, Mr. Oldham, and Mr. Williams, and songs by Mrs. Bussey are part of the concerts. Allan Sly, Chairman Studied with Evlyn Howard Jones, Gustav Holst, Benjamin Dale, Arthur Hinton. Associate, University of Reading, Licentiate of Royal Academy of Music, London. Soloist with leading orchestras in England and Canada. On occasion, the music students gather in the instructors' music studios to play or sing for one another. They also offer constructive suggestions as to the technique or interpretation of the music they arc producing. These small get-togethers” constitute the Music Workshop. This year special effort has been made to encourage ensemble work in which faculty and students play together. A string quartet has also been organized. As the students play together in a group they learn the art of communication as well as that of expression. A great part of the music at Monticcllo is the choir. Ably directed by Mr. Williams, the choir sings at the Vesper services. Some of the many numbers which they have sung arc: Sheep May Safely Graze by Johann Sebastian Bach, and How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place by Brahms. Stephen Blnnett Williams Music B., Chicago Musical College; M.A., The State University of Iowa. Pupil of Dr. Philip Grccly Clapp, Herbert Witherspoon, Richard Hage-man, Dr. Frank H. Shaw.

The Department of Physical Education strives to help every student find joy, satisfaction, and a sense of exuberant living in the activity in which she participates. It is hoped that the student will hnd a specific activity so enjoyable that she will want to increase her range of experience in the recreational field, will take part in voluntary activities, and will continue participation in sports or rhythmic work after graduation. Modern dance, one of the new art forms, is gradually becoming an important link between art and physical education. J l idoiopll if Among liberal arts studies, philosophy, along with history, serves pre-eminently as an integrating discipline. At the junior college level the introductory study of philosophy can give the student a sense of the inter-relationships of the various fields of investigation and knowledge, and open important interpretive vistas of thought to her. The work in philosophy and ethics is designed to acquaint her with the problems which thoughtful questioning of our world and of human life has raised and continues to raise, and to help her form standards of criticism and judgment which will guide in forming her own working philosophy of life. Psychology, as it is taught at Monticello, helps one to understand oneself and other people. The students learn about people's reactions to various situations so that they can better control their own lives. The interest of the course lies in the personal and the practical side of psychology. Lyman V'. Cady, Chairman B.A., Grinned! College; B.D., Oherlin Theological Seminary; S.T.M., Th.D., Union Theological Seminary
