All Moncicdlo students study English. Every girl is given the opportunity of learning how to read with appreciation, and to express her thoughts creatively both in oral and written exposition. Juniors arc placed in an English composition course which teaches them to write correctly and expressively. Criticism of themes and discussions of essays, short stories, novels, poems, and plays, arc the techniques employed. A course in Biblical Literature is offered covering both the Old and New Testaments of the King James Version, which is treated not from a theological point of view, but rather as a cultural heritage of English speaking people. English literature, a course open to seniors only, is a study of classical literature from the eighth century to the present. One of the more advanced courses in the English Department is American literature combined with American history, known as A.C. and C. (American Culture and Civilization.)
