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.)

Physical Education Department Winiired Morrison Chairman, Depart me nr of Physical Education B.S., Kansas City Teachers College It is a recognized fact that a sound body should accompany a sound mind, and for this reason every girl at Monticello participates in the Physical Education program. The ideals of companionship, fair play, and sportsmanship are emphasized as a part of good living and good playing. The year is divided into three sport seasons. The sports offered include archery, badminton, basketball, fencing, golf, hockey, swimming, life-saving, riding, softball, tennis, and volleyball. Each girl is allowed to select her favorite although it is required that one be a team sport. A voluntary sports program is offered after school, and from the two hundred girls who participated were chosen the various teams which represented Monticello at the play days here on our own campus or at other colleges. Special events of the year were the Monticello Horse Show, the Marlin Pageant and the Sports Banquets. Maxine Miller A.B., MacMurray College; M.A., North- John H.
