English Department One memory which all Monricello students hold in common is that of first year Knglish. Juniors are placed in an Knglish course which consists of grammar and composition. They are also acquainted with several contemporary novels, short stories, essays, plays, and poems. Kach student is given the opportunity of learning how to read with appreciation and how to express her thoughts creatively both in oral and written work. A course in Biblical literature is offered covering both the Old and New Testaments of the King James Version. This is taught not from a theological point of view, bur rather as a cultural heritage of Knglish speaking people. Knglish literature, a course open to seniors only, is a study of classical literature from the eighth century to the present. Ki-by Brazii.i.k Ci.oyd A.B.

Patton Chairman Department of Visual Arts B.S., George Peabody College for Teachers; M.A., University of Chicago The art department develops in the student an understanding and an appreciation in the visual arts and institutes a sound foundation for achievement in the fine or applied arts. The start consists of practicing artists, so that each member of the class may receive a maximum of individual instruction in her personal creative efforts. The basic course in the art department is Art History, consisting of an introduction of art in various civilizations and their contributions to contemporary forms. Students are offered courses in sculpturing, drawing, painting, basic design, interior decoration, and commercial art. We shall long remember the traveling exhibitions and displays of student work which are shown throughout the year.
