Whether engaged in reading, writing, or reciting, a student may employ an active imagination as a valuable aid in conjuring up images and impressions. Definitely an asset to creative writing, inspiration is thus afforded an ample opportunity to develop to full capacity. Students are taught to utilize and appreciate the various channels of expression. Oral reports and discussions provide excellent opportunities for the techniques of effective speech and communication to be mastered, as well as for the gaining of poise and self- reliance. For those who desire a more intensive study of speech fundame ntals and related arts, our English curriculum offers a two-year program in this field.

In addition to the study of two years of American History, the Department offers courses in the related areas of sociology, comparative world governments, and economic geography. While each course is a distinct study in itself, it shares a common likeness with the others; and that is, its deep concern for people, places, and philosophies. Geographical, social, and cultural factors from the far corners of the earth play a vital role in aiding students to obtain realistic perspectives of the issues at hand. By examining the philosophies which have been adopted as the basis of laws, governmental statutes, and international policies, students are encouraged to cultivate open minds. Through the media of audio-visual aids, speakers, and evening seminars, the goal of a well informed student body is made possible.
