ENGLISH The students conic in contact with a great number of poets and writers through which they receive a greater appreciation of these works, as well as inspiration for more complete study of works that can be only sampled in class. Through The Pen. a publication of the English and Speech department, students are allowed to express creatively their own ideas in the form of poetry or short stories. The English and Speech department produces annually three all college plays, and this year saw the beginning of an enterprise called the Children’s Theatre in which was presented The Sleeping Beauty . The speech department offers courses in speech and drama as well. Other courses include those in reading and interpretation of literature, discussion and public speaking. It is the aim of the English and Speech department to provide the individual with a cultural background and to aid him to discover for himself a well-rounded life.
