With this object in mind, YJC ' s Language Departments seek to teach stu- dents the practical and aesthetic aspects of lan- guage. On Foreign Language Day, a lecture by William Turpin suggested that language study is Necessary But Not Enough. Every member of the English Department at- tended a workshop relative to the teaching of English — lecturers on Robert Frost, methods of freshman composition, and other experimental approaches.

As the art student expresses his individual talent, he also masters the fundamentals of drawing, design, and oil painting. Through music, one ' s voice, hands, and mind soar to express the vibrant notes of a composition, classical or modern. A YJC music student can de- velop his talent in two areas. If he possesses a gifted voice, he can sing in the choirs. If he Is interested in study- ing an instrument, he can take piano lessons or play in the orchestra. 27
