Dr. Sherry Bevins Darrell, who began teaching here in fall 1975, is now professor of English and director of Humanities.  She has taught a variety of literature and composition courses, including Shakespeare, Milton, Greek tragedy, freshman rhetoric, advanced composition. 

As she looks forward to retirement, with a sabbatical in Greece, Dr. Darrell wants to refresh both her ancient and modern Greek.  She likes dining out with friends, traveling (still hopes to visit Mongolia), cooking (especially Mexican, Greek, ribs, and soups), and reading (British mysteries and thrillers, fiction and history involving the ancient world or World War I.  Her Maine Coon cat, Kitto, she named for her all-time favorite classicist, H. D. F. Kitto, who wrote about Greek drama and the Greeks as if he had interviewed them all, critiqued their characters, and found them somehow charmingly bloody.
