[TYPO3] Hide one level but show pages beneath it?

[Timothy Patterson]

I am looking to hide one page of my menu tree, but yet have subpages 
rendered in a menu structure.

Tree Example:
-Departments
    -Accounting
       -Student Testimonials
       -Faculty

Is there a way for me to hide Departments from my menu structure but 
still show Accounting and the pages below it?  I've tried hide page and 
hide in menu, however both options stop the subpages from displaying.  I 
have the Accounting branch set to "root of website"

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
