It is to your credit that you are continuing with your college work in spite of the distraction and confusion presented bv a world at war. It is assured that the knowledge you arc now taking the time to acquire will more fully qualify you to cope with the future. 2U tii icaiion of the 1945 ECHO Is made to those who served their college and their country in a world at war. TO: The Monticello alumnae and members of the faculty who have gone from this school into the service of our country. In time of war there is always the question whether young people should seek as fine an education as possible in spite of the circumstances, or whether they should right away step forward into some kind of war work. Our alumnae and ex-faculty members have shown us the expediency of the way of first obtaining an education and then applying it practically to aid in the war effort; we have only to look to their profitable results for guidance. Obviously, they were able to contribute to their country's service because they had discovered their potentialities and improved upon them while in college; thus they were of more use to their country when they felt called upon to offer their services. May we as a college and as former associates of yours express our gratitude to you who arc actively engaged in ending this war. Who in addition to your guidance in the classrooms have given each of us individually a chance to fulfill our most real desires. We believe that the best expression of our appreciation of your help lies in an acceptance of the obligations to society which a college education entails. We cheerfully acknowledge those obligations and look forward to the difficult but rewarding work ahead.

President George Irwin Rohrbough has served as Monticcllo's president since March, 1935- President Rohrhough attended West Virginia Wesleyan College. He then received his M.A. degree from Harvard University. In 1940 lie was presented with the honorary D.Pcd. degree from West Virginia Wesleyan. President Rohrhough hopes that in this complex world of today the college may maintain its character-building foundation, while at the same time it may move forward to meet the changing needs of the world. Jruiteed Reading front left to ri bt: Mrs. T. S. Chapman, Mr. Fred Kuchnc, Mrs. Spencer T. Olin, Mr. Ebcn Rodgers, Mrs. William Wood Parsons, Mr. D. Howard Doane, President George Irwin Rohr bough, Mr. Charles A. Caldwell. One of the most important groups connected with life at Monticello is the governing body, the Board of Trustees. Once every two months the trustees come to the campus to discuss the business of the college and formulate its policies; however, these active people arc not only interested in the administrative side of the college, but also in every student. They are often seen at the Chapel services, in the dining room, and other places around the campus where the girls gather. Mr. Ebcn Rodgers of Alton, president of the Alton Brick Company, is the president of the Board, while Mrs. Spencer T. Olin of Alton, the alumna member, serves as secretary of the Board. The other members arc Mr. Fred Kuchnc of Mattoon, Illinois, president of the Kuchnc Manufacturing Company, and Mrs. T. S. Chap- man of Jcrscyvillc, Illinois, wife of the late Mr. T. S. Chapman who was active on the Board for nearly forty years. Mrs. William Wood Parsons of Terre Haute, Indiana, has been tireless in her many activities as a trustee. Mrs. Parsons, who was Miss Martina Erikson before her marriage, was administrative head of the college from 1910 until 1918. The newest members of the Board arc Mr. D. Howard Doane of Saint Louis, Missouri, president of the Doane Agricultural Service, and Dean Sidney E. Sweet, also of Saint Louis, Dean of the Christ Church Cathedral. Mr. Charles A. Caldwell, member emeritus, served as president of the Board for thirtv-onc years prior to his retirement in 1943- Dr. Rohrbough is a member cx-oflicio and acts as the College representative of the Board. he =zJean$ John Ripley Young Academic Dean B.A., Marshall College; M.A., Pli.D., University of Illinois Alice May Morrill Dean of Residence, first semester Ph.B., Denison University; M.A., Northwestern University Mary Laing Swift Dean of Students Director of Preparatory Division History B.A., Vassar College; M.A., Columbia University SECRETARIAL Thelma P.

Sullivan is head, contacts prospective students through inquiries received from students, friends, and alumnae of the college. Information is also obtained from high school principals regarding girls who might be interested in the educational program provided by Monticello College. Assisting Mr. Sullivan in his department are three field counselors who interview girls interested in entering Monticello. In the Southwest, Mrs. Frederick Hoinann Mott, whose home is in Tulsa, advises and counsels with prospective students in the states of Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas. Miss Margaret Weigel represents the College in the Chicago area and also contacts girls in down-state Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan. A Monticello alumna, Miss Betty Bcckly of the class of 1943, is the representative for Iowa, Nebraska, and Colorado. In addition to his duties as Director of Admissions, Mr. Sullivan also acts as Secretary of the College, and is responsible for all public relation policies which emanate from the President’s Office.

Assisted by Miss Elinor Shields and Miss Eleanor Boerner, Mr. Baker handles all financial and business matters of the College. The Financial Office also operates the Monticello Student Bank. The bank is maintained by the College as a convenience and protection to the students, and is open daily for deposits and withdrawals. Each student has her own pass book and check book, and is expected to deposit her allowance in the bank and check out against her account as she needs spending money. Wisndbl H.

Brunjbs Mathematics B.Ed., Illinois State Normal College Dorothea P. Dunagan Secretarial Science Counsellor for Careers B.A., Simpson College; graduate work, Iowa State College Since considerable emphasis is placed on high academic achievement in liberal arts work at Monticcllo, the registrar's office occupies an important position. The registrar works with the Dean's office, keeps permanent records for all students who have attended Monticello, and sends out transcripts of grades. Reports of a student's progress arc mailed to her parents four times a year. In addition to giving letter grades, instructors comment upon the student’s ability, effort, achievement, capacity for independent critical thought, initiative, and breadth of general information. Monticello also provides a regularly organized advising service which enables each student to receive personal and individual counsel with regard to her academic and social problems. Career counselling has an important role on the Monticello campus. Mrs. Dorothea Dunagan, career counsellor, advises students concerning the fields of greatest opportunity and need open to women today. As career counsellor Mrs. Dunagan guides each student in discovering and defining her greatest vocational interest. Tests and measures of interest and aptitude arc given to each student in order that by the end of her two years' residence at Monticello she will have as clear a plan for her vocational future as it is possible to develop at her age. Every spring Monticello has a Career Day Conference at which time leaders in those fields in which student interest has been shown discuss in informal groups the possibilities of various vocations. Each student chooses the discussion group in which she is most interested. Die j£il retry Moncicelio students make the library as much a part of their life on campus as the Cabin. Although the demand for required reading is heavy, it is at lease equalled bv the demand for other types of books. Orlin C. Spicer Librarian B.A., Whitworth College; M.A., Gonzaga University; B.S., in L.S., Peabody College The Monticello College Library is situated in the octagonal building which, until two years ago, was the Reid Memorial Chapel. The Praise Angel window and the carved beams that made the chapel beautiful give dignity to the room which has been described as the quietest place on the campus.” Also included in the library equipment is a smaller periodical room across the hall from the main library. The plan of operating with a minimum of supervision from the staff members has met with success. The stacks are open so that the students may browse and enjoy the books to a maximum degree. Students arc encouraged to learn the use of the card catalog and book bibliographies. A self-charging system works effectively, allowing students to check out books with a minimum of red tape. This system helps to make the students capable of independent work in the use of the library. Although the Monticello library does not yet have a collection of books peculiar to itself, the art, English, and foreign language divisions are particularly well developed for a library of this size. It is evident, furthermore, that no section is particularly undernourished. Some 23,000 volumes, over 1000 of which arc recent acquisitions, arc housed in the library. Several outstanding standard books on costume and foreign languages have been added this year, as well as many current publications.

Maddox Library B.A., Ohio State University anauu Barbara Skybold French, German, and Spanish Ph.D., University of Wurzburg; Sraduatc study, University of lunich, the Sorbonne In the past few years there has been a considerable increase in the foreign language enrollment of our schools and colleges. The war, the radio, and improved means of transportation arc three important factors responsible for this increased interest. The plea of the late President of the United States for hemisphere solidarity, the realization that if we are to become cordial friends with our Spanish-speaking neighbors to the south and our Frcnch-English-spcaking neighbors to the north, we must know something of their language and their customs, the purely commercial value of a knowledge of Spanish at a time of great trade expansion with South America, the possibility of United States bases in South America, the attitude of our government, especially that of the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs, which advises that everyone who can should acquire a knowledge of Spanish, the suggestion of the United States Army that all army pilots be able to speak and understand Spanish -all of these factors, a direct outgrowth of the war, have had a marked influence upon the increased interest in languages. Each of the factors mentioned places a premium upon the ability to use and understand the spoken, rather than the written, word. Obviously, if one can speak a foreign language, he will find no difficulty in reading it, but one may have an excellent reading knowledge yet be unable to comprehend, and still further, be unable to express himself. It is impossible, educators have claimed, to teach students a speaking knowledge of a foreign language in three hours a week, nine months a year! Perhaps! But men have spent much of their time during the past fifty years changing the im- Paul John Cooki-: Spanish B.A., M.A., Ph.D., University of Illinois X cincjucicjes .� i Kathleen Dbxter Assistant Director of the Preparatory Division Latin B.A., Obcrlin College- possible into the commonplace, and, in the field of languages, Moncicello is trying to follow in their footsteps. Monticcllo's answer to the present problem of the impossible is the Language Lounge. These two words, taken separately, describe the dual purpose of this room. It is a place dedicated to the study of foreign languages— and the conditions of study arc completely in- Pauline Tewksbury Assistant in Residence Spanish B.A., Grinncll College; M.

Available, also, for use in the room is a recorder by means of which records may Ik- made of the students’ voices; this is a valuable aid in the detection and correction of errors in pronunication and intonation.

Maddox, Chairman Director, Tests and Measurements University of Illinois; B.S., M.A., Ph.D., Ohio State University “But I can't think of a single idea for a theme. “I'm putting as much character as I can into this dead-body role, Mrs. Wenzel. “Do you understand the difference between Pope’s and Wordsworth’s concepts of Nature? Do these remarks remind you of days in English and drama classes? Monticcllo's Department of English and Speech has a widespread influence; everyone is exposed to English, and we all are familiar with work of the drama division. In English we read, we think, we write. When we come to college, our thoughts, intentions, and wishes arc likely to be confused, without any pattern. Through reading and discussions we arc helped to reason and think clearly. Critical guidance of our writing offers the very necessary training and practice in giving order and meaning to our thoughts. The second-year course is a survey of English literature from Beowulf to the present. Among the benefits which the department hopes to give each student arc a voracious appetite for reading, a competence in recognizing good literature, and a development of personal tastes and preferences which lead to special love for authors and works that widen intellectual horizons and deepen emotional responses. An interesting joint enterprise of the departments of English and history is a course called American Culture and Civilization. This offers American students extraordinary opportunities for intimate acquaintance with their country's contributions in literature, art, music, science, politics, religion, business, and other important fields. Each year the drama division selects plays illustrative of fantasy, modern realism, and historical influence. The stu- an d +Speech Rodbrt C. Cosbey R.

In classes the motto might well be, “Learn by doing.” Radio classes, and the drama club, arc all planned on this idea, and final exams, consisting of actual demonstrations, carry it through. yjatu. ra is. ctenced Chemistry, physics, oology, botany, biology, and mathematics make up the science courses offered at Monticello. They arc planned to give the student an appreciation of the contribution of science to our modern life, a comprehension of the fundamental laws of nature, and experience in applying the scientific method of thinking to concrete situations. The students who are taking botany and oology arc shown movies and slides which illustrate what they are-studying in their classrooms and laboratory periods. At all times, experiments, such as raising plants in chemicals and water, are carried on in the laboratories. A special feature of the oology and botany laboratory is a turtle, George, who is so friendly that he is often found under foot. The students who like hiking particularly enjoy the field trips over the beautiful campus. Exploring the 350 acres of campus is a great deal of fun. The oology classes find the Godfrey pond one of the most interesting places to investigate. Lucretia Cressey, Chairman B.A., University of Illinois; M.A., Columbia University; graduate study, University of Chicago With their nets and bottles in hand, the girls plunge into the pond and come out with all types of water life. The botany class deck themselves in their jeans” and run to the nearest tree for a choice leaf. Becoming a member of one of these classes is an excellent way to sec the campus. A trip to the zoo and the orchid display arc only two of the fascinating places St. Louis offers to science students. The girls travel in the school bus and look forward to a wonderful and woi thwhile trip. If it is a little of both zoology and botany that a student wants, then the general biology course offers it. The Chemistry Department is no less interesting and enjoyable. A first year general chemistry course is offered for those students who arc beginning chemistry. This course is designed to acquaint the average student with some of the common chemical processes, as well as provide a beginning course in science for those students who intend to use science Louise Elizabeth Gulick Biology B.A., M.A., University of Illinois ru IS. cienceS Alice H.

Libnert Mathematics, Biology B.Ed., Southern Illinois State Normal University; M.S., University of Illinois; graduate study, Washington University as a basis for their vocational work. Some study of foods and drugs is made in this course. On occasion, trips arc made to near In-analytical laboratories. For the more advanced students who wish to become chemists, analytical and organic chemistry provide training for those who wish to be laboratory technicians, bacteriologists, nurses, or dietitians. A visitor coming to one of these classes would be impressed by the elaborate apparatus used. The equipment has been supplemented In-many new additions during the last year or so. Social cienccS The Social Sciences, which include history, government, economics, and sociology, have constituted an important part of the academic work of Monticello students. Although each of these courses is concerned with some form of human behavior, there is a definite difference between them. For example, sociology deals with the social life of man in its relation to natural environment, social heritage, the group, and heredity. Economics is concerned with the life of man in relation to the production and distribution of goods and services. In government the emphasis for study is placed upon American political institutions. The history classes make a survey of the European peoples, their progress and institutions. The purpose of sociology is to study human life in relation to various social processes and institutions. Emphasis Homhr F. Young, Chairman B.A., Ohio University; M.A., Harvard University; graduate-study, Washington University is placed upon community living, causes of social change, and culture as a social product. Communities and their problems, as well as social institutions and changes, arc also discussed in sociology. With material such as this, the student is provided with a basis on which to build an understanding of the current social problems. Various aspects of the wealth-getting and wealth-using activities of man arc considered in the study of economics. The student is given a survey of contemporary problems along with an outline of economic theory. As students become ready to take their places in society, it is necessary that they understand the leading forms of governmental institutions. They must also grasp the problems connected with these institutions. The course in government provides a foundation for the comprehension of United George Barr Carson B.A., College of Wooster; M.A., Ph.D., University of Chicago f r i Social! ciences Donald C. Gordon B.A., College of William and Mary; M.A., Columbia University States Government. Students learn about the relationship of government to social and economic phases of American society, and about the leading forms and functions of government in other countries. Some stress is placed upon historical development of political structures as well as on a survey of contemporary political systems. Pauline Hackbartii Acting Daw of Residence—History B.S., University of Illinois; M.S., Ohio State University; graduate study, Syracuse University and University of Chicago ' A background for general history is given in the study of Modern Europe. Emphasis is placed upon the economic, political, and social phases of European life. A study is also made of nationalism, theories of government, international struggles, and peace organizations. Students learn that mobilization of an entire population and economy for war is not the natural state of society. iccit (Education Winij red Morrison, Chairman B.S., Kansas City Teachers College Elizabeth Waters Modem Dance Studied with Hanya Holm, Ruth St. Dennis, and at Perry Mansfield Camp.

Toured with own group, season of 1940 Realizing the need of a sports program in a well-rounded education, Monticcllo offers every girl experience in team sports, individual sports, and rhythmic activities. Through such sports as basketball, hockey, tennis, swimming, badminton, archery, and riding, students at Monticcllo learn the harmony of team-work. Jane Morrison B.S., State Teachers College, Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania Mary Zarino A.A., Christian College The Department of Physical Education strives to help every student find joy, satisfaction, and a sense of exuberant living in the activity in which she participates. It is hoped that the student will hnd a specific activity so enjoyable that she will want to increase her range of experience in the recreational field, will take part in voluntary activities, and will continue participation in sports or rhythmic work after graduation. Modern dance, one of the new art forms, is gradually becoming an important link between art and physical education. J l idoiopll if Among liberal arts studies, philosophy, along with history, serves pre-eminently as an integrating discipline. At the junior college level the introductory study of philosophy can give the student a sense of the inter-relationships of the various fields of investigation and knowledge, and open important interpretive vistas of thought to her. The work in philosophy and ethics is designed to acquaint her with the problems which thoughtful questioning of our world and of human life has raised and continues to raise, and to help her form standards of criticism and judgment which will guide in forming her own working philosophy of life. Psychology, as it is taught at Monticello, helps one to understand oneself and other people. The students learn about people's reactions to various situations so that they can better control their own lives. The interest of the course lies in the personal and the practical side of psychology. Lyman V'. Cady, Chairman B.A., Grinned! College; B.D., Oherlin Theological Seminary; S.T.M., Th.D., Union Theological Seminary m UdlC An especially productive department at Monticcllo is the Music Department. This department, headed by Mr. Allan Sly, provides an outlet for the talents of the music students. It also endeavors to aid the other students of the college in acquiring an appreciation of music. The latter is accomplished by Friday night musicales given by the music faculty and some music students. Many of the Monticcllo girls and faculty have enjoyed these musical entertainments very much. Violin concerts given by Mrs. Sly, piano concerts given by Mr. Sly, Mr. Oldham, and Mr. Williams, and songs by Mrs. Bussey are part of the concerts. Allan Sly, Chairman Studied with Evlyn Howard Jones, Gustav Holst, Benjamin Dale, Arthur Hinton. Associate, University of Reading, Licentiate of Royal Academy of Music, London. Soloist with leading orchestras in England and Canada. On occasion, the music students gather in the instructors' music studios to play or sing for one another. They also offer constructive suggestions as to the technique or interpretation of the music they arc producing. These small get-togethers” constitute the Music Workshop. This year special effort has been made to encourage ensemble work in which faculty and students play together. A string quartet has also been organized. As the students play together in a group they learn the art of communication as well as that of expression. A great part of the music at Monticcllo is the choir. Ably directed by Mr. Williams, the choir sings at the Vesper services. Some of the many numbers which they have sung arc: Sheep May Safely Graze by Johann Sebastian Bach, and How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling Place by Brahms.

A large group of students attends the St. Louis concerts of such artists as Horowitz, Helen Traubcl, and Krcislcr. The tickets for these performances arc provided by the college. The function of the Music Department at Monticcllo is that of every other department— education. With this education, which is an education in one of the most refined and beautiful of the arts, goes an understanding of beauty in the things about us. 'Uidu.ad shirts Helen Frances Patton, Acting Chairman B.S., Peabody College; M.A., University of Chicago Monticello's art program is directed toward the aesthetic development of the individual through a sound program which stresses individual growth through creative activity, and the development of a personal discrimination of great art of the past and present. In addition, Monticello provides a variety of courses which give the student a sound foundation for advanced achievement in the arts. The activities of the Department of Visual Arts have been many and varied this year. Frequent exhibits from the Museum of Modern Art have included Look at Your Neighborhood, What is Modern Painting? , One Hundred Years of Portrait Painting, and also an exhibition of lithographs and prints. Several illustrated slide talks have been shown in the evenings for those interested in the subject. A trip to the St. Louis Art Museum in the spring is always planned by the department to help students evaluate art forms in their traditional and contemporary applications. This excursion has proved to be very interesting and helpful to the art students. The art courses offered to Monticello students include Basic Design, Interior Decoration, Sculpture, Commercial Art, Drawing, Weaving, Painting, and Dress Design. The Acting Chairman of the Department of Visual Arts is Miss Helen Patton, instructor in Art History. Other members include Mrs. Margaret Foster, who instructs in Commercial W.

There is . . . an opportunity for an education which, keeping in mind the larger features of work, will reconcile liberal nurture with training in social serviceableness, with ability to share efficiently and happily in occupations which are productive. And such an education will of itself tend to do away with the evils of the existing economic situation. —John Dewey Liberal education is a hard road leading to a high prize: the wise use of freedom ... It is the universally appropriate discipline for all men and women who propose to live wisely, courageously, temperately, and justly; for all, in short, who deserve freedom; and for all, therefore, who arc ready to fight for the right to use it well. —Stringfcllow Barr Anne Bennett Chicago, Illinois Baldwin House Council (2); Sponsor (2); Times Reporter (2); I.R.C.

But they expect us now—not after the war—to use the enormous power of our giving to promote liberty and justice.

Probably no nation is rich enough to pay for both war and civilization. We must make our choice; we cannot have both. —Abraham Flexner . . . No method nor discipline can supersede the necessity of being for ever on the alert. What is a course of history or philosophy, or poetry, no matter how well selected, or the best society, or the most admirable routine of life, compared with the discipline of looking always at what is to be seen? Will you be a reader, a student merely, or a seer? Read your fate, see what is before you, and walk on into futurity. —Henry David Thorcau Nancy Greer Indianapolis, Indiana Vicc-prcs. M.A.A.

American history is important, but so is the whole human story—the struggle of mankind to rise from the ape, to find some inner peace and stability, to act collectively and not only triballv . . . The study of history can and should be used to nourish our sense of the past, to illumine our understanding of the present, to fortify us as we face the future. — Max Lerner There have been periods when the country heard with dismay that the soldier was abroad. That is not the case now. Let the soldier be abroad: in the present age he can do nothing. There is another person abroad,—a less important person in the eyes of some, an insignificant person whose labours have tended to produce this state of things. The schoolmaster is abroad! And I trust more to him armed with his primer than 1 do the soldier in full military array, for upholding and extending the liberties of his country. —Lord Brougham Nancy Hulings Tulsa, Oklahoma Co-chairman War Effort Council (2); Student Council (2); Designer of Class Emblem (1); Sponsor (2); Caldwell House Council (2).

The structure of human betterment cannot l c built upon foundations of materialism or business, but upon the bedrock of individual character in free men and women. It must be builded by those who, holding to ideals of its high purpose, using the molds of justice, lay brick upon brick from the materials of scientific research, the painstaking sifting of truth from collections of facts and experience, the advancing of ideas, morals and spiritual inspirations. Any other foundations are sand; any other mold is distorted; and any other bricks arc without straw. —Herbert Hoover . . . the awe-inspiring days in which we live have given us the best chance in generations to lift ourselves above ourselves. It may he true that only under the pressure of terrible events, or the inspiration of great emotions, can man rise above self-interest. But the terrible events are all about us, and the equivalent emotions are latent within us . . . The man who promises hardship in the service of honor is the only man who talks the language of these grim years, the only man to whom all citizens can respond with whole hearts. —Herbert Agar Patricia Morse Crosse Pointe, Michigan Sponsor (2); Haskell House Council (2).

It is the education which gives a man a clear, conscious view of his own opinions and judgments, a truth in developing them, an eloquence in expressing them, and a force in urging them. It teaches him to see things as they are, to go right to the point, to disentangle a skein of thought, to detect what is sophistical, and to discard what is irrelevant. —John Henry Newman Nora Olmsted Danville, Illinois Pres.

We believe that we have a great and priceless heritage as a nation—not only a heritage of material resources but of liberties, dreams, ideals, ways of going forward. We believe it is our business, our right and our inescapable duty to maintain and expand that heritage . . . We believe that its future shall and must be even greater than its past. And to the future—as to the past of our forebears and the present of our hard-won freedom—we pledge all we have to give. —Stephen Vincent Bence Mary Louise Robinson Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Co-Art Ed.

There must be some intellectuals who arc not willing to use the old discredited counters again and to support a peace which would leave all the old inflammable materials of armament lying about the world. There must still be opposition to any contemplated liberal world-order founded on military coalitions. The irreconcilable” need not be disloyal. He need not even be an impos-sibilist. His apathy towards war would take the form of a heightened energy and enthusiasm for the education, the art, the interpretation that make for life in the midst of the world of death. The intellectual who retains his animus against war will push out more boldly than ever to make his case solid against it. The old ideals crumble; new ideals must be forged .... —Randolph Bourne When I say that in order to have peace this world must be free, I am only reporting that a great process has started which no man—certainly not Hitler—can stop. Men and women all over the world are on the march, physically, intellectually, and spiritually. After centuries of ignorant and dull compliance, hundreds of millions of people . . . have opened the hooks. Old fears no longer frighten them . . . They arc beginning to know that men’s welfare throughout the world is interdependent They arc coming to know that many of the decisions about the future of the world lie in their hands. And they intend that these decisions shall leave the peoples of each nation free from foreign domination, free for economic, social, and spiritual growth. —Wendell Wilkie I t I Annis Smith Bennlstoun, Illinois Riding Club (2).

My friends, America has been compelled against the will of all her wisest and best to enter into a path of darkness and peril. Against their will she has been forced to turn back from the way of civilization to the way of barbarism, to renounce for the time her own ideals. With grief, with anxiety must the lover of his country regard the present aspect and the future prospect of the nation’s life. With serious purpose, with utter self-devotion he should prepare himself for the untried and difficult service to which it is plain he is to be called in the quick-coming years. —Charles Eliot Norton There is a generalization which thoughtful and observing men have made in the abstract, but which has seldom been accepted intuitively and emotionally, as a guide to public policy. This generalization is that there arc no fields of human concern, and no levels of human organization, either in the physical, the biological, or the social worlds, where men may not properly strive to master, to control, to direct, and to sublimate the untamed ways and forces of nature .... There is no traditional line at which men must stop in their efforts to bring order out of chaos; no limits need be set on our hopes for a more inclusive and masterly synthesis of natural forces. —Arthur E.

JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY In September the new Junior class became the Class of 1946. Our first year at Monticcllo was an exciting one, filled with activities we'll never forget. We helped start the 107th year of Monticcllo by going to our Sponsor Spreads, so that those among us who were new to the Monticcllo way of doing things could be told the do‘s and dont's of Monticcllo life. To our delight, most of the rules and regulations were all do's, and the dont’s were things we wouldn't want to do anyway. Elizabeth Lee Apt Barbara Louise Balz Elizabeth B.

Why was it our lot to wear caps? But as the days flew by the caps became part of us. Why not? We wore them every day.

We’ve sung them hundreds of times since that night, and we've never tired of them. President Rohrbough helped us through that first Wednesday hv having a general orientation assembly at the Benjamin Godfrey Memorial. The next day was a mad rush of registration, advisors, and appointments. We were a little confused then, we arc forced to admit, but we soon grasped the way of Monticcllo life and overcame the confusion.

On September 30, we attended our first formal dinner at Monticcllo, and after dinner we went to a concert given by the music faculty at the chapel. Following the concert we attended a reception in the library honoring the faculty members. Before we knew it, the momentous evening that we had studied for and dreaded so long had arrived. The Seniors came down the Senior Stairs dressed in black, filed into the dining room, and solemnly took their places at the reserved tables. Barbara Deacy Kansas City, Mo.

Wc shook and shivered until Mary Elizabeth Hall announced that the Seniors had just wanted to see how wc would react to the thought of having the exams that night. Our fears were allayed when she told us to relax. Our luck failed us, however, when wc heard that wc were to report to the rooms which had been assigned to us.

When these finished,spring became a jumble of activities: picnics at the cabin, with the Sponsor picnic as the main one,the Modern Dance exhibition, the Marlin Club pageant with a Pan-American theme, the horse show, and the program given by the choir. Our junior year is now filled with memories of Little Black Sambo, Arsenic and Old Lace,” Angna Enters, Erika Mann, Yclla Pessl, and a dash of tennis, baseball, and exams. We love each and every one of these memories, and we'll keep them with us always. Senior preparatory.

Student Council The hardworking Student Council intelligently and evidently regulates the activities of the student body. This governing group, which is elected by student vote, works in conjunction with the faculty and administration to the advantage of every girl. The girls elected to the council arc girls who have developed their powers of judgment, self-reliance, and initiative. Highly respected, these girls have shown qualities of leadership. Every Monday the council meets to discuss questions which occur in relation to the affairs of Monticcllo girls. The council regulates such matters as student dress at Monticcllo and Vesper attendance. It is also concerned with the privileges and responsibilities of each student and with the development of community interest and group solidarity. The year 1944-45 has brought forth a preparatory council which was created because both preparatory classes felt the need of a separate body to deal with their private problems. The membership of the Board is filled by the presidents and the chairmen of campus organizations. Besides the girls elected directly for council offices, each residence is also represented by a house chairman. Hake, Nunn, Hulings, G. Brown, Gochring, S. Brown, McCuiscion. To share its part in united efforts for victory, the Monticcllo War Effort Council, now in its fourth year, stands at the head of all activities sponsored for the war effort. This year its contributions have exceeded any previous years, and its activities have been enlarged. Starting in October, the War Chest Drive got under way with an over-subscription. During the quarantine, Monticcllo students helped out by working in the dining room as servers; they have continued this work throughout the year. In December, just preceding Christmas, there was a collection of gifts for Navy men. Bandage rolling, which started in September, continued through the year as an aid to the Red Cross in an effort to meet its quota. Monticcllo Students and faculty members contributed forty-seven pints of blood to the Red Cross Blood Bank in January. As the 6th War Loan Drive was being launched all over the country, Monticcllo exceeded its $5000 goal by $150. During the second semester “Bingo Bags for convalescing soldiers at Scott Field were the result of monthly collections. Hostessing at the Alton Servicemen's Center once a month was another popular contribution made bv students. Monticcllo girls contributed time and energy towards a Victory Garden in the Spring. War Effort Council Chairmen Jang Gogiiring Jang Ann Nunn Nancy Hulinos Caldwell and Haskell Cbainntu RI DO WAY RuSSliLL Any Caldwell or Haskell resident who breaks a house rule must appear before the House Council. In Caldwell, a council of ten girls, headed by Arline Ridgway, decides the punishment for various offenses. If new house rules need to he made, this council makes them. The approval bv the council of Caldwell's social plans resulted in the lovely Christmas party which was complete with ice cream, Christmas tree, and a visit from Santa Claus. The council also sponsored the teas which were given in the Caldwell Student Lounge during the examination period. Haskell House also has its rules to he made and its problems to be taken up. Sccric Russell and her house council govern Haskell. The council agreed upon the ideas for Haskell's social life, and many parties were held. During the quarantine, a come as you are” party was given. Also, the night before the residents left for Christmas vacation, a Christmas party was held in the Haskell Recreation Room.

The house council also sponsored the dormitory Christmas party which was held in the Smokehouse, officially the Baldwin Recreation Room. The candlelight carols, the entrance of Santa Claus, and the refreshments furnished everyone something to talk about at home during the holidays. Gilman residence and Fourth Floor Caldwell also had their house councils. Frances Means was the chairman for Fourth Floor Caldwell, and Ann Pardee was the chairman for Gilman. Adjustments were made for the violation of house rules, and order was maintained. Some of the social functions of these residences were bridge parties, a Christmas party, and birthday parties. Gilman council and Gilman residents were the first to enjoy the new Williamsburg wall paper. Fourth Floor Caldwell was living in the new modern rooms on fourth floor.

Its functions are centered around a group of students who arc selected at the end of each year to carry out their duties as Sponsors for the following year. Each Sponsor writes to three or four new students during the summer; in the fall the Sponsor helps her Sponsccs to become acquainted with Monticcllo and generally tries to make their days at Monticcllo their most cherished. Each September the Sponsors don their bright yellow Sponsor ribbons and buttons and eagerly go in search of their frequently bewildered Sponsccs. Splash parties, desserts, spreads, and numerous other diversions fill the Sponsor program at the begining of the year. However, after classes, themes, and exams have settled quietly upon Monticcllo, the Sponsor is ready to do her most important job. She gives to her Sponsccs the valuable knowledge which she has gathered by her own experiences. Sponsors Chairtnan Marik Hali.quist p: International Relations Club President Nora Olmsted One of the most popular clubs at Monticcllo is the International Relations Club, which meets on the first and third Thursdays of each month. The aim of the club is to create an interest in international affairs and to keep the student well informed on current events. To do this, the club invites speakers who discuss the social, economic, and political aspects of worldwide affairs. At the beginning of the year, the club elected a treasurer from the Junior class. A campaign for new members was sponsored in which the new girls were asked to join the club. Later in the fall a drive was held to get subsetiptions for the St. Iritis Post-Disptitcb. The Bulletin Board has been decorated throughout the year with book-covers and maps, and the news has been posted twice daily. In March, Miss Erika Mann, who told Monticcllo of her experiences as a war correspondent during the present European war, came to our campus. During the Spring parties were held at the Cabin, and in June the club donated a fund for books on current affairs to the library. Bramlett, Irwin, Olmsted, Gochring. J.

Every Monticello girl with dramatic interests hopes someday to become a “Monticello Player . In the theater, however, ambition is as necessary as talent, and hard work is more important than both. Of the many students who compete annually in the fall try-outs, only a small number arc admitted as members of the Players. A girl's general interest in the theater motivates her initial try-out, but her actual talent as an actress and her ability in directing the production ends of the theater arc the basic requirements by which her acceptance is determined. Members of this year's group were active in the production of Little Black Sambo and the faculty-student success, Arsenic and Old Lace. Every member of the organization is obliged to contribute in some way to the college dramatic productions. Every member cannot play the feminine lead, nor receive a good character part, but every member can contribute by painting scenery, designing costumes, or by writing original scripts. Mrs. Solveig Wenzel is the faculty adviser of the organization; there are about twenty-live members in the 1945 group. H. Alexander, P. Alexander, Burns, Burruss, Cox, Gavlc, Greer, Harr, J. Hunter, King, Landon, McElroy, McMullen, Metcalfe, Murrah, Osborn, Parkhursc, Randolph, Richardson, Sievers, E. Smith, Swoboda, Thomas, C.

Did you know that the substance escaping from a coke when it is opened will put out a fire? These arc only two pieces of information which the members of the Science Club have learned this semester. This club has been organized for all students who take a science course, or who arc interested in one of the numerous scientific fields. The requirement for membership is a contribution, such as a report or demonstration in the field in which a student is interested. Through her contribution she works off her associate membership at one of the bi-monthly meetings and is initiated into the club. The club's annual project is a Science Open House. Each science department presents some phase of its laboratory work at this Open House. As a special feature of the Open House, visitors arc shown scientific motion pictures. After viewing the pictures and the department displays, each guest receives tea and cakes. Wells, Harris, Morris, Olmsted, S. Brown. Robinson, Sutton, Furman, Emerson, Seiler, E. Smith. Work for the 1945 Echo got under way in October, when the first staff meetings were held. Soon after, the entire student body had their pictures taken by Carlos. The next step was the contest to find the best snapshot for the memory section. All the girls submitted their snapshots in the hope that they might win the prize. Even if everyone could not win the contest, she might still have her pictures chosen for the memory section. Between the taking of every picture and the final product came many hours of work on the part of staff members. Each person planned, arranged, and helped to complete the book. Copy writers searched their minds to turn out copy; pictures had to be cut and pasted in the dummy, and innumerable other things taken care of. This work went on throughout the year until the copy was in, all the dummy sheets completed, and the Echo was finally presented to the student body in its final form. Echo Editor Terry Emerson Hus in ess A mutter Betty Furman Board man, Chambers, Hake, Baliman, Sampler, Brooks. Times Editor Janis Baliman The voice of Monticello, namely the Times, is published biweekly, not only to present the news to the student body, but also to send a complete picture of campus life to parents, alumnae, prospective students, and other colleges. In addition to the news, features arc an important part of the Times. The Senior Parade interviews each senior, the Duchess knows all, tells all, and the new faculty members and new students arc introduced through its columns. The editorials, which always touch upon some phase of student life, arc written by staff members, while the pictures are taken by Miss Helen Patton, Acting Chairman of the Art Department. The paper always gets printed on time, in spite of the doubts of casual onlookers who each week watch reporters scamper to the tune of the all-powerful deadline. Tuesday and Wednesday night make-up sessions make no sense to the bystanders, who can not appreciate the efficiency of Janis Baliman, editor, and her staff. The staff of the Ti us, which is one of the few collegiate papers printed without advertising, is particularly proud of the Superior Rating given it last year by the Associated Collegiate Press.

Something new has been added to the Monticcllo Campus. The religious discussion group, led by Dr. Lvman Cady and held informally every Tuesday evening in the Haskell drawing room, is fast gaining popularity. The group was organized shortly after Christmas vacation by three Senior girls who felt the need of a religious organization on Monticcllo's campus. One of the first questions discussed was What docs my church mean to me? Since then such topics as What is prayer?”, What do we think about Christ?”, What it means to be a Christian on the Monticcllo campus,” and the origin of churches and the differences between numerous faiths have been discussed. The questions were suggested bv the girls participating in the discussions. Several of the meetings were led by a group of girls who presented a panel discussion of the current question. There are no requirements for taking part in the meetings. Since the first meeting the group has grown and will continue to function as long as there is an interest shown in the organization.

M.onticello Choir President Prue Tinsley Consisting of sixty voices under the direction of Mr. Stephen Williams, the Monticcllo choir is one of the outstanding musical attractions at Monticcllo. The choir, wearing maroon robes with white stoics, furnishes the music for Monticcllo's vespers every Sunday. The annual candlelight Christmas program, at which the choir sang traditional Christmas songs of various countries, was particularly beautiful. The choir also took part in the presentation of the Alton Messiah, and in late May gave their annual Spring Concert. Though it has its work, the choir also has its play. The Christmas party at Haskell, after an evening of caroling, will always be remembered by the choir members. A dignified and very impressive service, at which the new members were initiated, was one of the highlights of the choir year for all the old and new members. Although the Vespers Committee is not new on Monticello’s campus, this is the first year the organization has been represented in the student council. Jean Board man, chairman of the committee, is the representative and also is in charge of the seating arrangement for the chapel and vesper services. Members of the committee act as hostesses at Sunday vespers. It is their duty to distribute programs and hymnals and take up the collection, which is turned over to the Welfare Committee, headed by Miss Barbara Scybold. The money is used for charitable purposes in Alton and the vicinity. Students arc required to attend chapel on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday mornings. Many participate in the voluntary chapel services held on Monday mornings. Sunday vespers, which are attended by the entire student body, arc conducted by different speakers from St. Louis and other surrounding cities.

Each and every Monti girl is a member of the Monticcllo Athletic Association, which sponsors all sports activities on the campus. The only membership requirement is an active interest in sports, cither as a participant or as a spectator. The actual direction of the sports program is done by the athletic hoard, which is made up of officers who were elected by the whole school at the end of last year. The managers of the various sports, also chosen at the same time, are additional members of the board. The board sent a team to Lindenwood during the hockey season and arranged basketball games with Principia. It also maintained a swimming team and sponsored intramural competition. The voluntary sports program was maintained by the Association. During these voluntary periods the emphasis rested on the enjoyment of the sport. The sports offered under the program are riding, modern dance, swimming, hockey, basketball, tennis, golf, badminton, archery, bicycling, and softball. A sports banquet was held at the end of each sports season. The members of the teams and the regular participants in the voluntary sports program were then honored. M.A.A. Board President Joyce Gayi-e Bromwich, Gillingham, “Yankee,” Board man, McCuistion, Taylor. An important part of the riding department at Monticcllo is the riding team. Last Fall Miss Mary Zaring selected six girls for the team. The team then traveled to Lindenwood for a trial meet. A second trip was planned, but because of weather conditions it had to be cancelled. The snow halted all other meets; consequently the Fall riding season was a short one. When Spring came these six girls began their training again. One could see them ambitiously working in the riding ring almost any afternoon in the week. There were several competitive shows at both Monticcllo and at other colleges. The Monticcllo Spring Horse Show was one of the most important Spring riding events. Everyone enjoyed the exhibitions of the riding team. Each member of the riding team deserves a blue ribbon for her conscientious practice which has helped to produce Monticello's riding team. R idling Team Captain Barbara Burruss Wells, Cullingham, McCuistion, Hake, Taylor, Crocker. Yoars, Burruss, Baschcn, S. Russell, Board man. Although a small organization, the Hobby Horse holds a very prominent position among Monticcllo’s clubs. It consists of only twelve members, and yet it is well known to the entire student body. Each year, in the spring, the Hobby Horse sponsors a Horse Show. Here the officers for the coming year arc announced. At last year's show the officers who would preside over Hobby Horse during the coining year were announced. This year, as usual, membership into the club was by invitation and then by tryouts. The invitations were sent to nine girls on the first of November. On a rainy day three weeks later, those same nine girls might have been seen trotting around the ring before the watchful eyes of the Hobby Horse members. Five of these girls were accepted. They were Alice Cullingham, Elizabeth Hake, Lenore Taylor, Priscilla Wells, and Eve Yoars. Those girls who were not so fortunate were given another chance in the Spring. The Hobby Horse has always been, and will continue to be, the ultimate achievement in the riding world at Monticello. It is the goal of every ambitious rider. Hobby Horse President Martha Ann Basciikn Riding Club President Junk Bromwich Although it was founded only this year, the Monticcllo Riding Club is already establishing itself here at Monticcllo. It developed as a result of Miss Mary Zaring's interest in having an organization for all riders. The club differs from Hobby Horse in that it is open to all students who are taking riding. The first meeting was held in the middle of November, with a large number of enthusiastic riders present. At that meeting the officers were nominated and elected by secret ballot, and plans were presented for the coming year. At the Sports Banquet the officers of the new club were announced. latter part of January. June Bromwich told the club of her plans for dues and membership fees were discussed, and the general foundation for the club was laid. Although the Riding Club is a new organization, it shows signs of taking a prominent place among the clubs of Monticcllo in future years. N. Acker, M. Allen, Beamslcy, Clark, Garst, Hall, M.

The Marlin Club is well established here at Monticello, and is the aspiration of all ambitious swimmers. This year many hopeful contestants tried out; twenty-two new members were accepted. The first tryouts, which were held in November, involved the following requirements: eight lengths of the crawl, back-crawl or breast-stroke, two lengths of crawl, back-crawl or breast-stroke for form and one length for speed, float for one minute, and back and front surface dives. The second try-outs were held in January, at which time four more members were taken in. The annual Spring Pageant, highlight of the swimming season, was presented in May. The Marlin Club members worked hard and put in many practice hours each week. The result of this work was one of the loveliest and most colorful pageants presented at Monticello. The theme of the pageant was Pan-American; throughout the eleven acts ran a fiesta theme. Waltzing, floating designs, and diving gave beauty to the pageant; a clever skit about Ferdinand added a touch of comedy. The grand finale was a water march done in red, white, and blue, and ending in a lovely design of the American flag.

Tennis has proved a very popular sport this year. The Tennis Club tryouts were held in the fall. The members were judged on their form in serving and on their playing of a skillful game. Tryouts were again held in the spring as soon as the weather permitted. The club meets once a week, at which time the girls plav among themselves and plan coming events with nearby schools. Lindemvood, MaeMurray and Principia were the chief competitors this year. These matches with the other schools have been a huge success when the weather has been good. There have been very popular voluntary tennis periods all year, whenever classes are not in session. On Thanksgiving morning there were matches between the students and the faculty; these were particularly enjoyable to the student onlookers and their guests. Most afternoons in the Spring the tennis courts have been filled with players. Monticello's new hard-surfaced courts make an excellent place to become proficient or to keep one’s proficiency in tennis. Tennis Club President Jean Sutton Bicycle Club Manager Iane Ann Nunn Repairman Libby Hake Bicycling on front campus in the spring. One hundred and fifty Monticcllo girls who were members of the Bicycle Club this year agree that the weather man blessed them with an unusual number of days which seemed especially suited for bicycling. On any of these beautiful warm days members would be found exploring the numerous paths and sidcroads of the countryside. Godfrey, the Godfrey Mansion, the Pond, and the Monticcllo Club will be remembered as favorite stopping-off places, while a few courageous souls will never forget the hills between Monticcllo and Alton. The sole purpose of the club is to provide healthy recreation for its members by having bikes at their disposal at all times. To insure the latter, Libby Hake was appointed chief repair man and spent most of her spare time struggling with worn out parts and fragile tires. The fleet of bikes made it possible for the club to have the largest membership in its history. Patterson, Burns, Moore, Shaffer. Archery Manager Marc, a rut Cox- Archery, too, has its place among the many sports on the campus at Monticello. On every sunny day during the fall and spring, girls may be seen shooting on the large range near front campus. During the regular class hours individual instruction is given by members of the Physical Education Department, while in the voluntary periods in the afternoon, tournaments arc held under the direction of the manager, Margaret Cox. The tournament, which was one of the most popular in the fall season, was the novelty shoot held on Thanksgiving. The targets depicted some of the characters from the familiar nursery rhymes, such as Old Mother Hubbard and Marv, Mary, Quite Contrary. In the spring a clout tournament was shot. This unusual type of tournament proved to be very popular among the archers who came out to shoot for the voluntary periods. During the class hours Columbia Rounds were shot as interclass projects; these meets helped to promote enthusiasm for archery. | , . r „ . nn � hc diamond for fun and relaxation Faculty and students frequently meet on tnc Hit it! Strike three! You're out! Throughout the spring and fall baseball season, these were among the cries that rang across the campus. They were the cries of Monticello girls playing America's favorite game. Early in the fall the entire school turned out to witness the tournament between the dormitories. All the Caldwell girls supported their team by cheering it onward as it trampled down Haskell House in the final play-ofls. Because of this victory, the beautiful trophy has spent the winter in the Caldwell lounge. In the faculty-student game the faculty put up such a good light that they won. The faculty thought that this game showed the students how softball should be played. During the spring season there were more games between the faculty and students. Keen competition was shown by each class during the spring class tournaments. Voluntary softball after school also became very popular as the weather grew warmer. Manager Eleanor Felt.man Baschcn, Nunn, Hake, Anderson, Gayle, Osborn, McElrov. E. Carp, Stormfeltz, King, Greer, Sievers, Burruss, Bromage. Hockey Manager Nancy Grci-r During the fall season, hockey was very popular in class and in voluntary hours. The college varsity traveled to Lindenvvood and defeated their team by one point. In the fall many contests were played between the juniors and the seniors. Martha Baschcn and Sarama Brown were co-captains of the Senior team which defeated captain Elaine Carp's Junior team. The annual Thanksgiving game resulted in a tie. Highlighting the Fall Sports Banquet was the announcement of Joan Anderson as the new hockey manager. Hockey enthusiasts get in some afternoon practice. Anderson, Gayle, Hake, Klein, MacGonagle, Ridgway. Oh! She missed the basket! Play it! play it! During the popular season of basketball, these arc the cries that arc heard at Monticcllo. The basketball team, like all teams, is chosen according to proficiency, attendance, and spirit. Voluntary basketball was offered to college and preparatory students twice a week. The college varsity team, of which Libby Hake was captain, was selected from those participating in the voluntary games. Members of the team included: Joan Anderson, Alice Hochuli, Camilla Klein, Sally Kurz, Jane Ann Nunn, Pat Shaffer, Betty Stormfeltz, Jean Landon, Merle Vogelsang, Arlinc Ridgway, and Nancy MacGonagle. This hard fighting team was responsible for those thrilling games with Principia. The competition between junior and senior teams was very keen. By winning two out of three games, the juniors, who had Sally Kurz as their captain, were victors over the senior team, led bv Arlinc Ridgway. Monticcllo faculty members abandoned their professorial robes to play the seniors, while members of the junior team acted as referees. The junior and senior preps played five games. Captain for the juniors was Mary Dobson and for the seniors was Gloria Queen. The preparatory team also played the college teams.

Badminton Manager Pat Shaffer Any Monday afternoon from four until five the birds might have been seen flying thick and fast in the Entertainment Hall, for that was the time for voluntary badminton in the Monticello voluntary sport’s program. Girls who chose badminton for their winter sport began doubles and singles tournaments within their classes. Following these contests the winners played the champions of other classes. Doubles and singles tournaments were also played in an allschool tournament which was set up for those who took badminton and for anyone else who was interested. Monticello participated in badminton with Lindenwood, Prin-cipia, and MaeMurray. The Monticello Athletic Association appointed Pat Shaffer as chairman of badminton. Despite the wartime shortages, badminton enthusiasts are kept well supplied with good rackets and shuttlecocks. Badminton is easy to learn and can be a very active indoor sport. Anyone who has not played it is missing good exercise and fun. It also serves as a good means for keeping tennis players in condition during the winter months. M. Allen, McElroy, Green. An organization not limited to those of special talent is Monti-ccllo's Dance Group. Anyone interested and willing to work has an opportunity to join. Marjorie McElroy served as chairman for this activity. At the beginning of the second semester, thirty-five members met twice weekly under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Waters. Two major activities of the Dance Club this year were a demonstration by the club and the modern dance classes, and a dance drama entitled The River, which was presented in the spring. The demonstration gave the public a glimpse into what might be called an open workshop, illustrating the language of the dance. The River, an original creation by Miss Waters, dramatized the parallelism between a river and the stream of human life. The river as a living, moving power must be harnessed to keep it from destroying the energies of the land and the people; the overflow and backwash must be avoided to prevent destruction. Thus it is with human lives; they must be controlled to utilize their potentialities, and they must have guidance to avoid frustration and wasted activity.

It did much toward broadening the students' grasp of dance and its relationship to the other arts. Dramatics, music, physical education, and the use of color and design were correlated in the introductory courses in dance. Students this year have become interested in adding to the introductory dance classes in physical education a concentrated course in dance for advanced students; this course is aligned with some of the work of the Drama Department. In introductory classes, students become acquainted with the elements of dance composition, dance technique, percussion, and the use of thematic material. Percussion is taught from two points of view: first, to accompany movement, and second, for the value of the variety of sounds. Basically, rhythm must he understood before melody is introduced. Instruments of all kinds arc used for the purpose. Thematic material is constantly employed by the individual in order to stimulate true expression through the forms of dance technique. Jhe Ij eur 2 rumatic The Drama Department lias done much this year in furthering student interest in this field and in providing many enjoyable evenings at Monti-cello. There have been two major productions; the Experimental Workshop has also sponsored plays entirely under the supervision of the students themselves. These plays are not meant to be finished productions but arc for the purpose of giving students training in acting, directing, and producing. The first major production was “Lift' le Black Sambo,” which was the first attempt ‘t producing a childrens play. Little Black Sambo and the Tigers ' � w — It was mcc with such enthusiasm that it is hoped that each year such a play will be given. The second major play was Arsenic and Old Lace. It was a student-faculty production and gave students and faculty an opportunity to work together on a project of interest to the whole school. A tense moment in Arsenic and Old Lace” Four Workshop plays were given this year. They were Little Women, The Doctor In Spite of Himself, Everyman,” and The Cradle Song. These four productions succeeded very well in carrying out the aims of the Experimental Workshop. Completing an assignment for Mr. Arnold’s sculpture class I an cl (Lrajltd Art plays an important part at Monticello. In Wade Memorial Fine Arcs Building, the individual growth and genuine creative expression of the students is encouraged as a means for the development of personal discrimination and as a background for advanced work in professional schools. The well-rounded curriculum offers to an advanced student courses in Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Commercial Art, and Dress Design. A course in Interior Decoration makes the future homemaker aware of the possibilities of modern materials and methods of construction and of the principles of design that make a house a home. These courses are supplemented by frequent exhibitions and lectures which arc available to all the college students. Not for paper dolls! This is serious study of design and color. Some of Mrs. Foster's Commercial Art students make industrial posters A few final strokes complete another project for Mr. RoussefF's painting class After setting up the loom, each student may weave materials for her own use. The string quartet entertains friends on an informal evening. The harp is often highlighted in musical programs and receptions Along with the other fine arts, music, the universal language, has its place on Monticcllo’s campus. Not only music students, but also girls who enjoy good music, take an active part in its functions. The Music Department maintains a large record library which is open to all students. Often small groups of girls gather informally to play these classical records. A very popular student activity is the Monticello choir. Besides singing for Sunday evening vespers, this organization also presents special music throughout the year. Members of the music faculty appear frequently in concerts which are held on campus and are attended by the entire college. To help students gain a better understanding and appreciation of music, informal recitals arc held once a week. At these performances, music from different countries and different periods is emphasized. Whether it he modern or classical, a serenade or a concert, there is always music on Monticello's campus. At Monticello there arc many opportunities either to listen to classical records or perform on an instrument.
