Monticello College - Echo Yearbook (Godfrey, IL)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1956 volume:

HAYNER PUBLIC LIBRARY DISTRICT v, ALTON, ILLINOIS “The world is a looking glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it in turn will frown with you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly, kind companion.” Dedication -- Because . . .... there is deep devotion and lasting loyally in every home where love abides; .... we have gained from our homes and families a set of values which were reflected in our deeds at Monticello; .... we cannot forget that what we do reflects upon our home and family; .... much of what we arc and what we will be reflects that which our families have given us; We Dedicate . . .... to our HOMES and FAMILIES, with deep appreciation, unmatched pride, and heart-felt love, this 1956 ECHO. The voice of parents is the voice of gods, for to their children they arc heaven's lieutenants. We wish to present this book, filled with memories of the 1955-1956 school year, to you, the students, that these memories may be kept forever bright. THE STAFF Presentation ORGANIZATIONS PREPARATORY SCHOOL IDEALS With hearts aware of beauty, loyalty, and dignity, minds ever striving for wisdom and democracy, and willing hands to offer service and friendship to all, the seven girls pictured on these pages have been chosen from the class of 1956 by vote of their classmates to represent these seven ideals of Monticello. DEMOCRACY Anne Miller The truly democratic person interests herself in the activities of others. She seeks to understand and respect the ideals and beliefs of her associates while maintaining her own independence of thought and action. DIGNITY .... Martha Morrow Rice This is a quality of reserve which comes with emotional, intellectual, and social maturity. Dignity is always reflected in the recognition of the fitness of things and in the poise and self-confidence with which one places one’s self above that which might be considered unseemly. LOYALTY .... Anna Frances Wilson One of the most important of the Monticello Ideals is a loyalty to the college, one’s friends, one’s family, and one’s beliefs. This deep-seated emotion will grow through understanding, respect, and love. FRIENDSHIP .... Dodie Rhoades Many of your most cherished and lasting friendships will be made while you are at Monticello. Your college days will afford rich opportunities for making a wide circle of friends. In true friendship there is dignity, loyalty, service, democracy, beauty, and never-failing consideration. Nancy Lee Cooper Within each girl is the power to recognize and appreciate the beauty of everyday experiences. Life is filled with beauty if one is sensitive to it, and eager to find it; if one’s eyes are trained to see. one’s ears to hear, one’s heart to understand, and one’s mind to remember. i WISDOM .... Bonnie Rollins As the Monticello girl grows in academic stature, she seeks to increase her ability to apply her knowledge usefully, for wisdom is the union of knowledge and understanding. SERVICE .... Patricia Thompson Each of us has a distinctive personality and unique talents. The Monticello girl considers it not only a privilege but a responsibility to share her gifts with all, thereby helping herself and others to develop to the fullest measure. Student IIow well a Monti bracelet or pendant calls to the mind of the wearer memories of Monticello — Fountain Court, back campus, the chapel, Grand Central, class rooms. This campus life section REFLECTS the lives of the students during the past year, both in school and in extra-curricular activities. Our personalities, as we leave Monti, are a REFLECTION of some of the experiences that we have had here. t J I I Soon the new lockers were initiated. As We Arrived As we arrived at Monlicello, a host of friends were here to greet us. Surrounded by a friendly atmosphere, we were soon assured that the days before us would be full of pleasant experiences. How right we were as the following pages portray! Introductions! First we met our respective housemothers. Prom the first week at Monti, Grand Central became the center of activities. The Word Stranger Soon Disappeared J Boxes, suitcases, trunks, and stuffed animals bombarded Fountain Court. How will we ever get them home? After a few short weeks we developed a loyalty for our own dorms. Our loyalty spread to the faculty as we saw their friendliness. They even visited us in our dorms. Getting to Know Each Other Although a few of us were energetic enough to climb down to the Mississippi from La Vista, others were content to enjoy the shade. The conversation changed from, Glad to meet you, to, Anyone have a dime. r r As the Leaves Turned So Did . . . At Monticello most classes arc small and informal. Teachers are always willing to stay an extra hour to make certain that we understand the conjugation of amor or the characteristics of the Phylum Cordata. “Friday is hero at last. Look, Ma, we really studied! Dr. Chacharonis thought wc would never learn to use the microscopes! The Pages of Our Books Don't be silly. I'm not on Heavenly Eleven! No, not much they weren't. What Fun ... Junior-Senior Week ... “Button, Frosh!” Will we ever forget that cry? or the Seniors’ names? or the chain gang? or the Backwards Lunch? It was fun and part of the Monticello traditions which we all love. We had the first big variety show of the year v hen the Seniors en-tertaincd(?) at the end of the week. Were we really that loyal? Captain Godfrey lived during the week. We liked our much! teachers so Must have worked a little too hard Day By Day . . . Friendships at Monticello grew deeper as each day brought new experiences. From our classes to a quick game of bridge after lunch, we discovered many wonderful qualities in our new friends. As the days progressed, we realized that these friendships will be neither broken nor forgotten when the year is over. Whose birthday is this week? We became good friends with the faculty and administration. Chapel on Tuesday and Friday was a welcome time of quiet in a busy day. Most of all we remember the fun we had in the smoker. There we played cards, read our mail, and held gab sessions In which we almost solved the problems of the world. 4:00 P.M. and Voluntary Sports Began How many times we bi- Our fencing wasn't movie-style but we had fun. cycled to Godfrey to mail a package. The pool was a favorite spot after a few hours of studying. The beautiful water pageant was the result of many hours of work. The sports department was one of the strongest in the school this year. At 4:00 the dorms became quiet as we took advantage of a free hour to work off some energy. There was as much excitement over an intramural event as there was over a contest with nearby colleges. On your mark In a series of games, the College Varsity finally beat the Preps. Christmas Spirit and Good Will Abound . . . as Monticello “decked the halls with boughs of holly.” The entire week before vacation began was lost to Christmas activities. Somehow we just could not seem to study (try as we did!) And then the last night came and our spirits exploded! Santa appeared all over the school that night. 4 Santa was good to Monti at the All children enjoy Christmas, Monti s included. f was at the Doll Dinner that me Back to Monti Life and Those Some people couldn't seem to resist the temptation. Monti glistened in a Winter Wonderland. • • • From variety shows to banquets, our favorite numbers were selections sung by the Senior Triple Trio. Blue Books! The library became a busy place as finals drew near. Dusty would listen to any problem, be it academic or personal. Forgetting the books for a moment, we took time for a short game of bridge. The weather man surprised us with a warm day in the middle of February. Lots of Food and Fun What would we have don without the coffee machine We all felt domestic once in a while, and the kitchenette provided a perfect spot for experimenting with our cooking skills. Dates for St. Louis. For special occasions we brought out our formats. Guys Added Spice to Monti Life The Western Military Academy chose their favorite Prep, Nancy Scott, to be the Honorary Cadet of their Military Ball. With her are seen Nancy Simms and Judy Harvey. Seniors Applauded As The Juniors Presented The G.W.B.----- The floor show at the dance was entertaining and provided a nice beginning to the perfect evening. decorations was the Grand Central bulletin boards which featured a baby picture of each Senior. In a southern plantation atmosphere at the banquet the Junior class officers were announced. What excitement! After the banquet, the dance! Wasn’t it fun to meet so many of the girls’ special beaux? G. W. B. is over for another year but the memory lingers on. For the Juniors that memory is of hard work and of fun, of secrets from the Seniors, and of the close unity gained which made the Juniors a true class of Monticello. The theme of the event was “BETWEEN THE BOOKENDS.” One of the favorite The smoker was converted into a teenager's paradise — Seventeen. When our feet were too tired for another dance, we relaxed in the smoker. The speeches at the banquet covered subject matter close tc the heart of every Monti girl. I The Roaring Twenties live again. These are our teachers? Sweethearts! Some Were Dramatic But The Faculty Variety Show was received with great enthusiasm. We knew our faculty had brains but after their production we were convinced that they are the best allround teachers to be found! Actors and audience alike had a grand time and the audience voiced their desire to make it an annual event. With the plotting of the hero and the hissing of the villain we were entranced with the Prep melodrama, “Pure as the Driven Snow. We All Had Fun--- The ones with more serious acting talents turned to the dramatic productions on campus. The children's play before Christmas was the popular presentation of “Rumplestilskin.” The Preps shared their talents in a two act play, “Mrs. McThing.” Later in the year we all joined the fun of variety shows for the Alums, Dads, and Little Sisters. They are almost twenty-two? Dorm Life Was Never Boring_______ jL The antiques in the Alum Room fasci-nated us as we thought of Monti in the 90's. Did we do anything but play cards? We made ourselves beautiful for spring vacation. Class Day in June is the perfect climax to a year full of tl most memorable experience Out for some fresh air and some last minute confidences between friends soon to part. Spring Fever and Farewells Lead To ___Graduation The open book and quill symbolize knowledge. Stimulating students in their love and pursuit of knowledge has been one of the achievements of the Monticello faculty. By competent instruction, careful guidance, and close friendship, each member of the faculty helps the students to achieve their goals. Each student’s future life will REFLECT the friendships she has shared with her teachers. 4 RUSSELL T. SHARPE B. S. Harvard College Ph. D. Stanford University TO THE CLASSES OF 1956: 1 am happy to have this opportunity to extend to the graduating classes of Monticello College and Monticello Preparatory School my congratulations upon your splendid contributions to life at Monticello. You have not only grown in wisdom yourselves; but you have advanced the standards of the school, opened new vistas for the students who will follow you, and upheld the finest traditions of your predecessors. The real test of Monticello’s influence upon you must await the passing of time. If your years at Monticello have been instrumental in changing your attitudes and behavior in a socially desirable direction (and this, it seems to me, is the true function of education), the way in which you serve your family, your community, your nation and your school will, in the years ahead, be the real measure of what you have learned at Monticello. The faculty and staff are confident that you will meet this test with distinction and that your lives will bring further honors to the school which has had the privilege of helping to prepare you for your complex role in American society. We all extend to you our most affectionate and best wishes as you leave Monticello and join the long line of alumnae whose first members graduated nearly a century and a quarter ago. We know you will be worthy of your heritage. RUSSELL T. SHARPE. President Marshall Acker, Edmund Morgenstern, Ebcn Rodgers, M. Ryrie Milnor, D. Howard Doane, Chairman.
