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.
