As we passed through this portal, we sought to follow Our Guiding Light. V-, {. a emocractf Carol Gillaspie 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. 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 1957 by vote of their classmates to represent these seven ideals of Monti-cello. n Janice Hagy 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. Nine 0C0 tj cift i oyauij Carolyn Vaught 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. E 5, nen c Donna Jones 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. Eea ult lJ Gale Eddie Within each girl is the power to recognise 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. Ton Ser vice Vlada Rousseff Each of us has a distinctive personality and unique talents. The Monticcllo 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. WiJ, om Susan Becker 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. i .� 4 v Kloven iZ of wu Cl om Beneath the shades of our library's lamps, we. the students, faculty members. and staff, sought to find the truth upon which we could direct our thoughts of life. Thirtoc n V. . ' M U. B.S.. Harvard College Ph.D.. Stanford University To The Classes of 1957: I 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, 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. I’otirli'cn Bo arc of 5, iistceS i Seated: Mrs. Buel McNeil: Mrs. Geergo Sparks Milnor: Mrs. Spencer T. Olin: Mrs. Jehn Raeburn Green.

Basic design is an elementary art course intended to provide a foundation for those who want to study art simply for enjoyment and for those who intend to continue their study in specialized schools. ( Painting Mr. Rousseff's painting course included experiments in a variety of techniques. Water color, tempera, chalk, pastels, and oils were included. Numerous creative projects were undertaken in easel, mural, and portrait painting. Subject matter was derived both from nature and abstractions with stress on organization and design. Sculpturing and Ceramics Mr. Arnold's ceramics and sculpturing course was popular with would-be professionals and hobbyists alike. Demonstrations, lectures, and slides were provided to guide the students in their work. Enameling in copper was a special project of the class which provided many Christmas gifts for family and friends. Music Mr. Kuhn and Mr. Oldham provide opportunities for Monticello students to develop appreciation for and skills in music through courses of instruction. private lessons, and membership in the choir.

I Monticello is very proud of its carefully chosen faculty, whose primary interest is the student. An advisory program enables each student to receive personal counsel on both her academic and social problems from a mem- ber of the faculty whose time is freely available to her. Through day-by-day contact with the students, an atmosphere of understanding and intimacy is established between the faculty mem? bers and the student body. VLADIMIR ROUSSEFF Chairman.

The Bookstore carries textbooks, classroom supplies, cosmetics, confections. gifts, cards, magazines, and incidental room furnishings. It also acts as agent for an Alton cleaning establishment which picks up and delivers cleaning through the Bookstore. Ar- rangements can also be made for the repair of radios, lamps and clocks. Students may open charge accounts, payable monthly, at the Bookstore.

The Echo staff has attempted to present to the student body a lasting record of Monticello 1956-57. The main purpose of this year's annual is to seek to enlighten the student's mind to all aspects of Our Guiding Light by assembling a memory book of all phases of Monticello life in words and pictures. The Times is the official student newspaper of Monticello College and Preparatory School. Every three weeks the paper reports on campus activities, social, academic and sports highlights. Under the supervision of Elmer Broz and the senior editor-in-chief. Nancy McCaig. the Times staff, with its news editors, feature editors, sports editors and Prep editors has put in many hours of time to publish a complete and accurate record of Monticello's accomplishments and activities for the year.

Social Cabinet The Social Cabinet is of vital interest to every student. Monthly dances, informal parties, campus movies, lectures. and guest artist appearances were part of the year-round campus program planned by the cabinet under the guidance of its three social chairmen: S u s a n n e Moulton. Mary Gordon. Gretchen Jehle. and the Social Director. Mrs. Duree. The horse show, the swimming pageant, and guest weekends for alumnae, dates, and high school friends presented the excuse for many a party. The Monticello bus rolled off campus on weekends for football games at Illinois or Missouri Universities, for parties and fraternity dances, for plays, and for frequent shopping excursions to Clayton or St. Louis.

The Junior Team won the first game, the second game was tied, and the third game was played to determine the winner. The Senior Team came out victoriously. About twenty Monti girls attended a hockey exhibition at Principia led by Miss Applebee. who introduced hockey in the United States in 1901. Hockey teams from the surrounding area were instructed in the correct methods of playing. Voluntary hockey brought a good percentage of those who played in class onto the field after school: Miss Celia Hutton was the hockey director. Keep your eye on that ball! Qualified swimmers are selected for membership in Marlin Club during spring and fall tryouts. The purpose of this club is to promote an interest in synchronized swimming.
