 Io The Class of 1959: As you come to the end of your time at Monticello, it is with mixed emotions that I express to you, members of the graduating classes of Monticello College and Monticello Preparatory School, my best wishes and congratulations. There is sorrow, for during the few short months my family and I have been at Monticello, we have come to have for you true affection and deep respect — and sorrow goes with the parting of friends. At the same time there is joy, for we know you go on to new and exciting experiences, to a larger life, and to greater service. And, finally, there is hope — our hope for each of you that you will find life’s most worthwhile rewards in the years ahead — our hope that your future will be full and fruitful and that the days of your lives will be happy ones. Among the first things 1 learned upon coming to Monticello were her seven ideals — beauty, dignity, loyalty, friendship, service, wisdom, and democracy. If Monticello has helped you to move more closely to these ideals, we have done our job well. If, because of your experiences on this campus, you are able to live more nearly by these ideals, your time here has been well spent. Your graduation ceremonies arc called Commencement exercises because they mark the beginning of a new period in your lives. May you enter these years with courage and humility. May you combine fond memories of Monticello with enthusiasm and hope for the future. May you so live as you tread the road ahead, that those with whom you come in contact will be better for your passing their way. For, if you do these things, if you truly hold to Monticcllo’s ideals, you will surely live the good life. As you leave Monticello, then, Mrs. Wimpress and I send our warmest good wishes with you. We hope you'll return often to Alma Mater. Your mark has been made upon the tablets of this institution. We hope that Monticello forever has found a place in your heart. Good luck and Godspeed. G. Duncan Wimpress President
