Photo courtesy of Cornell University Page 6 d To Mrs. Olin, the former Ann Whitney, is on alumna of Monticello. As Chairman of the Board of Trustees, she is often seen on campus talking with students and faculty, attending a social event, or even lending her personal touch to the redecoration plans for the Alumnae Guest Rooms. This is what the casual observer sees, but Mrs. Olin has in so many quiet ways supported, promoted, and helped to fulfill the highest aims of Monticello. Mr. Olin, Director of the Olin-Matnieson Chemical Corporation, exhibits a vital interest in higher education. He is a member of the governing boards of Cornell and Washington Universities, as well as Monticello Mr. Olin has not only cared enough to tell others of Monticello and served os Choir-man of the College Development Council, but also has seen to such details as the girls not having to walk on graveled campus roads. His faith in Monticello's leadership in the education of young women has promoted much of the growth of her influence as an outstanding example of a woman's college. Individually, the Olins are successful people — each possessing the quality of unassuming selflessness. Together, their sincere interest in American higher education has meant that they are a dynamic force in the progress of Monticello College .... With deep appreciation we dedicate the pages of the 1960 ECHO to Mr. and Mrs. Spencer T. Olin — a thank you composed of many memories made possible through their gift of the personal touch. Portraits by Fobion Bochroch Poge 7 It was colorful Sea Captain Benjamin Godfrey's third fortune that established Monticello Female Seminary in 1835, os o non-sectarian, independent institution. One hundred twenty-five years ago, the idea of educating women in liberal arts was practically unheard of, but Godfrey and the school's first president, Theron Baldwin, a member of the famous “Yale Band ' firmly believed that “to educate a man is to educate an individual, but to educate a woman is to educate a family.'' This belief built Monticello's history — a history of people like the strong willed Harriet Newell Haskell; and events like the destructive fire of 1888. From this heritage comes the friendly, gracious, dignified atmosphere which always provokes the comment, That must be a Monti girl. Monticello's atmosphere has two personalities — one seen in the glistening chandelier, the candlelight glow of a Chapel service, or faces around small dining room tables; the other new and vital — that which keeps Monti progressing. Coll it the Program for Progress or Challenge with Change, it is everywhere evident .... Campus scenes hove been enhanced by new siding for picturesque Benjamin Godfrey Memorial Chapel and colonial-styled Gilman House, and fresh paint for the trim of all buildings.

Now guests ore welcomed in an elegant gold Drawing Room and visitors stay in rooms of green and white decor. Physicol improvement plans also saw the Dining Room de-muralled, repainted and draped in a more attractive color scheme. These improvements to the 260 acre campus were the proof-positive that Monticello was meeting a challenge. The result was a new spirit of pride and enthusiasm in the Student Body, the life of the college. The personalities vitalize the physical elements. They are, individually and collectively, the focal points of much of Mon-ticello's new emphasis. Federal government loans have provided $10,000 for new science equipment and audio-aural language facilities, and $2500 to help students finance their education. A new admissions policy stresses the potential ability of prospective students. The college aim is to provide opportunity for that potential to grow and develop. The individual must assume leadership responsibilities and social awareness earlier than in many four year colleges, which add to the total picture of personal self-assurance. In this atmosphere the reserved person suddenly finds others are interested in her as an individual. Cultural doors are opened and surprisingly the jazz-lover begins to enjoy a Sunday St. Louis Symphony program almost as much as a New Orleans combo. More quietly, in the Meditation Room, during the non-sectarian chapel services or while walking past the pond, each girl takes the View Introspective and gradually develops her own basis for living.

Page I 1 Providing these individuals with the products of the newest trends in education as they move( in classroom scenes is yet another challenge confronting the small private college. This challenge too, Monticello has accepted. With the Inter-Cultural Transfer program, Monticello has joined with other schools throughout the world toward greater international understanding. After her two years at Monticello a girl can now study French in the continental atmosphere of Reid Hall, Paris, liberal arts in the color of old Mexico at Mexico City College, or at the University of Hawaii in the beautiful Manoa Valley. Experimenting with a graduate-type discussion class. President Duncan Wimpress conducts a weekly seminar in his home on General Semantics. The college seniors who take the course on a strictly-for-interest basis find they may well be victims of semantic maladjustment, and remind one another daily of the evils of an allness statement. Pioneering in two-year college trends, Monticello has begun an Honors Study program comparable to those followed in many four-year colleges. Visiting lecturers, hours spent with tutors and in private study, and oral and written examinations not only prepare the student for more advanced educational experience, but present a sense of relevance and vitality to all fields of study. Guiding, directing, understanding the individual as she moves into these new opportunities is Monticello's distinguished faculty. In the spirit of the old, they accomplish the new. Their devotion to an institution they believe in echoes the steadfastness of Theron Baldwin, Philena Fobes, or Harriet Newell Haskell. The history continues as The focode of the Sponish Center at Mexico City College feotures a colorful stone mural depicting the conquest of Mexico. Pogc 13 Honors Course participants are Miss Betsy Berry, Miss Isobel Phisterer, Judy Frederick, Mr. John Mocdonald, and Koy Crowthor.

The Board of Trustees, representatives invited from over 200 educational institutions and associations, and the Monticello faculty donned full academic regalia for the first formal inaugural in the school's history. It was an event which evaluated the past, ackowledged the present, and made no little plans for the future. This is Monticello today — it was once Godfrey's Folly but characteristic stick-to-it-iveness built the women's college on a prairie frontier that today continues to progress with the times. This is the newness of Monticello's approach to the education of an Individual . . . founded upon tradition . . . fused with freshness .... today's Fulbright teacher. Foreign Service officer, or nationally recognized sculptor devote their time to educating young women. In recognition of this service, new plans have been initiated for arranging leoves for further study, increasing salaries, and increasing benefits. The culmination of these efforts is visible in the complete picture of academic leadership at Monticello — a picture now 125 years old. Commemorating this century and a quarter of leadership in education was the March 18 Inauguration of Monticello's ninth president. Dr. Gordon Duncan Wimpress, Jr. Color, pomp and circumstance, characterized the academic procession as it moved down the brick walk through Haskell Memorial From Left: Moin spcokcrs Dr. Henry Chounccy, president of the Educotionol Testing Service; Mrs. Spencer T.

Page 18 The President Knowing students' names, their home states and their special interests is just one illustration of Dr. Wimpress' sincere concern for Monticello and each of its elements. Dr. Wimpress came to Monticello in January, 1959, with a wealth of educational experience that has been a foundation for the development of Monticello's Program for Progress. Prior to assuming the presidency of Monticello College, Dr. Wimpress was Assistant to the President ot Colorado School of Mines. He has also written articles for various professional, educational, and journalistic publications. Monticello's popular president is also a successful family man. He has an attractive wife, Peggy, and two lively daughters, Wendy, age 1 l,and Vicki, age 8. Wendy and Vicki, the Wimpress Twosome, might be seen anywhere on campus — putting out the cabin fire , commenting on college life , or romping with the St. Bernard mascot, Monty. The Wimpress family dine with the students every Sunday, moking their closeness truly representative of Monticello's home-like atmosphere. Looking to a successful future. Dr. Wimpress has initiated new programs where necessary, and revised old ones to maintain and further Monticello's respected position among the notion's colleges for women. His goal is not only to educate the alumnae, the students, and the community in the actual academic and financial progress of the college, but also to take additional actions to keep abreast of new trends in the educational world. Stricter admission policy, expanded curriculum, and more modern equipment are only the beginning. Monticello is anticipating many other advances under the leadership of her youthful, forward-looking president. Mrs. Joy Delano, an olum, with Dr. Wimpress.

The Board of Trustees Functioning as the directive force of Monticello is the Board of Trustees. The primary concern of this group of nationally recognized leaders from the business, industrial, and educational fields, is that of establishing school policy. The board is under the leadership of Mrs. Spencer T. Olin, Chairman; M. Ryrie Milnor, Vice-Chairman; Karl Hoag-land. Secretary; and Robert R. Anschuetz, Assistant Secretary. The Board meets three times yearly while the Executive Committee meets with members of the administration periodically throughout the year. Dean of Students “Just a little bit of everything is Mrs. Florence Duree's job ot Monticello. As Dean v of Women, she is often colled upon to counsel students on personal problems ond she handles all decisions with o firm but friendly manner. Her office hos a steady streom of persons in ond out of it, and she manages to use her personal experiences to help the individual solve her own problem. Mrs. Duree is adviser to the Junior Class ond the Junior Committee, helping members to organize and plan for the George Washington Banquet and Ball. She also assists the Social Chairmen in planning monthly activity schedules, and serves as Student Council sponsor and organizes the sponsor-sponsee program. The generol housing program and consideration of Admissions Committee applications also keeps Mrs. Duree busy. Page 2 I Assistant to the President Dr. Gail E. Myers, Assistant to the President, was formerly Director of Publications at Colorado School of Mines. This year he fills the newly created office, assistant to the president, at Monticello. Responsible for general administrative procedure. Dr. Myers is constantly working in close cooperation with the President and other administrative officers to guide the policies of the college. He is in charge of the public relations program which includes such college publications os the viewbook and catalogue. Dr. Myers, in addition to shouldering these responsibilities, serves as acting president in the absence of Dr. Duncan Wimpress, and is the director of the development program, Monticello's Program for Progress. The special capacity Dr. Myers filled this year was that of Chairman of the Presidential Inauguration Committee. The numerous tasks which Dr. Myers hos accomplished this year have relieved the office of President of many detailed responsibilities, enabling a more efficient administrative operation. Mrs. Florence Duree, dean of students. Dr. Gail E. Myers, Assistant to the President. Academic Directors Page 22 The academic life is Monticello's chief purpose. Her goal is to educate the individual and that goal can only be achieved through the concerted effort of the academic deans. In the College and Preparatory School Dean John Schweitzer and Miss Marguerite Little fill this capacity. Presiding over the college or preparatory school judiciol council or explaining the commencement to student marshalls, Dean John D. Schweitzer's every action is directed toward achieving the well-being of each faculty member and student. In his capacity as Dean of Faculty, Dean Schweitzer is responsible for the faculty, their employment and positions, and the student's academic work. If ever one finds the upstairs hall on the way to Alden Room nearly impassable due to the crowd of preps, there is no need to be alarmed. These girls are waiting to be next in the office of Miss Marguerite Little, Director of the Preparatory School. Miss Little, in addition to directing the preparatory school, a job requiring that she present the ultimate solution tc the problems of some one hundred and fifteen students, serves as academic dean and dean of students to the girls, and serves as a member of the college judicial council. She is concerned with the curriculum development and making certain it concurs with the regulations of the Illinois Department of Public Instruction. She is also involved in the employment of professionally prepared faculty members. Planning, guiding, and selecting the academic courses of Monticello's academic life, these personalities are a vital port of the character of the institution.

Page 24 B Admissions Staff: Covers The U.S. Anyone passing the Admissions office is likely to hear a long distance call being placed to Dallos or Des Moines, conversations on Pre-Monti Weekend, or just the initial A.A.R. Supplying information and answering correspondence are everyday duties of the Admissions staff. Student applications must also undergo a preliminary processing before they are referred to the Admissions Committee. This process includes the preparation of folders containing completed reference blanks, the application page, and other necessary reports. The importance of this activity lies in Monticello's changing approach to the Admissions Counseling service. Under the direction of Quentin J. Bogart, the Admissions office seeks to bring Monticello to the attention of the many young women throughout the nation who would profit from Monticello's educational atmosphere. The three assistant directors of admissions, field counselors, accomplish this goal with the co-operation of over 100 Alumnae Admissions Representatives, as well as by personal interviews with prospective students in their areas and recommendations by alumnae. On campus, the admissions program is greatly furthered by the two Pre-Monti Weekends held during the school year, and the work of the Booster Club and Tri-Key organizations. College and preparatory juniors and seniors all take an equally active part in presenting life-at-Monticello to their weekend little sister William Ihlanfcldt.

Business Office A daily influx and exchange of bills, payrolls to be supervised and books to be balanced — this is the heart of Mon-ticello's business world. The office staff co-ordinates college services such as the post office, bank, switchboard, bookstore, cabin and student transportation. The business staff is composed of Colonel Sanford J. Goodman, Director of Operational Services, Mr. Robert Wharton, bursar, Mrs. Neil Gray, assistant bookkeeper and cashier, and Miss Rita Simpson, secretary. They are responsible for controlling not only school services and facilities but for the overall maintenance of the Monticello campus. Mrs. Neil Gray. Miss Rjto Simpson. Page 26 sr.

In addition, she gathers resource material for statistical studies on enrollment, class sizes, faculty-teaching assignment, the geographical distribution of students, and other information to facilitate both staff and students in their education. Director of Public Information A new addition to the staff this yeor is Mr. John W. Murphy. As Director of Public Information, he prepares the Alumnae Bulletin and the Dad's Club Newsletter, forwards notices of the advancements of Monticello and its students to the press media and is the adviser to the Monticello Times, campus newspaper, and the Monticello Echo. Under his direction, the public has been well-informed on current events on the campus, while the Times and Echo have be- come improved publications. John W. Murphy, Director of Public Information. Mrs. Rolph J. Schmidt, Director of Alumnae Affoirs, Director of Alumnae As director of Alumnae Affairs, Mrs. Ralph Schmidt has assumed added responsibility this year. In addition to maintaining an extensive correspondence with Monticello alumnae and planning Homecoming and Alum Weekends, she helped to introduce several new projects in the Alumnae program. Among the recent additions are the organization of alum parties throughout the nation for prospective students, and the development of area Alumnae Admissions Representatives. Miss Shirfee Hall, preparatory school social and assistant preparatory school director. The Preparatory School social director. Miss Shirlee Hall, is a familiar staff member to all preps. She and the social committee are responsible for planning many enjoyable hours of entertaining and educational activities. Highlights of the year were such events as attendance at the Kingston Trio performance in the Chase Club in St. Louis and several dramatic productions at Washington University. Formats, cabin parties, shopping trips to St. Louis, and good times at Western Military Academy have been possible because of her originality and love of fun.

Campus Services The Health Center, under the supervision of Mrs. Lenore Findley ond Mrs. Florence Pelot, is a modern unit built by gifts from parents and alumnae and includes fourteen beds, a day room, lounge, waiting room, examining room, office, residence quarters for nurses, and a kitchenette. All the rooms are fully furnished with the most up-to-date supplies and equipment. The environment and competent care rendered are conducive to recovery from any illness of students or the faculty. Open twenty-four hours a day for the benefit of all students, the library contains some 24,000 books and periodicals which ore distributed by Mrs. Vladimir Rouseff and Miss Nell Gaspard, the librarians. The library staff also makes available to students a number of best-sellers and educational books in paper-back editions.

Many business and personal calls arrive at Monticello through the main switchboard operated by Mrs. Mar- ?iaret Prewitt. The delivery of in-ormation and contact of students and staff concerning meetings and other appointments can be traced to the switchboard staff. hall. The cabin staff is typified by their friendliness toward all students. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Moody ond Mrs. Edna Richey prepare the meals at the Monticello cabin and always have a smile for each girl despite the rush in filling numerous orders. The cabin, where students may bring dates, watch television, listen to the jukebox, or dance is the campus refreshment-relaxation center where many relaxing hours are spent.

The realization backing this outburst need be not a hindrance as students are taught not only the fundamental principles involved in drawing and painting, but they gain an appreciation of and standard by which to judge a good art form. Also tempered into art courses are Jnistories of art and the biographies of renowned artists. A knowledge of the home and current fashion trends certainly adds to the liberal arts education of any young woman. This understanding can be obtained through courses in planning a wardrobe and in preparing balanced meals. The designing ond building of homes is one of the mony constructive activities of the home economics course.

The instructors not only teach the basic skills of grammar, but they also provide a comprehensive survey of literature for the student who desires a broad cultural foundation. In the English classes the students learn the fundamentals of good literary composition, and apply them as they express themselves through creative writing. The appreciation resulting from this course of study will mean a richer life for young women in a world greatly dependent upon the written word.

Foreign Languages The world has grown smaller with the methods of inter-language communication it lacked twenty years ago. This brings neighbors of different lands and languages closer together. With the addition of the most modern facilities available this year, foreign language students can help to build a more firm understanding between nations. The audio-aural technique enables the students, by using any of ten listening-speaking booths, to record their voices on tape, to play back their recording and to single out defects in accent and pronunciation. French, Spanish, and Latin are taught in the language department. Lectures provide historical and cultural background while classroom discussions center on appreciation and interpretation of selected reading. To supplement class work, the student may listen to foreign longuage records or read current French and Spanish magazines. With all these aids the mispronunciation Bones Deas may never again echo down the halls! Pictured from left to right ore: Dr. Paul J.

Shew-mon, instructor of Sponish; ond Mrs. Uruto Pointer, instructor of Lotin. Music and Speech Through a love and understanding of music we become better adjusted individuals both mentally and physically. The music department, realizing this, offers opportunities to students in several areas of music. Instrumental lessons are available to those interested in a career or in learning to play an instrument for their own enjoyment. Those interested in the vocal side of music have the opportunity to take voice instruction. Both instrumental and vocal music groups participate in school choral groups and in civic musical activities. In addition, students may gain a wide appreciation of music through a course in music appreciation. Dr. Oldham instructing a student in the finer points of music appreciation. Whether in conversation with one person, speaking through some other medium of communication, or addressing a civic organization or an academic group, speech plays a major part in our modern world. The speech department is one of major importance in that it endeavors to instill in students the proper enunciation and the correct methods for presenting ideas before a group. Instruction in these fields is gained through class speeches and play productions. These dramatic productions also serve to acquaint students with plays in our culture.

Science and Mathematics Great advancements made in the field of science within recent years require that the intelligent layman possess a basic knowledge of the methods of scientific research. New laboratory equipment purchased with the aid of a government loan, including high-powered microscopes, telescope, spectroscope, and Mr. Bones (the human skeleton) all propel the students' efforts continually forward in their quest for the unknown. Math courses in which a student's power of reasoning is challenged are also combined with the technical scientific courses. Math coursqs are designed to train minds to think logically and to ready girls for occupations ranging from those of a housewife to a businesswoman. Pictured from left ore: Mr. Louis N.

In athletics the student's goal is not to become an Olympic chompion but to develop good sportsmanship ond physical co-ordination. Students are able to select the sport in which they ore most interested.

In today's society it is necessary for a woman to have an understanding of the factors and trends in life and the principles and casual relationships involved in current affairs. The students are able to augment their knowledge of these through the courses offered in the social science department. Among these courses are American History, History of Modern Europe, American Government, Psychology, Economics, and Sociology. A Monticello student, whether she pursues a career or plans for a family, is well-versed in today's American ways.

The St. Louis Art Museum Attracts art lovers. Friday ofternoons it's a race for the bus into downtown Alton. But most of the time a Monti girl is going places and seeing things — working on campus or welcoming visitors or taking off for a long weekend. She takes advantage of the Alton - St. Louis area cultural opportunities just as much as of the shopping trips and recreational facilities. College ploys cntertoin both the student body ond small visitors to the compus. The campus itself often provides a backdrop for local talent. The year is filled with plays, student and faculty recitals, or sometimes one outside attraction draws a responsive audience to the Chapel or the Student Lounge. Page 48 And what will be remembered longest is not so much the daily events, but the people that made them mean something. It is always the individual that is important — active every day, concentrating talents and a personality to combine experiences gained from daily events and special functions into a background of memories . . . Page 49 Orientation: Welcome September brings autumn leaves, students, and truckloads of luggage to Monti-cello's campus. Another year has begun and the first days are filled with the Orientation Program activities. Returning students and seniors, after the College Senior Picnic given by President Wim-press on the Evergreens lawn, were only too ready to help orient all entering girls to life in Monticello.- The administration and Building and Grounds Crew also made many arrangements for the newcomers concerning housing facilities, a yearly budget, and campus renovations preparatory to the orientation period. Individual orientation before students ever arrived on campus was centered around letters by new students to their sponsors and to school officials. These letters asked numerous questions and focused on areas of special interest to the student. A tour of Alton and the surrounding area, the 49 Club dinner where students identify themselves by their home states and a faculty reception in the Evergreens, are all planned to acquaint new students with their surroundings. Thus, a year which saw many changes both in the students and in Monticello itself began ... Mr. Wharton ond o crew of school workmen ore pictured in o maze of students' luggage.

From the minute she arrives the guest finds herself in a whirlwind of weekend activities. On Friday she has a chance to see Monticello at work in classes. She becomes even more acquainted with present students at Twilight Dinner and meets the faculty and staff at a formal reception. At an open house in Fobes and Wade classrooms, she learns first hand of courses offered and the type of instruction at Monticello. A Cabin party concludes night-time activity. Saturday begins at a morning convocation with a talk from President Duncan Wim-press, followed by an explanation of academic terminology by Dean of Faculty, and a round of counseling sessions with the Director of Guidance and Admissions Counselors. Afternoon fun consisted of a demonstration of acquatic skills by members of Aqua Ducks and Marlin Club, and a sports ployday. Pre-Monti Banquet was followed by the Pre-Monti follies. The follies program this year was based upon Broadway's New Faces and featured original songs and dance routines, comedy acts all blended with songs from Getting To Know You, to Everything's Coming Up Roses. Saturday ends with a midnight pajama party. Here, the Pre-Monti girl gets a look at Monti's night life , and a style show gives her ideas about dress at Monti.

Ho mecoming: Varied Plans First Program Feature The First Annual Homecoming was a time for former students to return to Monticello, reminisce a bit, and receive a report on the Program for Progress and present school activities. Guest speaker for the Homecoming Luncheon, the moin event of the two-doy program, was Dr. Chester Alter, Chancellor of the University of Denver. Several alumnae from the Denver School were also present to hear Dr. Alter speak on The Role of Alumnae in Developing the College . Other events of Homecoming Weekend were the student-conducted chapel service, a faculty-alum coffee hour, and a business meeting of the National Alumnae Association. During the workshop series, which was the center of activity, Dean John D Schweitzer discussed the Inter-Culturol Transfer Program, Mr. Quentin Bogart spoke on the organization of Alumnae Admissions Representatives, and Miss Isabel Phisterer explained the Honors Course plans. Though the attendance of this event was not as high as was anticipated, the program included an active list of events which promises to be expanded in future years.

One of the most impressive social events at Monticello is the annual Doll Dinner which is sponsored by the Monticello Christian Association. The entire student body plans ond attends this affair which, begun by Miss Harriet Newell Haskell, early principal of Monticello, has a long tradition behind it doting from 1897. No longer luncheon, as it was in Miss Haskell's time, the banquet is held just prior to Christmas vacation and is followed by the Candlelighting Service in the Benjamin Godfrey Memorial Chapel. Awarding prizes for the funniest, the prettiest, or the best of another category of dolls, introducing new Monticello Christian Association board members, seeing the dolls on display in the library — this is all part of the Doll Dinner tradition. Its purpose is fulfilled when the dolls which have been donated by the students ond faculty are packed and sent to area welfare organizations for Christmas gifts to underprivileged children. Aquo Duck ond Morlin Club members proctice floating formotion for the Water Pageant. Spring Events Springtime brings to Monti's campus a host of onnuol events to be planned and carried out with that typical pep ond go. The combined effort of the Marlin ond Aqua Duck clubs produced a March spectacle of Colors at the water pageant. Everywhere the words, Remember when . . . ? meant the last weekend in March had been set aside as Alum Weekend. A fun-filled weekend with Our Best Beaus high-lighted the busy month of May. The annual Horse Show brought honor Monti's way again. It was a whirlwind of season's activities which culminated in the events of June Class Day and Graduation. Riders prepare on equestrian display for the annual Horse Show. Dads and daughters dine in Fountain Court during Dad's Weekend. Residence Residence Each lives in the dormitory or house over which she has charge, and eoch is well known by oil the students who live there. These ladies have made a career of managing the dormitories well, and they are, without question, familiar with everything from the illegal use of a hotplate to being sure that students don't skip Chapel to watch Maverick ' They serve as hostesses in the information office receiving gifts, flowers, packages, | An admirer of originality and individuality in people and in occupations, Mrs. Effie Ed-sall is definitely an attribute to Monticello. Warm and understanding, she has made many friends in both the preparatory school and college. Her diversified duties on campus have included everything from hostessing at the Information Office, to checking on out of order woshing machines. As head of residence, Mrs. Vivian Harkins, pictured above left, is busy both day and night with the girls under her supervision. She performs the innumerable tasks from taking care of social permissions and invitations for over-nights and long weekends to assuming additional responsibility when the Dean of Students is absent. Mom Breeze is a delight to all who know her or have had her as a housemother. She has a variety of interests ranging from jigsaw puzzles to camping, conversation pieces which delight her companions. After being at Monti for nine years, she has an understanding of the girls and is always aware of a new face or of a person in need, and quickly volunteers her help. Though it is only her first year at Monticello, Mrs. Moy has goined a respected place on the campus. An easy person to talk with and to confide in, she helped many o student. She is a woman who thoroughly enjoys both her work and her hobbies. Mrs. May is characterized by her quick humorous remarks and ability to help people always be at ease. Counselors cakes, and special delivery letters for students, offer a pleasant conversation as they proctor at night, a smile in the halls as they pass, and a friendly talk about a student's personal problems. They make it their business to be well informed on every phase of dormitory life and to offer the greatest help possible to their residents. Housemother t o Haskell House, Fern Hudson is a warm and friendly person. She takes a genuine interest in all her girls' problems and is always willing to help each and every one. Her sweet and understanding personality has made her one of the best loved persons on campus. This is your home away from home; let's treat it as such, and build a happy family. This is the philosophy of Mrs. Cornelia DuHadway, housemother to the preparatory students on third Baldwin. Whether she's staying up to wait for late-comers correcting disciplinary problems, taking time to hear vacation plans, or all about THAT new boy friend, it is always done with the happy home in mind. Often found in the smoker with the students or in her food-filled office, Mrs. Alice Powell may be identified by her love of bridge games with the girls, her passion for watching the Jack Parr Show and her striking sense of humor. The Hoskell House counselor is a rare person blending charm and humor with executive capacity. Page 61 Home wos never like this. Preparatory Dormitories Some fifty preparatory students are housed on third floor Baldwin. This is the only area in this dormitory which houses preparatory students, as the other floors are inhabited by college students. Baldwin students have found their housing accomodations to be very handy due to the easy access of classrooms and the dining room three floors below. Outstanding in this area is the Baldwin smoker, a Grand Central for all preps. Here one may find everything-a dance, a discussion, a bridge game in progress, or a student cramming for that big • test. PLEASE turn down your record player! The most modern of all dormitories, Haskell, is situated some fifty yards from the main buildings. The most attractive room in this sandstone brick dormitory is the drawing room which is decorated with floral print covered furniture, backed by knotty pine wall paneling. Students may well be proud of this room and of the modern housing facilities provided. An advantage of these facilities is the arrangement of students living in suites. Yes, Miss Little, of course we'll close our smoker every night at eleven! ? ? When is he coming? Page 62 But, Pomper, you HAVE to toke o shower now!

A two-year liberal arts school, Monticello has programs in art, music, and drama complementing the basic curriculum. Students may transfc to four year colleges or universities, take part in the Intercultural Transfer Program or pursue a two-year certificate program. Monticello's small classes permit informal discussion and questioning of the instructor in an intellectually stimulating atmosphere. The student is made to feel at ease in groups of five to 25, and can progress beyond the limitations of the textbook with personal direction from the instructor. In the woman's college the student is free of non-academic interruptions during the study week. She does not compete with men for grades or campus leadership, and the college concentrates all its resources on her eduction. Learning to live with different types of young women, sharing responsibility, and achieving social competence are important values to be gained from Monticello. The life presented on these pages is the source of this achievement — a life filled with traditional and spur-of-the-moment activities, and a variety of organizations which count on the people in them for their success. These personalities work together to reflect beauty, democracy, dignity, friendship, loyalty, service, and wisdom — the picture of a Monticello woman.

Poge 71 Impromptu dinners, usually termed Fun Nights, are some of the most surprising events the college social committee has up its sleeve. The first one, which was held in October, was really 0 shock to the incoming juniors. Everyone was allowed to wear bluejeans to dinner, and the tables were decorated with red checkered table cloths, and colorful cafe' candles. Music helped to set the stage for the atmospheric dinner. The Halloween dinner party was another fun-filled night. Students dressed in costumes, with Gail Findley and Kathy Pierce winning all awards when they dressed as Lucy and Flossie, two favorite college housemaids. One February evening. Student Council members took their turn at wait-ressing. They were dressed in garb which would break any dress regulation in the Black Book.

Its constitution, when it is approved, will set a goal for oil prospective teachers to work toward in becoming the right kind of teachers to guide the young minds of America. The Drama Club was newly organized in February of this year with the goal and ideal of promoting good drama on the Monticello stage. Amidst all the business of organizational meetings and of drawing up a constitution and bylaws, the members managed to work on the college spring play, “Letters to Lucerne ' The play, which told the story of a girls' school in Switzerland, was presented in May under the direction of the adviser and drama instructor, Roy M. Carter. Bock row, left to . right: Mar Sue Zook, corresponding secretory; Ann Cameron, vice-president; ond Cindy Scoulor.

Participants are offered competition and a chance to compare perfection of skills through inter-schcol and intramural contests. Highlights of the year for this club which is led by the Board, included a Recreation Association banquet and a presentation of awards to outstanding performers. Members of the basketball team practiced often to reach the top.

Page 88 Times From the publicotions room came the clacking of typewriters; reporters were making hurried trips to the office for last minute checks on stories; and editors were frantically trying to proof read and check long galleys. This was one of the days the TIMES went to the printers. To most students, this hurried scatter-brained activity which produced a readable newspaper, was what the TIMES meant. But, behind those outer signs of activity were many hours of hard work and planning, and a great deal of ingenuity, as the editors and staff planned an issue that would effectively cover all campus news that was news. The new bi-weekly TIMES kept Monticello students and faculty well informed. Completing this job in an eye-catching manner by frequently changing layout styles was one objective of this year's TIMES staff. Under the direction of editor-in-chief Cam Cooper and adviser, Mr. John Murphy, the staff managed to meet deadlines and see a true campus newspaper provided. 2 vl Grouped around News Editor, Peggy Anderson, ore from left: Tena Word, Club Editor; Vicki Skaggs, Advertising Monagcr; Carol Stevens, Feature Editor; ond Julie Perry, Special Feoture Writer.

Then without warning, the office erupted into a bee-hive of activity, with frantic, wild-eyed editors and staff members jamming every corner. It was March — deadline month for all copy and pictures to be in to the printers. With the co-ordinated efforts of editors Judy Frederick and Jo Bunch, and the instruction and assistance of adviser, John Murphy, the 1960 Echo staff finally finished the book and re-established tranquility.

Junior Class It's a whirl of a first year for Monticello's juniors as they rush out of Orientation plans and into the leadership responsibilities they are expected to fulfill. Organization begins with the election of a Junior Committee and its officers who find ways of devising another new approach to the traditional George Washington Banquet ond Ball. In addition, the Juniors become active members in many organisations, including Phi Theta Kappa. At the GWB Banquet, class officers are announced, and at the Recognition Service which follows the Banquet and Ball, the Junior Class is recognized as a class and for their ability to accept the responsibilities of Monticello's future Page 92 ANNA MARGARET ANDERSON Muskogee, Oklahoma CAROL ANN ANGLE Tucson, Arizona LYNN BAIRD Omaha, Nebraska ELIZABETH LEE BARWICK Wichita, Kansas WENDY MOORE BENNETT Oklahoma City, Oklahoma SUSAN E.

Monticello's Preparatory School, recognized by the North Central Association and by the Illinois Secondary Association, and designed for college background training, is a closely-knit unit of high school students from their sophomore through their senior years. In the school there is not only an emphasis on attempting to instill a zest for knowledge and a background for college training in each girl, but there is also a real concern for each individual's need to become a well-bred woman with an understanding of the people around her and a love of life. This is accomplished through student self-government, a full program of activities and organizations, individual attention to each girl, and honorary organizations for students achieving special attainments. The students work closely with the College, the faculty, and the administration in trying to achieve this goal. Many of the following pages feature these activities and organizations. They demonstrate that Monticello Preparatory students have learned that to be actively engaged in constructive activities benefits the participants in the groups by furthering their skill and knowledge in many areas, causes them to be content in their environment, and promotes general good spirit throughout the campus. Many of the photographs are of successful organized events which highlighted the year while others are of the unexpected exhilarating moments. The portrait pages, showing these students individually, are the way in which fellow students will be remembered: A book always in hand, a new hair color every other week, or at times an uncontrolled temper; These and many more are traits by which we have come to identify our fellow students and friends as individuals. Activities Sadie Hawkins: Hunkerin Hillbillies The party's over . . . Everything from a hog gore on the leg of an Arkansas hill-billy to lessons on hunker-ing were featured at the Sadie Hawkins Dance. This activity was sponsored by the senior class as a money-making project to secure funds for the senior class gift of a school inter-com system It was sucessful not only in providing part of the necessary funds but in providing unusual (to say the least) entertainment. It was based on the leap year tradition of the girls dragging a date Refreshments were provided by the food committees and by a mysterious jug of tea which the hog-calling hillbillies brought along. Pretty good stuff, don't you think? Hunkerin' out! Pogc 124 Yuletide Heightens .Campus Spirit Two weeks before last-minute shoppers even start their hurrying, Christmas plans are in full swing at Monticello, with students having celebrations before leaving campus for home. Christmas parties in the dormitories, an exchange of gifts among friends, a hurried final chapter test before vacation memory lapses, decorating trees in dormitories and in individual rooms, the Christmas ploy, the Doll Dinner, and Santo's visit are all part of the Monticello Christmas. In spite of the size eighteen pajamas given to a size ten friend, the Christmas tree ornaments broken in the smoker, or the strained expression on the face of a girl who just received a gift of which she already had two, the Christmas spirit was truly present on campus. Ellen Soper offers Mr. and Mrs. Carter some Christmos Cheer os Sue Fox looks on. Drcoming of o White Christmos'' ore Chor-lottc Fredenburg ond Dee Dee McFaddcn. Kim Spezzono, Drew Brondcl, ond Mindy Levin hope Santo will bring them whot they osked for. Page 125 ________J Regardless of the streamers which tangled and fell from nervous hands of decorators perched on the ceiling-high ladders and regardless of the tape which simply wouldn't stick to hold the twisted streamers to the floor, the winter formal was one of the most attractively decorated dances this year. The social committee, aided by other willing students, succeeded in changing the upper gym, the usual scene of body mechanics class and volleyball games, into a summer patio expressing the theme of June in January. All attending the dance were impressed with the atmospheric setting. But, Miss Hall, do we HAVE to decorate until midnight? June in January Strcomcr, please don't foil this time! Hoving trouble? Yes, it is a nice party. I . , I Highlight of the combined events of Monticello and Western Military Academy was the Military Ball in which the queen and two of her three attendants were Monticello girls. Jane Carter, a striking blonde senior, was elected queen by Western's student body and Maggie Hargreoves and Dee Lyle, also seniors, were attendants. An impressive moment was witnessed by spectators os the queens and attendants individually entered the archway of sabers, made their deep and formal bows, and proceeded toward the queen's platform. Other activities with Western have included formal and informal donees in both schools, the Monticello Carnival, and the Sunday Military reviews. Below, Dee Lyle, an attendant, emerges from the archway and proceeds toward the plot-form. I Page 127 Just crowned Jane Carter, queen, is radiantly hoppy.

Going once, going twice, gone! And Elaine Campbell was sold in the largest, but not really too large, box of all the White Elephant objects. Many happy bidders purchased (besides Elaine) such objects of worth as a one dollar bracelet for twenty dollars and a five year old box of candy. Appropriately enough, on instructor even got a new red-ink pen of a somewhat lower value than the price paid by the purchaser. Though many of the carried away bidders may never be out of debt again and though the auctioneer lost her voice, the junior class, sponsors of this event, was able to apply the funds for a successful Junior-Senior Banquet. I Page 128 This must be a good one, so we'll stort the bidding at ten dollors! Girlie Show, Fortunes, Balloons! Don't move. Barb! With a gruesome step on some unknown object in the horror house, o cup of espresso coke-coffee in the Beatnik Cafe, and an uncertain future seen by the gypsy fortune teller, any person attending the carnival found a fun-filled evening. Faculty, students, Western Military and Alton dates walked the midway provided in the upper gym listening to the hawkers and carnival barkers. A sponge throwing booth, a telegraph station, a jail, and a girlie show were a few of the other attractions. Say, Miss Clown, you've sold that balloon to me three times already. Mrs. Cook (I mean, Madame Fortuneteller), please give Mr. Morgan a bright future. Combo Jon Witte, Corol Covey, Kim Spezonno, and CaMary Berry from The Express lend a Bohemian atmosphere to the cornivol. There's that swindler! Some Nights; Popcorn in Place of Pencils Books Five no-trump, did someone soy? On severol school nights Haskell was the scene of popcorn parties and once of a surprise birthday party for Miss Marguerite Little. All preps gathered in the smoker, the student council members fixed popcorn and cokes, Frenchie brought her guitar, and an early bridge game was begun. School spirit was at a peak and a relaxing, informal time was enjoyed by all. Watch those monners! k Page 130 Needs a little more salt.

Page 131 Preparatory School closs doy, one of the highlights of the year, fcoturcs the gift of roses to the seniors. From this moment the leadership of the school is in the hands of the new seniors. Class Day and Graduation Teorful yet beaming, graduates finally reach the long-awaited day. They have culminated their years of high school filled with bi-weekly romances and bobby sox with tennis shoes. These years have meant a great deal to them — many and varied classes, being away at school for the first time, and becoming mature enough to step into the business or college world — but they are only too ready to try their new-found mental skills and maturity in a world whose doors are now opened wide to them.

Student Council In a constant effort to uphold the reputations of Monticello Preparatory School and to assist each individual who composes the school, the student council meets weekly with Miss Marquerite Little as their sponsor. They discuss problems of general concern, endeavor to promote school spirit, and review cases involving infraction of school regulations. Council members are elected by the student body to fill positions of leadership in the school. Examples of their service this year were the all-school popcorn parties, the student council backwards dinner in which the members dressed in blue jeans and bathrobes to exemplify the wrong attitude toward school regulations, and a school picnic with faculty adminstrative staff members.

Honor stood on a pedestal, Assailed by a covetous crowd; Feigning not to bow her head, Deigning not abuse to dread, Unmindful of their cries. Angry and jeering they turned awoy, And scoffed at the steps to her height — A path which seemed too long and steep — A path they deemed too hard to keep, And honor stood alone. The Ann Whitney Olin chapter of the National Honor Society which is sponsored by Miss Betty Jean Droyer is an honorary scholastic organization. Entrance into this group is based on a student's possession of an outstanding record in academics, an exemplary character, and a superior leadership ability. Announcement of students eligible for this group is made at honor roll dinners by Miss Droyer. Ellen Wott, new initiote, is congrotu-loted by Miss Betty Jeon Droyer, sponsor, os she receives her corsage. The Monticello Christian Association includes a mojority of the student body. Monticello Christian Association Members of the Monticello Christian Association have shared their religion by promoting a United Fund Drive, presenting a fashion display to the student body, sponsoring the Christmas Doll Dinner, inviting lecturers to meetings who will broaden the members own religious understanding, and participating in such charity projects as the clothing drive for the needy and the Memorial Hospital Students aid program. This group is assisted by Mrs. Lloyd Morgan, sponsor. Chorlotte Freddenburg, senior representative of the association, models for o foshion show. i Page 144 Aqua Ducks Entering the water. Dee Dee McFoddcn is preparing to do on exotic swimming number. Aqua Ducks is the aquatic club consisting of a group of students from the preparatory school. These girls are chosen by Mrs. Curtis Hunter, club sponsor, and the mere advanced club members,on the basis of their ability and willingness to perform in group productions or in single routines. During the year, Aqua Ducks joined the Amateur Athletic Union, sponsoring one meet and attending another meet in St. Louis. The spring water pageant was produced with the joint cooperation of the Marlin and Aqua Ducks Clubs. Showing floating potterns, the members of Aquo Ducks prove themselves to be excellent swimmers. The members of Aquo Ducks are, standing, left to right: Roby Akin, Judy Sincler, Ellen Watt, Ann Cloflin, Robin Eddy, Jon Neilson, Ann Logon, Julie Logon, Jonc Carter, Jo Bunch, Martha Horton.

Glee Club A harmonious blend of voices has been heard by Monticello students ot weekly chapel and vesper services, the Easter service, and at graduation. Glee Club, directed by Mrs. Prudence Bussey, is responsible for the enjoyment found in the musical rendition at these services. Two highlights of the glee club year were the annual Christmas Candlelighting Ceremony consisting of varied carols and hymns and the spring concert featuring choral selections ranging from songs of religious nature to typical ballads. Page 146 Mary Jane Rutherford, editor. . . . deadline or die . . . One of the principal goals of the Monti-cello Times this year has been to keep the students up to date on new school events and activities. Guided by editor Mary Jane Rutherford, the denizens of Cladwell 106|scurried around the campus, obeying staff orders to, get all the facts or don't come back. In on effort to present all the facts, the Times underwent an overhaul and revitalization with the patient help of Mr. John Murphy, new sponsor of the Times. A clanking typewriter, a squeaky floor, disappearing pencils, and a blending of traditional and current happenings added to the tumult and hysteria to get out o paper that would poss the guardian Mr. Murphy's eye. But the Bi-weekly Times always made it, continuing its crusades with spirited editorials combined with top news coverage. Times From left to right ore Sue Feiner, ossistant to the editor, ond Morie Hobbcggcr, news ond feature editor.

Students passing Caldwell 106, the office shared by the Echo and Times stoff, may hear boisterous laughter and other abnormalities not usually akin toMonticello's industrious yearbook staff. This fresh atmosphere, however was induced by the addition of several items, including the membership and ideas of the Associated Collegiate Press, the encouragement of having a full-time advisor to help iron out the many small difficulties encountered by students who are amateurs in the tedious production of an annual, and by the new acquisition of an office which the staff may call home. Another improvement on the staff this year has been the shared responsibility by the editors, Judy Frederick, college, and Jo Bunch, Prep School, in an effort to produce a book, not of each school, but of Monticello College and Preparatory School as a unit. Trouble with the crooked crop lines, lackadaisical layouts, and anxiety over ads have all been overcome by the feeling of the ultimate production of a book representing not only the staff's labors but also a true picture of Monticello life. Among the mottos hanging on the office walls, the staff has adopted one as a favorite. Do it tomorrow, you've made enough mistakes today. Sophomore Class Though they are small in number, the sophomore class has been important in the Preparatory School, excelling in several fields: several sophomores were noted with honor roll grades throughout the year while others took an active part in student government through student council and house council. A dance by this class, which is sponsored by Miss Nancy Hines, was a highlight for the year.

The fact that she possessed this quality endeared our algebra-chemistry instructor. Miss Lucretia Cressey, to all who knew her. Miss Cressey came to Monticello in 1924 after teaching in Illinois high schools and graduating from Columbia University Teachers College. Later she served as chairman of the department of science and mathematics. Her devotion to her teaching duties was of great importance to Monticello, but perhaps her greatest contributions were,as Wordsworth said, those little unremembered acts of kindness and love. Miss Cressey had many attributes that have become a symbol to us of all that is fine and worthwhile in life. This symbol might be said to be lodged in the watch she wore. It was given to her in recognition of her twenty-five dedicated years at Monticello. Keeping in touch with alumnae, giving her famed teas for new students, never missing a chapel service and teaching several students to cook meals over a Bunsen Burner, typified this dedication. Her spirit of love and of oneness with God and man will remain to guide us daily. Though death is sad,with Miss Cressey's passing something beautiful was instilled in the heart of every person at Monticello.

Page 207 A Note From the Editor It's all yours! Sometimes that is the hardest thing in the world to say. But now the time has come for those of us on the 1960 ECHO staff to share with you a year of Monti Memories. The fun has been ours until now—keeping secrets: the cover design, the dedication, the four-color picture, and the theme; experimenting with new ideas: reverse plates on the division pages, a joint college and preparatory school section, and the “Distinct Pleasure tribute to accomplished alumnae; bringing together under one cover an entire year's experience — and the time has come to turn the product of our efforts over to you to evaluate and enjoy. Before you do this though, may we be permitted a brief backward glance? Hoving come to the writing of this last page on a very snowy doy in March, it seems that suddenly the theme of the Individual has assumed another dimension. It is the co-operation of all these individuals that the editor has appreciated most of all for without it the book would have been impossible. Space unfortunately permits only the briefest of thank yous, but they represent much heartfelt gratitude. Thank you is not enough to say to Jo Bunch, associate editor-in-chief and chief representative of the preparatory school on the staff. What ever would 106 Caldwell have been like without those signs so appropriately placed or that sense of humor? Her trademark was I've got this problem . . . but she usuolly had the answer, too. Working together with both the college and preparatory students, functioning as the united ECHO staff was our goal and much credit to Jo — we succeeded. Jo and I join in our thanks to adviser, Mr. John W. Murphy. New this year to Monti's campus, he was confronted with the greenest of staffs to educate and guide in the creation of a yearbook. Fortunately, his enthusiasm and wealth of new ideas were there for the staff to draw on in meeting the challenge of the ECHO. Oh yes, an indirect thank you must be extended to the CJ. Needless to say, it was the effort of oil that produced the annual, but there are always a few especially conscientious souls whose eagerness to work and work hard caused the editor to sigh Bless you, after she's handed them still another task. In order that they might not remain unsung heroines we mention Betty Berwick, Sharon O'Melia, Mindy Levin, ond Genie Harris. To Natalie Carroll, Gwen Hyman, and Leslie Linderman go the honors for the college and preparatory school sections. In addition to assisting with typing, copy reading, or advertising, os did Anne Vaughn and Priscilla Kruger, many people not on the staff contributed to suggestions and hints that were of great help. For the times tardiness was overlooked, terribly poor grades were met with, I understand, and someone gave an authoritative approval, we are grateful to the faculty and administration. They co-operated fully in everything from returning proofs to posing on a ladder. And Dr. Gail Myers' timely word on the purpose of a yearbook was taken to heart for the benefit of all. Adding to the professional look of the ECHO were hand-drawn introductory and division pages, for which the staff is indebted to Miss Margy Kodros, an alumna of the Class of 1959. Perhaps the greatest thanks is to you — the Individuals in the Student Body. You presented the challenge; you are the focal point, and you did the things which made these pages come to life. So, now that we have had the fun of creating a record of memories, we have the 1960 ECHO staff say thank you for living. Bless you, Judy Frederick Editor-in-Chief Poge 208 INTER-COLLEGIATE PRESS Publishers — Monufacturers Yearbooks — Yearbook Covers Diplomos — Graduation Announcements Factory — Home Office Kansas City, Mo.
