Dr. Duncan Wim-press. Dr. Wimpress came to Monticello in 1959 and since then has added greatly to the school's position among the nation's colleges for women. Monticello has improved tremendously during the year in its advanced curriculum, its stricter admission policy, and its more modern equipment. Dr. Wimpress and his family, in keeping with the home-like feeling of Monticello, can be seen hosting a student-faculty party at the Cabin or dining with the students on Sunday afternoons. His lovely wife Peggy, and two lively daughters, Wendy and Vicki, are a well-known part of the Monticello scene. Dr. WimproiS with “Monti our unofficial mascot.

Trustees and Administration In 1960-1961 the Board of Trustees was enthusiastically working on Dr. Wimpress' Program for Progress and the projected plans for adding to the educational facilities at Monticello. Under the direction of Mrs. Spencer T. Olin, chairman of the Board, the trustees meet three times yearly to study the financial and academic growth of the school. This group of nationally recognized business leaders carries the influence and prestige of Monticello throughout the country. Building Committee members are: Colonel Goodman, Director of Operational Scr-vices; Mr. Louis Heider; Mr. Spencer T. Olin, Director, Olin-Mathioson Chemical Co.; Mrs. Spencer T. Olin, Chairman of the Board; R. M. Milnor; B. E. Bassett, Gen. Mgr., U. S. Defense Corp.; Dr. Wimpress; Mrs. Dorothy Harris; Dr. Anschu-elz; and Dr. Myers. DR. GAIL E. MYERS, Vice-President Working for Monti’s progress An extremely versatile person. Dr. Gail E. Myers may be found discussing the quality or size of print used in a Monticello periodical, speaking to the Board of Trustees, or in conference with Dr. Wimpress. His positions as VICE-PRESIDENT of the college, head of the public relations program, and director of our Program for Progress, call for a great deal of time and knowledge. Even though he is an extremely busy person. Dr. Myers is always ready to help the individual student on a school or personal problem. 23 John D. Schweitzer serves as the DEAN OF THE FACULTY at Monticello. Through his efforts, a serious academic life is encouraged. It is his responsibility to aid in the planning and selection of academic courses offered in the college. During a typically busy day he may be found at work in his office, presiding at the college or preparatory school judicial council, or discussing commencement exercises with a group of students. In accordance to his position. Dean Schweitzer is responsible for the employment of the faculty, academic work of the students, and the well-being of faculty and students alike. JOHN D. SCHWEITZER, Academic Dean The Spirit of dedication MRS. FLORENCE DUREE, Dean of Students Perhaps the most difficult phase of college life is in meeting the challenges of the first two years. Mrs. Florence Duree, DEAN OF STUDENTS is the congenial yet firm guide so often relied upon by Monticello women. She seems to represent a pillar of strength and is always on call, available for consultation or a friendly chat. As the adviser to the Junior Class and Junior Committee, Mrs. Duree assists in the preparation and presentation of the G.W.B., and also sponsors the Student Council. In addition, she plans periodical activity schedules with the Social Chairmen and organizes the Sponsor-sponsee program. 24 Mrs. Robert Shewman may be found helping students in personal problems, advising the Student Council and the Preparatory School junior class, or joining students in the fun of giving a dance, painting the smoker, or having a barbecue supper. In her official capacity as Director of the Preparatory School, Mrs. Shewman is academic dean, dean of students, and a member of the College Judicial Council. She is involved in setting up the academic curriculum and in the employment of professionally competent faculty members. However, she is never too busy to maintain individual contact with each of the nearly one hundred prep students. MRS. ROBERT SHEWMAN Director of the Preparatory School at Monticello J 25 Promote interest in Monti MR. KENNETH BULLMER, keeping in touch with field operations, represents: Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Ohio, North and South Dakota, and Wyoming. Admissions Office A new decor, a new staff, and a fifty-percent increase in the enrollment, are just a few of the changes made this year, under the supervision of Mr. Kenneth Bullmer, Director of Admissions. The admissions office is kept perpetually busy, maintaining an active correspondence, with those interested in Monticello. Only a portion of the work is completed on the campus. An equally important half is accomplished on the road by the field counselors. They visit as many as twenty-four schools a week, talking to prospective students and answering their questions. It is this continuous program that enables Mon-ticello to progress. 26 MR. GARY VAN AUSDALL, ever personable, represents: Colorado, Florida, Illinois, In- diana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and Wisconsin. MR. LOUIS HAIL, tho Southern Gentleman, repre-sents: Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, and Texas. MR.

HARRIET COOK Registrar and Director of Guidance As DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC INFORMATION Mr. Murphy's duties include notifying press media across the country of Monticello's advancements, student activities, and preparing the Alumnae Bulletin and the Dad's Club Newsletter. He also serves as the faculty adviser to the Times, the campus newspaper, and the Echo, the campus yearbook. — 28 Guidance and As REGISTRAR AND DIRECTOR OF GUIDANCE Mrs. Cook prepares the transcript records and recommendations for transfer students and planning the testings, adviser-advisee, and master schedules. She also maintains a follow-up study on alumnae who transfer to four year colleges and universities, and gathers research material for statistical studies and other information which benefits both the administrative staff and students. information As DIRECTOR OF ALUMNAE AFFAIRS, Mrs. Ralph Schmidt maintains a constant correspondence with all Monti alumnae. She is responsible for planning alumnae parties across the United States and for supervising Homecoming and Alum Weekends. This year the alumnae worked with Mrs. Schmidt in a successful drive to receive alum financial support for Monticello from a vast majority of the alumnae group. Mrs. Schmidt is often busy on the campus after hours in such activities as alumnae bake sales or in such non-re-lated job areas as chaperoning a college dance. MISS SHIRLEE HALL, Preparatory School Social Director MRS. RALPH SCHMIDT, Director of Alumnae Affairs Miss Shirlee Hall is indeed a busy person as she competently fills her position on campus as PREPARATORY SCHOOL SOCIAL DIRECTOR. In this capacity she may be found at a Western Military School and Prep School combined dance, in an informal group in the smoker, or in a staff meeting. Miss Hall is known and respected by all. rpppraFremnr- li naniai VM-.HrHlwlhtb COL. SANFORD J. GOODMAN, Treasurer and Director of Operational Services Campus services Buried in a mass of circulars, newsletters, and bills we find the Business Office, headed by Col. Sanford Goodman. Most students at Monticello use the banking facilities provided by the Business Office to help the girls keep track of that all-important money from home. Other college services such as the post office, switchboard, bookstore, cabin, and transportation are handled by this jack-of-all-trades department at Monticello. Mr. Robert Wharton, the Bursar, is usually found around the adding machine, keeping track of the income and outgo. At Monti, the Business Office is one of the most valuable organizations on the campus. MR. ROBERT E. WHARTON, Bursar —— � 30 are varied SB m Among the many services which keep Monti on the ball are those offered by the library, the infirmary, and the housekeeping department. Mrs. John Schweitzer, Monticello's capable librarian, is always ready to help students in their selection of books and reference material. Any student who has ever needed help during an illness will always be grateful for the modern facilities of the infirmary and the loving personal care given by Mrs. David Findley and her assistant, Mrs. Florence Pelot. The housekeeping department, headed by Miss Alvena Closson, is a vital part of Monticello's clean and impressive appearance. Thanks to Miss Closson and her staff the school is always kept neat and orderly. MISS ALVENA CLOSSON MRS. JOHN SCHWEITZER, Librarian 31 Efficiency in communication r MRS. BARBARA WITT, Business Office MRS. NADINE COIMAN, Secretary to the Registrar MRS. ROBERT McCOY, Admissions Office 32 I ! Monticello could never get along without the efficiency and smooth-working cooperation of the various secretaries and the switchboard operator. It is their able assistance to the administrative staff that enables the school to function properly from day to day. The secretaries and the switchboard operator are in a great measure responsible for Monti's friendly appearance before the public. They are our voice and face with a smile—answering calls, coordinating mail, and receiving visitors. MRS. MARGARET CICHLAR. Secretary to the Vice-President Campus activities MRS. MOODY, MRS. KINKAID One spot frequented by all Monti girls is the school bookstore managed by Miss Marjorie Diet-iker and Mrs. Elizabeth Habekost. It is a convenient place for students to buy supplies, reading material, and gifts. Another locale with which all students rapidly become acquainted is the Cabin, run by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Moody. The girls are always greeted by a warm and friendly atmosphere and Mrs. Moody's delicious home-cooked food. The dieticians who supervise the dining room and waitresses are Mrs. Clarence Montroy and Mrs. Irene Propst. They are responsible for our fine menus and the neat appearance of the dining room. MISS DIETIKER, Manager of the Bookstore and MRS. HABEKOST, Assistant Faculty 35 ART! The freedom of expression Included in the curriculum of the art department are not only the fundamental principles of art for the beginner, but also advanced techniques for more skilled students. Appreciation of art as well as biographies of famed artists are also discussed. The department is fortunate in having as its instructors accomplished artists in their own rights. Several of the faculty's works have appeared in art exhibitions throughout the Middle West. MRS. BRENDA CARTER, B.F.A., M.F.A. Instructor in Art 36 MISS NANCY J. HINES. B.A., M.A. Instructor in Speech words and music MR. ROY M. CARTER. B.F.A., M.F.A. Chairmen of the Drama Department The speech department is of considerable importance at Monticello. Its aims are to instill in students the proper enunciation and correct methods of presenting ideas before an audience. Class speeches are one of the main sources of instruction. Play production is helpful for the students as well as enjoyable to those who come to watch. Monticello's music department offers to its students opportunities in several areas of music. To those interested, both instrumental and vocal lessons are available. Girls are also invited to participate in school choral groups and in civic musical activities. A course in music appreciation is offered so that students may gain a wider appreciation of music. MRS. PRUDENCE F. BUSSEY, Mus.B. Instructor in Music DR. ROBERT OLDHAM. Mus. B., Mus.M.. M.A., Ed.D. Chairman of the Music Department Small classes give best MRS. ROBERT SHEWMAN, B.A., M.A. Instructor in English Not Pictured: MRS. MARJORIE DINTELMANN, B.A. Instructor in English MISS ISABEL D. PHISTERER, A.B., M.A. Chairman of the English Department MR. ROBERT BRUKER, M.Ed. Instructor in English 38 opportunities for learning English—the dress of thought—is essential for communication of ideas. Thus it is vitally important that students learn the fundamentals of grammar composition, writing, and vocabulary. These are the goals which Monticello's English department strives to accomplish. Through these studies the students learn to develop their skills aptly in the written and spoken language and to appreciate their heritage of literature. The small classes at Monticello give the students ample opportunity to express themselves in written and spoken forms. There are no shrinking violets at this school. JOHN D. SCHWEITZER, A.B., M.A. Instructor in English 39 Pathway to communication MRS. GLORIA SHIFF, B.S. Instructor in French MR. HERBERT WOODBURY, A.B., M.A. Instructor in French French and Spanish were taught in the language department this year. The department boasts of much equipment with which to help the student gain a wider and more accurate knowledge of the tongue she is studying. The use of the listening and speaking booths, foreign records and magazines, along with lectures and .classroom discussions, aids the linguists in gaining a broader background for their chosen language. DR. PAUL COOKE, A.B., A.M., Ph.D. Chairman of the Department MR. ROBERT SHEWMAN, A.B. Instructor in Spanish Skills in office and home MRS. JEAN GRANFIEID, B.Ed. Chairman of Home Economics Department MISS CAROL CARSKADON, B.S. Instructor in Secretarial Science Typewriter bells pealed fateful warnings in the midst of unsyllabifable words. In carrying out duties which constitute routine measures of future office workers, the Secretarial Science department previews the business world. Under the direction of Miss Carol Carskadon, the girls find a repeated insistence upon speed, accuracy, neatness, and responsibility. Preparation for gracious living in the home is the goal of the Home Economics Department at Monticello. The student can expand her interest in interior design or fashion coordination; she may also learn the niceties of living that make a house a home. To every girl who studies in this department there comes the realization of the true purpose of womanhood. 41 Politics and people DR. CLARA MENGER, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. Chairman of the Department In our world of today it seems almost imperative that we gain an insight into present day affairs with a clear understanding of why and how they happen. The social science courses at Monti-cello are purposely aimed’toward giving students acknowledgment of these principles and also different ways for students to express views and opinions both subjectively and objectively.

GRACE ROGLIS, B.A. Instructor in Psychology The study of science in Missiles, satellites, space rockets, nuclear energy-just a few of the terms which have become an important part of our language in this modern era. To keep pace with the ever changing world, the study of mathematics and the sciences has become a necessity. These fields not only provide students with an insight and a basic knowledge of the overwhelming advancements in science which are occurring daily, but also teach them to utilize their powers of reasoning.

The department was thrilled this year by the prospect of a new Physical Education Center to be built on the campus for use in 1962. MISS SHIRLEE HALL. B.S.

As another year at Monticello rolls around, the girls are thrown into a turmoil of receptions, sponsor spreads, and dinners planned to acquaint new students with the old. Another successful Orientation week and another year full of prosperity and meaningfulness is begun and ended at Monti. A 80 -----_______ Junior-Senior Week arrives From the terrifying announcement late one night in the smoker that the juniors were to begin observing such events as Beatnik Day, and Backwards Day through THE TEST and the announcement of the secret Heavenly Eleven, Junior-Senior Week was a success for both classes. The seniors kept things under control while the juniors grew to be a more unified class. Everyone had fun and learned more about Monticello and its traditions in the process. Congratulations to both classes for a job well done . . . Everything is backwards! Heavenly Eleven: From lop to bottom: Connie Sanders, Sherry Hubbard, Cindy Scoular, Anne Grahm, and Suzy Seaman; Suzanne Hayes, Carol Durr, Judy Peterson, Lefty MacWhirtor, and Nancy Dobler; Susan Crocker, Devil. Christmas brings Monticello is again thrown into the Christmas spirit with the sound of old-time carols, the display of colorful decorations, and the season's greetings. This busy time involves the decorating of the smoker as a surprise from the seniors to the juniors, buying of dolls for the annual Doll Dinner, or making plans for the Christmas Dance. Perhaps the biggest thrill is the Christmas Play presented by drama students for the college and for orphans from the Alton area. This year the play was Greensleeves Magic. This just another way to instill the true Christmas spirit in each Monti girl. whirl of activities [ Over 150 couples danced from 9 until 1. I dreamed I was proposed to at the GWB I only have eyes for you The pause that refreshes . . . marks GWB weekend Ringside seats for New York floor show. Traditional Recognition Service Another historic tradition at Monticello is the presentation of the George Washington Banquet by the College Junior Class. Highlights of the event include the minuet, the speeches and toasts presented at dinner, the presentation of charms to the seniors, and the moment when the seniors learn the theme. This year's theme was A Night in New York. The dining room featured Broadway shows, the Merry-Go-Round was a coffee house, and the gymnasium was a hotel ballroom. The George Washington Banquet, made possible by the hours of planning by the Junior Committee, is enjoyed by nearly 500 persons.

I thought Jr.-Sr. Week was serious business! Get those steps clean, junior! •All right, everybody, O Fairest Monticello . . . and the Faculty sings! As President Duncan Wimpress presents each graduating student with her diploma, one more year has come to an end at Monficello. Though it is the end of the familiar routine of sleepless nights and late term papers, commencement is also the end of many close relationships with instructors and fellow students. More than this, graduation is a milestone in our lives, symbolizing the culmination of two-years' study and struggle. The degree we receive represents an achievement in the growth toward womanhood. A highlight of the tradition-filled weekend is Class Day, during which Juniors robe the Seniors and another link is added, literally and figuratively, to the silver class chain. So as the song says, a part of every heart will linger here.

Every studenf is a member of Stuco, but the governing body consists of the class and club presidents, the house council, the social and sponsor chairmen, and the editors of campus publications. The officers are elected by the student body. The Student Council co-ordinates student government and activity programs. Mrs. Florence Duree, Dean of Students, serves as the faculty adviser. Suzanne Hoyc , President, prepares to conduct a meeting. MCA Through the Monticello Christian Association, a great majority of the Student body adds to their spiritual and social experience through attending lectures by people who are prominent in diversified fields and through participating in group activities such as charity drives and hospital visitations. MCA, the student service group in the Alton community, is headed by a board of preparatory school and college students elected by the student body'. In addition to organizing and sponsoring the major activities above, the board assists with all vesper and chapel program plans. A highlight this year was a series of lectures on the subject of Marriage and the Church. There were also several cabin parties given by the organization.

This group consists of College and Preparatory School students and is affiliated with the national Young Republicans organization. The members of the organization follow their constitution which states their aims to gain more knowledge of politics and to study the standards and goals of the political parties. I COMMITTEE: Sherry Hubbard, Nancy Dobler, and Anne Donovan. Food Committee The Food Committee, headed by Colonel Goodman, consists of three college seniors, two preparatory school seniors, one faculty and one administrative staff member. They aid in planning meals and having a pleasant dining room atmosphere. Although they try to follow the wants and suggestions of the students and the faculty, they have an almost impossible task of pleasing everyone. Each year the Preparatory School seniors choose a girl to exemplify each of the five qualities of a Monti girl. That must be a Monti girl is an approving comment often made by area residents. How they know remains an unanswered question. The following pages pictorially tell how Beauty, Knowledge, Personality, Service, and Versatility make a Monti girl.

Preps Present Melodrama The Preparatory School play Night Must Fall by Emlyn Williams was a murder mystery centered around an old woman's eccentricity. Kim Spezzano, student director, and Miss Nancy Hines, sponsor of the Drama Club, directed the play. The many long hours of sleep lost over memorizing lines proved well worth the effort to all who appeared in the play. Preps on the Move £3 Freckles, blue jeans, corn cob pipes, and a human coffee-making machine are all well-remembered by everyone who attended the informal Sadie Hawkins Dance. This lively evening was sponsored by the Senior class as a fund-raising project to help support the Senior class gift. But . . . honey! Among my souvenirs . . . I'd pass.1 P:_L3 L Paradise Found All ashore! As the sixty couples came down the gangplank to attend the Winter Formal, they were met by four Hawaiian girls who presented them with leis. One more step, and they were Strangers in Paradise. The sea mural, grass hut, and stone wall created a south sea island atmosphere. The planning by the Social Board, and the aching backs of Preps who helped decorate the gym proved well worth the effort. 129 Dix—huit diamonds. The chicken Sophisticated The faculty party is an event that will long be remembered by both students and faculty. Textbooks abandoned for the evening in favor of lighter pursuits brought about such memorable happenings as Mr. Woodbury being beaten at bridge. Miss Sooby learning the chicken, and a dancing exhibition by Mr. Shewman. In spite of too many cokes and marshmallows, and too much popcorn, a wonderful time was had by all. 130 My morshmallow's on fire!!! Faculty “Rocks The Iwisl . . . This is ihe bop ??? I Military Ball One of the highlights of Monti's social year is the Military Ball at Western Military Academy. The crownings of a queen and two princesses were the biggest events of the Ball. The Ball was held in Western's gymnasium. Decorations consisted of red, white and blue banners which were strung throughout the gym. Pausing on her walk through the sabre archway, Jennifer Singer, Military Ball Attendant, bows to the crowd. Christmas! Santa Claus rides again! Presents, people and punch made this year's traditional party a complete success. From mumu's to magazines, sweaters to shower caps, all displayed the typical Yuletide spirit. St. Nick industriously distributed the gaily wrapped packages to the Haskell and Baldwin girls. While opening gifts, some girls were delighted, shocked, puzzled, or in complete awe of the mysterious contents. The spirit of Christmas, however, was contained in every gift. Festivities such as this typify a campus Christmas. 133 It'll be simple! All we need is a paint brush and some paint. Taking advice from one who knows, painting is not that simple. The Baldwin girls can still be seen with blue paint on their levis and sweatshirts, and one would think, having observed this, that the girls had more paint on themselves than in the smoker itself. However, it was well done, and the credit lies on Baldwin walls. Preps Paint a Blue Heaven 135 Tears Blur Commencement With the strains of the March from Aida blasting across the front lawn, the seniors received the traditional red roses in front of Caldwell steps, and Commencement Weekend had begun. Under the age-old Maple trees on the east campus, fifty Preparatory students stepped forward to receive their diplomas. Happy because they had reached a goal, the graduates' faces were shadowed with sadness at the thought of leaving Monticello and their friends.

Two Aspects of Campus Life Social Board The social chairmen are chosen by the student body. They plan everything from beautiful winter formals to bubbling popcorn parties. Early in the year they plan a mixer or mix up as it is commonly called, to introduce Monti to Western Military Academy. The chairmen also plan trips to St. Louis, make arrangements for the students to see the new plays, and to see the Ice Follies. All in all, the social chairmen make the year lively, exciting and gay.

Established by AAiss Harriett Newell Haskell as a small luncheon to which students brought handmade dolls for distribution at nearby childrens homes and hospitals, Doll Dinner has grown to be both an elaborate and beautiful affair. Weeks of preparation are spent in decorating the dining room and library and in choosing and arranging the dolls for display. At dinner prizes are awarded for the best dolls which are later exhibited in the library. Gayle Rogan unpacks and looks over some of the 500 dolls collected this year. Dr. Wimpress shows one of eight winning dolls to faculty, friends, and students at the Doll Dinner. the Dolls from Princess Groce of Monaco and Mrs. Richard Nixon were among those exhibited by Karen Mikolson, Doll Dinner Chairman. Dolls Well, isn't that funny-looking, was a common comment by viewers of the doll display in the library. Rockin’ Docs Entertain You bid four no trump on that? The one chance for Monticello students to see their beloved faculty let their hair down in public came the night of President and Mrs. Wim-press's cabin parly. Those perennial favorites, the Rockin' Docs (Dr. Wimpress, Dr. Myers, and Dr. Oldham) were on hand to provide the music—all time hits, such as Temptation and April Love. Mrs. Robert Shewman sang a few songs to the delight of the girls. It was here that many close friendships were formed between the faculty and students.

Only on rare occasions does the faculty offer Monticello a show of talent the likes of which the world has never seen. The college and preparatory school gathered for the Faculty Follies, which presented the story of their generation from the Roaring Twenties to the Flighty Fifties. Students were surprised to learn that the faculty can rock as well as Charleston. Yup— Elvi Carter is out of the Army. Roaring Twenties to Flighty IT Fun and Fellowship Wrap Up Hold your horses!

It would be impossible to explain everything that has gone on behind the scenes in the production of the Echo. We've had our problems. The late deadlines had a way of falling at the times when we were at our busiest with exams and term papers. After numerous long trips to sharpen the few pencils we could find, we were greeted by a shiny new pencil sharpener on the wall during the last week of our final deadline. We also had our share of fun. Who among the Times and Echo staffs traveling to Chicago to attend the Associated Collegiate Press conference can forget Elaine Campbell yelling Watch your step, please! It would take pages to list each staff member who devoted hard work and much time to help put out the Echo. However, special recognition is due Neosha Chandler, Advertising Manager, who far exceeded the original quota for her section. Special thanks are also due Mr. Paeltz and Mr. Gravemann, chief photographers for the Echo, and Mr. Neal Thompson, our yearbook representative, who waited patiently for pages which were very slow in being completed. Mr. Murphy, our adviser, was ALMOST always there when we needed him, to approve or criticize pages, or merely lend moral support. We couldn't have done it without him. In the 1961 Echo we have tried to capture a little of Monti's tradition, but mostly the spirit and dedication of the People who give Monti-cello its distinctive atmosphere. From its beginning as a dream in 1835, Monticello has been blessed with People determined to show that when you educate man you educate an individual; when you educate a woman you educate a family. This year has been no exception. It is to these People, inspiring and creating the matchless progressive spirit of Monticello, to whom this yearbook is dedicated. If we have succeeded in our goal, then the many flunked exams and the lost hours of sleep will not have been in vain. Off to the Highlands. i 1 vV 0003003678269
