But one day, in the not too distant future, our ever-changing language will be required to devise another expression to take its place, as reaching for a star will have joined the ranks of the obsolete, along with zounds and forsooth. Even now, mighty rockets are beginning to puncture our at- mospheric veil and probe into the infinite blackness beyond. And one day soon, though perhaps none of us will see it, man will reach for a star-and touch it. Who will the pioneers of this infinite and eternal frontier be? If not our generation, then the next, or the next. But one thing is assured, the generation of today, the students of Morton Iunior College, will do their bit in making it happen, even as the last did, for man pushes into the future by building on the past. To the student of today, who will make it possible for his grandson or his great-grandson to touch a star, this book is dedicated. dminiotration . . . . . . . 6 Student Toaly. . . 16 Q4 .. ...... ..56 ctivitieo oathletico ......... . . 80 The administration has the responsibility of setting the general policies of the college. These objectives need to be well-defined and translated into course content and meaningful teaching- leaming experiences in order that general, ter- minal, and college-bound students will get the utmost out of their college work. The school leadership at Morton Iunior Col- lege is continually seeking improvement in all phases of its education program. Research studies are made to study programs of finance, kinds of personnel, building, equipment, techniques of teaching, and content because today's trends be- come tomorrow's realities. The administration has seen the necessity for the formation of greater opportunities for the students at Morton junior College. They are cognizant of the fact that ours is a changing world, and the needs must be expanded. Through the leadership of the administration, Morton junior College has been successful in the past and through their constant dedication and imaginativeness it is certain to maintain its well-eamed respect throughout the state. The standards of Morton junior College are of the highest caliber and justifiably on a par with any college in the country. This is an in- dication of an administration whose impartial interest is the youth of this community. Morton junior College is fortunate in having not only well-qualified teachers, but teachers who are interested in the community and their students. This quality of teaching staff has also been reco- gnized by the administration as a necessity in the establishment of a school to cope with an ever changing world. The students at Morton junior College should be grateful for having at the helm, men who are imbued with the desire to further their scope in life and who zealously and unselfishly give them- selves to the plan. - -.a 'RL f 4 r ,- Elie gz3reoident DR. XVALTER L. COOPER The notable traditions of Morton Junior College have been upheld because of the fine leadership and keen interest of its deans, teachers, and counselors. The successful operation of the college is chiefly dependent on the guidance and direction of its president, Walter L. Cooper. Dr. Cooper earned his Bachelor degree at Central Missouri State Teachers' College and acquired his Master and Doctor degrees from the University of Missouri. Dr Cooper, along with the Board of Educa- tion, formulates the educational policies of the college. 8 HAROLD J. NVHITE Dean of the College THE BOARD: Left to right: George Prosch, joseph F. Mrizck, james Zourck, Edward W. Chodl, Otto Oplatka, Otto Pecha, Charles Matt. fha oarcl of Qalucation The Board of Education has stimulated the growth and quality of our junior college through its policies and executive directives. This quest for quality and standards is a reflection of the character. abilities, and attitudes of the parents, the administrators, and the school staff. The members of the Board have been sensitive to the desires of the citizens, and through this devotion to their duties, have provided the neces- sary funds, direction, and personnel to fulfill the objective of quality education for all students. In their good judgment, they have selected Dean White to implement their policies. The fact that industry clamors for graduates of Morton .Iunior College, and the fact that Morton's college credits are not only accepted by universities but recognized as quality credits, is the best acknow- ledgement of the successful leadership of Dean White. We at MIC give a tremendous vote of thanks to Dean White and the Board members: Edward Chodl, presidentg Ioseph Mrizek, secretary, George Proschg james Zourekg Otto Oplatka, Otto Pechag and Charles Matt. .L G99 9 T 'A..

Its students, as a whole, come from the im- mediate locale, and the greater majority have attended Morton High School. They are of varied nationalities and creeds, but all are united in one purpose-higher education. The students at Morton junior College are serious-minded students who have resolved to take advantage of this opportunity of furthering their education as is offered them by a junior college. Perhaps some would not have been able to go on if this chance had not been presented to them. The fact that they are seeking higher education is an indication of their level-minded- ness and far-reaching goals. The students have different needs and poten- tials for which the junior college provides. It has taken into account the human diversity of the students and the multiplicity of society' needs. Under the guidance of qualified teachers, the students are motivated towards their goals. Organizations at Morton junior College em- compass a wide swath, and thus the students have a choice of belonging to those which hold their interest and for which they are more quali- fied and thus are able to excell. The publications offer opportunities for budding journalists who may, someday, become the purveyors of monu- mental news. Among the clubs are those that appeal to the esthetic sense. From the success of our drama group's accomplishments it can be said that our Thespians are tops in quality. Our athletic teams do an excellent job, too, even though they are limited as to size. The students of our great school are mindful of the fact that they must some day assume the responsibilities of enlightened citizens. Their goals, therefore, are to acquire knowledge, at- titudes, and general skills that are necessary to live successfully in this competitive world of today. mf-xYN1uHT 11-L S! elaoo of qzineteen Sixty Every story has an ending, but ours is just the beginning. For the sophomores of MIC, this year will be ,another cornerstone for future education or a position in the outside world. We have a world all our own governed by the Sophomore Cabinet who present us with the many dances, mixers, and playnights throughout the year. Among the most memorable are the Prom and Class Night. Showing an interest in the functions of MIC paves the way for the individual to become a member of one of the Cabinets. However, he must also have attained a C average. The student body then takes over and elects the candidates of their choice. Under the advisorship of Mr. Bergstrom, the Cabinet has done an outstanding job. fa will X NK Gt C1 First Semester, Left to right: Mr. Bergstrom, Acluisnrg Howard Xvitt, Presizlentg joann Pospisil, Secretary, Lorraine Herda, Vice Presidentg Not Pictured: julie Frank, Treasurer.

Edward Newton coined this truth, and it is as applicable today as when written. Many of the men and women of MIC have adhered to this philosophy, their high scholastic standing is in evidence of this. These students are to be lauded for having pursued their studies with such deter- mination and zeal. Other students, who have also earned admiration, are those who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of publi- cation and drama. :Phi fltefa a p pa I will study and get ready and maybe my chance will come?

Is is an honor society for freshmen students, advised by Mr. Harold Warren. An average of B or better for the first semester, along with high qualities of leadership, service, and character constitute qualifications for mem- bership in this society. The Aides are chosen at the beginning of the second semester by the faculty. As freshman Aides, the students assist Dr. Cooper, president of the College. They have charge of the majority of MJC elections and aid in commencement exercises. Their duties as sophomores are to get the social season under way at the start of the year and to supervise first semester elections.

Once each semester the freshman class of MIC elects a group of individuals to act as the class's spokesman in the social activities of the Cicero college. Through the leadership and service of the Cabinet, the class is given an opportunity to participate in a full social program and to get acquainted with other students. This year, under the direction of its advisor, B. L. Davidson, the Freshman Cabinet sponsored playnights and mixers, organized all the Home- coming activities, assisted in arrangements for the spring Prom, participated in the planning of Class Night, and helped the Sophomore Cabinet with various details throughout the school semesters. 2-Q'.

It's not the news- paper office popularly portrayed on television and in the movies. There is no rushing about of frantic reporters screaming, Stop the presses! The office is run quietly and in a businesslike manner. Stories are assigned by the frustrated, but businesslike, editors, and are quietly, and in an equally businesslike manner, refused by the equally frustrated reporters. Mistakes, typogra- phical errors, and plain stupidity are quietly eradicated by the businesslike proofreaders. Illegible handwritten copy is quietly typed by the businesslike typists, as they softly curse to themselves in a businesslike manner. Finally, Sam Meyers, the staff advisor, quietly, and in a businesslike manner, condemns the whole staff as incompetant.

Q t QQ w mlslem Once a year a small magazine is issued by a group of students and this publication is called the Emblem. What is the Emblem? It could be a loosely formed collection of words laid down by students merely to satisfy rhetoric theme as- signments. It could be an assemblage of poorly constructed poems, all loudly saying nothing, and selected only to fill the blank pages of the magazine. But the staff of this literary review is con- cerned with more than filling pages with print. It conscientiously sorts through huge piles of student writings and tries to assemble not merely a mass of words, but instead the ideas and thoughts, the pleasures and desires, and the fears and frustrations of this generation about to join the ranks of our society. In short, it is a profile of the future businessmen, politicians, artists-the leaders of our nation. This is the Emblem. E Mary Ann Haack, Kathy Fligel, Lolita Hansen.

Although it does not sponsor any social functions, the Council has many important prob- lems to deal with throughout the year. Among it's duties, the Council tries to bring about a unity between the organizations of the college. Its job also entails promoting a better understanding between the faculty and the stu- dent body, carrying out the decisions made which pertain to the activities of MIC, and dis- tributing the money collected from the activity fees to the different organizations. The Council is under the advisorship of Miss Dunn and Mr. Nauman who do a great deal to aid the organization in every possible way. Two of the Council members are chosen by the deans and the other three are elected by the student body-two from the sophomore class and one from the freshmen class.

The facilities of this clubroom enable the women to relax in the comfort of soft chairs while listen- ing to the hi-fi, doing an advanced homework assignment, or talking with friends. The Women's Club traditionally begins the year with the Big-Little Sister Reception which acquaints the freshmen with the sophomores and provides information on the courses offered, the extra curricular activities, and other questions concerning the college. Under the advisorship of Miss Grace Caarder, the club also sponsors the Mother-Daughter Ban- quet, a tea in the spring, a dance, and a play- night. The men acted as waiters for the Mother-Daughter Banquet. 62 'N' T? Officers of the second semester: Left to right: Barbara Linhart, Secretaryg Sandra Lilegdon, Presidentg Judy Kratochvil, Treasurer.

Truly a rare moment-thc smoky haze has lifted! en'0 eluls Los Angeles has its smog and MIC has its Men's Club. Contrary to common belief, this is not an opium den, but simply a place for the male population of the college to relax. The overstuffed leather chairs, long since fallen into decay, the TV set, long since broken, and the chess and checkers sets, the pieces long since lost, make this a formidable task. The ever-pre- sent cigarettes, cigars, and pipes, all going full blast, obscure the little flaws and almost make the Men's Club a pleasant place to be. It must be pointed out, however, that the Men's Club is far from an inactive organization. Even though one cannot see activity through the haze, the Homecoming dance, mixers, intramural teams, and the Father and Son Banquet are all planned by the officers of this organization. Waiters from the Men's Club arc ready to serve at the Mother-Daughter Banquet. Iss it First semester officers, left to right: Ken Kovanda, John Carlson, Ray Bonelli, George Kartsounes.

A wide variety of programs are pre- sented. They are balanced between purely en- tertaining and those of a serious natureg between professional and student presentations. The committee consists of six students selected each semester by the student council. A general practice has been to retain one member from the previous semester and to include one member from the student council. There are three main sources for programs, other than those presented by the students: the University of Wisconsin Bureau of Lectures and Concertsg the Adult Education Council of Chicagog and Redpath. The advisors and student committee make their decisions from brochures of programs, usually four or five months in ad- vance. You see, there is much more to planning and presenting a convocation than you think! 64 First Semester Members: Dennis Flaherty, Dan McCarthy, Alice Anne Peterik, Michael Kouri.

The sponsor of the group is Mr. Rankin. The group meets regularly, once a week. At these meetings, the club has group Bible reading, in- spirational talks, in addition to singing religious music. The clubis purpose is to study the Bible, find a fuller meaning in life through Jesus Christ, and to promote interest throughout the school and community in religion and religious activi- ties. At their meetings, ministers, missionaries, and religious films help to create an atmosphere of good will and religion. Also, the group has social activities for its members which are a very important part of the fellowship. 1199-9 R, '5'f' Members: Sam Martel, Richard Raley, Larry Veysada, Ron Uher, Eldon M.

Yes, you-a member of the Morton junior College Theatre Guild. One cannot realize the feeling of an opening night unless one has something to do with it. The Theatre Guild of MIC does not require professional people, it only requires that a person be interested in acting, and interested in helping and taking part.

The choir of MIC has now become known to many as Music Workshop. Here, under the direction of Mr. Robert Dvorak, students become better acquainted with music and its different aspects. The Music Workshop is a place where new ideas are formed and tried. NVith the guiding baton of Mr. Dvorak and the energy and enthusiasm of all the chorus members, the Morton junior College Choir pre- sented concerts away from school. In addition to the annual Christmas Convocation, the choir gave Christmas concerts at Thorton junior Col- lege and at the Veterans Hospital in Chicago, and an Easter convocation at LC.. With new ideas and new goals, the choir sang its way to the end of another successful year. l 'T T'L' Carol Benesek, Connie Nesbed, Carol Milcsov- sky, Marianne Kirbach, Marilyn Cohr.

Qrcheoio To the Indians, the dance was a vital part of their religious life, and was thought to be necessary for the success of their witchcraft. As man became civilized, he used the dance for pleasure and adopted the melodies of different countries. To foster an interest in the cultural medium of dance, Orchesis was formed at M.I.C. Through the study of dance origins and the actual per- formance of the choreography, the members gain an appreciation of the techniques in volved in a dance interpretation. Exercises enable the dancers to better co- ordinate themselves to the intricate steps in- volved in many of the dance routines. After care- ful study, the Orchesis members are able to in- terpret music for a variety of colors and types of fabrics. Under the direction of Miss Ernst, Orchesis was the backbone of this year's production of Guys and Dolls. Membership is open to all men and women of the college who are interes- ted in participating in the activities of the club.

Every Yvednesday afternoon following a short business meeting, the members of the M.1.C. Swim Club begin their practice sessions in the pool. Here the men and women learn and perfect many stunts and strokes under the supervision of their adviser, Miss D. -I. Cries- baum. The knowledge of strokes and stunts gainedin these practice sessions makes possible the many unusual and creative routines used in group swimming. The climax of the year is the Spring convoca- tion held in May. All Wet , the convocation this year, gave the student body an idea of the amount of time and work necessary in presenting an interesting and entertaining synchronized swimming program.

Preparations for the annual event were started early to assure a color- ful parade and a successful dance. The queen candidates were chosen, the football team re- viewed its plays, and all was in readiness for the much anticipated occasion. To commence the Homecoming festivities, a convocation was held on Thursday. The cheerleaders led the stu- dents in several cheers and in the singing of the school song. M-IC's dance band also played some selections during convocation, josh Wind, a comedian-guitarist, put the audience in a jovial Homecoming mood with his antics. Although MjC's Panthers were defeated by a score of 34-0, an air of satisfaction prevailed be- cause the team put up a good battle and never lost its fighting spirit. That night the Days of Yore activities were completed with the Homecoming Dance. Music was furnished by the Velvatones for the enjoy- ment of everyone.

The association was merely an idea in the minds of Larry Stepenske, john Pernicka and Howie Witt in the fall semester, but this idea was cultivated and finally crystallized into the present active organi- zation. The association was formed for the purpose of promoting a better understanding of the engineering field for the student. Membership is not limited to engineering students, however, because the planners realized that there are college in related fields who have an interest in engineering. Through interesting lectures, ap- plicable motion pictures, and intelligent discus- sions this organization presents a realistic pic- ture of what engineers do on the job. The mem- bers also delve into information pertaining to the schooling in this technical profession, and meet- ings are held during which the midwest engi- neering colleges are discussed. During the spring the first meeting of the Engineering Association was held, and the offi- cers pictured were elected. Mr. George Royce of the mathematics department was requested to be the association advisor, and he cordially ac- cepted the position. The organization has plan- ned its meetings for the seventh hour on the Thursdays when there is no convocation, and the meetings are well attended by interested men and women. The Engineering Association is an important tool to help mold the M.I.C. engineering student, and membership in this organization is an asset to any one interested in the field of engineering.

The picture of the entire Football team does not appear due to the request by many members of the squad who felt that because of the dismal season a picture was not warranted. This year the Panthers had a long, hard sea- son, losing six of their seven games. They had a one and four record in league competition, plus losses to North Central and Wheaton B teams. In all, Morton scored 25 points against 219 by their opponents. The season opened on Saturday, October 3 against Wilson Iunior College at Hanson Stadium. Wilson won by a 41-0 score. On the following Friday, the Panthers won their only game of the year by a 13-6 score over joliet. Two runs with fumbles, which led directly to touch- downs, made the difference in the contest. After the Joliet game, Morton didn't come close to winning a game. North Central's B team, Wil- son, LaSalle Peru, Thornton, and Wheaton's B team romped over the Panthers in that order. The worst of these games came on October 29 when LaSalle Peru ran up a 46-0 half time lead and held it throughout the game. The football team was directed by Bill Hedtke and Ed Wojiechowski.

Morton junior College's Basketball team com- piled a 9-ll record this season, a slight improve- ment over their 7-10 record last year. The team started out slowly this year, losing four of their first six with 0-4 league play. Then, starting with the Purdue game at home on December 15, the Panthers started clicking. They captured six of their next eight games and were very close in the games they did lose. Near the end of the season, Morton came within seven points of Wilson and five points of joliet, teams they lost to previously by 32 and 40 points respectively. These scores show the vast improvement in the team as the season progressed. Morton as a team scored 65.6 points a game to their opponents 67.1. The cheerleaders remained loyal supporters through- out the entire season. '21 Him 'LM'-. sm, V. x ' EQ. : Ns- W'-55 N MU., , . V P .

The highlights of the season were a second place in the Chicago Daily News Relays and a first place in the First Annual Morton junior College Invitational Track meet. Many observers feel that the win in their own meet made Morton the top indoor track team of any junior College in the State. Top men on the squad were Larry Stepenske, joe Kelsch, George Wolf, and Ed Sawdo. These four, made up the relay team that finished sec- ond in the Daily News Relays. Throughout the season, Stepenske, Wolf, and Sawdo specialized in the distance runs while Kelsch ran in the sprints. In the field events, Kelsch also competed in the broad -jump and Wolf in the high jump. Don Marrone was Morton's best pole vaulter while jerry Mejdrich threw the 16 pound shot put.

The 1960 edition has an entirely new look from that of the 1959 squad. There are no returning letterrnen and there is a new coach to guide the squad. Mr. R. M. Brown has been appointed as tennis coach replacing Mr. William Rader, who left Morton to continue his education. From early indications, Dick Zeschke and Dave Malek appear.to be the most likely to play this year. In all, ten to twelve men are on the squad but only a fraction of these have been attending practice regularly. In order to equal last year's performance, Morton would have to come up with a few surprises since the 1959 team wound up in second place in league competition. Qaoelsall M.I.C.'s 1960 Baseball team was hoping to im- prove upon their winning record of a year ago. However, only two lettermen are back from that team which compiled a 5-4-2 record. They are Richard Fuzzy Nelson, third baseman, and Maurie Brogni, pitcher-outfielder. jim Laga southpaw pitcher on the 1959 Morton High School team was also expected to bolster the pitching corps. These three, along with the other boys out for the team, give promise of another successful season. Since the pitching appears to be rather solid, the only real problem seems to be able to get some runs. If this problem can be taken care of, Morton should have one of their most successful seasons in years. This season, as usual, coach Ed Wojiechowski handled the Base- ball team. The team held both its practices and home games at 31st and East in Berwyn.
