Morton junior College has grown in size and made great strides since it was founded in 1924. 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.

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.
