Quality Education

Martha McCrory, QHS '37 - Building A Cellist's Legacy When Paul Morrison brought a half-sized cello to the McCrory home some decades ago, little did he know that he was opening doors and creating a path for 8 year-old Martha to follow for a lifetime. Martha and her cello prospered in junior high and high school by winning contests and enjoying All-State Orchestras and summer music camp at Interlochen, as well as the many activities Mr. Morrison provided. While studying at the University of Michigan, she continued to excel in all things musical. On one occasion, she auditioned for an orchestra being organized by Leopold Stokowski and the U.S. State Department. Some 40,000 young people from across the country auditioned for a position in this fabulous project. Local, state, and regional auditions preceded the final one with Leopold Stokowski himself. Martha was chosen and excitement followed! The orchestra gathered in Atlantic City for two weeks of rehearsals followed by concerts in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Those concerts were but a prelude to a trip to South America by cruise ship. Martha and the All-American Youth Orchestra played concerts in Rio, Montevideo, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo and several islands in the Caribbean. Next came a few years in Rochester, NY, where Martha earned a master’s degree from the Eastman School of Music. There she played in the Rochester Philharmonic, taught continued on page 2...

Anne St. John, QHS '52 - Living The Good Life Anne Musolino St. John, 1952 graduate! Can it really be 56 years and where did they all go? I know many of us ask that question, but looking back, it has to be. We have gone from Nat King Cole singing, “They try to tell us we’re too young,” [and we were] to Pee-Daddy-Pip or whatever his name is, singing …I haven’t a clue what he is singing and I really don’t care. You know, that is one of the really neat things about being older, we have earned the right to not care. At last, freedom rings. We are free to be and accept who we have become. I had a really good friend tell me recently, “If you lived in my neighborhood west of Eighth Street, people would call you crazy, but you East-Enders are just eccentric!” I replied, “Yes, that is true and it took many peaks and valleys for me to get this way!” In 1967, I cautiously moved back to Quincy after spending 14 years in various cities, the last being Wheaton, IL. Living in the suburbs of Chicago was a great place to be at that time and I grew, with my 3 children, and learned the exciting aspects of big city life. Although it offered many things, after a while I recognized that ‘home’ was a pretty good place after all. That strong sense of community spirit and stability was not to be continued on page 2...

Martha McCrory - ...continued from page 1 cello in the school’s preparatory department and earned an Artist’s Diploma in cello, the highest honor awarded by the school. From there, she moved to San Antonio, TX, where she played in the San Antonio Symphony and held a faculty post at Trinity University. A few years later, a young conductor talked her into moving to Chattanooga, TN, where she played in the local orchestra, held a teaching position, and performed dozens of chamber music concerts throughout the Southeast. Upon being selected to be manager of the Chattanooga Symphony, the orchestra concerts led Martha to Sewanee, TN. Soon, she was approached by the president of the University of the South, who asked her to move to Sewanee to run a summer music program and be the first woman to teach at the University. Building the summer music program kept Martha busy for 42 years. The Sewanee Summer Music Center was Martha’s most creative and impressive accomplishment. The faculty came from leading orchestras in the United States and Europe. Students from many countries also heard about SSMC and attended the

Center. As a cellist, Martha participated in all of the orchestras throughout the area. The world of country music was particularly rewarding. For a number of years, Martha was a “regular” in the Nashville recording studios where she worked with dozens of artists, including Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, George Jones, Alabama, Barbara Mandrell and Chet Atkins. Martha, now retired with an honorary doctorate from the University of the South, continues to encourage young people to study and attend summer music programs. Her McCrory Foundation assists talented string students from various youth orchestras. Currently, a new auditorium is being built on the campus of St. Andrews-Sewanee, a nearby prep school. Opening ceremonies for McCrory Hall will be held in April, 2009. In her own words, “Y’all come!”

Anne St. John - ...continued from page 1 duplicated in a high population area. Holidays could be a really empty experience for this little gal from a big, huggy Italian family. I used bring my kids home on the train to the open arms of adoring grandparents. I would marvel at the architectural treasures in Quincy and sit in my parents’ yard at 20th and Kentucky and look up at the magnificent trees. In Wheaton I had planted the one lonely tree in our yard, which had been a cornfield the year before. As a young homeowner I learned many skills that would help in my future career in interior design. I really bought into the idea that we could be whatever we wanted if we were willing to work at it, and so I did just that. I went back to college to earn my degree as a Licensed Practical Nurse, which helped tremendously in caring for my terminally ill parents, daughter and daughter-in-law. I also attended photography school and earned my Master Gardener degree from the University of Illinois. Yep, that’s me, “Jack of all trades and master of none.” I now live in an older home that we bought as a fixer-upper. I spend many happy hours fixing it up, digging in the dirt, smelling the roses and sharing my garden with family, friends and two neurotic cats. They love me, what can I say? I also enjoy being involved in volunteer work and doing all sorts of community projects. There are so many interesting people to meet and some have become great friends over the years. A group of concerned friends and I formed a new

volunteer group called “Trees for Tomorrow.” Our initial goal was to rebuild the canopy of trees on Maine Street that over time has been lost for various reasons. We kicked off this program in October, 2007, and thanks to many generous contributions have planted 194 trees and are still counting. As a result, last year we won the highest award ever given in the state of Illinois for growth in a Tree City, USA. We have since partnered with many organizations and are working with the Quincy Public Schools to bring added emphasis on the importance of being good stewards of our homes and the environment. I am happy to be in Quincy again. It continues to grow, but I can still go anywhere in 15 minutes. Many young people and retirees are coming here to find the good life. I feel truly blessed to have been raised and educated here and thankful that I made the decision to come home. It brings back so many memories… poodle skirts and angora sweaters (the guys hated these), bobby socks, black and white saddle shoes and Evening in Paris cologne purchased at Kresges at Sixth and Maine. The guys wore blue jeans, white shirts with the sleeves rolled up and penny loafers with the penny. We talked about cute boys and cool cars, hung out at Maid Rite and somehow, most of us managed to survive all the crazy things we did. “We were the Quincy girls, we wore our hair in curls.” It is so true, quality is much more important than quantity.

Superintendent's Corner It is with great honor and pride that I write my first column to you. I first came to Quincy in the fall of 1983, and by December I was in love with this wonderful community! We have so much to be proud of in this great city. It is a magnificent place to live, work, and raise children. I spent the first 17 years of my working career in Quincy. As my career progressed, I physically spent eight years away, but never mentally left the town I so dearly love. During my time away, each time when I drove into the city limits, I would get chills knowing I was “home.” When I was named the new Superintendent of Schools this past spring, it was one of the greatest days of my life. I fully understand the demands and responsibilities of the position. Expectations in this community are high, but no more so than those I keep for myself. I hope you look back fondly on the truly wonderful education you received in the Quincy Public Schools. Our staff is unmatched. I have seen their care and concern for our students

In Memory

as I visit their classrooms. I see students ages 3-18 who love their school system. In short, my life is good. It is our obligation as a “family” to provide the best education possible for our youth. They are indeed, our future. I couldn’t ask for a better group of teammates to help me on my journey. You are part of one of the greatest Alumni Organizations in the State of Illinois. You are one of over 22,000 Quincy High School graduates. No matter where my travels take me in the state, my colleagues ask, “How is Quincy?” You are the reason Quincy is synonymous with Excellence. I ask that you consider joining the QHS Alumni Association. It is active and growing. Your talents and strengths will help us continue our mission of providing future generations with the best education possible. I am humbled to be your Superintendent. We do great work each and every day in our schools. We would love for you to join our team. Whether you live in town or across the country, remember you will always be a Blue Devil!

With Quincy Pride, Lonny B. Lemon
