All the great times I had as a TKB(nowTKE)brother. The social life was great, especially at our two houses on Hollywood Ave. The TGIF parties were especially fun.

So many fond/crazy memories, including my last day there,(February, 1979). After flying in from a Vermont ski trip in a friend’s plane ...to pick up my diploma (fall graduate)at Wilson Hall...there was one problem. Wilson Hall had a fire going on and no one was allowed inside. After explaining my plight to Dean Espy, he accompanied 2 firemen up to the Registrar’s office to retrieve my diploma(BA-Sociology). The (then) President , Richard Stonesifer was there as well, and offered me a personal invitation to the Spring commencement!!! It was the 1st time I met him, and this was all covered in an article, which I still have, by the Daily Register!!!

Where to start, my first real time away. Move in day in Aug. 1998 I remember doing laundry two days later because it was so hot, old school gaming in Elmwood, Atari, NES, SNES NES64, Sega, PSone, and network tournaments of Half Life. In my time I saw many changes of new buildings. The one week in April that it got hot enough to go to the beach to the nights at Jacks and Tradewinds along with the Pony. Not to mention all of the longlasting friendships that were made there. If I had a chance to do college over again, without a thought, I would choose moving into Elmwood Hall again to start of my college times.

Class of 1974

Monmouth has such a beautiful campus. I have fond memories of riding my bicycle around the campus and to the beach. The Inkwell was a good place to meet friends and playing frisbee by Elmwood Hall was fun. I particularly enjoyed my classes in the beautiful Wilson Hall. My favorite professor was Arie Van Everdingen.

Class of 1985

The Student Center, in which the TKE table was a round table in the immediate right corner. If you were hungry you paid Addie the little red haired cafeteria lady for your goods! The radio station was on the 3rd floor, and it burned down and was rebuilt over a year later. My most memorable profs included "Yarmy" (Dr Yarmachuk), Prof Rich, Prof Lisankie (Marketing & Adv), Dr. Portuondo and Coates (Languages). Extra curricular memories include the TKEs and other Greeks and their parties, Greek Weeks, Spring Weekends, Thursday nights at Club Spanky’s, which I think the band was "The Passions", Pier Pub, Tradewinds, the beach, hot dogs and mushrooms at the Windmill, and a place that delivered strombolis.

Class of 1960

Felix Moltzer at the Aeolian Organ every Friday afternoon. I think I took every class he taught. Monmouth was indeed the best four years of my life as I spend these retirement days digitizing old slides mostly of the wonderful friends I made.

Class of 1979

I have fond memories of the Social Work
department and all the learning and fun that the social work students were involved in. Mrs. Greta Singer was our
advisor who was supportive and helped us in many ways. Monmouth was
smaller then but always provided a
friendly and supportive learning environment. I currently work as a counselor for CVR in Eatontown NJ.
I often wonder if any graduates from that year are still in the area.

Class of 1972

Long time ago... but great memories of the Ink Well, West End, war protests. There actually was a swimming pool in front of Wilson Hall. Walking through amazing architecture every day. Always sunny days.

Class of 1975

We used to play football on the large field at the libray. I remember studying for finals at the beach and on the roof of the Library. The science Hall was great, it seemed like a place where you could get away and the professors were great to talk to. Baseball (and basketball) were the top sports then. Summer courses can’t be beat, it’s a whole different atmosphere.

Class of 1996

To all of the girls in Elmwood Hall from Sept. 91- May 92. We had some good and bad times, but the good times were AMAZING! TKE parties, Laff Inn and the Stone Pony. Some of the best times of my life!

Class of 1976

Smoking in class? There were tiny stamped tin ash-trays on most desks in 1972-73 and during exams the closed windows in the history/govt. building caused the room to fill with smoke. The rules were changed in 1973 after I organized a letter writing campaign and wrote editorial in "The Outlook". This was, perhaps my only real contribution at Monmouth but I remember the battle well. Free Springsteen concerts, 33.5 cent gas and $77.00 per credit classes. 4 years of great memories....and great friends. E-mail me if you wish to catch up!

Class of 1977

It is difficult to know where to begin; I have so many happy memories of Monmouth. I’ll always remember: The new(at that time) Student Center; Delta Sigma Phi; parties Thursday nights (we could drink at 18 then); keg parties; going with the pledges for a weekend to Penn State; The Ink Well; Elmwood Hall; Laurel Hall (my first home away from home); Wilson Hall; all of my friends; breakfast at 3am in Long Branch; my first true Jersey shore pizza (coming from Connecticut, there was no pizza like Jersey pizza); Asbury Park’s Asbury Jutes. I could go on and on because those were the best days. I would never change them for anything. We are now all grown up with children of our own and trying to pass on to them a legacy! Best Wishes, Kathy Sullivan, Class of 1977

Class of 1933

I remember when Monmouth moved from Long Branch High School to the the
campus in a pick-up truck. My mother Ruth L Bayly worked for Monmouth
when it was at the high school until her retirement and was the the ad
visor for MAP.

Memories of the outdoor swimming pool ... I do it was mighty cold when
I took swimming lessons in it! The Christmas dances that faculty,
staff, students and families attended...the first open houses for the community to see the campus...the dining hall in the main building...
the movie Annie being filmed at Monmouth and then seeing it with my
daughter who was five and wanted to stay to see all the credits and

Class of 2005

I have some pretty great memories of MU! I can still remember move in day at Elmwood Hall. I remember how nervous I was...waiting in line to get my key! I can still remember the Underground Pizza/Sub Shop at Elmwood, the year without an Underpass, I remember the crossing guard, I remember McAllan Hall before it was McAllan Hall, I remember the Plangere Center before it was built. I remember jackhammers pounding at 7am in the Quad to build the underpass! Most importantly I remember friends. I remember my first real Spring Break! I remember moving off campus for the first time. I remember the first time I got involved on campus. I remember Homecomings, 9/11, a New President, and so much more, but most of all I will never forget the day that Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity was approved on campus! That day will always be my best memory!

Class of 2005

To pick out one favorite memory from my time at Monmouth would definitely be a tough task to accomplish. Maybe it is something in the air, or maybe it’s the fact that I have been away for about two and a half year, I find myself reminiscing about the fun I had and the friends I made at my time at MU! Some of the great memories that I have are New Student Orientation…both my own orientation as a freshman and the many others that I assisted with as an Orientation Leader, great times living in the residence halls (Spruce/Great Lawn Apartments) and off campus around Long Branch, the fun times with The Student Activities Board S.A.B., Student Government, and Sigma Tau Gamma!
