The dictionary meaning is a passage, a way of overcoming, a channel, or course. Moline Community College can then be considered a bridge to better living. For many students MCC is just the begin- ning of a new life. The junior college is a passage to better schools and further educa- tion. In addition, MCC can be considered a stepping stone to new social experiences. Stu- dents keep old friends, but all important, they make new friends. School activities such as dances, plays, and variety shows tend to ac- quaint students with each other. This Year at MCC has been a year full of many occurrences. New teachers, new classes, and more students have filled our school to a new peak. Unforgettable will be the record snowfall of over fifty-seven inches. Blinding snow storms, high drifts, and slippery streets made driving almost impossible. The schools, upon one occasion, closed down completely. Stu- dents received a welcome snow vacation. Momentous events have happened in na- tional affairs also. While students daily trudged to and from school, the United States met the force of the never-to-be-forgotten steel strike. Into our country Russian visitor Krushchev was welcomed. Touring the States he was shown the typical lives of American people. Our own President Eisenhower also visited foreign countries. He went on a good will tour through India and Latin America. There he received hearty welcome and friendly hos- pitality. This past year has meant much to MCC students, and they look toward the future with eager anticipation. Some have already crossed the bridge, others are just approach- ing the bridge. MCC will always be a passage to better living. Table of Contents Introduction .... Administration . . . Students ........ Adult Education . . . Activities ....... Sports ........ Advertisement . . . Index ...... . A Span of if We dedicate . . . . . . to Mrs. Margaret Halliday, who has been registrar at Moline Community College since 1952, the 1960 GALAXY. Small in stature, her reputation is great. Sec- retary to Dr. McClintock and supervisor of the secretarial staff, Mrs. Halliday is indispensible. Amiable and cooperative, she works hard and earnestly to provide school schedules and keep records orderly and close at hand. Being registrar is no easy job, but petite Mrs. Halliday has never failed us. Supervisor of regis- tration, she is capable of coping with all problems that arise. The increased enrollment called for long hours, but stamina is one of her many vir- X ... ff l l ff, ,ff 1 ii' l tues. Although many students found it hard to prove they were from Moline while registering, they realized the efficiency of her work and co- operated to the fullest extent. Mrs. Halliday's curly gray head is seen bobbing throughout the school building, from basement to third floor, as she lends a Willing hand to anyone who asks. During the Christmas season this gay little lady decorated the office in cheerful, sea- sonal colors. Anyone entering the office met a ring of happy faces in an atmosphere most sacred. In order to recognize the direct and indirect debt that the students and faculty owe to her, we dedicate this volume of the GALAXY to Mrs. Margaret Halliday. 6 l Helpfulness With each semester an increased enrollment is met by a capable staff. Backed by the Board of Education and Dr. Davis, our Dean, Dr. McClintock carries a heavy load on strong shoulders. A congenial man, he runs the school With no trouble. He's well liked by everyone, faculty and students alike. Assisting the Dean is Dr. Hilda Wells, Di- rector of Students. She is supervisor of the Student Council and of the cheerleaders. Any- one having a problem, educational or personal, visits Dr. Wells for qualified counseling. The student enrollment of MCC now reaches the high peak of 733. Of this number 420 are Moline residents and 313 are non- residents. Breaking this number down even further we find 188 full-time students, 503 part-time students, 34 high school students, and 8 auditing students. Not included are the 62 veterans of whom Mrs. Halliday is at the head. MCC's bubbling office staff headed by Mrs. Halliday forms a strong pillar under our span of helpfulness. Keeping records of grades, ab- sences, and other school documents, they pro- vide for a smoothly running organization. Having over fifty full and part-time teachers, MCC provides the students with a wide selec- tion of courses. Not only are they teachers, they are friends to whom a wayward student can turn for sound advice. Yes, surely MCC is a span of helpfulness. M Al kir- Mrs. Margaret Halliday, in charge of the veterans attending Moline Community College, gives advice to one of the sixty-two veterans, Larry McKnight. Hi it Projects to help students person- ff ,uf 'H ally are often organized as part of I Lili' classroom activities.

A Span of Getting along with other people is an important attribute to anyone, and MCCers get their share of socializing. The many clubs such as the science and business groups, Te-Moc, and the publication staffs provide many oppor- tunities for students who share com- mon interests to meet and express themselves. The Student Council, consisting of five students and supervised by Dr. Hilda Wells, has been of great value to MCC this past year. They were responsible for having the smoker di- vided into two card rooms, for its re- ceiving a new paint job, new furniture, and new machines. They were in charge of the Christmas Tea, and they published the Student Directory, the first in MCC's history. After the Christmas convocation faculty, students, and alumni gath- ered in the lounge where Dr. Wells and the Student Council served punch and holiday cookies. Since this school term began, progress has been an MCC virtue. In addition to enlargement of the main game rooms and the lounge on second floor for all students, we now have a lounge on second floor for women', students only. The Student Council has contributed greatly to the purchasing of new furniture for these rooms. For the hard, steadfast, studious people, the library, headed by Mrs. Theorell, is always a ref- uge. Assisted by three capable students, Daurel Brown, Mary Elizabeth Hawkinson, and Bradley Kint, Mrs. Theorell runs an efficient and well- organized library. New books are continuously being added to its many shelves. A not-so-quiet gathering place is the cafeteria. At all times during the day, one finds groups of students gathered around tables with coffee cups filled to the brim. If one looks closely enough, he'll usually see a teacher or two also. Except during class periods, the gym is another popular gathering place, especially for the more active minded boys. The ping-pong tables located at one end of the gym are kept jumping. Also, the now unbulged', gym floor is filled with rac- ing boys scrambling for the basketball. Intra- mural players can usually be found in this group. Social Enlargement After a gruelling exam, the president of the Stu- dent Council catches forty winks in the Student Lounge. 4 Over a cup of coffee in the cafeteria students ex- change views on current problems and discuss the day's events, W, , . fi XJ! N:-F., New adult education classes, such as this welding class, enable students to prepare themselves for a better life in community and home life. Self-betterment is an impor- tant aspect in every student,s life, and Moline Community College is capably equipped for helping students accomplish this goal. A student learning how to coordinate his body and how to keep in top physical shape can participate in the various college physical education classes. New to MCC this year are the swimming classes sched- uled at the new Senior High School swimming pool. Also new to MCC is the re- cently organized Business Club. Headed by President Jim Blazer, Vice-President Doug Donovan, and Secretary Phil Lowry, this group meets with the purpose of promoting better business relations. Often the club is honored by guest speakers. A Span of Aided by proceeds from the TE-MOC Club shows, the yearbook staff began equipping a much-needed photo lab. The men behind all camera work are Gary VanGoethem and Tom Tunison, both capable in the photography field. Student projects such as the TE-MOC Variety Show, the Beat-nik Ball, and the spring play enable students to express themselves in a personal man- ner, for learning to cooperate and work with fellow students is indeed important. Socially and professionally, MCC has shown a span of im- provement. Mr. Carl Ekblad and Gary VanGoethem observe closely as Mr. Edward Mickey shows them how to use some of the equipment in the new photo lab. One of their most prized possessions is the new enlarger. 10 y Nr, ,wgg ,gg asa-we r ' A l H 5 ' s wffwiyfmilwiiw, W Qi Q to , The sixty-six year old Annex stands complete The basement, once filled with happy, spirited in quiet solitude waiting solemnly for the first students, now stands in shambles.

Unless students leave their homes early, they find it almost im- possible to find a parking space on one of the few side streets. To remedy this situation, the Administration decided that the old Annex, built in 1894, should be razed in order to provide space for a new fac- ulty-student parking lot. Last October, the Board of Educa- cation contracted destruction procedures. Next fall the new parking lot will probably be completed. Piles of debris now surround the ancient, now windowless, building. Broken glass and bricks make student passage hazardous. ..,, VW S 3 5 E S 5 1 Q 'B 5 E S s 1 3 5 3 H 9 a 2 d 4 i E 2 Z 3 3 5 E E 5 2 s E S 5 i Q E Q 5 E I - F1 fldminisfrafian 5 Isl W What Year? The staff and students have worked hard to make this the most important year at MCC. This, for those of us having lived it, was the most important year at Moline Community College because we were able to make use of our own experience as well as the contributions made by those who passed this way in years gone by. The 1960 Galaxy and its theme-A Year at MCC-are synonymous. Events, as they unfolded during the school year 1959-60, were recorded, edited and compiled into one rather comprehensive report - the 1960 Galaxy. The span of time included in the record, one year, was the same as the time required to complete the report. Inspection of the 1960 Galaxy supports the proposition that this was the most important year at MCC. A year at MCC, as recorded in the 1960 Galaxy, represents a great many things. This was the fourteenth year the college had been in operation. Mem- bers of the thirteenth graduating class are listed herein. This was the second year the college had operated in facilities separate and apart from other levels of the Moline School System. This was the year the Annex -built in 1894 -was removed to provide more adequate parking for staff and students. This was the year. But it varied for each member of the staff and student body. This year, as in previous years, the college staff continued to grow in num- bers and stature. Two members of the faculty were awarded scholarships last summer and returned just before classes began last fall. They and other fac- ulty co-operating with members of the secretarial and custodial staff, were largely responsible for the continued growth and success of our college. This was the year two members of the staff, Mr. Wally Anderson, custodian, and Mrs. Margaret Halliday, registrar, retired from service at the college. In 1959-60 more students than ever before were enrolled at MCC. During the fall semester, 992 students registered for classes in the College Division. A greater per cent of those students ranked in the upper fifty, upper twenty- five, or upper ten per cent of their high school graduating class than had been true with previous groups entering the college. A greater per cent of those students earned higher scores on the School and College Ability Test than of previous groups taking the test. This was the year the student body grew in quality as well as in quantity. This indeed with the most important year at MCC. We must remember, however, that nothing is good or bad. All things are better or worse. There- fore, this year's accomplishments can only be used in making a comparison with past years or those ahead. As a representative of the staff of MCC, I challenge you - the administra- tion, the staff, and the student body - to make next year and each succeed- ing year better than this one and thereby the most important year at MCC. -DR. EUGENE MCCLINTOCK, DEAN N, Ill ji fi gfkaf 'f A if M K' T WI., Q DR. EUGENE MCCLINTOCK Dean of Moline Community College Superintendent Davis Administers Policies, Dr. Dwight M. Davis, superintendent of Moline schools, is the leader of the Moline school system. One of his chief concerns is to see that the policies of the Board of Education concerning the Moline Public Schools are carried out. His work as superintendent includes much long range planning. Dr. Davis must constantly be looking ahead to the future needs of everyone connected with the Mo- line schools so that he can guide the Board in their efforts to determine the plans for the future. Dr. Davis began his professional life in Moline as dean of MCC. He served in that position from 1953 to 1955, when he was appointed Superintendent of Schools. Allendale, which is where Dr. Davis has his office, is located near the college. This proximity makes it possible for Dr. Davis and his staff to take an active interest in college affairs. The superintendent is respected by all the students, teachers and other employ- ees of the Moline schools for his efficient leadership in promoting an effective school system. DR. DNVIGHT M. DAVIS Superintendent of the Moline Public Schools The Board of Education members, elected for three-year terms by the citi- zens of Moline, have over-all control in setting up the policies by which the schools function. The power to make all final decisions relative to the system rests with this group. Seated: Dr. Dwight Davis, superintendent of schools, Melvin Reynolds, assistant superintendent and secretary of the board, Stod- dard Small, M. W. Faust, Henry Parsons. Standing: Ralph Johnson, John Morgan, Richard Shrader, Calvin Ainsworth. School Planning of Board of Education The Board of Education of the Moline School system determines the policies for the twenty-five schools in Moline. Included in this number are twenty grade schools, three junior highs, one sen- ior high school, one junior college, and MCC, the only city college in the quint-city area. Mr. M. W. Faust serves as president of the seven-man board. Since he was elected president, he has personalized his position on the board by making visits to all the schools in the Moline area to become better acquainted with the personnel. A wide variety of occupations are represented on the present Board of Education. Mr. Faust is Plant Superintendent of the John Deere Planter Works, Henry W. Parsons is an attorney, Richard V. Shrader is the Station Manager of the United Air Lines, Stoddard J. Small is the President of the Moline Iron Works, Calvin Ainsworth is Resi- dent Manager of Stifel Nicolaus Company Incor- porated, Ralph Johnson is an engineer with the General Electric Company, and John D. Morgan is an official at the Industrial Hardboard Sales Company. The Secretary of the Board of Education is Mel- vin Reynolds. He also serves as Assistant Super- intendent of Schools. Since a state statute allows only seven members on the Board of Education, the Secretary cannot be a member. To function effectively, the board is organized into two committees. The Business Committee is in charge of the financial affairs of the school sys- tem, the Education Group is concerned with prob- lems of curriculum. Members of the board meet every second Tues- day of the month at Allendale without any mone- tary compensation for their services. This year one of their major projects at MCC has been the letting of contracts for the razing of the Annex and converting that area into a parking lot. The Board of Education this year lowered the MCC tuition for non-resident students. The lower rates have been in effect for this past school year. School board members are planning for the growth of MCC in future years. Moline's City college will continue to grow under the guidance of the Board and Dr. Davis. ,,,-1 Dr. Hilda Wells as Director of Student Activi- ties performs innumerable services at MCC. Assisting groups in organizing clubs, directing the Work of the Student Council, determining the eligibility of students for Phi Theta Kappa, and planning commencement activities are among the responsibilities Dr. Wells has in addition to her teaching. At the beginning of each semester she admin- isters the School and College Ability Test used Dr. Wells takes time out from her busy schedule to assist a student in deter- mining whether she is tak- ing the courses required for her program at a four- year school. as a basis in counseling students. In addition to these activities Dr. Wells helps both individuals and firms in placing students in all kinds of Work from custodial and housecleaning jobs to positions in industry and business. This year she helped place more than sixty students. Dr. Wells is also in charge of the student teacher program in the Moline schools. This year she made arrangements for more than one hundred college students in practice teaching. Director of Students Is Busy Person Q ,Av '1!

Western Illinois University, M.A. Community Commerce Club Sponsor Business Education The business department oiiers courses to students who have many different needs. For the person who Wishes to continue toward a four-year degree, such courses as economics, accounting, statistics, and business law may be taken. Courses for the individual who wishes to acquire skills for his personal use or to qualify for a position Or an advancement in his present work include typing, shorthand, and IBM work. Because many members are already em- ployed, a number of the classes meet in the evening as well as during the day. Thus many business students start their day as early as eight in the morning, whereas some of their fellow students may be in class at nine in the evening. Some students have the pleasure of attend- ing class at the new Senior High School in the evening as the Office machines and the Office practice courses use the equipment at the high school. Day classes in typing were organized for the first time this year. Twenty-one new type- writers were purchased for their use.

Consequently more and more importance is being put upon math. Industrial math is a new course here this year. The Work in this class has reference to actual situations found in shop work. Intermediate algebra is planned to bridge the gap between high school and college algebra for the student whose mathematical background is limited, or Whose study of mathematics has been interrupted. Classes in college algebra, plane geometry, ana- lytic geometry, integral calculus, and strength of materials all are offered at MCC.

To introduce the student to the field of ed- ucation MCC ofiers a survey course, Introduc- tion to American Public Education CEduca- tion 1005. In this course a student is made aware of the historical growth and develop- ment of the public school system in the United States. Special attention is given to current opportunities and problems in the field of ed- ucation. In Educational Psychology fPsychology 1025, a study is made of the use of psychology in teaching. The various stages of the devel- opment are considered in relation to the learn- ing process. The course is designed primarily for those persons planning to teach or those presently employed as teachers. Education courses which deal with methods and techniques in the various fields of study are also offered. - In the introductory course in psychology the student studies the scientific background of human behavior. Applied Psychology of- fers the student an opportunity to analyze the many ways in which psychology is used by all the people of the world. Its use in the home, the school, the courtroom, business, in- dustry, and warfare are emphasized. .

Augustana, B.A. Monmouth College, A.B, Augustana College, B.A. University of Southern California, M.A. University of Iowa, MA, Language Arts Each year at MCC students struggle to prove to language instructors that the pen is mightier than the sword. Propelled by the strong winds of self-gratification they set sail on the capricious seas of rhetoric, literature, speech, and foreign language. Rhetoric courses provide ample exercise in modes of written communication emphasizing, as well as composition, vocabulary develop- ment through both direct word study and reading experiences. Writing a research paper keeps the busy student even busier during the second se- mester of rhetoric. Oral communication techniques, fundamen- tal and advanced, are the function of Speech 101 and its big brother, Speech 111. Up on the platform, Project,,' and '4Contact are familiar epithets as all MCCers bow to the muse of speech art. One semester of speech is necessary for graduation from MCC. An increasing variety of student interest and needs has stimulated enrollment in lan- guage electives this year. English and Amer- ican literature, Spanish, technical writing, reading speed and comprehension and journa- lism have continued to enjoy high popularity among our students. Outside novel reading is required in both literature classes. The art of being able to converse in idiomatic Spanish is stressed in the beginning Spanish course. Journalism stu- dents are required to cover news beats around the campus. One day is spent at the Moline Daily Dispatch, the class members going with a Dispatch reporter on his beat. CLARA O.

Social Studies MCC offers a comprehensive and detailed social studies program to meet the ever increasing need of students to learn about the problems of the world in which they live. Social studies courses are offered in three areas: geog- raphy, history, and sociology. Elements of Geography deals with the physical makeup of the World and planetary relations. Introduction to Economic Geography is the study of industrial develop- ment and world trade. These classes are conducted both by lecture and laboratory techniques. In the field of history a variety of courses is offered: History of Western Civilization, American History, Intel- lectual and Political History of the United States, History of England, and Current Problems. Most of these courses carry outside reading and term papers. Sociology is composed of two one semester courses: Introduction or Principles of Sociology and Social Factors in Personality. These courses deal with the factors of human relations in the group and in social behavior. So- cial Factors in Personality treats the problems of leader- ship, the business world, and family life. Here again term papers are required. AX' my CARL EKBLAD Chemistry, Physics iFulI time facultyj Augustana College, A.B. State University of lovva, MA. University of Colorado, Nl.S.

Chemistry includes general chemistry and qualitative anal- ysis, in qualitative analysis and organic chemistry. These courses are designed for students who intend to major in the physical sciences, engineering or related sciences such as agri- culture, dentistry, or medicine. Another briefer course in chemistry is offered for non- physical science majors. A special one semester course in chemistry for students of nursing is also offered. This year all courses offered have been taught and all courses have shown a constant increase in enrollment over past years. The department is Well equipped with the neces- sary apparatus and chemicals to take care of this larger en- rollment. Two courses are offered in physics, one for majors in science and one for non-majors. A briefer course, designed for stu- dents in nursing is also taught. This year an advanced course in general science for elementary and junior high school teach- ers was added to the science curriculum. In addition to lectures and laboratory work, such teaching media as demonstration experiments, film strips, charts, and motion pictures were used in all the science classes. Informal class discussions, library reference work and reports, as well as individual assistance with students' difficulties and prob- lems are also a part of the teaching program. A full time instructor was added this year in the biological sciences bringing the total of full time faculty in the science department to three. Three of the department faculty were awarded scholarships last summer to science institutes for college teachers spon- sored by the National Science Foundation.

Hygiene, which emphasizes health problems of the age group en- rolled, is required ot all undergrad- uates during their first year of resi- dence. The other course, Nutrition Educa- tion Calso classified as educationb, is a study of the fundamental principles of nutrition. Considerable emphasis is given to methods of teaching nutri- tion at the elementary level. A swimming class for men and women was added to the growing phys- ical education program this year. Wil- liam Klier and Lavern Sinclair taught the class. They were assisted by these student helpers: Sophia Heberling, Douglas Bendle, and Kenneth Exline. Classes in golf, archery and gymnastics complete the physical education pro- gram. HUGO BIRKIIAHN THOMAS KIENLE WILLIAM KLIER L.

In the engineering-electronics area courses include Engineering Problems and Slide Rule, Elementary Engineering Problems, Elec- tronic Fundamentals, Vacuum Tubes, Radio Frequency Circuits, Industrial Electronics and Electronic Equipment. Since these Engineering-Electronics courses have a vocabulary all their own, students enrolled in the courses report that much stress is put on learning new words that at first are foreign to them.

A continually increasing number of students have been using the library facilitiesg consequently it has been nec- essary for the library to remain open for longer hours than in previous years. This year the library has been open on Monday through Thursday from 9 A.M. to 8 P. M.g on Friday from 8 A. M. to 5 P. M. Administering the library during these long hours has been the responsi- bility of Mrs. Viola Theorell, librarian. She has been assisted by Daurel Brown, Maryelizabeth Hawkinson, and Bradley Kint, student assistants. Mrs. Theorell and the faculty are planning ahead for the enlargement of the library. Each year many addi- tional volumes for reference and circu- lation are added. The three library assist- ants gather around the li- brarian as she explains the new multiple record sys- tem inaugurated this year. Seated are Daurel Brown and Mrs, Theorellg stand- ing are Maryelizabeth Hawkinson and Bradley Kint. ,pm-.K X Library Grows In Size and Popularity .1 A school library can be a second home for the conscientious student. Such is the case at MCC. The library is a boon to those seeking help beyond the textbook in their quest for knowl- edge. Begun in September, 1958, the li- brary now has on its shelves over eighteen hundred catalogued circulat- ing volumes and reference books. Forty magazines and newspapers are sub- scribed to or received as gifts. This year a rack of paperbacks with titles of special interest to the college student was added on an experimental basis. The paperbacks are sold to the interested student. Catalogued also is a collection of 181 records purchased primarily for the music classes. A phonograph with five sets of earphones is available for listening. VIOLA F.

In addition to her work as book store manager, Mrs Greenwood at the beginning of each term mails to prospective students brochures describing courses and class schedules She also assists Miss Lela Adams, Adult Education Homemaking Supervisor, on matters concerning these classes. She takes registrations and keeps the records for all the Adult Education classes Mrs. Greenwood sells a book to Tom Sheridan as Darrell Moore waits his turn to purchase textbooks and supplies in the book store.

However, several organizations will be losing members who were instrumental in their founding. Among these are Wayne Greenwood, president of the Student Coun- cil and of the college drama club, T e-Moc. The latter organi- zation, now in its second year, will see its entire slate of officers enter the world outside of MCC on June 3. The recently organized Community Commerce Club will also have the fate of losing its first president, Allen Larsen. May these clubs and others continue to prosper in the hands of those students who will be their leaders tomorrow. Graduates in general seem to have made definite decisions concerning their future. While statistics gathered in a re- cent poll indicate that business majors constitute the greatest percentage of courses followed, business ranks third in choice of life's work. Teaching and various professional occupations rank above business in the decision of what the graduates will be doing in the next few years. Most occupations are divided quite evenly between men and women. The business Held, however, boasts only one young woman against several potential businessmen. Individualists in the class have chosen careers far removed from the general rule followed by their classmates. Among the lifeis work chosen by these people are work as an FBI agent, a minister, a clinical psychologist, and a journalist. Whatever these graduates may do in the future, and wherever their duties may lead them, we wish them well. The training received at MCC will long be remembered as they wend their way along life's paths- graduates of MCC. MCC Adds Two School Songs Two school songs were written for MCC this year. Mr. Richard Keeley, English instructor wrote the lyrics and Dr Frederick Swanson, music director, composed the music. These songs were introduced to the students at the convocation November 20.

It was written as a composition assignment in Mr. Richard Keeleys English 102 class. In Passing She stands alert and indefatigable on her narrow ledge on the side of the verdant hill, almost encircled by a multitude of towering, lush green trees. The crest of the hill rises steeply behind her. The path leading upward is strewn with obstacles almost impassable but for her guidance and encouragement. She seems to be beckoning, calling to everyone within the scope of her gaze, her eyes holding out the promise of aid and direction. Her sun-Hecked, weathered face creased with the lines of age radiates her boundless wisdom and enthusiasm. The years have taken their toll but her straight back and firm shoulders suggest and give a hint to the youthful vigor permeating her veins. She continues to grow in stature because of her children, and they are many. She has naught but this - her plot of earth. She has never ven- tured further. Through the eyes of her children, she has seen the world, seen the enchanted romantic places: Paris, Bombay, San Francisco, Bali, Copenhagen. With them she has flown across continents, sailed all the seas and climbed lofty mountains. As her children establish their homes in these far distant parts of the world, a part of her remains with them. There, the knowledge and wisdom which she has bestowed upon them will abide and radiate. She has always been happiest when nourishing and caring for her young. She has a sereness of manner that has come through her success with her young ones. Life has not always been easy for her. Trouble has visited her at times. Wars and diseases have taken their toll on her brood. Always persevering, she has done her best, coaxing, meting out punishment when necessary, but always loving and cherishing each one in turn as he deserved. Grandchildren are now her pride and task. Tenderly and compas- sionately she bestows her knowledge and wisdom upon them as they come to her. She sets them right on the path, showing the way, bidding each to do his share to the utmost. She stimulates their imaginations and solicits their inquiries into the new and unexplored. Fatigue and exhaustion she shrugs away, devoting herself to her altruistic aims with abundant, never flagging energy. We who have reached the crest of the hill above her are fortunate. Hesitant to face the new world now revealed ahead, we look back at her for guidance. With grace borne of dignity and pride, she waves us on, wishing us good luck and God speed. Then she turns away to reach for the next in line. As we start ahead, a wind sweeps down from the sky, scurrying along brushing the tree tops aside, there she is again at her task: Our School-MCC! Elected to membership this year in the Eta Kappa Chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, national junior college honorary society, were twenty- eight students. Thirteen of these are members of the graduating class. Twenty-eight Elected to Phz Theta Kappa To become eligible for election a student must meet these requirements: He must have completed at least one semester in the college divisiong must be of good moral character and possess recognized qualities of citizenship as judged by the faculty, must be at the time of election within the upper scholastic ten per cent of the regular student body, and he must have at least a B grade average. Phi Theta Kappa is the most exclusive club at MCC because of the specific requirements which must be met before election. We con- gratulate these students on their achievement in gaining this honor. Pictured on the opposite page are the stu- dents elected to Phi Theta Kappa this year. Members of the graduating class are shown in the first two rows in their caps and gowns, the undergraduates appear in the pictures at the bottom of the page. In 1950 Moline Community College was granted the privilege of organizing a chapter of this national honor society, the chapter to be known as the Eta Kappa Chapter. That year six graduates were elected to membership. This year with twenty-eight students elec- ted, a new record was set, for this number is the largest to be elected in a given year to Phi Theta Kappa in the history of Moline Com- munity College. In 1958 fifteen students were elected, the second highest number of initi- ates in one year. Recognition was given to the twenty-eight members awarded membership this year at the Recognition Dinner held May 12 in the college cafeteria. In addition to recognizing scholarship, the dinner honored those who had helped in promoting such activities as athletics, clubs, publications and dramatics. At this first banquet Mr. Jack Sundine, editor and publisher of the Moline Daily Dis- patch, was the guest speaker.

These girls receive twenty hours of college credit which may be transferred to four-year schools toward a bachelor's degree as well as applied toward the R.N. degree. Twenty-four girls from the hospital enrolled in psychology, sociology, the physical and the biological sciences. Dr. Hilda Wells, Mr. Carl Ekblad, and Mr. Edward Mickey are the instructors. Although all the classes were held at the hospital until last year when a few began meeting on the college campus, this year all have met here except those in the biological sciences. Mr. Mickey teaches anatomy, physi- ology, and microbiology at the hospital.

Science Courses Enroll Palmer Students Busy is an adjective that aptly describes the Palmer School of Chiropractic students that attend MCC. Most of these students take a full course of study at Palmer, work at least part time on jobs to help pay their expenses, and still manage to cross the river to take courses at MCC. When the Palmer School learned in 1952 that the various state examining boards required too extensive a program to be included in their class day, they looked to MCC as the accredited college to supply these extra courses. Through mutual plans of study, courses in physics, chemistry, and biology have been established at MCC to meet the specific requirements of the Palmer School. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and West Virginia are among the states that require these additional courses before the chiropractic student is allowed to practice. Students from Palmer represent varied backgrounds. An ex-drug salesman, a former social studies teacher, and a few youths fresh from high school are among those found in the group commuting from the Iowa school. Palmer students come from all parts of the country. There is nothing stereotyped about their ages or physical makeup, however most of the stu- dents have been out of high school for several years, Mr. Carl Ekblad, Mr. Harold Willard, and Mr. Edward Mickey, MCC science teachers, are in charge of the classes that the future chiropractors attend here.

Mrs, Gordon is an art and home economics major from the State University of Iowa, where she earned a B.A. degree. Husbands, do you want to cut down on ex- penses? If you do, you should enroll your wife in one of MCC's Household Arts and Crafts classes. These classes are money savers, for here the members learn how to make many useful and decorative articles as well as how to utilize materials often considered scraps Several looms are used in weaving handbags, towels, and rugs. Some of the women use new materials for their rugs, others make strips from cast-off clothing. One member wove a soft, Huffy white bathroom rug from an old, tufted, white bedspread. Aprons, table decorations, fancy candles, accessories for dolls and doll houses, artificial flowers and similar articles are fashioned by the women in the class, each choosing her own project. Three eleven-week classes were organ- ized this year. The Christmas workshop, held only in the fall, is a popular course with the Women in this area. Three sections were held last fall. After weekly demonstrations and suggestions, the women decide on their projects. Original- ity is stressed. Modern nativity pictures made from felt, Christmas tree skirts, and toys are among the projects chosen. Mrs. Gordon Instructs Crafts, Workshop N' 5 One of the members of the Christ- Cs... mas Workshop class displays her . felt Hpaintingf' Using colored felt, she has designed a scene represen- t3t1V9 of a Biblical Christmas set- ting with Mary on a donkey led by Joseph on their way to Bethlehem. The painting which has been framed will be hung on the wall during the holiday season. Women have many reasons for joining the millinery classes, declared Miss Lela Adams, head of the home economics department. 'fMiss Bernine of Chicago, or 'Melba' as she is called, a resident of Chicago, comes every week to teach the classes. Three different millinery classes each meet for ten weeks. All of the classes are limited to fourteen. Melba both demonstrates how the work is done and assists the members in choos- ing styles, materials and decorations. There can be no set laws in millineryj, pointed out Miss Adams, because everyone is working on something different. From the materials that Melba brings with her, the class members choose frames, materi- als, and trimmings. The average Woman makes four or five hats during the course. Many women take this course because they like to create finished products of their own or because they have an uncommon head size. Others have difficulty in buying a hat to suit a certain ensemble. If they wish to match a specific suit or dress, they make their own. Although the course is not one for profes- sional milliners, many of the Women make hats for their friends and relatives. Pooling their efforts in fashioning a hat are several class members. They also created and styled the hats they are Wearing. Miss Bernine of Chicago Teaches M illinery 2 Miss Bernine Ccenterj, the milli- nery instructor, passes judgment on the angle of the trimming on a hat being created by one class member while another waits her turn for HMelba's advice. Mrs. Sarver Teaches Dressmaking Techniques Mrs. Ruby Sarver, extreme left. instructor in the dressmaking techniques, is showing her students how to lay out a pattern, Three members of the dressmaking course are busy choosing a pattern, pressing, and putting the finishing stitches into a new little dress. Classes in Dressmaking Techniques 1, 2, and 3 are popular courses of- fered in the Adult Education division. The dressmaking courses appeal to the Woman who is interested in mak- ing clothing for herself or for her family. Individual attention is given to the specific problems of the class mem- bers. All of the women are encouraged to try to express their own personal- ities in their clothesmaking projects. As in all the MCC special classes, a variety of interest is found in these classes also. A typical class may in- clude the young woman who wants to look chic, but who is on a strict budgetg the older woman who does not want to wear the stereotyped clothing associated with women her ageg and the career woman to whom an attractive appearance means her livelihood. Some make clothing for their familiesg shirts and pajamas for the men and boysg dresses for the girls. Mrs. Ruby Sarver and Mrs. Helen McMinn are the instructors in the Dressmaking Techniques Classes. .11 Mr. Leman Explains Upholstering Processes Both men and women enroll in the upholstering classes, many of whom are married couples working on the same project. Two eleven-week classes are offered each semester, the members meeting from 7 to 10 on Mondays and Tues- day evenings. As each one registered for the class works on his own indi- vidual project-usually a chair that needs upholstering - the class is lim- ited to thirteen to allow enough room in the classroom for both the members and their projects and to give the in- structor an opportunity to work with each member. Occasionally a class member brings a davenport. In that case he works on it in the hall. Mr. Harry Leman of Rock Island, who has taught the classes for sev- eral years, also teaches such groups in Rock Island. He helps the members choose materials, demonstrates how springs should be tied, how padding is inserted, and how the new covers are made. Xxx Mr. Leman, third from left, instructor, shows the students a variety of materials to choose from for upholsterlng their chairs. Two members of the class look on as -their class- mate demonstrates her skill at giving an old chair the new lookf' Typing, Shorthand Aid In Advancement Mr. Mitchell, standing, explains the mechanical operations of the typewriter to two of the students in his class. Mrs. Hoff, seated, explains some of the techniques and sym- bols used in shorthand. 'Ir The intermediate typing class, under the direction of Edward M. Mitchell, meets every Monday and Wednesday from 5:30 to 7 P. M. Preceded by the basic course, the intermediate course prepares the student for the advanced class in typing. Among the college and adult stu- dents enrolled are some high school students who are either obtaining credit for graduation from high school or college credit. Those interested in any of these categories find this class an excellent source for learning these skills as well as earning extra credits. Beginning shorthand as part of the Business Education program .is also taught for adults on a non-credit basis. Mrs. Annell Hoff is the instructor. The class meets for sixteen weeks on Tues- day and Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 7. The students learn the basic prin- ciples of shorthand and the different symbols connected with it. After learn- ing to take dictation in shorthand, the members of the class are in a position to apply for a job that pays a higher salary than those available to students without this skill. Auto Driving, Testing Classes Offered Training in auto driving for adults is offered in a non-credit course. To register, the student must first get a driving permit. Instruction, which is given after 4 p. m. or on weekends, is on the individual basis, the time being arranged between the instructor and the student. Before getting behind the wheel of the car, the student first studies a handbook on the rules of the road. After he has mastered the rules, he learns the fundamentals of driving step by step. Five hours' practice in dual control automobile acquaints the students with the actual driving. Skill and safety are only a few of the prime fac- tors taught to students studying for their drivers' license. Mr. Clifford Hyink, an instructor at Moline Senior High School, is in charge of the course. The vocational testing course, set up under the Adult Education pro- gram, is taught by Dr. Renate Arm- strong, chief psychologist at the East Moline State Hospital. Because choosing a vocation is one of life's most important decisions, stu- dents enroll in this course. Here they learn what work they can do well and what Work they like. Dr. Armstrong administers, scores, and interprets personality, intelligence, vocational interest, and vocational ap- titude tests given to the class mem- bers in group sessions and in private interviews. 5, trauma am gg, Mr. Hyink, instructor in auto-driving, and student prepare for a lesson on the road. Dr. Renate Armstrong, instructor, explains the different tests to two students. Pu. Blueprinting classes in both the metal and building trades are offered. The purpose of the course is to teach all the basic information necessary to interpret a blueprint. In the metal trades class members learn the alphabet of lines, shop arith- metic, methods of projection, relation- ship of views, and an understanding of dimensions. The course in architectural blue- print develops skills in such essentials as visualization, architectural symbols, mathematics necessary to calculate areas, cubage, dimensions and other simple calculations, floor plans, eleva- tions, and details. Students are men who are either beginners or who have some drafting background. The courses are prepared to fit individual needs. Mr. Leslie Coo-per, right, discusses blueprlnting with two of his students. CC Courses in Automotive Transmissions provide those enrolled an opportunity to learn the theory and actually work on all types of automo- tive transmissions. During the spring semester the students enrolled in the class met for ten Weeks in the modern shop at the Senior High School. Mr. Neil Hoover instructed the group. Mr. Hoover, right, the ' class instructor, explains the techniques of taking apart an automotive trans- mission. 1.25241 t pf .LTVV-T.'

Classes were organized last fall and instruction is given in the college building and at Senior High School. In the cur- riculum are a total of nineteen courses concerning the tech- niques of welding and indus- try, ranging from the funda- mentals of welding to the in- troduction of industrial man- agement. Advisory committee for the program includes executives in area industries. These are not space men, but members of the weld- ing class. They work in the new welding depart- ment in the area under the dean's office. State Board Approves Welding Classes The apprentice and journeyman training program . unit' at MCC was expanded this year as the Board of .Y s Trustees of the International Training Fund allowed ff ' 316,000 for expansion.

Student Council Publishes Directory Elected to this year's Student Council, the college's governing body, were five students: Wayne Greenwood, Gerald Fiagle, Bonnie Cur- less, Gail Kirkpatrick, representing the nurses, and Jim Scott. At their Hrst meeting these officers were elected: Wayne, president, Ger- ald, vice-president, and Bonnie, secretary. This group, according to their sponsor, Dr. Hilda Wells, acts as a central planning com- mittee and a student-faculty grievance board. At the conference of the Illinois Association of Junior Colleges, which met at Lincoln Col- lege in Lincoln on October 24, MCC headed the discussion on Social Activities, Wayne serving as moderator and Bonnie as secre- tary. In addition to the Council members and their sponsor, these students attended: Ken Province, Darrell Moore, and Paul Ross. Chief among their many projects this year was the publishing of the MCC Student Direc- tory, the first such handbook at MCC. Gerald Fiagle headed the publishing committee. Decorating the attractive Christmas tree, which the Student Council purchased, are Anita Beck, John Timson, Suzy King, Ann Mattison, Joan Guthrie, and President Wayne Greenwood.

Holds Holiday Tea, Buys Rec Room F urnzture To add a colorful note to the holi- day season, the Council purchased and decorated a Christmas tree, which they placed in the hall in front of the auditorium. To climax the holiday con- vocation held December 18, the Coun- cil sponsored an open house and tea in the student lounge after the pro- gram. All students, friends, relatives, and alumni were invited. As a money raising project, the Council this year took over the con- cession machines in the recreation lounge. With the proceeds they pur- chased twenty-five captains chairs, two round tables, and several coat racks for the game room. They also furnished a women's lounge on second floor, just south of the library. Furnishings include chairs, a sofa, a roll-away bed, a table and lamps.

Greenwood Emcees Second Annual TE- OC Dancing climaxed the 1960 TE-MOC show, the second presentation of this annual affair. All who purchased tickets for the show were invited to the dance held in the gym. This feature was an added attraction this year. With Wayne Greenwood as the emcee the spectators were awed as the curtain rose upon the beautiful and colorful background against which Enrique Oliveros and Maria Meyers, wearing yellow and red satin costumes, danced in the Latin American manner. In a second act they presented Ballet Toro. Rodney Swanson and Loveonna Northcutt presented a tap dance in one act and Steam Heat in another. Their perfect timing and the pro- fessional effect of their numbers were ,enjoyed by the audience. Entertaining with vocal numbers were John Miller, Anita Beck, and the trio-Rita Sovey, Kathleen Thompson and Anita Beck. In jeans and strawhats they sang selections from Oklahoma Paul Ross in his true to life delineation of Burl Ives presented epigrammatic bits to be placed in the corner stone for posterity. Such travesties as Peter Gunn , the Beat- niks, the Keys, Waiting for Santy, The Doctoris Office, the Beauty Contest Cmales dressed as beautiful womenj, and Expresso '59 completed the hilarious show.

Special effects, commandeered by Gary Grohman, gave the stage an eerie perspective, and the bats flying about appeared to be in their natural habitat. Howls of wailing wolves increased the excitement and shudders of the audience. Wayne Greenwood as the ominous, suave Count Dracula, evoked thrills as he seemingly appeared out of thin air. Paul Ross' skillful portrayal of Dr. Van Helsing had the audience with him all the way as he attempted to an- nihilate the elusive Dracula. The parts of Lucy, the mysteriously anemic young girl in the clutches of the vampire, and her romantic young fiancee, Jonathan Harker, were played by Rita Sovey and Mike Schnell, respectively. Lucy's father, Dr. Seward was portrayed effectively by Dave Phelps. The antics of Art Bailey as the mad inmate of the sanitorium held the audience in con- vulsive laughter with his erratic capers and his dialogue about a diet of spiders and fiies. Suzy King as the coy young maid and John Miller enacting the role of the attendant pro- vided a light touch to the melodrama. An added attraction to the play was a scene written by Mr. Keeley which featured Shirley Lear, Joyce Pfeifer, Anita Back, John Cook- lin, and Ken Fields.

The members met twice a week for two hours of rehears- als. Dr. Frederick Swanson directed the groups. The first public appearance was the beautiful performance presented at the Christmas convocation. Dressed in black robes, the choir sang a varied group of Christmas selections for the students and faculty. The simple Come to the Stable and the regal Oh, Holy Night were highlights of this diversified program. Arranged according to voices before the stage, the choir made an inspiring picture.

Science Club Hears Talks on Space Age Topics 'Nur '4Get set! Ready? Smile! was often heard after the Science Club had set up and equipped the photography lab- oratory on third fioor. With President Gary Van Goethem heading the proj- ect, the committee bought over one hundred dollars worth of equipment such as a contact printer, dryer, timer, chemicals and trays. Assisting Gary were Bob Van Raes and Tom Tunison. Mr. Edward Mickey, science teacher, loaned his camera and enlarger to the project. Many of the pictures in this book were taken by Gary and developed in the photo lab. Funds for the project came from the proceeds of last year's and this year's TE-MOC productions.

S535 ft 2 Qui: .11 To Meet Deadlines Students often wonder just what hap- pens at the west end of the second floor on alternate Thursdays. The morning murmur becomes an in- creasing hubbub as the day wears on. Typewriters bang, excitement mounts, and a voice tinged with hysteria is occasionally heard. The fruits of that little drama will be realized the following Wednesday when another issue of the MCC Comet will be available to college students and staff. Organized in October, 1958, the Comet has met with a few surprises. The first was its increasing popularity. Another was the winning last year of First Class Hon- ors in the critical service of the Associated Collegiate Press at the University of Min- nesota. The staff was complimented on its extensive news coverage, good quality of writing, and the imaginative makeup. .fir A Reading galleys and checking page proofs at the printers are f Rita Sovey, editorg Gerald Fia- gle, Brad Kint, Anita Beck, and Don Cronau, page editors. or ACP First Class Honors Newspaper The fall semester issues of the Comet were pub- lished by a staff of thirteen headed by Anne Love- joy, editor.

Galaxy Staff Provides Equipment For New Nw .W-'- ,Q--'lit Staff members, Joyce Pfeifer, Gary Van Goethem, and Shir- ley Lear study a page plan with layout manager, Peggy Helstrom. Learning to bleed and Hcropn pic- tures, to arrange photos, and white space on two facing pages or spread in an artistic fashion, to write spar- kling copy and lively heads, and to solicit advertising are only a few of the problems that faced the 1960 Gal- axy staff. Chief among the innovations this year was the equipping and organiz- ing of the photo lab, a project which helped the staff in getting photos de- veloped quickly and inexpensively. With this new lab and the camera which Mr. Edward Mickey, science teacher, allowed the staff to use, the Galaxy was able to print more in- formal pictures than last year. Re- sponsible for equipping the laboratory, taking pictures, and printing and en- larging them was Gary Van Goethem. Funds to pay for this work came from the proceeds of the TE-MOC shows. ,Y 'tin . t t , tx K Choosing the theme, A Year At MCC are these section editors: Rita Sovey, John Miller, Don Cronau, Susy King, and Tom Rowley.

R. E. NUQUIST IJCAA Representative MR. TOM KIENLE Basketball Coach MCC Sports Adds Intramurals Interest in sports has taken a great leap forward during this year. This interest has not just been a passing interest, but a very active one. Physical education classes gave the students an opportunity to participate in sports such as basketball, volleyball, gymnastics, golf, and archery. An intramural league, organized during the fall se- mester, attracted students interested in basketball. OfHcers were elected, captains were appointed, teams were chosen, and schedules were drawn up for play. Results of all games were posted on the bulletin board above the gym in the hall on the first floor. For those who wished to compete on an intercollegiate level, two sports were offered, basketball and baseball. To guide these activ- ities - intercollegiate, intramural, and PE - were six members of the MCC faculty and coaching staff. Three of these members are or were coaches for MCC in basketball and baseball. These three are Thomas Kienle, Archie Swanson, and Ray Smith. The two present mentors are Mr. Kienle in basketball and Mr. Swanson in baseball. The other three, Ted Urban, Hugo Birkhahn, and Robert Nuquist are instructors at MCC. Mr. Urban conducts two classes in archery, Mr. Nuquist is a teacher of history and economics, and Mr. Birk- hahn has charge of classes in golf. Mr. Nuquist, the faculty repre- sentative to the Illinois Junior College Athletic Association, was also the president of the IJ CAA this year. These six coaches and instructors have served MCC by guiding MCC teams, working with PE classes, sponsoring intramural activ- ities, and representing MCC at meetings of the IJCAA during the past year, and have done their best to promote an interest in sports during all their time spent with MCC. It is because of these men and the students interested in sports that sports participation and interest increased in the 1959-1960 season. MR. ARCHLE SWANSON MR. RAY SMITH MR. TED URBAN MR.

Director Archery Instructor Golf Instructor Cheerleaders Teach School New Song, Yells For the second straight year, the Moline Commun- ity College Comets have been cheered on by a group of girls who serve as MCC's ambassadors of good will and who fire the loyalty of the fans. At the beginning of the fall semester, Dr. Hilda Wells sent out a call for girls to fill the vacancies left by Danielle Bebber, Beverly Vincent, Julie Bennent and Nadine Bosanac, last year's cheerleaders. From the applications, Dr. Wells chose these four girls: Shirley Lear, Bonnie Curless, Loveonna North- cutt, and Linda Schaeffer. Linda, a student nurse at Moline Public Hospital, had to drop out because of conflicting schedules. The girls appeared at all the home games and at many of those played away. They helped to arouse enthusiasm at the games. Their cheerleading outfits consisted of sweaters and skirts of black with a gold megaphone emblaz- oned across the front of the sweaters. The word Comets was printed on the megaphone. Bobby sox and white sneakers completed their outfits. The girls also started some new cheers, among these were Click-Clap, and Stamp-Clap. They also led the students in singing MCC's new fight song at the games. Here are this year's cheerleaders, left to right, Bonnie Curless, Loveonna Northcutt, and Shirley Lear. The girls' pretty smiles shine out again as they pull the Com- ets on to victory. Coach Tom Kienle huddles with his returning lettermen before sending them into action.

Four Letter Winners Lead Comet Cagers Spearheaded by four returning lettcrmen, the Moline Community College Comets, under the direc- tion of Coach Tom Kienle, who has completed his seventh year of coaching here, sought to retain the title of Champion,' in both the Mississippi Valley and Illinois Junior College conferences. In addition to the veterans, MCC was buoyed by a promising influx of freshmen. Freshman forwards, Ray Hamilton and Jim Heald, provided a good deal of the scoring punch that was needed when Ron Sergeant, John Ward and Lee Sandler were lost by graduation. The Comets opened the year at Clinton where they absorbed a 64-59 defeat at the hands of the Huskers.

Kienle's cagers then returned home to battle Keokuk J C, a game in which they proved to be more successful as the Comets dropped the lads from down-river by a score of 70-60. In their next outing, the Comets opposed the Spartans of Elgin. A balanced scoring attack and tight defense was too much for the Spartans as the MCC cage crew rode roughshod over them to the score of 89-36. A three-game losing streak then plagued the Comets as the Kienle- men fell before the Apaches of LaSalle by a 90 to 70 count, lost in an overtime to Thornton by a tally of 62 to 58, and dropped a heart- breaker to Burlington as they garnered 71 counters to the Black- hawk's 73. An encounter with Wright of Chicago was next on the tab for the Comets, a contest which proved to be a real cliff-hanger as Bob Ortiz showed that the legendary Frank Merriwell had nothing on him. Bob swished a long set shot in the last second of an overtime to help pull the Comets through to a 77-75 victory. 82 l Jim Heald goes up for a rebound as Bob Bebber and Ray Hamilton look on.

Revenge was the task of our cagers as they defeated Clinton by a 77 to 60 count. The Comets won two of their following three encounters, sinking the Blackhawks of Burlington, 86 to 73, thereby gain- ing revenge for an earlier defeat, the Indians of Muscatine made it two straight over the Comets as they bested the locals, this time with a 79 to 65 win. Ray Hamilton provided the winning margin in the Morton game as he tipped in a basket with four seconds remaining to give the Comets the victory, 77 to 76. After four losses to the Normal tB' squad, Joliet JC, Crane of Chicago, and the Bradley frosh squad, the Comets came back to top Wilson JC, the nation's top rated JC quintet. with a 73 to 69 upset victory. However, the Comets' magic tailed in the Region IV play- 5:96197 offs as they dropped a 79 to 64 decision to the Wilson crew.

Left to right, they are Don Martel, Cap- tain John Sandler, Bill Dusek, Wayne Greenwood, and Jim Hooven. Mugwumps Win I-Ms This year marked another first in the history of the social program of Moline Community. The past year was the initial term in which a program of intramurals has been pursued. During the first semester, many students expressed an interest in organizing an intramural basketball league for those who did not participate on the varsity squad. After a series of meetings which determined how many men were interested, officers of the new league were elected. The men voted to head up this new organization were Ron Bordwine, president, Bob Harmon, vice- presidentg and Wayne Gustafson, secretary-treasurer. The program was under the supervision of Mr. Ray Smith. A bridge tournament was held sec- ond semester, and the top two pairs to come out of this action were Fred Timmerman-Jim Kimmel and Ron Young-Tom Harbottle. Not forgetting the females, the I-M league also organized the Coed Vol- leyball League, which was overseen by Mr. Van White. In all, it has been an extremely busy and rewarding year for the officers and participants of MCC's first intramural program. Looks like a nice hand, Wayne! Wayne Gustafson and Ron Young square off against Jim Kimmel and Fred Timmerman in the bridge tourney. Some of the colorful names under which the various teams played included Mugwumps, Bandits, Kats, Falstaff Five, and some other equally zany titles. In actual league competition, John Sand- ler's club, the Mugwumps, proved to be su- preme as they went through the round robin schedule with a seven wins and no losses. The Mugwumps also won the playoff tournament by defeating Gary Jensen's Bowers, 46 to 39. Although the basketball program made up a major portion of the intramural activities, there were other I-M sponsored activities. hu... Another precedent this year was set in the physical educa- tion department, with swim- ming being added as a PE elective. Classes were held at Moline High Schoolls George Seneff pool. The class was taught by Bill Klier, Spence Sinclair and student assistants, Sophia Heberling, Ken Exline, and Doug Bendle. Response to the new course was so great that the class had to be divided into two sections. Returning for his fifth year as golf instructor was Mr. Hugo Birkhahn. Coming back again, also, was Mr. Ted Ur- ban to instruct classes in arch- ery. Mr. Ted Urban seems to approve of the scores of Margaret Wilt and Betty Nelson. Golf Team, Swimming Class Added To Program Mr. Birkhahn, in addition to instructing classes, organized a golf team which practiced at Indian Bluff golf course. Among the members of the squad were Brad Kint, Carl Gravitt, Craig Gober, and Larry J agnow. Mr. Urban stressed relaxa- tion and concentration as two important requirements of a good archer. He pointed out that no one is a William Tell when he completes the course. Sophia Heberling shows the correct stroke to stu- dent instructor Ken Ex- line and pupils Josephine Scott and Don Cronau. For the second year, Mr. Ray Smith instructed Moline Community Co1lege's classes in physical education. Under his competent direction, many men improved their physical condition. The first semester saw a pro- gram of basketball and volley- ball practiced in the two gym classesg and in the second se- mester the basketball program was dropped and replaced by gymnastics. The instruction in volleyball continued through the second semester. Work in gymnastics included trampo- line, horizontal bar, and tum- bling. Some students used the gym for self-taught courses in weight-lifting and physical fit- ness. Jerry Fiagle looks on as Gary VanGoethem and Brad Kint work out with the weights. Gymnastics, Weight-Lifting H ightlight PE Among the most frequent visitors in the gym to use the weights were Gary VanGoe- them, and Jerry Fiagle. These two men, along with Jim Schultz, attributed their fine physical fitness to their impro- vised program with the weight- lifting equipment. This is the second year that Mr. Smith has taught organ- ized physical education classes at Moline Community. No out- door activities were possible because of the restricted space available. The physical education class engages in a game of volleyball. Outszde Practzces By Dzamond Men Delayed Baseball season came late this year, due to the cold and snowy conditions. Coach Archie Swanson looked for- ward to the season with optimism as he had a promising group of players working out in the gym.

Every individual regardless of race, creed, color or national origin, shall have the opportunity to develop his or her best self, to continue appropriate education up to his or her point of optimum development. . . ., Forty-five per cent of all youth of college age possess at least the academic ability which is required to complete the first two years of college and 3272, possess the potential to complete requirements for a college degree. The college offers instruction in three areas in an attempt to provide ap- propriate post high school education for members of our college community: 0 Curricula in the University Parallel Division are designed to provide the course work necessary for the first two years of a liberal arts program of study. A student receives an Associate in Arts degree upon completion of the two year course of study and may transfer to a four year college or university as a first term junior. 0 The Technical and Terminal Division of the college exists to provide appropriate education for those in need of training beyond high school who do not anticipate completing a professional program of study. Careers in skilled crafts, technical fields, etc. all require training beyond high school. 0 Instruction in the Adult Division is offered to assist individuals to im- prove in terms of social development, job performance and cultural under- standing.

PROGRESS THROUGH EDUCATION THE EMPHASIS on the importance of education is many times greater today than at any time in the history of America. With the advent of rockets, missiles, satellites, atomic power and jet air travel, we are acutely aware of the need of staying abreast of scientific develop- ments. Moline Community College is playing a very important role in making available the instructors and facilities to further the education of many of our citizens who wish to avail themselves of this opportunity. We at the Herman Nelson Division of the American Air Filter Company extend our best wishes for the continued growth and success of this fine institu- tion. Our Congratulations to the Class of l960 And an invitation to all Engineering Graduates to inquire about the excellent opportunities at EAGLE SIGNAL COMPANY MOLINE. ILLINOIS Congratulations fo the Class of 1960 SCHULTZ STUDIOS MOLINE. ILLINOIS For centuries, all sculptured works had smooth, polished surfaces, Then Rodin, creator of The Thinker, departed from tradition to introduce a new, rough-hewn look, which soon was universally accepted. In daring to do this, Rodin displayed that kind of courage and creativity for which society always has great need. While Wagners Printers enthusiastically congratulate all 1960 graduates and wish them well, we have a special pat on the back for those few who will dare to be creative. These are the men and Women who will make our world move forward. ll 71675-PRINTERS TYPUGRAPHERS - LITHOGRAPHERS DAVENPUIIT IUWA - CEDAR RAPIDS IUWA e N-'I I 1883 ALWAYS uo1f5A 541.

Johnson w New . HE final echo of the old school bell signals far more thanjust the end of four years of diligent study. lt is a fanfare, heralding an altogether new life in a colnpetitive and demanding adult world. The school has done a big job conditioning young minds for this moment. And, properly, these ininds are eagerly receptive to the chal- lenge. But there's more required than a inental reservoir of facts and figures and a willingness to apply them in a practical way. There is another item that is every bit as im- portant or perhaps more so. It is the human heart. For, it Il1llSt still be acknowledged that it is the heart that can direct these other attributes in such a way as to add to nlcre immaterial success the quality of satisfaction-a quality that comes froin using knowledge and wisdom and skill not only to iniprove oneself but to make a better world for all who dwell in it. Rightfully, then, it's proper to pause here and ask oneself, g'Whither goest thou'f', And then to choose the way that invites this unbeatable part- nership of mind and heart.
