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.

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. In a speech class students' voices are taped then played back so that the students can note the weaknesses of their own voices. Eugene Norris, Mary- elizabeth Hawkinson, and Art Bailey listen as Mr. Richard Keeley, instructor, plays back the voices.

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, , .
