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, , .

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.

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.

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
