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

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, , .

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
