A Bridge to Better Living 1 7 gets? T9 E What is a bridge? 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.

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
