it ffsiwft' ig Director of Students DR. HILDA WELLS Director of Stndezztr Mrs. Dorothy Kramer, registrar, dupli- cates a transaction on the Thermofax copying machine. Not only does she take charge of sending and receiving tran- scripts, but she also manages the dean's correspondence. Acting as a liaison between various groups, Dr. Hilda Wells is Director of Student Activities at MCC. At times Dr. Wells is the contact between the stu- dents and the faculty as a group. When pupils wish to organize a club, she performs this function. As an advisor to the Student Council, she helps organize the Council and aids them in their work. At other times, Dr. Wells acts as an intermediary between local business and the student body. She attempts to match pupils wanting work with suitable employers. This year alone Dr. Wells found positions for more than one hundred students in business and industry. In her role as a co-ordinator, Dr. Wells also admin- isters the School and College Ability Test and the Constitution Test, assists in Honor Society, Phi Theta Kappa, selections, and heads the student teacher pro- gram in the Moline schools.

.onfer in Directing Growth of MCC W sl ef ggi Q W DR. RICHARD E. WHALEN Southern Illinois University, B.S. University of Mississippi, M.A. Indiana University, M.S., Ed. D. Deniz of Moline Community College Administrators of Moline Community College place emphasis on both college credit and adult vocational education courses. This policy is evidenced by the creation of the position, director of technical, voca- tional, and adult education. Filled by Mr. L. Everett Belote, this job demands a full time faculty member. More proof of interest in adult education may be found in the fact that the technical program is being executed at two locations. Now, vocational education courses are made available not only at MCC, but also at the new Moline Senior High School. Because the administration feels that a full time instructor offers definite advantages over a part-time one, it has originated a full time teaching position whenever possible. It must be remembered that four full time teachers can replace sixteen part-time instruc- tors, in fact, this exact substitution took place at the beginning of the second semester. A total of six full time teachers were added to the staff this year, bringing the number to sixteen. In addition, faculty members have been appointed to head most of the departments. Carrying this same policy a step further, Dr. Whalen, Dr. Davis, and the school board have added a full time head coach to the faculty next year. To offer a greater variety of college credit courses at a junior college, the administration employs part- time instructors. This year fifty-five teachers com- prised MCC's part-time faculty. The program at MCC this year has been expanded in several areas: more full time instructors, new equip- ment, and increased facilities represent growth in the curricula. Employment in the college has reached a record high. Including instructors, office assistants, and cafeteria and custodial help, eighty-eight persons cur- rently are working at the college.

ecretaries Perform Many Duties Mrs. Mary Riordan assists Mrs. Wanda Lambert in recording grades. ' ' Qi . E savjl.f.U WUI nn In addition to Registrar Mrs. Dorothy Kramer, the office staff consists of Mrs. Phyllis Peterson, Mrs. Mary Riordan, Mrs. Wanda Lambert, and Mrs. Jean Carlson. During the first semester, Mrs. Janette Ketelsen and Mrs. Joanna Greenwood were employed. Mrs. Phyllis Peterson administers the school insur- ance program at MCC, as well as helping with tran- scripts. Typing office records is another duty she has performed during her four years at MCC. Secretary to Mr. L. Everett Belote, Mrs. Mary Riordan, who also helps with typing, began her work in the college office in November. In addition to her secretarial duties Mrs. Riordan duplicates examinations for teachers. Mrs. Wanda Lambert succeeded Mrs. Janette Ketel- sen as the registrars assistant. When the end of the semester arrives and grades must be recorded, Mrs. Lambert takes this responsibility. She also handles class cards. Replacing Mrs. Joanna Greenwood in the bookroom during the second semester is Mrs. Jean Carlson. Head- Mrs. Phyllis Peterson agrees with Mrs. Jean Carl- son that the insurance forms are in order. ffm' ing Mrs. Carlson's duties are ordering books, mailing out class schedules, and taking charge of bookkeeping and banking for the college. The dispensing of information is one of the pri- mary services of the office staff. Vendors of the corn- modity are Mrs. Phyllis Peterson, who answers queries by telephone, and Mrs. Mary Riordan at the informa- tion desk. What type of questions are asked? Prospec- tive students want to know which courses are offered, the entry requirements for these courses, and their col- lege credit hours. Current students call to find out whether a certain class will be held, or whether an instructor has revealed the semesters grades. These are but a few of the many inquiries which face the secretaries each day. Aiding Arrowhead Ranch was the office staffs ma- jor Christmas time project. Each secretary at MCC adopted a child from the ranch for one evening. This evening was spent at a Christmas party, where each boy was presented a gift by his temporary parent.
