MARGARET BECKER Music She is the one responsible for the beautiful melodies you hear coming from Room 201 Fifth period and for the other grand musical entertainment we receive during the School year.

LELA ADAMS Home Economics Her soft voice, her ready smile, her sly wink, and sweet personality charm everyone who comes in contact with her. Her coupon-wise home economics students are not even bothered by rationing. BYRON ARNOLD Biology We always like our teachers full of pep and wit, and Mr. Arnold, another one of our new members of the M. H. S. faculty, surely fulfills our desire. E. LEE BARNETT Manual Arts Located in an industrial center such as Moline, we need men trained in manual arts. Mr. Barnett works hard at fulfilling this need by training Moline High boys and girls well. WILBUR BARCLAY Manual Arts Though very seldom seen around the halls of Moline High School itself, he is doing a fine job in training boys at M. A. to hold down vital defense jobs after graduation. 9

Uar faculty Our Faculty Heads -Dolph Lain, C. R. Crakes, and Elof Peterson Welcomu 714 lack . . . 1'?06 01 Jeff? Q3 N' l . , Q9 E9 WX if M mf l Q. X ' F N Welcomed back to the confines of M. H. S. by our faculty, we found that wartime conditions had greatly altered the substance of our high school life. Courses designed to prepare us for aid to the war effort had been added to the curriculum, and other evidences of war were to be found in nearly every classroom. Not just a few of our city's school system have answered their nation's call to the colors, and all of the others are doing their duty on the home front. Several faculty members have as- sumed responsible positions on local commit- tees directly related to the national welfare. All of the faculty are to be congratulated for the patriotic manner in which they handled the tedious work of registration for the va- rious ration programs which have become a part of our daily life. Heading this fine faculty are Mr. Dolph Lain and Mr. Elof Peterson, who hold the offices of principal and assistant principal, respectively. F ormer-Principal C. R. Crakes now holds the office of Superintendent of Schools.

MARY ENGEL Physical Education Although she's still Miss Tucker to many of us. our tiny physical education teacher takes her place among the E's this year instead ol' the T's, due to her recent marriage. FANNIE ENTRIKEN English, Dean of Girls Her willingness to do whatever she can to help in any way is realized and appreciated by the Moline High stu- dents. Her advice is always sensible, wise, and helpful. JANET FORD Librarian How she manages to remember as many names as she does is really a mystery. She does a fine job of keeping the library quiet and those stray locker keys in order. 10 ELLA COCKRELL, Head of English Department Miss Cockrell always manages to keep her classes in- teresting and is ready, willing, and able to give good advice to our struggling journalists. LEONA DAY Social Science In spite of her beaming smile and pleasing personality, she shows all her history and civics students the necessity of preparing their lessons every day without fail.
