Our chance to better understand ourselves and the world through our high school education is past. But we challenge you to take advantage of the opportunities still before you, so that together we can better strive for a lasting world peace. fl ,-ff'+5'.f- S? wif ei , N Q f' N 1 X7 J ,f ix f X' f, CAL in j'reZgAf XQXLCLL ViDalton, LeRoy Swanson, Willard Petersen, Smarr, Russler, McCaffery, Ainsworth, Kenneth Iohnson, Ross, Henry, Kerns, Pufalt, Vinton, White, Carlelt, Shirley Ebling, Lerigo, Lange, Watkins.

JQALM Licfd gef My Afrafg uw Gow in? .. . , , ot the extensive M,H S. athletic program is rated one of the highest in the state, GEORGE SENNEFF, head football coach and athletic director, has for twenty-four seasons at Moline turned out the finest caliber of teams-teams respected by every school because ot sportsmanship and standard ct play, Coach Sennelf has been honored by the State Ath- letic Board. He is one of the coaches to select all state candidates in football . . . ROGER POTTER, the head basketball coach for the past three years has sent two teams to the state tournament, and the last team won second place after losing to a team previously defeated by Moline. He is known by coaches and sports writers as a clever and fair teacher ot this sport . . , WILLIAM BEAN, as head track coach, has always turned out surprisingly good track teams when sometimes the caliber of material was under par. It takes an expert coach to make runners out of boys without natural talent . . . CLIFF HYINK, new to Moline coaching this year, has been an outstanding aid in football. His knowledge of line play and former experience as a tackle at Illinois proved invaluable . , . Moline has always been ranked in the giant class because ol its killer schedule and the splendid opponents we obtain for all sports is due to the work oi C, W. HOLMGREN, athletic man- ager. He believes the customers should get the best lor their money and proves this by arranging for games, not just pushover, but tough, high class affairs. Besides this, Winnie is active in coaching both the girls and boys tennis teams. C, W. HOLMGREN ROGER POTTER WILLIAM BEAN u ' ' ' ' ' CLIFF HYINK GEORGE SENNEFF ucrdify Our football team had a successful sea son based on the Moline l3, Davenport l3, although up to that game the team had won 2, lost 4 and tied l, which doesn't seem too im- pressive. All the dopesters throughout the gave Moline the slightest chance to come close to th from Davenport, which had won every game of the season exce tri-cities never e juggernaut pt one and was regarded as the best team from across the river in 5 years. As the two teams warmed up before the contest the most ardent Moline fan had much hope for our team against such a power- house. And yet before the half had ended the score was 7 to 7, much to the chagrin of the Davenport rooters and th ment of Moliners. But still the general consensus of opinion was that the next halt would find the big gridders from the West out for M not even e amaze- aroon blood. For two quar- rth-first ters the lead went back and fo the Davenport passing attack cut loose and scored a touchdo wn, making the score 13 to 7. For many, this seemed to be only a warm-up for more Blue Devil touchdowns, and some spectators left early to avoid the intense cold and have to witness the slaughter-to-come. Yet a few minutes later, after grinding down the field, yard by yard, our boys scored again, but missed the extra point by inches to make the score tied l3 to l3 . . .

And the score stayed that way even after the Davenport team tried every maneuver at their commandfand after a few tricks of our own. We fought them on even terms. lt wasnt a fluke, but just a matter of fighting against tremendous odds and not breaking under pressure. The '44 team will be remembered in school history for giving the M men a real thrill, a thrill not to be forgotten. West Rockford met a green team in the first game of the season and won 12 to U, but that same team grew stronger with each game and finally climaxed their efforts in the last, and most important contest. The armed forces reached in at the middle of the season and took Kenny Thonn, the left end who liked football because he wanted to hit hard and feel a good strong block. Ken was really excited, but a little sad that he didn't get in also, when the result of the Davenport game was sent to him, Later our captain-elect, Elwood Benker, the boy with the grin, left for service too: as did Ralph Havener, the accurate passing center, and Lloyd Tholen, curly-haired tackle. Bill Garrett, elected Most Valuable Player, is one fel- low opposing teams undoubtedly hope will join the army instead of playing an- other season of football, because Bill had a knack for roughing up the composure of many confident teams. The only player Bill ever worried about was Eddie Tunni- cliff, All State halfback from Kewanee, because, said Bill, Any player l can get a hold of, I can bring down-but you can't catch lightning. . . .

Bill Ford, equipped with more power than his name. When asked if he could tackle very hard, he Would shake his head and say, Oh not very And et , - Y every time he pulled a runner to the ground and the fellow took his tim e stumbling to his feet after the jarring tackle, Bill would always rush over extend a helping arm, and anxiously ask, Are you all right?

How- ever, other boys rose to till the gaps and some new stars were uncovered. Among the sophs who will form the nucleus for next year's varsity are: Bob Reeves, small but aggressive guard, lames Duke, the little dynamite who will bid for the backtield, Gale Harter, the hardest blocker and tackler on the team, Zelnio, passer and plungerp and Norman Clayton, the Warbler. There are other boys on the squad who just began to blossom out in their soph year and will improve even more next year to make the var- sity. There are great possibilities among these youngsters who had a small team this year, but a clever, fighting one. lliumify Our basketball team was on the spot before the season began. Last year's team which established itself as the great- est in school history, set a standard any team could hardly touch. This '44 team was a good, above-average team which would have been considered successful by any school except when in the shadow of the '43 champs. This yearfs team ac- complished two major objectives, notably: they continued in the aggressive spirit of past Moline basketball teams and kept up the maintained record of high caliber athletics for this school. Against Gales- burg the boys fought all the way and only in the last two minutes did the Silver Streaks gain the margin of victory. That took fight, and plenty of it. Very few inexperienced teams can hope to frighten a veteran favorite the way Moline made Galesburg shake for four complete quarters . , . lV----Robert Ryser lllfDwight Humphrey llfWilliam Garrett lflienneth Pauly, Gail Harter Kailefla K! . . . ln fact, in every game-against ruth- less pointmakers like Canton or mediocre aggregations like Savanna, the Moline squad kept lighting and held the smooth composure of a polished team. The play- ers themselves had enough power to make every team keep on their guard, put some victories under our own belt, and had plenty ot fun at this game of basketball. Iazz critic extraordinary and forward on the team, Port Bennett sums up the team spirit this way, As the 'Duke' would put it, we had some mighty nice sessionslu The second aim of this year's team was to build for next season. The '44 team was not a tournament champion, but sowed the seed tor a future great squad. We had a very young team.

At times they played like real veterans, and under Potters smooth coaching never appeared jittery or nervous-that looks like big things tor the future. The captain elect for this year is Rod Tizzard, incidently another jazz tan, who played center. The captain for '45 is the quiet unassuming Dwight Humphrey, who came up from the sophomore squad to lead the team's scoring. Watch these boys next yearemore mighty nice sessions are coming up.

At first, the Davenport team began to run over our team and had a ten point advantage at the first quarter. Then Mr. Potter sent in a complete soph lineup. Many fans gasped and said if the varsity can't do it how does he expect those inexperienced sophs to come through? But the coach had the situa- tion well in hand, because that aggregation of tenth graders went out, played the last three quarters, and ended up by trimming the Davenport junior varsity in a veteran manner. Later, as the season progressed, many of these sophomore stars were taken up on the varsity to gain experience for next year. This squad of sophomores proved their Worth and will provide a galaxy of stars for the following two years. Allen Trevor, Larry Petit, Paul Fryxell, Dick Willey Bob Ryser mm Qnnfry The cross country team this fall had a very suc- cessful season. This is a sport designated only for those boys who do not care for the glory of athletics, but for the good it emits. They go out on the track when the autumn winds begin to blow and the first snow falls, and run and run and run. The boys on the football field, when they see the cross country fellows slaving around the cinder path, are glad to just get pushed around-running is really tough. ln the Northwest Conference Cross Country Meet, Larry Petit, Track captain and well known runner in the Quad Cities, won first place, and Dick Willy placed seventh. This year's tearn was one of the best in school history. . jIf'0LC ln the spring a o y ung man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of who's going to win the 100 yard dash in the Northwest C f on erence, At Moline High School every afternoon a group of boys grind out miles and miles of running around throw big iron balls with the aid of long long thin stick, and out-and love it. The weren't too good, but the track at the field and called shotputs, and jump thin sticks across another generally wear themselves fortunes of this year's team that really isn't the important thing-the import- ant thing is that there are quite a few boys around our school with well-developed chests and legs bulging with muscles. Track is a real body builder, and a perfect way to get into con- dition for the armed services, However, although our team didn't win meets, there were a couple of individual performers who won their respective events against the best competition in this area. Porter Bennet, that tall dark and crazy bit of humanit w h y as t e prize performer of the track team. Port went to the N th i or west Conference meet completely unh l ' era ded, and against the hardest competition won first place in the 440 yard dash. Other outstanding performers who also were successful against opponents were: Wayne Simonsen, Dick ibashfull Larson Dick Sears the soph ol , p evaulter, and Willie Mc- Adams, dashman.

Other members of the team were: Doren Russler, Rod Tizzard fyou all know the Deaconl, Bob Holm- gren, and Ierry Smith. Except Tizzard every one of those boys are under- graduates who will be back to swat the ball next year. In the fall season, although Moline was defeated in the Northwest Con- ference match, Betty Stoelting won her matches to become the girls' singles champion of the Conference. Since Betty graduated in lanuary, Marilyn Fall won the No. 1 position on the girl's team. lncidentally, any- one on the tennis team will tell you that the best player in school is really Mr. Holmgren, the coachl wimming Moline High School's swimming team dropped out of competition this year due to transportation difficulties. However, those water polo games which are legendary, are still played with enthusiasm among the boys. Many hair-raising tales have been told about the water polo games that the swimming team plays-stories about hard fought underwater com- bats, close scores and tremendous duckings. Also, the boys keep in the spirit of competition by having races and time trials among themselves. Some ot the races are: 40 yard free style, breast stroke and back stroke, 160 yard relay, medley relay and distance races. Among the outstanding swimmers on the squad are: Forrest Frazier, Dwight Humphrey, Dave Patterson, and Henry Holst. In the quad-city tournament, Moline, at the date of publica- tion stood second, East Moline holding first place. This year was prolific, as far as golfers were concerned, for Moline High School. About ten boys tried out for the team and there was much competition for places on the tourney squad. After inter-squad matches, the boys were seeded in this order: Ray Anderson was first: George Brown, second: Dutch Hartzell, third: and Don Greer, fourth.

After One Night of Melody in the fall the choir turned its efforts to the mid-year graduation and Baccalaure- ate. At the turn of semesters the May Festival was planned and also the Spring Concert. On May twelfth the Festival, under the supervision of Miss Dunlap, was produced at Wharton Field House under the stirring title, Proudly We Hail. Over l3OU students from sixth grade, the junior highs and high school participated in the years largest pro- duction. The direction was divided among the music teachers of these schools. When the end of the semester draws near, the choir keeps plugging away, for the Spring Concert and grad- uation keep them working up to the last day of school. Special groups like the Quartette and Ensemble sing on various occasions, Miss Becker has expanded the music activities and finally acquired the goodly portion of Central's ample space to accommodate her large classes. Yes, and we must not forget that the choir is now sporting new robes of maroon and white.

Negative-Vernon Ohlendorl and Malcolm Bosseg alternates-Dale Larson and Eleanor Beling. In the Northwest Conference meet, Moline got third place and also garnered third at the District tournament. Some nights after school, it you had courage enough, you could sneak up to Miss Garst's room and listen to the debaters practice-if you call shouting and hitting opponents over the head practicing. The arguments got so heated at times it seemed like brute strength, not reasoning, would decide the question. Although there was this playful enmity While debating, I hasten to assure you that the members were the best of friends. That is, after the season was over. Still the debaters received invalu- able experience in the art of argumentation and learned a great deal on a subject that is one of the most important questions of the day. ll-Bill Dalton, Bob Sward, Malcolm Bosse, Ver- non Ohlendort.

As the maroon and white curtain of the M.H.S. stage parted on Act l Scene l oi Twelfth Night, the audience awaited in eager anticipation the outcome ot this comedy, the fourth annual Shakespearean production to be presented in this high school. The highlight ot the drama was the portrayal ot Sir Toby Belch by Reverend William R. Hodgson, minister ot the First Congrega- tional Church. At a critical moment when it looked as it the play would have to be postponed because of the illness ot a cast member, Doctor Hodgson proved his versatility when he stepped in and enacted the role with professional grace and interpretation. This lively comedy involves the escapades of ship-wrecked twins Viola and Sebastian. Viola disguises herself as a young boy and obtains a position in the home ot the Duke ot lllyria when she discovered that he is rich and unmarried. The Duke is madly in love with Olivia who cares nothing about him, Real complications arise when Olivia talls in love with Caesario, who is Viola in disguise. That is just the beginning ot trouble, but after Caesario discloses his true identity the confusion is abated, the twins who each believed the other dead, are united and the Duke decides that Viola will make him a very lovely witel ll-Watkins, Harris, Kozeliski. l-Dalton, Darland, Sward, Hodgson, Schwiebert.

Always the extravaganza of the year, the Atter Dinner Club- Fellowship production, written by Nancy Hodgson, Wanda Mel- ton, Burton Harris, and Paul Fryxell, was entitled Full Speed Ahead. Filled with comedy, songs, dance, and clever dialogue, the production was divided into three parts. Part l was about a young tellow who wanted to produce a show lor servicemen The second scene took place in the Gravy-on-the-Bib General Store where the country folk discussed the idea and decided to attend the show. Part Il, Strolling in the Park, was the story ot a park infatuation which ends in despair ior the young soldier when the beautiful girl boards a train and rides out oi his lite. The second part was a split-stage scene picturing a home and a service canteen. The third part was a skit trom radio station WQTZ, Saddle Blister, Wyoming, written and enacted by Rod- erick Tizzard, Porter Be-nett, and Malcolm Bosse. The dialogue was clever and brought many laughs from the audience. The finale, a Dixie Iamboree, was a real old-fashioned minstrel, in which songs and jokes were sung and related in the charac- teristic southern style. Earl Anderson capably directed the music, and Barbara Murchie served as accompanist. The whole production was directed by Miss Barbara Garst.

Against criticism and financial problems the various community asso- ciations continued their hard Work until the place for coke and companion- ship had become a real- ity. On luly 31, 1943, the Youth Center held its Grand Opening - and MRS. HARRY FRIEDEN Manager from then on the building at 1528 Sixth Avenue, has been bustling with activity. At a Christening Ball, after a vote was taken, the Youth Center was formally named The Heli. There have been some wonderful dances held at the REKg for instance, The HalloWe'en party, the Lucille Ball With the surprise Queen, the Easter dance, and the membership dance. It is, however, the every-day use of the REK that makes it an indispensible part of Moline High School student life. Ruth Clifton gained nation-Wide acclaim through her interest in the REK, and Tom Finfgeld Was one of those who Worked hardest in the establishment of this center. So, a new page is written in Moline history. The REK influenced student activities this year and should continue to provide pleasure to those who shall come to our high school in the future. :mlm ia Rod and Tizz plan cxttock . . .

From their towering heights they have watched men come and go . . . govern- ments rise and fall . . . civilizations abide their destined hour, and pass away. They have watched man stumble through wars and depressions, to arise again and drive forward, ever progressing in his relationships with his fellow man, in his partnership with Nature . . . in making his lot easier, better, more healthful. Over thousands of years, man has progressed in his effort to till the soil more productively. The crooked stick, the plow, the flail, the reaper, combine, the tractor were long steps on the that brought to man a freedom-gave him I for tasks other than providing food for his 4 subsistence. And when this war is won, when farm equipn is again available in quantity, more farmers ' take to themselves the blessings and advantz of mechanical farming. And the eternal hills' see another change, as great as any in the I: toward a far richer and liner agricultural life world over.
