Youth, with all of its perplexities ot growing up, is now being recognized as a part of the com- munity worthy of and in need oi a place to call its own-a Teen Canteen. A Teen Canteen is a place where young people meet to plana and conduct a recreation pro- gram .under their own leadership-a place where young people feel they belong- a place to spend leisure time, and a real opportunity to be a part of tho community. A Teen Canteen is a place where leadership is developed under a minimum of adult guid- ance-a place where youth may exercise self- expression and self-discipline-a place where youth becomes a part of the community. Contrary to the belief of some, a Teen Canteen is not a war emergency project but a program that is worthy of the community's support in time of peace as well as in time ot war. V-'We, the class of '45, dedicate this annual to the Teen Canteen with the hope that the move- ment will continue to grow and develop youth for they time that it must assume leadership in the post-war world. . . .

T. staff, makes decisions and carries on work of lit- erary concern in Moline High School. This group organizes, elects officers, and con- ducts meetings at which plays, debates, etc. are discussed. Officers for this year are Ierry Smith, president: Mary Frances Hanson, vice presidentg and Mary lane Coddington, secretary, One of the most important jobs is the annual appointment of the L. O. T. staff. A Literary Board ex oiticio is one of the main cogs in the association, and members of this board are taken from the faculty. Miss Garst, head of the Speech Department, does a marvelous job of coach- ing all plays and debates. Miss Cockrell, head of the English Department: Mr. Lain, principal: and Mr. Peterson, assistant principal, spend time and effort serving on the board. Ella Cockrell I Belmg, Miller, Lyons, D. Hanson.

Although this year's squad was inexperienced with the exception of Eleanor Beling, they handled the subject with ability which won many debates. Coached by Miss Barbara Garst, the affirmative debaters were lack Lyons, Byrd Berman, lim Walker, and Bill Ander- son, while Eleanor Beling, Betty Miller, and Dick Hanson con- stituted the negative team. Able alternates were Clyde Rou- sey, Carolyn Carlson, and Seymour Regal. Trips were taken to Augustana of February 2 and 3, and to the Northwest Conference in Rock Island on February 23 and 24. The debate at Augustana is an annual affair with twenty-two high schools taking part, and against veteran op- ponents Moline won three out of twelve contests. At the lat- ter debate they talked their way into tieing for second place by winning three out of six debates, At the state pre- liminaries Moline again put its best foot forward and made a meritous showing. Thus ending the season with a commendable record, the debate squad not only broadened their knowledge on this theme, but also gained some beneficial experience.

Bjorklund, Hallstrom, Closen, Frieden Issuance of the third volume of The Imp, the literary magazine which is made up of original compositions penned by M.H.S. students, was made possible by sixteen staff mem- bers and Miss Ella Cockrell, faculty sponsor. Heading the editorial staff was Shirley De Taeye, editor, and Ioyce Bjorklund, business manager, and Barbara Blair, advertising manager, handled the financial affairs. The editorial staff was composed of Marilyn Effland, Bill Peterson, Mary Francess Hansen, Don Oppenheimer, Pat Maupin, and Roy Larson. Four juniors, Marilyn Ekdahl, Betty Hallstrom, Betty Lou Closen, and Mary Frieden, were the advertising staff. Others on the staff are lean Gordon, sub- scription manager, Charlotte Hoyt, artist, and Carla Reynolds, typist. Due to government limitations on paper, The Imp was bound in a traditional white leatherette cover, but eight pages were added to the '45 Imp, thus making a total of forty-eight pages. A new highlight is an impressive, double-page spread in the center of the book. Oggfafg The sixteen girls in the Library Club spend at least one period a day in the library helping Mrs, Ford with many routine jobs such as circulating books, collecting admits and taking them to the study halls, keeping magazine and book shelves in order and accommodating students who have lost or forgot- ten keys. This is the first year that sophomores have been admitted to membership. Though the club is the hardest working organization in school, the girls find time out to entertain the faculty at an afternoon tea, which the members prefer to call a faculty browse.

Famous for their exuberant meetings, good times, and club parties, the Senior Boys' Hi-Y also has devoted much of their time to many constructive activities. Combining with the Iunior and Girls' Club, they sponsor dances at the YWCA which have proved to be very popular. Through the efforts of Phil Mahoney, the club Was' allowed to take special tests for aptitudes, personality, and other character re- quirements in which many hidden talents were uncovered. The Iunior Club lacks nothing in spirit either, and with Merrie Stephenson as their supervisor, the club has many a rousing ses- sion. When the Iuniors entertain the other Hi- Y Clubs, they always have fine speakers and good things to eat, and their parties are bright spots in the Hi-Y year. Both Iunior and Senior Clubs sponsored a dinner in observance of the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the YMCA at which the boys' parents were invited. This club also has the largest representation on the Hi-Y basketball team. Although the sophomores did not organize until mid-semester they have picked up loose ends and have proved themselves to be just as active as the other clubs. Credit for oz good deal of their fine Work should be given their supervisor, Mr. Ruben Peterson. SOPHOMORE President ....................... ...................

A hilarious hick-jig party was given to welcome new members at the beginning of the school year-thus opening the season with a bang. Also, the popular after-game dances planned jointly with the Boys' Hi-Y Clubs, a week-end at Camp Hauberg for the Illowa Con- ference, the early morning Easter services at the United Presbyterian Church, plus interest- ing meetings, teas, slumber parties, and cabi- net retreats round out the activities of this club. 1 President .........

In his 25 years of coaching duties Senneff has won l34 battles and lost 70 while tying 15 times. As basketball mentor Senneff also made an excellent showing, as he took his ninth quintet to the state finals, Bill Bean, as track coach this year, continues in the sport in which he excelled. He has the knowledge to make excellent tracksters out of average or even sub par material. Cliff Hyink received a huge share of the coaching duties this year as he is to handle the diamond sport and was also assistant football coach. He has quite a football knowledge to draw from, for he was a star tackle at Illinois in his day. lack Foley is another new added to Moline high this year, but the boys took an immedi- ate liking to the youthful St. Ambrose star. He handled the sophomore sports program this year and deserves much of the credit for the great showing made by the Moline sophomores. C. W. Holmgren, the athletic manager for the Maroon sports, likes to keep the Moline candidates in excellent competition and endeavors to give the home fans a view of the best teams in the state. His is a heavy assignment, but he handles it well and without error. William Becm George Sennefl C. W. Holmgren 1 l 1 Clif! Hyink I-Iyink, Fanning, Foley, Ford.

Meeting four of the state's greatest football powers in the season's schedule, the Moline Maroons stood little chance of coming through with a perfect or near perfect record, but even with these contests on the bill the Maroon and White gridders won two and lost six encounters during the fall season , . . not bad considering the way Uncle Sam tore up the squad early in the season. East Aurora, West Rockford, Galesburg, and Rock Island all appeared on the Moline grid card and constituted four of the State's greatest '44 pigskin powers. Moline's hopes for an outstanding season were shattered before the season started as Bill Garrett: Chuck Hill, and Gene Iennings were snatched up by the bewhiskered gentleman. All of these gridders were outstanding on last year's eleven and were slated to return this year. lniuries hampered the Senneffmen throughout the whole season, and at one time, five of the starting lineup were on the bench at the start of the game. As the season got under way, the Moline eleven gave the home fans an excellent showing when they neatly pushed the Iowa City Little Hawks into the dirt via a 7 to 6 victory over the lowans. Small but mighty Ben Willey did the damage as he galloped 25 yards on an end run for the touchdown after Moline recovered their own kick at the start of the second half. Bob Ryser's trained toe guided the pig- skin between the uprights for the winning point. The next week the Moliners saw the latest form of a Rocket ship zoom past them as small Ioe Fasu- la of the West Rockford eleven galloped around in the battle to account for four touchdowns as the Babs spanked the Maroons 39 to 7. The Moline tally came in the second stanza as Caleb Smith travel- ed the final yards after the Moline gridders marched 70 yards down field. Ryser converted in his usual manner as the oval split the uprights. Traveling to Kewanee for the next contest the Moliners came home with a second and final win un- der their belts as Chet Fanning drove through the Boilermakers for two touchdowns while the Orange and Black could only score one tally and a safety. With Ryser's two points tossed in the Maroons came through with a final l4 to 9 count . . . . . . East Moline came next on the card and eased by the Moline grid squad by a 20 to U count, al- though the final score does not tell the story of the QGITIG. The Moline eleven Carried the ball past the Hilltopper's 25 yard marker five times during the course of the game, but each time fumbled the cval with the Orange and Black Gridders from the East recovering. Chet Fanning did not see action due to jooflaf y I-Fred Samuelson, Ed Netherton, Bill Brasmer, Doren Russler. ll--Iohn Yolton, Bob Henss, Bill Fogle, Iim Stormont. a back injury, while Caleb Smith and Bob Ftyser received heavy blows with Smith twisting his knee and Byser, a reoccurrence of his old leg injury. Galesburg, one of the state grid powers displayed their wares to the Moline fans the next week with little trouble as they made an excellent day out of a Friday the l3 by trimming the Moliners 19 to 7. The Maroon tally came in the second count on a pass from Bill Meier to Ben Willey. Bob Byser booted his fifth conversion in five tries for Moline's final count of seven points. The Maroons kept trying to score all through the battle as they held the ball on the Galesburg l yard line early in the third quarter only to lose the ball as a result of a fumble. Again in the final frame Moline gridders drove down to the 15 yard line but lost the ball on downs. Bock lsland made their appearance on the Browning Field gridiron and as far as the Moliners are concerned they could have stayed home, as they cut loose with undaunted fury in their chase for the Quad-City crown and piled up 33 points against theMaroon's U total. Before the full M Mens crowd who saw nothing like the battle of the year before, the Maroon gridders could not hold the Crimson back. Asnake dance by the student body through the business section of Moline earlier in the day seemed to offer little incentive. Onan overnight trip to Aurora, Illinois, the Maroon crew met even tougher competition as they fell before the crushing blows of the East Aurora Tomcats 35 to 2. The Tomcats lost little time in put- ting the Moliners behind as Budy Nibble galloped 80 yards to score on the first play after the kick- off. The Moline safety came late in the final quarter when they blocked a punt on East Aurora's one foot line. ln this game five regulars did not start because of injuries. Ending the season with their annual battle against the Davenport Blue Devils, the Maroon's were completely outclassed as they met one of the strongest teams in the Hawkeye state and were sent back across the Muddy Mississippi with a 33 to l2 defeat. With an aerial attack that must have had bomb sights attached, the lowa eleven left the Moliners behind early in the fray. Bill Ford cornered the first Moline tally after two passes from Meier to Mullen. Byser missed his first conversion of the season after that touchdown. A second touchdown by Ford in the third stanza completed the Moline scoring as Byser missed twice in a row. Honors for the season went to all candidates but the greatest goes to Bill Ford who gained a berth as tackle on the All-State team. f9'x'a' ff' gi A 35.55 A Wgigggkjghi R' zw sf' A ,Axi m N-55.534 if as Sglqv 40 2 55 K g wg 5 W, .K hw 'Q sg Y if , Q Af -' ' N? .gw 'E wig :QXEQR . ww 3 gy FA g.,, ef?

Sopkomore goofgaf The sophomore grid eleven help up the mainstay of Moline football standards last year as they captured the first place crown in the Northwest Conference and tied for the same berth in the Quad-City loop by coming through the season with four wins and three losses. Before their first game two of the squad's candidates were taken up to varsity competition as Fred Samuel- son filled in at one guard post while Bill McAdams held the haltback position. The Little Maroons evened up the two game series with all of the Quad-City Schools as did East Moline to tie with the Hilltopper sophs for the Quad-City crown. ln their final battle of the season against the Davenport Blue Devils, Coach Iack Foley's sophs made a very commendable showing but couldn't quite turn the trick as they were beaten '7 to 6. After winning their first tour games of the season the Little Maroons lost the last three thus keeping them from undisputed lead in the Quad-City tourney. The Galesburg un- derclassmen were sent back to the Silver Streak city calling Help, Tonto, after a 25 to 6 drubbing. The most praise should go to Laverne Trevorrow as he consistently drove for the final yardage to give the sophs their mar- gin of victory, When Fanning was out of the lineup he even filled in at the fullback berth on the varsity eleven. gaalefgaf With the return of four lettermen from last year's five, Coach George Senneff resuming the basketball mentor's post due to Roger Potter's absence while serving in the Navy, built up a cage quintet that far surpassed any of the preseason hopes of even the most ardent Moline fans. By finishing in the first place berth in the Quad-City race, the Moliners performed a feat that is as hard if not harder than capturing the Northwest confer' ence crown. No where in this section of the state does such rivalry prevail as in the Quad-City contests. Third place in the Northwest Conference standings also was taken by the Maroon and White cagers. Opening the season with a win over the Princeton Tigers the Moline quintet did not look any too good, especially since they were to meet the lslanders the next week on the Moline hardwood. With Bob Byser chalkinq up a total of l2 markers the Moline dribblers set the Tigers down 35 to 26 before a ca- pacity crowd in the Princeton gymnasium. The next week proved the test, and the Maroon and White cagers stood up through it all as they handed the Rock Island Crimson their first major sports defeat in the fall semester by spanking the Crimson quintet 38 to 29. Dwight Humphrey and Bill Fogle handled the Moline scoring honors with l5 and l3 tallies respectively, as the Moliners hit the net for a blazing 35M average. Holding the lslanders scoreless in the last eight minutes of play, the Maroons looked like the quintets of old. East Moline proved to be an even greater threat than did the lslanders before the Senneffmen tripped the Hilltoppers 32 to 28 on the Moline court. Dwight Humphrey once again held the scoring honors but not without the aid of Gene Larson pivot man, as both cagers tallied 9 points .... , f'2 IV--Dwight Humphrey lllfffdward Iawoisz Humphrey swishes one against Rock Island.

Traveling to Waukegan for their next contest the Maroons met their first defeat of the season when they were nosed out by the Bulldogs 24 to 22. Dwight Humphreys attempt in the final second rolled around the rim and out to give the Waukegan five a victory without an overtime period. Canton and Davenport came next on the list and the Ma- roons played one of their best games of the season as they took the Giants 38 to 32. The Moline quint aided by Gene Larson's free throw in the final 30 seconds sent the Davenport Blue Devils back across the river with a 38 to 39 scalping. Behind 18 to l4 at the intermission the Maroons came out ahead to gain an undisputed lead in the race for the Quad-City crown. Galesburg and Monmouth found the Moliners on the under- side of the scoresheet as the Silver Streaks rudly dumped the hometown cagers 34 to 23 while the Zippers from Monmouth edged the Senneffmen out of a win by a 40 to 43 score, proving that the Monmouth five would not be a stepping stone this season. Quincy was the next Moline victim as the eighth place team in the state rating fell before the Maroon and White 39 to 38 in another thriller staged on the Wharton Fieldhouse floor.

Rock Island came back from their loss to the Moliners earlier in the season to pile up a 39 to 28 count on the Maroon five, as they went wild in the final quarter after the Maroons led at the three quarter mark. The next night Paris received a rough going over as the heralded quint could do little against the strong offensive show- ing made by the Senneffmen, The final outcome of the battle was Moline 41, Paris 32. East Moline was the next Moline opponent and vicitm as the Maroons came out on the top sid-e of a 35 to 24 count. Free- port had the same trouble, as Moline polished of another Win by a 27 to 22 margin. Galesburg came back for a return call and after being behind ten points at the intermission, the Streaks nosed out the Moline five 29 to 27 as the Maroons scored only five points in the final half. Fogle once again topped the Moline scorers With ll tallies, Davenport staged a last half drive that fell short as the Maroons put the clinchers on the Quad-City trophy by a 31 to 28 score. With Humphrey sitting on the sidelines most of the battle, the Maroons ran up a 17 to ll count as the first half ended, but the Blue Devils tied the ball game up at the three quarter mark, before the Maroons put the finishing touches on their Quad-City masterpiece.

Monmouth received due punishment for their first Win over the Moline quintet in over ten years as the Moliners made them bite the dirt by means of an overtime Win 35 to 37. Humphrey req- istered 10 counters while Foqle and lawoisz ac- counted for 9 and 8. An ll to ll count prevailed at the end of the first stanza before the Maroons fell behind 18 to 22 at the half. The visiting Zippers came out on the short end of a 31 to 29 third quar- ter count, but tied the qame at 35 all in the final seconds of the last frame. Making the trip to the Boilermaker City for the last regular contest of the season the Moliners found little to stop them from chalkinq up their season record of l3 wins and 5 losses as the Boilermakers were sadly beaten 46 to 29. Eddie Iawoisz broke through the 20 mark on the point column to net 22 counters in the season finale. After starting the season with little game knowledge under their belts, the Moline caqers made an excellent showing fcr the old Maroon and White. Moline's tiqht defense against Kewanee. .SJOIOAOHQOPQ KaOLet66Lf The sophomore quintet held their own during the season as they ended up with a six won and the same number lost which shoved them into third place in the Northwest Conference loop and a tie for second in the Quad-City standings. Starting out the cage season with a convincing win over the tall Islander sophs, the Moline quint then lost their second battle to the East Moline Hills toppers underclassmen by a small margin in the final seconds. ln their next battle the Little Maroons fell before the Davenport sophs also by a small mar- gin, Galesburg and Monmouth next felt the stinging blows of the Maroon soph's, and Iack Foley's crew came through with two more wins. Kewanee then stopped their happy jaunt as they eased by the Little Maroons with their huge quintet that may have been mistaken for the varsity five. Rock Island took the return engagement with the Moline cagers as did East Moline. Gales- burg, Davenport, and Monmouth then fell in that order before the Kewanee sophs finished their undefeated season with a heart breaker over the Little Maroons. During the first semester of the soph cage season the high scorer in each game was different as each cager on the first string shared that honor. Con- gratulations to lack Foley for a successful basketball, as Well as football, season with the Moline underclassmen. Many QuadfCity fans did not expect the Moline quintet to get by the Regional tournaf ment and more of them felt the same way af- ter Gene Larson sprained his ankle and Bill Fogle underwent an apendectomy, but still this nor nothing else stopped the Moline quin- tet until they met the elongated cagers from Decatur in the Semi-Finals at the State Tour- nament at Champaign. Starting out the tourney play with a 53 to 16 win over the St. loseph cagers from Bock lsland the Moline crew stepped into the semi- final session of the Regional Tournament held at Bock lsland. East Moline, the next foe, was also pushed aside as the Maroons trimmed the Hilltoppers 41 to 33, the game in which Gene Larson sprained his ankle, Bock lsland faced the Moliners the next night and the Moline quintet gave the lsland- ers a poor finish for their '44-'45 cage season by spanking the Crimson 35 to 29. lt was Bill Eogle's final game of his high school career, for he suffered an attack of appendicitis the next Monday to prevent his playing in the Sectional Tournament held at the Wharton Fieldhouse. Alpha, Morrison, Kewanee, and Moline comprised the four sectional tourney auintets with Moline Meeting Alpha while Kewanee paired up with Morrison. Alpha took a short cut to the end of another basketball season as the Maroons triumphed once more, this time by a 47 to 36 count with Iawoisz and Humphrey each garnering 13 markers. Two old Northwest Conference rivals met the next Un j, night in the final game of the tournament be- fore meeting state competition. Moline came out on the top once more although many fans predicted a sure downfall at this point. Dwight Humphrey led his mates to victory, pouring 24 counters through the hoop as the Maroons trounced the Boilermakers 44 to 27. Picking out the route they were to take to Champaign the Moliners arrived in the Uni- versity city one night before the scheduled meeting with Senn of Chicago. Expected to play in only one game by nearly all the sports writers and experts, the Moliners came through under terrific odds to send the Chica- go entry back to the Windy City with a 35 to 32 victory. Humphrey, lawoisz, and Pauly took care of most of the Moline scoring mat- ters as Byser was the only other Maroon cag- er to enter the scoring colmn. Although he was the smallest center in the tournament, Pauly also held down his six foot six inch op- ponent. Elgin came next in the tournament play and again the Moline quintet was expected to come out on the short end of the count. Again the Moline crew crossed up the experts who know little of cage determination and sent Elgin reeling back with a 41 to 39 defeat. Hum- phrey's final basket proved the margin in the final five seconds of play. lt was just one of his total of 32 markers for the contest. Behind by seven points at the end of the third quarter the Maroon and White of the Quad- Cities overcame the margin and went ahead of the Maroon and and White of the Butter- making town ..,. Showing true sportsmanship, the Boilermakers congratulated elated Maroons after Moline trounces Kewanee, 44 to 27. .Side . . . Being the smallest quintet enter- ed in the tournament, the Moliners had little chance when they met the huge De- catur Reds, and their superior heighth proved to be the final margin as the Maroons fell before the crushing blows of the elongated cagers 62 to 46. ln the third quarter the Moline crew pulled within six points of the Reds but then slipped away as Decatur poured in a succession of quick points. The Quad- City entries played the Decatur five on even terms in the second quarter but the margin already built up was too great for the Moliners to overcome. Quincy clashed with the tired Mo- liners in the consolation game and with two shots in the last SU seconds pulled away from the Moline cagers to take the third place trophy by a 49 to 47 count. ln regular season play, just a few weeks before, the Moline quintet handed the Quincy Blue Devils a like defeat with the score being 39 to 37. Fourth place in the State Tourna- ment was more than any expected the Moline quintet to receive at the start of the season or even at the start oi the State Tournament. but utter determina- tion and good ball playing turned the trick. Dwight Humphrey brought more tame to the Moliners with his first place berth on the All-State and All-Tournament teams. He also rated the same berth on the Northwest Conference All Star team. He captured the scoring crown in the Northwest Conference loop as he chalk- ed up lll points for the 10 games, and in the eighteen games played during the season, the Moline whiz kid tallied 194 markers.

OW The Moline golf team brought glory to the Maroon and White school last season as they captured the first place in the Northwest Conference meet and also first place in the Quad-City Medal play while taking second honors in the match play. Coached by Elof Peterson, assistant principal of Moline High, the golfers made a great showing in the fall season and have all but one of the regular quartet back for the spring matches. Dutch Hartzell grad- uated from the crew but George Brown, Ray Anderson, Don Greer, and Wayne lohnson remain, At the time this book goes to press the tournaments will be in full swing but the Moline golf bugs have an excellent chance of going to state this year if they can take up where they left off last season. ennid Another of the fair weather sports, tennis is becoming more and more popular at M. H. S. The fall crew of racket handlers captured the Quad- City crown by defeating Davenport 33 to 30. Dorothy Youngvorst won the girls' singles event while Betty Iohnson and Nancy Dunn overhauled the first place in the doubles division. Punky Brown and Bob Byser held their own in the boys' doubles, defeating the Davenport entries by a large margin. The same doubles contenders will be back this spring to aid Mr. Holm gren, claimed by his proteges to be the best tennis player in Moline High. Baielaf For the first time in the history of Moline High a baseball team has been organized and a regular schedule drawn up, which includes eight games, four of these being with Davenport. Galesburg and Kewanee have also en- tered on the competition blanks. There is little to tell of the sport as yet, be- cause of the early printing of the yearbook, but over 50 boys have reported to Cliff Hyink, and if zeal means anything the initial season should be a success.

The year opened with line soccer and alley soccer. Later in the Fall, each girl took the Victory Corps Test, including several gymnastic feats. ln the smaller classes, basketball was played during the winter, but girls in the larger classes considered themselves unfortunate, as they felt exercises were rather stif-fening. With Spring came tumbling and stunts. The basketball spot test, table tennis, volleyball, and badminton were participated in by all as rainy April wore on. Some peppy games of soft- ball wound up the year. Besides these many sports, swimming was thoroughly enjoyed by those who managed to work it in on their program card. I. Severtson, Palmqren, R.

Zac Bill Bean, track coach extraordinary Even before the Moline cage team had finished the season at Wharton Field House another group of Maroon athletes had taken up their spiked shoes to commence the l945 track season. Coach Bean faces the difficult task of rebuilding a strong squad after graduation and the service had taken many stellar performers from the Moline ranks. As the regular season began to draw near, the watchful eyes of our coaching staff began to recognize new talent which had jumped a notch to the varsity from the quad-city championship, 1944 sophomore squad, This year's up and coming winged men are numerous. Among the promising boys seeking first rate berths on the squad are: Curt Trevor, vaulter, jumper, hurdler and half milerg Willie Mc- Adams, ace dash and high jump man: Dick Lar- son, is the star pole vaulter and Bill Ford handles the weights. The hurdlers are ably managed by Bob Hondley and LaVerne Trevarrow, while Walt Shultze, Charles West, Bob Strong, Walt Betts, and George Anderson round out the group of trackmen. We of M. H. S. are expecting a lot from this gath- ering of talent and are hopeful that these boys will come through with a grand showing in all their meets. Good luck.

Salli defiance of her father's rule against going out movies with her surweyor and Bill's corresp dence school study of machines and devicl was unwittingly revealed when Lillian Sundqu in one of her best characterizations as Mrs. Yoc the gossipy neighbor, let Emrna's secret slip out a conversation with Papa. Finally, however, Mc Hauberg as Mama, formerly completely domir ed by Papa, asserted herself and Papa was lec jail by Walt Delftoo as State Trooper Brendle shooting the man he mistakenly took for Emni surweyor , Upper left: I.

S. stage for the fifth consecu- tive and successful time when Barbara Murchie and Caleb Smith, as the immortal Rosalind and Orlando, of As You Like lt scored another Dramatic hit before a large audience. Rosalind, banish- ed from her uncle Duke Frederick CDon Eyrel's court, seeks the forest of Arden with her cousin Celia tLillian Sundquistl, hoping to find her father CDick Hansonl, also banished by the Duke. Dis- guised as a boy, she completely deceives her father and Orlando as to her identity, and Orlando, pretending to make love to his Rosalind. Such a convincing boy is Rosalind that Phebe tMartha Nuttl a shepherdress, falls in love with her, much to the despair of Silvius fBert Beuoyl, but all the lovers are happily united at the end. Celia finds her true love in the person of Oliver, Clack Lyons? Orlando's brother, and the rightful due is restored to his throne as Duke Frederick abdicates. Other outstanding parts were played by Rod Bladel, as Touch- stone, the wise clown, and Bonnie Bartlett as Audrey, the country lass with whom he falls in love. Bill Peterson as Iaques, the mel- ancholy philosopher, gave a truly memorable rendition of the famous All The World's A Stage speech. Other cast members, dressed in colorful Shakespearean costume, helped to make the production truly something for the books . CAST Duke Senior ., ,, ,........

The ups and downs of life in the Little family, ruled Cso he thought? by terrible-tempered Ripley Little, indig- nantly and realistically played by Doren Russler, was the theme of The Fighting Littles , the annual Iunior play. Goody Little, Ioan Haskins, is the apple of several eyes-eamong them Ham Ellers, Bob Reeves, the boy next door, and Norman Peel, David l-lennes, who has his eye on getting into Mr. Little's business firm. ln the end, though, l-lam and Goody are back in the groove , as are Filmer Little, Bert Beuoy, and Antoinette, Darlene Iggs- trom, whose interpretations of bashful twelve-year-olds amused and delighted the audiencefespecially when Filmer devoured a whole box of pills to remove the smell of the evil weed from his breath and to impress Antoinette with his toughness, lean Gordon, as Mrs. Little, somewhat bewildered but understanding mother to the fighting Little clan. After a session with the Littler family car, driven by Dicky Harpeddle, Bob Ainsworth, the son of Norman's aunt, Rhoda Larsen, and the antics of Mrs. Harpeddle's egyptian dancer, Virginia Nord- strom, even honey-voiced Henrietta, Bonnie Wisdom, declared that she will have no more to do with Norman. A large and appreciative audience watched this debut of Moline's stage stars of the future . 0l'l0l' IQJ MARLYN ROOT DOROTHY SWANSON BARBARA MURCHIE WILLIAM FRIEDEN Ianuary Valedictorign Ianuary Salutatorian lune Valedictcrian Iune Salutatoria Icznuary lune Robert F.

The choir was undoubtedly one ot the most active organizations in high school. lts first major public ap- pearance was at the Union Thanksgiving Services at the Scottish Rite Cathedral. As a highlight ot the Christ- mas Vespers program, the choir was arranged in the form ot a giant Christmas tree surmounted by a great shimmering star. Smaller gold and silver stars and pine boughs added to the effect, The group was called up- on to present numbers tor the Ianuary Baccalaureate Service and graduation. One Night of Melody as pre- sented in Ianuary maintained the high standard of the preceding shows and its wide range ot music suited every taste. A special group chosen from the choir, sang be- fore various civic organizations when it was inconven- ient to use the Whole choir. P. T. A. meetings at vari- ous Moline schools, the Moline After Dinner Club anc guests at the Twenty-titth anniversary P, T. A. banque' were entertained by this very capable group. Alsc this was the group that gave the vocal music depart ment's program over WHFB on Moline High School's bi-weekly series ot broadcasts. As spring turned to summer, the choir busied itsel rehearsing for its presentation of Victor Herbert's oper etta The Red Mill . Spare moments were used in pre paring numbers to be presented at Iune graduatior and Baccalaureate. ln order to capably maintain its great number o activities, the choir otticially became a club by elect ing Norman Clayton president, Lauren Stafford vice president, Ruth Walther secretary, and Bonnie Edlunc treasurer.

School's over until another seas- son, and in the meantime we'll do all we can to help carry the load. You put all your thoughts and actions into finishing off this war. That's the BIG thing right now. There are a hundred and one Ways we can back you up . . , jobs of all kinds right here in the Quad-Cities for the summer months. Every day the Dispatch and Times are full of them . . . some of' them 'pay' jobs, and some volunteer jobs like the Red Cross and the scrap and paper drives. And you can rest assured that we'll keep right on buying War Bonds and Stamps with any money we earn! It won't be the usual 'lazy' vacation this year. We realize that everybody on Uncle Sam's team must be in there 'pitching' until the final whistle blows. Sure, it'll mean some personal sacrifices, but chasing laps isn't any picnic, either. You've got plenty on your hands. By comparison, our job seems pretty small. 1 ii-- I-'cxrms Furnish The Food On thousands of farms the country over, high school students are taking over. They are helping to whip the labor and machinery shortages and making it possible for farmers to meet the tremendous food production goals. Backing up the farm workers, the far- tlung Iohn Deere dealer-branch house organ- ization is working without letup to provide prompt service on repair parts, dependable overhauling, and assistance in many other ways. Yes, Iohn Deere folks everywhere are giv- ing of their best these days. They feel their responsibility as part of one of America's great producing institutions to protect our second front with every service at their com- mand. They, too, express to Bill and all the other G.l. Ioes their whole-hearted gratitude and pledge their continued 100 per cent sup- port until Victory is won.

First, thanks to Mr. LaVerne Louns- bury of Book of the Year Associates for his valuable ideas and general advice: then to Mr. Norval Tilton of'the Leader Engraving and Printing Company for his technical help: then to the Craftco Cover Company: then to Mr. Iohn Mills of the Dispatch and the Cameo Studio for photographic services: then to all our local business and professional men for their many advertisements. Turning to my M staff associates I wish first to thank Mr. Elof Peterson, faculty ad- visor tor his calm, steadying influence in our many periods of emergency. Then it seems fitting to give public credit to two veterans who came to the rescue of an inexperienced Staff: Don Collinson who, after producing the 1944 M , was still willing to help us in countless ways, and Shirley De Taye with her wealth of Line O' Type experience and initiative.
