For once, we feel very grateful to Mr. Shakes- peare, for his statement has suggested a very adaptable theme. Moline High School is a stage, and the pupils and teachers are the players in a great, living drama. ln the following pages we have tried to catch a little of the spirit of that drama as it has been presented during the past year. We believe that the characterizations have been outstanding, that the action has been unusually fine, and that this has been an ex- cellent performance. We are proud to present the H1937 M , a dramatic resume of life and events at Moline High School. flirectors.. Actors .... Action .... Speaking Parts. . . Mob Scenes ....

He is the guiding and shaping force which must teach and coordinate the individual efforts of the actors so that a single, logical, smooth presentation is given. If the director is good, the play will probably be a success, if the director is not good, the play will be a failure. The directors at Moline High School are outstandingly good. Year after year, Moline receives state and national recognition for some form of scholastic or extrafcurricular activity. Our rating is among the highest of the schools in this part of the stateg our graduates are nearly always among the leaders in the annual competition for college scholarships. This leadership can be traced directly to the ability of Moline's teaching staff. Eflif cient, able, experienced men and women are in every branch of school activity. May we repeat: the success of a play depends upon the ability of the director, and our presentation has been successful. Directors Although Mr. Nutting's off fices at Allendale are only across the street, we seldom see this Hman behind the scenes . This fact does not hinder his popuf larity, however, and there is always a wild outburst of cheerf ing when our superintendent makes one of his infrequent apf pearances in rollfcall. When he isn't managing the Moline Public School system, Mr. Nutting Ends time to add to his famous stamp collection or to go hunting. Another accomplishment for which he is justly famous is his ability to remember students by name. ciministmtion Mr. Crakes, director of our school life, has so many people and things to keep track of that we sometimes wonder how he does it all, yet when some of us uoverworkedn students make our way to his usanctum sancf torumn either because of a sum' mons or with our problems, he not only is ready to listen to us but also seems to always have a good solution. Perhaps his willingness to help accounts for his popularity among the stuf dents. With his speech classes, vis' ual instruction, vocations, senior plays, moving pictures, and golf players, you might think Mr. Lain, our assistant principal, would have something to be concerned about, but he never looks worried. lt might be because the student body buoys him up UD but secretly, we think it's that little black f haired daughter he has at home. Whzrtever Mr. Lain does, though, he does well, and his popularity increases with every activity he leads.

Sk Actors PAGE 16 lczsses V Perhaps some explanation is needed. In the following pages, the Seniors have been classified as the major characters, the Juniors as the minor characters, and the Sophomores as understudies. In this classification, the entire class has been considered, not the individuals within the class. Many Juniors and Sophomores have had more of an outstanding part in this production than some Seniors have had. However, the Seniors have headed most of the activities and events of the school year, and several of the activities have been entirely the work of Seniors. Line O' Type, M , Civics and Dramatic Clubs, and other important high school functions have been headed by and largely composed of Seniors. It would be unusual if it were otherwise. The classification of the Juniors and Sophomores has been more from the usual interpretation of the meanings of minor character and understudy . Often, a minor character is an understudy or vice versa, but the popular conception probably would place any character in a more important position than that of an understudy. Juniors are the more prominent because they have had more of a chance to get into extra curricular activities and to become known to the students than have the Sophomores, who are really just getting started. For this reason, the Juniors are classed as minor characters and the Sophomores as understudies. Each of the classes has handled its part very capablyg un' doubtedly each will produce real major stars in time. We congratulate and commend each of them for their fine work during the past year. Seniors Applause, curtain calls, flowers, enthusiastic critics: they all belong to these two hundred fifty major stars. Taking leading roles in almost all of the school activities, the members of the graduating class must be given a huge share of the credit for the achievements of the various school departments during the past year. Seven members of the football team, three members of the basketball team, the officers of nearly all the clubs, the presidents of the Literary and Athletic Associations, major oflicers of the Line O3 Type, all members of the staff, captains of most of the athletic squads, important members of forensic teams: all were Seniors. The class, as a class, was equally outstanding, giving as proof of its prowess an informal, most enjoyed Senior Kermis masquerade party, a well presented Senior Class play, jonesy, and an unusually fine Senior Ball, highest social event of the season. Perhaps we are prejudiced. We certainly are not pointing out the weak spots of the producf tion, which, incidentally, are supposed to determine the play's strength. We believe, however, that we are justified in our eulogy, for this has been a most out' standing year, and the Seniors have certainly been the major characters.

A glance at their record with its successful junior play, its glamorous Prom, and its several wellfattended parties, shows that these minor stars are sofcalled only because of tradition. Juniors were leaders in nearly all of the activities of the school. Showing their Hollywood instincts , the Juniors presented a most elaborate -IuniorfSenior Prom in the form of a Swing Club , with plenty of rhythm and glamour. Several of the Junior girls also assured the success of the presentation by bringing Senior boys along. This seems to be a habit of Junior girls. The class play, 'LThe Late Christopher Bean , was one of the outstanding presentations of the year. Dawn Vermeulen was especially good as the patient victimized Abbie, who wins a fortune in the end. These and other activities show us that we have a very promising outlook for next year, when these Juniors will have taken over the leading control of the staffs and teams-when these Juniors will be the 'iMajor Stars of another outstanding production.

Although not in the same way, nothing in the realm of this high school is as baff fling as this class of 1939 and 1940. They came down to high school fresh Cin more ways than onel, eager, and selffconfident, qualities which Sophomores aren't especially supposed to have. We usually think of Sophomores as green, little squirts that get lost going around from class to class, but these youngsters managed to get around to a lot of places besides mere classes. Though a great deal of their activity has been as understudies , helping on staffs or teams while the upperfclassmen starred, they have shown the ability to pinchfhit very capably when a chance was given them. Within their own realm of activity, these Sophof mores have really shone , Their parties can be compared to only a premier , and their record in football and basketball compares favorably with that of the varsity squads. They promise to take over a large portion of the heavy parts next year and to make the class of 1938 really step to keep them out of the leads .

CLIFF PETERSON CARL PEARSON ELSIE FLICK In the fall of 1920, a Mr. Senneif came to Moline as coach. Since that time, Moline has had an enviable record in athletics. Several times we have had almost perfect records, but the climax was reached this year when our football team went through the entire season undefeated and the basketball team went to the state for the fourth year in succession. Not all the credit can be given to Coach Senneff, however, for his three stooges, Potter, Bean, and Lane are very capable, and are responsible for a great deal of the individual training the boys receive. Bean as line coach and Potter and Lane as Sophomore coaches give more of their time to the individual training of the boys in the fundamentals, while Senneff works out the trick plays and attends to the finer points as timing, screening, and faking. We must also mention Moline's famous manager, Winnie Holmgren, who takes care of the equipment and arranges the schedules for our teams. It is largely through his efforts that we have been able to get such teams as New Trier, Mason City, Beaumont, Proviso, and Decatur to come to Moline for games. Largely under the leadership of Mr. Holmgren is a group of students known as the Athletic Board of Control which looks after the interests of the students in the Athletic Association. These representatives are chosen each year, one from each class, and they select the cheer leaders, arrange for the awarding of letters to team members, and help Mr. Holmgren in his ticket sales and other business. Members of this Board are pupils usually interested in athletics, who have formed definite ideas as to what they want in these matters. Officers of the Athletic Association this year: Clifford Peterson, presidentg Carl Pearson, vicefpresidentg Elsie Flick, secretary. oczclmeg Staff SENNEFF BEAN POTTER LANE HOLMGREN FRED ALLEN, Boa MASSEY, STAN TRAPKUS, FRANK HENss. oys' Tennis In tennis, Hainline and his mates of Rock Island were too much for the aspiring young Maroon net stars, but we placed second to Rock Island in the QuadfCity race. The fall team was made up of Paul Barclay, Alfred Red Rumberg, Seymour Deutch, Latimer Johns, and Marty Williams, all of whom graduate this year. Mr. Holmf gren, the coach, is thankful only for the fact that Hainline graduates, too. UV The fall division of Moline High's golf team was made up of the following members: Stan Trapkus, 1936 Caddy Champion of Arsenal, Bob Massey, District representative at the 1936 State Tournament, Fred Allen, and Frank Henss. The team was rather successful, placing second in the N. W. C., tying in a duel meet with East Moline, and losing to Kewanee, 6 to 5. Trapkus and Massey promise to Wipe up the opposition next year, and it's quite possible that they may do so for they should gain valuable experience in tournaments this summer. MARTIN WILLIAMS, LATIMER JOHNS, PAUL BARCLAY, SEYMOUR DEUTCH. PAGE 57 PAGE Girls' Sports Under the auspices of the Girls' Athletic Association, girl sport enthusiasts, in each of the . classes, organized and trained girls' basketball teams. Starting early in November, the girls practiced and trained throughout most of the school year, it seemed, reporting to the gymf e 07' nasium almost every night for games between pickup or dehnitely chosen teams. ozsketboll After several weeks of this practice the class teams were chosen from the best players. Class team capf tains were Jeanne Miller, Sophomoreg Helen Zawada, Junior, and Frances Aldene, Senior. The tournaf ment was outstanding, this year, for no one won. Both the Junior and the Senior teams won two games and lost one, each defeating the Sophomores once and each other once. The tournament Enally ended in a draw, as the Junior and the Senior teams finished the final game tied 33 to 33. No awards were made beyond those of the knowledge of victory and the benefits of supervised exercise. An admission price of five cents was charged for the tournament games, and many rabid fans disturbed late stayers with their husky cheers. zmior Top row: Veva Anderson, Anita Lethin, Elsie Flick, Bernice Fredericks.

The leading roles were played by Captains Beryl Anderson, Anita Lethin and Geraldine Lewis, who led their teams through the many merry moe ments of play. No tournament was held but the three evenlyfmatched teams had many good, hardffought battles before the curtain fell on the 1936 season.

Volleyball Girls' sports ended this year with an eight weeks session of volleyball. Alf though no tournament was held, the girls greatly enjoyed the nightly sesf sions of stiff play. Captains were chosen for each session and they chose the teams for the night. No class girls intermingled classes and groups as they played on a different team each night. Since the girls were playing for the fun and exercise of the game, no intense enthusiasm was felt outside of the gym, but the results justified the time spent. The games were held under the direction of Miss McElroy, girls' gym director. Top row: Elsa Larson, Helen Markovitch, Veva Anderson, Anita Lethin.

PAGE 50 PAGE 60 iris' Sports, Tennis In contrast to the other girls' sports, tennis called for only a few characters. After an informal tournament among G. A. A. tennis enthusiasts, Marilyn Tillberg was selected to be our repref sentative in the Northwest Conference meet. A doubles team was also chosen, but due to unavoidable circumstances the squad was unable to compete in the tournament and disintegrated from lack of competition. Interest in the girls' part of Northwest Conference competition has just begun to be felt in Moline. Perhaps, in the near future, we may see as many girls trying for places as there are boys on the basket' ball squad. just now, however, very little enthusiasm can be detected. Above: Anita Lethin, Marilyn Tillberg, Jane Brown. In front: Virginia H. Johnson, Marcella Blohm, Helen Peterson. I nzfmmuml Basketball Close to ninety enthusiastic sophof mores, juniors, and seniors reported to the field house in the early days of February to let off a little of their un' ruly pep by playing intramural basket' ball. The group was divided into twelve teams, each captained by a senior boy. After several weeks of play, during which the teams which lost two games were eliminated from play, Jack Sundine and Jack Trevor met in the finals and Trevor's team won the game and the championship. Massey seemed to be the star for the champions while Captain Sundine shone for the losers. Top vow: Richard Martens, Robert Massey, Bob Kropp, J. R. Miller.

An undefeated football team, a Sectional Championship basketball team, and a recordfbreaking track squad can mean only that Moline High School athletics have been outstanding. Part of this has been due to the ability of the coaches, part due to the prowess of the athletes, themselves, and a great part has been due to the interf est and support of the students of Moline High School. Whether inspired by the cheerleaders, the team, or the excitement of the games, cheering and attendance reached lofty heights at many of the conf tests. Below are those hardfvvorking, agile enthusiasts, M. H. S.'s most ardent sport fans, the cheerleaders. THORNBLOOM JOHNSON STOEHR PAGE 61 This year's football record can hardly be overemphasized We were not defeated, we were not tied. We were North west Conference Champions, QuadfCity Champions, and could have laid a claim to the mythical state championship. Two Moline players, Cliff Peterson and Carl Hamilton, were given places on the AllfState football squad. This year's football record will be hard to equal. MOLINE 20 CLINTON 7 The Maroons, opening a most dramatic season, traveled to Clinton, Iowa, and trounced the River Kings 20 to 7. This game, as a dress rehearsal for the conference games which followed, gave advance notice of our inten- tions to come through the season undefeated. MOLINE 37 MONMOUTH 7 Two thousand five hundred Moline fans watched a conf vincing rout of Monmouth's illfomened gridfironers as the Plows ground out a 37 to 7 victory, their start toward the N. W. C. title. Scorers were Peterson Ctwicej, Masengarb, Lindley, Anders, and Sandler, who converted on all five extra point trials.

Moline's kicking was outstanding, with Masengarb averaging better than 50 yards on three kick' offs, and Marlier outdistancing Galesburg with a 38fyard average in punts. Peterson and Lindley were the scorers. MOLINE 33 KEWANEE O Moline invaded Kewanee and trounced the Boilermakers 33 to O while Moline fans were enjoying a spectacular dis' play of lateral and forward passes. Peterson, Masengarb, Fiems, and Lindley ran rings around anything Kewanee could put up in the way of defense, while Kewanee's backs were being laid low by Molinels powerful line. PAGE 63 MOLINE 15 ROCK ISLAND O Here, Moline ran into some rugged opposition in the form of Romanoski and Co. The supposedly weak Islanders turned out to be quite troublesome and gave Moline a real fight for four full quarters. The defensive work of Masenf garb saved the evening. A bit of great substituting by M0line's dependable Rurnberg aided greatly after Lindley was injured. Incidentally, The Red crossed the chalk line for one of the touchdowns. A MOLINE 32 EAST MOLINE 6 Moline was invited to inspect the new East Moline Soule Bowl and proved to be a very un' welcome guest by drubbing East Moline 52 to 6. It was a case of a perfect working machine against a few individual stars. Although Moline added another game to the win column, they lost the services of their scrappy guard, Bud Lindahl, who fractured his arm and was lost for the rest of the season. PAGE 64 ootbvzll JAEGER MCLEAN U. HOLMES IRWIN HENSS ootbczll SMITH ANDERSON PFBTZING WARREN WENDLING JOHNSON MOLINE 29 KANKAKEE 0 After a recordfbreaking parade through the streets of Rock Island and Moline, and a ban- quet in which the MfMen's Association played host to some 150 former letter winners, the Maroons greeted the former stars by trouncing Kankakee 29 to O. Clauson, Kanka- kee's overgrown fullback, proved very trouble- some in the first part of the game, but the burden of Moline's attack was too much for him and he left the game in the second quar- ter. This victory was especially appreciated since, last year, Moline lost to New Trier on MfMen's Day, 9 to O. MOLINE 14 BEAUMONT 6 Moline brought to a close one of their most brilliant seasons on the gridiron by defeating Beaumont of St. Louis, Missouri, on Thanksgiving Day, before a crowd of ive thousand people. Hopelessly outclassed during the first half, and with the score 6 to 0 against them, the Maroons came back and, in the second half, gave Beaumont a taste of their own medicine. Fighting with everything to gain and nothing to lose, they overpowered the opponents and handed Beaumont its first and only defeat. Late in the third quarter, Peterson cut off tackle for 57 yards on one of the season's most spectacular runs, then Masengarb finished the day by scoring on the old statue of liberty . Sandler converted both times to cinch victory and an unblemished season. PAGE 65 Sophomore ootbozll Under the direction of Coaches Potter and Lane, the Sophomores finished this season very successf fully, as they have finished most others. While most of the fans were watching the varsity football squad in its undefeated march, the Sophs were quietly winning game after game. Undefeated until the last day Of the tournament, the youngsters manf aged to tie for the championship of the QuadfCity league. Davenport, always a tough team tO beat, defeated us 12 tO O in the closing game and spoiled our until then spotless record. Stars of the team seemed to be the Crendorff twins, Trevor, Fuller, Fredrickson, and Graflund, but no one person could be classed as outstanding. This shows the unity Of the team, probably a large factor in their vicf torious advance. Swain Fredrickson was not present when the picture was taken. The scintilf lating background for the picture was furnished by the curtain used in the john Deere Centennial celef bration.

Simon Legreel' Bean started his track hopefuls early in March with the intention of making a track team out of them. This was accomplished as far as the cinder trotters were concerned, but the team was woefully weak in the Held events. Moliiae placed fourth in the Geneseo Carnival with 26 points, and followed this with a sixth place in the Davenport Relays. However, let's come from backstage and enter the limelight. Moliiie defeated her old' time rival, East Moliiae, by a score of 61M to ZSVZ at the meet held in Moliiie's huge Field House. Also, they gave stage fright to the Rock Island men, but the meet ended 64 to 63, Rock Island. The team placed third in the QuadfCity meet, third in the N. W. C., and second in the District meet. Moli11e's halffmile relay team made up of Fiems, Schroeder, Ivlasengarb, and Anders CFlipj, held the center of the stage in most meets. This team will probably long be ref membered as the fastest relay team in Moliiie High School history. They ran the district race in 1133.8 seconds, setting a new District record, and followed this with a third in the state finals with 1 :31.2. Captain Don Schroef der was the leading character in the Ivlaroon production, Cinders in Your Eyes , running the century in the District record time of 10.1 seconds. m ck CROSSCOUNTRY Something new in the way of sports was introduced this year in the Northwest Conference, so new, in fact, that no oflicial record was kept. We find, however, that Moliiie took third place in the N. W. C. meet, and second in the QuadfCity meet. Above: Charles Eawks, Winston Day, Herbert Ivluehlhausen.

PAGE 67 Moline continued its reign over the Northwest schools and the QuadfCities by winning first place in both conferences in varsity basketball as well as in the sophomore races, and came close to setting a record when Moline was one of the sweet six' teen in the state for the fourth consecutive year. After three days of practice, the maroon warriors met Fulton on the Field House floor and suffered defeat. Although the score, 17 to 15, would indicate a very hard fought game, to the Maroon followers it was not so. After our football season, a defeat at the hands of a supposedly weaker team was hard to take. However, development was steady and one week later Moline, led by Fran Marlier, sucf ceeded in trouncing the Boilermakers of Kewanee by the score of 20 to 34. On December 18, Moline met one of its deadliest rivals, Rock Island, on the Augustana hardwoods. Here Moline proved the worth of having capable substitutes, for when Moline's regulars were hav' ing a tough time finding the hoop, Coach Senneif rushed in Jack McDannell, undersized forward, and Jack Sandler, husky center, who proved to be the only Moline basketball players of the evening. Each garnered eight points to save the day, Moline carrying a 20 to 18 victory out of the tussle. Following the Rock Island game, Moline had things pretty much their own way, taking the next eight games. On New Year's Eve, Moline handed a Davenport quintet the worst shellacing that Coach Moon has had to witness in his career as director of the Blue Devil cagers. Everything Mol' ine threw in the general direction of the ,basket was marked up as two points, while the Moonmen had a very hard job breaking Moline's defense and could ring up only thirteen points for the entire evening. PAGE 68 Basketball PETERSON MARLIBR LINDLBY Basketball RILEY ANDBRS MCDANNBLL ,...A.- --. The final score Ca thirtyfpoint lead, take noteb was 43 to 13. Next to fall before the powerful Maroon quintet was the oldftime rival, East Moline. After playing a miserable brand of ball during the first half and trailing by a score of 13 to 5, Moline came back and put on a new drive the second half and emerged the victors by a score of 35 to 27. Then, Moline played host to a new team on the Field House floorg new to the fans, although Moline had met up with them on two different occasions at the state tournament. Moline was very rude to Quincy when they defeated their guests by a score of 45 to 18. On January 15, Galesburg's Silver Streaks came to the Plow City and were handed the same kind of a welcome, a defeat, 33 to 27. Moline then accepted an invitation to visit Quincy, and repeated their former act by defeating the Quincy Cagers 27 to 22. Moline played the same trick on her next opponent, Monmouth, inviting them here and administering an 49 to 18 beating. V , - The following week, Moline was again able to prove the value of substitutes when we visited the Boilermaker city and played Kewanee on their floor. Capt. Cliff Peterson, Moline's ace guard, had been ailing for a few days and Coach Senneff decided to let him rest. He inserted Duke Holmes in Cliff' s place, and Duke, a sixffooter in Kewanee's f'cheesef box gym, was able to cover the back court ,very nicely with little effort on his part. Moline sucf ceeded in squeezing out a 36 to 26 victory. February 5, Moline again met up with Rock Island, but this time we forged ahead to a 40 to 28 victory. The following week the MfMen played host to the Proviso team from Maywood and did every' thing but play them. This, they left to the Maroon PAGE 69 youngsters. Previous to this game, some dopesters had picked Proviso as the 1937 state champions, while others had picked Moline. Thus, the eyes of the state sporting world were turned briefly to the Moline Field House. The first half of the game was a nip and tuck affair with Capt. Cliff Peterson doing the most of Moline's scoring. The half ended with Proviso in the lead, 13 to 12. During the second half, however, Proviso increased her lead steadily, largely through the control of the tipfoif by Cronin, Proviso's 6 foot 5 inch center, and the work of Heilman and Mizen. Heilman will long be ref membered by Moline fans for his deadly long shots. The game ended with Proviso as victor by a score of 35 to 25. Moline continued its winning streak once again when they played a return engagement against East Moline and were able to come out on the right end of a 36 to 21 score. Followers of the Maroons were given quite a jolt when on February 19, Galesburg's Silver Streaks handed Moline its third setback of the year, but the following day, Moline returned home and played host to the defending state champions, Decatur, and heaped revenge upon Capt. Parks and his lads by thrashing them, 38 to 24. On February 26, Moline met up with Davenport again on the Blue Devils' floor and was able to pull a29 to 20 victory out of the fire and also cause a total eclipse of the Moon CCopy., E. P. Nutting, '37D for the first time in many years. Moline wound up its regular season against Mon' mouth on the latter's home floor and gave the Maple City quintet a 30 to 14 lashing. PAGE 70 Basketball WARREN HOLMES Basketball SANDLER MASENGARB HAMILTON REGIONAL TOURNAMENT Moline drew the upper and the harder of the two brackets while East Moline chose the lower. Mol' ine successfully stowed away Rock Island for the third time in one seasong East Moline rushed through her bracket in fine style but lost to Moline in the finals. SECTIONAL TOURNAMENT Due to the state basketball ruling, both Moline and East Moline entered the Sectional held in the huge Moline Field House. Both teams again breezed through their pairings, Moline packing away Fulton, the team that defeated us in the initial game of the season. Again we found it necessary to defeat the Orange and Black cagers, and thereby win the sectional crown. STATE TOURNAMENT Tournaments are funny things. Proviso beat usg Dundee beat Proviso, and we had to play Dundee in the first round of the State meet. Critics were picking the winner of this game to be State Champi' ons and, when we won 25 to 24, there was, naturally, great rejoicing in Moline. The school practically moved to Champaign to see our next game with Decatur. Since we had already defeated Decatur by a convincing score, our hopes were exceedingly high, but - - - ! Decatur got an early lead of a few points and proceeded to stall for the rest of the game. Our hopes for state championship ended, 14 to 11, and the students came sadly homeward with only the hopes of another year to cheer them. PAGE 71 Sophomore osketbcz!! The Moline youngsters, under the watchful eye of Coach Potter, had a no less glamorous season than the varsity basketeers. The lineup, which changed considerably during the trend of the season, conf tained such stars as: Hankins, Pearson, Conrad, Anderson, Wendling, Kolifitis, and the Orendorlf twins. Although facing some keen opposition, the team was able to get nine wins against only four defeats. One of these defeats was acquired at the hands of Port Byronls varsity squad and then only by a margin of six points, the final score being 33 to 27. The Maroon youngsters also duplicated the feat of the older Maroons when they succeeded in win' ning titles in both the Northwest Conference and the QuadfCity races. Dec. Dec. Dec. Jan. Jan. Jan.

Literary C ovzches Miss Ella Cockrell, head of the English department, is always interested in anything or any person per' taining to publications. Thanks to her help, many students have gone through the first stages of be' coming honestftofgoodness reporters. Besides ad' Vising the school paper, Miss Cockrell business manages the junior and senior plays and stirs the Literary Association into action. Miss Barbara Garst is a true friend and a great help to anyone interested in debate or dramatics Cespecially if they present her with pictures of Garboj. Upon Miss Garst's shoulders falls the greater share of the dramatic work. September through March, she struggles hopefully with the debate team, which this year, all thanks to her, won second place honors at the Augustana Debate Tournament. Besides coaching debate, Miss Garst coaches three of the major productions of the year: the junior play, the A.D.C. most anything, and the Dramatic Club play. Thanks to her insistence upon promptness and exact' ness, each of her plays proves to be a bigger success than the last one. Nonchalantly but surely, Mr. Lain directs great things from the depths of his comfortable swivel chair. With the utmost ease, he calmly directed declaimers, orators, and extempors to top place honors in N.W.C. competition. Senior plays are also sucf cessfully produced under his deliberate supervision.

V COCKRELL GARST LAIN RUECKERT HRusovAR HARPER President Vicefllresident Sec1'eta1yfT'reasu're'r The Literary Association directs literary activities, for the most part, from the vantage point of backstage, ringing the curtain up and down at proper times and being on hand with the cues. It also has charge of the ticket office, however, placf ing all the returns in a common literary fund. Due to lack of student interest, many of the i forensic contests had to be supf ported by the association. The directing group of the associaf tion consists of the officers and two board of control members from each class. Members of the association are those who have bought literary tickets, thereby gaining admittance to all forensic events as well as receiving the Line O'Type. The responsibility of carrying the association through this act seemed to rest easily on the shoulders of Bill Rueckert, this year's president. Phyllis Holtz presided efficiently at the ticket oflice in the role of student manager. All forensic events had to be planned by this group, for the association sponsors these activities. Beside the annual choosing of the next year's Line O'Type editor and business manager, obviously a grave business, this year brought the additional problem of doing justice to the twentieth anniversary of the Line O'Type. Then, in May, came the yearly Literary banquet attended by all speakers, writers, and adfgetters, when merit pins were awarded to the deserving. With this affair, the association rang down the final curtain on this year's performances.

SENNEFF HOLMES Fiscmza KRONE HARTBR HANKINS Literary Association PAGE 75 PAGE 76 xtemlbomneous Speaking Extemporaneous speaking is probably the most nervefracking of the four forensic activities. The contestants must be prepared on ten or twelve different subjects, each of them dealing with some contemporary national or international problem. The contestants draw three subjects, choose one of them, and retire to locked rooms in which they have nothing but pencils and blank paper with which to prepare a speech. That hour spent alone has been known to drive people nuts Clook at Bill Rueckertj. Ten students, most of them members of the special extemp class, participated in the local contest. The four chosen to repref sent Moline included Marjorie Baumgarten, Bill Rueckert, Myrna Fischer, and Leo Henrickson. This team competed in a dual meet with Rock Island, which they lost by a large margin. Marjorie, winner of first place in the local contest, represented us in the Northwest Conference Meet and managed to bring back third place honors. Rock Island, as usual, received first place. Although the team mem' bers were not entirely sucf cessful from the won and lost viewpoint, they received several direct and indirect benefits from the study of the problems. Subjects this year included Armamefnt, Supreme Court, Relief, Spam, and Conservaf tion. Team members rated very high in Civics, due to the knowledge gained from the intense study necessary in extemp. Two members of the team, Myrna Fischer and Leo Henf rickson, will be back for come petition next year, a fact which brightens the outlook for next year considerably. The extemp class, too, always provides good material for teams. BAUMGARTBN RUECKERT Fiscmzn HBNRICKSON Girls' eclmmztion First scene of the fourfpart Forensic drama was classed as Girls' Declamation, a fine opening number. The team which represented Moline was chosen through two elimination tryfouts: hrst, a rather informal appearance in which the girls gave a short reading of their own choosing, second, the local contest of eight girls in which they gave memorized declamations on the stage. In this contest, Marion Odell received Hrst place, Marjorie Batchelor, second place, and Virginia Johnson, third place. Arline Swanson, Myrna Fischer, and Arline Anderson also succeeded in making the team. As a team, the girls did not fare so well, losing to both Rock Island and East Moline. Marion Gdell, as the school's official representative, appeared in the Northwest Conference meet held on our stage. Giving her declamaf tion, The Story of a Madf man , with the aid of a most ghastly appearing makefup Csee snapshot sectionj, she succeeded in attaining second place. Rock Island, famed for its gifted speakers, took Hrst place and East Moline, third. Marion says that she so thorf oughly 'Llived her reading, that she dreamed of going mad herself a few nights later. In order to stir up a little enthusiasm among the high school students, Bill Rueckert, President of the Literary Asf sociation, called upon the girls to give a brief portion of their memorized speeches before the assembled student body dur' ing roll call one morning. As a result of this advertising, almost one hundred Moline students attended the Conf ference meet, and came away well repaid by the efforts of the girls. GDBLL JOHNSON ANDERSON BATCHELOR Fiscman SWANSON PAGE 77 l PAGE 78 oys' mtmfy l The scene changes. Oratory, an allfstar masculine production, next faced the footlights. Tryfouts revealed real talent and ten lads were cast for the local contest, in which four, unfortunately, had to be eliminated. The six superspeakers chosen to represent Moline High as a team were Dick Pettit, who rated Brstg Bill Rueckf ert, second, Neil Danberg, third, Latimer Johns, Russell johnson, and Leo Henrickson. Moline's first battle in the triangular meet was with Rock Island. Much hope and confidence accompanied the boys when they went to meet our greatest rivals, but as luck would have it, we lost by a very close margin, Bill Rueckert placing second and Dick Pettit, third. Again fate stepped in, when Moline took on the next comer, East Moline. Our boys did well, but East Mo' line did us one better , Neil Danberg being the only one to place for Moline. Neil placed third. Bill Rueckert represented Moline in the Northwest Conference meet. Bill really went to town with his emphatic message, A Way of Life , and brought back the title of third best , among the six schools comf peting. The outlook for next year is none too bright, for only two team members will return. i RUBCKERT PETTIT DANBBRG JOHNS JOHNSON HENRICKSON Debate Resolved: That the government should own and operate all electric utilities. Debate proved to be the hit of the season , this year. It drew a greater interest and a larger audience than any other forensic performance. This may be largely due to the fact that Civics and English classes were compelled to attend, but many lesser classmates turned out to hear these battles of wit . Twelve debaters made up the practice team that debated nearly every night for experience. Six of them were finally chosen for the Varsity team. They were, Myrna Fischer, Marjorie Baumf garten, Bill Rueckert, Leo Henrickson, Latimer johns, and James St. Clair. All in all, the team com' peted in twentyfsix debates. They made an excellent bee ginning in a series of debates held at Augustana College. Twentyffive schools of the Middle West competed. The debating continued for two days, the contestants taking on one team after another, one being eliminated after each debate. One of the highflights of the contest was Moline's spectacular victory over Davenport in the semif finals, which put Moline in the finals with Elgin and Iowa City. Elgin placed first, Moline, second, and Iowa City, third. For this, the Moline team received a cup, the first ever won by Moline High for any extraf curricular activity outside of of sports. The Northwest Conference resulted in a triple tie for first, with Moline placing fourth. RUBCKERT HENRICKSON BAUMGARTEN FISCHBR JOHNS ST. CLAIR PAGE 79 BUSINESS STAFF Line 0'Typ The school paper is, in itself, a play that Hholds the mirror up to nature and shows the school her own image. Editor Richard Pettit and his staff worked consistently toward this end-that of making the paper a true reflector of the life of Moline High School. One inf novation that sent the paper along toward its goal was the student contribution column, 'iWhat Do You Think About It , a mirror of current student opinion. A bit of dash was added to the paper during the football season by the appearance of a series of gridiron action shots. The sports stories, the edif torials, and Pappy's dirt column, Pixilation , reflected, and also inf fluenced, school trends. Long before the month of March had started its engagement here, the memorable twentieth anniversary celebration of the LINE O'TYPE was being planned and prepared. Fred Eldean, first editor of the LINE O'TYPE, had encircled March 12 on his calendar early in the year, and, direct from New York City, he ap' peared to be cofsharer of honors with Judge Albert Crampton, Erst business manager. Mr. Nutting presided as toastmaster, and prepared the stage for each speaker. Miss Julia Gettamy, first advisor to the LINE O'TYPE, and Miss Ella Cockrell, present sponsor, also appeared in leading roles. Beside each dinner plate, silently waiting to be exclaimed over, were the real stars of the occasion: the first issue of the LINE O'TYPE, and the 1937 anniversary edition.

CAST With such a brilliant, selffassured detective as Jack Sundine, it seems strange that it took three acts to find the murderer of Richard Fleming, yet we can't blame him very much.

Jack really turned in an excellent piece of acting, fooling even the stage hands until the last scene. The trouble began when Aunt Cornelia, seeking the peace and quiet of the country, rented the Fleming mansion from Richard Fleming, son of the owner of a bank from which several thousand dollars in currency had been taken. The cashier, Brooks, who is in love with Aunt Cornelials niece, is accused of stealing the money and, in order to clear himself, he comes out to the Fleming mansion to search for a hidden room in which he bef lieves the money has been placed.

Under the direction Of Miss Garst and the Latin Department, Dido and Aeneas became one of the most beautiful presentations of the year- Against a background of light blue, with flame topped columns as decorations, girls and boys of the Latin and music departments danced, 1 sang, and acted in a very lovely manner. The story of the play was the wellfknown romance of Aeneas, wandering Trojan prince, and Dido, queen of Carthage. Driven by fate from Troy, Aeneas lands at Carthage, his ships wrecked and his men discouraged. Gracious Dido invites them to stay and Cupid, halffbrother of Aeneas, causes her to fall in love with the Trojan. Aeneas' struggle between love and duty, CAST Jupiter's command that he should leave, his departure, and Dido's consequent death at her own hands make up the rest of the tragic story. The acting, heavy and very dramatic, was quite ably handled by members of the Latin classes. Dido, queen of Carthage ,....,..... MAXINB SEIBERT Anna, her sister .....,........

It is even easier to understand why he was so tempted to keep Abbie's picture, worth about 325,000 You see, the late Christopher Bean, a rather idealistic, impressionable artist, had left his pictures to Abbie, veteran 'ihired help at the Haggetts, because she was the only one who appreciated his art.

A surge of art speculators, a feverish hunt for pictures, and a touch of romance between a local artist and the quiet sister served to enliven the action. The climax comes when Abbie admits that she has married Chris Bean and that the pictures are hers because of this. As the play ends she leaves with her pictures, driven away by the greediness of the Haggett family.

The Girls' After Dinner Club made its most popular hit of many seasons in the production, The Senior Sallies of 1937 . Although under the general direction of Miss Garst, the girls produced the show themselves and demonstrated that they do have talent.

Many students missed a hilarious Senior play when they attended the State Basketball Tournament. The story of the play started when Hjonesyn, a troublesome young 0726531 fellow about twenty years of age, succeeded in taking a girl in a local stock company out to lunch. Papa and mama Jones hastily jumped at conclusions and papa at once went to see the cheap actress and per' suade her not to seduce their loving son. To make matters worse, jonesy lost the family car in a poker game, and had to do some tall story telling at home.

After a fight between Mr. Jones, Mr. Silverburg, and a policeman, and a telephone conversation in which jonesy tells Mr. jackson where to head in , the happy ending comes as a relief. The play ends as the actress hooks Jonesy , Mildred hooks Billy Morgan, and Mr. Jones hooks his contract with Mr. Jackson.

Opening with an elaborate Streets of Parisl' prologue featuring that glittering chorus of graceful, dancing girls, the Fellowship Miiistrels again closed the Dramatic C71 activities of the year with a bang and a song. Outstanding in the prologue were Dick MCCUIIC, whistlerg Johns and Williams, Two Boys with Their Tmmboiiesf-and a story about a little rabbit, and Mr. jones with his German band and songs. The Ivlinstrel proper featured an unusually large array of talent, with seven ballad singers and eight end Inen. Outstanding in this ellowslfzlb M i nstifels part were jack Holmes as the Kid in the Three Cornered Pants, Park Avenuel' Thorngren, Franny Marlier, and Baldy Day. As in previous years, the Miiistrels brought out a full house and great billows of applause. A bouquet Of carrots, radishes, and celery given by the A.D.C. girls was greatly enjoyed by cast members after the performance. A Inad scramble for pennies also featured several of the numbers. Credit for the success of this presentation must be given to Phil Lieon, director Of both prologue and Minstrels proper, and to the talented boys of the Senior Class of 1937.

The club, as always, justified its existence by creating new friendships and developing new abilities while the senior lasses worked and played together. Each regular meeting called for program' planning, speakers, decorations, and advertising, so every girl had a chance to wget a part . Came the Senior Salliesn, climaxing all activity. Enterprising members of the club, casting about for some version of the annual drama that would set apart the 1937 A.D.C., had conceived the idea of presenting the Moline High School Girl. With that theme, the girls of the L'Sallies frolicked and sang themselves straight into the hearts of their record' breaking audience. Long before the final curtain, critics, usually hard to please, were acclaiming the production for its cleverness and originality.

PAGE 91 PAGE 92 Underclassmen CSophomores and juniorsj hold the Civics Club much in awe, for it suggests things mysterious, erudite, and lofty: governmental policies, presidential preferential primaries, and civic good deeds. However, seniors found such a scholarly atmosf phere not too difficult, and enjoyed thoroughly a City Council meeting, a court sitting, and a visit to the county ofhces. Special days frequently found club members per' forming on the roll call stage, and valiant is the word for them, a civic program which is not boring to the ordinary high school student demands careful prepf aration. Following out its purposes, the Civics Club sent a selected committee out to work with the city com- mittee in the Beautify Moline campaign. The 12B's were offered the ticket of admission this year, so it was a full house that applauded speakers at each regular meeting.

This year's band is the largest in the High School's history, being composed of fortyffour members. Not only did the band boast of its size, but also of its varied programs throughout the football and basketball seasons. Besides appearing before the fans at Browning Field and the Field House, the band led the MfMen's Day parade, gave a very success' ful and much appreciated concert in the auditorium, and presented concerts at the Scottish Rites Cathedral and at SevenfAcres for the beneit of the Moline Woman's Club. The band surprised fans at the basketball games by offering Chapel in the Moonlight and Roll Along, Prairie Moon in addition to the usual marches.

This year's Orchestra was not heard very often in public until the last few months of the school year. Nevertheless, the members have labored very indusf triously on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in the Central building trying to overcome the very great handicap of the lack of string instruments. This handicap, however, to the enjoyment of the student body, was directly responsible for the dropping of classical and semifclassical music in favor of popular and standard numbers. Appearances of the Orchestra were very rare, although small groups performed throughout the year at the athletic banquets. The Orchestra, as a whole, assembled and played at the Chamber of Commerce banquet, conducted a very hne program in the audi' torium, and furnished the music necessary for the commencement exercises. The total membership of the Orchestra numbered twentyffive and again, as in previous years, Mr. Barnett was the leader and instructor. rchestm Top row: Davis, Logan, Anderson, Hullman, Bracher, Mr. Barnett, Genz, Shlaes, Rueckert, Carlson.

PAGE 95 Visual Education lub Moline High School holds an enviable position among local schools in the field of visual education. Almost every course includes one or more periods during which Elms or slides are shown to the classes. In charge of the operation and care of the films, slides, and machines is a group of male students, usually fanatics on photography. All classes conf tribute to this group, and the various members receive credits in proportion to the time spent in the task. Each member is given individual instruction in the dependable, efficient, and accurate operation of the machines, and shows films to classes which meet during his study periods. The club is directed partly by Mr. Lain, faculty director, partly by Robert Paul, student director, and partly by the ofhce force.

The purpose of the club is to provide systematic and reliable usher service for all dramatic, athletic, and forensic activities connected with the school. Usher lub The club's most eventful nights were those of the Galesburg football and the Proviso basketball games. In the first game, rain caused all except the ushers and a few umbrellafprotected fans to seek the covered portion of the stands, in the second, a record crowd caused the ushers many minutes of weary fanfherding. The club worked in shifts during the tournaments to assure smooth manipulation each night. In its fourth year of this service, the usher club boasts a regular membership of thirtyftwo, with six alternate ushers. Two meetings were held for the purpose of the electing of officers, the setting up of a system of rules, and the assigning of future duties.

A hike and weiner roast gave early impetus to the scheduled activities, but a rainstorm came up as the Sophomores were being initiated, and sent all damply homeward. The fall play day brought outfofftown troops of girl sport devotees to the local athletic field for games and fun. Team selection for the games succeeded in mingling the various school groups so that newffound friends played with, not against, each other.

PAGE 99 Senior oys' Hi-Y PAGE 100 Entering into the held of social activity with much enthusiasm, some hfteen or twenty senior boys or' ganized the annual senior HifY Club. They asf sembled weekly for their regular argumentative meet' ings in the Y's parlors, taking time occasionally, for a swim or basketball game. The regular monthly feed and several parties helped to keep up the interest. Besides their discussion meetings, the group conf ducted several very interesting campaigns and out' side activities. Without a doubt, the most notable of their efforts was the Safety Campaign. This campaign dealt with safer driving and consisted of lectures, tests on portable machines sent out by the Chicago Motor Club, and an abundance of literature passed out during rollfcall. Late in the spring, the club wowed the school by appearing in flashy maroon polo shirts adorned with the regular HifY emblems.

Since neither the junior nor the Sophomore HifY had enough members to carry on a club alone, the two merged, forming a fine club of some twenty members. The regular joint meetings held each Tuesday night featured several interesting discussions on such sub' jects as Girls , 'jStrikes , L'Liquor , and How to Get the Car . Although the club sponsored no outside campaigns of their own, they played an im' portant part as understudy and helper to the Senior Club, assisting them in their safety campaign. The juniors attended several bowling and swimming parties at the Y, among them, that wellfremembered joint ,luniorfSenior Party on New Year's Eve. Two official representatives were sent by the club to the State Older Boys' Conference held at Danville, Illinois, and several other members attended, sent by churches from this community.

These were to assure the archers that they would not do the one and only most disf graceful, most intolerable act possible: miss the tarf get plus backstop and knock a big chip out of the wall. Requirements for membership are simple: a bow and arrow, free time on Tuesday afternoons, and a lot of patience. Oilicers: Clifford Lyons Cshown in picturej, presif dent, Virginia H.

Each year, the finest singers from the advanced glee clubs are invited by Miss Dunlap to join the choral club. Members once in, usually remain there until graduation releases them, or they find that they need the time and ask to be dropped. The usual member' b ship is sixteen but during the past semester, the ref tention of three second tenors caused the total to be raised to seventeen. Practice was held every night and the constant repetition caused the club to be almost perfect in their renditions. Several performf ances were given, including two over Station WHBF, a concert for the Woineii's Club, and two rollfcall appearances. Each year, just before the Christmas vacation, the club dons its long maroon and white robes and marches through the halls singing Christ' mas carols Csee picturej. The group also sings at the commencement and baccalaureate exercises. In addition to their group singing, members of the club often discuss programs, songs, and singers during their daily rehearsals. Four of the members will be lost this year by graduation.

PAGE 103 Home Economics lub PAGE 104 Tasting spoons and basting thread yielded the foot lights for sociability's sake on meeting nights of the Home Economics Club, and cooks and seamstresses enjoyed real home cooking in friendly collaboration. But anyone of these girls could tell you that a Christ' mas dinner party has its very practical side when one hundred and ten guests must be planned for and fed. Thus, intelligence in quantity buying and preparing of food becomes a part of the training these girls receive. Dresses made by the members often serve for school or party wear and encourage other attempts at 'Lhome economy . Girls are expected to eat their own cooking and soon learn the mysteries of utensils, recipes, and edible ingredients. Prospective house' wives also learn the fundamentals of properly balanced diets and wellfplanned menus, as well as the proper serving technique. The girls entertained proud mothers at a late spring social affair where the spotlight was focused on their exhibit of homefmaking and household arts.

John Deere Gave to the World the Steel Plow THE year was 1857. The place, Grand Detour, Illinois. john Deere, the village blacksmith, had been challenged . . . his friend, Lewis Crandall, had threatened to go back East if you can't build me a plow that'll scour . john Deere was worried, for well he knew that Lewis Crandall's problem was the problem of the bustling West. He had heard the talk of sturdy pioneers up and down the wagon trails. It's the richest soil that lies outdoors, they said. K'But no plow'll ever turn it, once the sod is broken. No need to tinker with the cast-iron and wood plows brought from the East, concluded Deere. Only a plow with a highly-polished surface could scour its way through this sticky soil . . . A highly- polished surface, mused the blacksmith. Fortunate, indeed, that the sun shone brightly the morning john Deere went to the community's sawmill to repair a broken shaft. Its brilliant rays bounced from the polished surface ofa broken saw blade into the alert eyes of john Deere. Wait . . . that's it . . . steel . . . steel for plows . . . no soil could stick to that smooth surface. Day and night he workedfperfecting his great idea . . . building the plow of his dreams. Into the field he took it . . back to his shop for changes . . . out again and back again, until he knew it was right. A memorable day it was when, surrounded by skeptics and well-wishers, john Deere turned a clean furrow with his new steel plow. He had conquered the prairie soil . . . he had made possi- ble the permanent settling of a great agricultural empire. Now, Lewis Crandall could stay and farm his rich acres. Pkvkvlsbkvk Little did john Deere realize that his name was to be burned deep into the history of agricultural progress. Humble, yet proud of his workman- ship . . . he built plows that set the standard of plow quality the world over. I'll never put my name on an implement that hasnit in it the best that is in me, john Deere once said. That was his ruling pride, the ideal which has guided the organization that bears his name today. Eleven great factories, building equipment for every farming operation . . . branch houses in every principal farming area . . . thousands of dealers selling and servicing john Deere goods- these are the living, thriving monuments to the man who gave to the world the steel plow, one hundred years ago.

The educational advantages you have enjoyed were provided at the expense of the community and by the efforts of your parents. The best repayment or expression of appreciation that you can make will be to make the most of your ability and education by using it for your own improvement and for the betterment of the community and the country in which you live. It was for that purpose that this education was provided for you. One further thing is expected of you. When you take the places of your parents as citizens of your community and heads of families, you are asked to provide at least as good educational advantages for the children of that future day as have been pro- vided for you. Remember that free education has not always been free. It was only two or three generations ago that high schools were established against the bitter opposition of selfish, short-sighted interests that advocated education only for the favored few. Those same interests are always ready to destroy or cripple the institution of free public education when the opportunity offers. The men who founded this government well understood that it could endure only if the citizens who control it are enlightened. john Adams clearly expressed their views when he said: The whole people must take upon themselves the education of the whole people, and must bear the expense of it. You are to be congratulated upon your fine school record. May your achievements in later life be equally noteworthy.
