PAGE 8 The success of a play rests directly on the shoulders of the coach or director. 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.

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. PAGE 9
