Winter, and Spring have been chosen as titles for the three main sub- divisions into which the events and activities at Moline High naturally fall. Thus they are presented in a chronological order. ln a year of such tremendous importance both to the individual and to the nation, it was only fitting that We adopt a theme which touched, in at least some way. the present world conflict. The theme chosen is HA Wai' Year at Moline High, We hope that this volume will be treasured in the future as a record of this War year at M. H.

M' M '7 M iuv-W WE HONCDR AN We Hereby Dedicate the '43 M to Lieutenant Charles M. Carpenter A year ago last March Moline High lost one of its favorite and most colorful faculty members. It seemed that a certain Mr. To- jo had dealt himself a crooked hand in a game called War, and our own Uncle Sam needed Carp to help straighten things out. Naturally, under the circumstances, we had to give him up. At the time of this writing, he holds a com- mission as a first lieutenant in the U. S. Ar- my and is in training in the Desert Maneu- ver Area, California. After entering the army Lt. Carpenter was sent as an instructor to the Miami Beach Candidate School where he was praised by the commanding officer for his instruction to trainees on how to be good soldiers. An announcement posted on the bulletin board called him Nan excellent in- structor and an inspiration to all his stu- dents. . . At this point we can whole- heartedly agree for we know what a swell fellow he was at M. H. S. Although originally in training as a gli- der pilot, he has volunteered for duty as a liaison flyer. In the L'Grasshopper Corpsn Lt. Carpenter flies a light plane in co-opera- tion with the Artillery. Flying at a very low altitude over enemy territory, his duty is to direct artillery fire by means of a ra- dio. Learning how to land on highways and fields and hedge-hoppingl' over trees and fences is just part of a day's work to our lieutenant. After training at Miami Beach, Lt. Car- penter was sent to Stuttgart, Arkansas. where he received instruction in the finer points of handling a light plane. At the present time he is engaged in really rough training in the middle of a California desert in preparaton for overseas duty. With a tent for his quarters he lives through hot days and chilly nights on food seasoned with sand and on a limited amount of water for all purposes. As is evidenced by his letters home, army life has little altered his delicate apprecia- tion of the wonders of Nature. He manages to find time in his desert home to notice the beauty of the vast stretches of white sand although his immediate surroundings act as a constant reminder of the war. All stu- dents who were here last spring will recall his letter to the student body, which dealt for the most part with his observations of Nature. We are glad to hear that our lieu- tenant's interests have not become com- pletely military. An American to the core, Lt. Carpenter hopes to be sent overseas soon so that he may take a more active part in the defeat of the Axis and in vanquishing the three bad gremlinsl' whose ignoble persons adorn the cover of this year's MMU. To you, then, Lieutenant Carpenter, may we dedicate this '43 HM in sincere appre- ciation for the good job you have done here at Moline High and for the fine work you are doing there for Uncle Sam. Happy landings, Carp! 11... is the season of changes. Then the trees dot? their green garb for a brilliant, more colorful raimentg and the frisky winds whisk the brightly-colored leaves to and fro. Likewise, Autumn finds M. H. S. and its student body in a period of change. Students old and new alike return to renew old friendships and to make new acquaintances. The rosters of every organization carry the names of new students, and on stage and gridiron specta- tors become acquainted with different faces. Autumn is a season of changes on the fighting fronts of the world. On every field of military activity M. H. S. grads are changing the mettle of things for Hitler and his crew of cut-throats. 'We at home this fall altered our own style of living to the more rigid requirements of wartime in health, education, and service. i i Uar faculty Our Faculty Heads -Dolph Lain, C. R.

S. by our faculty, we found that wartime conditions had greatly altered the substance of our high school life. Courses designed to prepare us for aid to the war effort had been added to the curriculum, and other evidences of war were to be found in nearly every classroom. Not just a few of our city's school system have answered their nation's call to the colors, and all of the others are doing their duty on the home front. Several faculty members have as- sumed responsible positions on local commit- tees directly related to the national welfare. All of the faculty are to be congratulated for the patriotic manner in which they handled the tedious work of registration for the va- rious ration programs which have become a part of our daily life. Heading this fine faculty are Mr. Dolph Lain and Mr. Elof Peterson, who hold the offices of principal and assistant principal, respectively. F ormer-Principal C. R.

Perhaps the most worthy of all senior activities, it uniquely but efficiently combines sociability with the study of civic affairs toward the betterment of our com- munity as a whole. Under the capable spon- sorship of Miss Lind and Miss Day, the stu- dent leaders this year were Norma Dendooven Henry Doyle, Jack Moore, and Robert Craig, President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer respectively. 7 One of the many committees of this Club makes the first official move of an organiza- tion when it conducts their class elections the second week of school. This is the Election Committee, and its members serve the school in that they conduct honest and efficient elec- tions, and they also benefit themselves by learning election procedure. A popular feature of the Club is its trips to places of civic interest. Thus, the members have an opportunity of obtaining first-hand practical knowledge of our city government. One trip this year was the attendance at a meeting of the City Council and an inspection tour of the City Hall. Further educational tours were omitted because of curtailed trans- portation facilities. Another service to the school as a whole is the Clubis providence of programs and speakers for assembly programs on historic days. For example, a talk was given by Police Magis- trate Turnbaugh on Constitution Day. Several members of the Club combined to de- liver a panel discussion on how the high school is building for peace. These students were Norma Dendooven, Dave Kleinman, Bert Ebi, Walf1'ed Peterson, and John Colby. This was given before the Club at the regular meeting, and later before the Coolidge Junior High P. T. A. Outside speakers for the monthly Club meet- ings were Oscar Christoiferson. who showed interesting and inspiring motion pictures of the warg Mr. Ed Anderson, Superintendent of the Water Works, who delivered a helpful talk on municipal sanitation and city governmentg and Mrs. Easborn Rusco, who gave a timely wealth of information on point rationing.

Numerous new problems arose this year in regard to these because of the present world conflict, but these student-faculty groups gave us a year of activities which will long be remembered at M. H. S. In co-operation with the War Production Board, the administration and the students gave support to a nation-wide scrap drive, which included the turning in of all types of metal for aid to the War effort. Likewise co-operating with the Treasury De- partment, war stamps were sold weekly in our third period classes. As nearly as can be esti- mated at the time of this Writing, War stamp sales for the entire year amounted to well over 38,500.00 Various groups gave roll call programs in connection with these stamp drives which gave added impetus to the sale of war stamps. A novel scheme used to pro- mote sales was a large Wall poster fsee illus- trationj bearing a likeness of that hated scoundrel, Adolph Schicklegruber. For each dollar's worth of war stamps sold a small square on the chart was painted a certain color, and when completed, Hitler was com- pletely covered by an American flag. V I Otto Bud Samuelson and Jim Johnston get in the scrap during the fall scrap drive.

Quickly passing through their period of orientation at Camp Moline High, members of the Class of '45 rapidly be- came an active component of our high school life. In each and every field of endeavor the Sophs have achieved recognition. Their names may be found on the roster of every organization open to them, in the casts of many of our dramatic efforts, and in the box scores of our athletic contests. Heading this sparkling addition to Camp M. H. S. are their commissioned officers, Presi- dent Maxine Osborne, Vice-president Bob Tillberg, and Secretary-treasurer Beverly Col- lison. Judging from the fine start they have made at Moline High, We can well expect to hear more about them in the future. CLASS OF '45.

Or- ganized to promote interest in dramatics, it is well supported by a large number of students. Favorite feature of the Club is its monthly meetings, when a portion of the organization entertains with acts, skits, jokes. and even mi- nor programs. As hgood materialn is usually produced, this is greatly enjoyed by all con- cerned. This year the production was i'Peg Ol My Heart, a story involving a poor Irish lass and her stay with relatives in the city. Unknown to her, a large sum of money had been be- queathed to her by her uncle. When her rela- tives, who, although aristocratic, owned next to nothing, hear of this fortune, they change their contemptuous attitude in regard to their Irish cousin. The son of the family, Aleric, even proposes marriage in hope of cashing in on the money. But at the last moment, im- pending tragedy is averted, and Peg marries her true lover. Officers of the Club this year were Walfred Peterson, President, Nancy Hodgson, Vice President, Bill Matthews, Treasurerg and Nancy Hartz, Secretary.

Second Row: Bob Henss, John Schmidt, Gene Jennings, John Mullen, William Brasmer, Don Bergstedt. Top Row: Coach Vavrus, Chet Fanning, Bob Ryser. Kenneth Pauly, Dick Hedlund. The Maroon under-class squad, in as much as wins and losses were concerned, had a me- diocre season, but according to Coach Vavrus, the fellows definitely improved their funda- mentals during the year and gave everything they had to the game. Coach Vavrus singled out Bob Ryser and Chet Fanning in particular as the boys to watch next fall on the varsity. Others should present strong bids for positions on next fall's starting line-up. As an example of the squadls courage and fight, in the last game of the season against a highly-regarded Rock Island squad, the boys succeeded in overwhelming their favored op- ponents. 144 Our, lJuAkieA bon C'1eatA and 1944.4 Q' at .4 4 Oxw W' LVL ' fx - - ,l ' 'fig ,XX Q 1 X V NX f K ' l ..-A! x XXX XT'-xx 31 Bob Exline Wayne Simonson Art Pears The VI! men Getting off to an unimpressive start against West Rockford, Moline chalked up one game on the loss side of the ledger as the Rabs caught the Moline pass defense flat-footed and capitalized on two scoring opportunities. The following week-end the Maroons journeyed to Maywood for a contest with highly regarded Proviso High School. Amidst an unseasonable fall of wet snow, and with nearly every- thing seeming to go wrong, Moline was defeated in the point department to the tune of 12-6, despite the fact that the box score showed a substantial margin over Proviso in yards gained and in first downs made. Undaunted by a record of two starts and two defeats, Moline came back at Kewanee to avenge its defeat of last year. Set up by Grafton's pass inter- ception, Anders went over from the three-yard line early in the first quar- ter, and Skantz made the score 7-O with his try for extra point. With Mo- line capitalizing on every Kewanee er- ror, and with our line showing re- markable strength, it was a simple matter for the Maroons to score in the fourth period, making the final 13-0. Meeting Galesburg on our home field, Moline tallied up its first win in two years. With Anders crossing the goal three times, Moline subs were given a chance to see action in the second half. Humbling East Moline to the tune of a 27-6 score, Moline looked impressive for the first time this season. The Hill- toppers scored on a penalty late in the fourth period, with Moline garnering their markers largely from power plays featuring Anders. Before a crowd of seven thousand peo- ple, Moline played its finest game of the season, but was overpowered by a Carl Lindberg Ray Zelnio fi , , -ff g V, 5 gfia w . 'M -w wf X , :. ' ' 0. e -f .

With Anders scor- ing on a pass play in the second quar- ter, the Maroons showed promise of victory over the highly touted Crim- son squad. However, this promise faded as the Islanders caught the Ma- roon pass defense unawares with a long pass right into the end zone. In the third quarter the Rocks again showed their skill as Bob Mooney scored on a quick opening play through the Moline forward wall. Totally overpowering a smaller Mon- mouth squad, our Maroons found little difficulty in scoring against the weak Zipper defense. The well-deserving scrubs saw a chance for hard-earned action in the second half of the game. Final score-Moline 42-0. With the football greats of previous years viewing from seats on the side lines, our '42 squad won a hard-earned victory from a big and powerful Evan- ston eleven. With the line doing some fine blocking, Ray Zelnio scored on a tackle-around play early in the game. Despite a second half rally by the Wildkits, Moline came out on top-the final score resting at 7-6. Playing the Hnal contest in freezing temperatures in Davenport's Brady Street Stadium, our Plow Boys were literally shellacked by the Daven- port Blue Devils. Everything went wrong as the inspired Davenport elev- en chalked up a 20-O score against the Illinoisans. While there have been better teams in previous years, the 1942 squad is to be congratulated for its hard-working and never-say-die attitude. Many jun- iors gained valuable experience dur- ing the season and should give a good account of themselves this coming fall. ong Moline run is terminated by four Evanston gridders All .

Kneeling: Scott Blair, Coach Bean, Harley Ammundson. Standing: Bob Johnson, Dan Dahlen, Larry Pettit, Tom Melin. In a sport where stamina and endurance play an all important role, several M. H. S. runners devoted a great amount of time and an equally large amount of energy last fall to Cross Coun- try. A far cry from the short sprints and me- dium-distance laps of spring track events is this sport when the distance to be run is over two miles. Not only does the distance act as a reason for conditioning but also the course to be run is laid over irregular land, crossing small streams to act as an additional handicap. Last fall our Cross Country men completed a successful season, competing in only one meet, placing second. The team is capably coached by Mr. Bean, who also assumes the responsi- bility in the fall of developing some of our large gridders into fast and agile linemen. During the spring track season the strenuous fall program paid a dividend, for members of the Cross Country squad held important posi- tions in the running events.

In an appropriate football atmosphere many HM winners of the past re- turn for a banquet and to view the present day Maroon team by attending a football game, en masse. One of the highlights of NNI lVIen's Day is the parade held in the morning by M. H. S. stu- dents. In past years, colorfully-decorated cars and trucks have made up the parade, but this year, due to curtailed transportation facilities, the students showed their cleverness and orig- inality by having a parade consisting of horses and buggies, appropriately decorated wagons, scooters, and bicycles. Others joined in the fun by marching along with the procession. Presiding over the festivities were the M Queen and HL. O. T. King, Barbara Getz and Jack Taylor. These two honored students led the parade in a gayly decorated horse and buggy. The election of M Queen was perhaps the most exciting election of the school year. Few people were willing to predict the outcome of the race for Queen. The result was very satis- factory to the entire student body, however, when it was announced that Barb would com- plete the royal couple. As the band marches, this year's gridders prepare King Jack and Queen Barbara preside over pre- for their big game to be played before the critical game festivities. eyes of the gridiron greats of other years.

These organizations foster and promote clean fun in wholesome surroundings. Judging from the length of the membership roll, the Girls' Hi-Y, including girls from each class, constitutes a large organization. It IS a large organization and a very active one. Their highlights for the year include a 'iPunch Par- tyn and '4Hick Jig, two get-togethers for po- tential members, The Regional Conference held at the Moline Y. W. C.

While containing a much smaller membership, the Senior Boys' Hi-Y and the Sophomore Boys' I-Ii-Y have proved that it is quality and not quantity that really counts. In addition to many fine parties held by the separate clubs, the fellows co-operated with the Girls' Hi-Y in presenting the exceedingly popular after- game dances during the school months. An- other feature event planned jointly by the three clubs was the Hi-Y carnival, An Irish Holiday, where 600 kids had themselves one fine time. By popular vote Bill Hall and Jean Johnson reigned as king and queen of the affair. Another event planned jointly was the pre-Easter church services for all high school students.

Now a year since Pearl Harbor, even the most impractical students can appreciate the far-reaching effects of total war. The drafting of eighteen-year-olds emerges from its theoretical beginning to a full-fledged law. Again students of M. H. S. are drawn closer to the war effort. It is during these months that M. H. S. wins acclaim for her Hne theat- ricals and musicals, proving that the fine arts are represented in a professional way by amateur actors.

S. is the chorus, which during the last year turned out many fine performances. Directed and sponsored by Miss Becker the chorus has gained city-wide recognition for its fine mu- sical talent. Mrs. Lillian Stevenson is the group's accompanist. Major presentations during the last year were Trial by Juryf' given at the Annual Teachers' Convention held at Rock Islandg 4'One Night of lVIelody,,' described in detail on the follow- ing pageg Christmas Vespers, presented at the high schoolg a Moonlight and Roses scene from '4One Night of Melody given for the Moline Women's Clubg and, at this writing, a spring concert is planned for May. The cho- rus also sang several selections at the January commencement. A year ago the chorus placed second at the state contest. They had hoped to participate again this year but because of transportation difficulties the 1943 state contest was post- poned. Presented for the second time in two years, One Night of Melody was again given be- fore a large and appreciative audience. The production consisted of three parts which are outlined on this page. HTrial by Juryf, an operetta by Gilbert and Sullivan, is a musical comedy which is a satire on a breach-of-prom- ise trial. This was heartily received by the audience for its clever dialogue. The second part consisted of renditions by the chorus of many popular concert songs. Fol- lowing this, fifteen minutes of music was pre- sented over WHBF. From all reports the eve- ning was a great success, and it is the first time a radio program has been conducted on our stage. The last part was a Moonlight and Roses scene, including songs based on this idea with an indoor garden as a background. M. H. S. is winning laurels for musical activi- ties in the quad-cities. This has been achieved by diligent practice and excellent direction.

H. S. In the wake of a grand beginning last year, this group came into its own this year as an active par- ticipant in every phase of high school life. In the athletic field Moline was given a pre- view of things to come as members of the Junior Class assumed responsible positions on our football squad. Likewise in other sports the Class of '44 showed M. H. S. that its mem- bers could wear the Maroonl' with pride next year in every sport. Not to be outdone by the muscle-men, the intelligentsia of the Junior Class gained prom- inence in every type of literary endeavor. On debate platform and in Linotype room alike the Juniors gained fame. For evidence of the ability of the Class's up-and-coming John Bar- rymore's and Katherine Cornell's, note the writeup of their class play on page 60. Under the able leadership of President Bill King, Vice Prexy Malcomb Bosse, and Secre- tary-Treasurer Beverly Chase the Junior Class has proved itself worthy of assuming leader- ship as seniors next year.

Aline Kerns. The junio:-A 171-went 'Iittle Women . . Displaying unusual dramatic technique, the Junior Class presented one of the hits of the theatrical season-'gLittle Women.', With the audience undecided whether to laugh or cry, Louisa M. Alcott's masterpiece was character- ized by almost unbelievable finesse and charm. With Nancy Hodgson, Aline Kerns, Madelyn Dunbar, and Shirley Pufalt assuming the im- mortal roles of the four lovable March sisters, the audience recalled to mind the well-known plot. Years of successful performances have proven the life story of a Udown-to-earth family abounding in homespun philosophy. The people beyond the footlights enjoy being entangled in the troubles and happiness of this old-fashioned family. The play marked another M. H. S. four-star performance, characterized by dramatic ability and the choice of a well-liked plot-an accom- plishment of the school in recent years.

Youngdahl, Hedland, Siebrasse, Richard Anderson, Martens, Sniter, K. Staack. Although receiving not quite as much publi- city as the larger band group, the M. H. S. Orchestra is by no means to be considered as playing an insignificant part in high school life. Studying and playing classical music, the members of this organization acquire a val- uable sense of music appreciation. Our future Beethovens and Rubinoifs practice twice Week- ly under the direction of Mr. E. E. Youngdahl. During the past season the group presented numbers at all school plays and played at both the mid-year and the June commencement exercises. To prove that being able to play The Unfin- ished Symphony does not classify them as Hslow Joesu in the musical world, the mem- bers of this group point with pride to the rec- ord of an ex-member, Louis Bellson, who can beat out a mean bit of jive right along with Krupa himself. At the time of this writing, Louis is featured with Benny Goodman's na- tionally-know band. Although he will prob- ably be tapping out music on a rifle barrel for Uncle Sam in the near future, we doubt if we have heard the last of him or of many other talented orchestra members.

With Caleb Smith, Everett LelVIasters, and Bill Fogle playing varsity-type ball, the cagers rolled through a tough schedule and emerged with a record of 8 wins and 5 losses. Highlight of the season was the startling up- set of the Monmouth High School Little Zip- persf' This team had been previously unde- feated. Practically everyone showed vast improve- ment over the beginning of the season.

With every game proving to be a real contest, Moline displayed its mettle again at Cham- paign as they came up to win second place in the State Tourney. In the opening game the Maroons humbled Anna-Jonesboro 45-30. The next game turned into a real battle as our Maroons established their courage before 7,- 000 championship-minded fans, coming up in the last half to defeat an outstanding West Frankfort club 39-37. Now in the semi-finals, the Maroons proved themselves worthy of final competition by de- feating Elgin 45-39 with Anders and De Meyer chalking up 14 and 13 points respectively.

Willing and ready to help in any wor- thy cause during their high school years, members of this class are showing that they are willing and ready to aid our nation in time of war. Breaking a precedent of several years stand- ing, this class left us at mid-term. This was deemed advisable because many of the fellows left immediately for the armed forces. Also, the shortage of office help had created a de- mand for the girl graduates. Yet the January division did not necessarily cease to function as a part of the class of '43 after its mid-year graduation. Many of its members were active in the A. D. C.-Fellow- ship play, L'Take It or Leave It. Two students took post graduate courses this spring. They were Barbara Getz and Betty Miller.

Occurring in rapid succession was the State Basketball Tournament at Cham- paign, the Senior Class play, the A. D. C.-Fellowship extravaganza, Take It or Leave It, and a number of track meets. Interspersed with these major activities were tennis, golf, the Band Concert, and the spring social events, the Junior-Senior Prom and the Senior Ball. Lending a serious note to the schedule at Moline High was the presentation of a large service flag by the P. T. A. at the annual spring band concert in honor of the many former students now in service. Military news on the fighting fronts scattered over the globe took on added importance for us as the fellows of the January division left in quick succession for the armed forces. Fellows in the June division were busy enlisting for service after graduation or preparing in other ways for the armed forces. , Q Q A yy ' Wi- ' ' , ' , , , N . Vg f J Q' ' ' ai ' wg W:-gf Fvfgw..

Designed to give girls a chance to take pait ii athletics, the G. A, A. carried out a very suc- cessful program. The school year was divided into quarters in order to take care of the varied interests of the members. Ping Pong, bad- minton, and track held full sway for the first quarter, basketball reigned supreme for the second and third, and baseball wound up the year. Girls interested in these sports met in the gym every Tuesday and Thursday night after school and participated in these activi- ties. The social affairs included a hike to Prospect Park, a hay rack ride, and an initiation ban- quet. The hay rack ride developed into a theatre party because of an early October snowfall. At the banquet Mrs. Engel, the spon- sor, was initiated into the organization. The officers for the year were Pat lVIcLeay, President, Jean Cameron, Vice President- Treasurer, and Marjorie Anderson, Secretary. HOME ECONOMICS CLUB.

Organized by our first home economics teacher, Kate M. Gleason, to encourage more close friendships and social life, the Home Econom- ics Club meets monthly with appropriate pro- grams, guest speakers, games, and refresh- ments. The Club is affiliated with state and national home economics clubs and contributes money to an international fellowship fund for the American education of foreign girls in home economics. The social schedule for this year included a new and different Christmas banquet, a very successful mothers' tea, and a unique interna- tional dinner. The latter event was perhaps the most novel, as food representing various countries composed the menu. The Club re- cently gained a new topic of conversation, that of the current rationing problems. Officers for the year were Doris Johnson, Pres- ident, Mae Johnson, Vice President, Beverly Cutler, Secretary, June Closen, Treasurer. The sponsors are Miss Bonnel, Miss Pass, and Miss Adams.

Bottom: Philip Rubin, Tom Finfgeld, and Dick Schafer engage in a warm discussion. Before an appreciative and amused audience, the speech department presented one of Shake- speare's finest comedies, 4'The Taming of the Shrew. With a large cast ably coached by Miss Bar- bara Garst, the time-tested comedy went off Hwithout a hitch. Two of the cast giving an almost professional performance were Ann Ainsworth, in the title role of the Hshrewl' Ka- tharina, and Bill Matthews, as the Hshrew- tamer Petruchio. The well-known plot consists of Petruchio's un- orthodox methods of subduing his rather in- dependent bride, Katharina. The clever lines, the exquisite Shakespearean costuming, and the unique presentation added to the enjoy- ment of the Shakespearean critic and the 'ggreenhornn alike.

Ann Ainsworth, as the social-climbing Mrs. Rear- don. won further laurels for her superb acting: while John Colby, as the Hdown-to-earth Mr. Reardon, also won acclaim. Bill Leonard, mak- ing his debut behind the high school footlights, turned in a fine performance as Todd Gallo- way. Other members of the cast are also to be congratulated for the excellent manner in which they presented the comedy. In her usual splendid way Miss Barbara Garst coached the play to perfection.

Organized to promote good will and lasting friendships in the Senior class, the Boys' Fel- lowship and the Girls' After Dinner Clubs did an excellent job this year in reaching such a goal. The Boys' Fellowship Club was advised by Byron Arnold. Directing the activities of the year were President, Bill Leonard, Vice Presi- dent, Art Pears, and Secretary-Treasurer, Jack Moore. The Girls' After Dinner Club chose as spon- sors Miss Fern Slusher, Miss Frances Jeffers, and Miss Genevieve Gates. Officers for the year were President, Rose Ellen Benningtong Vice President, Katherine Runge, and Secre- tary-Treasurer, Barbara Getz. Each organization has a monthly dinner meet- ing during which business is transacted and for which a speaker is provided. Highlight of the Clubs' activities was the production, Take It or Leave It, in which practically all members of the Clubs participated.

To top this off Captain-elect Jack Taylor entered the armed forces even before the first meet. Nevertheless Coach Bean Went to work and succeeded in building a fairly strong squad around Cal Anders and Wayne Simonsen. At the time the HM goes to press, it is too early to forecast the seasonls final outcome, but we can rest assured of a powerful squad and a successful season. Although the squad is quite small in size and every member is forced to participate in many events, the team has accounted for itself in every meet very well thus far. Good luck, tracksters!

After a seemingly everlasting period of bad weather, Spring Finally blossomed out in all its finary. Quick to utilize this fine weather, were the participants of minor spots. With scores of students answering the call for tennis and golf candidates, others took active parts in intramural table tennis and badminton tourneys at Wharton Field House. Two sports, which were enjoyed all winter, took on an added following with the advent of spring. These were swimming and wrestling, non-interscholastic because of transportation difficulties. These two activities met two and three times a week to enjoy clean sport and wholesome exercise. Another unusual feature of spring, 1943, was the total absence of rattletrap cars. With the teacheirs of the 16th Street classrooms breathing a sigh of relief and with students be- moaning their plight, bicycles became a prac- tical method of transportation as well as just another spring sport.

Certainly the largest band in the history of Moline and possibly the best, the band con- tinued to do a service for the school and for the community. Football fans were entertained between halves by the colorful and intricate marching patterns executed by the band, and many a basketball fan enjoyed a Hpeppyl' march between games at Wharton Field House. In addition to these, the band played for many other school and civic events, including the Marine induction ceremony held here, the sec- ond war bond drive, the Memorial Day parade and many others. For the first time this year, the band practiced two nights a week in order to perfect the marching patternsg also the members made a trip to Kewanee to play for the football game between Moline and Kewanee. Band members were treated to a dinner at the Top Hat by the Junior Chamber of Com- merce because of the many services performed in co-operation with the Jaycee's. soe, Bob Duncan, Marcheta Eckhart, Ed Eklof, Charles Hetzer, Blaine Hutson, Carl Lindberg, Dorothy McKauf sky, Dick Medd, Melvin Soderstrom, Anthony Zelnio Witold Zelnio.

Spring Term Wally Blad, Larry Ehrhardt, Virgil Hassel, Antony Gasperovich Presenting the most varied program yet of- fered, the spring concert met the tastes of both classical minded and swing listeners. The au- dience enjoyed such numbers as the Finale from the New Worlcl Symphony, Autumn Noc- turne, American Patrol, and the Three Trum- beters. The solos played by Bob Johnson and by Bob Lofgren won the approval of everyone. Concertino Riclicnlo provided a little com- edy as in this number the clarinet soloist and outside interferences drove the director almost to distraction. Other numbers of interest was the drum ensemble, which played Downfall of Paris, and Keep on Smllinl, arranged for the band by Dick Anderson, a member. The P. T. A. presented a service flag to the school with one large star and the total num- ber of boys in service. The program ended with God Bless America. PROGRAM OF BAND CONCERT The -Star Spangled Banner.

Highest hopes were realized as these senior lads on a well-trained basketball team won state-wide recognition at the '43 tourney in Champaign. You've seen our debate squad, whose Senior members have commanded attention in the Northwest Conference meets, exhibiting their knowledge gained through three years, prep- aration. You've discovered the Seniors par- ticipating in other forensic activities, and you've recognized them as the backbone of our Shakespeare and Dramatic Club plays. In such extreme opposites as spring sports and club activities, their leadership was needed for things to function properly. However, the upper classmen have not shirked responsibilities in a warring world, such as ours. This was evidenced by the response of the many applicants to take officer training exams in the early spring. Although only a small number passed the rigid physical and mental examination, those chosen few will be heard of in the future in their roles of Army and Navy officers. Before their eighteenth birthday many others enlisted as reserves to be called shortly after June graduation. Still other Seniors, girls and boys alike, vol- unteered to work on farms all summer in an effort to relieve the food shortage facing our country. The girls have by no means evaded war work. Some have obtained part-time em- ployment in defense jobs, both in the factories themselves and the offices of such war plants. You have followed these Seniors in their social life as well. The Junior-Senior Prom and Seni-' or Ball were glamorous climaxes to the social whirl of class parties enjoyed as Sophomores and Juniors. Despite a smaller graduating class because of the graduation of about ninety Seni- ors in January, spring commencement was a thrilling grand finale to three years' high school work. HAZEL ABRAHAMSEN Lovely eyes, the same hue as her name, is one of Hazel's main features. She became one of the inainstays of the Usher Club. ANN AINSWORTH Ann's fine personality and outstanding ability in the forensic field have won for her laurels in the Girl's Declamation squad.

WARREN ANDERSON At first we took Warren to be quite bashful, but as our high school days passed by it was found that this was quite untrue. MAXINE AKERS Akers and akers of friends have been won by this young lady throughout her high school career. We all remember her for the piano solo in l'Take It or Leave It.
