Business Manager SENIORS pages 32 57 JUNIORS pages 58 69 ACTIVITIES pages 70 109 MUSIC AND DRAMATICS ATHLETICS pages 110-125 pages 126-153 We, the graduating class of 1953, leave the halls of Moline High School with mixed emotions. We are proud of our accomplishments and of the knowledge we have attained during the past twelve years; we are filled with apprehension for our changing life and unstable future; hut we are en- dowed with a wealth of friends and memories, many of which will be with us for many years to come. During our junior and senior years, we were aware of many shadows left by former classes. In this book we have tried to recapture many of the shadows which will be left by our . . . • • thirty-third No royal coronation could be more impressive than the crowning of our “M” queen and Line O’ Type king. LaRue Rueter and Roger Dunlap reigned over homecoming in honor of the “M” men of 1953 and of previous years. Although we were not victorious in our homecoming game, both teams deserved credit for some fine playing, and the day was by no means a loss. The weather was bright and clear, made to order for the parade, an impressive, colorful procession of clever and beautiful floats and open convertibles. An aftergame dance held in the gym to honor the king and queen, attendants, and the team climaxed a happy, eventful day. 7 8 Look at all those happy laces! Do you know why they are beam- ing like that? The bell has just rung and they have all settled down to begin another hour of furthering their education. Whether that hour is to be spent reading Shakespeare, learning chemistry formulas or Latin verbs, or preparing future assignments in study hall, it is sure to be time well spent. MHS has long been noted for its high standards and varied cur- riculum. A student is offered courses ranging from auto mechanics to boys’ cooking, and from English literature to pottery making. All these classes are taught by competent, well-trained teachers. We can well be proud of our progressive education system. • • accomplishments in all forms of athletics “Hals off!” to all those athletes who devoted so many of their evenings to train and fight for the honored name of the Maroons in wrestling, cross country, basketball, football, baseball, tennis, and golf. The games and tournaments were seldom easy, but the players always came through with a smile and a determination to do better next time, whether the game was won or lost. True, we didn ' t win them all, but we have a record of which we can be proud. We believe that you who are now juniors and sophomores have plenty to be proud of too. Vi e are leaving a capable group of athletes behind. It takes lots of hard work and long hours of practice, but keep those? trophy case ' s filled to overflowing! entertaining musical and dramatic “Music hath charms,” especially when it is presented by the Fine Arts Club, Scandinavian Singers, Choir or any of the other ac- complished musical groups at Moline High School. Long practices and hard work were well rewarded when fhe comedy, “What A Life,” was given before an appreciative audience. Beautiful costumes and settings helped make ‘ Song of Norway” as successful as “One Night of Melody” with its bevy of talented students. Shakespeare would have been proud if he could have seen the senior presentation of his play, “The Taming of the Shrew.” The ADC-Fellowship production, “This is the ARMY?” was a rollicking two and one-half hours of music, dancing, jokes, and Willie and Joe. Outstanding work was done by the juniors in their play, “Dear Ruth.” productio many good times “You want to dance ?” Mambo, conga, waltz, fox trot, jitterbug? Just name it and you’ll find the right record in the huge stack that’s always right at your finger- tips. Even if you can’t dance, you can still find an evening of good, clean fun at the Rek. There’s never a dull moment at the Rek as you have your choice of ping-pong, television, cards, or you can even read a book or magazine, knit a pair of argyles or just sit around. Mrs. Harry Frieden, more com- monly known as “Ma,” is always there to whip up a chocolate malt or a ham sandwich in case anyone is hungry. Or you can just get a coke, potato chips, or a candy bar. Not only is the Rek a regular meeting place on Wednesdays, after the game on Fridays, and after the show on Saturday, but on special occasions too, when we en- joyed music by one of the well- known bands in our area and when we had that wonderful Christmas party with a floor show and all. 15 . . . experience gained “What makes that go?” was a question often heard last November when the seniors participated in Busi- ness-Industry-Education Day. In previous years, either the teachers visited factories and offices or representa- tives of those organizations visited the schools. This year the students were invited to do the visiting. Businessmen and manufacturers played host to the senior classes of several of the high schools in the area. In Moline, the seniors met at Wharton Field House where they were assigned places in busses or cars which took them to their destinations. After an in- teresting tour through the stores and factories, the seniors were invited to have luncheon with their hosts. Short, informal, explanatory talks were given after the luncheon by the hosts and the students were given a chance to ask questions. 17 Our Superintendent DR.

As the shadows of the fading limelight fall on the seniors, a galaxy of memories Hashes by. Entering MHS with a spirit of enthusiastic anticipation, the class of ’53 soon became active in all departments, sports, and organizations. “Cuckoos on the Hearth,” the Junior-Senior Prom, foot- ball games, “Brigadoon,” and getting ac- quainted kept them busy during their junior year. A whirl of activities this year, including “Taming of the Shrew,” “Song of Norway,” Homecoming, the Senior Ball, basketball games, and the A. D. C. Fellow- ship production swept the class into the final days. Striving diligently, reaping accomplishments, the senior class of 1953 has set leadership precedents difficult to excel. The shadows of life and time will claim the attentions of the graduates, who will now devote their talents to business, the professions and a progressive world.

CAMERA SHY: EVELYN HEAD CERALD KINKEAD W AYNE STRAFFORD May We Present LEADING the junior class were Sharon Alftine, secretary-treasurer; Don Trull, president; and Mario Lange, vice-president. Our shadow now falls on the members of the junior class, who have par- ticipated in many of the school’s events and have brought honors to themselves as well as their alma mater. While at Coolidge and John Deere the class made various accomplishments in the athletic, journalistic, and dramatic fields. The sophomores of both schools had athletic teams in all major sports, football, basketball, track, and baseball. There were even some sophs out for varsity wrestling. Coolidge students worked on their annual. The Reflector; and newspaper. The Newsreel. The Pow Wow and The Tomahawk, annual and newspaper, respectively, kept the John Deere publication staffs busy. Many Coolidge students were cast in the Revue of ’52, while John Deere’s sophs had parts in “Danny Dither” and “Men Are Like Streetcars.” W r hen the class of 1954 combined forces at MHS, there were many new experiences ahead of them. Next Years Leaders Now as the school year has come to a close, the juniors are able to look back with satisfaction over their first year at senior high school and look forward with anticipation to next year. In the fall audiences laughed at and lauded the performance of the junior class play, “Dear Ruth.” Several members of the class participated in “One Night of Melody,” “Christmas Vespers,” and “Song of Norway.” The band and orchestra also claimed many of its members from the class. Nearly all clubs at MHS included juniors as members and some as officers, and all sports teams had junior players. The Junior-Senior Prom, the biggest event of the class, was an overwhelming success as a result of their careful planning. This year honors were taken in the sports, music, dramatics and literary fields, which will help to make the class leaders next fall. ADVISING the junior class were sponsors. Miss Clara O.

A Scholar ' s Work Is Never Done Each year, when graduation time draws near, many awards are given to outstanding seniors. Students pictured on these pages won honors such as that of valedictorian, salutatorian. Merit Shield, popularity cups, athletic scholarship awards, and membership to Quill and Scroll Society. However, these are only a few of the honors given to graduating seniors. Others include the G.A.A. cup, Latin Award, Earl H. Bcling Chemistry Award, and Physics Award, which, because of early deadlines we were unable to include among these awards. To the two seniors ranking highest scholastically in the class, go the valedictorian and salut- atorian honors. Popularity cup winners are selected by the senior class and the Merit Shield is given to a senior student for service, leadership, and character. To an outstanding athlete, goes the Athletic Cup. Boys receiving National Athletic Society Scholarships must have a high scholastic rating in the class, besides being active in sports. Journalism students who rank in the upper third of their class and who have done superior work in publications are eligible for membership in the Quill and Scroll Society for High School Journalists. Each is presented with a Quill and Scroll pin and a subscription to the Society magazine. We have presented to you, on these pages, a few of the honors given graduating students.

We Give You the Book of The Year April 1, deadline! Working feverishly to complete their layouts, staff members spent many hours after school finishing various sec- tions of the yearbook. Miss Clara Carlson is the present adviser of the annual which tries to give a complete record of the year and serves as a memory book for students. In October, several staff members, along with editors of the LOT, attended the Illinois State High School Press Association Conference at the University of Illi- nois. Special instruction concerning proper layouts, suitable bind- ings, and correct cover designs was given by men noted in these fields of work. The information staff members gained at this con- ference was useful in helping to make this year’s “M” “one of the best.” The first yearbook was published in 1913 under the super- vision of Miss Julia E. Gettemy, former head of the English depart- ment, and Mr. E. P. Nutting, former principal of MHS. 80 PLANNING THE LAY- OUT are, Standing: Stan Leach, artist; Janet Swan- son, activities editor; Shar- on Burton, music and dra- matics editor; David Hinde, photographer.

C., or After Dinner Club, as it was formerly known. Inaugurated for the purpose of helping girls to become acquainted with one another, and to unify all senior girls, the club previously held several meetings during the year with outstanding speakers as guests. Now, however, its only function is to present the annual ADC-Fellowship production together with the senior boys. Senior girls elected to serve on the steering committee of this produc- tion were Sandra Stegmiller, steering committee chairman, Sally Youngren, Shirley Seidel, Sharon Barger, and Joye Hamm. These girls, along with representatives from the Fellowship, met with Miss Barbara Carst, dramatics director, to select a theme for this year’s production. Bill Maudlin’s hook, “Up Front” was chosen to serve as a model for the show which is entitled, “This Is the Army?” Tryouts were held for the main parts, “Willie” and “Joe,” the two M.C.’s, special parts, and individual skits. Final selections were made and practices were held every week to perfect the acts. All these people combined, presented, what is considered, “one of the best shows of the year.” Row 1: Cleo Aguirre, Mary Cervantes, Nancy Dufour, Delores Hearn, Marlene Crawford, Laurraine Forbey, Rosemary Guinn, Gloria Durbin, Marilyn Carlson, Betty Barber, Joye Hamm.

An adult group, headed by Mr. Clar- ence Lucas, governs the cen- ter which is commonly re- ferred to as the REK. Unless they have a membership card, in which case they are admitted free, a charge of 25 cents is made to each per- son entering the REK. Mrs. Harry Frieden is the direc- tor and she is assisted by Mrs. Aletha DeMeyer and Mrs. Ronald Owen. Want to dance , have fun? Meet me at the REK! Top: Main room of the REK, used for dancing.

Once again, as gridiron lettermen returned for homecoming festivi- ties, they were greeted with a cordial welcome extended by stu- dents and faculty of MHS. Cor- onation was the main event for the day preceding. Reigning as King and Queen for homecoming were Roger Dunlap and LaRue Reuter. Their attendants were Darlene George, Bob Bloom, Jeanne John- son, Leon Smith, Sally Youngren, Jerry Leggett, Marilyn Carlson, and Mike Johnson. The royalty were presented at the football game and later presided over the dance. The next day, a homecom- ing parade was held, followed by a mass pep session at Stephens Square. Those groups with win- ning floats were as follows: Dis- tributive Education, first place; Hi-Y, Y-Teens, second place; and ‘‘Hillbillies,” third place. Approx- imately 150 lettermen attended the reunion banquet held in the high school cafeteria. From there they congregated on the field preceding the game with Rock Island. Al- though Rock Island won, 12-6, Moline fans were convinced that the Moline team had won a moral victory. “MAY I HELP YOU?” ask these girls as they work in the supply corner.

Dear Ruth” “I think ‘Dear Ruth’ is one of the cleverest comedies that has been produced on the stage here in the last ten years,” was the comment of Miss Barbara Garst, dramatics director, about the junior class play, “Dear Ruth” presented here on Thursday, December 4, in the high school auditorium. The play concerns the mixup caused by Miriam, a sixteen-year-old senior, portrayed by Millie Blitt, who had been writing to service- men and signing the name of her older sister Ruth, played by Marg Neir. Bill, an air force lieutenant, played by Dick Cline, to whom Miriam has written, comes to visit Ruth. However, she has just become engaged to Albert Kummer, a civilian working in a bank with her, portrayed by Ronald Kongerslev. As Bill does not know it was Miriam who wrote to him, Ruth decides to go out with him and break the news gradually. She discovers she likes him a lot. A big mixup occurs the next day when Ruth tries to decide whom to marry. Of course she decides on Bill. 7A ,r “Just rehearsing.” SENIOR PLAY CAST: Sitting on floor.

Taming of the Shrew 99 Elaborate costumes, flying dishes, music from “Kiss Me Kate” by the operetta workshop, would be one way of describing the senior class presentation of “The Taming of the Shrew,” one of Shakespeare’s most popular comedies, presented Friday and Saturday, March 27 and 28, in the high school auditorium. The plot centers around Baptista, a rich merchant of Padua, portrayed by Jim Dejonghe, who has two marriageable daughters, Katherine and Bianca, played by Judy Reed and Joye Hamm. The latter has many suitors, but the elder is a shrew ' whom men avoid. Baptista decrees that Bianca must remain un- married until Katherine finds a husband. Petruchio, played by Herman Zimmerman, newly arrived in Padua, decides he will marry the wealthy “Kate” and tame her. In the meantime Bianca is pursued by three suitors: the wealthy elderly Gremio, Hortensio, and Lucentio, played by Kay Kaiser, Tom Peterson and Bruce Hills, respectively. Everything turns out happily with Kate and Petruchio, Bianca and Lucentio. ADC-Fellowship Presents This Is The Army?” k” “This Is the Army?”, the 1953 After Dinner Club-Fellowship Production was presented on April 23 and 24. Act I, scene 1, took place in an army camp with Willie and Joe, portrayed by Leon Smith and Dick Malcolm, being rudely awakened by the bugler, Cullen Case. The scene consisted of the singing of “There Is Nothin’ Like a Dame” plus practice in handling hand grenades, creating lots of laughs. Being assigned to three years of KP duty, Willie and Joe opened Act I, scene 2, in the kitchen peeling potatoes. The acts were a reminiscence of their civilian days. Act II took place at a U.S.O. show with M.C.’s, Stan Leach and Herman Zimmerman. Specialty acts which will be remem- bered are “Dusty Keys” by Dona Welch and Audrey Lil- jegren ; “Sorrento” by Don Bogguess and “I Believe” by Nancy Jahn.

Since its beginning in 1952, the Fine Arts Club has proved itself to be a big success in stimulating greater interest in music and dramatics at Moline Senior High School. This year, besides the Music and Dramatics Departments, the club has in- cluded the Art Department. Its activities and productions this year have included the dramatic production, “What A Life,” given in October; its Christmas party, and its outstanding musical production, “Song of Norway.” An awards banquet was held in May.

Their Voice in the Joy of Christmas Something different was tried this year, as the dramatics depart- ment was given a part in the an- nual Christmas Vespers. “Why the Chimes Rang,” a Christmas play was presented. The story centers about a small boy called Holger who showed his unselfish- ness by helping a cold old woman and giving the only precious pos- session he owned, a few pennies, to the Lord on Christmas Eve. Because of his unselfishness, his small gift caused the chimes to ring, whereas before they would not ring when gold from a king and books from a scholar were given. 118 One Night of Melody , ” Music , and Mirth One Night of Melody, presented November 6 and 7, was a colorful two hours of music. The choir started the show with such lively selections as ‘ Let Every Heart Be Merry,” “The Nightingale,” “Fireflies” and the popular and appropriate song for the time of the year, “Grandma’s Thanksgiving.” Fart II was graced by the singing and dancing of the Scandinavian Singers. Their songs consisted of typical Scand- inavian melodies. They closed their part of the program with “Kan Du Vissla. Johanna?” Junior Miss was the title of Part III which was presented by the Junior Girls’ chorus with page girls, Marilyn Carlson, Sue Tate, Sandra Ortmann and Joan St. John, announcing the numbers in verse. The piano playing of “Trees” by A1 Manley, the organ selections by Shirley Seidel, and Sharon Jones and her electric guitar will long “Tom, Dick and Harry t?) ’ be remembered. The fourth and last part of the program was presented by the Operetta Workshop. Selections from “Kiss Me Kate” and “Porgy and Bess,” featured “Why Can’t You Behave” by Carol Kraklow; “Tom, Dick and Harry” by Dick Cline, Earle VanGilder, Herman Zimmerman and Doris Larson; and “I’ve Got Plenty of Nothing” by Tom Peterson. A few of the outstanding acts were “Dan- ny Boy,” by Don Bogguess, “II Baeio” by Dorothy Smith, and “The Touch of Your Hand” by Carol Foster. 120 They Sing 9 They Dance 9 They re Good! Formed nearly six years ago and under the direc- tion of Miss Margaret Becker, the Scandinavian Singers have held true to the authenticity of their costumes by presenting most of their songs in Swedish or Norwegian. This year their singing and dancing has been the highpoint in programs for the Doctors’ Wives, Jun- ior Woman’s Club and D.A.R.

The Athletic Board of Control for Moline High School was founded in 1899 when the constitution for this association was formally drawn up. This board sets the price of the tickets, has charge of all sports partici- pation, approves the budget for each sport, has charge of the football and basketball “M” Men’s day, and any other special events such as Boy Scout night, Girl Scout night, etc. Two of the biggest jobs of this board are those of apportioning the budget and the awarding of letters. Three Cheers For These , Our Leaders Warming up for a pep session are the regular cheerleaders, Cheryl Wall, Sally Youngren, Reeda Marx, and Leona Polacek. Substitute cheerleaders are Carol Johnson, Rose Marie Padilla, and Sandra Dennhardt. “We’re from Moline, couldn’t be prouder,” is the yell of the MHS cheerleaders as they go through their different routines during pep assemblies and at games. In recent years, cheerleading at Moline has come into the spotlight, as every year more girls try for the positions that will allow them to be one of the choice few who lead their classmates in cheering the athletic teams. About the third week in every school year, a special assembly is held. The Student Congress rep- resentative from each adroom is given a special form on which there are numbers corresponding to each girl trying out. The qualities voted on are general appearance, voice audibility and enuncia- tion, rhythm and timing, and grace and ease of movement.

Toil Plus Teamwork To Win Although the Maroon gridmen sported a record of 2 wins, 1 tie, and 5 losses, this record doesn’t tell the whole story. Twice, close games could have been won, or at least tied, if a pass had been complete or the clock hadn’t run out. Injuries also played a big part in this record. Larry Heitman, Art Solis, Rog Dunlap, Larry Noel, Tom Bergendahl, and Elmer Rummans all suffered key injuries that kept them out of vital games. The Maroon backfield, although light, was very good. Don Trull was the leading ball carrier, as he showed a fleet set of heels while gaining a total of 224 yards, for a 5.7 yard average. Close behind were Rog Dunlap, Jerry Doerr, Larry Heitman, Larry Pollard, Virgil Hall, and Larry Noel, in that order. Moline used more passing this year, and racked up more air yardage than in the last three seasons put together. Ronnie Slack was the top tosser, with 15 completions out of 33 tries for 225 yards. Adrian Winters with 10 for 20 and 103 yards, and J. D. Munn, who hit 7 for 16 and 76 yards, ranked second and third, respectively. The Maroon line, though light and seldom mentioned, can never be overlooked. Art Solis, Elmer Rummans, Dick Klier, George Braden, Paul Aller, Gary Slavish, Don Johnson, Rich Husson, Chuck Laws, Ronnie Granger, Ronnie Jones, and Joe Jamison all played hard, rough football. 130 Their Guidance Was Well Rewarded “A team is nothing without its coach.” This quotation is true about the Maroon eleven, as the coaches work- ed tirelessly to teach the art of blocking, running, pass- ing, tackling, and teamwork. Head coach was Mr. Sam Drake, who led the team in exercises, and also coached the ends. Line coach, Mr. Archie Swanson, strove to perfect a line that was hard and tough. Backfield coach, Mr. Joe Vavrus, taught the use of the split-T attack and the spread pass. Defensive backfield coach, Mr. A1 Stevens, worked to teach the art of covering pass receivers and diagnos- ing plays. Bottom Row : Sam Drake, Head Coach; Archie Swanson, Line Coach. Top Row: Joe Vavrus, Backfield Coach; A1 Stevens, Defensive Backfield Coach. Proof that dynamite comes in small packages can be ascertained, as George Braden, 147 pound guard for the Maroon football team, garnered just about every honor there was. George was elected most valuable player and captain by his team- mates, won the “M” Men’s football award, won the Jaycee outstanding football player award, gained the Northwest Conference All-Star second team, and won honorable mention on the All-State team. George Bre ' !? Don Bogguess Roger Dunlap Chuck Laws Although they were beaten 12 6 by Joliet, Coach Sam Drake ' s Maroon gridmen provided a very exciting opening game. The Steelmen tallied twice, before the Maroons began to march behind the passing of quarter- back, Ronnie Slack, and the running of halfbacks, Don Trull and Larry Heilman. A 41-yard passing and running drive finally ended in a score with Ronnie Slack passing to Joe Jamison from one yard out. Tackle Ron Granger recovered a Joliet fumble and Moline again started for the goal. The Maroons were doomed though, as a pass from the 10-yard line was intercepted with 35 seconds left to play. The Mattoon game proved to be the first victory for the Maroon ' 52 football team as they won 13-0. With backfield men, Larry Heitman, J. D. Munn, and Gary Slavish; and linemen. George Braden, Art Solis, and Elmer Rummans providing the spark, the Moliners began to click. A third period march ended with quarterback. J. D. Munn. scoring from the 5-yard line. Heitman added the extra point. A few moments later, Heitman intercepted a pass and romped 25 yards to complete the scoring. The Maroons started out with a bang, but had to be content with a 13-13 tie against Kewanee. Moline immediately took advantage of a Adrian Winters Don Trull Ronnie Granger Kewanee fumble, as Jerry Doerr scored from 5 yards out. Larry Heilman added the extra point. The Maroons scored again as Larry Pollard punched over from 7 yards out, after a 72-yard rampage that featured J. D. Munn’s passing to Don Johnson and Joe Jamison. Larry Heitman missed the extra point try. Ke- wanee scored two touchdowns and an extra point to provide the tie. Moline was afflicted with acute “fumble-itis” as they lost the ball to the Blue Devils six times, and were downed 25-6. A Blue Devil fumble was turned into a score in the third quarter as Ron Slack passed to Ron Jones for a T. D. Moline came within 20 yards of the Davenport goal four times, but were stopped by fourth down tackles or pass interceptions. Paul Aller Elmer Rummans Larry Noel 133 Ron Slack Dick Klier Jerry Doerr Moline 13, Galesburg 6 — Moline realized its second win of the season by using a “two-platoon” system of backfield men. Moline started with Adrian Winters, Don Trull. Virgil Hall, and Larry Noel, while the second half found J. D. Munn. Jerry Doerr. Roger Dunlap, and Hall doing the ball carrying. A fired up Maroon eleven promptly erased a 6-0 deficit as a blocked Galesburg punt was recovered and Jerry Doerr scored from the 1-yard line. Moline then recovered a fumble on their 9-yard line and immediately started downfield, with the T. D. being scored on a 10-yard aerial from J. D. Munn, to Don Johnson. Larry Heitman’s kick was good. Moline was held scoreless for the first time in ’52 and the Orange won their first game since 1944 over the Maroons by a 25-0 score. Roger Dun- lap. Virgil Hall, and Don Trull all got away for long runs, but these went for naught as the Panthers stiffened their defenses. Larry Noel, Adrian Winters, and Don Johnson sparked three more Moline drives, hut the Panthers stopped them each time. Rock Island 12, Moline 6 — In the homecoming game against Rock Is- land on October 31, the Moline Maroons rose like Halloween goblins to scare the pants off the vaunted state power. Although the Islanders scored on their first two plays from scrimmage, the Maroons never gave up. Don Johnson Rich Husson Larry Pollard t 134 Art Solis Gary Slaxish Moline recovered a fumble on the Hocks ' 4-yard line and weren’t to be de- nied, as Jerry Doerr scored from the one. Larry Heitman’s kick hit the cross bar. The clock ran out on the Maroons as the half time gun went off with the Moliners on the Rocks’ 3-yard line. Moline made a final bid for victory in the fourth quarter as Ronnie Slack threw long passes to Don Trull and Virgil Hall to take Moline to the 5-yard line. However, a pass intercepted with 30 seconds to go, spelled defeat. Standouts were tackle, Ronnie Granger, who spent most of the night in the opposing back- field, and fullback, Don Trull, who racked up 100 yards rushing. Dick Allison. Rocky safety man, pulled down four Maroon runners who were in the open heading for touchdowns. Moline could only say “wait till next year” as they lost their last game of the season to Canton 13-6. The Maroons went 80 yards to score in the fourth quarter as Larry Noel drove across from the one. Moline showed its flashiest run of the season as Don Trull ran back on an intercepted pass 62 yards behind beautiful blocking by Art Solis. Larry Heitman Tom Bergendahl Joe Jamison i % J. D.

Clayton Chelstrom The Moline Cross Country team of 1952-53, under the close training eye of Coach Bill Bean, ended the season with a record of five second places and one third. The meets included the Davenport Triangular, the Davenport Dual, the Hock Island Dual, the Sterling In- vitational, the Northwest Conference meet at Kewanee, and the State District meet at Sheffield. The boys that competed in these meets were George Swift, Clayton Chelstrom, Herb Malmstrom. Paul Stewart. John Hendrix, Eddie Vols, Carl Nelson, Dick Dhabalt. John Allen, Bob Falk, and Ron Almquist. Clay Chelstrom, by placing fifth at the district meet in Sheffield, won the right to represent the Maroon and White at the state meet in Champaign, where he came in thirty-first out of a field of over 150 boys. 137 138 Get That Ball!

Faced with the toughest schedule in the state and only four returning lettermen, Head Coach Jack Foley and Assistant Coach Bill Bishop weren’t entertaining many thoughts of repeating the fine record of the year before. However, the fighting Maroons surprised everyone by developing a powerful team and capturing the Northwest Conference championship. Their 18 win 8 loss record does not quite tell the story. They scored an average of 65.5 points a game, while holding th eir foes to a 56.3 mark per game. The shooting average was an amazing 43 per cent and they scored at a 67 per cent rate at the free throw line. The Maroons lose only four lettermen: Leon Smith, Jerry Leggett, Augie Martel and Bob Bloom. These four, along with juniors Dick Dhabalt and Adrian Winters, composed the “starting six” during most of the season. Guiding the Maroons this season were Head Coach Jack Foley and Assistant Coach Bill Bishop. Adrian Winters Bob Gunter Leon Smith The Maroons started fast, whipping through their first three games in surprisingly strong fashion. They won the opener over Joliet 63-48 and then traveled to Hinsdale to win 61-50. In this contest, Leon Smith chalked up a new scoring record by slam- ming in 32 points. The next game the Maroons toppled a very powerful East Rockford team 78-57. In Coach Foley’s opinion, this was the best game played by the Maroons all year long. Next, the Maroons were tripped up by a rough Thornton club 43-42, and then were upset again by East Moline the following week. In this game the services of Jerry Leggett were lost for two weeks because of an ankle injury incurred during the first half. Augie Martel also suffered a slight injury which badly handicapped the Maroons as they lost 47-41. Coming back after their two losses, they downed Galesburg 5747 and Canton 50-44. At full strength again, victories were chalked up over previously unbeaten Daven- port, 5 -51, and Oak Park, 60-49. laced with their third game in four days and against the eventual state champs. La Grange, the boys just didn’t seem to have it. They lost 70-49 with the very tired regulars sitting out the second half. However they won their next three, tripping Monmouth, 43-27; Kewanee, 62-49; and Freeport, 80-42. Don Trull Ralph Efflandt Augie Martel Jerry Leggett Dick Dhabalt The Maroons then lost an important conference game to their rivals. Rock Island 66-56. Next, they won three more: 61 56 over Elgin, 51-59 over East Moline, and 56-39 over Galesburg. In a return match, the Davenport Imps won out 65-53 and then Monmouth tripped them 56-44. However, a fast 59-55 victory was snatched from Decatur and then in an extremely well played hall game, an excellent Quincy team won out 62 56. The Maroons then won the really big game of the season, dumping Rock Island 57-48 to win the Northwest bunting. Moline came through their first two games of the regional tournament as expected taking Orion 65-30 and East Moline 51-46. The final game with Roc k Island was a real thriller. The Maroons handicapped by inconsistent officiating battled the towering Rocks to the final seconds before losing a 68-65 decision. Leon Smith led the Maroons in scoring for the season, notching 375 points for a 14.3 average. Augie Martel, the main defensive cog, posted a 12.7 average. Named one of the outstanding players in the state, he was chosen by the Chicago Daily News and the Champaign News-Gazette for second team honors. Jerry Leggett was the floor leader and passer of the team and contributed 8.6 points per game. Dick Dhabalt snatched 184 rebounds off the boards and shot .710 at the charity line. Martel copped free throw honors with an .840 mark. Leggett shot .710 and Smith .680 from the line. Returning lettermen next year are Dhabalt, Adrian Winters. Ralph Efflandt, Joe Jamison, Bob Gunter, Don Trull, and Virgil Hall.

Maroon Grapplers The Moline Maroon colors were again represented at the state wrestling championships in Champaign as Don Duck, Larry Noel, and Paul Hoffman advanced into the charmed meet. For the fourth straight year, the Moline Maroon wrestling squad had a state champ among its members. Following in the footsteps of John Ontiveros and A1 Waxenberg, Don Duck took the Illinois State Wrestling Crown in the 112-pound division. Don was a standout wrestler, as he finished the season undefeated. The state meet was not new to Don, as he participated in it last year. Paul Hoffman was another Maroon grappler who came close to bringing home a gold medal in the 138- pound division. Paul lost his final match in the tourn- ament after suffering a hand injury in an earlier match. Last but not least was Larry Noel who grappled in the 154-pound division. Larry was defeated in his first match. Both Larry and Paul are back next year and should form a good nucleus around which to build next year’s wrestling squad. Bob Wieland Don Duck Bob Sowers 112 lb. State Champ The Moline Maroon grapplers, coached by Joe Vavrus and assistant coach, A1 Stevens, finished the 1952-53 season with nine wins, five losses, one tie, and a second place in the quadrangular and the invi- tational meets. Paced by State Champ Don Duck and Hunner-up Paul Hoffman, Moline placed sixth in the state wrestling meet. The Moline B team finished with four wins and five losses. Coach Vavrus, pleased with the season ' s results, expects a better wrestling season next year. He expressed his hopes for next year by saying that this year’s team consisted of only three seniors and the rest of the team was composed of juniors and sophomores. Boosted by the experienced grapplers and the sophomores coming up, he feels that Moline will produce a powerful grappling team. A short summary of this year’s season follows. In the quadrangular meet Moline placed second with Bob Wieland and Don Duck taking first place medals in their weights. Moline took a second place in the invi- tational meet in which Bob Wieland, Don Duck, and Hon Granger wrestled to first place honors. Moline tied Rock Island 21-21 as Bob W ieland received the only pin for Moline.

The Maroon grapplers followed by bulldozing the Geneseo team 35-15. The squad flattened Canton to a 40-6 win. Moline defeated Pekin 23-16 but were unable to gain any pins. The Maroons again met Geneseo and defeated them 21-17 as the B team filled in many of the A team’s spots. The Maroon grapplers then downed Sterling 31-15. Meeting Clinton for the second time, Moline again defeated the Kiver Kings 32-8. Moline defeated Peoria Manual next, 35-11. Pins by Bob Wieland, Larry Noel, Paul Hoffman, and Hon Mallicoat accounted for many Maroon points. Moline then received its second loss from Davenport. 9-35. Traveling to New- Trier and Proviso, Moline suffered two defeats as New Trier won 1 1-32 and Proviso 21-26. The Maroon team again lost to Hock Island 20-26 with Paul Hoffman receiving the only pin. This match ended a successful regular season. However, the Maroons went on to conquer further fields at the state tourney. 146 This page sponsored through the courtesy oj The New York Store.

This year’s Maroon linksmen lived up to the high standard set by the powerful preceding teams. They won the Quad-City title in the fall season and took second in the spring. Holding their own in dual compe- tition they won most of their meets and were strong contenders for the Northwest championship and District title later in the year. Only a fourth place was captured in the Quincy Invitational as the boys were handicapped by a sharp wind and general bad weather. Next year should also see an excellent Moline outfit take to the links. Returning will be sophomores, Tom DeSmet and Tom Schrempf, and junior, Ralph Efflandt. Gone, however, will be three-year veterans, Paul Womack and Bob Bloom, and seniors, Jim Gale, Jack Carlson, Jerry Leggett, Paul Aller, and Leon Smith. This page sponsored through the courtesy of The New York Store. 147 Your Add! Handicapped by a lack of experience, the Maroon boys’ net team, under the leadership of Mr. Robert Knees, ran into trouble during their fall and spring seasons. During the fall season, the tennis squad didn’t win any of its matches. However, these matches gave the boys good experience which showed up in their spring practice and matches. Mr. Knees, although n ot down- hearted at the play of his boys, has high hopes for next year’s tennis squad. The only two seniors on the squad are Jerry Swanson and Roger Smith. The rest of the squad is comprised of juniors: George Dellos, Jack Sheley, Bob Young, and sophomores: Steve Gustafson, Ned Snow, and George Seaberg. Mr. Knees is doubly busy as he also coaches the girls’ team. BO S TENNIS. Bottom Row: Jack Sheley, Ned Snow, George Dellos, Jerry Swanson.

Playing a “no luck” fall season, the MHS girls’ tennis team worked hard to make their spring season better. Senior veterans included Toni White, who had some success in singles; Sandra Stegmiller, Dona Welch, Virginia Larson, and Bonnie Hull. These seniors look to six junior girls who will carry on next year as veterans. They are Carole Carlson, Carol Johnson, Betty Klier, Judy Heily, Nancy McChesney, and Katherine Bodenbender. During the fall season, four home meets were held. One of these was the Quad-City conference meet. Tennis teams from East Moline, Rock Island, Davenport and Moline met in competition at the Riverside tennis courts. Out-of-town matches were held at Davenport, East Moline, and Rock Island. Most of the fall meets were singles. The spring season opened with Moline at Davenport. Five other matches were held, Moline playing host to them three times. Opponents again were Davenport, East Moline, and Rock Island. The schedule was evenly divided between single and double games.

On your mark, get set, go! was the cry of the Maroon cinder team which ran into weather trouble that greatly hindered their season’s record. They practiced under the strict eye of coaches BiH Bean and Jack Foley. Schedule difficulty and bad weather caused cancellation of the Davenport Relays, the Sterling Relays, and a Daven- port dual meet. Mr. Bean and Mr. Foley are looking forward to next year’s squad, as only six seniors reported for the team. Those boys were Don Johnson, Ron Granger, Clayton Chel- strom, Ron Slack, Herb Malmstrom, and Paul Stewart. Mr. Bean spent most of his time working with the runners, while Mr. Foley concentrated on coaching the field events.

The baseball team, under the able direction of head coach, Archie Swanson, and his assistant, Bob Barger, was well equipped with seven returning lettermen this year and was one of the better teams in Maroon history. Next year, however, Moline should be one of the more powerful clubs in the state because only four lettermen will graduate. Two of these, Carl Frederickson and Bob Rogers, were mainstays on the mound, and the other two, Jerry Doerr and Bill Klier, were regular infielders. Early season play was highlighted by a brilliant one-hit pitching chore turned in by junior, Dick Hugaert, against Canton. The same afternoon Carl Fredericksen twirled a nice two-hit game and the Maroons snatched both wins from the Little Giants. Rounding out this year’s version of the Moline nine were pitchers. Bob Nelson, Ronnie Drennan, and Don Verstraete; infielders, Don Trull, Jack Rosenberg, Lloyd Lawson, Adrian Winters, John Myers, and Joe Jamison; and outfielders, Darrell Peterson, George Jamieson, J. D. Munn, Gary Slavish, and Virgil Hall. In charge of this year’s squad are Head Coach Archie Swanson and Assistant Coach Bill Barger.

Bottom Row: Sonny Lievens, George Husar, Butch Hannah, Bob Vande Voort. lop Row: Bob Rogers, Stuart Ingwersen, Carl Fredericksen, Jim Cirricione, Art Solis. A mild upset was pulled this year as the Burps, an all junior team, copped the in- tramural championship. Al- though they could only gar- ner a tie for first place with the Getteninies during the regular season play, the Burps showed their class in the playoffs. The Burps opened the tourney by de- feating the Jobbers in two straight games. The Bobcats downed the Getteninies in two out of three game series. The final series was hard fought all the way with the Burps reigning as champs by beating the Bobcats in both games. € ) K 4 ?! 7 Lee SENIOR LETTERMEN are.

These are the boys who have given their time, their talents, and themselves to make the name of Moline High School well known in the field of athletics. Although some of the records of the various teams might have been better, the players were always doing their best and never gave up until the final gun went off. Although these boys have competed on the athletic field for the last time, their talent and spirit will never be forgotten.

HIGHLAND ELECTRIC 184 istorians have a way of wrapping the past in a spartymg coat of glory that often casts a dullness on the present . Time, li e distance , lends enchantment and the heroes and heroines of the history boo s ta e on new color with each passing year. The era itself , of a century ago or longer , sometimes seems to us to have embraced broader vistas of opportunity for greatness and fame. But when we pause to give it thought , we now this isnt true. There Will Always Be a Frontier! We realize that frontiers aren ' t limited to wilderness and prairie and that the garb of the pioneer isn ' t limited to buckskin and calico. We realize that in a hundred different directions lie new worlds to dis- cover, new lands to explore. We realize that these new worlds and new lands lie hidden in the untrod depths of modern science, modern business and industry, and modern government . . . that these fields offer opportunities just as challenging and just as rewarding as any wilderness or any prairie. Then it is that we remark with the great man who once said, So little done, so much to do! So, equipped with the axe of knowledge and the powder horn of courage, the youth of today faces the horizon of the future — prepared to carve a place in it, determined to find a way, or make one! rjssy JOHN DEERE MOLINE, ILL.
