Moline Senior High, A Growing School Moline Senior High, a growing school in a growing community on the Mississippi -This quotation well describes the many changes in the population of both our school and our city which have taken place since the fall of 1953 when this year's graduating class entered Moline High as sopho- mores. This class, the first to enter from the iunior highs as sophomores since 1946, greatly boosted the number of stu- dents at MHS. In 1952 there were 683 students. At present that number has almost doubled to a total of 1359 The num- ber of faculty members has also increased from 45 to 66 in the same span of years. Estimates by school ofllcials indicate that in 1960 approximately 1570 students will be enrolled. Besides the main building and the high school annex, students have classes in other buildings. These include a sep- arate industrial arts building, the Wharton Field House, where boys attend physical education classes, and the YMCA, where students go for swimming classes. The construction of a new 53,500,000 high school, which will house all of the classes, is now in progress. The first stage of grading on a fifty-acre site and the letting of contracts have iust been completed for this building which will accommodate 1750 students. The city of Moline itself has also greatly increased in population since the 1950 census of 37,397 persons. Presently, it is estimated that 41,600 people are living in Moline. Stu- dents of our high school have many opportunities in a city of Moline's size, as well as benefits from the numerous edu- cational, commercial, and cultural facilities of a large com- munity, the Quad-Cities, which now numbers approximately 250,200 persons. Becoming a good citizen is an essential part of each student's development. Consequently, the community and the high school are closely associated. On the following pages of this opening section are pictures depicting the place of both the high school and the student in the community. Aca- demic, athletic, social, and extra-curricular activities all con- tribute to the enriching and broadening of each student's life. Pictures of these phases are also shown throughout this section. ln the preceding paragraphs, a few statistics and in- teresting facts concerning the last few years and the future of our school and our community have been given. Now, the M staff would like to give a record of the school year, 1955-1956, Each symbol of our everyday school life and of our varied activities-the class schedule, the athletic tickets, the permit slips, the Fine Arts Production tickets and pro- grams, the report.cards-all are but reminders of this year's record, which you, the reader, will witness throughout this book ....
