Bill Haywood, president, Jo Velon literary board, and Randy Munn vice-president, warn Larry Guerrero literary board, not to tred on the M.' Cl ss of ' 9 First Grads of New School First in, first out! This fall the Class of 1959 became the first senior class to attend the new high school. As a small cog in the wheel of progress in education in Moline, they felt justifiably proud to have helped establish new traditions and utilize for the first time the new facilities. Busier than ever, the seniors soon found time slipping quickly by as their many activities, coupled with the ever- present homework, seemed to eat away the days. Homecoming found them cheering for the uMaroons and acclaiming their royalty. A sparkling comedy, You Canlt Take It VVith You, provided many laughs as the senior class initiated the new auditorium. Seareely settled in the new building, they found them- selves out of school for an unusual 'iholidayu - - a bomb scare, Hardly anything to take lightly, the students found that a threat to the new school was enough to give even the hardiest of people an eerie feeling. Even early confusion seemed unable to quell the desire to study as the seniors kept in mind their approaching col- lege and business careers. This was evidenced by the large membership in the National Honor Society --- 69 maintain- ing a 3.5 average or better. Scholastic ability was not the only brightspot in the senior class as many athletes were also outstanding. Humor and wit found their place as the students spent many hilarious hours preparing for the annual ADC Fellowship production. Throughout the year, seniors spearheaded many such worthy campaigns as Red Cross, Muscular Dystrophy, Share Joys Buy Toys, and Red Feather by devoting much time and effort to these worthwhile projects. Holy Week services were a great success as students gave inspirational talks which were of interest to students and faculty alike. As the days fiew by, the seniors apprehensively awaited the hard-earned diplomas and busily completed their last year in a whirlwind of activity. The gala setting of the Senior Ball gave way to the solemn and sad procession at graduation as they finally reached the culmination of over twelve years of studying. All of these things will be remembered by the Class of 1959 - the first graduates of the new high school.
