College-bound, numerous 46 graduates returned to the same beloved halls and rooms which, for them, were under a new name— Moline Community College. Friends met joyfully and soldiers re- turned; MCC, sharing the high school facilities, served the com- munity needs. In the blistering heat of summer, 1958, as a massive, new, blue and blond building grew out of steel girders, glass, and bricks; the old and crumbling annex was swept over by need and safety-con- scious Moliners, leaving seventy years of life in rubble. Soon, it was cleared; and the space, once the spirit of MHS, was put to a modem use. September, 1958, saw the “M” leave the old, memory-filled building; the college took over and enlarged its curriculum to serve more students— both young and old. At last, it was time for the sprawling new structure to become the home of 1700 students; they and their teachers moved somewhat hesitantly into the spacious and unfamiliar halls still filled with the varied odors of newness. Shining new plastic desks, multi-colored classrooms, and new and important traditions became a part of MHS. Presenting this awesome building and its students to the community, the publications recorded Mo- line ' s drama, music, athletics, curriculum, and clubs as they grew and enjoyed the modern facilities. Planning for the future, Moline and her neighbors voted in December, 1961; and the old building, deserted by MHS youth, won a new name— Blackhawk Junior College, which promises to serve the vast Mississippi Valley. After a half century of sweeping changes and successes, the “M” has evolved for the fiftieth time to show again the story of MHS . . . 6
