JULIA E. GETTEMY ELLA M. COCKRELL 1897-1919 at MHS 1920-1950 at MHS Impressions of Fifty Golden Years of EDWIN P. NUTTING 1905-1942 at MHS Impressions made by outstanding teachers early in the history of the “M” have deepened with the years, as today ' s students benefit from their wisdom and many years of experience. As the staff in 1913 pioneered in publishing the first “M,” Julia E. Gettemy, then head of the English department, advised and assisted them in every way possible. Greatly responsible for the success of the first book, she is honored today through the annual senior award for creative writing. Also working with the early staffs was Edwin P. Nutting, MHS principal from 1905 to 1931. Loved by all students and faculty, he directed his energies and talents to developing fine tradition and character at Moline High. Following Miss Gettemy, Ella M. Cockrell joined the faculty as English department head and carried on faith- fully in working with both the “M and Line O ' Type staffs. Since she left MHS in 1950, the Imp has recognized her through its Ella M. Cockrell prose and poetrv awards. In 1923 another of Moline ' s prominent teachers, Dolpn Lain, came to MHS and served for twenty-three years in a variety of capacities ranging from principal and “M” adviser to coach for the Fellowship Minstrel. George F. Senneff, arriving at MHS in 1920, guided Moline ' s athletic fortunes for many years as head coach in football, basketball, and track. Following his death in 1954, the new MHS swimming pool was named in his honor. Assisting Mr. Senneff throughout much of his career was C. W. Holmgren, athletic manager and assistant coach. Retired now from his high school responsibilities, Mr. Holm- gren remembers well the days in 1928 when students sold bonds for money to build the Wharton Field House. After the completion of this project, he served faithfully for thirty-three years as field house manager. Barbara Garst, an MHS graduate, returned in 1924 as an Eng- lish teacher and worked devotedly with drama, debate, and the pub- lications, helping always to strengthen and perpetuate the spirit of MHS. Sharing her wealth of knowledge with students, she con- tinues to channel senior minds in the realms of English literature; while counseling sophomore girls. Despite years of change, the influence of these teachers has taken hold in MHS life; as mere mention of their names awakens vivid memories of the past. 14
