Arts Head Throughout daily class sessions, numerous Moline High students en- deavor to achieve proficiency in the arts— ranging from the fine arts to industrial arts. Growing in the art of awareness, both the crafts and art classes strive to develop the techniques of self-expression through such skills as painting, pottery-making, leather-tooling, sculpturing, and chalk sketching. During the year vocal and instrumental music students work to uphold the tradition of outstanding musical accomplishments at MHS. Joining the mixed choirs and Operetta Workshop in this department this year, is the boys’ glee club. These, as well as the ever-enlarging MHS band and orches- tra, labor tirelessly to learn the basic techniques necessary to please the public in their many performances. Preparation for future work is the aim of the numerous business and vocational courses available to MHS students. Typing is offered in all three classes; those desiring to continue in this area of study may take short- hand, bookkeeping, or general office practice, including stenography and the operation of office machinery. With the emphasis on actual participa- tion, Distributive Education enables students to spend several hours a day as employees in local firms. They also are required to take two hours of D.E. classroom work. In the rooms assigned to the domestic arts, girls electing courses in home economics learn the essentials of using the Basic Seven food chart and the skills involved in creating clothes with the effective use of color, design, and textiles. Meanwhile, MHS boys have the choice of extensive industrial arts training courses. In some phases they plan and design their own tools and machinery, while in others they use these machines in prac- tical situations. Instruction is also offered in shop classes such as elec- tronics, woodworking, and drafting. Arts Increase “Ummm!

Sophomore classes gain valuable education through the exploration of world history— from oriental dynasties to the colonies of the new world. While studying United States history, juniors learn to unearth the problems which have faced our country since the day of Columbus and to meet the inevitable problems of the future. In government, seniors discover the functions of local and national governing bodies. Past and present problems come alive through the social sciences at MHS, as students and teachers work to build a nation of well-informed citizens.
