Young in Mind . . . Filled with Experience Creating an active interest in our nation’s affairs, Miss Leona Day has served forty-three years as an educator. This loveable teacher unites her ready wit and sprightly comments with her vast knowledge and undivided interest in the United States’ government. Winning the admiration of all her students, Miss Day has been a great asset not only to the Social Science department but also to all of Moline High School. As the days and months of the year pass in retrospect, youth now stops to glance over the past and to look forward to the future. In the fields of Language and Social Science the youth of MHS will be better able to meet the situations of tomorrow because of the efforts of Miss Leona Day, Miss M. Fern Slusher, and Miss Ruth Vertrees. The 1963 M staff wishes to dedicate the fifty first volume of the Moline High School M to these three women who through their devotion to teaching have imparted to the students of MHS their youthful ideas and interests combined with their valuable years of experience. Through many years of teaching, Miss M. Fern Slusher has succeeded in keeping the classics an important part of learning. This affable personality has combined teaching Latin and sponsoring the Junior Classical League. Her friendly smile and winning ways join to bring the beauty of Roman culture to MHS. Devoted to her profession, Miss Slusher also shows ardent enthusiasm in helping future teachers with their college plans. She certainly will remain in the minds of both the faculty and students as a wonderful “magister.” Serving a dual capacity at MHS, Miss Ruth Vertrees has added much to the lives of her English and Distributive Education students. To her Distributive Education students, she has given valuable training in techniques of successful business. To these students Miss Ver- trees has long been the link between MHS and the businesses of the community. 4
