As principal of MHS, Stanley Smith is eagerly looking forward to the completion of the large addition and the return to a normal program for the students and staff. Overseeing the staggered shift system has been his main concern, and he has highest praise for the cooperation of the students, faculty, and parents. In addition to his ad- ministrati ve duties, Mr. Smith has served with the Uni- versity-High School Articulation Committee. Jay Schaff, assistant principal, was an invaluable mem- ber of our administration. He had the difficult task of scheduling classes for 2300 students. Problems of the stu- dent and teacher were also under his direction. In his last year at MHS Norman Ziebell, activity direc- tor, scheduled all extra-curricular functions and club meet- ings. He supervised the homecoming parade and all of the athletic awards. The nine counselors, three for each grade level, spent much of their time in student-teacher conferences. These talks helped to solve daily problems as well as to prepare students for the future. Counselors were also responsible for recording attendance and disciplinary data. Stanley S. Smith Principal tires this year, reminisce about past Moline sport activities for the ’65-’66 season. Jay Schaff Assistant Principal Counselors Ralph McMinn and Miss Freida Schnowske confer with Jay Schaff about scheduling problems.

Each person must tell one of his choice. Because of its importance in communication, English usage was highly stressed this year at MHS. It was of- fered at all three grade levels, but was required of sopho- mores and juniors only. With the consent of the tenth grade instructors, jun- iors chose from American Literature, Journalism, Com- munications, and Honors English. More emphasis was placed on the oral aspect of the language, as juniors prepared various reports and speeches during the semes- ter under the Oral English program. Those who elected to pursue English in the senior year took composition and English literature courses. A combined lit and comp course was again covered by Miss Garst and Mr. Adam. Team teaching was used to provide a better literature background through ad- ditional lectures. Seniors who wished to continue the oral program could also take the Speech course, which was conducted on a semester basis. Although grammar, spelling, and composition were emphasized during the year, more stress was given to weekly vocabulary study in all classes. Its purpose was to increase the student’s knowledge and to provide a correlation between both oral and written English. U
