Moline High School Class Of 1961

The Old Central School in Moline

The old "Central School" was located on the terrace overlooking downtown Moline and the Mississippi River. It replaced a the first school, a wooden structure, that had burden down when the janitor stoked a hot fire in the furnace before going home for the evening. The lower floor was for the elementary grades while the upper floor was the Moline High School. When a new Moline High School was built west of this building (nicknamed the Castle), Central School was renamed Washington Elementary. Later, this structure was torn down to make way for a high rise apartment for the elderly. A new fire department was built on the front part of the terrace. Allendale can be seen in the back on the right.

MHS Class of 1961 Monthly Get-together

Beginning May 2, 2012, the Reunion Committee has set the first Wednesday of each month as our regular monthly get-together for you and your classmates. We will meet at The Palace at 701-15th Avenue in downtown East Moline from 6-8 PM (until further notice). We understand this is the $1 Taco night at The Palace. Please "drop in" for a few minutes to say hi and to visit with your classmates!


Sorry for the Recent Web Site Interruption

Our internet service provider (ISP) recently had a problem with the "Server" for our Web Pages and our Web Site was down for a few days. They have assured us that the problem has been fixed. If you noticed the problem again in the future, please do not hesitate to tell Darrel Hagberg. Thank You.

 

The 50th Reunion Video Is Great !

After some delay, classmates started receiving their Video of the 50th Reunion from Raines Video Productions in early November (The delay was caused in the video production process).

The video contains many interviews and candid close ups of most everyone at the reunion and the Friday night ice breaker. The video is well done and over 2 hours and 20 minutes long. This is longer than the 80-90 minutes promised! The video costs $29.99 with $4.00 for shipping and handling. Contact information is provided below for convenience. Raines will also take phone orders. Because the production process is now complete for this video, no further delays are expected on any new orders.

Please note that our Reunion makes no money on sale of this video and that the committee cannot be involved or responsible for any transactions between yourself and Raines Video Productions.

Larry Wiemers has been elected to be the Chairperson for the 55th Reunion.

At our final 50th reunion wrap up meeting on August 17, 2011, the committee elected Larry Wiemers chairperson for the 55th reunion. We congratulate Larry for this and on the fine job that he did on the 50th reunion where he served as treasurer and on various sub-committees including the memorial committee. Larry will have the support from all of our committee members as we look forward to the 55th reunion.

The 50th Reunion was a great success and we had a great turn out, over 200 people attended the reunion plus we had a great number of people at the Friday function as well. The class came out a little over of breakeven on costs due in part to the many sponsors that helped out with their donations. We are also in good shape on money reserves for our next reunion. Thanks again to everyone for helping to support this event. A special thanks to Larry Warren for the memorial, Roger Davis for the invocation, and Jim Jamieson for the toast. The committee will reactivate again in about 3-1/2 years.

Thank You from the Committee for Supporting our 50th Reunion!
