A Gold Tassel and a School That Still Feels Like HomeCarol recalls entering high school timidly in fall 1954 and graduating boldly in 1957 in the top fourth of her class. She still treasures her gold graduation tassel and drives past the former school when returning to Moline, mourning its conversion into an architectural firm while retaining a sense of belonging. Ironically, the new Moline High School was completed in 1958 within walking distance of her childhood home.
