PEOPLE is a trademark of Time incorpo- rated and is used by special oermission. Winners are created within themselves; glory shows so lit- tle of so much of an athlete. BITTERSWEET RELEASE D120 A four year struggle ends in dreams for the future and memories of the past. This year, like all others, has had it's tragedies. Among them were the earthquake in Italy, the eruption of Mount St. Helens, the flood in Texas, and the tornado in Hemlock. Although neither an earthquake in Italy nor a flood in Texas affected local residents, we were all brushed by tragedy during the destructive storm which touched Hemlock in Au- gust. We weren't covered in vol- canic ash from Mt. St. Helens, nor buried in rubble from an earth- quake, nor flooded from our homes by rising water, but we came face to face with nature's devasting power. Trees were uprooted; power was interrupt- ed; property was destroyed. Hemlock residents realized na- ture's powerful force cannot be controlled. We escaped, but we all felt a small part of the fear those Washington, Italian, and Texan residents endured. The t980 winter Olympics, held in Lake Placid, New York, brought excitement to coun- tries as large as the United States and as small as Liech- tenstein. Thrilling perfor- mances from great U.S. ath- letes like speed skaters Beth and Erik Heiden brought a feel- ing of pride to the American people. The American fans watched anxiously up to the final buzzer to see the United States hockey team's Impos- sible Dream come true, as they beat the seemingly invin- cible Soviets. But dreams of gold were shattered for some of the American athletes. Any hope of gold for the United States womens ski team was turned away by spectacular performances by Liechten- stein's Hanni Wenzel. A brave comeback by the United States skier Phil Mahre, whose ankle is held together by a metal plate and four screws did not earn him a gold metal, but he was certainly a con- tender. Linda Fratianne, America's expected gold win- ner in the figure skating had to settle for a silver metal, al- though she put on a very beautiful show. In the mens' fi- gure skating, American hope- ful Charlie Tickner did no bet- ter than a fourth place finish. But the biggest disappoint- ment came in the double fi- gure skating America's dou- bles Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardener, Olympic favorites, had their dreams of gold shat- tered by the misfortune of a leg injury suffered by Garden- er in preparation for their com- petition. Their four years of strenuous work went for naught as the injury forced them to bow out of the com- petition, much in the way the summer olympians did. Due to Russia's invasion of Afghani- stan, the American Govern- ment boycotted the summer Olympic games, refusing to send the American athletes to compete in Moscow. Many other countries joined the boycott. It isn't known how well the American athletes would have done. But there were some great American athletes who didn't get to compete. Among these were Kurt Thomas, United States' fantastic gymnast. He was ex- pected by many to bring LIFE AROUND US home the gold. Bill Rodgers, four-time winner of the Boston Marathon was also expected to win the gold metal. And the American basketball team, said by many to be the best basketball team in history, never had the chance to prove their skill. Not going to the summer Olympics was a painful, but noble thing for the American athletes to do. They made the American people as proud of them as they were of the winter olympians. Very few Hemlock students were able to actually cast their vote in the 1980 Presiden- tial election. However, nearly everyone got the chance to make his choice known in sev- eral mock elections held in the classrooms on election day. The results, in nearly all of them, were indicative of actu- al nationwide standings, with Republican representative, Ronald Reagan, pulling through in a landslide. Demo- cratic President, Jimmy Carter, and Independent can- didate, John Anderson, were defeated in nearly every state and classroom. Though some felt that Mr. Carter had put in an amiable four years, most students and actual voters believed his opposition's cam- paign slogan was true, It's time for a change . The change was made, and on November 5th, the nation awoke to a new leader. A great loss was felt in the world late one tragic night. John Lennon, former Beatle and one of the best song writ- ers of all time, died on the night of December eighth. As he walked from his car to the apartment complex where he was gunned down by Mark David Chapman for no appar- ent reason. The world was shocked by this immoral slay- ing. We will never forget his sensitive songs and dynamic performances. John Lennon was a lover of mankind, and his love was reflected in many of his songs. In a united effort with co-Beatles Paul McCart- ney, George Harrison, and Ringo Star, he made his mark on many of our lives by making rock-n-roll what it is today. Most don't remember John Lennon or the Beatles very well but their music lives on. Between Lennon and McCart- ney, songs were written that touched every ones lives. But it was Lennon's songs that touched us most. These four men especially McCartney and Lennon, were musical and poetic geniusus. We'll miss John Lennon and his talent. But we will never stop enjoying the music he has shared with us. People all over the world were bound with one com- mon interest. The interest was obvious when millions tuned into watch the television series DALLAS and find out who shot J.R. Larry Hagman's J.R. is the dastardly scheming member of the Ewing family who stops at nothing to get what he wants. His popularity was proven when 350 million peo- ple in 57 countries forgot their troubles and tuned in to see him shot. The show made in- dustries go wild by producing J.R. jeans, t-shirts, bumper stickers, card games, and beer. Anyone that appeared on one episode was consid- ered a suspect. Surveys were taken to ask people's opinion on the shooting. The answer ranged from his one and a half year old baby to his mother to his revenge hungry wife Sue El- len. the main suspect. But in the end we learned it was his mistress Kristin who did it. W ' J. p 8 M Hi mother -sme J, ' wh Jl - v ' «hs twwn IN STEP Not even the rain could stop the homecoming from being a success. Huskie fans lined the streets under gray skies as the step off onto Elm Street began the parade. Each group participating in the float contest did a fine job, but the Soph- omore, Senior, and FFA floats were standouts, taking 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes, respectively. The middle and high school bands marched in the festivities, adding music and enthusi- asm. The police and fire departments also participated, ac- companied by clowns and horses. The ever darkening clouds finally gave way, drenching spectators and participants alike. But all through the evening, right into the final seconds of the game, Fluskie spirit was not dampened. The team showed drive and determination, but were ultimately de- feated by Bullock Creek, 34-21. We attended our pep assem- blies in a united effort to gener- ate spirit to push our team to a victory. At these assemblies we showed our tremendous Huskie feeling. But, one stood apart from the rest. On the day of our homecoming we had our most emotional rally of the football season. It featured the an- nouncement of the homecom- ing king. Barney Hingston, and queen, Hope Wade. Also an- nounced was the homecoming court-Joe Gorney, Vince Smith, Dan Kehoe, Jennifer Chapin, Debbie Gulliver, and Renee Udell. Junior representatives were Judy Kade and Don Early. Sophomore representatives were Wendy Long and Scott Gorsline. The Freshman represen- tatives were Chris Prezzato and Jeff Durfee. TOGETHER Mixing talent and skits, the Salt Light Co. entertained us at one of our school assemblies. The bright, young musicians showed off their musical talent in a medley of popular songs along with a tribute to the music of the 50's. Students and faculty enjoyed the assembly-especially Mr. Blue. 7 DECKED OUT Young men and women gathered in their sophistication of high heels and three piece suits to celebrate the annual homecoming dance. Queen Hope and King Barney escort- ed by Jennifer and Joe, Renee and Dan, and Debbie and Vince opened the dancing to the theme song Shin- ing Star. They were joined by Chris and Jeff, Wendy and Scott, and Judy and Don. Although the band wasn't exactly a model of excellence. Hem- lock spirits were high, and whether they went alone or with a date they went with pride and had a good time. 1. Homecoming Court Front Row; Deb Guliver, Hope Wade, Renee Udell.

They started off their season earlier than most students by attending sum- mer camp where they won two second place ribbons and a third. Then they bounced their way through the football games, includ- ing a sopping experience with Frankenmuth They dominated the Mid-Michi- gan Pom Pon Clinic, winning a second place trophy and the most outstanding Kick- line Trophy. Next, came the varsity basketball season, a girl's basketball game, and a wrestling match, through which the girls continued gracefully. Altogether the squad constructed and per- formed seventeen routines and put on two Parent's Nights for our athletes, showing once again that spirit still lives at Hemlock High.

The J.V. and Varsity won first place, best dance routine, and many other awards. The Varsity squad was voted the most spirited by the other squads and received dynamite sticks for their outstanding spirit. The Cheerleaders also attended the Dynamic Cheer- leaders Association's day at C.M.U. and won first and second place trophies. The cheers and spirit were displayed at pep assemblies, games, and in the halls. From the Freshmen to the Varsity squad spirit has been the key word. Top Row; Judy Wurtzel.

Under this year's advisor. Miss Darland, they sponsored the first school dance with Brad Mell- berg as the D.j. They also shared the responsibilities of Homecoming with the Junior class. It turned out to be a very successful event. There were several special assem- blies that the group put on, includ- ing Salt Light Co. and the Air Aces. The student council hopes they've achieved their goal this past year, which was to get more of the student body to participate in school activities.

Swarthout Career Resource Coordinator 21 McAllister has been employed by the Rainbow Bread Co. and the C O Railroad. Although liking the students must make Mr. McAllis- ter's job more enjoyable to him, teaching is not his only interest. When asked what he'd do if he weren't teaching, Mr. McAllister said he would enjoy working as a museum curator. Isn't it understandable that our phys- ical education teacher, Mr. Wallace, says football is his favorite sport? As our head football coach, he has had the best area record in the past dec- ade. Although he has been a referee and worked in road construction, Mr. Wallace would choose to raise horses if he didn't teach. Mr. and Mrs. Wal- lace and their two daughters live on their own little horse ranch here in Hemlock. Mr . Heath, physical education teacher, has been at Hemlock for fif- teen of her twenty-one years of teaching. You would be most likely to find her on her way to class with a Twinkie in, or on the way to, her mouth or settled into the student center watching her Pom-Pon girls learn their routines. She's very athle- tic and loves badminton. If she wer- en't teaching, she would backpack and camp with her husband and their three children. After completing his studies at Bay City Junior College, Delta, and C.M.U., Mr. McAllister has spent all of his sixteen teaching years at Hemlock. Teaching auto classes at Hemlock was not his first job. Mr. Years ago. Mr. Otter appeared in the Huskie yearbook. Then, there were several years absence. The mysterious absence was traced to four years at Central Michigan University and five years in the math department at Bad Axe High School. For the past fifteen years, he's been back in our yearbook and our school lives. He's also been a part of the lives of numer- ous basketball, football, and base- ball players as their coach. He presently teaches mathematics and computer programming. C.M.U. graduate, Mrs. Thering, packed her college years full of sec- retarial work at the registrar's office as well as for English teachers. Her satisfying teaching experience at Hemlock hasn't dimmed in her four- teen years here. Mrs. Thering is ad- dicted to fattening foods, golf, and her two children. A job in a Manhat- tan publishing firm would tempt our college English instructor, but never claim her. 22 FACULTY If you're looking for a real meet-and- potatoes man. our assistant football coach Mr. Krueger would be a good choice. Steak and potatoes are his favorite food, football his favorite sport and education his big concern. A fourteen-year veteran at Hemlock, Mr. Krueger teaches math. He's mar- ried with two children, ages six and nine. He was taught here and he's back to teach biology. Mr. West must really like Hemlock. After attend- ing Alma College and CMU, Mr. West taught for four years in Bad Axe and then returned to Hemlock where he's been for thirteen years. Mr. West and his wife have four daughters, ages 12.10,6. and 3. Mr. Luebkert must be a busy man with expensive taste. Steak and lobster suits this Saginaw High. Del- ta College, and C.M.U. graduate fine. Before he even began teaching business courses fifteen years ago, fourteen of them at Hemlock he worked on the Ches- sie System Railroad, Steering Gear, and Chrysler Corp. Mr. Luebkert is the advisor of B.O.E.C. (Business and Office Club). Mr. Luebkert lives nearby with his wife and two sons. Having taught for fifteen years, twelve of them here at Hemlock, Mrs. Goward finds being a part of this school system a positive exper- ience in a positive environment. The mother of two children, 13 and 8, she enjoys lobster, swimming (only the dog paddle), and watching gymnas- tics. She is currently involved with a Reading Task Force program here at Hemlock. Working with people is one thing Mrs. Goward will never give up. Mrs. Gardner's twelve years in the Hemlock school system have been filled with writing courses. Her seven year-old daughter often helps the classes by lending her books, mark- ers, and ideas. Mrs. Gardner ad- vanced from driving a tractor as a child in Brant to receiving a degree at Oakland University. She feels that the staff and a majority of the stu- dents are special, motivated, and creative people.'' Mrs. Gunther no longer sells caramel apples, but she dreams of $ 100,000 a year jobs. Along with her dreams, she eats chili and enjoys figure skating. This graduate of Saginaw Valley and Central Michigan University has spent all of her twelve-year career in Hem- lock High School, teaching journalism. The Gunthers and their two sons live in Freeland, but she loyally thinks Hemlock is one of the best school dis- tricts in the area. which include public relations work, criticizing films, and golfing. She is one of Hemlock's greatest fans and also enjoys watching gymnastics and figure skating. Miss Zarr enjoys her teaching ca- reer at Hemlock where she spent her high school years. Who likes to eat anything but liver, likes basketball and boxing, and once farmed? Mr. Hogan, biology and general science teacher, that's who. He is married and has four chil- dren. He has been teaching for fif- teen years, ten of them at Hemlock. If he could be doing something other than teaching, he would like to repair small engines. He finds the students, and the staff hard working and easy to get along with. Mr. Agresta feels that being a teacher is not something he does, it is a part of himself and he could hardly be someone else. While at- tending the University of Norte Dame, he was a lifeguard, but he gave it up after graduation to be- come the protector of high school students' psyches. He coaches cross country, runs avidly, and talks profusely, profoundly, and rapidly. This father of three has been teaching for twenty-one years, eleven of them spent at Hemlock teaching economics. Mrs. Bugni, C.M.U. graduate, left the north woods of Harrison to begin teaching in Reese fifteen years ago. She may not swim as much since she left Budd Lake, but she can find plen- ty of her favorite Italian restaurants in the Saginaw area. She feels that she has succeeded when her students enter the Steno job market with em- ployable skills. Mrs. Bugni, who's been with Hemlock High School eleven years, is married with two children. 24 A nurses' aid, a clerk, a reception- ist. and a Hemlock High teacher of eleven years are just some of the sides to our ninth grade English teacher. Miss Zarr. Teaching is only one of her many interests .j+mL:� iAii .. ' aw w«s ENTRY SHEET IN THE 1 I J0' SECTION VKD TH His knowledge of Europe comes in handy at Hemlock High. Mr. Vree, a native from Holland, teaches Ger- man I and II. French I and II, and Mod- ern Age. In the past Mr. Vree has taught World History. Who worked at Farmer Peet's as his first job and still likes to eat high on the hog? Mr. Adams. Steak and lobster are his favorite dishes. After Farmer Peet's. Mr. Adams came to Hemlock to teach in the business dept. In his tenth year teaching, he's now taken on the job of coaching Freshmen Basket- ball. He is the business manager for the yearbook staff and. therefore FACULTY helped bring this book to your hands. Why not drop by the ac- counting room and say Thanks! For nine years Mr. Rosselit has en- joyed the relaxed atmosphere of Hemlock High School. A star-runner from Midland High School, Mr. Rosselit finds coaching track enjoyable. His wife and young son. carpentry, run- ning, and seafood are some of his favorite things. Mr. Rosselit finds the size of Hemlock is just about perfect for getting to know staff and stu- dents Mr Rosselit teaches wood shop. Perhaps one day we will see Miss Kossayda’s art work hanging in muse- ums around the world, or being sold for millions of dollars. But in the mean- time, she has been teaching art and serving as Hemlock's yearbook advi- sor for seven years. After graduating from St. Mary's Academy and M.S.U.. she finds the country scenery in and around Hemlock a pleasant change from her native Detroit. Who else ever wanted to be an Edsel. graduated from Brecken- ridge High School and loves straw- berry shortcake? Mr. Taylor, that's who! Aside from teaching Math and Science for nine years, Mr Taylor and his wife have a three and a half year old girl. Mr. Taylor keeps busy coaching foot- ball and advising the Junior and Senior classes. Mr. Townsend is now known all over the state for his wrestling achievements. In fact, this year, he had his one-hundreth victory for H.H.S.. who has had his talent for nine years. He graduated from C.M.U. and started teaching here at Hemlock. If he could be doing something else other than teach- ing, he and his wife would prob- ably farm. Mr. Townsend loves teaching business in Hemlock's pleasant and enjoyable atmo- sphere. Mr. Blaine, teacher, assistant wrestling coach, and Junior Achievements advisor, graduated from Arthur Hill before attending Delta and Central. He did various jobs at Steering Gear, Chevy Manufacturing, Means Stamping, HUD, and U.P.S. to help meet col- lege costs. He went on to teach for a half year in the city of Sagi- naw before putting in another six years in at Hemlock. If Mr. Blaine isn't eating at a Mexican or Chi- nese restaurant, he might be found wrestling or dirt cycling. Giv- en a chance to be a car, Mr. Blaine's choice would be a Cor- vette. That would be a stylish way to carry his camera equipment, for if he wasn't a special educa- tion teacher, he'd like to be a free lance photographer. A six-year teaching veteran, Mr. Blue has spent all this time at Hem- lock teaching history. The former graduate from C.M.U. and S.V.S.C., finds the students and their parents most friendly in this area. Assistant coaching both track and football, Mr Blue discov- ers the latter more to his liking. A lover of all foods, football, and teaching, he also loves his wife and children. Mrs. Dennis has been Hemlock's home economics teacher for five years out of her thirteen-year career. She also has found time to raise five children, ranging in ages from 10 to 22. While working her way through M.S.U., Merrill-Palmer Institute, and C.M.U., Mrs. Dennis held jobs as a kitchen helper, a salad cook, and a telephone operator, Although she began teaching in Chelsea, she states. Hemlock students are tops! FACULTY Construction, shoe salesman, bus- boy, and bartender were the part time jobs Mr. Murphy had while at- tending C.M.U. He came to Hemlock in 1975 after teaching in Bad Axe. He enjoys the open attitude of our school. If Mr. Murphy weren't teach- ing English, he would like to be coaching at college. However, he seems to be quite comfortable here, enjoying Hemlock's spirit of joie de vivre. Hopefully, Mr. Sutton will remain teaching for a long time, because if he weren't a teacher he would like to race cars as fast as he could. This is one drivers ed. in- structor who could end up with lots of tickets. Before Mr. Sutton came to H.H.S. six years ago to teach mechanical drawing, he graduated from John Glenn High and attended Delta and C.M.U. Besides cross country skiing and eating Mexican food Miss Riba is interested in her students. She at- tended Grand Valley State and once worked for a spring and wire company before she began teaching six years ago. If she wer- en't a special ed. teacher, she would probably go back to school for another career. But then we'd miss her cheery smile in our halls. Mr. Roblshaw began his math teach- ing career in Hemlock after graduat- ing from Michigan State five years ago. He enjoys many sports, but we suspect he often finds it difficult to scuba-dive in Michigan. He does find time for at least one match of volley- ball every week. This Bridgeport High School graduate is married and has one son. Miss Darland, a three-year teaching veteran at Hemlock, in the history dept, graduated from C.M.U. She fi- nanced her college career with jobs in fast food restaurants, factories, and a department store. Although Hemlock is a big change from Miss Darland's alma mater, Royal Oak Kimball, her only real complaint about H.H.S. is the picture of her they keep publishing in the yearbook. We'll change it, honest. Mr. Fisher has been teaching for six years, three of which have been spent at Hemlock. While attending Lewis College, he worked as a library assistant, a construction worker, and a restaurant cook. Mr. Fisher's special joy and talent at Hemlock has been building the theatrics program. He's already managed to bring a great deal of attention to it. In addition to all three dramatic productions, Mr. Fisher coaches debate and forensics. We wonder when his wife ever gets to see him. In our own midst we have a pro- fessional basketball player. Varsity basketball coach Mr. Piazza dur- ing 1977-78 played professional basketball in the European League. If he could do something other than teach, he would like to be a full time basketball coach at the college or pro level. He has been teaching for two years, which has been spent at Hemlock. He is married, likes to play golf, and eat popcorn. Mr. Piazza teaches health education. Mr. Nelson began his teaching career in Hemlock two years ago. An avid tennis player and a lover of basketball, he has spent equal time enjoying both of these sports. While attending C.M.U., he was a tennis instructor for the students. This year he is a freshman basket- ball coach for the Huskies. If he weren't teaching Science we might find Mr. Nelson conversing with computers. He and his wife now live in this area. Mrs. Mentus began life and would like to finish it settled on a farm. Cur- rently she is the F.F.A. advisor at H.H.S.. and teaches agriculture. Mrs. Mentus. a first year teacher, loves teaching and finds it exciting and re- warding. She has had many chances to compare jobs. She worked as a secretary, an apartment manager and a sales person in a clothing store. Busy as Mrs. Mentus is. she finds time to enjoy pizza and quiche. 28 FACULTY Miss Blough is Hemlock High's band and choir director. She graduated from Grandville High School and was an under graduate at M.S.U. At this time she taught guitar and flute les- sons and was a cafeteria student su- pervisor. Her first real job came seven years ago as band director for Owendale-Gagetown schools. Though she's only been teaching at Hemlock for a year, she believes the H.H.S. faculty and staff is the best she's ever worked with. Mr. Schrotenboer reversed the old saying and moved east from Grand Rapids. His first stop was C.M.U. and then on to Hemlock eight years ago. He's helped run recredtion programs, driven school buses, coached, and now is teaching pro at the racquetball club. Mr. Schrotenboer moved into the world of work washing Mom's dishes. He now teaches math in the middle school and business dt the high school. He has a seven-year-old daughter. 29 Hemlock High gives it's students a large choice of classes from which to chose. It offers a vocational program with on-the- job-training to those chosing to go to work after graduation. For students on their way to higher education, it offers a fine college prep program. To add a little spice to school life there are many elective classes. CURRICULUM c.o. Mike Prazatto Aeron.

For high school stu- dents who think they might want to go into office related jobs, we have a two-hour steno- secretarial training program in addition to sev- eral other business classes. Hemlock High also offers its students a chance to take any num- ber of vocational classes ranging from aviation to floral design at the C.O.C. in Saginaw. But since only a few students will be chosen to take C.O.C. courses, we duplicate some of them on a small scale here at Hemlock. For our shade-tree mechanics we have auto courses from tune-up and auto body to engine over- haul. Future architects will be interested in me- chanical drawing and architechual drawing. For those who like to work with their hands we offer Woodworking I and II. 31 ACADEMIC-Hemlock not only offers its stu- dents choices but guides them by requiring classes that are applicable in everyday life after school. Freshman are hit hard with re- quired courses like, English, physical educa- tion, health, science, and math. Even though these classes are required, the student is al- lowed a choice for each class. For Sopho- mores, only English and physical education are required. Juniors have it easy with only American history and English required. Sen- iors must take economics, government, and modern age. For those students who plan to attend college after high school there is an excellent college prep program including such courses as physics, computer program- ming, typing, and College English, algebra and geometry. 32 CURRICULUM Curriculm ELECTIVES-To make school a little more ex- citing and to give the students a choice be- yond the requirements, electives are of- fered. Electives could be either vocational, academic, or enriching. Twenty-three courses are offered ranging from band, choir, and German to future teaching. Elec- tives are offered every hour, so when stu- dents schedule their class load they can break-up” their day. The classes could be an extension of an academic program. 35 Hear The Band . ..

FFA's new advisor, Mrs. Cheryl Mentus, started the year rolling profitably by selling mums, candy, and fruit; not bad for her first year of teaching. In the spring, members worked on the Big Acre farm and planned for National FFA week. The mem- bers are also strong competitors. Their Home- coming float won third place, and Hemlock was the only chapter to compete in all categories in the District Contest. 44 Toward New Horizons Back Row: G. Woolever. H. Suppes. Second Row: E. Hare. T. Mulvaney. D. Hughes. Front Row: J. Everman, S. Stadler. Students who have completed or are presently enrolled in home-ec. classes are eligible to become a Hero member. As a fund raiser, they sold cookbooks. This effort raised over $800 for them to obtain supplies for the Home-ec. de- partment. 45 Dukes Of Debating Back Row; Michael Fisher-advisor. Lisa Stroebel, Kevin Kazmerski, Scott Shomaker, Amy Hubbard. Front Row; Chris Etienne, Lynn Kelley, Ann Wudel, Kristen Miller. This year the debate team did especially well un- der the direction of Mr. Mi- chael Fisher. The students competed at Bullock Creek, Essexville Garber, and Carrollton. Many stu- dents came home victori- ous from these meets. For the third year of the team's existence, they looked bet- ter than they ever did. This is mainly because of the help from Mr. Fisher and also the special help from Marilee Mouser, a college debater. All in all, this year's team should be applauded for not only their victories, but for their efforts. 46 Forensics Forges Forward Back Row; Michael Fisher-advisor. Bill Wade, Lisa Stroebel.

The McDonald family experienced many romances, and even a near divorce. Their home was invaded by everyth- ing from a horde of female hikers to a domesticated indian. As do most plays, The Egg and I had a happy ending that left the au- dience satisfied. Michael Fisher, director, can certainly be proud of his actors. The play, presented on November 21 22, was well- attended both evenings. 51 Bye, Bye Birdie CAST Albert Peterson . Rose Alvarez____ Helen........... Nancy .......... Alice........... Margie Ann ....

The musical, presented on April 9, 10, and 11, was the largest production ever attempted at Hemlock High School, and it was a great success. The female lead in the musical was Rose Alvarez, played by Jill Schiedt and the male lead was Albert Peterson, played by Kevin Kazmerski. The director was Mike Fisher, and he was assist- ed by three student directors, Wendy Schultz, Laurie Grubaugh, and Amy Hubbard. Miss Kossayda and her art students also contribut- ed with their art display. Time Out From Class We have enjoyed many good assemblies this past year. The assemblies have included everything trom pep assemblies to the Good Time Mime. In some of the assemblies, participation was needed from the audi- ence and the faculty. Ev- eryone looked forward to the coming, sensational at- tractions. 54 Out On The Floor Vibrating speakers and blinding ex- plosions are just two characteristics of the school's most popular function. Guests included Greg Awad and Al- most Live, Starfire, and Mel Disco. They entertained us with rock, disco, and even country. Each D.J. brought his own specialized light show to accompany the music. Dances are obviously a much enjoyed activity at Hemlock High School. 55 56 The 1981 Spring Prom, held at Delta Col- lege, brought many couples to enjoy the music of Audio Entertainment. Between dances, the couples had refreshments and strolled through the courtyard. Mem- ory books were given out, pictures were taken, by Wolff's, and hearts with each couple's names were also given out. The 1981 prom was certainly The Best of Times. The Best Of Times 57 Food 'N Friends Good fun, good food, and lots of awards, add up to the Jr. Sr. Banquet. The 1981 ban- quet was held at Delta College, which pro- vided us with a convenient dining area and relaxing atmosphere which contributed to the theme The Best of Times . Preceding the dinner was a slide presentation by Brad Rye, with the help of Don Early, Mary «richer, and Joe Spadaro. The dinner consisted of roast beef, chick- en, ham, potatoes, corn, salads, pie, milk, and coffee. Following the meal, awards were presented by Debbie Darby. The Junior and Senior class presidents spoke along with comments by Mr. West, and closing remarks by Mr. Taylor. 58 59 Awards And Recognition 60 The 1980-81 Awards Assembly had a large turnout, filling the gym to capacity. Hemlock's high aca- demic achievers were recognized and awarded with medals and certificates. Also recognized was Hemlock's first writing contest for both teachers and students in the areas of essay, poetry, and short story. Another highlight of the evening was a song, dedicated to Joel Baase, written and sung by Dave Keenan. National Honor Soci- ety was honored, and the Senior members received their cords from the Junior members. FFA Award Charles Neuenfeldt Art Awards: Mark Koboldt, Suzanne Turner. Rend RLdell.

The Sophomore spirit didn't end when they lost the pep jug to the Seniors at the last pep assembly after having earned it throughout the year.

Our Huskies had some trouble adjusting to these changes, so they had to fight even harder for the few victories they accom- plished. Despite playing one of the toughest schedules of all time in the history of Hemlock Football, the' players displayed tremendous effort by defeating top ranked Carrollton by a score of 14-7.

The team accom- plished such goals as being the first Hemlock Freshman team to beat Bay City John Glenn, beating an excellent Bay City Handy team, and becoming the Tri-Valley Conference Champs by go- ing undefeated in league action. The lone loss came at the hands of a fine Doug- las MacArthur team and a tie came against a pre- viously undefeated Gladwin team. VICTORY Back Row; J. Porter, Coaches R.

Their sore, tired feet pound the earth. They know no glory, just satisfaction, and encouragement but only from team-mates. No huge crowds cheer them on. That is done by few parents, and a coach. Admission to see them in action is free. Yet no one pays the price. The last finisher gets the most cheers, from the finishers before him. When the competition is over. They walk back to the locker room, alone No fans to mob them as they leave. Yet they are happy, happy that they did their best. That's what makes them winners. By Tom Oldenburg This is the first year that Hemlock High School has had a girls cross-country team. The girls did an excellent job this year. They are the Tri-Valley Conference Champs, Re- gional Champs and took fourteenth in state competition. Let's hope that this fantastic record is an insight to the future of all cross- country teams.

This was our goal all season, to re- peat as County Champions, said Twonsend. This accom- plishment is something special because we lost so many good wrestlers from last year's program. Coach Townsend had the thrill of recording his 100th coaching victory with a 44-23 win over Birch Run. Wrestling will always be a bright spot in the Huskie's fu- ture.

Although the Varsity team turned in a dissa- pointing appearance this season, they often held their opponents' victories to the final min- utes of the game, providing for some exciting finishes. Thirteen out of twenty-one games were decided in the last three minutes. Return- ing junior Tom Zolinski had an outstanding year with 390 total points and 201 rebounds. Tom was named on the first team's All-Conference, Midland Dally News, and Saginaw Valley News, Those facts lead me to believe that we are building towards a successful Future, con- cluded Coach Piazza. 100 H 0 53 56 Gladwin 56 71 Millington 41 78 Carrollton 56 57 Eisenhower 44 63 Garber 41 44 Swan Valley 58 85 Gladwin 71 83 Bullock Creek 65 50 Birch Run 58 57 Frank enmuth 74 66 Douglas MacArthur 56 65 Millington 57 67 Carrollton 61 64 Eisenhower 70 85 Garber 49 66 Swan Valley 74 70 Bullock Creek 60 76 Douglas MacArthur 57 45 Birch Run 45 79 Frankenmuth 101 SUCCESSFUL J.V.

Summer camp and scrimmages pre- pared the girls for a twenty- game regular season. The girls ended with a win loss record of 9-11 and 7-7 in conference action.

The lack of basketball maturity on the young, mainly freshman team con- tributed to many of their losses, as they could not get any points on the board in the first half and were al- ways playing catch up ball. A three-game winning streak mid-season, pulled the team to .500, but they could never hit that mark again, losing in overtime to Millington, followed by close defeats to Carrollton and Garber. The best games of the season came at home with a 57-45 victory over a highly rated Sanford Meri- dan team, and an exciting 55-47 win before a Parents' Night crowd over Birch Run. VICTORES GO UNSPIKED The Varsity Volleyball team had a season of 5 wins and 12 losses this year. The team had a much better season than past teams. The girls are making strides forward, building a tough team. “The girls worked hard as a team and played well in spite of their record, commented Coach Or- lowski. Linda Palmer, Lori Bur- bank, Cheryl Radosa, and Kim Lolmaugh received Honorable Mentions from the conference for their ex- cellent court actions. The girls wrapped up the season with a loss to Mount Pleas- ant in tough tournament competition. Back Row: Jane Rowe. Collette Wilkowski, Kim Lolmaugh.

This year's tennis team was in one of those circumstances where according to their level of playing they wouldn't win much, but because of their hard work and great attitudes they did quite the contrary. They had a terrific season re- cord of 10 wins to 1 loss. They did this with the help of Coach Kunold. His spirits and determi- nation for a victory pushed the team on. Although they only had three experienced play- ers and a very tough sched- ule, they did very well. It goes to show that hard work does pay off! 113 BASEBALL TEAMS HAVE B.C.

Ml 48626 GREG HEYN ROGER HEYN Hemlock, Ml. 642-8666 155 MEMORIAL During this past year. Hemlock High School lost one of its students. Joel Baase died on May 16,1981, of cancer During his two short years at the high school, he was particularly active in sports He was the ideal teammate, and his ardor was never stifled. Even during the most difficult mo- ments he always had a kind word and a vivacious attitude. He also made us realize just how precious human life really is. His undying spirit was inspirational, and he will not be forgotten. We lost one of our own, and we will truly miss him Because of You we will keep on living without you but that doesn't mean we won't look back at you and remember your courage with love in our eyes we will keep on loving without you but because of you we all know a little more what love means because of you we will keep on dreaming without you but we remember your dreams and remember your smile and both of them make us try a little harder to make something of ourselves for you we will keep on laughing without you but because we are young and because we are strong a tear may fall in between the giggles because you suffered but we will keep on laughing because you taught us that life is too short to overlook the happiness and so we laugh we will keep on without you but you will always be there with us reminding us of reality making us laugh and cry and smile because of you life became a little sweeter love a little clearer and death a little closer because of you we may survive because of you we may succeed written by Sue Scott FINISHED! This year we had the opportunity to spend more time putting the yearbook together. The dedicated staff handled format and section changes with professionalism, bringing the events of the world, com- munity, and Hemlock High into these 158 pages. The book makes an attempt to capture good “times” and hard “times”. We hope all the Times Of Your Life” are exactly the way you want them. r 'v
