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.

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.
