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 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.

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
