VOL. V, NO. 8

"My greatest thrill was the day I received a fumble against Notre Dame. They were deep in our territory, and with second's left, they were in scoring position. I recovered, and when time ran out, we won!" revealed Mr. Richard Machalski, a new English teacher who played defensive end with Northwestern University. Mr. Machalski lettered in his sophomore year, and has played in the Medinah Shrine North‑South game.

Mr. Machalski attended Northwestern University, majoring in English education, and taking a minor in social studies. Last year, he played Corporal Clive Winton in the Northwestern production of See How They Run.

Mr. Machalski keeps himself busy with activities ranging from coaching freshman football and baseball to serving as program‑coordinator for WMTH at Maine West. As he says, "in charge of keeping people in line."

"Seriously, though," says Mr. Machalski, "I enjoy working with Davis Hall and the WMTH staff, and hope to continue to be able to do so in the future."

In his spare time, Mr. Machalski enjoys handball and "sports in general."

How do teachers really feel? "Now, I appreciate what my high school teachers went through," comments Mr. Timothy Little, a welcome addition to the Maine West Social Science Department.

Mr. "T. H." Little, who teaches world and American history, was born and raised in the Chicago metropolitan area. He has received degrees from Grinell College and the University of Illinois. Mr. Little also studied at the University of Chicago. While acclaiming the superior technical facilities of larger institutions such as the University of Illinois, he prefers smaller, private schools where a student is "well integrated into the stream of things."

In high school Mr. Little participated in such activities as band, Key Club, and Thespian Society. His college activities included serving as a residence hall officer several times and a member of the Men's Social Committee.

When Mr. Little isn't found staggering under a load of uncorrected test papers or teaching his classes, he enjoys a wide range of activities. A former trumpet player, he likes to hear good music and see musicals when they are downtown.

Mr. Little's active hobbies include golfing, other sports, and photography. He likes to read well‑written historical novels; his favorite works are the "Guns of August" by Barbara Tuchman and the novels of Sinclair Lewis.

Mr. Little has traveled in almost every state of the country and parts of Canada. He has the strange desire to visit Australia in the future to "see the Aborigines."

Mr. Little smiles wryly when asked to state his pet peeve, "Teachers who tell jokes in class." Then, he laughs a very incriminating, guilty laugh.
