The mudpuddles and wet grass have become a rather bleak memory in ,1lhe school's history. These minor miracles have come to pass because the foot path between Besser Tech and Central Hall has been traded in for a concrete sidewalk. The wind and cold will still be there, bnt unless one can afford a taxi service, or arrange all classes in Central Hall, he might not be happy. JOHN McGILL Among ;tbe new ,instructors this year at ACC is Mr . .John Mc. Gill. Mr. McGill was borll in Monroe, Michigan in 1939. He was gradu- ·ated from Monroe Catholic Cent. ral in 1957.

He has taught Micro Biology at Purdue University. MJ·. McMigill ls n.al'.'fi',ed and has one child. He and his family reside on the Werth road. Mr. McGill says he enjoys all sports, and says his main interests are his family, his students, and and nature . He says, "The youth of today have the tremendous challenge of correcting this wm·ld ·of the so. cial inequaliti!es presented to them by their conservitive fore. fathers." The TIMBER CRUISER staff wishes Mr. McGill good luck at A,.C.C. Bosses Transport A.C.C. Students An innovation at ACC this fall is the college bus which will be available for the transportation of college students to the college.

Fairly familiar to the Alpena area, Mr. MieseJ:1 has taught varL ous classes of English, speech, journalism, and debate for the past five years at Alpena High School. At ACC he instructs both fresh• men and sophomore English class- es. Teaching seems to be ,his only interest, however, he desires "to teach for one year in Europe - preferably Germany." Snow - ski. ing also is enjoyed by both Mr. Miesen and his wife. Mr. Miesen has earned both B.A. and M.A. degrees from Albion and Central Michigan University, re. spectively. Parking Poses A Problem at ACC The parldng problem at A.C.C. is definitely getting worse. With over 700 students now attending, and over half driving, 1t seems quite a task to find a decent park. ing place, and even harder for the pedestrians crossing Johnson street. Because of this, tickets are now being given to those who fail to show their parkUJg permit, or to those who park in restricted areas. These tickets which are issued by a few elite members of the student body are $1.00 apiece, and are payable m the main of- fice. Th'is money goes towards the Student. Activity Fund.
