WORK BEFORE PLAY The shriek of the whistle blared through the air as a stampede of feet came rushing from the locker room. Doz- ens of bodies clothed in gym gear head for their place in line. This scene is part of the everyday ritual called getting dressed for gym. Various types of gym classes are offered. The large variety gives one a chance to choose an area of sports he or she would enjoy most. A few sports available in the men’s team sports class include baseball, basketball and dodgeball. The girl ' s team sports class offers floor hockey, softball and volleyball. If a person enjoys a one-on-one strat- egy. the individual sports classes have tennis, ping-pong, golf, and shuffle-board available for both men and women. For some people, spending an afternoon in the gym would not make their top ten list of favorite pastimes. If this gym situation sounds familiar try spending a more relaxed and quiet afternoon in the school library. The many books and references available make it the perfect place for studying. If the thought of studying does not make one ' s temperature rise, it is always a good place to grab a few “Z ' s” after a tiring day in the gym. page 25 1 Mark Lashbrook and Laura Lockwood studying quietly in the library. 2.

WE CARE ENOUGH TO DO OUR BEST No two snowflakes are identical; likewise no two people are alike. Each one is born with many different characteris- tics. Whether the differences are in appearance, personal- ity, or mental capability, one common similarity can be found — everyone shares an inner drive to succeed. For many, this goal is easily achieved, but for others it means hard work and determination. The special education pro- gram was designed to encourage these students to set goals for themselves and to develop a positive self-image. The Special Education Department works with four basic groups of students. These groups consist of the hearing impaired, the learning disabled, the emotionally impaired and the educable mentally impaired. The students in these classes need extra attention and encouragement from their teachers. In order to gain this extra attention, the classes are kept small. The students do not feel rushed or pressured and, therefore, can put all their concentration into what they are doing. During the time that the teacher and stu- dents are together, a special bond is formed between them. The student grows comfortable with the situation and is able to perform to the best of his or her ability. No one said it was going to be easy. With all the competi- tion in society, it is hard for anyone to get ahead. For these students, the goal to achieve is even harder to attain. Every- one deserves a chance to try. With the help of the special education program, many students will gain the confidence they need to succeed. They are proud of who they are and strive to be the best they can be. 1.

1 ALL WE WANT TO DO IS ENTERTAIN YOU! On February 2 7, 1986 a gift was donated to the Port Huron Area School District by Harron Communications. CPHS-12, Cable Port Huron Schools, broadcasts twenty- four hours a day, seven days a week, and is available to those who have the new cable systems. Throughout the year, CPHS-12 will provide both local and national educational programs for the Port Huron communi- ty as well as sports and community activities. In the classroom the students from both Port Huron Northern and Port Huron High School learn how to operate a television station, write scripts, commercials, and public service announcements. The students also receive hands on training with the equipment, since they tape a great many of the events and programs. The other part of the broadcasting department is the WORW, 91.9 FM radio station. This station is “playing the biggest, baddest sounds around, like no one else will do. Twenty-three juniors and seniors from Northern and also Port Huron High are striving to simulate a major market station. Under the guidance of Bridget Deegan, program director, Kimm Massman, music director, and Ms. Susan Doherty, general manager, WORW has improved immensely from last year. The station plays the best in popular music from seven in the morning until ten at night. They also have specialty shows covering heavy metal, Christian rock, classi- cal artists, old, and New” music. The station has two goals: to provide on and off air experience for the staff and also to serve the community. 3 1. The women behind the music. Bridget Deegan and Kimm Mass- man. 2.
