Rutkofske, Ted Sevigny, Ted Spiess, Lowell Steinbach, Cindy Whitaker, Carole Wright, A1 Time Flies Over Us, But Leaves Its Shadow Behind Port Huron Central, a relatively new school which opened in 1971, is now in its ninth year of operation. The Yearbook staff agreed that it would be interesting to find out how much Central has changed these past nine years. We thought it would be best to interview a couple of teachers who have taught here all nine years. Although many teachers have been here since Central opened, space limits us to two teacher inteviews. Aside from Mr. Spiess and Miss Nolan; Mr. and Mrs. Rutkofske, Mrs. Allen, Mrs. Hyde, Mrs. Hobbs, Mr. Jamison, Mrs. Eastman, Mr. Nesbitt, and Mr. Currie are the ones that have remained since 1971. Mrs. Lyszak, Central’s librarian, has been with the school since 1971 also. In addition, Mr. Pierce, Mr. Goldsworthy and Mr. Dickinson, formerly a department head, have remained the full nine years as administrators. Finally, Mr. Renner and Mr. Elliott, who moved up from a teaching position, have stayed the nine years as department heads. Mr. Dunbar, counselor, is also a nine-year veteran. According to Mr. Spiess, Central has not changed considerably over the past nine years. However, he feels that school spirit has really improved, and the students get along with each other much better now. One change he does remember is that when Central first opened there was no girls’ sports pro- gram. Also, various clubs and organizations were more active then. Miss Nolan remembers quite a few differences. The first year Central opened there was no Senior class! According to Miss Nolan, these are some other changes that Central has undergone: Spirit Week became a tradition, the shop area was built and opened, and the Cubby Hole opened. Also, a second Assistant Principal was hired, a new office area was constructed for the athletic and social studies departments, and the athletic department ac- quired a whirlpool and weight machines for its athletes. After quite a bit of negotiation, the Board of Education finally approved the purchase of new bleachers, curtains for the stage, and a television camera. 22 Central today is still basically the same school with a few facelifts, and several new faces. “Time which changes people does not alter the image we have of them.” (Marcel Proust)
