The routine of school can become pretty monotonous, but not at P. H. H. S. With two big events like the SPOTLIGHT and the Senior Play topping the list of activities, school life doesn’t get a chance to become dull. With the opening of school comes the football season, which holds excitement for everyone even if the team should happen to have a jinx on it. Adding a note of gaiety to the games are the flashy uniforms of our band, the pride and joy of P. H. H. S. On a more serious side, the Christmas concerts of Miss Hyde’s superb choir give pleasure to the students and all of Port Huron, in their singing of favorite Christmas hymns. With competition at its keenest, the campaign days before class elections speed up the quickening tempo of school life. With the capable Student Council members i n charge, voting is carried on with swiftness and ease. After the results have been printed in a Lighthouse extra, students settle down for a few peaceful days before exams, after which everything starts over again, with all the vim. vigor, and vitality contained in 1,500 students.

Associated with the school for nearly a quarter of a century, she made many friends.

Our band is the pride and joy of P. H. H. S. Their flashy uniforms never fail to add a gay note to the football games and to community parades. Led by the strutting Drum Major. Parren Lehman and two majorettes. Shirley Eveningred and Elaine Tucker, the band executes many drills. Mt. Clemens, our friendly rivals, may have their two attractive majorettes and their handsome major, but they have yet to find anything as novel as our twenty baton twirling majorettes.
