To the Senior Class In September, 1957, six hundred shy and somewhat bewildered tenth graders crossed the threshold of Port Huron High School for the first time. You were those people. You are the first class never to have attended the “old high school.’ ’ You came with mixed feelings. Some of you came to learn. Some of you came to have fun. Some came because your parents wanted you to come. All of you hoped for a high school diploma, even if you expected “Lady Luck” to provide it. Now it is three years later. Your number has been decreased by about one hundred fifty. Congratulations to those who worked to the finish line. Now you are being graduated. You have succeeded in your aims and aspirations. You alone know what you have gained, to what extent you have grown in stature, how much you gave of yourself to receive for yourself. So it will be in life beyond high school. May you ever be happy and successful. Leaders who have guided us MM Florence C. Wiese Assistant Principal To the Class of 1960 Your school years have been the formative period which has helped you lay the foundation for your future career. This train- ing will help you fulfill the future needs of your chosen vocation. You have won the respect, confidence, and admiration of the school in many ways and have every right to be proud of the goal you have achieved. I wish you continued success and prosperity in the years ahead. Colen J. Sommerville Dean of Boys 10
