with hope and determination Many people of the community, including Seniors from Port Huron High School, heard Governor George Romney explain his proposed tax reform at the McMorran Auditorium. As Mr. James Duncan listens, Senior Gary Smith asks Governor Romney a question concerning his tax program. Such experience will help Gary and his fellow classmates when their learning must be practi- cally applied. Friendly foreign exchange students Fernando Orozco of Uruguay, Elisabeth Olin of Finland, Bengt Bengtsson of Sweden, and Walburga Asse of Germany give Linda Lalley a geography lesson when they point out the location of their native countries.

Seniors eye the future Principal Colen J. Sommerville watches proud Seniors as they march in to their last assembly. Joyce Reckker and Diane Burns find the benches along the hall windows, a gift from a former senior class, useful for studying a few moments before homeroom. At Port Huron High School every student has the opportunity to join organizations, cultivate interests, develop leadership qualities and ath- letic abilities, and make new friends. However, the primary purpose of any educational institution is to help its students achieve their goals through intellectual improvement. Students realize that in order to obtain gain- ful employment and a promising fu- ture education they must be serious about their studies. A serious stu- dent will find that high school gradu- ation is only the first of the many rewards he will receive for his labors.

Participation in school activities When students from the northern area of Port Huron leave after a morning school session, afternoon students from the southern area arrive for the homeroom period which begins at 12:35. The student, because of his youth is full of life. He is eager to experience new things, to share his joy with others, and to spend ex- citing moments with his class- mates, He is thrilled by com- petitive games. He is moved by a small child’s actions. He strives to succeed. He is proud of the accomplishments of his contem- poraries. In order to give the student an opportunity to use this energy and enthusiasm construc- tively, the school provides numer- ous outlets. It is certain that behind every school play, club, project, or athletic event there is that vigorous force of the student. Excitement, disappointment, concentration, and good sportsmanship are all part of the game to the student. 12
