Polovich, Times H erald The dreams we cherish begin here 9 Our “first” home , And often our Accomplishments become Olympian . Even Daily Routine Spurs New Visions When we Big Beds arrive at school each day, we have the opportunity to take part in many exciting experiences. At least several times each day we are exposed to the thrills and excitement of better understanding ourselves and our environment. Such insights into our lives and the lives of others ntav occur at any moment throughout the day. From the time we walk through the door and head for our lockers to the moment we take a seat in homeroom to begin the day, we have the chance to meet and understand people similar to and different from ourselves. Our grand vision of becoming a “somebody,” the vision of achieving goals and dreams especially comes to life in the classroom. The very classroom where some unfortunate students are bored to tears, the rest of us get our kicks. We learn of the great peoples of the past who are remembered by every ' country around the world and how we, the people of the Tnited States, have surpassed them in almost every way. We learn how science has given us inventions and conveniences which were not even thought of when our parents were young, let alone used daily as we do. Our grand visions are not always begun here in the halls of Big Bed Country, but very often they are nurtured and brought to life here. And very often, these visions become Olympian.

For the upteenth time we were the biggest helpers in the annual March of Dimes Bread Sale. Many of us spent an entire Sunday after- noon going door to door raising money for a good cause. Another big campaign was our effort to help raise money for the weight training machine. The winning class, the juniors, won on a technicality with over 10,000 pennies collected and donated. At Christmas the Big Reds helped the Old Newsboys collect money to help families who might not enjoy Christ- mas. Finally, although the Big Reds took part in other campaigns as well, the Faculty through Mr. Payton got into the Act in the city-wide Jail N Bail charitable campaign.

That Impossible Dream Can Be Possible Is the Impossible Dream really impossible? Not for us Big Reds. Note how our football team won its only game on Homecoming. Khat a thrill for the players, the queen, and the float builders. And to go with that, the seniors won the float com- petition two years in a row. All that hard work put into it and look at the great results. A victory just like the game. And then there’s Pete Maxwell’s great winning streak of 12 straight races. Dreams that were thought to be impossible are really and truly reality. And last but not least, the dream of all dreams. 1 he band’s trip to the Olympics the summer of 1972. What a time it was, from the moment we started the trip until the time we landed. And now these are all great memories, and not just dreams. 7 do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore , and directing myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble on a prettier shell than ordinary . While the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. Newton A-C-T-I-O-N, Action Big Reds, Action. A common cheer we all know well, and will always remember. The school spirit is so great that all we see is action. Group work to get money for a new weight training machine, remember the pennies, and who came out on top — the juniors. There was the time last year when it was announced that the Big Reds Marching Machine was to go to Germany to compete with other bands in a world competition. We knew then that we had the greatest band in Michigan, perhaps the entire world. And talk about proud. Then came the time to become serious and settle down with books. There’s so much to learn and even if our teachers feel we’re doing great, we know we have a lifetime to obtain only a part of this knowledge. 8 STUDENT LIFE CLOCKWISE: TOP— A rock group entertains the entire school at an early morning assembly designed to get the adrenalin flowing.

If by no other means, going to the restroom or getting a remedy for illness. We have a few who might be considered as “lounge scrounges.” They are the people who get sick very often, need a schedule change quite frequently, or just plain have problems. A few of these are Brian Williams, Joe Redfield, and Sheryl Bennert, all of whom have seemingly permanent “lounge passes. Another way to break the monotony is to get a pass to the lavatory. Here’s your chance to walk the halls, meet your best buddy, or even flirt with someone in another class by peeking in on them. This always makes everyone look. Sometimes it’s as if Frankenstein was doing a tap dance the way everyone looks. But there aren’t many who break the routine regularly. The administration has ways of discouraging routine break- ers. 11 Football, Cycling Lure Fall Activists It’s great to be outdoors during the fall. A wonderful feeling is doing something creative and worthwhile and at the same time keeping in shape. A good way to enjoy fall activity is to go hunting, a very popular sport among some young men. Another way to enjoy fall is to hop on your bike with a friend and take a fresh wonderful ride in the country. Then there is always football. The guys like this game. It shows how rough and tough they are, even if they do go home with a bruised arm or leg or even a big black eye. Ask Jack McPhail he knows; he even broke his nose. For other Big Reds, fall is a time for camping, boating, hiking, and other such outdoors activities. 12 BOTTOM-Kathy and Patti Willey enjoy their leisure moments by taking a ride on a tandem bike .

ABOVE— Being outdoors tvas fun for almost everyone in Rig Red country. Picture here is just another of the many fall activities that lured student involvement . 13 Fall, Winter Affect Moods, Activities “What can we do on a long, fall or winter Day?” This is a question Big Reds answer all the time. Plenty! Ping Pong. This is a fun indoor sport which many of us have fun with because it doesn t re- quire a lot of skill. Just keep your eye on the ball and the paddle in your hand and you’ve got it made. Bowling. This is another fun sport to help overcome the winter blahs. A favorite spot is Blue Water Lanes. The big problem with this sport is to keep the ball out of those two little ditches that run along side the alley. Even the teachers like this sport, many of whom bowl regularly. Indoor activities during winter take on other faces as well as sport. Take shopping for ex- ample. The girls go for this the most. It’s a chance to be with friends and also dream a little. After shopping, or even without the shopping, another fun-thing is to stop at a friendly restaur- ant for a snack with friends. r 14 We Searched Hard for Identity in ’72 LEFT— Ronald McDonald meets P.H.’s own Ronald MacDonald .

Along with her court it was quite a sight to see. The floats paraded around the field and everyone waited breathlessly to see which class would win. The Senior float. Boner’s Ark, won first place, the Sophomore float. Pink Pan- ther second, the Junior float, % BC third place, and the Fresh- man float Haggedv Ann and Andy fourth.

They said, “How can one band from a little town like Port Huron raise $130,000? Even if it is for the Olympics?” But as you know, the band proved people wrong. The Marching Machine played everywhere trying to raise the money so desparately needed. Although some kids were ready to give up, Mr. Payton kept the morale up. But soon the day came when the money was counted and all the work and effort was worthwhile. In addition to the money raised by the band, a contribution of $50,000 from two Detroit foundations help put the band over the top. Over 200 band members helped raise the money to make the memorable trip to Munich and the Olympics. It seemed like the band did just about everything to raise money. They played and performed in parades, at dinners, and in concert. They washed cars, sold candy, sponsored a teeter-totter marathon, and worked at various area businesses in return for financial assistance. The kids at school became so ac- customed to the band’s fund raising drives that they soon wondered what the band would be doing next. 22 All photos in this section courtesy of Loft Studios 23 We were numb, we chattered and whispered quietly hut we still couldn ' t believe it Q Do you really know how it feels to be on an airplane? For some of the Bands- men, it was a first-time thi ng. Getting a passport and then vaccination shots— ouch! And imagine getting your suit cases ready only to have the customs open them up just after everything was packed so nice and neat. Arriving at Metro Airport in De- troit was an experience for kids who have never been there before. The TV cameras were on the band students as they walked up the ladder to greet a different side of the world on a new and strange continent. The plane trip was long but no one was bored because we were so excited to see something new and different. Only a few bags were used behind the airplane seats. No one got so sick they couldn’t enjoy the excitement. We had arrived in Amsterdam and were ready to greet our bus drivers and couriers. We didn’t speak the same language, but we communicated CXX3 We were Americans in Germany! You should know that no one can rest when they are visiting a strange place. Excited and curious, we went looking around to see the town. Town is quite different from ours, especially the street signs (and you think our drivers are crazy?). Our bus drivers were dependable and confident and our couriers knew what they were talking about. Then there was the 12 hour ride from Amsterdam to Berlin. Most of the kids slept. Berlin is very beautiful and modern. So is Frankfurt. All of the kids that went along as well as the adults had fun. The band did many things, but mostly saw the sights and marched in parades. But there are many experiences that will never be forgotten. For we were thousands of miles from home. 26 wm We were frozen with fright, but when the whistle sounded, the Machine moved C OO Iense and feeling nervous, everyone was ready for competition day. The day when w e would know just how good we really were. No makeup was to be worn by the girls, all hair was tucked under hats, We were issued new gloves and spats for this day which were never used before. When we got to the stadium grounds, we got a chance to see just what the bands looked like we were competing against. Inspection came. I he judges checked us over care- fully. Our hands wrapped tense l against our cleaned instrument, fter inspection, we waited for our turn to perform. We didn ' t have to wait long for our turn. Then wc marched onto the field. Our rows looked three times as long as anv other band. The whistle sounded, we plaved and marched and gave all of our strength until there was nothing left to give. Then as quickly as it started, it was all over. All that work and summer practice for just 10 short minutes. 29 We were tired from the grueling routine, but we were Big Reds V ) It was more than a tour; we had set an example Qppp In a time of war and killing, the band showed that Love has no language barrier or time or season. If you can’t speak it, show it. The Big Ked Marching Machine went to Germany not just for the competition and tour, but for something else, too. This was a chance to make new friends and to pro- mote peace and love through this troubled world. To laugh, sing, and be happy. To really understand your old friends. The Band had made it to Germany. They had set an example— a good one for Americans. Even though the Band did not win, they had a special feeling because they didn’t lose either. They gave the winning bands standing ovations, which they deserved, and no one in our band was a 4 4 poor sport.” Quite a few of the kids didn’t want to go home, but it was inevitable, where we came from, there we would return. I he suc- cess of the Band proves that dreams do come tr ue, it just takes longer for some. Sharon Anderson 33 English civilization — the humanizing , the bringing into one harmonious and truly humane life, of the whole body of English society — that is what in- terests me. — Arnold Happiness is watching an experiment, hoping that nothing will blow-up! and finding out that it didn’t. How often have you had the feeling that something was just going to go wrong? Sometimes things do go wrong, both at school and elsewhere, but that’s how we learn to cope with life. That’s how we learn to take our rightful place. Our hopes and dreams of learning in school throughout the year are what get us over the tedium and often monotony of schoolwork. Hut nevertheless, we know it has to be done, and we do our best, knowing that at some future time the real benefits will be seen. Just like an experiment, our dreams often blow-up in our faces; but we go on, knowing that how we face the problem is just as important as being successful. Some courses don’t seem to be very interesting to some of us, but for those who want an education, every course has its place in our lives. 34 CURRICULUM Co-op Office Putsl78 Students in Jobs 1972-73 has been a banner year for the Port Huron High School Co-op Program. The number of students employed is an all time high 178 and the job market has been expanded to in- clude many more positions. The increased num- ber speaks well for the excellent quality of work students perform and the desire of employers to train and employ young people. The Voca- tional Cooperative Kducation Program allows students to gain valuable work experience while working with people and earning money. Kxperience enables a student to be a better employee and makes his academic subjects more relevant. Cooperative Kducation is the application of the theory and skills learned in related classes. The three major areas of the Co-op Program are distributive education, of- fice education, and trade-and-industry. Areas of specialized training include cosmetology, nurses aide, and home economics.

English Dept. 38 Adds Mini-Courses to Elective Program It’s new! It’s great! We have another way to approach English that’s a challenging means of studying modern com- munication and literature. Instead of the same courses that have been offered over the past years, such as sophomore English, Senior Composition, and Creative Writing, we now have “mini-courses.” I hese arc ten week courses which offer a chance to dig deep into a subject that is especially enjoyable. The first group of mini-courses included Heading and Writing Poetry, both taught by Mrs. Misenar; Photo- journalism and Beginning Journalism, taught by Mr. Jechura; and Independent Reading and Writing Short Stories, taught by Mrs. Chid ester. Although only six mini-courses were offered this year, many more are being planned for next year. Another innovation this year was the ten week reading unit which all freshmen studied. During one of his four quarters in English 1 and 2, every freshman studied reading skills with the expectation of improving reading compre- hension and speed: an Evelyn Wood course all in itself. In the regular English program, we studied the great works of the world’s great authors; Twain, Steinbeck, Hesse, Keats, and Thoreau. We found such courses as Bible as Literature, the old standby Senior Composition, and Speech as good as the new courses. 39 Mrs. Deborah Mosher English 3, Comm 1 Mrs. Mary Glenn Sanderson English 3, American Lit Miss Dianne Thompson English 3CP, Speech l Miss Johnnie Terry English 1, Comm 3 TOP LEFT—Trell Elliott listens to feedback from the class after giving a speech, TOP RIGHT— Alonza Thomas jives on the keys while finishing a lesson.

More than any one else, the students and teachers in this class need patience and cooperativeness. They must be willing to go that “extra mile” almost all of the time. Unlike regular classes, games and relaxation are an important part of the regular class schedule. The kids in this class make various items, such as rugs and plaques, to help purchase additional supplies and equipment. Among other things, the class has a pool table, typewriters, saws and othc r build ing materials to help make the class practical. 1 Mrs. Carolyn Smith Acting Chairman, Fine Arts Dept. Mr. James Crumhack Choir Mr. Eric Peyton Honors, Varsity, Cadet Band Mr. Milton Ploghoft Crafts, Drawing, Painting Mrs. Margaret Reid Crafts, Graphics, Textiles 42 Music, Creativity Highlight Fine Arts Lithographs, decoupage, paper mache, macrame, silk screens, and kilns may sound like far out words but really they are not. They are heard in the rooms just across from the office, the art rooms. I hey is where students get the chance to work creatively with many different types of materials. Such products as pottery, animals objects and all sorts of other items fashioned by creative Big Reds for personal satisfaction, display, or sale. At the west end of the building, Mr. Peyton and Mr. Crumback also work with the creative talents of P.H.H.S., getting our school in beautiful pitch! As a result of the tireless efforts of these musicmen, a chorus of groups emerge to give sound to the tune of the Big Reds. Such groups as the Honor’s Band, the Stage Band, the Choir, the Acca Pella Choir, the Marching Band, Pep band and various ensembles have become important elements of the school s traditions. Giving depth as well as distance to the Fine Arts program is the arts and crafts program located near the shop area. Mrs. Ried works with students there to produce creative metal, wood, and paper creations. Of all the subject areas in the school program, the fine arts courses offer more self direction than most others.

Girls on the job; boys in the kitchen. Some- how all of this seems turned around, but that’s the way it is. And the proof can be found any day in room 327 where Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Brows ki teach the foods classes. And not only do the boys learn to cook and bake, but they learn to iron and sew in the clothing classes. Does any- one really mind? Not the boys. Just study the pictures on these pages. Another highlight of the home economices department is the child development classes. In addition to the traditional textbook and discus- sion methods of learning, these classes bring in real live (and they are lively) children between 4 and 6 years of age. The idea is to observe them as they play and react with others their own age. Oh! If only 1 were young again. TOP LEFT— Joe Cumerlato and Bruce Stover can l wait to finish cooking their dinners .

For a logical and well thought out answer, check with the Math Department. Or perhaps the Busi- ness Department. We figure that you can’t go wrong there. Kver since we knew what our fingers and toes were for, counting of course, we’ve been studying math. And why not. How can we do without it? Try going to homeroom without someone trying to sell something. And there you are without change. Or buy your lunch in the cafeteria. If nothing else, math helps to guard against holes in the wallet. But have you noticed how math and business have changed. It used to be called arithmetic. But now it’s mathematics. And calculus, and geometry, and probability, and statistics, and all of those other mind boggling topics. Who needs them? We do. Io get a job, to go to S.C.C.C.C., to go away to school, to graduate, that’s why we need math. Who would ever imagine that a four- letter word could be so important in life. Business is a little more practical at times, a little closer to our everyday needs. Courses such as typing and shorthand can lead to immediate jobs through the co-op program for many seniors. In addition, typing seems to be a big help grade-wise for those of us who type our class assignments. Business machines is a course in which we learn to operate the kinds of machines that businesses use, if they aren’t obsolete before we graduate. For those of us who take advantage of the opportunities that math and business courses offer, these programs are indispensable.

Girls can do the job just as well as the guys can, at least they try to prove they can, with adequate instruction. Mr. Bonito thinks it’s quite unusual for the number of girls that enrolled in shop classes this year. The Women’s Liberation movement is moving up fast! Mr. Bachelor and Mr. Bonito work together in teaching wood shop while Mr. Belt and Mr. Hunter take care of metals shop. Mr. Whitaker is in charge of electronics, Mr. Berger, machine shop, and Mr. Hobbs, power mechanics. These teachers are the direct link between high school and the employment market for many Big Reds. With adequate skill development, many shop grad- uates have stepped right into jobs after graduation. In addition to the skills that are acquired in shop classes, the students create their own projects out of various materials, including wood and metal.

At all hours of the day kids are screaming “Go! Go!” Did you wonder where they are trying to go? And there’s always some kind of cheer- ing echoing through the halls. The freshmen get the best of it, climbing the rope, working the parallel bars, doing calesthenenics, and many other fun-type activities. No wonder Mrs. Diddle and Mrs. Van Wormer keep 3o slim and trim all the time. And then there’s the Iron Curtain. Who is behind it? Well, the boys, of course. ou can hear them screaming out the numbers to the push ups and jumping jacks while Mr. Warden or Mr. W illick supervise. This year was the year of the weight training machine. Contributed to the School by the Doosters Club, it took the burden off the students, so they thought, and enter- tained us while we exercised. These are only a fete of the activities of the gym classes. I he main p urpose is to ' develop physical growth and health. These activities in m elude table tennis , games , basketball , and exercises • 51 ‘Eyes of Science’ See Everything Have you ever thought of all of the gadgets and conveniences which vve take for granted in our daily lives? The stove that cooks and bakes our food or the alarm clock which wakes us whether or not we are ready to face life again? It’s quite obvious that life would be almost entirely different without these and other inventions which have come about through advances in science since most of us were born, or not too long previous. Change is one of the biggest topics of study in the science department. The latest advances are studied in physics, chemistry, and biology. Field trips help to further an understanding of just how fast and in what direction science is taking modern man. Right here in the halls of Big Red country experi- ments are set up which are sometimes shocking, some- times bewildering. But in all instances, enlightening. From a better understanding of the sealife found in the lake behind the athletic fields to a glimpse of the stars and planets in outer space, the science program is constantly enlarging the limits of the future scien- tists here at PHHS. 52 TOP LEFT-Jack Visger and Mark Wingate find that they have no bot- tom in their pail and that their captives escaped back into Rig Red lake.

This fact becomes most apparent when Miss La oy is recognized as the only female member of the social studies staff. But this fact has not deterred this department from making available to the school one of the most exciting pro- grams available. Civics, History, and Problems of Democracy, three of the areas of study vital to the education of any modern American, are the mainstays of the depart- ment. Such topics as philosophy, world religions, and sociology also are important segments of almost every course. Not only does the social studies department deal with events and people from distant times and places, but it also gets involved in current day philosophical and moral questions which are challenging modem day man. At the core of the social studies program is the desire to help make students rational, intelligent and up-to-date on the issues confronting them today.

It has a more relaxed feeling than most classrooms and gives students a chance to engage in activities that are not com- monly available in the routine of a regular course. The library has two parts: the fiction and non-fiction sides. Perhaps the favorite among students is the fiction side because classes which visit this side of the library do so to allow stu dents to select reading materials primarily for enjoyment, rather than for classwork or daily assign- ments. The main library room, where the non-fiction books are housed, attracts the most students because this is where most classes come to do their research and look for information. Students interested in learning more about the library than can be learned by just visiting can volunteer to be library assistants during study hall periods. Jane L. Perukel Library, A. V. Mary M.

Here at Port Huron High School three languages are offered. The French teacher, Mr. Hodge, offers a variety of experiences in the five levels of brench that are available. In Spanish, Mr. Briones has his classes bring in items native to Spain as well as Spanish speaking people living in the United States. Miss Zuehlke has her German classes put on skits on a regular basis in German. She also has students dress up to illustrate animals as well as objects and real life situations.

It is probably called by this name because it is commonly loaded with students. We come here for a variety of reasons. Those of us who are sick come to sit, relax or to call home for a ride. Others of us come here in urgent need of help. Some- times we need advice from our counselors about courses we would like to take, or the courses we are taking. Others of us come here because there is less to do than in class. Still others come to see Mr. Harwood or Mr. Smith. And we all know what that means. Trouble with a capital I. Hut it s the counselors who dominate the student commons. They are the ones who take an interest in us and our problems. And for most of us, we like being here. 58 TOP CENTER- ' Now what have you done ?” Mr . Frost seems to be asking. TOP RIGHT-Not all of Mr. Wcndling’s counseling occurs in his office.

These four men hold the policy-making and decision-making authority for the entire school. In addition, these men are the center of activity in the office every day as students bring their problems, such as absences and tardinesses, to the front office. The administration is the representative of the Board of Education of Port Huron. The Board determines the policies that govern the schools throughout the school district. The administrators then apply the district-wide policies of the Board to the rest of us here in Big Red Country. ADJACENT LEFT— Superintendent of Schools Robert W. Coulter. BOARD OF ED VC A TION-A.

Perhaps, but more likely the real answer is the custodial and secretarial staff. Mr. Dortman, who heads up the custodians, works the day shift and sees to it that the halls are kept clean and in order. He’s the man to see when a lock won’t open or a bulb burns out. I he custodians also work after school, under night supervisor Mr. Branch, cleaning the chalkboards, rooms, desks, and halls. The secretarial staff com- plements the administration of the building. I he secretaries work with the assistant principals and counselors. They also work with students, provid- ing help in the areas of records, appointments, and personal assistance. The third segment of the school’s staff is the kitchen staff. They provide a hot lunch every day. Although not everyone can be pleased everyday, the fresh breads and cakes and cookies are a bright spot in the school day. CUSTODIANS: Front-Sir.

John Bennington Split-second decisions. Sometimes they are marked as a victory. At other times they cause us to be crushed. The scores get higher, the clock ticks down. The fourth quarter is coming to an end, fans jumping and cheering with enthused excitement behind the players all the way. But they can’t help. The decision can be hard and heartbreaking. But no matter what happens, the decisions must have been right because they were made by our team. VICTORY or DEFEAT 64 SPORTS Gridders Gain Experience Under New Although the Big Reds varsity football team won only one game of nine, they showed enough progress under new head coach Arthur UlIick to make most followers say, “ftait ’till next year.” Mike Grav, a junior, was second in the offensive ground statistics to senior Mark Limberg with 214 gained in 47 rushes as compared with Limberg s 242 yards in 55 rushes. Junior Dennis Thomas, the regular quarterback most of the season, led the team in both offensive rushes w ith 57 for 95 yards and passing with 366 yards gained on 23 completions in 72 attempts. Pushing Thomas for the starting quarterback job next year will be sophomore Len Lindquist who had 25 rushes and 16 pass attempts (he completed three for 49 yards). Leo Jones, another junior, topped the Big Red receivers with 13 pass catches for a whopping 365 yards and three touchdowns. Only Limberg had as many TD’s, with Gray accounting for the other Reds’ scoring with two I D s and two extra points. The future for the footballers looks as bright defensively. The top defenseman was Jack McPhail with 86 tackles. Seniors Limberg and John Thomas were next with 73 and 66, respectively. Senior Rob Beach followed with 43 while junior Kd Beavers had 38. 66 Head Coach Willick BELOW— Dennis Thomas pitches another long bomb to a Big Red receiver .

Jeff Easton paced the golfers with a 42.6 stroke average for 10 matches. His best efforts were 39’s in the matches against Mt. Clemens and Romeo. Easton was the only Big Red to score below 40 this season. He re- corded an 86 in the EMC tourney and 91 in the Regional. Overall, it was a good year for the linksmen. Even though they only won half of their matches, they fin- ished second in the league and 12th out of 24 schools in the regional. With the exception of the Northern and Utica matches near the end of the season, the Golfers gradually lowered their team score from the opening loss to Northern with 241 to their closing win over Mt. Clem- ens with 217. Although a 1-11 record looks disastrous, the Cross Country team was in a rebuilding season and hopes to field a much improved team in 1973. Despite a poor season record the Harriers placed 5th in the EML and 13th at the regional. Of the seven letter winners only senior Jody Dill er will be lost to the team. The sensational Pete Maxwell, who took first place in all twelve league meets, also took first place in the EML and 2nd place in the Regional. At the State tourn- ament Maxwell placed 28th. As expected. Maxwell took the Cross Country Trophy for 1972 while Greg Burrell, a freshman, was named the most improved runner.

After finishing with a 9-10 regular season rec- ord, the Big Reds faced a tough Northern team in the first game of the district. PH had managed only one win in three previous games. But this time it was PH with a win in the closing seconds. Two-time all- EMI, center Ken Johnson rattled the hoops for 26 points and nabbed 23 rebounds to spark a 70-69 win. Next came Fraser. The team continued to play better together and proved it in a 68-57 victory. After building an eight point lead early in the third quarter, Johnson, Rob Wydrzynski, and Dave Nich- ols all went to the bench to cool off with four fouls. Two JV’s, one substitute and two regulars held the lead for over seven minutes until the regulars came back in with five minutes to play. Johnson paced the team in scoring a second straight year with 284 points and 53 percent for a 14.9 average. Rob Wydrzynski was next with 244 points and 32 percent for a 12.8 average. Mike Gray hit for 221 points and a 11.5 average while Leo Jones had 185 points and a 9.7 average.

With three coaches in the past three years our present coach Phil Luhman is doing a fine job. He’ll have excel- lent talent to work with in future years and should come through with winning teams. Only three Var- sity wrestlers will be graduating this year. A noticeable change in this year’s team is a new wrestling stance which Mr. Luhman has brought in. This runs in line with the fact that those who get the takedown usually win the match. Look for names like Hay Reiter, Bob Corwin, Dwight Frazer, Steve Radatz, Dave Glombowski and Bob Pozdrowski in the building of a winner next year. 81 FRONT— Pat Keeler, Ray Rieter, Dave Glombowski, (Captain) Mark Seppo, Phil Wilkins, Mike Camp- bell ami, Hal Gerhobl.

The team had excellent performances this year. Because of a lack of depth, the trackmen had to take a great number of firsts in each meet in order to win. This is what happened in most meets. How- ever, in several instances the lack of depth could not be overcome, even though the team took their usual crop of top finishes. The team effort paid off in the league meet where the Big Reds beat Ml Clemens for the title by a point and one-half. Although the team wasn’t as strong as the pre- vious Big Red championship teams, our winning tradition carried through.

They create many projects as well as products. They made candles this year and sold them for reasonable prices. They were bought for Christmas presents which helped out a lot when you didn’t know- what to get a special person. The Art club paints, draws-, builds, constructs, but most important creates. The Photo club learns how to take good negatives and how to enlarge and develop prints. Anyone can take good pictures, but first you have to learn how. In charge of the Photo club is Mrs. Margaret Reid and Mr. Dennis McDonald. The Audio Visual department is made up of 10-12 hard- working young men. A lot of responsibility is put upon their shoulders. They are in charge of lending out equipment, such as movie projectors, screens, film strip projectors, and record players. Their job is to see that each class signed up gets the equipment. Also, they have to return it to the A.Y. room in last 5 minutes of class. 96 TOP —Little Jenny Sawdon looks in wide-eyed wonder at art club members and their projects.

Every third hour the strains of music can be heard pouring out of room 415. In addition to class? sing- ing, the choir presents a Christmas and a spring concert. The only qualification for members is that interested students must be able to carry a tune. The main objective of the Acapella Choir is to provide the Big Reds with a performing group for special occasions. A second special interest group is the Math Club. Sponsored by Mr. Hart and Mr. Smith, the club tried to help students who need help with their math classes. In addition to regular meetings at which members help each other with their math problems, the club also sponsors a fun-initiation at the end of the year. The president is Peggy Warsinski; vice president, Paul ertigan, sec- treasurer, Deb MacAlpine; and historian, Cheryl McAuley. MacDonald, Richardson Head S.C. In a short term such as ours, it’s difficult to elaborate on the accomplishment of student council. We have gone through the steps of Homecoming, we have had many suggestions and ideas on student unity and social events, and we have tried to bring student government up to a respectable standard. We want the student body to feel strong about the council. The National Honor Society is a group of chosen students who propel the following: Leadership — to teach others to become leaders; Character — an image put on themselves and our school; Service — to help where they are needed; and Scholarship — by keeping their grades up.

Its main objective is to help find mean- ing in life. It sponsors such activities as Scream in the Dark. The Afro Club meets regularly every week or every few weeks. It is sponsored by Mrs. Lane. It tries to foster a better understanding between students. The Future Nurses Club is sponsored by Mrs. Wessel. The club is composed of candy stripers who work at least one night a week at Port Huron Hospital. The Rocket Club is another club sponsored by Mr. Ask. It experiments with and builds rockets. In the spring, mem- bers launch the rockets they’ve built.

In addi- tion to cheerleading at the games , the cheerleaders planned assemblies , took part in the homecoming parade , painted signs , and planned the Fall Sports Ban quet. Cheerleaders Work 104 Hard To Push Athletics, School Spirit School Spirit. That’s the message the cheerleaders try to convey every time they are on the football field or on the gym floor during basketball games and pep assemblies. They always succeed in getting their message across. ou can see this every time there is a game or a pep assembly; the stands and bleachers are packed and everyone backs up the team. The girls aren’t picked out at random; they have to work hard to become a varsity cheerleader. First they must be a junior vars ity cheerleader for at least a year. Then they must try out for varsity cheerlead- ing. But don’t think the hard work is over, because after they do make it, they have to make sure they stay good. They do this by practicing two nights a week from three to five and they go to camp every summer except last summer. The squad is made up of eight girls: four sopho- mores— Lori Lapp, Cathy Galat, Diane Patrick, and Denise Stanley; two juniors— Kim Sassanella and Mary Jo Carmody; two seniors— Janet Seely, who was Captain of football and Cyndi Stanley, who was Captain of basketball. In addition totheir regular chores, the cheerleaders also sponsored projects to raise money for supplies and extras such as pom-poms. One big project was the fall sports banquet, which the cheerleaders or- ganized and supported. 105 ROCKET CLUB— Mr. Ask, Randy Gilbert, Dan Shonka, and Hal Gerhold. RIGHT— One of the experiences for a new ski club member is that of having a spill coming down the slope . But even with its disadvantages , skiing attracts over 100 students here in Big Red country , even in weather like that shown in the photograph . TOP RIGHT— A few members of the varsity club meet to make plans for one of their activities . ' Wlllllillrtiittmm, ittiiifiiH Outdoor Activities Lure Rocket, Varsity, Ski Club Three clubs which move outdoors for almost all of their activities are the Rocket Club, the Varsity Club and the Ski Club. The Rocket Club is active mostly in the spring building and launch- ing rockets. Mr. Ask provides the club with any help to promote an under- standing of rocketry. The Varsity Club consists of those athletes who win letters and are invited to be members. Although the Big Reds began to accept girls on certain athletic teams (tennis) beginning in the spring of 1972, there are as yet no girls in the Varsity Club. The Ski Club is probably the largest club in the school. It offers instruction and actual outings to ski slopes in the area.

Neophyte Journalists Edit Publications The three publications which served Big Red country this year were the Lighthouse, Open Doors, and The Student. Since 1923 the Lighthouse has provided the students with a source of information and interest through the writing of the Journalism class. A charter member of the International Quill and Scroll, the Lighthouse is the of- ficial student newspaper, financed through advertising income and the sale of the paper. The journalism class this year consists of nine selected seniors. A literary magazine is very different from other pub- lications found in a high school. PH’s “Open Doors” has acted as an outlet for student expression for the past three years. Here students in the entire school district may reveal their innermost thoughts and emo- tions while discovering those of their classmates. The creations that are accepted in the magazine come from grades kindergarten through 12 with no censorship re- stricting potential writers. The Student provides an official record of the events and people that make up the school year. Staff members share equally in the procurement of necessary funds and the work involved in planning pages and pictures, writing copy, taking pictures and finishing pages.

The Girls Athletic Association is a member of the EML league. Girls who belong to GAA may attend the biweekly meetings and participate in such activities as volleyball, badminton, trampoline, gymnastics, table tennis, track and field, softball, as well as others. In addition, Mrs. Biddle, GAA sponsor, has added special evenings such as Mom’s Night, Dad’s Night, Little Kids Night, Co-ed Night, and the Christmas Party. 110 Red Machine Has 6 Bands, 6 Other Groups Under the direction of Mr. Payton, there are six great bands in Big Red Country. Honors Band and Royal Reds are the top groups. They are well organized and efficient. They consist of the best talent that PH has to offer. Next comes Varsity Band. It develops the students who move into the Honors Band. The fourth group is the Stage Band. It consists of about 21 members, including trumpets, trombones, saxes, and a rhythm section. In addition, the Machine also has two Pep Bands and fifth and sixth hour Cadet Bands. The Cadet Bands are composed of students who are somewhat new to music and are just beginning to work their way up to Honors Band. The Pep Bands are called “Alexlander’s Ragtime Band” with John Lander as headmaster and “The Bud Club” headed by Alan Carins. The Marching Machine, in addition to the various bands, has other affiliated groups. The Thunder- birds are a dance and drill team which has achieved widespread fame under Mr. I fford. The Display Flags consist of 12 girls who do routines with their flags. Color Guard has five girls who carry the American flag, Michigan’s state flag, and the PH flag. The sign bearers are cheerleaders who carry signs which read Port Huron on one side and Big Reds on the other. The Rifle Team is the newest group and they do routines with large wooden rifles. And finally come the Majorettes. These girls per- form at games and atotherperformances wi th the band. 112 It seems as though the band is present wherever PH is represented , whether it s a game , a dance , or a parade. It takes countless hours of practice to be part of the Marching Machine. The band is the pride of PH. THUNDER BIRDS- BACK ROW: Mr. Ufford, Captain C. Winfield, N. Sasu, L. Muir, J. Rautheaux, L.

Requests from groups wanting the Machine to play Christmas carols were honored, especially those people unable to be where they wanted to be during the holidays. The band, divided into two groups for this project, travelled to such places as Marwood Manor, Mary dale Center, and River District Hospital. The band played such songs as “Silver Bells” and “Jingle Bell Rock.” Although the band was usually limited to the songs in their songbook, they soon learned to “ad lib” certain songs on a given night. At Kimball Intermediate School, the band, with Mr. Payton in his nightcap, nightshirt, and holding a Christmas candle, presented Mr. Chubb a plaque for Kimball’s part in the band’s special at the last football game entitled, “Junior Joins the Band.” After each night of playing and caroling during this project, the band would return to the band room to enjoy hot chocolate and doughnuts.

From the moment a child is born until he dies he is exposed to the wonderful sound which cannot be described by words alone. It takes a lot to make a band; to want to work and see just what can be accomplished in such a short time. You can see the desire in the eyes of the members to play and enjoy music when a good piece is brought out. Our band has received many honors. They have come not only for music but for many other reasons. The Marching Machine sacrifices long nights to make every performance a good night to be enjoyed by everyone. Many days are spent to put the music in order and to get everything arranged. A special event for the band, in addition to the many assem- blies and football game performances, is the spring concert. With the boys in , th eir tuxedos and the girls in their formats, the spring concert is quite a change from the regular fare. But, even so, by the end of the performance, as usual, the band director is already thinking of the next performance. 117 Coming to school is nothing ; bringing an open mind and working hard to learn is everything. The responsibilities , knowledge and understanding needed and used in our lives lets us grow to maturity. Many changes will take place from the lime we are freshmen until we become seniors. We meet new teachers along with friends every year. Every new book is a bigger challenge with better understanding in knowledge. We explore the discoveries of people before our time , taking in all our minds can possibly contain. Our future is based mainly on our past. How hard we try or how much we learn will be of so much help in times to come. We are and will be what we make of ourselves. 118 UNDERCLASS 119 Freshmen Achieve Much in First Year The first time we stepped onto the mighty land of Big Red Country we were wondering to ourselves, 4 ‘W hat will the upper- classmen expect of my fellow classmates and myself? 1 shall stand up high, walk straight and tall.” We got right into Big Red spirit by constructing our first float, Raggady Ann and Andy w-hich took fourth place in a good try for the top. During the penny drive we raised $50.69 which took us a step higher in the eyes of the upperclassmen. Leading us to our goals were our offi- cers— Linda Wakeen, Cindy Mac- Alpine, Kathy McKelvey, Clark Anter and Dan Strobbe. Even though we are freshmen we are happy to look forward to the day we can be as great and proud as the Class of 1973.

U was all part of the pride that the class felt toward the school. Through long hours of hard work, the sophomores took second place in the homecoming float competition. It was working together for perhaps the first time that gave more confidence and determination to everyone in- volved. The float, “The Pink Pan- ther,” marked the beginning of the classes’ involvement in school activities. The sophomores began to take their place on the various athletic teams and in many different activi- ties. In the class contest to help raise money for the weight training machine, the sophomores came up with 151 dollars or third among the classes.

After a slow start in school ac- tivities and a mere third place in the float competition at homecoming, the juniors have been making steadv progress ever since. fter the float memories were forgotten, the juniors sponsored a highly successful candy sale just before Christmas vacation to become the top cavity-producing class in the school. (They quickly scheduled ano- ther candy sale for just before Val- entine’s Day.) To many of the juniors, the real disappointment is the fact that the juniors have not yet won the “Pep Jug.” This goal, and the raising of funds, are the chief goals for the remainder of the vear. Class officers are President Randy Welch , V.P. Kim Sassanella, Sec . Cheryl Flynn , and Treasurer Chuck ] owctt.

Taking life and its problems into our hands can make the responsibilities larger and harder to solve. Fach and every one of us shall try to go in the direction that is right. We must not be frightened; the fears of today’s environment will not hold us back from today’s realities. We must learn to fight the things that are wrong and challenge the things that are right. Being a senior we know that we are one step away from life’s triumphs and letdowns. As a class we know that we can make it, but as individuals, all we can do is try our hardest, and never let ourselves down. 154 SENIORS 4 Class of 1973 Accepts Responsibilities Jerry Adams Chris Albert Becky Alexander Barbara Beattie Brian Beauchamp Greg Beauchemin Judy Beeler LuAnn Beeler Kathy Belyea 156 With Pride, Anticipation The seniors are here, at graduation, finally. We stepped into our responsibilities with pride, joy, and anticipation. Throughout the year we par- ticipated in many events. We helped do our share in helping people by taking part in the W ' alk-a-thon, Bike-a-thon, and Bread Sale. The penny collec- tion held among the classes to raise money for the weight train- ing machine brought 279.50 from the seniors, good for second place. Our class was the smallest in many years, but as we sen- iors know, quality is not deter- mined by size. Although we worried them a lot, our class sponsors, Mr. Harwood and Mr. Mitchell, soon became con- vinced that we would carry our own weight. Our officers were Pres. Paul Owens, V.P. Cindy Carfore, Sec. Debbie Guziak and Tr. Randy Collins.

Being a senior is more than just a bunch of guys and girls using their influence. There are responsibilities and much hard work. The first thing seniors must do is study, for without study there is no diploma, no graduation, and perhaps no job. After study- ing there is time for many activities such as Homecoming, football and basketball games, dances. Big Red Week, and all of those fees, lines, and practice before the big dav, grad- uation. These preparations include paying of class dues, being measured for caps and gowns , ordering senior pictures and announce- ments, and paying for all of it. Finally comes the senior play, senior breakfast, signing of yearbooks, and the big day. Commencement. Without realizing it, we will be alumni.

It has gone fast, sometimes with tears and disappointment, but mostly with happiness and success. Some of the disappointment came in our first two years. It’s not that we were a bad class, it just took a while to get us off the ground. During our freshman year we built a fourth place float, “Little Jack Horner” and elected Becky Prevost and Debbie Rotter to the queen’s court. During our sophomore year our float “Mighty Mouse” rated last again while we elected Jean Andrews and Barb Beattie to the court. We got fired up starting our junior year and showed everyone by building a first place float in “Casey Jones” and electing Joe lie Houel and Janet Seely to the court. We also placed second in the canned food drive.

Seniors, No one would believe me if I said these have been four of the greatest years (not even I, because I can still remember Home- coming ’69 and Little Jack Horner or 0 and the flattest Mighty Mouse anyone had ever seen). We were slow to our feet but once we got there, there was no stopping us (even though the administration tried). In ’71 Homecoming we built the best and the “cheapest” float ever built (no one ever asked as the truckloads of lumber came in). Then came the greatest J-Hop ever. This year we made it two in a row in floats and we even won the game! No one must forget that great senior club “Royal Order of the Purple Elephants” for their donation to the class (R.O.P.E.). In closing all 1 can sav is Keep It Up Seniors — It has been great! Paul Owens 171 Earning money is not an easy task. So when you go to spend it, think hard. How should it be spent ? Where should it be spent? A school is more than just the people who work together in the same building. It also includes and involves countless other people who although they are not present are part of the scene. Together , all of these people are called community. Parents , friends, graduates, and businesses both near and far are part of the community . For The Student, the advertisers are an important part of the Big Red community. They are the folks who help make a yearbook possible. They contribute financially so that P.H.H.S. can have a yearbook worth remembering. 172 COMMUNITY Shaker Touma Fine apparel for men and boys Phone: 984-1595 Location: 108 Huron Ave. London’s Farm Dairy Inc.
