Some say homecoming is a dying tradition, but one look at the large number of people who participate in both horpecoming and float building, and you KNOW that it is far from dead! One of the main events of homecoming is the float com- petition. Years from now, when we all go our separate ways, one of our fondest memories of Port Huron High School will be that of the many hours spent trying to build a first place float. Perhaps one of the BIG- GEST reasons it attracts so many people is that it is one of the few things a class can do as a whole. A unified effort so to speak. Of course, there are other reasons - the parties which usually result from float meet- ings - a chance to make new friends - and just because it is plain old-fashioned FUN. But no matter what the outcome of the float competition, there are certain to be cries of dissent, which will linger in the hearts and halls of P.H.H.S. until next year, when we are again caught up in the madness of it all! After all, homecoming has been around for a long, long, time and hopefully will be for many years to come. A dying tradition? NEVER! ! ! TOP - The ugly duckling turned into a swan, is what this float reminded us of. Although it doesn’t look very good now, the Juniors worked on it until it was good enough to cop second place honors. BOTTOM - Some dedicated freshman students show enthusiasm (?) while making the countless flowers required for a float . HC Still Going Strong 22

Judy Young Named Homecoming Queen What comes to mind when you think of homecoming? Pretty girls? Floats? Parades? Football Games? All of that and more accompanied the crown- ing of the new 1974-75 Home- coming Queen. An honor that every girl dreams of at least once in her life! That dream came true for happy but tearful Judy Young when she was crowned Home- coming Queen on November 2. Judy, a senior, and varsity cheerleader, said that she was shocked when they announced her name. She enjoys all out- door activities, and plans to attend S.C.C.C.C to become a registered nurse . We not only elected Judy queen, but we also chose two girls from each class to com- plete her court. All are very pretty, and all attend Port Huron High School (naturally!). Which just goes to show you that the band isn ' t P.H.H.S.’s only claim to fame; just look around you! ! TOP RIGHT - Homecoming Court.
