-iu o The Buildings Changed as the School Changed 1976 was the year of the Bicentennial. The entire nation spent much of its time listening and looking at reminders of our two century heritage. We were deluged by the subject in every direc- tion we went. In deciding the theme for THE STUDENT, the staff eventually decided to bring the spirit of the year to the school in a look at what we have been ond what we have become. Port Huron High School has been in existence for one hun- dred and seven years. During that time America has changed greatly. We have attempted to show how that change has affected Port Huron High School. The first school building in Port Huron was built prior to 1 840 at Court and Seventh. In 1874, a new five-story brick school was erected on the present site of St. Clair County Commu- nity College. This building was used for grades and high school. It burned in 1906. In 1908, a new high school building was completed. In 1925, an additional wing was added. That same year, the old Civic Auditorium was purchased and rebuilt as gymnasium and auditorium. By 1 955, the school was too small to house a grow- ing student population. In January, 1957, the school was moved to its present building on Court and 24th Streets.

Council Power Grows The Student Council dotes from February, 1 929, when the student body voted to try out the plan of Student Government. It has contin- ued ever since. The first Student Council was comprised of fifteen members and was to act as “a medium between the faculty and the student body,” according to the 1 930 STUDENT. Through the intervening 46 years, the Student Council has grown both in numbers and in goals. Today, the group is totally responsible for planning, decorating, and supervising the annual Homecoming fes- tivities. They hold “spirit week,” the magazine sale (from which they earn operating funds), the Christmas Food Drive, and plan all assem- blies. More than sixty representatives and officers are involved in the , 5 1 « It 1 4 k n f £ , f ® j 9 § 1 a « r fjV • v . w - o TOP RIGHT — The 1 935 Student Council.
