Thunderbirds Highlight Activities With Precision Drills, Performances Port Huron High School ' s dance and drill team is the Thunderbirds. They consist of 20 girls and a Little Red Prin- cess. They practice two hours a day 3-4 times a week. Before school started this year, the Thunderbirds h ad been practicing, dancing and marching to all the new rou- tines their executives brought back from Smith Walbridge camp in Syracuse Indiana. While at camp they received ribbons for their group. Earlier this year they placed second at the International Music Festival in Toronto. Their plans for this year are to keep on performing and practicing hard for their annual competition in Rochester, Michigan, where they are up against stiff competition. They always seem to manage to come through and bring back a trophy for our school.

Display Flags Enjoy Performing Display Flags One part of the Big Reds March- ing Machine is the Display Flags. The Display Flags add color and va- riety to the Marching Machine. The 1977-78 Flags officers are Michele Williams (captain), Chris White (co- captain), Joyce Gosman (sec.), The- resa Polechonski (treas.), Dana Parks (historian), and Bonnie Boyd (mas- cot). The rest of the members are: Cindy Prater, Kelly Herring, Diane Radske, and Debbie Harris. The Dis- play Flags perform at the evening football games, (selected) basketball games, and such things as the band- tastic and different parades. They also travel with the Marching Ma- chine like the trip to Toronto, in which they won first place in com- petition. They have performed at talent shows, worked as hostesses at the International Dinner, and worked as ushers at the spring con- cert. The Flags raised money by having bake sales, selling candy, and helping the Breakfast Optimist with their Chicken barbecue.
