On the night of Friday, October 19th — Parents’ Night, Richie Cunningham presents his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham to the Big Red Fans. Both parents were very active in raising funds with the Port Huron Athletic Association. During his first appearance, Steve Wizz” Wisniewski asks a fel- low Big Red for assistance in putting on his “war paint . On the end of his spear was the beginnings of a Grosse Pointe South Blue Devil”. “Wizz” was elected by the student body to be the Big Red Chief. A Boost or a Let Down One could feel the excitement as the game began. The Big Reds football players had “The chance of a life time,” the chance to be a part of a championship team. If the varsity football team won the game against Grosse Pointe South, they could have shared in the Eastern Michigan League championship. The crowd, as well as the players, were involved in the game emotionally. The 21-14 loss was felt deeply by all who attended the game. Quarterback, Joe Rankin, really felt the loss. He said, “We could have beaten them, we’re a better team than we appeared to be. We would have won if we had played mistake-free football.” For Senior Keith Schnieder it was “A big let down. We’ve tried for three years to beat them. This was our last chance.” Senior Wendall Callahan felt the loss was a, “Booster for the rivalry games between Northern and Marysville.” Richie Cunningham was, “Pleased with the effort put forth by both the offense and defense. The few mistakes we made really cost us.” Despite the mixed feelings of the football players the majority of fans felt that the team performed well. . Student Life — 11

Replaying The Years The staff of the Student wishes to create an Instant Replay for the senior class of ' 85. Just four short years ago, in 1982, they entered the building as freshmen. Sports were back, we had a winning football team, and everyone was in high spirits. With the help of Class Sponsor, Mr. Stoner, Humpty Dumpty took fourth in the competition with the other nursery rhyme centered floats. Sophomore year brought changes to P.H. The new class sponsor, Mr. Harri- son, assisted in the construction of fourth place Woodstock. The theme of 1983 was the Peanuts gang. As Juniors, Mr. Harrison again aided in the construction of Hagar the Horri- ble. Hagar took second, beating all but one comic strip character. As they entered the building in the fall of 1984 they were seniors. Under the guidance of Mr. Vandenbergh and Mr. Hodge the winning McDonaldiand character Hamburglar was built. As the year went on seniors gathered together for these senior picture at McMorran. Eventually graduation exercises ended their time together at PH. Poalng for their first and last picture as a class, the 1985 seniors gathered in front of McMorran Auditorium located on Huron Avenue in Downtown Port Huron. The photograph was taken by Robert Jechura. Seniors -13
