From Student to Queen and Back Again “It was the most nerve-racking experience I have ever been through in my life. I knew that Mr. Burgess and other staff members knew who would be crowned and I could only walk around wondering. Then when I was finally crowned, I was so relieved. All the anticipation was gone. It’s great to know my peers chose me to represent our school. I don’t feel as if I’ve changed now, only in a beautiful memory to last a lifetime. I hope this success carries through after I graduate.” Only the words of Selena Lloyd can begin to describe what the crowning of a queen is like. These feelings could only be shared by former and future Port Huron High School home- coming queens. Being relatively new to the Port Huron Area.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Dance . . . With a few minutes to spare before the homecoming dance, maybe you wouldn’t stop by KMart. Maybe you wouldn’t, but Tim Martin, Robin Dulemba, Victoria Marx and Kevin McClelland saw no reason why a blue light special should be missed after a light dinner at the Fogcutter. Getting lost in Canada was really popular on home- coming night. On their way to the Olde Country Steakhouse, cheerleader Kathy Knox and Big Red Chief Joe Kelley were one such couple with this dilemma. At least Christine Cunningham and Terry Warden knew where they were going. They just had problems getting there! Everytime they shut the ignition off, the car would refuse to start again! Despite these incidents, and a few dozen more, of course, the homecoming was a success. The plain, athletic appearance of our dear gym was miraculously transformed into a sparkling ballroom filled with beauti- fully clad young women and handsome young men. The night sped by for the many who enjoyed the popular I music and the accompanying videos. “It was really cool! The Student Council did a marvel- ous job decorating the gym. I had a really fantastic time!” remarked enthusiastic Maria Oussoren. For Maria, the memory that will remain with her will be her extravagant pre-dance dinner at A W. For oth- ers, the memories may also be unique. In this respect, the homecoming dance was a success, for if the knowl- edge we attain in high school fails us, our unique memo- ries will last a lifetime. Boogying the night away, dance goers find themselves in the midst of a crowd of approximately 200. % 1 ii 22 Clad in winter white. Terry O’Brien and Buddy Cripps dance to a slow song. A popular song was “Cherish” by Kool and the Gang. Keeping in step with homecoming fashion, Penny Roskey and Chris Kruskie enjoy their night together.
