REPRESENTING THE STUDENTS Involvement. Dedication. Hard work. Collaboration. These are just a few of the words that describe what it takes to be a Student Council mem- ber. Student Council , according to ju- nior representative Eric Halamka, is representing the school body. We are the student body ' s voice. We demand more rights, influences, and responsi- bilities in this school ' s actions and functions. A student council member has many duties, such as attending meetings and functions, serving on committees, taking feedback from fel- low students, and setting a good example, stated council president Michael Sullivan. One of the main responsibilities of student council is to help other organ- The Freshman and Sophomore members of Student Council were: (Top) Jennifer Adams, Angie Parmann, Jason Wiegand, Kerri Brenton, Monica Briggins, Steve Smith, Andrew Burgess, (second row) Amy Hall, Heather Hall, Doneka Scott, Daisy Freeman, Lynette Sassanella, (bottom) Heather Frame, Jenny Fleishman, Samantha Harris, Dalynne Goodwin, Nicki Lathrop, and Jennifer Ward.

This is usually done by fund raisers, and the council has found that a dance seems to be the most effective way of raising funds for an organization, although Student Council does need its own funds and sponsored four dances this year. Sometimes, however, the council does use other means of raising funds; for instance, the spring magazine sale. The money was used to purchase landscaping materials for the school, such as the trees for the front of the school and in the courtyard, and the two wooden fences on the 24th Street side of the school building. Something new about Student Council this year was the addition of the new Director of Student Activities, Mr. Robert Verran. This was Mr. Verran ' s first experience as an advisor for Student Council. He says that he likes to run things by committees because they run smoothly and efficiently, and that his goals for the council are to change its di- rection by helping other students ' organ- izations get what they need by serving all P.H.H.S. groups. From committee work, to ticket tak- ing, to ballot counting, to setting up for dances, to setting a good example, the P.H.H.S. Student Council members worked to represent the student body. Discussing the sale of a magazine subscription are Wendy Koglin and Dan Kilbourne. Wendi was also in the NHS and Dan had Skill Center as part of his schedule. The magazine sale ran for two weeks in March. 1 8 Student Council

Students Hit the Street Homecoming Parade Pizazz was the order of the day on September 18, 1987. At 11:15 a.m. exactly, one bell rang and students poured out of the doors of Port Huron High School with the faculty following soon after. The event: The Homecoming Parade! The Homecoming Court, Drama Club, and several other schools or volunteers joined together at the driver ' s training strip by Memorial Stadium to begin the parade. The walk was memorable for the Drama Club. They were allowed to wear costumes free of charge from Lendzion ' s for the afternoon. Many of them had pennies to give the children lining the streets. Cos- tumed students gave hugs and kisses to the younger kids who had eagerly awaited their arrival. Squeals of delight rang from the sidewalks of Roosevelt School or downtown Port Huron as Raggedy Andy or a giant hot dog or ice cream cone strolled by. As Kim Sexton said, It was really hot in the costumes. You don ' t think it ' s a lot of work but it is. Kim portrayed Raggedy Ann. The parade route was zigzagged and went down busy streets such as 10th Avenue or quie t streets such as White Street. The route ended by traipsing through downtown Port Huron greeting shoppers, and DPHI workers as well, as they finished their jaunt in front of McMorran Place Arena. Students not involved in the parade watched with smiles as they viewed their friends in the parade. Guesses and comments were made about the floats and who would win. A better way to spend the afternoon, instead of classes, was to be outside enjoying the companionship of friends and pre game excitement that goes along with homecom- ing, was the general feeling of everyone. The day ended with the winning football game against Anchor Bay. The Senior float of Pinocchio won first place this year for best Home- coming Float. The class of 1988 has won the coveted spot for the past two years. London Gunter portrays two at once courtesy of Lendzion ' s. London was one of The Fat Boys during the History of Rock-n-Roll Passing by the students of Roosevelt Elementary, Mrs. Foxlee ' s kids, and exchange student Petra Svedin add to the sweetness of the parade. Petra, who portrays a delectable cake, was from Sweden. 20 Homecoming Parade
