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
