lEnuds o{y Q JfeatReA Preparation for The Student started long before the beginning of the school year. The theme, “Fallen Feathers”, and sub-themes had to be decided; pages needed designing; copy was waiting to be written; and the staff organizing had to be done. With deadlines looming over them ev- ery few weeks, the staff spent many frantic and fast-paced days in the class- room. Their work consisted of drawing “dummy” layout designs, transferring to tri-copies, writing copy, taking and devel- oping pictures, designing graphics, and keeping the books in the order — not to mention endless hours of typing, printing, proof-reading, correcting, rewriting and rushing around in a panic as the deadline approached! Adding to the general confu- sion was the occasional argument between staff members, but such disagreements were easily smoothed over, restoring rela- tive harmony. How did the yearbook staff find time to Getting suggestions for her band copy, Business Manager Michelle Morris prepares the BRMM spread. NOT PICTURED: G. Crittenden, J. Grain, V. Pearl, T. Wajda, R.

It was not unknown for these people to remain at their posts until 10:00 p.m. when a deadline was near. In addition, the yearbook tried something new this year: they organized an after-school yearbook staff. The new group consisted of people who were inter- ested in working on the yearbook, but could not participate in the class. Once again, Advisor Ms. Zauner and Editor-In- Chief Tina Carroll were there to super- vise. Class and after-school work sessions were not the only time yearbook members put into the making of The Student. Each member was required to meet an ad-sales quota, contacting various businesses around Port Huron, offering them the opportunity to advertise in the yearbook. And of course, there were the yearbooks themselves to sell. Each staffer The members of The Student were as follows: J. Sliwa, A. Lakin, D. Dooley, K. Sanderson, M. Diaz, P. Pruneau, T. Tonkovich, D. Todd, S. Coburn, J. Zauner, K. Richmond, K. Twiss, M. Dauphinais, K. Smith, K. Jemison, T. Carroll, T. Klink, J. Clute, M. Morris, B. Hock, D. VanDenBerge, S. Nelson, and T. Tolladay. took orders in his or her third hour class for a few days early in October, while some volunteered their time to sell during the three lunch hours. Also, there were yearbook gatherings at several loca- tions around the state. On September 27, Editor-In-Chief Tina Carroll at- tended an EML meeting at Mt. Clemens High School. On October 10, about 10 members of The Student staff attended a convention at Michi- gan State University. There is a lot more involved in putting together a yearbook than meets the eyes and ears of most people. The 1988-89 yearbook staff hopes that this edition of The Student will hold many special memories for you in your “feathering” future.

Enthusiasm Strikes “When I made the team, I was so anxious and ‘geeked up’ I didn’t know how to calm down. My mom was sick of me talking about the team.” Antionette Williams wasn’t alone in her enthusiasm about the Thunderbirds. For Anjeanette Ridner it meant, “I was elated, I cried, I screamed.” Performing pregame and halftime, the Thunderbird Drill Team got ready for competitions. Performances included go- During the Memorial Day Parade, Carla Lohr holds her head high despite the heat. ing to Hazel Park Invitational and Roch- ester Invitational. They would have to meet at the school at 6:30 a.m. They com- peted against other dance groups from other schools around Michigan as well as Ohio. They practiced on Monday and Tuesday from 3 to 5 and on Wednesday from 5 to 7. While practicing for competition, Sue Paciorek remembered, “Sandy Moore fell and we all laughed. Right after that an- other girl fell for the same reason.” The memorable events like games and competitions coupled with the funny moments made the Thunderbirds Drill Team a group which contin- ued to attract new members.
