5B THE TIMES HERALD PORT HURON, MICH. Sunday April 18, 1982 COURTS Vandals hit high school FORT GRATIOT TOWNSHIP Vandals caused more than $1,000 damage to halls and rooms when they broke into Port Huron Northern High School, 1799 Krafft Road, Friday night or early Saturday morning, St. Clair County Sheriff deputies said. The vandals emptied several fire extinguishers in the hallways and in a classroom. They destroyed two doors leading into the student council offices and ransacked drawers and cabinets there and in the main offices next door, Deputy Terry Baker said.

The secretaries' desks were rifled and pennies from a file cabinet in the main office were scattered on the floor. No money appeared to be taken. They also smashed the glass of a hallway clock, Baker said. James Goldsworthy, assistant principal, said, "We could find nothing missing. They were apparently looking for money." Richard M.

Miller, teacher and a part-time baseball coach, discovered the damage about 7:30 a.m. Saturday. "They were definitely kids. If they were adults there was a lot of stuff they could have taken. I have some individuals in mind and I'm going to pursue it beginning the first of the week," Goldsworthy said.

The man stopped his car and attempted to catch Bergos, but Bergos fell the sidewalk in front of the house.

Dance lesson Area residents had the chance to dance to the sound of beating drums Saturday in the St. Clair County Community College Fine Arts Theatre. The Bichinis Bia Congo Dance Troupe conducted classes in traditional Congolese dance, beating drums and using body movements to tell the stories and celebrations of the Congolese people. "During the classes we try to teach the people to use their bodies to dance," Jean Claude Bahouguila-Biza, the troupe's founder and choreographer, said. "Each part of the dance means something.

Each movement means something. The whole dance tells a story, such as the everyday life of the African village." The 10-member troupe also performed Saturday night at the college. The performance and workshops were sponsored by the college Dance Club, Black Awareness Club and Student Government.
