you can achieve vertical aligning with display:table-cell:

#section1 {
    height: 90%;

#section1 h1 {display:table-cell; vertical-align:middle}

Update - CSS3

For an alternate way to vertical align, you can use the following css 3 which should be supported in all the latest browsers:

#section1 {
    height: 90%; 
    width:100%;
    display:flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
}
