Attending work- shops and extracurricular classes helped them to expand their teaching abilities. Each teacher received a plan period which enabled him to prepare class notes and lectures. However, class- time was not spent in textbook learning alone. The teachers witnessed the students maturing and developing as individuals, while the students, in turn, came to respect their teachers.

Mrs. Miller, the sponsor, organized money-making projects to sell such as candles and candy in order to earn money for the various trips that were taken by the club. Visits to an authentic Mexican restaurant, Chicago and Fort Wayne, and a trip to Valpor- aiso to see a ballet were only a few of the fun things that the Spanish Club did throughout the year.

The secret to success is communication, and the secret to communication is an understanding of the English language. New Prairie’s English department provided the students with opportu- nities to practice public speaking, to read liter- ary classics, and to expand their vocabularies. Students also learned the meanings of coherence and unity, and how to apply them syntactically and rhetorically while writing. Foreign communication has become increas- ingly important with the expansion of foreign relations. New Prairie helped students develop an understanding of the Spanish and French languages and cultures. The students did outside projects in order to fully explore these countries, and the teachers showed filmstrips as part of their curriculum. Exchange student representa- tives also visited the foreign language class- rooms to discuss the excitement of foreign ex- change. Devout scholars. Here! Right under your nose. Language 61 Business This is what you are to type. Efficiency was the key word to the Business depart- ment. Whether it meant typing faster, speedily jotting down shorthand, quickly calculating interest, or learning the vocabulary of the business world for easier communi- cation, the students experienced the ambiance of work- ing in an office and participating in the business world. Students who majored in business were prepared to con- tinue their educations and enter the business field as managers, marketing specialists, accountants, or sec re- taries. Word processing Wizard.

As freshmen we were terrified to walk the halls; as seniors no hallway was left untrodden. Within four years, we experienced success and failure. The faculty became more than our tutors, they became our friends. On June 2, when we received our diplomas, the rush of these memories was overwhelm- ing. During graduation we realized, perhaps for the first time, that we were no longer students but graduates; no longer “kids” but adults.

In early spring of 1967 custodians Irv Andrysiak and Ted Zopf found Barney, a nonedescript black and brown mongrel, near the sewage plant behind the school. Barney stayed by the north entrance near the custodain’s office. In the winter, Barney slept on a jacket by the door. Many of the school personell including Principal Amzie Miller and Andrysiak brought food to Barney. During bad weather of the winter and summer Miller check on Barney. After Barney was at the school for nine years, one of the teachers, Don Thomas, decided it was time to enroll Barney as a freshman and he became Barney C. Hines on the freshman class roll. Barney’s closest call to expulsion came when Kenneth Gradeless protested to the office that Barney Heinz enrolled in his accounting class and never showed up after the first day. Perhaps Barney wasn’t mathematically inclined, but he never missed a day of school and got all A’s from the entire faculty and student body. Barney’s friends knew the end was near Oct. 4 when the big old dog, during his usual rounds, walked into the agriculture and shop rooms and collapsed. Teachers William Haselton and David Mathews picked Barney up and with gentle care, loaded him into the car for the trip to the office of Dr. Phillip Wolf of New Carlisle. The diagnois wasn’t good. Wolfe told the teachers that Barney’s age and disease were against him. “Barney is terminally ill and will not live long,” Wolfe said. Barney was mercifully put to sleep. Shortly there after Barney was laid to rest in the spot where he was found east of the New Prairie football field behind the school building. Although there was no public ceremony, the people who loved Barney miss greatly his shaggy presence both inside and outside the high school. story by Lori Mansfield Letter From Che Editors As editor and assistant editor of the 1985 Prairie Life, we hope that you have enjoyed this year’s annual as much as we enjoyed putting it together. To accomplish the job, we combined work and sacrifice with ambition and enthusiasm. We sacrificed much of our time; As one one as one if our classmates stated, we have spent half of our senior year in our “office.” We made the most of our opportunity to lay down our senior year in memories. The chance to work with each other and our staff brought many good times and laughter, even though most of the jokes were about our mistakes. We would like to thank our advisor, Mr. Blaine Gamble, for all the time, energy, and concern that he put into the yearbook. He stepped into a new position and was forced to deal with our already set idiosyncracies. We were fortunate in having an advisor who was so dedicated. We would also like to express our gratitude to Mr. Larry Dodd, Mr. Richard Sprague, Mr. Michael Powers, and Mr. Ronald Colborne for their understanding of the necessity of meeting “deadlines.” Mr. Haag deserves our thanks in that he was always there to lend a hand and to help avert those minor castastophies. In addition to the administration and faculty, we would like to give special thanks to Mrs. Judy Adnson for all her patience, time, and assistance. ; Nothing would have been accomplished if not for the efforts of the following people: Joe Allegrette, associate editor; Pay Hayhurst, copy editor; Scott Lenig, business manager; Jim Beckham, our Jostens Representative; Laurie Oshinski, and the rest of our staff.

They good naturedly accepted the threats and the ribbings from the notorious Seniors, and proved them- selves to be a credit to New Prairie. As the year came to an end, the freshmen class excitedly advanced to the rank of sophomores, and prepared for the remain- ing three years.

Meetings were held periodically and community members were welcome to attend. A new track and a new gym floor were installed this year thanks to the work of Dr. Keith Powell, su- perintendent, and the school board, and the co-operation of the school administration. The seniors espe- cially appreciated Dr. Powell and the school board when they agreed to let the senior class off for the last two days of school. Mr. Charles Stephens, curriculum director, also contributed to make 1985 a great year by creating more classes to be offered to the students. 120 School Board smb ey ZB Senior Index ADAMS, Robert Paul: Band — ]-2-3-4; Swing Choir — 2 ALLEGRETTE, Dawn Ma- rie: Cheerleading — 1-2-3; Choir — 1-2; Cougar Re- porter — 4; NHS — 3-4; Letter Club — 3-4; Pep Club — |1-2-3-4; Tennis — 2-3; Track — 1.
