The band, under the direction of Mr. Richard Sprague gives breath-taking performances throughout the year. The Marching Band is another honored musical asset of New Prairie. This Band practices long hours marching and performs half-time routines at many football games. COUGAR PRIDE was exceptional as the Band won the spirit stick this past year. Another truly remarkable aspect of our music department is the Jazz Band. They were kept busy by playing at many dances and community events. They have become Mr. Richard Sprague well known in this area because of their class and talent. Curriculum-13 Mrs. Wynlle Hughes Mr. Tim Moffit Mrs. Maxine Spenner Business Mr. Max Haag Mr. Ed Hamilton Dawn has a hard time concentrating on a keyboard when her picture is being taken. Accomplishing the enormous task of having a term paper typed without errors is a feat which may be accomplished if a person is adept at typewriting. But what ever the future holds for the individuals, the courses taken at New Prairie will be beneficial to them. In the Business department the student will find a variety of courses in which to enroll, whether the person has decided upon an office or business career or for personal use. 14-Curriculum Shcad.

In the history of New Prairie High School the A Capella Choir and Concert Choir has been one of the assets of our glorious school. The A Capella Choir continued to live up to its name by performing without the accompaniment of a piano. While the Concert Choir was working hard to prepare themselves for a future in the A Capella Choir. Both choirs compete in contests and performed in many different places. The choirs have proven to be one of the best in the music department. CHOIR Marsha Belsaas Curriculum-15 Swing Choir Miss Christine Cortier English Important in today's competing society were the Eng- lish Classes. Students learned how to properly express themselves in writing and speech as well as aiding stu- dents in becoming creative and using imaginative thoughts. Writing and rewriting makes a better paper.

Preparing students for the future was a past of the Home Ec classes. In these classes students learned cooking and sewing skills.

Hey, let me tie my shoe! One. two, three ... keeping in shape by exercising provides a basis for future health. Today’s healthy student is tomorrow’s healthy adult. One year of P.E. is required for graduation as well as one semester of health. But many young athletes continue their body-building program throughout their high school years to keep in shape, while others take P.E. just for pure enjoyment. Guess what we're going to do now? I am not cheating!

Clubs-27 COUGAR REPORTER Putting the paper to bed provided the staff of the Cougar Reporter with many challenging events. Trying to find a lost article needed for page one or waiting until the final copy could be completed in order that the paste-up might be finished before the final bell of the school day gave the staff members hectic moments. Needing the missing headline made a staff member rush to the typing room- or that misspelled word on page 6- causing the staff typists to hurriedly get the word spelled correctly and to the page editor so that the word could be spliced into position for the final copy. Deadlines were met though as the rated Cougar Reporter continued its reputation of disseminating school news to the school and community. Brian Will-editor; Marguerite Casper-assislant editor.

A well-deserved break. The 1981 musical was one which will be long remembered. One change, holding the musical in the spring instead of the fall, helped the choir by giving them more time to rehearse for their winter and fall concerts. Although the student body did not see the musical at school like they have always done, many attended the evening shows, and they were surprised by the excellent comedy and acting which were the strong points in this well-performed show. 68 Jud Tolmen.

Speaker Billy Walker gives a moving speech. 124-Graduation Graduates await their turn to receive their diploma. The final part of graduation is when the graduates move their tassels. Graduation-125 1981 Class Night Thirteen years of school is like a baseball game. I do not mean that you are going to strike out, but that the similarities and feelings are very closely related. The first similarity is when you enter kindergarten. Kindergarten is like stepping up to bat for the first time and seeing the pitcher wind up and buzz the ball past you. It is very scary, and all you want to do is to get out of the batter’s box so that you can sit down. Then after you graduate from kindergarten and enter the first grade, you feel about the same as you would when you get a base hit. It is nothing great, but you did get on base. When you have graduated from first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grades, you enter junior high school. BOY! This is the big time! Now you feel the same as you would if you were to get a double. The feeling is great because you know you had to work hard to get a second. After graduating from seventh and eighth grades, you enter your freshmen year of high school. Now you feel that you have the world by the tail; you are beginning to become an adult and have more responsibilities on your shoul- ders especially after moving out of the old junior high school and into the more modern high school. Your feeling now are similar to getting a triple. A triple is about the biggest achievement a batter could get besides a home run, because it has to be a hard hit ball and you have to really be moving in able to make it to third safely. Now comes your senior year. You are on the top of the world now; all your hard work and studying is behind you and all that you have to do is make a decision on what you want to do. Your feelings at this time are similar to those if you are in a championship game that you are losing, and the score is seven to four with the bases loaded and a full count with two outs. You know that you have to get some kind of a hit in order for your team to have a chance. You take one last look at the coach for your signal; then you step into the batter’s box and wait for the pitch. The pitcher is winding up; he throws the ball; it is a meat pitch. ” POWH You stand in the box watching the ball go; the center fielder is going back, back! HEY! HEY! It's a home run!!! This is where we are now. We are seeing the ball go over the fence. Now what we have to do is to make it around without triping and falling on our faces. Will we? -BRIAN WILLIAMSON.
