They aver - aged more gains than losses leaving a fine record. They displayed skill which made Prairie City High School proud. Next year we will miss the graduating seniors: Harold Tinmons, Lowell Mc Fadden, Lawrence Mc Fadden Raymond Steenhoek, and the service will probably call Max Schuttlnga. Darrell Steenhoek will be the only letterman returning. We leave our wishes for Good Luck to next year's team. Front Ho 1.e. : M. Schuttlnga, C.

Good luck! The Prairie City High School Letter Club was organized by a group of ambitious athletes in the early thirties. ' The purpose of the club was to create more interest in athletics. There are three officers: president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer. .The vice-president is elected from the junior class and automatically becomes president the following year. The secretary-treasurer may be elected from any class, other than the senior class. The members now holding office are: president, Lawrence McFadden: vlcewprcsldent, lax Schuttingag secretary-treasurer, Ramona Wiggins. Anyone, who has been awarded a letter in athletics and has been voted in by a two-thirds majority of the old members is eli- giole for membership in the club. A meeting or session may be called at any ti e desired by the president. The 1944 and '45 members consisted of twenty-two athletes. They have earned letters by participating in football, basketball or baseball, anu also cheerleaders. Letters in basketball were alarded too late for this annual. Members are as follows: Lawrence McFadden, Lovell Mc Fadden Clarence Gilbert, Harold Roberts, lax Schuttiuga, Darrell Steen- bock, Johnny Young, Warren Ray Booher, Wayne Stravers, Eugene Osborn, Elise Buiteawerf, larilyn McFadden, Neola 5chutt1nga Mary Lou McFadden, Kettle Helm, Ramona Wiggins, Joe '1mm1ns, John Berry Kane, Marcia Ann Schuttinga, Marilyn Van Steenbergen, Ray- mond Steenbock, Harold.
