IT CLASS PROPHESY My Dear Friend Edna: While sitting on the porch of my home here in Florida, and thinking of our old classmates, a lonesome feeling steals over me. So I have decided to answer your letter and tell you of our classmates and what they are doing in the world. Frank McNamara, who was always a “great joke” at school, has joined the Keystone Film Co. and is leading character among the comedians. I have the pleasure of seeing him quite often in the Tampa theaters. While going through the Art Institute in Chicago last month, I found many of Myrtle Hintze’s paintings and drawings on exhibition. I also attended a Grand Opera while there, and you can imagine how surprised I was to find Eliese Boeckh singing the leading role. Have you heard that August Plondke has just returned from three years study abroad, and is now ready to take up his position as senior physician in Cook County Hospital? August’s aim in life was always to be a doctor and I’m sure he will succeed. While on an excursion to Havana last year, I had the pleasure of talking with Raymond Zeman who is manager of the White Star Line. I was very much surprised when he told me that Claude Sime travels from city to city in a Wright Aeroplane giving flying exhibitions. Florence Des Rocher lias a position at the Central High School in Denver as Domestic Science teacher and likes her work very well. I receive the Madison paper, and noticed in one of the late issues that Muriel Schnug has taken up athletics and cannot be surpassed even by Annette Kellerman. Did you notice that Oscar Fritschie held first place in America’s group of self-made men? At present he is pushing an engineering project in Central America. Sallie Schultz, who has many medals for speed tests, is now private Secretary for Lorene Peacock, who is president of the Speedup Automobile Co. in Wisconsin. In the Chicago Tribune not long ago. I read that Esther Karno p is married, and has her home on one of the largest and best farm's in Illinois. Looking farther on in the column, I found that Louise Rowley has become very famous as a novelist. I have read several of her books and find them very entertaining, and would suggest that you read them at the first opportunity. Esther Germore gave a talk on education one evening in San Francisco, which I had the opportunity of hearing. I talked to her before she left, and learned that she was sent out by the Minnesota University. Our all star basket ball player, Kenneth Green, is now coach of athletics at Washington University. Mae Weightier. my old school chum, has taken up a position as head nurse in St. John’s Hospital at Minneapolis. I had quite a talk with her during a short visit there a few weeks ago. So you see that our class which was always said to be the most industrious in High School has lived up to its standard and is doing its work in the busy world. My work as a journalist carries me to many parts of the country and it pleases me when 1 meet one of my classmates and learn of the things they are doing for the betterment of the world. In a few weeks I shall be in New York and if time permits will certainly look you up, and have a good chat with you. permit , will certainty lco c you up, and have a sorcl ch t w th you.

I didn’t know anything about it, but I declare I never saw sech rough and tumble in my life. “First, one fella had the ball, and purty soon another fella’d go tearin’ at him, like he’d like to eat him up. The fella what had the ball had the nerve to throw it at another fella with all his might. Lucky for him he had his eyes open an’ caught it or it ’ud a knocked him right down. This fella, they called “Wally,” threw the ball through a hoop with a fish net around it an’ then sech hollerin’ an’ yellin’ you never heard tell of. “Purty soon a fella hollered, “Time.” I looked at my watch an’ was a gonna tell him it was half past eight, (Imagine me out at that hour of the night,) when ’Lizabeth sez someone was hurt an’ I got all excitement. “They was a fella they called “Peaky” layin’ on the floor, but I didn’t see that he was very peaked lookin’. Two fellas they called “Otto” an’ “Gremore” was washin’ his face an’ fannin him. I thought maybe it was that he had fainted er sumthin’ but when he got up he had a black eye. I’ll bet his pa an’ ma thought he got in a fight an’ got the worst end of the deal. “Well, they played a little while an’ purty soon they was a revolver shot. I thought sure somebody was killed, but ’Lizabeth sez that half the game was over. I wanted to go home but ’Lizabeth, she wanted to stay dretful bad. Just then they was a yell, an’ all the kids in town, I guess, got in a bunch an’ hollered. You couldn’t make out much only “Prairie High” about every three words. “Well, the fella with the whistle cum back an’ blew till you’d think the roof ’ud cum ofif. Say, I bet he thought he was havin’ a good time, ’cause he blowed that thing about every two minutes, an’ he hopped aroun’ like a chicken with its head chopped off. “This time when they started playin’ again they was more hollerin’ than ever, so I guess “Prairie” was ahead. They usually are. When the revolver went off again I wasn’t so scared, ’cause I was expectin’ it. “I asked ’Lizabeth who that good lookin’ fella was standin’ over in the corner with such a big smile, like he was awfully happy, though his face was about the color of my red calicer dress. ’Lizabeth sez it was Kindley, ‘the coach’, whatever that is, an’ that he was turribly pleased. “Nine rahs for the team,” hollered a fella. Then Rah, rah, rah, ‘Hank.’ Rah, rah, rah, ‘Dick.’ Rah, rah, rah, ‘Ken,’ an’ they rah rahed off a lingo of names. “I tell you them young folks sure is glad when they win a basketball game. I kinda liked it an’ really believe I’ll go an’ see another when I’m in town.” —Eliese W. Boeckh. PRINCE DISCONTENT Many years ago, when the earth was young, and fairies and goblins inhabited every lonely cove or strip of wood, a certain Prince, Sir Discontent, decided that, in order to be perfectly happy, he must go in search of Adventure. Now, in those days, Adventure was not hard to find. In fact, she usually met a person when he least expected to see her. He was not even given the pleasure of looking forward to the meeting. 2(5 So it happened this time Prince Discontent had barely got out of sight of his father’s castle when Adventure came, in the guise of a band of robbers, who burst from the forest and surrounded him. Quickly, they stripped him of his clothing, giving, in exchange, the ragged coat of a beggar. For his splendidly caparisoned mount, he received a wornout horse which had done service for innumerable years in carrying the baggage of different masters. It had at last fallen into the hands of the outlaws and, so old and disabled was it, that they were only too glad to get rid of it. Sir Discontent, after the robbers had left him, was in a most pitiable plight. Not only was he in raiment totally unsuited to his rank, but he was cut, and bruised, and almost exhausted, for though he knew it was hopeless, he had fought bravely when the bandits attacked him. “Surely,” he said, “this is Adventure, this is what I have wished for. Yet, truly, it is not so desirable as I thought. Perhaps this is not the usual Adventure, though, so I will go on, and, perchance, I may find her in a better mood.” The road led on through a dark ravine. On one side, huge trees shut off the light, their branches dropping and interlacing with those across the way. On the other side, the trees were separated from the path by the sinuous windings and twistings of a deep, black-bedded brook. Indeed, everything was so gloomy that the Prince could scarcely repress an apprehensive glance over his shoulder. VVliat he saw startled him, for there, close at his heels and silent as a shadow, came a gnome, riding on the back of a huge, black bear. When he found that he was noticed, the gnome spoke, saying, “You are welcome, Sir Knight, to my humble home. We are almost there, and perhaps it would be best for me to lead, so as not to miss the door.” The Knight, struck speechless by the gnome’s evident knowledge of his identity, followed him into what appeared to be merely an especially thick hedge. He found himself in an underground passage, and having left his horse outside, now proceeded on foot. As the passage widened, a gleam of light came from ahead, and the muffled sound of an anvil reached his ears as from a great distance. Suddenly, the walls on either side opened, and he found himself in a huge, underground cavern, dimly lighted by the glow from a circle of forges, at which tiny figures were working as though their life depended on the amount of energy they put into each stroke. As h.c stood, amazed by what he saw, his companion touched his arm, calling his attention to the first forge on the left, which was idle. The prince, seeing jewels glittering in the handle of the hammer near it, reached out to examine it. But, the minute he touched it, an irresistible power compelled him to go on with the work. Now, the Prince knew that this was caused by magic, but he had no way to break the charm, so he had to work, and work. Strange to say, though his muscles were tired, he always had strength enough for another stroke. A long time afterwards, the dwarf, who had disappeared, came back, leading a young man, in much the same condition in which the Prince had been. Prince Discontent found himself at the next forge in line, and the new traveler took his place. After that, he was moved again and again, until, when taken from the last forge, he arrived in a narrow passage leading away from the place of torture. Following this, he met the gnome who had led him into the gruesome cavern. “I am Adventure,” he said. “Have you had enough? This is the 27 place where I educate such as you, who, dissatisfied with a normal life, must needs seek me. After they have gone through all the pain and hardship which I can give them by my method, they may return to their homes with more experience, and a little more wisdom. If you follow the path, you will find your own horse and your proper raiment. Go, and seek happiness in some other way.” As he proceeded on his return journey, the Prince mused, “Have not the tales which have been told me been exaggerated? It was Adventure, but not nearly as pleasant when met with personally as when told of by someone else. I have my mount and my own clothes, and also some added experience and wisdom. Happiness I will have if I wait, and with it I will find contentment. I know now that things are not always as they are represented.” —Myrtle Hintze. EXTRACTS FROM A FRESHMAN’S DIARY Sept. 5—The first day of High School for me. How those “upper classmen” do stare at us. I wonder if we do look so green. Someone came up behind me this noon and told me to move on and not loiter in the halls. Of course, I thought it was one of those Seniors always ready to correct or advise a Freshie, so I just said, “Move on yourself.” If I ever was surprised in my life it was when, on being ordered to the office, I found that the supposed Senior was one of the teachers. Sept. 18—Just scared stiff to pass one of those Seniors or Juniors. They never mind their own business and no telling what they’ll do. I found out though this noon. Before I knew what was happening, they had me down in the basement and gave me a good ducking. Guess maybe they thought I hadn’t washed my face this morning. They said I was being initiated—I’ll have to look that word up in the dictionary. Sept. 29—What a relief to think this is Friday. I’ll have two days of “peace” anyway. Wonder how they expect us to find ourselves in that big building. Went into the “G” room this afternoon by mistake, 'fell you I got out of there in a hurry. It was those Seniors again— they were talking awfully funny, (think they called it German) but it sounded rather suspicious to me. Didn’t take me long to make myself scarce. Oct. 2—Began another week of agony this morning. I just wonder who invented that subject they call “Algebra.” My, I’d like to get hold of that man. I’d like to know what good that A, B, and C, is anyway; I’ll work my problems out with numbers any day. Oct. 13—They tell me I’m on for “Freshmen Rhetoricals” soon (whatever that is). Guess I’ve got to get up and speak a little piece. Good idea to skip that morning. Oct. 30—Well I’m still alive. One can’t take a step or make a misslip of any kind, but what there is a Junior or a Senior behind him to tell him about it. Don’t mind the teasing so much as I do the cold baths. Have had three or four now. Marched out with the girls today. Don’t see much wrong in that, but, of course, the school laughed. Nov. 2—Two of my classmates gave their little speech this morning. My I did feel sorry for them. They were as white as ghosts and you could see their knees shaking from the back of the room. When I do my little stunt, I won’t act as they did, I’ll be very calm, and composed. Nov. 14—Doesn’t take much to make these upper classmen laugh. 28 This noon they about doubled up because I stuffed my handkerchief in my mouth. Nov. 23—I’m going right back to eighth grade; I’m not going to stay in High School one day longer. A fellow doesn’t know his soul’s his own. I made my first appearance in rhetorical work this morning. Speaking of being “calm and composed,” it’s easier said than done. Why my knees began to shake before I got to school; but I managed to stumble through my piece. I’ve had enough High School. Eighth Grade for me. Dec. 8—That Thanksgiving vacation made me feel pretty good, and I’m still in High School. Had lots of fun this morning—a regular circus. Couple of the boys got up in front (they didn’t seem a bit frightened) and did all sorts of stunts and led the others in singing and yelling. I was surprised the teachers would allow them to behave that way, but they seemed to be making a good deal of noise themselves. Went to the Basket Ball game this evening. Tell you that was some game (that’s what one of the Juniors said). Don’t know much about it myself but our boys won. Guess I’ll stay in High School for a while—’tisn’t so bad after all. —Louise Rowley. A SHORT HISTORY OF PRAIRIE DU CHIEN The plain on which Prairie du Chien is situated was first seen by white men in the spring of 1659, when two French explorers, Radisson and Gorseilliers. came down the Wisconsin and explored the upper Mississippi. In October, 1662. Father Menard followed the same course in his mission among the Indians. Eleven years later, this region was again visited by two Frenchmen, Joliet and Marquette, while making their celebrated exploration of the Great bather of Waters. LaSalle established the first trading post here, in 1683, and three years later, Perrot built Fort St. Nicholas, but both fell into disuse during the Fox Indian Wars. The broad alluvial plain was a famous place of rendezvous for the Indians, and was named Prairie du Chien, or Prairie of the Dog, from LeChien (Dog) a Fox Indian chief, who made the prairie his summer camp. Not until 1726 did a white person come to make Prairie du Chien his home, but in that year, a French soldier, Card-inell, brought his wife and became a hunter and rude farmer on the nrairie. His wife survived him. and is said to have lived until 1827, being then one hundred and thirty years old, and having married twelve times after the death of her first husband. The settlement was slow to grow, and by 1755 there were only some half dozen families here, and eleven years later, when Jonathan Carver visited tr.e region, he found neither fort nor white settler. The English established a fort here in 1777, but the trader in charge surrendered the place to General Clark, American leader in tiie West. Prairie du Chien was an active center in the struggle for supremacy in the West. In 1871 the English Governor in Canada purchased the settlements of Green Bay and Prairie du Chien from the Indians, but when peace was made all the Northwest territory passed to the Americans. The first permanent settlement, and one from which land titles date, was made by three French Canadians, Giard, Ange. and Antaya in 1781. In 1804 the American Government built Fort Shelby on the island, and five years later, John Jacob Astor established a trading post here. During the war of 1812, Fort Shelby was taken by the English and changed to Fort McKay, but was returned after peace. Old Fort Crawford was erected in 1816 on the site of the English fort. 29 Prairie du Chien was then a shabby French settlement, of about eighty buildings, situated on the west side of the St. Maria de Ferrole, and consequently on an island the greater part of the year. Old Fort Crawford occupied the northern end of the town. The people were a mixed race, and traded extensively with the Indians. Tea sold for six dollars a pound; eggs were one dollar a dozen; calico was two dollars a yard; and anyone desiring to get married, paid the Justice of the Peace one hundred pounds of flour, and for a divorce, two hundred pounds. In 1817 a Sergeant taught the first school here, and when he left other non-commissioned officers filled the position, receiving fifteen cents a day besides their five dollars a month as a soldier. Several private schools were also established outside the fort; and were had in wealthy families for some time. As early as 1846, taxes were levied and money appropriated to establish a public school. In the fall of 1826, Fort Crawford was evacuated and the people were left to the mercy of the Red Bird and Black Hawk uprisings. Zachary Taylor took command at Prairie du Chien in 1829 and erected the now practically destroyed Fort Crawford. Since then, Prairie du Chien has grown step by step. A postoffice had been granted in 1824 with Judge Doty in charge. The first railroad to come to the Mississippi, came to Prairie du Chien, when Milwaukee and this place were connected in 1856. After that more immigrants came. A few years later the C., B. Q. built a railroad through here. A railroad bridge was thrown across the Mississippi. The Old Sanitarium was built and became the first in the world to use mineral water for baths. The Catholics established a college and an academy here. The white school house, now torn down, was built in 1875; in 1896 the red building was constructed, and this year, on the site of the white building, a modern high school is being erected. The New Sanitarium, receiving patients from all parts of the country, was built by business men of the town, as were the Woolen Mills and the Canning Factory. Thus has the second oldest town in Wisconsin grown to be of great importance in the state, and been made a chosen place of residence for many people. —Oscar O. Fritsche. SPRING When birds begin to trill and sing. And the sun shines warm outside. And brooklets gurgle and laugh with glee, And stumble, and slip, and slide, And call to the flowers along the way, “Come, come from your dark damp beds. Open your eyes, see the cheery blue skies. And lift up your modest heads,” Should you be quarrelsome, moody, and glum. And make all around you be sad? Or should you be merry, and happy, and gay, And have all your friends feel glad— Glad that they are alive this day And with you, dear Lassie and Lad ? —Myrtle M. Hintze. 30 GIRLS GLEE CLUB Alto Catherine Gillitzer Eleanor Ziel Florence Mulheim Beatrice Portratz Grace Paris Alma Titus Zalr.s Copper First Soprano Adela Boeckh Lottie Klima Lucy Lanka Lea Allen Helen Westervelt becona Soprano Esther Karnopp Ruth Wacliter Helen Martner Ellen Ward Eliese Boeckh Tenor Raymond Slamcr William Smith Jay D.

A new piano was purchased, Miss Reichel tested all the voices, and those who were eligible were made members of the glee clubs. Each club, Boys’ and Girls’, meets twice each week, the Boys’ Club Monday and Wednesday, the Girls’ Tuesday and Thursday. The ten minute period each, morning is still used for chorus work. New books have been procured, and part singing has been arranged for. Often during the ten minute period Miss Reichel uses the Victrola for listening lessons, with the purpose of developing, not artists, but appreciative listeners to artists. On December 21, a Japanese Operetta was given by the two clubs, under the direction of Miss Reichel and Miss Fuller, to help pay for the piano. Although the attendance was small, probably on account of the Christmas season, the audience was very appreciative and as a whole greatly enjoyed the program. THE LYCEUM The Lyceum this year has been headed by Wallace Bronson, President; Arthur Beuthin, Vice President; and Gladys Herold, Secretary and Treasurer. Thru the efforts of the Program Committee, consisting of James Sime, Zalus Copper, Beulah Peacock, Ellen Ward and Milton Gremore, assisted by the Music Committee made up of Ethel Swigle, Eliese Beockh, and Elmer Evert, we have enjoyed very interesting and varied programs. Tiic keynote of variety was struck in the second program of the year, when a short period of Parliamentary Drill was introduced, to the keen enjoyment of all present. A pantomime reading of “His Old Sweetheart’’, a Grieg Evening, consisting of stories of Isben and Grieg, and of “Peer Gynt”, with selections of the Peer Gynt music, the “February Issue of Nobody's Magazine”, and a Riley-Dunbar program given in costume, all proved very entertaining as well as instructive programs. 154 33 33 NAWADAHA t HAWIHO HELE XAMIMA COUNT OF CEREMONIAL MEETING We, the girls of Wawadaha, Met together one bright evening, At the home of our Awanda She the guardian of our Camp Fire. Met we there to hold a council. There to initiate a new member. She a small girl, but very anxious To become a loyal worker. First we held the Council Fire. Sat we all around the candle; Candles three, Work, Health, and Love. Then when all had been completed, The Nawadahas sang together, Sang as one the Wohela cheer, “Wohelo for aye, Wohelo for work, Wohelo for health, Wohelo for love.” Then Ehawee promised faithfully To abide by all the laws, Promised to be true and loyal To the group she became one of. To the girls who’d won new honors, Beads were given by the guardian. Some for Health Craft, Home Craft. Camp Craft, Some for Nature Lore, or Business. Then our guardian Awanda Talked to us of working higher, How to earn the silver bracelet Symbolic of the Firemaker. When the business all was over Each one put aside her cares. Joined in the fun of the evening, That of initiating our new member. How her knees began to tremble How her heart began to beat! When she found she must walk the tight rope. But she did it with persistence, She was also pleased in meeting Mrs. Fly and Papa Fly Baby Fly and Let Her Fly. Always eager to do any thing Suggested by the different members. Many feats she performed for us. Till at last we all decided She would be a willing worker, Never shirking when work called her. When the clock downstairs struck nine, Departed we all for our homes together. :ii ORATORICAL AND DECLAMATORY CONTEST Daniel Fagan J-Jiese Boeckh Helen Martner Oscar Fritsche Second Place First Place Second Place First Place PROGRAMME Piano Solo—Valse Arabesque..............

During the first half of this year it seemed that we would be unable to have a basketball team, because the Grand Opera Hall was being used by the seventh and eighth grades. But early in the winter they were moved to the County Court House and the hall was at the service of the High School. Mr. Kindley, our coach, at once called the boys out to practice and before many evenings had passed he had his team picked. Under stringent practice the boys became very skillful with the ball, and when they met Bloomington, they defeated that team which had won six successive games. This has been indeed a very successful year and we owe it to the careful coaching of Mr. Ivindiey. The team fas been loyal to Prairie High for they have held up our standard of never having been defeated by a High School team on our home floor in five years. The team was not sent to the Platteville tournament this year, for it was thought best to use the proceeds of this year’s games to buy a new basketball equipment for the new High School.

With another person or alone?” Wallace, promptly, “Oh with another person of course.” Miss Hughes: Jay, what was the underground railway? Jay: It was a railway they built in a trench so the confederates couldn’t fire on it. Soph: Have you a minute to spare? Fresh: Yes, what do you want? Soph: Tell me all you know. Mr. Kindley: Jay, how do you know when a thunder storm is over head? Jay: You can smell it. Mr. Kindley: Remarkable! Milton, how do you know? Milton G.: You can sense it. Mr. Kindley : Don’t be afraid when the lightning is away off on the horizon. The time 1 always get scared is when it is directly over head. Milton Otto (speaking to distinguished visitor) : There is a theory that man was descended from monkey and-------- Visitor: I believe it now. Miss Reichel, to school while singing “A Warrior Bold”: Hold on to “love” as long as you can. Raymond Kramer: Fine day for a tramp! Claude Sime : I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself. Mr. Kindley: Gladys, what direction is between south and west? Gladys : Oh, I don’t know. East, I guess. Miss Torrance (speaking of the Senior Class play) : I think “The 1 bread of Destiny would be too hard for amateurs because there are so many love scenes in it. Eleanore Z.: Oh, that wouldn’t be hard if we got practice enough. Steps in Intellectual Development: Freshmen : “I didn’t understand the question.” Sophomore: “What did you say?” Junior: “What?” Senior: “Huh” Little hunks of rubber, Little drops of ink, Make a punk report card Look just what it aint. Mr. Kindley, holding up sewing needle: “Now we take this knitting needle------” Susan D.: The cuckoo is a rare bird around here.

Raymond Kramer said he was going to begin a new area (era) when the second semester began. It appears that the Freshmen were exposed to English but only a fewr caught it. Only half of them flunked. No public institution of great importance has yet been built without the aid of the business man. We owe our highest appreciation to the business man for the High Schools that have been built in our own and other cities. No community has yet become prosperous without a High School, and no High School has become very generally known without a High School Annual published every year by one of the classes. This work could not be made possible, however, without the aid and co-operation of the business men, the advertisers. We wish to thank the advertisers for their co-operation this year. The publication of an Annual is a difficult task, and especially in these trying times, and could not be done without your aid. And to our readers we would say, “Patronize our Advertisers.” They are doing their part, do yours and show your appreciation of what they have done. Do not merely glance at these advertisements, but read them carefully, and patronize all those who have so willingly and generously contributed to the publication of this work. CLASS OF 1918.
