The Class of “Twenty” found conditions unfavorable for the publication of the Annual last year. For that reason the editing class has thought it wise to include in this book the graduating class of 1919 so that the record of the High School graduates might be complete and to combine the two years in other respects. This book has meant a great amount of labor, but through the co-operation of the students and the untiring aid of our advisor, we have a book which we hope will meet the expectations ot everyone.

There’s a bright and winsome bonny lass Among this distinguished Senior class. From Eastman she came And Allen’s her name Now, down through the years to fame she’ll pass. There’s a girl named Ethel in our school Who lives right up to the Golden Rule, She’s not very tall But she’s a friend to all And we’re sorry that she is now through school. A Senior there is and Weighner’s her name Theres a smile on her face, for all is the same; She sits in row one Is just heaps of fun And we’re all very fond of this likable dame. Among our Seniors there’re two named Ruth About whom might be said very much, forsooth, They are both shining stars, Probably seen way on Mars, These two brilliant Seniors by the name of Ruth. And then there’s Agnes who’s a jolly good fellow With a voice that is meek and peculiarly mellow Of mischief she’s full And marks she does “pull Nine Rahs! For this happy and jolly, good fellow. There is a young lady named Kramer, For her marks there’s no one could blame her, For she always is steady With work always ready, And her shy, quiet manner becomes her. Our Helen was always a favorite of High And when she’s mentioned we hear Hank sigh: “She’s sure some girl I’d call her a pearl, When Helen’s a nurse to fame she will fly. We all know that Lea and Ina are tall, But that is certainly no fault at all, For in reaching the top, They won’t ever stop, In life’s journey they certainly never will fall. (Continued to On the other hand Leone and Nona are small, And neither in her studies does fall, Both good books have read, And that’s quite ’nuff said And renown to them someday will call. O’ shy little maidenly “Viv , At the top of Fort Hill she does live, Her manners are mild, About her painting we’re wild, Fame will greet this Senior called “Viv . There is a young fellow called “Buds Who washes his face in soap-suds, He has curly hair, His complexion is fail, And he wears the “niftiest duds. Our Senior Irene is tres, tres, tall, But that really makes no difference at all She has a smile on her face And her marks are first rate, And she’s ready to help when you call. “A semi-circle we all say When Hannah comes our way But if she is fat, What difference makes that? For we all like this Senior who is gay. Our Mildred from Eastman did “hail And through our High School did “sail , She’s not large or small And she’s a friend to all And in life’s journey we’re sure she’ll not fail. And now for the Senior named Baumer, In history she sure is a “hummer , She studies all day Yet she finds time to play And we’re sorry to lose her this summer. And then there’s a lady called Andy Who has “come in very handy, And since she came ’Tis not quite the same, At driving a car, she’s a dandy. When it comes to a fashion plate rare Then Hank Vanek is certainly there— He has clothes galore, Nor did we realize before, That Hank’s presence is sought everywhere. A bright little maid is she A smile on her face we see, She studies all day, It’s just Esther’s way, A success she will surely be. In her studies Grace never did tarry, And of mischief she never was wary, To her music you’d hark, For she could sing like a lark, This “Strawberry Blonde of old Prairie.

Re-united our Union and kept it alive; And in “ninety-eight” it again showed its light, When Spain tried to conquer and overthrow right. Once more this same spirit rose up on high, When Autocracy demanded that Liberty die. Autocracy lost, and Democracy won, Thank God for the good this spirit has done. CARROLL RAY ’22.

I am so glad you dropped in! I was so anxious to see you, first,—concerning your good fortune in receiving the appointment as head cartoonist of the Chicago Herald-Examiner. I am so glad to thinly we had such a brilliant classmate as you. And just think, Dear; I only now received a letter from our old schoolmate, Lavane Green. You know there was a class re-union last week and you and myself were the only absentees. Of course, I would have enjoyed going but it was entirely out of the question, for I had to keep my engagement with my Concert Company at Orchestra Hall.” “Yes, Elsie, I wanted to go myself, but just at that time I was working for my appointment on the paper, so of course I couldn't go, but do hurry and tell me what Lavane is doing.” “Oh, you know she always was so clever in Commercial Law when we were Juniors in High. Well, she went to the University and got her degree, and now is practicing in Prairie. She's had great success. I'll read you the part of the letter relating to our famous class of twenty-one.” ‘As you have not been home for so long, I must tell you about all of our old schoolmates. You remember Ada Tichenor and Dorothy Stearns, the two inseparable pals? Well, they are both teaching shorthand. Ada is in Platteville and Dorothy is in Richland Center. Of course, they aren't so terribly far apart, so they can go and visit each other often. ‘I know you have heard of Florence Craig's success in painting. She gave the High School a most remarkable painting of Fort Crawford. She was offered twelve thousand dollars for it, but she loved her old High School days so well that she presented it as a gift to the School, requesting that it be hung in the middle front of the Assembly Room. ‘Herbert Dahmer came all the way from New York to attend the banquet. You know one of the girls told me he owns about ten percent of the barber shops in New York. I knew that Herbert would make a name for himself. Clyde Lawler and his wife came on the same train to visit Mrs. Lawler's parents. You know Clyde is a very wealthy banker in Chicago. ‘I suppose you know Fred Silberschmidt has succeeded his father in business. They say he makes an excellent business man. He is also President of the Business Men's Club. I was really pleased to think that Clement Lindner received the appointment as Principal of the High School. He has made a heap of new improvements. For one thing he has installed Student Government. ‘Myrtle Koeche and Florence Plondke are both married and live at Bagley and are very happy. Gladys Poulda is Chief Operator of the Union Telephone Company in our town. Wasnt she the ambitious girl, though! ‘No doubt you hear from Hazel Stuart, but in case that you haven't I must tell you about her. She has recently graduated from a prominent Music Conservatory in Milwaukee and is now with the Frederick Stock Symphony. ‘Frances Hubbert recently purchased a large ranch in Montana and raises thousands of sheep yearly. Irma Turner is also in the West, I think in Denver, Colorado, where she is head stenographer in some large mining company. ‘Charlotte Cox played several harp selections and also sang for us at the banquet. She wore sky-blue pink with flowing sleeves and train twelve yards long. ‘You asked me in a letter whether I had heard anything recently concerning Russell Kieser. Well, he was at the banquet and I chatted with him for a few minutes. He has been in tennis and various out-door sports and is known as the champion athlete of the Middle West. He and his wife do not live in the fourth ward but they have a hnppv home in Minneapolis, I understand. ‘Carol Budworth teaches Domestic Science in High School and she is very much liked by all of the students. Charles Bily is our mayor and has made a new town of Prairie du Chien. His old chum, Lawrence Lechnir, owns a large department store here. ‘Everyone was so disappointed to think that you and Aileen were absent, but we do hope that you will be present at our next re-union.’ ” “Oh, dear, it is four thirty and I have a cartoon to get in the evening paper. Do run over and see me when you have time. Good-bye!” “Good-bye!” ELSIE STEINBERG, '21 P a o H S IIIIIIMIIIMIMIIIIIIIIIIIIMIMPiW Page Twenty-three n HIGH SCHOOL COURSE OF STUDY FIRST YEAR Required Units First Semester Second Semester English English Elementary Science Citizenship Elective Units Algebra Algebra Latin Latin Manual Training Manual Training Domestic Science Domestic Science Music Music Physical Training Hygiene Physical Training Hygiene SECOND YEAR Required Units English English General History General History Elective Units Commercial Arithmetic Bookkeeping II Latin Latin Science Physiology Manual Training Mechanical Drawing Manual Training Mechanical Drawing Domestic Science Music Domestic Science Music Physical Training Hygiene Physical Training THIRD YEAR Required Units History American History Civics Elective Units English English Geometry Geometry Latin Latin French French Bookkeeping III Commercial Law Stenography Typewriting Stenography Typewriting Music Music Physical Training Physical Training FOURTH YEAR Required Units American History Civics Social Studies Elective Units Physics Physics English English Latin Latin French French Advanced Algebra Geometry or Reviews Manual Arts or Domestic Arts Manual Arts or Domestic Arts Stenography Typewriting Stenography Typewriting Music Music Physical Training Physical Training NOTES Sixteen units will be required as the minimum for graduation.

We’re a very smart bunch And we’ve got a hunch That without us the school wouldn’t be. Our talents are many, though not always shown, In channels quite different they run, Vocalists there’s a plenty, Actors, dancers, a great many, And for others our trials make fun. We have two comedians, great favorites are they, And always they get great applause, None can bring tears Though all can bring cheers, When they bring down the house, there’s a cause. The Juniors and Seniors, they say we’re too fresh; They know not our talents we fear, They slam us most awful In ways quite unlawful But, undaunted, we turn a deaf ear. We know that great futures await every member, No one our achievements surpass, We do hate to boast But we all think the most, Of the Sophomores’ talented class.

The Seniors and Sophomores formed the Alpha Society and the Juniors and Freshmen formed the Beta Society. The meetings of the two societies were held alternately every two weeks during the year. An effort was made by the program committees of both organizations to have every pupil in High School appear at least once on the program. Throughout the year there was evident much competition between the two societies as to which could give the best programs. This competition inspired the students to do their very best work and splendid programs were rendered ts a result. Large audiences of parents and friends attended and much profitable literary work was done. Following are the officers of the respective societies: President______ Vice-President Secretary ____ Alpha Society _______________________Grace Paris ______________________Henry Vanek ___________________Helen McCloskey Clement Lindner __ Charlotte Cox __Russel Kieser Beta Society President____________________________ Vice-President_______________________ Secretary ___________________________ Page Twenty-nine IIIHillHIIlIUlllUUlllllllllllillUIIIIIIflIllllllflUllIlIllIllllllUHIillJIlUIIJIIIIilillHIIIIIHIliUllliilllllllllllllllllllllHIIIliiJIi'llllililltllliii! liillllltlllillUllilIHlik !? d c i ORATORICAL AND DECLAMATORY CONTESTS On Saturday evening April 21, 1920, the local Oratorical and Declamatory Contest was held in the High School Auditorium. Seven girls and three boys entered the contest and each did his part so well that it was very difficult for the judges to make a decision. In other years there has always been a special trainer, but this year the teachers in the different departments carried on the training of the students. THE PROGRAM Music—H. S.

In the Oratorical Contest Clement Lindner received first place. Of these Clement Lindner, Agnes Weeks and Florence Craig, accompanied by Miss Fox, Miss Severson, and a number of the students went to Lone Rock to take part in the League contest, April 30. Four schools were represented in this district. Prairie may justly be proud of the record made by her representatives. In the declamatory contest Agnes Weeks again received first place and Florence Craig third. Second place in the oratorical contest was given to Clement Lindner. Of the six honors given by the judges, Prairie received three. CAROL BUDWORTH, ’21 SHORTHAND AND TYPEWRITING CONTEST Four students this year entered the Shorthand and Typewriting Contest held on May 1st at Platteville. Norma Allen won first place, and Ruth Cornford second, in the Shorthand Contest. Irene Vanderdrink and Lloyd Anderson practically tied for third place in the Typewriting Contest, Irene averaging one-tenth more. Norma Allen represents Prairie du Chien in the State Contest on May 15th at Whitewater. Page Thirty “A BIT OF SATIRE” Why has our High School taken a slump in debating? In the early part of the school year a debating society was formed with the intention of competing with neighboring schools in a Debating League. The subject for discussion was “Resolved, That the Open Shop be Maintained in Industry.” Valuable aid was secured from the State through bulletins containing material for and against Open Shops. Debaters were selected for both the negative and affirmative sides and the work began. Preliminary talks on Trade Unions were given by those who had planned to enter the debate and at one time considerable enthusiasm was manifest. During our preparation, however, a letter was received from a contesting school offering only a poor excuse for failing to co-operate with us in our plan. This somehow dampened our enthusiasm. Without co-operation we could never have made a success. A lack of interest followed, and the question was dropped. Throughout the school year excellent results have been achieved in athletics and literary work. We have been strongly represented through our basket-ball team, and literary work has been carried out through Lyceum organizations ar.d declamatory contests. Such achievements resulted only from a hearty co-operation on the part of both students and teachers in addition to financial aid of the loyal citizens of our city. No doubt, had opportunity permitted, our school would have taken a lead in debating as it has in previous years. We hope that next year there will be the opportunity for good work in debating. There is no reason why we should overlook that kind of work from which we may derive so much profit. —CLYDE LAWLER ’21 P € cT_L s SCHOOL RED CROSS ACTIVITY In activities of a patriotic nature the High School has not been backward. For two years our school has been one hundred percent in Red Cross Membership, not alone in the High School, but also in the grades. A French orphan was maintained one year by voluntary contributions of the students in High School, and $34.12 was given for the relief of suffering Armenia. The grades collectively gave a sum of $44.00 for like purposes. Many hospital garments were made by the students in the Domestic Art Classes. Aside from the work done in school, a large number of students worked in the Surgical Dressings Department of the Crawford County Chapter of the American Red Cross. Some helped also in the Christmas drive for membership, in the sale of Christmas seals and War Savings Stamps. The boys as Boy Scouts did an important work distributing Red Cross reading matter, in tabulating statistics, by running errands and in selling Liberty Bonds. —CAROL BUDWORTH ’21 I Page Thirty-one IIIIH HWIIIIIIIHIIIlIhlM liniliMHIlM THIIIIIII1UIIUIIIHIIIIM THE PASSING OF THE INDIAN” There's all the wildness of nature Concealed in this beautiful place, Where the waters run so freely With all their lovely grace. Do the waters not miss the Indian Who was on them day and night? Did not the White Man come And take the Indian’s right? The Indian taught the White Man To eat the bread of corn; But the White Man thanked the Indian By using the powder horn. The stillness of nature is broken Parts of Fort Crawford still stand. But the Indian has gone forever, To his Happy Hunting Land. —VIVIEN GLENN ’20 I 111 'll !' - !'l. '!

Was there ever a more nature-loving race than the Indian? The Red Man had nature for his symbol and the elements ui nature were his Gods. When speaking of the Indians it is best to mention the women iirsc, for 11 not the most important, tney were the most useful, as customs will show. When the Indian lodge was moved, it was the women who carried on their backs all the movable articles, while the men would walk behind, carrying only bows, ar.d arrows. li there was a pony, the man would ride it, leaving his wife and children to walk. The women had a certain amount of work to do, such as making mats and taking care of the children, carrying game and cutting up trees. The Indian would never fell a tree, hut use its branches. Wnen the wigwams were maae, they were fitted up with a platform encircling them, upon which they would sit by day and sleep by night. The Indians were fond of story telling. A good story teller was an important personage and was followed from wigwam to wigwam. When an Indian died, he was said to have gone to his Happy Hunting Land. When the different tribes disposed of their dead, they would place treasured articles at their sides. If the deceased were a man, his gun, pipe, war club, trap, flint, wampum, ornaments, some food and a kettle; if a woman, a little food, a kettle and a few ornaments; if a child, food alone was placed by it. A fire was kindled near the grave and was kept up for four days. On the fourth day, the deceased was to have reached his Spirit Land. The mourners blackened their faces. Besides blackening their faces, the women would go in tatters, keeping up a constant wailing and sobbing. A youth was not considered a man until he had undergone a certain ordeal, as in the medieval days. When a young man became twenty years of age, he would have to go upon the highest rock or mountain and fast for ten days, that is, until he had his dream. It was an ill fate to dream of snakes, and if he did so, he would have his tongue scraped several times with a chip. This was to cleanse it before he swallowed his food. He would go again to his fasting place and dream. If the next time he had a pleasant dream, he would go home where he was carefully nursed and only small portions of food at a time given him for fear he might die of over-eating. When a youth fell in love with a maiden, he would show it by placing himself a little way from the wigwam. The lover would wear a blue leggin and a red one. Not only would he do this, but he would also play upon his flute, “pib-pi-gwan.” The air was always played in a minor strain and never lively. If he continued to play his flute and there were no objections, he could address his lady. The young man was received at the wigwam by the father only. He would place himself by the door next to the daughter, as the eldest son and daughter always sat near the door, one on each side of it. The father and mother would sit in the back of the wigwam and the fire was placed in the center. The young Indian would then produce some pine sticks, light one in the fire and hand it to the maiden. If she took it, he was accepted; if she did not, she would let it burn until it had gone out. Different tribes of Indians had different matrimonial ceremonies. When a young man married his parents would bring valuable presents, such as furs and other things prized by the Indians. The parents of the bride would bring all kinds of ornamental work, made by themselves. These presents were then distributed among the friends. Page Thirty-three llllltHlIllinillllllllUillililllBillilllUllllliiifllfllllllllllllllllUililfinRfflllllll piiiihiiiiimiiiikiiii...wihimm......miiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ................................mum...... The bride was dressed by her sister-in-law, and then was conducted to the wigwam, to await the coming of her husband. The number of wives a man could have depended on his success as a hunter. He might have as many wives as would be required to dress his game and carry it home. The small game he killed he would hang on his belt; the other game was leit for nis wife to carry home. “The Coining of the White Man” In the seventeenth century Louis Joliet, an ambitious young Canadian, was commissioned by tne government to seek 'The Great Water that lay to the West.” Traveling from Queuec, i ouis Joliet reached Mackinaw. At this place he met Father Marquette, who was an educated missionary priest. The two energetic men, with live (companions text Mackinaw on the thirteenth uay 01 J ne, ltiii . They coasted along the Western snuie ox LaKe Michigan to Green uuy. They entered the Fox River and descended to Portage, where, being directed by Indian guides, they transferred their canoes and provisions to the Wisconsin River and descended the stream. On the seventeenth day oi June, they reached the Great Father of Waters, “Missi,” great, and “Sepe,” nver. At the mouth of the Wisconsin River they noticed a beautiful fertile Prairie lying North of them. Much impressed by their surroundings, they encamped on the prairie ior a short duration of time, then continued their journey on down the Mississippi River. One Hundred and eight years after the expedition of Marquette and Joliet, or in the year 1781, the first white settlement was made at Prairie du Chien. The Indians sold I a piece of land nine miles square to Governor Sinclair for Basil Giard, Pierre Antaya and Augustin Ange. Tnese men were to establish their homes in this wilderness, where each man would be his own Napoleon. These Frenchmen were not alone when they reached the prairie. They found a very large Indian settlement here, principally made up of Fox Indians. The Des Chiens were a prominent Indian family, the Chief’s name being Chien (Dog). This was the I origin of Prairie du Chien’s name. I These three men had for their interpreter Pierre LaPointe, who was an excel- lent interpreter, and rendered much service to the early settlers. Antaya was known to be a farmer. His wife was a Fox Indian, and raised a large family, mostly girls. Antaya died in 1815. We know that Augustin Ange came West as a voyager, then later became a trader. He attended the Indian Peace Treaty in 1825. He, however, did not make the Prairie his home, but soon left for Missouri. There is but little record of Basil Giard. He had a Spanish claim of three square miles where McGregor is now situated. He took no active part in politics. He died at Prairie du Chien in the year 1819. It may be stated that these three men were not the original settlers of Prairie du Chien. Mr. Brisbois has mentioned an interesting tradition about the first settlers, who (located at Prairie du Chien about the middle of the eighteenth century. He said that Jean Marie Cardinal, with his wife and an Omaha Indian slave named Nicholas Colas, arrived and settled about a mile and a half above the present Court House on what is known as the Middle Village. When arriving here, it is said that they found many buffaloes roaming the prairie. Mr. Brisbois has also stated that an old French Fort was established here in 1755. This fort was located in what is now Lower Town of Prairie du Chien, and was merely a depot for the furs and pelts of the Canadians. It may be of interest to know something of the fur traders who came to Prairie du Chien in the early days. All the traders had families and most of them Indian wives. Michael Brisbois, who came here in 1782, is said to have done as the Romans did, for he married a fair Winnebago maiden in 1785. He had three children, one of whom was Michael Brisbois, iuiiiininiHiiMiiiiiMiiiiiniiiiiM Page Thirty-four Illllllll! Jr. In 1796 Mr. Brisbois married again, and this time he married a French girl whose name was Domitelle Gautier de Verville. By this marriage there were seven children. In the family there was a beautiful girl named Fisher, whose parents were early settlers at Prairie du Chien. Mr. Brisbois adopted the little girl when her parents died, but he did not have her long, as Joseph Rolette, whom we know as a wealthy young trader at Prairie du Chien, married this little girl when she was only twelve years of age. Then ne educated her. The marriage of the trader with the squaws lasted only lor a single season and when they came to Prairie du Chien the next time, they would ask lor a different wile. The people 01 Prairie du Cnien depended on the trader lor supplies from Mack, inaw. In 1818 there was a crude Grist Mill ouiit in Fisher's Coulee, lour miles above Fraine du Chien, which was a great convenience to the people, but was too much expense to the owner, so it was soon abandoned. The Indian helped tne vnue Man by bringing him supplies, and very often the White Man would cneac tne Indian. Though Mr. Koiette once said, wnen talking to a lady, Let me ten you, Madame, it is not so easy a thing to cneat the Indian, as you imagine. 1 have tried it these twenty years and nave never succeeded.” Prairie du Chien was considered to be a very important mart in uie eany days, as it was neutral territory lor the Indian. Members oi hostile parties never narmed each other u tney met on the prairie, though the White Man and Indian were not always on mendly terms. The White Man protected himself from the Indian by building forts. The first iort built for protection was known as Fort Shelby, alter the governor of Kentucky, and was built in 1813. The Americans held the iort only until 1814. In that year the British Union Jack waved freely over Fort Sheiby, when the fort was renamed Fort McKay, after tne British commander. Nine months alter the capture oi the fort by the British, Fort McKay was destroyed by fire. In 1816 troops were sent from St. Louis under the command of Col. Hamilton to commence work on the iort to be known as Fore Crawford, after the man who was then Secretary of the Treasury. In 1826 the old fort was abandoned on account of unsanitary conditions. The new Fort Crawford was constructed under the command of Colonel Morgan. This post was designed to drive out the British. Tne men whom the government placed in charge were unable to compete with the British agents wnose goods were far cheaper and superior to those of the Americans. The trading post proved unprofitable, and it was soon decided that the iur trade be left to private individuals. Through the influence of John Jacob Astor, the government was persuaded to pass an act excluding all loreigners that participated in Iur-trading. In the year 1826 Colonel bousman was dispatched to Prairie du Chien as a confidential agent of the American Fur Company, then under the control of John Jacob Astor. He and Rolette became partners and to them the fur-trading proved to be a very profitable occupation, and both derived considerable wealth from it. For many years the Agents of the American Fur Company practically controlled the barter in furs in the country between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River. The outfit at Prairie du Chien was valued at twenty-five hundred dollars. It is of some interest to know what an important part the Indian played in furtrading. They helped the White Man in many ways. When they indulged in this occupation, they would paint themselves in the gaudiest colors, the bucks using red, yellow and green to decorate their faces, while the squaws used vermilion and painted a spot on each cheek and a streak down the middle of their hair, where it was parted. The Indians used both the dugouts and the birch bark canoes. They brought with them not only furs, but many supplies that would suit the White Man’s fancy. They would rest at Prairie du Chien for several weeks. While at this place they would have a glorious time, feasting and dancing. They thoroughly enjoyed the civilized life. Prairie du Chien was known for its hospitality, the people always enjoying themselves in a happy care-free manner. They would gather at the different homes to ? W | c J H frJ £9 Page Thirty-five Hm HMMHHMMH • 3 = 1 have their festivities, and the young folks would dance and play pames, uhile the older ones indulged in card playing and “swapping” yarns. The people were always accommodating and were always ready to do a favor for any one in need. An important personage of Prairie du Chien was Mrs. Menard, (Aunt Mary Ann). She thoroughly knew the study of herbs and was both doctor and nurse of the Village. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to any one who needed her assistance. Even after the surgeons were installed at the Port, Aunt Mary Ann continued to render service to the people of her community. We might speak of Aunt Mary Ann as being a Florence Nightingale, while Willard Keyes was the first Socrates of Prairie du Chien. The first school was started by Mr. Keyes, May 25th, 1818. The school term was limited to three months, and as the “maitre” was receiving only two dollars a month, he had to leave this place to seek higher wages elsewhere. The early life in Prairie du Chien was varied and romantic and affords an interesting study to the student of history.

Treas.______Ruth Wachter Librarian__________Francis Long Good, earnest, hard work—and the outcome—“Success.” The Girl’s Glee Club has indeed been very successful this year, undertaking songs that sometimes seemed beyond its ability, but always mastering them through good, earnest work. The girls have appeared on all Lyceum programs and sang with great success at the Declamatory and Oratorical Contests. Among some of the selections the Club rendered during the year are: “Dance of the Pine Tree Fairies,” by R. R. Forman; “The Miller's Wooing” 1 y Max Snicker; “A Summer Love Song”, and “Mammy’s Lullaby”. —Carlotte Cox ’21 During the last three or four years a Boy’s Glee Club has not been a very active feature in the High School activities. This year, however, there were many good voices among the boys and a Glee Club was eagerly organized. The first tenors are (Late) Leighton Tichenor, noted comedian, and (Russ) Russell Kieser, far-famed tennis player. The second tenors are Carl Schroeder, wireless telegrapher; (Happy) Clyde Lawler, Lynxville’s star baseball player. The first basses are Gordon Kieser, Dawald Craig, and Fred Bittner, Freshmen. The second basses are Clarence Foley, (alias, Johnny Fitzgibbons, pugilist;) (Capt. Duff) Robert Schwei-ger; and (Skidoo) Carol Ray, partner of Tichenor, Comedian. The organization has certainly been a great success and it was not an uncommon occurrence for the boys to be encored four and five times, the ukelele lending a most pleasant effect to the encores. The boys were always willing and ready to render their services when called upon to do so, and deserve much praise. —Fred Bittner ’23 C 3 SEXTETTE Charlotte Cox________1st Soprano Leona Pyre-----------1st Soprano Vernie Copper______2nd Soprano Ruth Wachter_________2nd Soprano Elsie Steinberg____________Alto Norma Lengst_______________Alto The Sextette has for the past few years been a favorite musical organization in the High School. The selections rendered have been carefully chosen and much hard work has been put on them. Last year at Commencement Exercises the Sextette sang “A Day in Venice,” and it proved a great success. Nevertheless, we believe that this year “Three Springs,” which will be given at Commencement Exercises, will be superior to last year’s number. Four members of the Sextette have had special vocal training and this is one reason we may expect so much of the Sextette. Among the selections which have been given throughout the year are: “What the Chimney Sang” and “Mammy’s Lullaby”. —Charlotte Cox ’21 ORCHESTRA “Music while you work,”— seems to be the motto of all of the large workshops of today, nor did we overlook this grand motto in our High School. Every Friday morning the students in the assembly room have been entertained by several striking overtures as well as real “Jazz.” The orchestra meets on Friday for practice and under the direction of Miss Fox, bursts forth in harmonious discord. Most of the students appreciated the grand noise, bi some of the more severe critics, we are told, “snickered” at our attempts to harmonize, but we have continued our regular rehearsals in spite of the “jeering” and remarks from the “lovers of good music.” We have played at our best and although we may have hit several “blue notes” we have gained the applause of the large audiences at Lyceums, and next year we hope to supply the school with some first class music. —Leighton Tichenor ’22 Page Thirty-seven IIIIIUIUIIimi!lll(!H«llliU i riiiiiiimriiiiiiiniiiiiiiiimiinp'dii!!

One day, Miss Fox noticed him singing among the basses. Asking why he was there, she received this reply: “Well, you see the bass sounded pretty weak to me so I thought I’d come over and help them out.” Naturally the Glee Club laughed. Later Miss Fox said: “Bass, you seem weak.” Johnny: “Well, they depend so much on me now, that they don’t sing, and, of course, my voice has been accustomed to tenor for the long period of three weeks and it’s hard for me to drown them out.” Naturally the Glee Club laughed. “Yes, boys, you get one-fourth credit every year you take music.” “Miss Fox,” called out Johnny, “don’t you think with my voice and talent I ought to get two credits?” Naturally the Glee Club laughed.

H. SCHUBERT Coach The success of the basket-ball team this year is largely dje to Mr. Schubert. He worked untiringly in putting out a first class team, of which “Old Prairie High” could well be proud. Mr. Schubert did the work of training these men in addition to his Manual Training Work, but neither were neglected. We all sincerely hope that Mr. Schubert will be with us next year as he has given athletics a great boost. R. ROBINSON Business Manager Mr. Robinson was Mr. Schubert's co-operator in the athletic interests of the year. Through his cheerful ways he won the friendship and admiration of the boys. Mr. Robinson managed the financial end of the organization in coaching the team. We are very sorry to have had Mr. Robinson with us but half the school year, as his interest displayed in all activities was very much appreciated. Page Forty-two HENRY WACHTER Center and Captain A pause, then a thrill; next a shout. Henry pushed the score two more points. No one wonders over that as it is a steady, clear-headed fellow who is handling the ball. His heart is set on bringing another laurel to the “Maroon and Gold.” Prairie High can boast of a real athlete, and a man who was chosen as the “all star center and captain of the Platteville Tournament.” Can a boy in High School wish for more words of praise, when such homage is paid to him? During his four years in athletics, Henry has made an excellent record and our only regret is that he will leave us in June. ROBERT SCHWEIGER Right Forward and Captain-elect When Robert was enrolled in our High another star was added to the Athletic Field. “Bobby” showed himself as a “star” and is a fellow who can be depended upon in all games. Although he is small in size he isn’t very small when he is being guarded. His passes are unexcelled, and he po— sesses a steady eye when shooting baskets. We are fortunate in having “Bobby” with us two more years, and feel sure that he will add more praises to his playing. uimiiiiiihiiiiiiiu Page Forty-three iiMHiiim llllltllllillM € 3 LLOYD ANDERSON Left Forward Basketball fans will miss “Andy's” playing: very much in the years to come. He was always in the game, heart and soul, fighting his best and keeping a steady grip on his play. Four years he fought for Prairie High and in return we pay him the compliment, “One of Prairie’s best.” RUSSELL K1ESER Left Forward At the first game of the season played with Cassville, Russell made his first appearance as a regular on the first team. He made a hit with the audience as a “fast” player. During all the games of the season he played what is called, “the pivot”. Everyone is pleased to know that Russell still has another year with us. lUHiniHlillMIHliyillilMlUiiiltMIIIII'iiilllllM Page Forty-four klMlillllinm . lilii i! !niiiinniniiHimiiiMminiKiminmg!miuPMiMmiiiDaBwmB.inHH!;;iiiiimr‘.tiiih: u li.-RHHIHIIIMIIIIfi i'llllwnH'-W- inn •'! HENRY VANEK Right Guard At the first mass meeting this year students took Henry for granted, but at the game the following evening he made his “debut”. After that Henry was looked up to as possessing the qualities of an athlete, beir.g steady, clear-headed and alert. Very few passes got by Henry without a good hard fight and we feel that he added greatly to the physical make-up of our team. F d CLEMENT LINDNER Left Guard This is “Bud’s” first year as a regular of the team. In previous years he played as “sub”. When in training “Bud” was a good steady worker and proved himself a capable man on the floor. As left guard he made his opponents feel his presence and we consider ourselves fortunate in having him with us another year. niiimiiiii«niMnininnwiiMMwiiiwiiii� miiniiwBiiiiiiinMmHMiMiiiiiiiiiiiiniii«iinHmmiiiniimnimwnnminnHmniiMMnir;iiiiiiiii8iBiimniiii;BBiiBniiitiiH[iiiiiii!iiiiiiiii� iiiii[i[ lIMIMIlipu I mam mmmmmm IDIIHm HMni I IllHl i mill limiMMimi r mm- MM lill.MM ' CARL SCHROEDER Left Forward Although this was Carl's first year on the team, he has established a good record. He has shown his ability in team work and also basket-shooting. A great deal will be expected from Carl in the next two years but we are sure he will always meet with the expectations of the public. Although he is not just the average built man, this deficiency is well made up in his speed and alertness. RAYMOND SCHULTZ Right Guard This was “Sam's first year on the regulars, playing “sub in previous years. “Sam won the admiration of the students because of his cheerful, steady ways both in school and on the floor. He was always on the look out for some point which could be remedied and add to the betterment of Athletics. We hope that some day “Sam will play on a college team, and if he does we feel assured of his success.

I I IHIIDillllHI v BASKET BALL SEASON IN SHORT I The basket ball season began early this year and the first night about thirty men were out to try for the team. The first game with Cassville proved to be an easy game for the boys, the score being 60-15. The second game, with Fennimore, was very rough and undecided. It was hard to tell whose game it was until the very end, Fennimore finally winning 12-10. The La Crosse games, both at La Crosse and at Prairie, were hard-fought and “fast” ones. La Crosse defeated Prairie in both. The McGregor and Viola games, on the other hand, were not very “fast” games, Prairie defeating McGregor 28-9, and Viola 34-9. With stringent practice and with the help of the second team the boys became skilled with the ball, and playing Richland Center on their home floor, defeated them 13-10. This team had not been defeated on its home floor by Prairie for ten consecutive years. The boys decided they would rename that city, so called it “Relig ous Center ’ for reasons unknown. A great celebration was held after the boys returned. On February the 20th the boys travelled on the “Narrow Guage” to play the Fennimore “Saints” but were defeated, due to disadvantages of the floor. Richland Center defeated the boys here by a very “fast” and close game and which team would win remained an enigma until the very end. Later, learning that Richland Center had been playing with three ineligible men, the game was not included in the regular schedule. On Thursday morning March 4th, the team with the two coaches and a number of “tooters” boarded the train for the Platteville Tournament. The “Narrow Guage”, backing up the track and then down again to get up steam, brought us several hours later into Fennimore. We changed cars for Platteville and after being on the train for an hour, we were taken back to Fennimore on account of a train snowbound ahead of us. After we stayed in Fennimore all night, we started for Platteville the next morning about nine o’clock, arriving at one o’clock Friday noon. About two hours after we arrived, we were told that we were scheduled to play Fennimore for our first game. We defeated them 12-10, which event broke their series of eleven undefeated games. At eight o’clock the same evening we were to play our second game with Platteville. There was a double game on that night—Platteville with Prairie and Monroe with Mt. Horeb. Monroe and Mt. Horeb played their first half and while resting Prairie and Platteville played their first half. The score of 6-6 concluded our first half. The game was “fast” and hard-fought, Platteville coming out victorious 16-14, Prairie leading in the game 14-10 until the last minute of play. This game was said by the “rooters” to be the best game of the tournament. The team was asked to play a third game that same evening, but refused to do so. They started from Platteville Saturday morning, arriving home Saturday afternoon, but not with a defeated spirit. The season closed very successfully. The team won five games and lost five games of the season. Two things were accomplished by the team during the year, viz., it defeated Richland Center on their home floor, the first time Prairie had done so for ten consecutive years; and the record of Fennimore’s eleven undefeated games was broken by them at Platteville. The boys wish to take this opportunity to thank the friends and citizens of Prairie du Chien for their support of the games that were played throughout the year’s basket-ball season, and especially to thank the business men of the city for their liberal donations which made possible the team’s entrance into the district tournament. 1 P iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiii Page Forty-seven DOMESTIC SCIENCE DEPARTMENT The Domestic Science Laboratory is located on the first floor and in connection is a dining room and a large pantry and supply room. The Laboratory is equipped with tables, cupboards, sinks, and ice chest. Each work-table is equipped with a two-burner oil stove, dishes, and cooking utensils. Two girls work at each table, although they cook individually. The work is definitely planned and carried on in a systematic way. Regular text-books are used in connection with the cooking of foods. First, the lesson assigned in the text book is recited and then the girls get out the supplies that are to be used that day and go to work. Two girls are appointed to be house-keepers for a certain period of time. They wash milk bottles and supply tins and at the end of the class period they wash out the lavatories, etc. Likewise, two girls are appointed sweepers. They see that the floor is kept free from crumbs and that the towels are cared for. Miss Leona Garrow, graduate of the Home Economics Course at the University of Wisconsin, has charge of the Department. � Nil!!' lil'l.l WlinH'i! u.....nl 1.1 Mil lll'l l!,i i ;;!( Page Forty-eight DOMESTIC ART DEPARTMENT The Domestic Art Department is on the first floor directly opposite the Science Laboratory. This room is equipped with four sewing machines, five large sewing tables, chairs, pressing outfit, and cupboards in which sewing material is kept. Following is a brief plan of the work: The seventh and eighth grades learn all the different seams and stitches. Besides, they leam to mend and to darn, and make towels and cases for silver, etc. The freshmen make towels, aprons, petticoats, and all plain undergarments. The sophomores make aprons, undergarments and woolen middy-blouses and skirts. The juniors and seniors make aprons, dresses, waists, skirts, and all outer garments. This year the seniors are making their middy suits for graduation. Girls taking this course are taught how to draft all patterns, practically no commercial patterns being used. Besides learning how to make garments, the various kinds of material are studied for their durability and their laundering qualities. Miss Leona Garrow directs this Department also, three days of the school week being spent usually on cooking and the remaining two days on sewing. Page Forty-nine The Manual Training: Department was added to the course of study in the city schools in 1917. The purpose is to teach the use of hand tools, to broaden the intellect by giving: an insight on industry, to establish closer relations between home and school and to assist in forming habits of neatness, orderliness, promptness and accuracy.

Among the things which have become permanent fixtures include library table, stands, filing cases, playground apparatus, bicycle racks and numerous other projects. The equipment is very good and compares favorably with that of the larger cities. We lack necessary machinery, however, but we are hoping to have this added in the very near future. The department invites parents and friends to visit the various classes. —W. H. SCHUBERT ni lilllliH Page Fifty THE COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT The Commercial Department in the High School provides courses in Stenography, Commercial Arithmetic, Bookkeeping, and Commercial Law. It is specially planned to fit the needs of individual students and to train them to be able to hold commercial positions upon graduation from High School. It is one of the duties of a high school to prepare students for vocational work and to fill the needs of the community life. A large percentage of boys and girls who receive their secondary education in a community, do not have an opportunity to continue their studies in higher institutions of learning. It is the design, therefore, to offer to such high school students the opportunity of training themselves while in high school for useful citizenship and, more specially, to fit themselves for commercial positions. Our Commercial Department is located on the 3rd floor. There are two rooms, one for Typewriting, and one for Shorthand, Bookkeeping, Commercial Arithmetic and Commercial Law. The Typewriting room is equipped with five Underwood typewriters, typewriting tables and chairs. The Bookkeeping room is provided with special desks' for the work in Bookkeeping. During the first semester five periods a week of forty minutes each are spent on Junior and Senior Stenography, 3rd year Bookkeeping, Typewriting and Commercial Arithmetic. The Juniors cover ten lessons from the Gregg Shorthand Manual and the corresponding lessons from the Gregg Speed Studies. The Seniors review the Gregg Manual, take special business letters from the Gregg Speed Practice Book and read the Gregg Writer. Bookkeeping and Commercial Arithmetic are given in a practical way, in that subject matter is taught that will train students in the business methods. The second semester the Juniors complete the Gregg Shorthand Manual and the Seniors are given work such as the dictation of business letters that will make them efficient stenographers. Commercial Law is also given the second semester. The Commercial Department has received state aid, which is given only to those schools which have acquired a certain standard of work. € HE Page Fifty-one PHYSICAL EDUCATION MBIlingMIinBlinilllWUllllimBIIIIIHmilllllllHIll.....................limn Physical Education was introduced as a part of the High School curriculum for the first time this year. One period of forty minutes has been devoted each week to physical training and talks on hygiene. The girls’ physical training class has been under the supervision of Miss Leone Harrow. Besides marching and work in calisthenics and light gymnastics, lessons have been spent on breathing exercises and body postures. The boys training has been under the direction of Mr. VVm. Schubert. Their course has been based upon the same principles as were used in training the army and for that reason a regular company with its officers was organized. The work, besides military drill, consisted of games and setting-up exercises. Our splendid gymnasium offers unusual opportunities for such work in physical education. Our equipment as yet is small, but great interest and enthusiasm has been displayed.

They may be “hard” for someone, and may be easy, too, But the hardest task of all I say, is to keep from feeling blue. When the Exam is over, do whate’er you please. And just run around the corridors, and forget about the D’s. Some will have a couple of A’s, and some a couple of B’s, But nearly everybody will have a couple of C’s. “D” is just a symbol for the work you did not do. Don’t be surprised when you get it, for it is nothing new. And after you have read this, until your eyes are red, Think it over just a bit, and sleep well while in bed.
