LITERARY DEPARTMENT wm THE LYCEUM SOCIETIES At the beginning of the school year, as has been the custom for the last three years, two literary societies were organized. 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. Orchestra Selected “Laddie” Lea Allen “How the Church was Built at Kehoe’s Bar”-----Helen McCloskey “Old Soapy” ------------------------------------ Francis Long “Few Bars in the Key of G”---------------------------Janie Beer Music—Girl’s Glee Club “Dance of the Pine Tree Fairies.” “Littlest Rebel”................................... Nona Long “Pro Patria” Florence Craig “Billy and the Major” Agnes Weeks Piano Solo Grace Cherrier “Lafayette” Emmett Walsh “New Brotherhood of Man” Clement Lindner “Meaning of the Flag” Herbert Dahmer The judges, Mrs. Berge, Mrs. Spiegelberg and Miss Marjorie Davis of the Bos-cobel High School awarded in the Declamatory Contest, Agnes Weeks, first place, Florence Craig, second place, and Francis Long third place. 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.
