Page One The Trairic Toil The Annual Publication of The Junior Class of the Prairie du Chien High School Assembled and Published by the Class of 1924 Httlumc Number Thirteen i! Edi cation To Superintendent Koepke, our faithful friend and teacher, we, the class of 1924, dedicate this Annual. WILLIAM C. KOEPKE Superintendent Form cirri Our “Prairie Dog” has not been in a lethargic state during the winter months. In fact it has been very much alive, and developed slowly but surely into the thirteenth volume of the Prairie Dog, due to the contribution of material from every class in High School and the careful administration of the Junior Class Advisor and the Annual Board, which represents the Junior Class of the Prairie du Chien High School. In this volume, it has been our aim to portray and depict the departments of our High School, as well as the various activities during the school year. We realize that it is largely through the fine spirit of co-operation and the generosity of the citizens of this community that the completion of this volume is made possible. We take this opportunity, therefore, to express our appreciation and thanks to all who have so kindly and liberally contributed to its success. Through this number of the annual we extend to you the greetings of the Prairie du Chien High School. W. C. KOEPKE.

Prairie High, Prairie High, We’ll set our every affection high On the path you have lighted across our way, Lead us on to a perfect day. We’ll fight our battle and never say die, For the sake of the memory of Prairie High. Prairie High, Prairie High, The world will not stop to ask us why, When the battle was long, we did not break; But stayed to the finish for the old time’s sake. The credit to us we will not apply, Twas all for the sake of Old Prairie High. —Elsie Sainty. Board of Induration HENRY OTTO F. R. SHECKLER $ THEO. ZIEL R. MUNSON President CHAS. GRELLE MR KOEPKC.

Seniors President ____________________,_________________________________________Fred Bittner Vice President__________________________________________________________________Jesse Mecum Secretary and Treasurer_______________________________________________________Mildred Schultz Tlir Seniors The Seniors are going to leave us this year, That “peppy” class, full of wit and cheer, They’ve studied hard and won great fame, That very bright class, Seniors by name They’ve made good friends, not only a few. And made good marks, “you bet” you Couldn’t beat the Seniors in getting marks. They’re really very wise and great mark sharks. The Seniors are in for all there is. From a great big play to a physics quiz; So you see they’re always ready to aid When a call for help to them is made. There’s very great talent in that Senior Class, And splendid genius, we can’t let that pass; They have sweet singers and some excellent actors, And who knows but what they have some nice pastors? We’ve had lots of fun with the Seniors this year. And what wili we do when they are not here? Let’s hope there’ll be wit in the class to come. Or we’ll be out some former school fun. And now as the Mark Sharks depart from us, Let’s give them nine rahs! and make lots of fuss. For we’re losing the class we need most of all, Unless their place is filled by next fall. Let’s bid them good-bye cheerfully, And wish them Happiness for Eternity. May we meet in Life’s Pathway, somewhere, some day, And tidings of joy to each other convey. —Frances Henry ’25.

From midst conditions widely separate, lino Prairie’s High School then we came, Where each and all by work may rise to fame. L!y high ambition most of us were led Hither, that we might be enriched and fed. For this is Prairie’s greatest attribute, The call of high ideals ne’er grows mute Within her halls. For those who entered here Without an aim, this call has now grown clear. Here, too, democracy o’er all does reign; Each one a high and honored place may gain If he but shows ability to do, And prove himself of sterling worth and true, This year with all its lessons in now o’er; But before us, clearly seen, lies one more. In which we shall strive to win fame and praise For Alma Mater, and her name to raise To heights before unknown, thus showing well The love and gratitude words cannot tell. Page Twenty-Four Simiars DON’T BLAME ME IF— CLARENCE AHRENS I’m here on time for school, th? yellow taxi always comes so early. GRETCHEN AMANN I t3lk funny; I’m following the example of Demosthenes. FRANCES BARNEY I like “Yum”; it’s my sister’s fault. DELIA BLAHNA I like to dafice; look at those marathon dancers. MURILLA CAMPBELL I’m stubborn in Geometry; my tongue gets twisted. LOUIS CORNFORD The frogs croak on my back porch during the high water; “Tr-r-r-oonk.” Page Twenty-Five Juniors HOW CAN I HELP IT THAT— EVA DELAP Pm tall and stately? It runs in the family. CARL DOHSE They call me fuzzy? I don’t know where they got it. STELLA FAVRE I’m a poor student? The competition is too much for me. BEATRICE FINLEY I like history? Napoleon was my grandfather. ELMA FISHER I’m a math shark? I’m from Bagley. VIOLET FOGARTY I’m shy? I was born in the country. mm Juniors DID YOU KNOW THAT— GEORGE FOLEY I made a perfect attendance record last year? ESTHER GALAGAN Has a good reason fcr hurrying home from school? ORAL GOFF I’m perfectly contented when I have a certain Junior boy around me? CLEMENCE GREMORE Uses rouge? But that is just between you and me. FRANKLIN HAUPT All the girls are wild about me because I am so small and graceful? EVA HERPEL I almost lost my good disposition in Geometry? Page Twenty-Seven Hunters WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF— CLIFFORD KABER Forgot what our assignment in English was? SOPHIA KARNIK Lewis Schnug should behave himself and let me alone awhile in English class? .JOHN KASPAREK Someone called me by my right name? THEODORE KIMBALL I had been born rich instead of good looking? JAMES KRAMER I should decide to wear my every day? leng trousers ERNEST LECHNIR Ralph and I should have a falling out? Page Twenty-Eight Juniors WE CAN PROVE THAT— JOSEPH MAROUSEK Has been doubling for Valentino in his famous Argentino Tango. Watch him. VIOLA MULLER Has been failing in typewriting due to social activities. MARGUERITE NOGGLE Is missing in action. JAMES POWERS Thinks all sheiks are at least red-headed. GLADYS RIDER Studies her lessons once in a while. LEWIS SCHNUG Is now the proud possessor of a half share in the world famous Spark Plug. Look out for Google and Schnug. Pago Twenty-Nine Huwtrrs IF WE’RE NOT MISTAKEN- WILLIAM STANDORF Does not believe in Santa Claus any more. What wonderful mysteries education unravels. RALPH WEEKS Is going to be an orator some day. CLARENCE JAMBURA Is taking his vacation rather early this year. CLARENCE ZIEL Is very much interested in a correspondence course in Cigar Chiropractic. Sophomores (Class (Officers President ________________________________________Willis Wachter Vice President _____________________________________Albert O’Neil Treasurer---------------------------------------------Inez Shaw Page Thirty-One (Class Tales of a (Class Traueler (1934-33) Yes, I call myself a class traveler and that is really what I am. As a member of the Sterling Quartet, I have toured the United States and while doing so, have found all of my 1923 Sophomore class-mates. This may seem to you a queer thing, but it took me two years to complete the list. As I must make a long story short, I cannot tell you how I happened to find each one, but you may be sura it was quite accidental in most cases. We began our tour from Chicago where .John Pintz, whom we all know as “Jack, the Winner,” works daily with a pair of boxing gloves and a dummy or real opponent. I had the pleasure of meeting a former classmate not only as Albert O’Neil, b it as Judge O’Neil of the state court of Madison. He is as learned a judge as he Is handsome. After boarding a street car in LaCrosse, I recognized the stout man sit ing comfortably in the corner watching closely for nickles, as Harold Herple. Louis Konichek is a raiser, not manufacturer, of great big, juicy strawberries on a huge strawberry farm in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Still silent little Martin Dolan probably chose to be the manufacturer of the “Silent Bed Ford” at Bedford, Indiana, because his fascination for silence is still great. His bed fords (bedroom slippers) are highly reccmmended for their silent speed to Dreamland, and, as I have journeyed in them, I agree. At a bank in Gary, Indiana, I found the face of an old classmate, Edward Nugent, framed in the fancy cashier window. Harvey Bronson, owner of the prelty little “Eat On Restaurant” at Eaton, Ohio, enjoys giving his customers these instructions free of charge: “Remember, you’re in the ‘Eat On Restaurant’.” Arnold Meyers owns a Radio Broadcasting Station at Barbertown, Ohio. You see, he isn’t a Barber—as the town might suggest. He’s a radio man, do you understand? I met Dr. Murray Pinkerton leaving the Punxsutawney Restaurant at Punxsu-tawney, Pennsylvania. He was as jolly as ever in spite of his wife’s absence. Rye would no doubt suggest to you a farmer. Oscar Bunders is a farmer at that city in New York. Not only a farmer, but a prosperous farmer, if you please. William Scheibel, a more skillful cartoonist than he used to be in history class, and also a better poet than he used to be in the English rocm, works for the New York Times. Helen Honzel is a hat packer for the National Cloak and Suit Company. Manchester would, no doubt, bring to mind Elsie Sainty, who is a Domestic Science teacher in a large high school of that city. The former Evelyn Silberschmidt, now the wife of the wealthy manager of the Merchants National Bank at Boston, and Esther Collins, Evelyn’s husband’s private secretary, are together much of the time. At Bridgeport, I met quiet little Loretta Valley, working hard at some figures in a large department store. In Irvington, New Jersey, the largest and most modern creamery of the state is owned by Irvin Horkheimer. Belleville, New Jersey, is quite suggestive of Belies not only in name. The beauty shop there is owned by Frances Valant. I wasn’t very much surprised to find Frederick Graap at Frederick, Maryland, operating a large book store. Lionel Steward is in “Old Virginny” managing a large men’s clothing store in Richmond. No doubt he is a Rich-mound himself. Egidius Schaefer owns the jewelry store at Nantucket, Massachusetts. He certainly has a fine line of rings at present, but only once can we say, Nan-tuck-it. Perhaps Rhea Lawler never thought she would be the teacher of a kindergarten class of fifty sweet little pupils so near the famous Niagara Falls. Lieutenant Wachter at the West Point Military Academy is now so thin and Page Thirty-Two graceful, thanks to his position, that he could pass through the eighteen-inch passageway of King Tut’s tomb. At Parkers-burg, only a burg of twenty thousand, I met, at a bank, Ray Pellock, owner of a fluffy plantation. No doubt, he spends no little time at such a place. We all know Helen Cherrier, the famous little toe dancer. Helen’s home is in Rome, Georgia. When we saw her perform, she did some very elaborate toe dancing. Because of her former years of experience in a grocery store, even before her Sophomore days, Nettie Scherlin makes the best employee of the large grocery concern at Macon, Georgia. That earnest classmate, Ernest Poulda, is the proud owner of the large orange grove at Jacksonville, Florida. The former Lillian Schaefer resides at Florence, Alabama, on a pretty piece of property. She is the wife of a lawyer and without doubt, needn’t worry about mere coin very much. Elsie Spiker represents one of the many librarians employed at a large and beautiful library in Mobile, Alabama. Yes, she’s as mobile as ever. Knoxville, Tennessee, is an excellent place for Murrell Gassen, the comedian, because he can and must stand for many Knox— 'in his occupation. On passing a theater at Paris, Kentucky, another stray European city, the sign in front attracted me. It read, “Star Theater, Howard Bily, Prop.’’ Of course I didn’t have to find my brother, George. He owns a garage in Burlington, Iowa. Yes, he deals in cars, but just for one type, not two, of Burlington roads. No great hint is necessary to tell you whom 1 found at Clarence, Missouri. The former Marceline Cardine, of course. In spite of Clarence, she is a bookkeeper in the largest store of the city. One of my companions felt she needed a new hat when we were at Helena, Arkansas, and we chose to go to “Helen’s Hat Shop.” To my surprise, I soon found myself talking to Helen Poulda. After seeing Lawrence Betz riding proudly through the streets of Beaumont, Texas, on a splendid steed, one evening, and after seeing all the pretty girls walking around, I knew why he chose to own a ranch at that city. Pauline Dolan is the “Childress Maker” of Childress, Texas. After taking a course in dressmaking, she is an expert at making clothes for little folks. Inez Shaw, another class traveler, the Maud Powell of the United States, resides at Drumright, Oklahoma, when at home. She doesn’t drum—on her violin, but she does play—right, of course. The city of Inglewood, California, doesn’t belong to Lena Ingle, who is a bookkeeper in a dry goods store there. Raymond Glynn is widely known as the manufacturer of the Unicycle, a bicycle with one wheel. His “one block big” factory is at Glynndale, California. Indeed Leona Foley wouldn’t “go to work on canals,” so you may be sure she is the best stenographer of the city of Venice, California. The handsome teacher appointed to direct us in the high school at Oakland, California, was none other than George Panka, the manual training teacher. Prairie du Chien wasn’t large enough for Edwin Howe. So he went to Salt Lake City, Utah, where he now publishes, weekly, the “Howe About the City,” called the “Howe” for short. Ruth Sime and Florence Strauman, hello and tello girls at Pocatello, Idaho. Last, but certainly not least, I found the healthy Forest Ranger Henry Novy while we were visiting the President’s Forest at Colorado, the most unspoiled woodland left in America. From this brief account of my travels, you can readily see that I have got a great deal of pleasure not only in visiting many new places, but also in seeing all my old friends and classmates. —FRANCES HENRY. ’25.

There are different departments to choose from. There is English for Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Freshmen English is a confused medley of themes, themes, and more themes, Patiently th y study Narration and Description. Yet every cloud has its silver lining. For who is there who doesn’t enjoy Ashmun’s Short Stories, “The Merchant of Venice,” or “Marmion”? The Sophomores still find themes knocking at their door, dealing with Narration, Arg.imentation, Exposition and Description, the four important types of discourse. Letter writing, figures of speech, poetry are also st died. “Silas Marner” and “Julius Caesar” make interesting reading. Oh! Henry D. Thoreau Whatever made you go To Walden? That is the cry of the Juniors, for whoever really liked “Walden” when he was a Junior in High School? But how nice it is when it is all over and you think of the heated debates in class. The first part of the Junior course is taken up with American Literature. “Palgrave’s Golden Treasury”' is read by the Juniors also, to change the monotony of prose. English IV is without doubt the best of all. There’s Chaucer, and Spencer, and Sbak?speare, Milton. Johnson, Dryden, Pope, Wordsworth, Tennyson, Burns and Browning. Oh, dear! History is one of the required subjects in a High School curriculum. Three years of this subject are offered to the students. Ancient and Medieval History for the Sophomores deals with pre-historic and historic people, growth and fall of Athens and Rome, curious places and customs of ancient times. It is interesting but, nevertheless, you must study, for history is no snap. The Juniors are required to take Modern History, dealing with the fall and overthrow of kings and lords and the development of freedom in practically all the nations of the world. It takes you through the World War when the Hohenzollern, Romanoff and Hapsburg dynasties fell. Of course, every Monday, current topics out of the Literary Digest are given. Yes, the Seniors love American History. They learn how the great nation we all love so well was formed; learn the great things our forefathers did and to name the presidents and to characterize them is just fun. The last part of the second semester is given over to civics. Physics is the only barrier between graduation and the Seniors. It is a required subject and the pupils must pass this to get their diplomas. Physic s a universal science dealing with all forms of matter and states of motion. Each Senior performs his experiments individually at certain periods. This gives the student actual experience and a broader knowledge of the properties and action of substances seen in everyday life. Biology is a pastime of the Sophomores. For who is there who doesn’t like to study the evolution of man? Biology is a science of plant and animal life. Elementary Science is taken up by the Freshmen touching light, heat, food, machines, sound, earth and its surface. It is a preparatoiy . . bject for the advanced science, physics. The Freshmen also study civics. Mathematics is a very important factor in science, and many phases of engineering, as navigation, railroad building, surveying are based on mathematical foundations. Juniors, who all like Geometry so well, receive from its study the reasoning power, clearness and exactness of thinking which is necessary in real life as in mathematics, for in all steps one must have a clear notion of solution and the end to be reached. Geometry is a required subject for the Juniors and for the Freshmen, Algebra. This year there was quite a large class in Advanced Algebra and also, the second semester, in Solid Geometry. The Seniors who wanted to take advanced work had the choice of Social Problems or Advanced Mathematics. Page Thirty-Seven vm The Latin department aims to teach th Latin vocabulary in a thorough and intelligent way, both as an end in itself and as a practical basis for a thorough understanding of English words and a mastery of the vocabulary of Romance Languages. The French language seems to be so very interesting that many students enroll in the French classes. Oh, how they like to read stories in French. The Home Economics department enables the girls to become better housewives. The seventh and eighth grades study Elementary Food Study and Sewing. The Freshmen work is more advanced. The Sophomores’ is still more advanced with Home Management and Sanitation. The Sophomore girls served hot lunches this winter to the students, as they have done in previous years. On the other hand, there is Manual Training for the boys. The seventh and eighth grades receive the elements of Woodwork, Drawing and Cabinet Work. The Freshmen receive the principles of Mechanical Drawing, Freehand Drawing, Tracing and Blueprinting; the Sophomores, advanced Cabinet Work, large furniture and panel construction, advanced Mechanical Drawing, Sheet Metal Drafting, Machine Drawing and Architectural Drafting. Although the Junior and Senior classes are omitted, the classes are extraordinarily large, but full accommodation is provided for all. In our High School the commercial department provides courses in Stenography, Commercial Arithmetic, Bookkeeping, Commercial Geography and Typewriting. At the present time good stenographers are in great demand in the business world. The commercial course is practical and worth while. That is why a great many students take up work in the commercial departments. The first year in shorthand is spent in learning the fundamental principles from the manual and applying them in dictation which comes in the second year with transcription. At present the Seniors are immensely interested in the mysterious “The Sign of the Four.” The Junior and Senior typewriting consists of letters and speed tests. There are many students enrolled in the Commercial Geography this year. In the first semester Commercial Arithmetic was taught. Bookkeeping is a whole year course. This is a subject which is necessary to every business man and woman, and is of vital importance. The commercial department has two rooms, one for shorthand, bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic and geography, and the other the typewriting room. There is abo a mimeograph wh eh runs off hundreds of copies of stencils saving labor and time. Taking all the departments together it isn’t hard for the students to choose what course they will take which will help them in their life work. —SOPHIA KARNIK, ’24. I Histon) of (Our School History is a record of events, and the history of our High School is not only a record of ev nts, but also of progress and of achievement. In the year of 1864, the Prairie du Chien High School wa= established. During the year 1889-1890, under the principalship of F. G. Kraege, the High School was acknowl dged : n accred ted school by the state university. Due to the increase in attendance both in High School and the Grades, there was erected in 1896, the building which now serves the Grades. Constructed of ted brick, well lighted, heated and ventilated, it contains an assembly room, two recitation rooms, a library and two laboratories. In 1908, Mr. Gunderson ars m d principalsh'p of the school. As a result of his careful supervision, not only was there marked progress in the work of the various branches of the school system, bi t thro was also a great increase in material equipment In the High School the standard of work was raised in every department; new departments were added, and better teachers w.re employed. Yet the expansion of the student body and the pressing needs of teachers and accommodations for the introduction of additional subjects, compelled the erection of a new building. Thu , o. r present beautiful High School building was completed in 1918. Its cost approximates $100,000, and it is one of the finest examples of modern school construction in the state. The assembly room contains a large stage and a seating capacity for two hundred and twenty students. There are well arranged class rooms. The large gymnasium, with shower baths and dressing rooms, is modern in every essential. Two libraries, on; for reference and the other for fiction, contain 3,558 volumes—choice literature that helps both teachers and students. Our present superintendent, Mr. Koepke, has been with us a year and a half and in that short time he has fully demonstrated his ability in educational work. There has besn a marked increase in enrollment, besides an added interest manifested by the students in activities. The first board of education was elected at a meeting of the city council on May 3, 1875, with John Lawler as president and Professor J. Sutter was elected superintendent. At a meeting of the city council in July of the same year, President Lawler read a communication asking for sufficient money to put the school property in better condition. This was the first official act to improve conditions and construct a high school. Thanks are due to the present school board for their determined efforts and their firm stand to let nothing retard or hinder the advance of our school. The increase in enrollment, twenty-five students in 1889 and 206 in 1922, giv s us some idea of the rate of progress. Of the 206 students enrolled, th.re are 44 Seniors, 36 Juniors, 54 Sophomores and 72 Freshmen. School activities are many and varied. The Lyceum is a society that promotes development in rhetorical work. The student, being compelled to appear before an audience, gains confidence and poise. Several programs are given during the year, and the value of these programs to the students and the interest taken in them are made evident by the large audiences that fill the assembly on Lyceum night. Then there is an orchestra of twenty pieces and a Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Club. Mr. Koepke has also organized a track team and girls’ basket ball team. The school develops very fast teams which the citizens loyally support. Each year the Junior class publishes an Annual, called The Prairie Dog. This book represents in a general way the life and work of the school. The following nine courses are offered: English, French Latin, Modern Classi- cal, General, Commercial. Dome, tic Science, Social Scienc and Manual Training. In the Commercial co' rse, Gregg shorthand, typewriting, bookkeeping, commercial law and commercial arithmetic are taught. The Manual Training rooms, with their modern work benches and high grade tools, are a so.rce of inspiration to the boys. The Domestic Science rooms are also well equipped. Prairie du Chien High School is a source of pride to every citizen, and everything should be done to preserve its present high standard, —CLEMENCE GREMORE, ’24. Papre Thirty-Nine A Nook in the Hills Nearby That the Students Love Page Forty interior Klims 11 Vxxzt Cm (Elrnnsing There is a game as old as the hills, but one that always keeps its fascination. It is very simple; you stand in front of someone with your hands behind your back; one hand holds something in it, the other is empty. And so standing you say, “Choose.” The person chooses, getting the treasure or nothing at all. So it is that in every passing moment life stands there, hands behind back, and looking into our eyes, saying, “Choose.” Life is a matter of choice. You choose this book to read rather than that one, this particular game, leaving the other alone and this course of study that will help you along in your life work. Behind these seemingly casual choices is a force working. In the long run the choices you make are you yourself. You seem to have made them, but it is they who finally make you. It is choosing that makes you into the man or woman you definitely become. So it is wise to think a little about the choices you are making from day to day. Take the question to your heart and ask if the choices will make the kind that will build up a strong, clean, active and beautiful character. Life holds in one hand slack ways, careless habits; stout virtues of self-control, hardiness and bright, clear action in the other. There are more involved in the power of choosing than yourself. There are those with whom you come in contact, and beyond these, there is your country. It is according to your choice, yours and your friends’ and townsfolk that America moves. If you choose the hardy, healthy way, the fine and generous, then America marches with you and becomes hardy, noble and splendid. You and America are the same thing. You are a part of her and she is made up of such parts. Duty and happiness go hand in hand. It is a matter of no small pride to us that the solemn declaration of our independence as a nation should be based on certain inalienable rights, among which the great hearted gentlemen who formed the terms chose life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.” To us, the pursuit of happiness seems more than a right. It is a duty, an obligation laid upon us by our common humanity, a debt of honor which we owe to the world. This is a wonderful place to live, filled with countless beautiful things. Each of us has a rich gift that we can give those about us, our happiness. It is like a fire lighted on a broad hearthstone, toward whose warmth numberless hands are stretched out. For happiness springs of a welcoming attitude of our own minds, which makes us constantly on the alert for beauty and meaning in every phase of life. Think as you step up to choose, and as you say this hand, or that hand, that it is not a game you are playing but that it is a matter of laying foundations, of building, of making beautiful. Remember that you are young America, and that “character is the diamond that scratches every other stone.” Strong, true character will enable you to make your mark in the world in whatever service you undertake. Our country is what we make it. —SOPHIA KARNIK, ’24.

The following officers were elected this year: President ...........— Gordon Kieser Vice President ---------------------------Frederick E.

Lewis The programs were carried out with the idea of presenting to the public the best dramatic and musical ability in the school, and allowing as great a number of students as possible to participate. In the course of the year, three plays, one debate, five readings, two orations, besides a number of dances, drills and musical selections, both vocal and instrumental, were given. —MARJORIE E. LEWIS. (flrntan) and Jleclamaton} This year the Prairie du Chien High School entered enthusiastically into Declamatory and Oratorical work. This is excellent training for the students because it teaches them to express their thoughts before an audience. Mr. Koepke and Mr. Parker coached the boys; Miss Jones and Miss Gardner coached the girls. A preliminary declamatory contest was held on May 2 to decide who the three girls would be to compete against Boscobel here on May 4. Marjorie Lewis, Jean Amann and Cyrilla Kuchenbecker were chosen from a group of fifteen girls. There was no preliminary contest for the boys because only three entered. A contest was held here between our team and Boscobel on Friday, May 4. Both contests were heated and close. In the girls’ declamatory contest Cyrilla Kuchenbecker won first place, her selection being, “The Lie,” which gives her the privilege of representing the Prairie du Chian High School at Platteville on May 11. Jean Amann won second with “Betty, the Borrower,” and Marjorie Lewis took third with “By These Things Men Live..” Note:—Second place in district contest at Platteville goes to Cyrilla Kuchenbecker. In the boys’ oratorical contest Mr. Highlander of Boscobel won first place with the selection, “The New South,” and Mr. Nelson with “The Turk Must Go,” and Elmer Fuka with “The Prevention of War” tied for second honors. Leslie Clark won third with “Gettysburg.” This work has proven a great help, both for those who took part and for the school as a whole, and next year, we hope, the school will again enter enthusiastically into it. —ELMER FUKA, 23. Page Forty-Five Senior (Class I Ino The Senior class play, “The Charm School,” was presented May 25 in the high school auditorium. The players were well chosen and the play was a complete success. Miss Lampert and Mr. Parker directed the play, and the high school orchestra furnished the music. “The Charm School” is a fascinating comedy which relates the adventures of a handsome automobile salesman scarcely out of his ’teens, who, upon inheriting a girls’ boarding school from a maiden aunt, insists on running it himself, according to his own ideas, chief of which is a singular notion that the young girls of today should be educated to be CHARMING! The situations that arise are full of lively humor. In the end the young man gives up the school and promises to wait until the most precocious of his pupils reaches a marriageable age.

Not only were the players at their best, but the gorgeous costumes surpassed anything that has been given this year. The cast included: Old Ned—Theodore Kimball; Rose—Leona Pyer; Richard St. John—Frederick Bittner; Simon Scudder—Woodridge Dyer; Holly Timms— Clarence Jamboura; Jack Martin—Gordon Kieser; Martha St. John—Virginia Lengst; Monty Gray—William Nugent; Pilot Farley—Jesse Mecum; Judy—Hazel Wetzel; Marquis De La Tour—George Foley; Bruce MacDougal—Leslie Clark. Rose Farley, Pilot Farley’s adopted daughter, is loved by, and returns the affections, of Richard St. John, a southern planter, whose lands join those of the “Sans Souci” sugar plantation owned by Pilot Farley. Simon Scudder, overseer of the “Sans Souci,” also loves Rose. She refuses his love and therefore he makes plans with Jack Martin and Holly Timms to prove that Rose has negro blood in her veins. This being the only reason why she refuses to marry Dick. Scudder’s plans are stopped though, by the arrival of the Marquis, who proves that he is the grandfather of Rose. Scudder, Timms and Martin are put under arrest for falsity of some documents and at the end Rose and Richard are married. There is also a love affair running between Richard’s sister, Martha, and his friend, Monty, from the north, also numerous comedy scenes between Old Ned and his wife, Judy, and the other colored servants of the plantation. —ANITA TESAR, ’23. Page Forty-Six Commercial Contest In the Commercial contest held at Platteville April 27, our school received first place, making a score of twenty-one points. This was four more points than the total of all other schools participating. As this victory made us champions of the district, our three winning first place had a chance to go to Whitewater to compete in the state contest. They are Agnes Conopa, Viola Muller and Atherton Wells. The following pupils won honors at Platteville: Agnes Conopa, first place in shorthand; Gertrude Silberschmidt, third place in advanced typing; Viola Muller, first place in beginning typing; Oral Goff, fourth place in beginning typing; Atherton Wells, first place in mental calculation, and John Kasparek, second place in mental calculation. —ORAL GOFF, ’24. Annual Exhibit The annual exhibit was held on June T in the gymnasium, for the purpose of displaying to the public work that has been done by the different departments of the school during the year. The Manual Arts and Home Economics departments were especially interesting because of the different articles displayed. The music and drawing departments were also worthy of mention because they showed the individual work of each type of student. In addition to the above, all other High School departments and grades added splendid material to the exhibit. —VIRGINIA LENGST.

Freshmen have a pretty decent team but of course can’t excel the Juniors. The Seniors make a big fuss over nothing. Try to drown out the Juniors in cheers. Not a sound from the Sophs. “‘October 10—Tournament still on. Rah! for the Juniors! Hee! the Freshmen beat the Seniors! As usual the Juniors came out with colors flying. “‘October 12—Seniors had a class meeting; tried to act very wise and dignified but I know that they only elected officers. “ ‘October 13—Juniors had their meeting to elect officers—much more dignified! “ ‘October 14—Freshmen, not wanting to be left out in the cold, decided to have their meeting to elect class officers.

Hip! “ ‘April 18—I get so terribly lonesome these days. All the kids are studying their pieces for the declamatory and oratorical contests during their study periods and absolutely ignore my kindly chatter. If I had realized how “alone in the world” I’d be, I would have joined the ranks, too! “ ‘April 19—Only 648,000 more seconds of school.’ “The editors are sorry to inform the readers that they are unable to read or decipher the remaining part of this interesting diary. We are able to find that the Senior play of that year was a howling success and that the last part of the year was a busy one, being filled with contests, lycsums and concerts. “School closed June 8, 1923.” Page Fifty-One The Tram Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin, April 28, 1923. Dear old Vivian: I felt so badly when I received your mother’s telegram Friday morning, saying you had been taken ill and therefore couldn’t come down for the Prom. We had all planned on your coming, and I’m certain that you must have been as disappointed as we, so I’m writing to tell you all about it while it’s still fresh in my mind. In the first place, the gym looked simply marvelous! I saw it the morning before, but it seemed ever so much different that night. I suppose it was the lights that made the difference. You needn’t laugh! I mean it. Now to the details— All along the balcony were suspended streamers of green and white (our class colors) in the form of arches. There were about fourteen of them, I think. Two large hoops woven in green and white, to form blocks were hanging from the ceiling at both ends of the gym (I mean one at each end). On these hoops were fastened just heaps of roses, and around the sides of the hoops were twisted long streamers of green and white, fastening onto the balcony at the same places as the arches. These hoops, and the streamers coming down, formed two regular canopies. They were awfully pretty. The lights were covered with green and pink alternately—and when they were turned on cast a soft, shadowish glow! The platform was decorated with green and white arches and along the bottom were strips of these same colors, only each white strip was fastened with a pink rose. You would almost have to see the decorations to realize how effective they were, as I’ve hashed this up unmercifully. The Grand March took place about ten—we had to have it rather early because a number of the kids were going to Platteville to a commercial contest and they had to go home at ten-thirty. Our class president has taken a vacation so the vice president and the Prom chairman led the march. The Freshies and Sophs weren’t invited to the Prom this year because Mr. Kocpke thought it would be nice if they would have something .o look forward to in their Junior and Senior years. I think it was a rather good idea, but, somehow I felt sorry for the poor little things. I may say that now that I’m an upper classman. Oh, I say! You ought to have seen the clothes that everyone wore! That’s one reason why I’m so crazy about going to the proms—everyone gets a new dress, and it’s a lot like a dress parade! But—there’s one thing that always spoils my fun, and that’s my hair. I do wish it would grow out, I feel so foolish with it bobbed. I’m getting uncontrollably silly so I’ll finish this up quick before I say something that will retard your recovery. The kids said for me to send their sympathy—I don’t suppose it will help much but at least I’ll feel that I have done my duty! As ever, NINO NONA. Athletics Coach Schubert -Kruii'iu of the basket 3JnlI Reason of 1022-23 The opening of the basket ball season found Prairie seriously handicapped by the loss of five, of last year’s team. The team suffered a defeat at the hands of the Alumni in the opening: game, but won the next three games, with Lansing, Monona and Patch Grove, decisively. The gam with Monona is especially worthy of mention, because of the fact that Prairie was behind 8-5 at half time, but won the game in the second half, after an exciting struggle. Prairie was then defeated by Arcadia, and defeated Mauston. The next game, at Sparta, was undoubtedly lost because Reiser, the captain, was unable to accompany the team. Following this game Baraboo was met at Prairie, and with Reiser once more in the line-up, Baraboo was led by one point, 11-12, until the last few seconds of play, when Baraboo caged the winning basket. The game ended with Baraboo on the long end of a 13-12 score. In the following game Prairie was defeated by the fast Campion quintet. The next game, that with Arcadia at Prairie, is on2 that will long be remembered by basket ball followers. It was probably the closest game ever played on the local floor. The score was tied 6-6 at the end of the first half and 11-11 at the end of the given time. This necessitated the playing of an extra five minute period, after which Prairie emerged the victor by one point, 16-15. In the next games Prairie was defeated by Baraboo, defeated the Dubuque U. Preps, lost to Mauston and won a forfeited game from Sparta. The final game was played at Campion, and the Red and Black five was again victorious. On the whole, the sea-on was very successful, considering the fact that the t arn was almost entirely rebuilt, consisting of men who had never played together before. It met some of the leading high school teams of Wisconsin and Iowa. The prospects for next year are very bright, as only thre? men, Reiser, Reiser and Nugent, will be lost through graduation, leaving six of this year’s team for next year. NEWELL MUNSON.

The “Tigers,” representing the Junior and Senior classes, were coached by Mr. Koepke, the Sophomore class team was coached by Mr. Derrwaldt, and the Freshman team by Mr. Parker. Early in the season a class tournament was held from which the Juniors emerged victorious. All teams scrimmaged against the first team. The “Tigers” purchased uniforms, arranged and played a schedule of several outside games. Their strength was considerably weakened by the loss of several men to the first team. However, it was a successful season for the “Tigers” and they sincerely hope that there will be a team organized next year to follow in their footsteps. W. H. S., ’23 L. W. C., ’23 Tlr.

The combined efforts of Mr. Koepke, Mr. Schubert and Mr. Derr-waldt put forth a team of which the school is proud. Mr. Koepke coached the distance runners, high jumpers and pole vaulters; Mr. Schubert the broad jumpers and sprinters, and Mr. Derrwaldt the weight throwers. The events taken part in were th? mile run, the half mile run, the quarter mile run, the two hundred twenty yard dash, the hundred yard dash, the pole vault, the high jump, the broad jump, the shot put and discus throw. Besides the local meets, the team entered the district meet at Platteville and the state meet at Madison. —ATHERTON WELLS, ’26 HH Girls’ basket ikill Tram The second year of basket ball for the girls, coe.ched by Superintendent Koepkc, proved to be a tremendous success.. The first game was played with Patch Grove on their floor, December 8, which, though it brought defeat, did not dampen the spirits of the team. As that was the only defeat of the season, it was dimmed by the victories which followed in rapid succession. The return game with Patch Grove, played on our floor December 22, was the best of the season. The first half ended 6-6. However, the size of Prairie’s gymnasium proved to be too large for our opponents. A wonderful defense brought to the front by the guards, and the excellent team work and well-aimed shots of the forwards ended the game in our favor, by the score of 14-9. January 23 the Bagley girls played here, and the game resulted in an easy victory for the home team, the score being 26-2. The return game with Bagley February 9, ending with a score of 38-2, proved to be a more serious defeat for the opponents on their own floor than at Prairie. A very enjoyable basket ball season ended with a final game played against the different classes; the Freshmen and Juniors against the Sophomores and Seniors. The hard-fought game came to a glorious end for the Sophomores and Seniors, who boasted of the score 16-0. Page Fifty-Eight Humor The customary purpose of this department is to make people laugh. Ours is by far a more serious one. We desire to show you what ws consider a “Perfect Annual.” —US.

The instructions for making a bread board are as follows: First select a n .ee piece of walnut wood. Take the buck-saw and rip out a piece 2 by 15 feet by 1%. Throw the saw in the corner and then start to plane it down to 1% feet by 13 inches by lMi inches. Take the square and look it over occasionally. After you think it is all right, sand it down and shellac it. After drying add a coat of wax followed by a heavy coat of barn paint, and last but not least get Schubert’s .1. H.

I The Freshman (Continued from Page 36) Selma Sletmark, Lela Spiker, George Strauman, Harry Topel, George Bauer, Carl Adams, Violet Ahrens and Ora Clark formed a stock company in 1720 and began the first wholesale store in America known as Montgomery. Roebucks and Co. There has since been a split, one-half going into partnership with one Chicago firm, the other half with another. Kathleen Finley, Frieda Turnmeyer, Mildred Gander, Arnold Glass, John Jam-bura, Anna Kovanda, George Kozelka, Clement Lechnir, Dorothy Pohlman, Pearl Mapson, Fay Stitz and Charlotte Vanderdrink, while on earth in the seventeenth century, set sail for America in the Mayflower. Their voyage, I believe, is considered of great importance in your country’s history. In the year 1,000,072 B. C. Loretta Bartholomew, Mamie Burtson, Valda Caya, Elizabeth Lawless and Mary Powers formed the first, original Ladies Sewing Circle. Kenneth Clark stands alone as the benefactor of all boyhood, and the one who has done most for the United States. While living as a Chinese emperor 700 years ago, he invented the firecracker. In 1620 Crete Fisher, Anna Honzel, Raymond Hornuth, Lawrence Kasparek, Helen Konichek and Stella LaBonne achieved the impossible, and after years of untiring r. search gave to the world the priceless boon of the vest pocket handkerchief. While on a picnic in 1790 Thomas Mooney, Cecelia Long, Clarence Navochek, Mary Nickelson, Corinne Rittenhouse and Dallas Schaeffer became lost and in their frantic efforts to get their directions, wandered across the pontoon bridge and discovered McGregor, Iowa. During the reign of Julius Caesar, Adolph Solberg, Clarence Solberg, Leone Yonke, and Lela Zabel found th:.t X is the unknown quan ity. At some indefinite time, perhaps ages in the future, they are destined to right this grave error and prove conclusively that Q and not X is the unknown quantity. This will be a great blessing to all Freshmen. “And you”—he stopped, choked queerly, and staggered. “Yes, yes,” I said, filled with an intense desire to know who I had been before. Who was I?” “You were—” his voice broke, then he continued hurriedly, “you first lived as—” he stopped again, then went on as if greatly excited. “I can’t finish. My time has come at last. I shall revist the earth in human form. I know not who I am destined to be but in a short time I shall begin another existence.” A long silence, during which he lost his human semblance, the white shape grew smaller, smaller, then in a second I was alone in the room. —FRANKLIN TESAR, Class of ’26 Page Sixty-Seven lumni 1887 Mattie Blancher (Mrs. L.
