The Prairie Dog PUBLISHED BY THE JUNIOR AND SENIOR CLASSES of PRAIRIE DU CHIEN HIGH SCHOOL Prairie du Chien Wisconsin FOREWORD This, the eighteenth volume of The Prairie Dog is an earnest and devoted endeavor to record the events of a year's sojourn at Prairie High. If it serves as a memento of achievement and enjoyment, if it arouses in the hearts of Prairie High students a lasting appreciation of the advantages they have enjoyed, then the purpose of the “Prairie Dog will have been attained. «ir m CONTENTS SCHOOL ACTIVITIES ATHLETICS FEATURES ADVERTISERS DEDICATION To the spirit of trees—that perennial spirit which has awakened in the heart of man a sincere appreciation of the work of the Almighty who has given us those priceless tracts of American forestry, once the haunt of the Indian, later the shelter of the English pilgrim, and finally the home of American manhood and womanhood—We, the members of the classes of ’32 and ’33, respectfully dedicate this eighteenth volume of the Prairie Doc. =S=C==H=0==0=L= I fcv B.

Hi port Teacher s College RETROSPECTION £ situation that has not its Duty, and its A Ideal, was not yet occupied by man. Our faculty finds its Duty a Responsiblity—the responsibility of educating the young people under its guidance—and its Ideal synonymous with the responsibility. And what is education? Is it mere book learning—the building of dreams, that will con-quer a crown, create an empire. vision a Utopia? Is it turning out boys and girls fully equipped to make a fortune or a flop ? It is more than these. Education is the development of character and the creating of a desire for the real success of life: it is teaching us to discover anew the romanticism of life, and how to move in life's fulness to that one far off divine event toward which the whole creation moves. Ever mindful that you cannot kill time without injuring eternity” our faculty works hand in hand with us, realizing their responsibility and guiding us toward the ld als for which we ought always to strive. As members of the class of ‘32, we pause. on the brink of graduation, to thank our Superintendent-Principal. Mr. Kennedy, whose keen insight into our problems and whose sympathetic understanding has endeared him to us. and whose fine idealism will be an inspiration in the years to come; and to gratefully acknowledge the work of every member of our efficient and loyal faculty, which has so ably supported Mr. Kennedy in all his projects for our advance• meat.

As Seniors this group of sixty lively students were always in the spotlight of the year’s activities. Early in the season class officers were elected as follows: Frank Ahrens, who had already acted in the capacity of President for two years, was re-elected; Marlowe Waller was chosen Vice-President; and Robert Hillings, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Edwards was selected as Class Adviser. Seniors comprised the main force of the Annual Staff, while the Editor-in-Chief, Business Manager, and Make-up, Literary, Sports, and Humor Editors of the school paper were also from this class. Many of the members of the Literary Society, as wrcll as its President were Seniors, as wrere the leaders of all the various Forensic groups and music organizations. Hoys of ‘32 topped the lineups in all athletics, carrying out their record of the past years for outstanding ability in sports. Ahrens, Allen. Hillings, Hoard-man, Hush, Drake, Evert, Fagan, Kneeland, Schaufenbil, Standorf, Waller, Williver, and White were conspicuous in the various contests. 1'lie Senior Class play, “The King Rides By” will long he remembered hv all who saw' it as an excellent dramatic production. Class Day, Class Night, and Commencement were of course the events of the last year. Class Night was a new feature to take the place of the usual Baccalaureate service, combining a program and a social hour. Of the ten students with highest scholastic averages, namely, William Allen, Ruth Campbell, Clarence Cherrier, Caroline Ellis, Marian Evans, Elizabeth Fluke, Rosella Pollock. Ilcne Steinberg, Thelma Valley, and Ona Wainright, Rosella Pellock received the highest four years’ record, which merited having her name engraved upon the Honor Plaque, a permanent fixture of the school. The Valedictorian and Salutatorian, Ona Wainright and William Allen respectively, were chosen for their speaking ability from among the ten Honor Students The Junior year was also an active one for this class. Frank Ahrens was elected President; John Fagan, Vice-President; Rosella Pellock, Secretary; and Francis Schaufenbil, Treasurer. Miss Gilligau acted as Class Adviser. The greatest event of this year was of course the Prom—a glorious “Night Under the Sea”, evolved from a galaxy of crepe paper, pins, and canvas, with Frank Ahrens leading the Grand March with his Prom Queen, Virginia Marvin. As Sophomores this class whole-heartedly entered into extra-curricular activities. With the exception of a lively Mixer, their first year was a quiet one for the class of ’32, for they were industrially forming the foundation upon which to build the remaining years of their high school career. ith companionships and experiences of four splendid years of high school as a background, the class of ’32 goes forth to paint a brilliant Future upon their canvas of Life.

Prairie Dog Junior Class History TVO years and some months ago, there was born a new class taking the name of Freshman, conceived in bondage, and dedicated to the proposition that all Fresliies are created unequal (to their upper classmen). I hey then became engaged in a great persecution, testing whether this Freshie, or any other Freshie could long endure- hut they did, and look what happened. In electing officers they had in mind George Washington, hut on being told that he was dead, resolved to elect one of their fellow students to represent the Freshman Class. “Mac” MacEachern was given the honor of leading them, while Carlton Wachter was awarded the easiest job of all—Vice-President. Audrey Miller kept the records of the class written on “Ye Scroll '. “Banker l.echnir was allowed to keep the change that aceuminulated. Surviving the far-famed Freshman Mixer, they struggled on until June, returning the next fall as full-fledged Sophs to engage in another persecution, hut this time being the persecutors. As was, is, and always shall be, they elected the “high muckie-muks” with executive power vested in Donald Clierrier. Again Carlton Wachter was allowed the Vice-President’s chair. Becoming seriously absorbed in their studies, June rolled around and everybody went home on “free-wheeling”. Everyone was glad to get to school, for they realized that the zenith of their schol career had come. “Donnie” was elected to lead the Prom, and again Wachter was Vice-President—one, two, three—and out! Evelyn Shaw was the Royal recorder and Cashier. Miss Gilligan was honored with the cherished ( ?) position of class Adviser. The class took a lively interest in outside aetivties this year. “Donnie Cher-rier, Laurence Strauman, and Joe DuCharme distinguished themselves in the Quartette, while Dorothy Evans and Anita Haupt put their musical talent in the Girls’ Sextette. In Forensics and Debating, Lorraine Gokey, Bill Garvey, and Anita Haupt did great work. Three one-act plays, “Weenies on Wednesday”, “Will o’ the Wisp”, and “The Man in the Bowler Hat” were given as their class play, and much talent was discovered in that field. The Honor Roll was consistently enhanced by the presence of many Juniors' names: Harold Becwar, Lorraine Gokey, Virginia kieser, Caroline Konicek, Ruth Sinrcina, Carlton Wachter, Anita Haupt. George Marvin, Edith LaBonne, Florence Konichek, and Eileen Cooper. As for athletics, all that is necessary is to mention names and the school knows the rest. On the gridiron they had such stalwarts as “Red l.echnir, Owen Roach, Bill Garvey, “Carly” Wachter, and “Virg” Mara. “Jake” Downing, “Red”, “Frannie” and “Georgie” Marvin upheld the team on the basketball floor, and Roach. Wachter. Allen, Downing, Benda, Lechnir, and Willard did big things in track and baseball. Of course the event of the year, as in all years, was the Prom—and what a Prom! With “Donnie” Cherrier and Dorothy Evans leading the Grand March to the music of Fred Bittner’s great band, and the decorations making everyone believe themselves to he the guests of George and Martha Washington, it stands out in the history of Prairie High proms. This world will surely note and long remember what the Juniors have done here, and the pleasant memories associated with the wonderful times they had will always remain with the class of ’33.

Miss M acauley was chosen for class Adviser. Coming forth from tlie harrowing experience of the Freshmen Mixer they found tlieir class still intact and ready for anything else fate might have in store for them. June finally came around with vacation plans and the awe-inspiring thoughts of being no longer lowly Freshies but Sophomores, privileged to revenge insults peculiar to Freshmen. This year they felt more sure of themselves for they were well acquainted with the school. Their officers for the year wrere as follows: Margaret Billings, President; Loran Day, Vice-President; Irene Hildebrand, Secretary and Treasurer. Miss Peaschek was their choice for class Adviser, and Lucille Evans and Marguerite Voth were Home Room Presidents. Several members of this class have gained recognition in extra-curricular activities. Edith Ballantine and Marguerite Voth were on the staff of Prairie Dog Tales, while Irene Hildebrand and Lucille Evans represented Prairie in Declamatory at the League contest in Boscobel. The names of Edith Ballantine, Margaret Billings, Lucille Evans, Rose Geisler, Myrle Hare, Donald Hork-heimer, Martin Kozelka, Clement Ryan, Gilbert Steiner, Marguerite Voth, Leona Zabel, and James Wiswall appeared on the Honor Roll. This record shows promise for an outstanding class in their next two years at Prairie High. Freshman Class History I HE Freshman Class of 1932 has made an unusual record for the beginning of its career in high school. Early in the fall, the first class meeting was held and the following officers were elected: President, Claramae Kennedy; Vice-President, Harvey Ahrens; Secretary and Treasurer, Ervin Benish. Miss Bred-esen was chosen as class Adviser. I he Home Room Presidents were Vale God-den and Feme Noggle. Together with the class President and Adviser, they represented their class in the Student Council. The most important event sponsored by the Freshman Class w as the Freshman-Sophomore party which was given May 10. The most outstanding record left by this group is the list of members of the class who have gained recognition scholastically and who have taken an active part in extra-curricular activities. The names of the following students have appeared on the Honor Roll frequently during the year: Ervin Benish, Douglas Dodd, Betty Chilson, Elizabeth George, Jean Hahn, Claramae Kennedy, Grace 1 ouhl, Milton Steinberg, and Cecelia Valley. Claramae Kennedy won a place on the Girls’ Sextette. Eugene Koecke was a member of the football and basketball teams. Many of the class are members of the Literary Society, Latin Club, Campfires and Glee Clubs. Forensics proved popular among the members of this class. Cecelia Valley and Ethel Long were out for Extemperaneous Reading; and Betty Chilson and Betty Garvey were out for Declamatory. I he future of this class promises to be well worth watching. ■■ Thk Prairie Hog 5 Eighth Grade President V ice-President Secretary Treasurer Robert Branstetter . Mary Grace Day .

Not until March, however, were plans for financing completed and a final sanction given for this publication. The stall was immediately appointed. Miss Bergen assumed the responsibility of Adviser, and work was begun. The financial success of the book may be credited to the activities’ fund, by means of which each student in the Junior and Senior High School has received a copy, the generosity of the Senior and Junior Classes, and the business men of the city who have placed their ads herein.

Its history dates back to January of 1931. It was at this time that, by the almost unanimous vote of the student body, the Home Hoorn Plan was adopted. This plan divided each class into two sections which were called Home Rooms, with officers in both sections subordinate to the class officers. By the terms of this plan each student agreed to pay ten cents a week to what is known as the activities’ fund, the payment of which admitted the student to all school activities. This year, not only has it admitted the students to all social, educational, and athletic events, but it has also given to each individual a subscription to Prairie Doc Tales and a copy of this annual. The Student Council is made up of seventeen members; one President and two Home Room Presidents from each class, together with the four class Advisers and Mr. Kennedy. These students act as intermediators between the student body and the faculty. At round table meetings each week in the library, these represenatives of the various classes discuss and decide all school problems brought before them. This delegating of a share of power to the students has produced cooperation and a certain sense of responsibility gratifying to see among students. Thirty-two Thk Pkairik Doc !

Literary Society l yTORE than forty students are itiembers of the Prairie du Chien High School Literary Society. It aims at affording its members an opportunity to become versed in public speaking by directing and stimulating interest in forensic activities, and at raising scholastic standings. Membership is open to all students whose scholastic average meets the state requirements for forensic contestants. The society consists of several clubs, namely: 1 he Dramatic Club of which Marian Kvans was President and Miss Bredesen, Director; Debating, Ona Wain-right. President, Miss Patterson, Director: Declamatory, Anita Haupt, President, Miss Bergen, Director; Extemporaneous Reading and Speaking, Virginia Marvin and William Jambura, Presidents respectively, and Miss Garrity as Director; Oratory, Lorraine Gokey, President, Miss Edwards, Director: and the Music Club, Miss Peaschek, Director. Officers of the organization must be chosen according to rank from the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes, respectively. Ibis year Francis Scliau-fenbil was President; Dorothy Evans, Vice-President; and Lucille Evans, Secretary and Treasurer. Meetings were held every third Tuesday. On February 9 the Literary Society sponsored the presentation by the Beck-ley Players of Oscar Wilde’s delightful farce, “The Importance of Being Ernest”.

This year the following students were chosen from a group of enthusiastic debaters to represent the school: affirmative—William Jambura, Marie Cardin, Francis Schaufenbil, and Phyllis Meyer; Negative— William Garvey, Lorraine Gokey, Marian Evans, and Pauline Lathrop. Weston Day and Ona Wainright acted as alternates. The question for debate was, ‘Resolved: that the several states should enact legislation providing for compulsory unemployment insurance.” As this topic was one of vital importance, it proved an unusually interesting subject for debate. In the first debate, January 18, both teams of Prairie du Chien were guests n of McGregor. In the same week Prairie’s teams met Viroqua in the school auditorium. The honors were divided. Prairie’s teams each winning and losin«' one debate. On January 25 the affirmative team journeyed to La Crosse where they won a favorable decision against the Aquinas’ negative team. At the return meet, however, victory went to the visitors. Interesting debates also took place between Benton and Prairie in which tin Prairie affirmative was successful. A double defeat by Richland Center prevented the team from continuing in the state rounds. Thirty-I our The Prairie Do . Robert Gremore. William Allen. Melvin Biehl. Francis Schaufenbil.

In the one-act play contest held on February 12 in the auditorium, in which the high schools of Muscoda, Boscobel, and Prairie du Chien participated, first place was awarded to “Allison’s Lad”, Prairie’s contribution. A scene from that production is pictured above. The cast of the play was as follows: Frank Ahrens, William Allen, Melvin Biehl, Robert Gremore, Francis Schaufenbil, and Sterling Williver. The excellent work of Miss Bredesen, Director of dramatics, was shown in the success of this play. As a special feature of the Art Exhibit, a play, “Art, Where Art Thou!” was given October 22. Several clever one-act plays were presented at Literary Society Meetings. Drama of another day was revived in a Harlequin-Columbine play, “With the Aid of Pierette” which was acted with masques. This and a picturesque playlet, “To Bethlehem”, were given shortly before Christmas. At the last meeting of the Society a comedy, “Stuffed Owls”, included in its east and staff all the members of the Dramatic Club who had not previously taken part in some production. Thus the aim of the club was fulfilled—every student on its roll had the opportunity of either appearing on the stage or having one of the equally important position of stage assistant.

Forensics fA I RING the past two years Forensics have played an important part in extra curricular activities. The various groups of the department, namely. Dramatics, Declamatory, Oratory, Kxteinporaneous Reading and Speaking, and Debate, have clone much toward accomplishing the end for which Forensics were introduced, that of interesting students in Public Speaking and Dramatics. For the past year the Presidents of the clubs were: Dramatics, Marion Evans; Declamatory, Anita Haupt; Oratory, William Jambura; Extemporaneous Reading, Virginia Marvin: Extemporaneous Speaking. Lorraine Gokcy. The outstanding departments this year have been the Debate and Dramatic Clubs. I he Dramatic Club presented a play with an entire male east, entitled •‘Allison’s Lad”, and was awarded first place at the District Contest. Later the east went to Milton to compete in the League Contest held there. The Debate teams were also very successful this year. First place was awarded them in the District Contest. 1 he representatives of the various other departments, who spoke at the District Contest held at Boscobel, were as follows: Declamatory, Lucille Evans and Irene Hildebrand; Oratory, Melvin Biehl, who was awarded second place, and Lorraine Gokey; Extemporaneous Reading, Marion Evans, and Rosella Pellock. who won a third place; and Extemporaneous Speaking, Lorraine Gokey and William Jambura.

During the next few months the popularity of the Tales so increased that it was decided to publish an eight-page, printed commencent issue. Catherine Dorsey and Virginia Marvin were named Associate Editors. Because the paper was such a marked success, a course in Journalism was opened in September with Miss Bergen as Instructor, and from the members of this class the following staff was selected: Virginia Marvin, Editor-in-Chief; Karl Linzenmeyer, Business Manager; Edward Branstetter, Make-up Editor; Francis Schaufenbil, Literary Editor; Sterling Williver, Sports Editor; Clarence Cherrier, Humor Editor; Kermit Turtcher, Staff Typist; and Charles Allen, Edith Ballantine, James Drake, Joseph DuCharme, and Marguerite Voth acted as Staff Writers. Vliss Bergen was appointed faculty Adviser. Several members of the staff, accompanied by Miss Bergen, attended the N. S. P. A. covent ion in Chicago in December, and returned with boundless enthusiasm to make Prairie Doc; Tales an even greater success. Their opportunity was limited, however, for due to the expense of an annual, the last few issues of the paper were sacrificed. The success of Prairie Doc; Tales was definitely established when it was given a First Class Honor rating by the National Scholastic Press Association. ■H EH ThirtY-spvcn The Prairif.

At the present time the Prairie clu Chien schools hoast of two well equipped libraries, one in the High School building for the Junior and Senior High Schools, and one in the grade building for the pupils of the first six Grades. T he High School Library contains over five thousand reference and general reading hooks. The State Library Department has ranked it among the best school libraries in the State of Wisconsin. Each year the latest hooks in each subject are added to the library. All these books are catalogued and arranged according to the Dewey Decimal system. A group of twelve girls specially trained in library technique act as assistants to Miss Patterson, the Librarian, seven in the High School library and five in the Grade library. During the past two years the library staff has re-marked all the books and checked them on the shelves with the shelf list and the accession record. The library aims to he of direct benefit to every department in the school by offering a source of additional knowledge to each subject. In compliance with the State Library law, all students in their first year in high school are given a course in library methods, which teaches them how to use books, and how to find information in a library.

It dates back to 1925, when it was the Forum Club. At that time a group of students organized it for the purpose of increasing interest in Latin. Students registered in any Latin class were eligible for membership. This year the Club drew up a new constitution and was re-named the Latin Club. At a mixer in September, the new Latin students were welcomed into the organization. There were forty members in the Club. Regular meetings were held every third week. The biggest event on the Latin Club calendar was the Roman banquet held late in the season. This affair has become a tradition in the Club, and this year new features were added. An entire Roman menu was served by 'slaves' in togas, while Roman costumes and customs prevailed throughout. 'Flic entertainment later consisted of a clever presentation of a Roman play. The Latin Club has always played an important part in the school’s activities and this year it lias been able to do much toward accomplishing its original aim, that of promoting the popularity of Latin among the students. The officers were, Irene Hildebrand, President; Margaret Billings, Vice-President; and Dorothy Noble, Secretary. Much credit goes to Miss Bredesen whose work as Adviser helped make the Club’s activities the success they were. Thirty-nine ? Tiik Prairif. Doc 5 Top Row: Marie Doser, William Allen, Rose Geisler.

Although progress was necessarily slow because the band was an entirely new organization, the students were willing to work, and doing so helped make the real hand the school now has. This year, under the supervision of Mr. Kavanagh, the band has increased until it numbers twenty-three members who can boast of a more than basic music knowledge. During the first semester any chance early bird, upon entering school, was greeted hv various strains, squeaks, and groans issuing from the band room. The second semester saw a change both in time for practice, and in the elimination of all suggestions of squeaking and groaning. The band met in the afternoon for an hour of real music. Works of famous composers are now’ heard, as well as the original “America”. The band is made up of clarinet, cornet, saxophone, trombone, alto, baritone, and double bass horns. It has willingly donated its services at many basketball, baseball, and football games during the past two years, where it was greatly instrumental in increasing the pep of the student body. For their band work the members received one-fourth credit. This group has put in a year of intensive study and diligent practice and has gained considerably in both size and strength.

Both were generous in offering their services, and during the year programs were not complete without the appearance of one of these popular groups. The members of the sextette were Claramae Kennedy and Dorothy Evans, sopranos; Marian Evans and Rosella Pellock, second sopranos; and Anita Haupt and Lucille Evans, altos. These girls represented the school at the Music Festival in La Crosse on April 9, where they sang three unaccompanied selections, which merited them first honor rating from among the twelve schools competing. The Boys’ Quartette was composed of Joseph DuCharme, first bass: Donald Cherrier, second bass; Laurence Strauman, second tenor; and Clarence Cherrier, first tenor. They also appeared at the La Crosse Festival and shared with the girls in receiving first rating. Both the Sextette and Quartette were featured in a delightful college scene at the Spring Music Festival held in the Auditorium April 28. The Quartette also appeared in a plantation scene which won them much favorable comment. Only one member of the Quartette will he lost through graduation, namely Clarence Cherrier. Two second sopranos w ill have to be added to the Sextette next year, for both Marian Evans and Rosella Pellock will graduate. Forty-one The Prairie Doc “Heard melodies are sweet Those unheard are sweeter. ' r|M1 IS quotation might have been inspired by the Boys’ Glee Club which was A organized the second semester. For months they were unable to overcome that dread of appearing before the public. At their first meeting they had elected as officers William Bush, President, and Harold Downing, Secretary, hut from then until late in April a veil of mystery seemed to enshroud their activities. Vague rumors were heard that the hoys were hard at work on the lolga Boatman and the Brils of St. Mary's. It was also said that the Glee Club was to appear at the Spring Music Festival. Everyone expectantly awaited the time when they should hear the organization that was the most talked of hut least heard from in the High School. And then the big day came. The hopes and expectations were fully realized, for those months of rehearsal had surely borne fruit. The hoys received many comments on the talent displayed on that occasion. With the proceeds from tlie Spring Festival the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs held a party. It was feared that the hoys’ hashfulness would prevent them from attending hut strange to say, that trait was not apparent at this affair. The party w as a great success.

Girls' Glee Club ANY of the school activities were given a musically distinctive air by the Girls’ Glee Club. The charm and cheer of these competent carrolers under the supervision of the music department head. Miss Peaschek, deserve special thanks from the students. The club has a chorus of more than forty voices, and on practice days each week strains of impromptu concerts were wafted from the music room. The Glee Club won well merited praise in a number of song programs. They were frequent entertainers at the Literary Society meetings and were often called upon to sing for assembly programs. I hey also appeared at the Art Exhibit program on October 22. During the debate season they added a touch of brightness to the serious matter of debating and at the Forensic Contest on April 5 the girls appeared as a special feature. On April 28 the members of the Glee Club starred in the Music Festival. They presented three selections. Six Weeks Old, Lolita, and lie Bridal Chorus. That genuine effort in study and practice had been expended was made evident by the ease and charm with which these numbers were given. As President, Marian Evans directed the activities of the club throughout the year. She was assisted by llene Steinberg, Vice-President, and Rosella Pel lock. Librarian.

Orchestra QEVERAL years ago an orchestra was a regular feature of the High School Music Department, but with the organization of the band tlie work of the orchestra was suspended. Not until the second semester of this year was it reorganized. Since that time it lias rapidly achieved success. After a few preliminary showings before the assembly, the orchestra made its first public appearance at the Physical Education Demonstration March 12. On April 28 a Music Festival was held in which all the organizations of the Music Department participated. The orchestra contributed several selections, the most outstanding of which was perhaps the Columbia Overture by Zamenik. A violin trio consisting of Robert Gremore, Rosella Pellock, and Anita llaupt was selected from the orchestra. I bis group also appeared on the program at the Festival. Their most popular selection was a medley of beautiful old waltzes. Waltz Memories arranged by Colby. The other members of the orchestra besides the above mentioned violinists were William Allen, Irvin Benish, Carol Collins, Douglas Collins, Weston Day, Marie Doser, Helen Downing, Dorothy Evans, Pauline Lathrop, Francis Schau-fenbil and Lawrence Zable. Miss Peaschek acted as Director. Although handicapped by their late organization tin orchestra was able to entirely fulfill its aim that of making this group one of tlie prominent organizations of the school.

Watopapiwi Campfire T HE Watopapiwi campfire is not a new organization in the school as it has been in existence since 1923. During these years the campfire ideals have not changed, and the watch word, “Wohelo , symbolic of the words work, health, and love, the things for which campfire girls strive, still remains the same. This year Marian Evans was elected President; Virginia Marvin, Secretary; and Dorothy Evans, Treasurer. Miss Edwards acted as Guardian and Misses Garrity and Bredesen as Assistant Guardians. Campfire ceremonials are extremely interesting. These occur once a month sometimes at school, but more often, when the weather permits, in the hills nearby. Here the group is able to carry out all the original Indian ideas of the Campfire, for it is on these occasions that the Indian ceremonial gown and beaded head band are worn. An event which the girls always look forward to with much pleasure is their annual camping trip in the Spring. In their cottage on McGregor Heights they get a chance to show their ability as real campfire girls—to “glorify work by building their own fires and preparing their own meals. The Senior members who are graduating this year unanimously agree on one point—that the organization in which they have had the best times and which they will miss the most, is the Watopapiwi campfire.

Their code includes the seven national by-laws or guides: ’’Seek Beauty, (rive Service, Pursue Knowledge. Be Trustworthy, Hold on to Health. Glorify ork. and Be Happy. I he activities carried on by the campfire were many. There were regular monthly meetings or ceremonials at which all business matters of the campfire were discussed, followed by delicious spreads prepared and served hv the girls themselves. In place of one of the w inter ceremonials the time was devoted to distributing charity baskets to the poor of the city. In the spring there were hobo hikes with meals cooked out-of-doors. Everyone was active in preparing the meals, for this is a part of every Campfire girl’s training. Probably the most popular activity of the year was the week-end trip to McGregor Heights. A cottage was rented and the girls did all the housework. Gay times were reported by this happy group. This year's officers were: Carolyn Geisler, President: Anita Haupt. Vice- President: and Marie Cardin. Secretary-Treasurer. The Sunowa Campfire will lose many members, including its President and Secretary-Treasurer, became of graduation. This loss will be keenly felt and the graduating members are all sorry to leave behind the good times they had as members of the Campfire. F orty-six Top Row: Gertrude Roth. Betty Chilson. May Pier.

Aa-Wa-Ki-A Campfire AT the beginning of the school term, the Aa-Wa-Ki-A Campfire girls selected ‘ Hold on to Health”, one of the laws of the campfire, as their motto. Since then their loyalty to this motto has been constant. In carrying out their year's program, out-of-doors activities were prefered by this fun-loving group as a means of living up to their motto. An early morning hike with breaktast afterward was a popular form of entertainment. The campfire was built by the girls and soon savory breakfast dishes were sizzling over the fire. In this way the girls gained much practical experience as well as fun through their outings. Several moonlight hikes were included in the program, and these were real treats culminating in either marshmallow toasts or weiner roasts. During the winter a sleigh ride party proved to be a red letter event. Miss Cilligan, Guardian, and Miss Macauley, Assisstant Guardian, entertained the girls on this occasion. The Valentine ceremonial was another festive affair. The table decorations blended with the spirit of the day and aided a great deal in adding to the atmosphere of gayety. Late in the season a glorious week-end trip was held at McGregor Heights, where the girls employed their Campfire knowledge to their hearts' content. Fhe laws of the Campfire, and especially their motto, “Hold on to Health ', have now become a part of their actual living. Forty-seven The Prairie Doc Bits from the Year's Activities HE school year of 1931-32 has been one of marked changes in the extra- curricular activities of Prairie High, coupled with amazing progress in all activities. Many new organizations have been added in order that the particular talents of each individual might be developed through some medium of expression. Interest in activities has been greatly increased this year due to the activities’ fund system. By paying dues of ten cents per week, each student received a pass which admitted him to all school functions which he was formerly, perhaps, financially incapable of attending. The activities’ fund has also financed many entertainments which would otherwise have been impossible. The Literary Society has been another source of interest formerly unknown to the High School. Through this organization all the various clubs such as Forensics, Dramatics, Music, etc., which make up the Literary Society, were made more active than before, each vying with the others for supremacy in the society. Among other features which have broadened school life this year were the newly organized Journalism class, and the publication of the school paper. Prairie Dog Tales. Debating, begun in 1931, was carried on with remarkable success. The Band, Orchestra, and Boys’ Glee Club are recent additions to the Music Department. In recalling the highlights of the year’s events one must not forget the Art Exhibit which was held during the week of October 19-23, with that clever comedy, “Art, Where Art Thou?” presented bv the Dramatic Club on October 22. On February 22 a program was held in honor of Washington and Lincoln. 1 he winners of the George Vi ashington Essay Contest were announced at that time. irginia Marvin receiving a gold medal for first place in the high school and Francis Schaufenbil a similar award in silver for second place. A few weeks later, on March 12, the Physical Education Demonstration was held in the gymnasium. Every available seating space was filled, and hundreds of eager spectators crowded the doors and aisles to see this unusual event. Drills, tumbling, dancing, stunts, relays, and countless other features held the undivided attention of the crowd. The last few months of the school year were crowded with programs and entertainments of many kinds. The Senior Class Play, The King Rides By”, given April 8. was proclaimed by many as the finest dramatic production ever presented at the High School. In swift succession followed “A Night in Music Land given by the music organizations of the school on April 28: a ashington Bi-Centennial program on April 29 in which the students from Campion, St. Mary's, and the High School took part and at which the prize essays were read: the Prom May 6. the decorations of which represented a romantic colonial garden; and iast, but not least.

Mr. Clark, the athletic Director, has, since the introduction of the Club, acted as Moderator. At the first meeting of the organization this fall Marlowe W aller was elected President: Clarence Lechnir Vice-President: and Bernard Kennedy was chosen as Secretary and Treasurer. There were twenty-three members. In the two years of the Club's existence it has grown from a place of insignificance to one of distinction and has already established two traditions in the school an annual minstrel show and an athletic banquet. This year's Minstrel, under the direction of Philip Nugent '26. with Mr. Clark as Master of Ceremonies was one of those clever entertainments not soon forgotten. The Club was singularly honored this year when Dr. Spears, the football roach at Wisconsin University, acted as speaker at the annual Athletic Banquet on May 12. The gymnasium was fittingly decorated for the occasion and an elaborate four course dinner was served. Mr. Kennedy acted as Toast Master, calling on Dr. Spears, Mr. Clark, and Marlowe Waller. The privilege of meeting and hearing a noted coach will always be for the boys a cherished memory. The members of the Letter Club may well feel proud of their organization and of the distinctive honor signified by membership in the Club. Forty-ninr The Pkaikik Doc Top Row: Mr. Smith. Williver.

This year was no exception as was shown by the fact that the team defeated Campion by a score of 11-7. This was the first time in the history of the school that a Prairie team had beaten its home town opponent in baseball. The game was well attended, and showed that cooperation and enthusiasm on the part of the students helps develop a fighting spirit necessary to win in any form of contest.

Football The season of 1931 was one in which the boys met with slid' competition, and, even though the team was the lightest ever to take the held in the history of the school, they carried through all games with a spirit characteristic of Prairie teams a willingness to give their best at all times. When only four of last year’s lettermen returned, the coach was obliged to construct from inexperienced material a team capable of handling the toughest schedule ever faced by a Prairie squad. In spite of these many hardships and handicaps, Coach Clark and the team established a record by finishing tiie season with only fifteen lettermen. This means that there were only fifteen men who bore the brunt of the battles during the fall of 1931. npHK spirit of sportmanship displayed on the gridiron was worthy of the best A traditions of the school. It is easy to be a good sport on the winning side but few teams can show the same spirit when meeting defeat. Without this spirit of sportsmanship and fair play, more lasting than the memories of victories and defeats, football would have perished long ago. Fifty-one Tiif. Prairie Doc; Top Row: Mr. Smith.

The events open %vere: the one-hundred yard dash, the two-twenty, the four-forty, the cight-eighty, the mile run,, the discus, the shot put, the pole vault, and the broad jump. Only three meets were scheduled. They were with Wau-zeka. Campion, and the Campion Juniors. At Campion the team was out-classed. At Wauzeka and against the Campion Juniors, although beaten, the defeat was only by a small margin and after a hard fight. These reverses were not a result of lack of spirit, hut rather, a lack of experience. The past year, under the guiding hands of Coach Smith, the team showed steady improvement. Some twentv-five track enthusiasts tried for the team. Only two letter men returned. hut with several of the last year's team who made less than ten points on the list, the group was moulded into a strong team. On May 14 Prairie participated in the district track meet at La Crosse. The track team has made rapid strides toward progress during the past year and promises to be a future leader in sports. It has alreadv become one of the most popular athletic activities on the campus. Fifty-tuo The Prairie Doc Top Row: Mr. Dark. F. Ahrens. I echnlr. Wllllver. Bottom Row: WIhwrII, Waller. Downing.

I lie fact that Prairie won but three out of nineteen games, does not prove that tin team was inefficient. The team battled against some of the best high school teams in the state such as Campion, Eau Claire, and La Crosse Central, and although they did lose, the margin was close. The schedule for the season of 1931-32 was as follows: P. . S. P. . S.

Boardman. Lech- nir, alant, and iswall. Ahrens. a Her, and Boardman were graduated this year. The loss of all three will he keenly felt, especially aller, who was outstanding by his consistent scoring. Fifty-three The Prairie Doc; Football Summary fT'HF season of 1931 opened with bright prospects for a good team. Some thirty-five students reported for practice the first week, but most of these men had never played football before. Four lettermen of ’30 returned to form a nucleus for the new team. The high expectations of the coaches were short lived, however, for in a few weeks the squad had dwindled to two teams. It also developed that the squad averaged little over 150 pounds, a handicap which proved a deciding factor in nearly every game played. Coach Clark worked hard for two weeks before the opening of school to develop a speed that would olTset the shortage in weight. On September 29 the team took the field against its first opponent. Fan Claire. Though the hoys were light they had the fighting spirit that stopped the heavy intruders in their tracks. Not until the third quarter could the “Old Abes” score. The game ended 7-0 in favor of Fan Claire. The next two games were of lesser importance hut they also ended in defeat. At Richland Center poor playing and over-confidence resulted in a 28-0 reverse. At Portage the following week a heavy and experienced team soon showed their mettle by whipping Prairie 13-7. The stellar playing of Captain Waller made the lone touchdown possible. The second home game of the season was played with Boscobel—a game the team had been keyed up to all season, eager to take revenge for last year’s defeat. Prairie’s goal was never seriously threatened in this game, while the boys were continually knocking at the gates of victory. Time after time the Gold came near a touchdown only to be turned back with a few feet to go. A pass, Billings to Waller, gave Prairie one lone touchdown, and with it the game. On October 25 the team visited Viroqua and was defeated by a far heavier machine, 19-6. Again the exceptional playing of Waller gained the only touchdown. The Aquinas’ game a week later, with defeat for Prairie 12-0, was to the opponents scarcely the victory they expected. The last scheduled game was w ith Logan High of La Crosse and it resulted in a 30-0 defeat for Prairie. The post-season game with the Alumni, contrary to expectations, proved to be one of the best of the year. Though Prairie threatened the goal many times they were unable to score until late in the game when Bily intercepted a pass and with the aid of Captain Waller turned it into a touchdown. The final score was 6-0 in favor of Prairie. The season was not one of startling and sensational victories, hut it was more than that a season gratifying in its expression of the true spirit of the game, and in the realization of permanent achievement. fifty-four The Prairie Dog Intra-Murals T HE intra-mural sports program was instituted during 1931-32. This extra-curricular activity means recreation for every hoy in the school. The sports that have been included are: touch football, boxing and wrestling, basketball, volley hall, and track. There is a large field for this activity, and the time ami interest shown will make way for further development. Promising athletes have been discovered through this medium of intra-mural sports. Following is a list of the champions in the various sports for 1932. TOUCH FOOTBALL Kennedy, Bernard, Capt. tllier, Leo Teynor, Laurence Marvin.

Olpra Sletmark, Hildebrand. McClure. Michel, Hare, E. White, Valant, L. Evans, Gremore. Girls' Athletics t ASKETBALL was the favorite form of athletics for iris this year. One team was selected from each class to play a Round Robin tournament, which created much interest in the entire school. The co-captains of these teams were. Seniors, Rosella Pellock: Juniors, Olga Sletmark; Sophomores, Myrle Hare; and Freshmen, Jean Hahn. While the games were all very close the Sophomore team soon proved their superiority over the other classes by winning all but one game. Their defeat came at the hands of the Seniors, who, though of low tournament standing, surprised everyone by ringing up a total of 9 points while the Sophomores were able to make only 3. But. though decisively defeated in this game, the Sophomores were not prevented from winning the tournament. Among other sports in which the girls participated were soccer, volley hall, track ami field, and baseball. There were no tournaments for these events. The outstanding volley hall player was Evelyn Gremore. Betty Garvey and Eileen Cooper carried away many honors in track and field. The baseball season brought Velma Evert and Frances Schneider to the limelight, while Anita Haupt and Norma Michel proved to be stars in soccer. Competition was keen, however, in all the sports. It has been interesting and gratifying to note the enthusiasm for athletics Miss Gilligan, the Coach, has so successfully established among the girls. Fifty-six F=E=A=T=U=R=E=S The Prairie Doc Trees “Poems are made by fools like me. Hut only God can make a tree.” TN the presence of trees one finds peace, quiet, and inspiration—peace with the - - world peace with God. Trees have a fascination for us that abides as long as we live. The coining of the leaves on the bare branches heralds the coining of spring. The deep green of the foliage is restful to the eyes, and the red and gold of the autumn woods is one of the unsurpassed glories of nature. Years, sacred with many a mystery, bring to the ancient oak, not the feebleness of age, but increasing glory and majesty. Generations of men succeed one another, and simple folk, to whose fathers’ remotest fathers the giant tree has been immemorial, could only conjecture that it has stood since the beginning of time. In the mythology of ancient Greece and Rome, trees were regarded as the abodes of sylvan deities the dryads and satyrs. Gentle and lovely tree spirits have haunted the fancies of many other peoples. Even down to our day, legend, poetic fancy, and homely old proverbs cluster thicker than leaves about our familiar trees. It was in the year 1620 that a picturesque group of English pilgrims set sail for America. Adventurous in spirit, they dared to boast that they would bravely withstand the hardships they knew to be inevitable in the new country. As they landed, they gazed with indifference at the wilderness before them, never realizing that the trees that stood therein would be their chief means of support; that from them would result a great American lumber industry, an equally important paper industry, and future means of communication and transportation. The dependence of the early settlers upon trees is passed on to us. Our history is written with trees. Every forward step in our historic march of progress was made possible by trees. America is iioav facing a crisis. Her virgin forests are disappearing. There is still a chance, however, to avert timber famine for us and those that follow. The Federal Government leads in forestry work. It has established a department whose Avork has to do with the growing and protecting of forests. Wisconsin leads the states in this movement for reforestation. We can participate in this w'ork by properly celebrating Arbor Day, the day set aside each year for instilling in the hearts of American men and women an appreciation of the beauty and value of trees. Trees have been an inspiration to many men. The late Joyce Kilmer, at one time a frequent visitor at Campion College of Prairie du Chien, derived the inspiration for his most famous poem from the environments, from the beauties of this inland city set on the shores of the “Father of Waters”, and nestled in the valley that lies between the wooded hills of Iowa and Wisconsin; and upon this poem we have based the theme of our annual.

The Ritz, New York City May 10, 1942 Dear Anita: Here I am in New York again after two years’ travel. I was delighted to find your letter last week, telling me of our old friends, especially the members of the class of ’32, and their reunion banquet, to be held at home June the ninth. I shall be very glad to sing with the ’32 sextette at that time. I too have some news for you about that class. While in Paris last month, 1 decided to get the very latest in clothes. I entered a shop and nearly dropped dead when Virginia Marvin greeted me. She has one of the most exclusive dress shops in Paris, and Helen Downing and Mable Forde are her two best mannequins. She told me that Frank Ahrens was in Hollywood making pictures. Funny how things turn out. 1 always had the impression that Frank would stick to the farm. I was terribly surprised to hear that Willis Evert would teach physics at Prairie High, and Caroline Ellis, shorthand. But when I heard that John Fagan was teaching Manual Arts, and Clarence Cherrier was the band instructor, it was the last straw. While touring in Scotland, I ran into Francis Schaufenbil. He said that business was so bad in the states that be was now selling golf balls to the Scots. So Melvin Biehl is running for Governor! I do hope he gets in. 1 ran into his friend Donald Glynn in China. He has quite a mission school there. My sister Marian has just completed her third book. The title of it is— “Comments on Bobbed Hair.” In her last letter she said that Marlowe Waller is coach at Notre Dame. Have you heard anything about Rosella Pelloek? I saw her last month in England. She is quite a stage success and has in her chorus three of her old classmates, Norma Michel, Helen Oestrich and Virginia Cornford. 1 am so glad that James Drake, the same James Drake that we went to school with, is a Senator now, for he has great possibilities. Such a sudden rise to fame! As for some of the other girls, Pauline Lathrop is playing with Ted Weems’ orchestra. Carmen Campbell and Elizabeth Fluke are ticket takers at River-view Park in Chicago. Marie Heisz and Mildred Mara have very good secretarial positions in New York. Frances Schneider and Marie White are clerks in a shoe store in Charme. You remember those gills who always bail to eat cold lunches at noon because they lived so far from school? Well, they’ve opened up a hot lunch counter at school, and I think a special vote of thanks should be given them at the banquet. Their names in case you have forgotten are—Ruth Campbell, Carrie Ocenosak, May Becwar, and Agnes Valley. Sixty The Prairie Doc Who would have thought that Robert Billings and William Alien would he doctors in a big Cat and Dog Hospital? Not me I’m sure. And Ona Wain-wright is head nurse. Their headquarters are in Boston. I intend to call on them soon (cats and dogs too). So Stuart Asche and Bill Bush sell lish together! They always did like anything that had to do with the river. What happened to llene Steinberg and Arthur Valley? Both Vivian Sandleback and Frances Jolinsrude have married and live in Bridgeport. They surely won’t have to spend much money for carfare to get to the banquet, will they? Did you know' that Clifford Standorf joined the police force? And that Edward Branstetter is world champion speedboat racer? I saw him at Monte Carlo. 1 think that the best joke of all is the way in which Earl Linzenmeyer ran Wayne King out of business with his orchestra. Mary Perrine and her husband are living in St. Paul. Remember how he used to call for her every noon when she was a Senior? Sterling Williver is an understudy for one of the Marx brothers. 1 hear John Boardman joined the Navy. I wonder why. Could it have been a •‘woman”? Thelma Valley is still Mr. Clark’s secretary. I saw them in China. Mr. Clark is teaching football to the legless veterans of the Chinese War—ye gods! For heaven’s sake what ever became of Harold White and Herbert Wen-iger? I can account for all the other members of that class but them. Did you know that Dolores Valley and Evelyn Greinore are teaching American dancing in Honolulu to the hula-hula dancers? Is Marie Cardin still debating on the state team? And Carolyn Geisler does she have her beauty shop in Prairie yet? I have just finished reading Ralph Kellogg’s latest hook. The title is “Via Wire”. Phyllis Meyer is tutoring in England. Do you suppose she w ill come all the way over here for the banquet? As for some of the others, Bernard Kennedy is selling peanuts for some charity organization, and Raymond Copper has a bicycle factory in Ferryville. Robert Gremore runs a ferry boat on the old Mississippi. Francis Kneeland has a rising cheese factory in Rising Sun. I just saw by The Courier that Joseph Kovanda is a prize-fight promoter, and Geraldine Noggle is doing all his publicity work. Now that I have told you all the news concerning the Class of ’32, I will close with best wishes for a wonderful banquet. As for myself, I have not changed a hit and am still the same old classmate. —Dorothy Evans. Sixty two The Prairie Dog Riddle Me These! A man can’t die in the last moment of his life because lie is still alive, and he can’t die in the first moment of his death because he is already dead. Now the first moment of death and the last moment of life are instantaneous. Therefore a man cannot die. Either it rains or it doesn't rain. It doesn’t rain, therefore it rains. Curiosity killed a eat, but what we would like to find out is—what did the eat want to know? Another tiling we’d like to know is—why they put holes in Swiss cheese when it’s the limberger that needs the ventilation. Song Catalog You re My Everything.................

Ere Man learnd To hew the shaft, and lay the architrave, And spread the roog above them,—ere he framed The lofty vault, to gather and roll back The sound of anthems; in the darkling wood, Amid the cool and silence, he knelt down. And offers to the Mightiest solemn thanks And supplication. —Forest Hymn by Wm. Cullen Bryant.
