Tiif. 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.
