The Prairie Dog Sophomore Class History HEN the present Sophomore Class began tlieir high school career in the fall of 1930 their first officers were Delores Brannon, President; Edith Ballantine, Vice-President; and Raymond Bilv, Secretary and Treasurer. 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.
