They have been a group of leaders. The records of their active participation in scholastic and extra-curricular events are now the history of four successful years in Prairie du Chien High School. Mentors! Their Class Motto, Nineteen thirty-four-ward” illustrates the progressive spirit of the group. Their artistic discrimination is shown in their choice of a class flower the sweet pea, and the class colors blue and white. Since their Freshman year the Seniors have been a happy, jolly, group that knew how to combine work and play. They have enjoyed the freedom of Seniors hut they have seriously accepted the responsibilities that their last year in High School demanded. The staff of Prairie Doc, in behalf of the Faculty, the Seniors, Juniors, and underclassmen of 35, hid this Class of 34 farewell with sincere regrets and wishes each member true success and happiness. President Vice-President Secretary-Treasurer William Jambura Martin Kozelka Marguerite Voth Yum Marty Rete rPHERK is an old Chinese proverb which says that “The gods cannot help a man who loses opportunities. When the .Muses saw fit to bring the members of the Class of ’34 into I ime, they must have let drop from their vial of wisdom an ample amount of the spirit of this proverb.

The Freshman year w'as a quiet one, except lor the Mixer, but proved that the Freshman class was not to he ignored. As Sophomores this class lead in many activities. Several members of the class were on the staff of Prairie Dog Tales, namely, Edith Ballantine and Marguerite Votli. When the Junior year rolled around, the class elected the following officers: Raymond Bily, President; James Wiswall, Vice-President; and Margaret Billings, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Bergen was the class adviser. The outstanding event of the year was the Prom. I he Grand March was lead by Raymond Bily, the Prom King, and the Prom Queen, Margaret Billings. Knowing that great things were before them as Seniors, the class elected its officers early last fall. William Jambura was made President; Martin Ko-zelka, Vice-President: and Marguerite Noth, Secretary-Treasurer. Miss Garrity was class adviser. The majority of the Annual and Newspaper Staff members are Seniors. They held responsible positions as editors, reporters, business managers, and typists. The Senior members were, Edith Ballantine, Joseph DuCharine, Harold Kolbe, May Pier, Charles Allen, Margaret Devenport, Delbert LaBonne, Irene Hildebrand, Meta Valant, Myron Bundrock, James Paris, and Beatrice Gilbertson. The Literary Society has sixteen Senior members and a Senior President, William Jambura. All the various Forensic clubs were lead by members of the Senior class. The hoys of the class who have been conspicuous in athletic events are: Benda, Bundrock, Ertle, Horal, Horkheimer, Kolbe, Jambura, The LaBonne twins, Maxwell, Miller, Paris, Ryan, Sehaub, Steiner, and Wiswall. The American Legion medal, which is annually presented by the Legion to the outstanding athlete of the school, this year W'ent to James Wiswall. In the Girls’ Athletic Association the following girls were active: Myrl Hare, the Secretary and Treasurer of the organization, Margaret Billings, Lucille Evans, Rose Geisler, Beatrice Gilbertson, May Pier and Meta Valant. The Senior Class Play, “Shirt Sleeves,” was such an unusual success that it was necessary to give a second production. It was originally given on April 19 and, because of numerous requests, was again presented in the evening of May 29. Marguerite Votli was the Honor Student; Edith Ballantine was chosen Valedictorian; and Clement Ryan wras the Salutatorian of ’34. Marguerite Votli had the highest average for the four years of high school. The Valedictorian and Salutatorian w'ere chosen from among the ten highest average students. The ten were: Edith Ballantine, Rose Geisler, Myrl Hare, Irene Hildebrand, Rose Kalina, Martin Kozelka, Clement Ryan, Gilbert Steiner, Ethel Toubl, and Marguerite Votli.

C()MK people grow under respon- sibilitv, others merely swell.” As a elass the Juniors belong to the former type. They have assumed the responsibilities of Juniors and retained the unostentatious demeanor of Sophomores. As Freshmen these Juniors were regarded as a very quiet and submissive group. These qualities have since Now this elass is not all virtue. There are members who still feel that to get out of a task is far better than to get it. 1 hen too, their quietness has sometimes caused faculty members to surmise that the 8:45 hell may perhaps have a paralyzing effect upon the tongues of certain members. What do you say. Juniors? The future of the Junior Class is no speculation. They have determination and, as a whole, they are very willing to work, and work hard, for what they get. They have cooperated splendidly in all activities of the school. Their successful Class play and delightful Prom prove that they are well able to shoulder responsibility. As the Class of 35 the Juniors can he depended upon to set their mark high and to reach it.

In the course of three years, however, they have demonstrated the fact that they are anything hut meek. When the group was called together for the first time, they vested executive powers of their class in a girl Claraniae Kennedy. Harvey Ahrens was chosen Vice-President and Ervin Benisli, Secretary. They struggled valiantly through the Freshman Mixer, a strenuous initiation pressed upon them by the upper classmen. They pushed through jungles of English and science, and emerged from the tangle in June, much better for their experience. The only social aflair sponsored by the Class was a Freshman-Sophomore party, given in return for the Mixer. They came hack in the fall, much the wiser for their experiences of the past year. At the first class meeting Harvey Ahrens was elected President; Ervin Benisli, Vice-President; and Eugene Koecke, Secretary. It was their great pleasure to entertain the freshmen at a mixer, and torture them as they themselves had previously been. The school year rolled by rapidly and they were set free for three months. Soon, however they were hack in school. Their election was to he an important one—that of the Prom King. The honor was bestowed upon Harry Randall, one of the most popular boys of the class. Harvey Ahrens was elected to the Y ice-Presidency and the Secretaryship was bestowed upon Ervin Benisli. In these three years several members of the class have made enviable records for themselves. Claraniae Kennedy has been a member of the sextette since her freshman year. Harry Randall and Robert Evans have also distinguished themselves in the musical field as members of the octette. Others have become members of the hand. Many members of the class have joined various clubs, distinguished themselves in forensics, and taken part in social activities. In the fall the production Heart I rouble was successfully presented as the class play. Among those who have done outstanding work in athletics are Cooper, Koecke, Randall, Seleli, Cardin, Goddin, Enke, and Allen. “Red” Evans has been athletic manager since his Freshman year. Jean Hahn is the President of the Girls Athletic Association of which several other Juniors are members. There has continually been an excellent representation of the class on the Honor Roll. I he major event in the life of the Juniors was the annual Junior Promenade. 'I'lie guests were invited to dance on board a palatial liner in mid-ocean to the pleasing rhythm of Bus” Canfield and his orchestra. The captain, Harry Randall, ably piloted bis ship through the troubled waters of the preprom season and on the evening of the event acted as King, leading the grand march with his chosen Prom Queen, Claraniae Kennedy. Twenty-six Prairie Don Sophomores A CCORDI.NG to tradition and upper classmen, the Sophomores are meek creatures who have put away their Freshmen toys and are waiting patiently for tlie glory that should he theirs as Juniors. ‘’Not so,” say the Sophomores of tins year and point with pride to their records. Scholastically, the Sophomores were good students. On the honor roll consistently were the following: Angela Benda, Mary Grace Day, Norine Fagan, Agnes Gillitzer, Cyril Honzel, and Alene Weightier. In common sense, these Sophomores also scored when they placed the responsibilities of their class in tlie hands of York Crawford as President; Alene Weightier, Vice-President; and Mary Grace Day, Secretary-Treasurer. Mr. Clark was the class Adviser. In athletics these students have made a fine showing. Robert Johnson and Robert Wainwright made the basketball team. Lloyd Caya, York Crawford, and Robert Linzenmeyer, as substitutes, showed promise of being next year’s regulars. Robert Johnson also did some line football playing. Socially, the Sophomores showed on September 16, that they knew how to initiate the Freshmen. The entire school was invited to attend the allair. After the Freshmen had been formally introduced and made to perform many amusing antics, dancing was held in the upper corridor. Top Row: York Crawford, Mary Grace Day. Uoyd Caya.

As Freshmen, they undertook and successfully presented an English comedy, “Goose for the Goslings.” Such initiative is unique in the history of Freshmen classes. The Sophomore Home room officers of the past year were: Mary Grace Day, Gale Asche, and Cyril 11 ouzel—President, Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer respectively, of home room one. Robert Wainwright, Roy George, and Dorothy Bachtell, were the respective President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer of home room two. The Music department was enriched by the Sophomore class. Many members were in the Roys and Girls’ Glee Clubs. Robert Johnson and Du-Wain Clayton were members of the Octette; Robert Gokey played clarinet in the hand; and six members of the class Mary Grace Day, Cyril Honzel, Dorothy Marvin, Elmer Russel, Virginia Valant, and Joseph Valley were in the Mixed Chorus. No account of the Sophomores would he complete without saying that the class Home room one, sponsored by Miss Macau ley, was the first Home room in the school to have their activity clues paid in full. This speaks well for the class for the payment of activity dues is not compulsory. It shows a splendid spirit of cooperation in the class. The Sophomores promise to he an interesting and active Junior class when they return next fall.

Jfresfjmen MBITIOUS, pleasant, and courteous are the Freshmen. They have by their determined demeanor, defied the proverbial belief that Freshmen must he shrinking, cringing, creatures. They were not afraid to match wits with any upper classmen. However, they know their place, and are wisely hiding their time until they can spread their wings over a greater expanse of activities. There are some seventy members in the class. One can see that they do not lack quantity and records show that they have quality. The honor roll proves that. Consistently appearing on the roll were the names of the following: illard Ahrens, Robert Cherrier, Mi hired Eggleston, Roy George, John Gre-more. Faith Hoppe. Rita Johnson, James Kennedy, Marjorie Kieser, Berniet Noble, Bernice Paiilus, Helene Pohhnan, Renada Rick, Doris Sebastian, Mary Steiner, Marie Suhrada, and John Wachter. In Forensics the Freshmen have caused the upper classmen to take notice. One member of the class, Joan Gilbertson, won second place in Humorous Declamations at the League Forensic contest held at Prairie on April 12. Seven other members of the class were enrolled in the Extemporaneous Reading Club, and eight in the Declamatory Club. Who knows hut that these little Freshmen (for they are small) may some day he favorite after-dinner speakers an cl lecturers?

They saw in James Kennedy a little of the executive ability of his father and promptly made him President. Rita Johnson and Charles Lange, Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer respectively, were Jimmie’s able assistants and co-workers. Mr. Smith was the Class Adviser. One finds brawn combined with brains in this class. John Hillings, James Kennedy, and Harry Oestrech were members of the “B basketball squad. In the various music activities the class is well represented. Ten freshmen girls are members of the Girl’s Glee Club; thirteen boys joined the Boys Glee Club: ami three members of the class are in the Mixed Chorus. One of the cheer leaders is a Freshman, Thomas Morel. Tommy also won honors at the Physical Education Demonstration for his tumbling ability. Socially, the Freshmen made their debut at the Mixer given by the Sophomores on September 16. Through all the trials of an initiation, the freshmen showed their pluckiness. They sang songs, danced jigs, and told stories according to the whims of the Sophomores. Prairie High School is expecting great things of this big Freshman class and the Freshmen in turn have given the school every reason to believe that throughout their high school career they will continue to match quality with quantity.

Miss Deary is the teacher and class Adviser. Perhaps the best way to judge a class is to turn to its scholastic record. The eighth grade honor roll for the past year speaks for itself and marks the members of the class as individuals of integrity and scholarship. Those who have been consistently on the honor roll for the past year are: Marie Builders, Dorothy Eggleston, Clarence Hughes, Adeline Koecke, Ila Sebastian, Nellie Schwert, and Lucille Swingle. A further proof of the quality of this class is to he found in the following perfect attendance record, namely: Loren Atchison, Malcolm Brunner.

In the fall when the class was organized, officers were elected. Clarence Benish was chosen President by his classmates. As Vice-President the class elected June kieser; as Secretary, Donald Hill; as Treasurer, Jeanne Baldwin. Their Adviser and teacher, Miss Huff, reports that her students are exceedingly cooperative, honest, ambitious and courteous. To the high school, these facts arc well known for these students have always shown a splendid attitude when they have been requested to boost activities either by participating in them or by advertising them. The members of the class have taken an active part in many school projects. Gordon Wachter was chosen the most popular boy in the Junior High School, because of his athletic ability, scholarship and citizenship. Lucie Ann Godden and Wilma Steinbach are the honor students. Edward Graap, Glen Eber, Gordon Wachter, and Robert aller are the athletes of the class. Among the minor activities participated in and sponsored by these students are poster making and ticket selling, the presentation of original dramatizations, and Junior Red Cross Work. There is a great deal of talent in this group and they promise to be an outstanding class in future years. W.VWWWW.VAV.VWAw.-.vw.vw, Thirty-three rA%VWA MVA%W.VAWWMWWWAW Prairie Dot Junior Jjigfi f HAVE found that one might easily learn the characteristics of the Junior High School pupils by doing a little eavesdropping. While passing down the corridors, I came upon a group of teachers talking. I paused nonchalantly by a fountain and overheard a remark similar to, “Yes, aren’t those Junior High students thoughtful? So often they hold the door for us. They’re the most courteous group in the high school. They always stand aside in the hall to allow their elders to pass.” The teachers are not the only ones who have noticed these qualities. 1 have heard high school students make very similar remarks. As I passed out of doors onto the play-ground, a little hoy ran up to me tearfully exclaiming, “I thought that those patrol hoys were just ‘sissies’, but that big Bud was just after me and this fellow here came an’ chased Bud away. 1 guess he was sent to the office. I didn’t know that patrol boys had so much power.” Everyone is familiar with and praises many similar good deeds performed by the boys. As I reentered the school building 1 came upon a group of upperclassmen chatting in the hallway at recess. The Junior High students were filing by at the moment and 1 heard someone remark, “You know, several of those people are nice little actors. Remember the operetta that was presented by the grades at Christmas time? Really, they did some good acting. And too, they gave that program for Pan-American week. There w’ere some real actors in the crowd. This high school ought to have a real dramatic club and should continue the great work in forensics during the next few years.” When the high school students will comment on such things, one may rest assured that there is some truth in the matter. The merits of the group are even heard of in the business section of the town. The morning after the Kiwanis meeting at which the patrol boys gave a demonstration of tbeir work, 1 walked into a Kiwanian’s office and beard this remark, “That was a fine demonstration that the boys from the Junior High presented to us last evening. They certainly are a wonderful group real policemen. 1 have heard that they have actually saved lives.” After school hours I ventured to the playground in back of the school house and observed an extremely interesting game of baseball, played by the two teams of girls chosen from the Junior High. 1 heard a dignified Senior casually remark, They are fairly good athletes. They ought to make good members for the G. A. A. after we’re gone.” 1 am sure that if I should have continued to prowl around and eavesdrop, 1 would have heard many more words of praise for this group of young people.

The financial success of the book may be credited to the business men of the city who have advertised herein, the generosity of both the Junior and Senior classes, and the activity fund, through which each student in the Junior and Senior High School has received a copy.

The Council, under the direction of William Jambura who, as President of the Senior class, is also President of the Council, passeil a resolution at the beginning of the school Year to reduce the activity dues 25 percent, that is, from S2.40 to S2. I his minimum sum, paid weekly at the Home Room meetings, admitted students to all school activities and provided for a subscription to Prairie Dog Tales, as well as a copy of this annual. The Council is made up of nineteen members: one President and two Home Room Presidents from each class in the High School together with the Presidents of the Seventh and Eighth grades, the four class Advisers, and Mr. Kennedy. These representatives of the student body met regularly each week to discuss and decide the problems of the school. This year, pins were presented to the members of the Council as a mark of honorary distinction to those who were chosen to represent their classmates on the Council.

Boh W achter is Captain, and Boh Ballantine, Assistant Captain. Miss Deary, Eighth grade teacher, is faculty adviser. The primary purpose of the organization is to protect small children coming to and going from school, from careless drivers. 1 he patrol is divided into squads. Before school is called in the morning and afternoon, and at the noon and evening dismissal, certain squads go on duty. Armed with their red stop signs, they caution drivers to drive slowly within the school district. The boys act as overseers on the play ground and report misbehavior to the grade teachers or the Superintendent. They go into the primary grades and teach the pupils traffic regulations and play ground rules. The Patrol also sees that order is maintained at basketball games and other school functions to which the public is invited. The Patrol Boys are very enthusiastic about their work. The discomforts of unfavorable weather conditions, and the taunts of a few. dwindle down to nothing in the view of the good they are able to do. This organization has proved to he of infinite value not only to the school, but to the whole community, because it protects children from ruthless drivers. Much credit for the success of the Patrol goes to Miss Deary. Thirty-iiim Forty Top Row: James Paris. Margaret Hillings. Albert LaBonne. Jean Hahn. Weston Day. Gladys Uechnir. He Roy Irwin.

Besides fulfilling its purpose in an exemplary fashion the Society has been instrumental in the teaching of Parlinientary proceedings. All meetings were conducted in strict Parliamentary style and a student dashing into the library in search of Robert’s “Rules of Orders” was, as a result, no uncommon event. In accordance with a rule of the Society, which states that the President must be a member of the Senior Class, William Jambura was elected President. illiam, who took a great interest in all types of public speaking, made a very active and efficient President. Also in accord with the Club regulations, a Junior, Harry Randall and a Sophomore, York Crawford, were elected Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer, respectively. Freshmen are excluded from offices in the Society. g ! i The Society, which is under the direction of Miss Patterson, is made up of five clubs Dramatic, Declamatory, Extemporaneous Reading and Speaking, Oratory, and Music. At the meetings of the Society, which are held every third Tuesday at 4 :30 p.m., programs presented by the various clubs, follow the regular business meeting. S,.W.,.V.

The Music Club under the direction ol Miss Peaschek has taken an active part in the society this year. Members of this club appeared at each program presented by the society. Public Speaking of any type is often looked upon with horror by many high school students. This, however, is not true in Prairie du Chien. 1 he Literary Society has created such an interest in Forensic activities that approximately half of the student body have joined the Society. Nor are these students members in name only, for admittance into the Society requires each member to join at least one club. Membership in a club, in turn, requires participation by each member in the work sponsored by the Club. Last, but not least, the Literary Society aims to raise scholastic standing. An average of at least “C” in academic subjects is required for admittance. .W.V.V.'.W.V.W.'.V.V.V.V .’.'.'.V. Forty-one WiVAWbWMWArA WA%Wy,.VA,dWUV U'.V.B.W.,.V, AVVAVAVAVAV.WAViV.

It is the largest club in the Society. Miss Garrity is faculty adviser and coach. 1 he Club officers for the past year were: Marguerite Voth, President; Lucille Evans, Vice-President: and Albert LaBonne, Secretary-Treasurer. The officers have all been very active in dramatic work, having appeared in many of the Club productions. The Dramatic Club endeavors to give each member an opportunity to appear in at least one production during the school year. During the past year the Club presented two successful plays. The first. “The Pot Boiler”, a one act comedy was presented before the Literary Society and at the annual Teachers’ Convention at Platteville, Wisconsin. “Pink and Patches”, a highly dramatic play was presented to the student body and to the general public free of charge. The Junior and Senior class plays, “Heart Trouble” and “Shirt Sleeves” were both presented under the direction of the dramatic department and the Dramatic Club. Both plays were very successful from both a dramatic and a financial standpoint. Much credit for the success of the student productions goes to the stage managers, Franklin Schaub, Gilbert Steiner, and James Wiswall.

Hatin Club T HE Latin Club is not a new organization of the High School. It was organ-A izetl in 1925, for tlie purpose of promoting a greater interest in Latin. It was, however, at that time called the Forum Club. The name was changed to ‘‘Latin Club” in 1932. In accordance with the constitution of the Club, meetings were held every third week. Any person who has taken one year of Latin is eligible for membership. Officers of the Club are elected from members of the Second Year Latin class. The officers of this year are: President, Jack Campbell, Vice- President, Raymond Lechnir, Secret ary-Treasurer, Mary Grace Day. This year the Latin Club is so large that meetings are held in the assembly to accomodate all the members. The business meetings are short, and follow’ Parlimentary Procedure very strictly. Discussions at the meetings are interesting and lively, and everyone takes part in them. After the business meetings, there is a short program, followed by a social hour. One of tin most interesting meetings in the history of the Latin Club was one in which the Club had the privilege of hearing a talk by Father Geyser, S. J., of Campion. Father Geyser is a nationally recognized authority on Latin, and has published many Latin books. Father Geyser presented to the Club an autographed copy of his translation of “America” into Latin. This has been framed, and is one of the prized possessions of the Club.

After every business meeting a short program is presented. Miss Macauley, faculty-adviser of the Club, tries to get every member in one program during the course of the year. These programs consist of short readings on the lives of Roman patriots and statesmen, the explanation of Roman mottoes, songs, and a short play. Members of the Club are in charge of each part of the program. The play is dramatized in Latin. It is always one of a not too elaborate nature, so that all the members may understand it. Dramatizations of stories familiar to everyone in the Club are presented. The songs are sung in Latin, and are old favorites, such as k‘ l he Old Oaken Bucket.” These songs are lead by five girls, who sing them first, and are then joined by the rest of the Club. Every program is closed with the singing of the Latin version of “America.” The program is followed by a social hour. Latin games are played, and prizes are awarded to the winners. At every third meeting, the social hour is spent in dancing. The climax of these social affairs is a dancing party held in the gymnasium at the close of the year. Although these social activities are only a secondary part of the organization. they add much to the attractiveness of it. WVWWVWWVWVWWWWW ■V .Vi F or ty-five ,v.v. Prairie ■ i Top Row: Myrl Hare.

At the beginning of the school term six capable girls were selected from the Shorthand and Typing classes to make practical use of their stenographic ability in the office. Marguerite Voth has charge of the office during the first period. She spends much of her time writing permits for tardy students. Myrl Hare takes charge of the second period and her duty is usually typing for teachers. Gladys Lechnir an energetic Junior, is kept busy during the third period. In the afternoon from one to two o’clock Leona Zable usually spends the period stamping tickets for all school activities. During Activity Period Rose Kalina is kept busy counting money from the Activity Fund. The last period of the day Lucille Evans diligently types letters. These girls under the guidance of Miss Ryan, head of the Commercial Department, have done very satisfactory work. They take their work very seriously and Miss Ryan provides them with sufficient assignments to keep busy. A note-book is kept by each office girl.

A bright, (|uiet, and orderly room, it is most conducive to study. It contains over five thousand hooks, arranged according to the Dewey Decimal System. Many ol these hooks were added this year so that the students may have the advantages offered by up-to-date hooks. Miss Patterson, Librarian, has spent much time and effort in keeping the library up to the high standards she has set for it. She is assisted by six girls, whose duty it is to keep order in the library; check hooks in and out. and he of assistance to students during their respective periods. I he girls work is not limited to library practice for they are required to keep notebooks ami to read extensively. For their work the Librarians are given a Scholastic credit. There is also a library in the Second Vi ard grade building for the members of the first six grades. Three High School girls take charge of this library. Their duties are the same as those of the High School Librarians. Because the library is so necessary to every department of the school, and because every student has occasion to use the library almost daily, the members of the Freshman class are required to take a course in library training.

Students registered in Manual 1 raining classes of the high school were eligible for membership. The purpose of the Club is to increase knowledge of industrial art work and to give the boys an opportunity to have social gatherings in the school. The watchwords of the did) are: “Industry, Skill, and Honor. One of the many activities sponsored by the Club throughout the year was the repairing of toys, which the boys personally distributed among the poor ol the citv during the Christmas holidays. The members of the Club state that they so thoroughly enjoyed their work as Santa’s assistants that this one activity alone would justify such an organization. At the Club’s last meeting of the year, the members decided that in the future Freshmen would not be given the privilege of joining the organization. The officers of the Club are: James Wiswall, President; Merton Miller. Vice-President; and Gilbert Steiner, Secretary-Treasurer. Although the Club lias existed in the school but a short time, it has already grown from a place of insignificance to one of distinction. Much credit for the success of this new Club goes to its organizer and adviser, Mr. Kissel, whose efforts have made the activities of the Club an outstanding success.

Although the girls are no longer national members they ■ strive to carry out the traditional campfire regulations. At the beginning of the year the old members were called together to reorganize. They selected Miss Peaschek for their guardian and Mrs. Smith for the assistant guardian. The officers elected were: Margaret Hillings, President; Lucille Evans, Vice-President; and Claramae Kennedy, Secretary-Treasurer. It has been the custom for the campfire to camp on the McGregor Heights each spring for a few days. This year, an Easter Dinner Dance was held instead. This and the Annual Christmas party were the two outstanding social events of the season. “The Big Broadcast was presented by this campfire before the student body last fall. It consisted of impersonations of Zazu Pitts, Gracie Allen, Betty Boop, Mine. Schuman-Heink ami many others. The setting for this program was in a broadcasting station and each person was seen as well as heard. The hit of the show was a very realistic impersonation of Zazu by Claramae Kennedy. Ceremonials were held each month. Business meetings were held at each one and were followed hv a delicious meal cooked by the girls of the campfire. Hikes and picnics were enjoyed frequently during the year. Fifty ,w, ■ VA%%,.%V.W.V.%%W«V.W .W-V .,-V.W.W.%W.V.V-V.V.V.Vi Prairie Dttft VAVAV.V.V.V.V.W.VA' Fifty-one.

In the fall. Iiikes and picnics were the major events. During the colder months, ceremonials took their place. At these ceremonials the girls studied manners and social behavior. This year the girls set a precedent for the future members, namely, a St. Valentine’s Party, to which each girl invited a boy to be her escort. Twenty young couples spent the evening in dancing, to the tune of peppy music. In the spring of the year, the girls spent a day on the pleasure boat. The Elk.’’ instead of going on a camping trip. The success of this venture was on a par with that of the St. Valentine day party. Especially this year, did the Campfire aim to he a council to which its members could bring their troubles, discuss them with their fellow members, and get advice and assistance. More than ever have the girls tried to live up to the high ideals of the Campfire. They have learned the fundamentals of happiness, cooperation, consideration for others, and a spirit of helpfulness. They have learned to always conduct themselves as true gentlewomen, and as members of such an organization should. Any girl who has had the good fortune of belonging to this Campfire will never forget the pleasant and profitable hours spent around its council fires.

Students with no musical training, who are interested in hand work, are given the privilege of individual instruction. Mr. Kavanagh, who is a skilled musician, has charge of the training of the students. The Band is composed of twenty-two students of the Junior and Senior High departments. It is directed by Miss Peaschek. At all athletic events of the season the Band increased the pep of the students with its lively strains. At many dramatic productions and entertainments the Band was also heard. On April 6, the Band played several selections at a musical program given in the auditorium. Immediately following the program a Band Mothers’ Club was formed. Parents of the students and friends of the school, who were interested in hand work, were requested to join the organization. The purpose of the Club is to create an interest among the towns-people in the Band and to sponsor activities which will help to finance the purchasing of suits for the members of the Band. With the backing of the Mothers’ Club it is expected that next years’ Band will he somewhat larger and that the long looked-forward-to suits will become a reality. ■ O'leorqc, uouttg patron saint of .JHcrric ©lb Euglmtb, staqcb a famous no-becision bout faith a bragon. ifcrc is the knockout biota.

From the standpoint of scores, the team was not very successful. having lost all four of the games played, but from the standpoint of courage, stamina, morale, and sportmanship, the season was a bright spot in the history of football at Prairie. The pluckiness of the light line against heavier opponents is indicative of the fight which Coach Clark instilled into the team. The season was officially opened with the defeat of the high school eleven. 200, by Campion on Saturday, September 23. A It bough the Prairie gridders played head-up ball, they were defeated 19-0, by the Green Circle, Wednesday, October 4. The Prairie eleven lost a hard fought game to Boscobel. 7-0. I liurs-day, October 19. Prairie lost its homecoming game. Thursday, October 26, to Livingston, 7-0. Livingston scored on a 65-yard run. No letters were awarded this year for football.

From the very opening of the '34 season the players showed signs of the successful team into which they developed. Two seasoned pitchers, Bill Jambura ami ’‘’Mike Bundrock did the club's hurling. Johnson did the catching while Benda, Kozelka, Steiner and Wiswall did the inlielding. Randall, Wainwright and Cooper covered the outfield. Maxwell, Kolbe, Ertle, Cava, Godden and Oes-treich also gave good account of themselves. Despite the fact that Prairie played hut few games, due to the fact that other schools are eliminating baseball as a major sport, the hoys turned in a good record. The season opened with a victory at Mount Hope, 4 to 1, followed by defeat at the hands of Bagley 6 to 2. Other games played throughout the season included two home games with Marquette, two games with Boscobel, and home games with Bagley and Mount Hope. On Saturday, May 19, the W. I. A. A. Tournament was held at the city ball park. Prairie, Boscobel, Bagley, and Mount Hope participated. The tournament consisted of four games of baseball with additional events of baseball throwing, base running, and fungo hitting. Prairie Dog Sixty'three Prairie Do Sports jfeummarjp The annual W. I. A. A. baseball tournament first held here in 1931 and continued for the past four years was an outstanding event of the sport curriculum. Prairie has won the trophy for the past three years. t t t File annual district basketball tourney held in Platteville was won, in 1934, by Mineral Point. Wauzeka won second place, losing only to Mineral Point; Prairie gained third place (consolation) winning games from Cuba City and Fennimore after losing their first game to Darlington. The team brought back a beautiful trophy now on display in the trophy case. t t t The homecoming game, contested by Prairie and Livingston High schools, which was won hv Livingston 6 to 0, was both a thrilling and exciting game. t t t ' Intramurals, first introduced by Mr. Smith in 1930. provided suitable selected activities for boys. The intramural league provided continuous competitive entertainment for each team during the entire season of each major sport. Each contest was equally interesting to the players and to the student body fans. The games were closely enou gh contested to provide plenty of zest.

All the boys of the Senior high school were eligible for membership. Twenty-three members enrolled. Tumbling is excellent exercise. It makes for grace and poise, as it puts all the muscles of the body into play. The purpose of the Club, of course, is to train the hoys in the art of tumbling and to keep them physically fit. At the first meeting of the organization this fall. Donald Horkheimer was elected President; Eugene Koeeke, Vice- President; and DuWain Clayton was chosen Secretary-Treasurer. Emblems of the Club are awarded to the members who fill the following requirements: hack roll and extension; snap-up; handspring; handwalk, six feet; and front dive, six feet. Emblems were presented to the Club’s President, Donald Horkheimer, and Thomas Morel, at the Annual Physical Education Demonstration, last March. The Club has made two public appearances this year. The members presented demonstrations of tumbling at the Annual Physical Education Demonstration and at the Kiwanis Basketball Carnival.

Cfjeer UeaDfrs rpHE auditorium resounded with the ringnig cheers of the student body on ■ October 5 when a contest was held to select cheer leaders. Six students participated in the contest and from this group four, two girls and two boys, were selected as cheer leaders. The student body made the selections by applauding their favorites. Members of the faculty acted as final judges. Those chosen were: Irene Hildebrand and Joseph DuCharme, Seniors; Dorothv Marvin, Sophomore; and Thomas Morel, Freshman. At the suggestion of the Student Council and in accordance with the wish of the entire student body, sweaters were purchased this year for the cheer leaders. These sweaters are to remain the property of the school. The sweaters are white wool with maroon wrist bands and neck trimming. A maroon megaphone hearing a gold “Pv adorns the front of each one. Just how much influence these sweaters have had upon student pep cannot be ascertained but it is certain that there has been more enthusiasm and spirit shown at the various rallies and games than there has been for some time. A complete arrangement of the school cheers and songs printed on the reverse side of the Score Card and Schedule published by the athletic department, has further aided in the development of an organized cheering section. The Letter Club honored Irene Hildebrand and Joseph DuCharme by awarding them letters.

I started as the buzzer controlled from the outer office rang in my ear—a hell operated hv radio which had recently been perfected by two eminent inventors, Paul Amann and Andrew Martin. I waited expectantly, my eyes upon the door which bears the legend— J. C. DuCHARME Attorney-at-Law Suddenly the door opened and my secretary. Miss Irene Hildebrand entered. Here are tbe files you wanted, ’ she stated, and quietly withdrew. 1 be papers were records of dead eases for the year 1943, and I had chosen this day Friday, January 13, 1944, to examine them. The thought occurred to me that perhaps Friday, the thirteenth was a day of portentous meaning. 1 he first report contained an account of the suit against Ringling Brothers by Donald Horkheimer. It seems Donald had lost his sense of balance performing a difficult tumbling feat. Report number two was an account of the suit against Charles Allen, sports editor of the New York Times by that famous quintet of basketeers— Wiswall, Steiner, Maxwell, Benda, and Kozelka. Editor Allen had stated that the players had won forty-nine games during the season, when they had actually wron fifty. rI he next report concerned a ease in which a famous movie producer, Arthur Henry, had brought suit against a group of actors and actresses. The defendants were Lucille Evans, Beatrice Gilbertson, Meta Valant, Glen Horal, Albert LaBonne, and William Jambura. Mr. Henry claimed that the actors had not learned the script in time to photograph a revival of “Grand Hotel.” About to peruse another manuscript I noticed a shadow darken an office window. “The window washer.” I recognized him instantly as Harold Kolbe, and was about to greet him when he raised a finger to his lips and whispered mysteriously, “Sh! Fin a detective.” He instantly disappeared. I peered out the window, but could not see him. At that instant a plane dashed across tbe sky smoke-writing the statement “Chew Ruf-Tuf-Gum.” Then the aviator spelled in smaller letters, “written by ‘Speed’ Schaub.” As I turned from the window a mechanical sign caught niv eye and I read, “Wear Paris Swim-Suits at Popular Beach Resorts.” In a large office directly opposite mine Leona Zable, Rose Kalina, Ethel Toubl, Anna krachey, and Gertrude Roth worked as stenographers. The manager told me that he had the most capable staff of stenographers in New York City. I was interrupted by my secretary who brought me the noon edition of the Times. The headline startled me as I read: “RYAN CIRCLES GLOBE IN 52 HOURS.” p A JWVWWYVVVWVVVW VUWVLWVW.W'A Prairie l)0fl Class of ’34 in ’44 It developed that my former classmate had circled the globe in a new rocket plane. An article stated that Weston Day had earned the title of King of Dance Music,” and that he owed his success to his publicity manager, Delbert LaBonne. Turning to the stage and screen reviews, I learned that Mary Walker, May Pier, Violet Young and Margaret Devenport were appearing on Broadway in George White’s “Scandals.” The television guide stated that Edith Ballantine appeared at seven o’clock E. S. T. over the National Television System as the Story Hour Lady and that Margaret Billings was to announce the program. A little later, on the same program. Dorothy Herold was to sing. A significant news item informed me that a Dr. Anabel Willard of Columbia University was lecturing at a girls’ school on the Hudson. Could this learned Doctor of Literature be Anabel Willard of my school days? It was. Surprise of surprises! Marguerite Voth was the president of the academy where Dr. Willard was lecturing. During a lax moment a wail and a moan assailed my ears from overhead. I smiled, knowing that some student was suffering a music lesson at the hands of Rose Geisler, noted saxaphonist. I left my office to take luncheon at “Rosenbaum’s Home-Cooking Palace,” where every day 1 appeased my appetite on luscious pies baked by Charlotte herself. On my wray back to the office a speedy monorail train composed of white tank cars whizzed by overhead. The white cars hore the inscription “Ohlert, Gillitzer, and Ohlert, Milk Products.” The milk train passed and a passenger train approached. As it drew near, my eyes nearly popped from my head as I discerned George Markham at the controls. Returning to the office I again took up my paper. The sport page held many surprises. One of the headlines read as follows: “MYRL HARE IS SECOND BABE DIDRIKSON.” An account of the Indianapolis speed classic mentioned Merton Miller and Floyd Gossel as having won first and last places respectively. Merton was driving a Miller Special. The time was one hour. Floyd had run out of gas at the halfway mark, but the terrific speed bad carried him to the finish line. The sport news ended with a story of the National Indoor Track Meet giving Orvis Krtle the championship in the shot-put and Leo Uher the Championship in javelin-throwing. Glen Horal won the four-forty run. Charles Valley, also a contestant, ran an exhibition mile in four minutes. With a sigh 1 laid aside the newspaper. Through some trick of fate I had heard of or seen all my old ’34 classmates. I settled in my chair and mentally returned to the balls of good old Prairie du Chien High School.

B. Sea,’ he said, “was our most venerable instructor and he could he just a trifle irritable at times. Once, noticing that a member of his class who sat right under his eyes never took any notes or paid the slightest attention to his lectures, he stopped abruptly and demanded: “See here young man, what do you mean by coming into my classroom day after day and never taking notes? ’ “I have my father’s,” was the student’s complacent reply.

It was the final examination of his senior year at high school. To fail it meant that he could not graduate; that he would he disgraced; that his whole life would be ruined. Shudders involuntarily passed through him as he realized that he was a rank failure. The paper of the man on his left lay invitingly before his eyes. But he did not glance at it. One could see that he was struggling valiantly against temptation and, though the effort was heartrending, he would sacrifice everything for the sake of honor.
