TO BE OR NOT TO BE Receiving the week's assignment. It is a well known fact that English is a most important subject, and the basis of all other subjects taught in high school. It not only furnishes the student with a background for his life as a citizen, but it also spurs him on to the best in literature. In the Freshman class, literature, grammar, library science, and spelling are taught by Miss Goan. Miss Hulick has charge of the Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes. In the Sophomore year, composition is introduced with the continuation of grammar and literature. The Juniors concentrate on American literature and poetry as they begin their study of famous authors. The Senior year is spent in the study of English literature and poetry with special emphasis on the writings of Shakespeare. English can be fun.

AUTHORS, EDITORS News, feature material, proofreading, and special stories—all of these go into the making of a Journalism student, and into the copies of the papers they publish. The staff meets every day during the fifth period to iron out individual problems which may arise in the make-up of the Prairie Puppy, Prairie Dog Tales or the Annual. Material for the school paper is collected from each member of the staff, then placed in a file which is accessible to the various editors. Mr. Derouin, faculty advisor, assists in the various projects undertaken by the Journalism class and is always Johnny-on-the-spot when needed.

THE WORLD NOW AND THEN By the lock on Mr. Lutzke's face, he must have a test in store for the American History class. The development of man's progress from the earliest times, the problems and difficulties of the countries and their governments, and the problems of the present day, are all discussed in the two history classes at Prairie High School. The two courses, American history, taught by Mr. Lutzke: and world history, taught by Mr. Derouin; help each student to become better acquainted with the problems of current interest, thereby enabling them to compare their problems to the happenings of long ago. To aid the students in their study of history, a large collection of maps and charts as well as visual instruction is used in the classes. Movies and strip-films prove to be a valuable reference in helping to understand the textbook. As an added help in studying Prairie du Chien history, the American history students prepare a tabloid which depict important dates of our city, and how they correspond with state and national dates. Joanne and Darwin are really concentrating, however, Ronnie and Bev are doing a little day-dreaming. History — 30
