Little Things Mean lflection of officers was the first business of the Junior High this year. The Junior High is divided into three rooms: Miss blurton instructs the seventh grade, Mrs. Hutchins teaches the eighth grade, and Mrs. Carberry directs the combination seventh and eighth grade. Miss Murton's class elected Pam Brecht as President, Gary May as Vice-President, and Pauline Chech as Secretary-Treasurer. Nlona bloen was elected as President of blrs. Carberry's class, with Peggy Johnson as Vice-President, and Sara Ahrens as Sec- retary-Treasurer. The President of blrs. A Lot Hutchin's room was Richard Gentes, with ,Iohn Cejka holding down the position of Vice-President, and Linda Howe as Secre- tary-Treasurer. This year the safety patrol was dropped from the Junior High to the sixth grade because of the schedule the eighth graders carry. Along the sports line, the football team played Inter-city League games against St. Gabriel's and St. John's, as did the basket- ball team. The basketball squad also trav- eled to other towns. Both teams had a very successful season. Front Row-J. Kellogg, C. Barker, M. Clarke, P. Toberman, G. Renhart, J. Nash, C. Ralph, l'. Check, C. l'iui'c1-, M. Dring. Second Row-S. Ziininvrmnn, K.

After completing the lfnglish courses at Prairie lligh, we not only know they are ling- lish words, but what they mean as well. All four years of lfnglish taught at our school em- phasize enlarging our vocabulary, which has proved very helpful in our other classes. l,ihrary science, grammar, and spelling are stressed along with literature. The freshmen enjoyed reading and studying Da- vid Copperlieldu. Miss l,ois Goan and Mrs. lfsther Schreiner instruct the freshmen. The sophomore class, taught hy hir. blames l,e- winski, hecame familiar with George l'iiliott's, Silas hlarnern. Grammar was also an important phase in their lfnglish study. Supervised hy Miss l,ouise Sontag, head of the lfnglish department, the juniors studied l'nited States literature, and the seniors concentrated on lfnglish lit- erature. Original orations, interpretative prose, extempor- aneous poetry readings, and current event speeches were made by the upper three classes in preparation for the forensic contest. Original essays on 'il Speak for Democracy , and Bm winter gives a memory se- f'Hiring- the Handicapped , helped to develop our writ- ledion. lllg 3-blllty' 20. . .English
