For the record, it was a nice day when our school convened again after three months of absence. If you looked out the window the trees were in full bloom, the birds were singing, and it was a nice day. It was no different in the Journalism room where after a change of teachers and a change of students they resumed classes. Ahead of them, this one teacher and twelve students, was the responsibility of putting out an annual and three school news- papers. What follows is the result of part of this endeavor. We hope you will appreciate the hard work that has gone into it. For the record this book was formerly called the Prairie Dog, but as much as we hated to see the old name go, we realized that there is a need for a change or there couldn't be any progress. A majority vote of the students was taken and the results were tlzat the name should be changed. ln the following pages many things will live with you forever. You will know the joys of friends and of classes, the fun and work of school. May God be always With you, and may the publication of this our 1959 annual, help you to recall all the memories of the good times spent at Prairie du Chien High School. So for the record here is the 1959 Black- hawkf ' ' M -'ffm ' r WN-vw WK ' We M ' 'H f We dedieate . . A great many men have served us in un- selfish devotion and have given freely of their time and effort to create a community and a school for our growth, for our pres- ent privileges, and for future opportunities. Being very human and very young, we may soon forget the accomplishments of these men. This book is dedicated to Dr. Eli M. Dessloch hoping that it will give us cause not to forget him as he leaves his 15 years ser- vice on our school board. Dr. Dessloch,ia native son of our own University of Wis- consin, interned in Uakland, California. Dur- ing his residency in our community he has supported many a cause for the benefit of us, the youth, on the school board, through the Kiwanis Club, and as President of the Luth- eran Church Council. His activity has car- ried out from the community to service in various capacities in the Wisconsin State Medical Society. So-because he deserves more than one year's praise, we dedicate this Blackhawk to Dr. Dessloch. This may help us remember this man, and those before and after him as well, the men and women whose deeds to youth remain unknown and who never want praise or thanks. So We won't forget the scenes of our community, so we wonlt forget the school building we spent four wonderful years in, so we won't forget those who helped us, our friends, our teach- ers, our classmates, we have made his book' for our record. It will refresh our memories as we go. table contents X5 msg Here are our Courses Sports . Activities . Classes Events . Here is our . Dedication .

English Freshmen with three years of high school English ahead of them, often ask, All that grammar and liter- ature, what for? But, as we Seniors approached our last year, and looked back as well as ahead, we realized that to face many years of our life's work, we needed English. Not being able to use it intelligently, would be a pretty big handicap. At Prairie High School, three years of English are required to polish and improve the King's English. A fourth year is offered as an elective. We, who returned as Sophomores, Juniors and Sen- iors, found plenty of changes in the English department. lVlr. McCormick taught some of the Juniors and Fresh- men the important phases of our language. The Sopho- mores struggled through diagraming sentences, reading literature, and making speeches under the watchful eyes of Mr. Lewinski. Two members of the faculty returned to instruct in their major subject. Mrs. Schreiner Worked with Freshman classes on the basics of using English, While Miss Sontag took the highest on the ladder, the Juniors and Seniors, and guided them through their biog- raphies, essays, poems, book reports, and forensics. What did a Prairie High School study of English include? There were three minute speeches, themes, studies of Silas Marner and David Copperfield and Shakespear's great book, Julius Caesar, memorizing of poems of Walt Whitman and Edgar Allen Poe, work in forensics, grammar, and even spelling. But these are only a few of the many things that we'll take with us from our studies of Rooms 2, 23, 24, and 25. 8 Dlalh VVhat does mathematics do for you? VVC enter Prai- rie High unaware that no matter what we do in life, we are bound to use math's fundamental principles. The administration of Prairie realizes we cannot escape mathematics and, therefore, they offered us a thorough course. This year, under the guidance of Miss Dohse, a four year, higher mathematics plan was initiated. Algebra opened the fields. During the fourth hour, Miss Goan joined forces with Miss Dohse to instruct the many students who registered for the course. The next step on the ladder was geometry which involved the study of relationships of lines, surfaces and angles. One of the things we will recall hearing in the class is Prove ABC triangle relationship to triangle DEF. Those who wished to further their knowledge and prepare for college, found that a full year of advanced algebra and a full year of trigonometry were added to the curriculum. Some of the students could go even fur- ther in work with solid geometry. We'll remember math for more than facts, for many chose their vocations because of the attractive manner in which Miss Dohse presented the invaluable knowledge and its relation to navigation, mechanics, electronics, radar, surveying, and other branches of en- ginneering.

Tl le 1 ment of N133 is 1-0- It was right here a minute ago. ic t ve op p gress from the earliest times. The prob- lems and dilliculties of the countries and their governments and the prob- lems of the present day, are all dis- cussed in the two history classes of Prai- rie du Chien High School. The courses, American History, taught by Nlr. Hyke and Nlr. Lewin- ski, help each student become better acquainted with the problems of cur- rent interests, Which enables him to compare his problems to the problems of long ago. To aid the students in their history classes, a collection of magazines and charts as Well as visual instructions are used in the classes. Movies and strip films prove to be valuable references in helping to understand the text book. As an added help in studying history, the American History students prepare a tabloid which depicts important dates of our cities and how they correspond with state and national dates. i. Social Science A government for the people must depend for its success on the intelligence, the morality, the justice and the interest of the people them- selves g the social science courses at the Prairie High School set out to prepare our future citizens with this purpose. Mr. lVlulrooney's Freshman civics classes ran the spring student council election. This enabled them to apply their knowledge of citizenship at a democratic election. Spreading their study of democracy into the community, the students at- tended a court trial at the county court house. Each scholar had his turn at giving news reports so that the class could discuss all the recent hap- penings around the globe. Studies of American government are ex- tended into the discussions of world and civic affairs under the supervision of Mr. Kennedy in economics. Price stabilization, wages, strikes, labor unions, industry and national currency made the subject of economics so expansive that Prairie High School students developed various projects and individual notebooks. Their Vade Mecum, go with me , notebook will long be remembered by the students. Is this posed or are you studying? Right here. This is the spot. Junior Scientists Uur Prairie High School biology department may not have a cadaver but they have practically everything else. Its aquarium is filled with flitting fish and wavering water plants. lt has cases filled with skeletons, bottles of frogs, snakes and plants preserv- ed in wood alcohol. Mrs. Ackerlund and Mr. Hyke aided the biology students in combining these specimens with textbook work. The sophomores soon became acquainted with the life cycle and families of the plant and animal king- dom, from a single cell of life to the very most com- plicated forms. In the spring of the year, the classes ventured out into nature and got a first hand look at the grow- ing life in the woods, fields, and streams around Prai- rie du Chien. Biology students had the opportunity to develop a good driving attitude in the driver's educa- tion section of the course. Mr. Smith and Mr. Hyke introduced students to simplified knowledge of the atom, identification of the soil and rocks, fundamental principles of radio and mechanical advantage in freshman general science. This prepared the students who had never had much science, for the more advanced courses. They also studied about magnets and their lines of force, during the year which proved to be very interesting. Big operation lt's my turn to have a look 12 Whai's the temperature Ed? Advanced Scientists Reeking fumes drift out the room, and the sound of breaking test tubes and running water pre- cedes the on-rush of students from Room 119. You guessed it, Mr. Rasmussenls chemistry class has succcessfully completed another experiment! With rapid progress the need arose for know- ledge and scientific training, and more students en- tered chemistry and physics than ever before. Mr. Rasmussen added another class period of physics this year. Students had a chance to try working with electronics and mechanics. The department pro- vided the student scientists with equipment to meet their inquisitievness. Jim Heisz and Clem Lechnir were found after class, expanding their experiences. Mr. Rasmussen provided the incentive for fur- ther study to students by showing them movies. He, also, posted on his bulletin board new developments in the sphere of science. This attracted the other students as they passed by Room ll9, and made them realize that the department Could open the way for a brilliant future and better understanding ofthe world in which we live. 13 Careful! don'1 drop if Zonnie The class where Ya is legal Semper Paratus! Pam. Languages The fall of 1958 welcomed a new mem- ber to the faculty and a new teacher for our Latin students. Mr. lVlcCormick teaches first and second year Latin. Latin is the basis for learning the Ro- mance languages such as, Portugese, Span- ish, French, Italian, and to a certain extent, Rumanian. When you learn Latin, you un- derstand not only the ancient Romans, but also their inlluence on our civilization which effects American customs and ways of living. About forty per cent of the words in the English language are derived from Latin, so the vocabulary of a Latin student is su- perior to that of the regular student. After a lapse of four years, the study of the German language was once again offered at Prairie High. Fourteen students enrolled at the begin- ning of the first semester, but because of various reasons the enrollment decreased to only nine. All of the students except one, are pupils who finished the Latin course, for Which reason they know the value of a for- eign language. During first year German, the pupils learn good grammar and acquire a strong vocab- ulary ability. With the trend of education calling for more foreign languages. P.H.S. may some day offer second year German. Aggies Masgicians are really what our Ag students are expected to be-making magic with our minds, our hands, and the soil. In our shop, We practiced welding and had various shop pro- jects in building and repairing machinery and equipment. We learned modern farming meth- ods and put them to practical use in our live- stock and crop projects. We kept farm records and accounts, tested milk for butterfat con- Harvey Zabel seems to be inter- ested in what Jerry's doing. Just what is he doing? It doesn't seem to work 15 tent, and tested soil samples to determine if a field needed lime or fertilizer. Our Prairie High Aggies took part in dif- ferent events through the year Which gave them much valuable experience. Many of the class members belonged to F.F.A. and were given awards for outstanding Work at our Febru- ary banquet. Participation in public speaking contests, meat judging and livestock judging contests, all required Work and knowledge but repaid the students Well, by providing a prac- tical test of their abilities. Other activities included field trips to local farms and businesses, ag industry tour, state and national F.F.A. conventions, and showing at the state and county fairs. lNlr. Guy Ralph, agriculture instructor, guid- ed us through four years of elective agricul- ture. unnl if M., at u Industrial Arts Gary Bunders and other members of the Senior class were busy making their dream homes dreamier this year. Under the direction of Mr. Bert Krohn, the craftsmen of the freshman and sopho- more classes worked hard at mechanical drawing and Woodworking. The junior class was Well started on the road to becoming master electricians, under the direction of Mr. Guy Ralph. Electric- ity Was studied in great detail the first semes- ter and such varied projects as sheet metal Work, drafting, soldering, and Welding were covered and put into practical use the sec- ond semester. The senior class was under the direction of Mr. Bert Krohn. In addition to their dream homes, the senior craftsmen worked on several other interesting projects. They became acquainted with architectural draft- ing, wood and sheetmetal Work, welding, leather and plastic projects. Lapidary Work was coveredg this involved the cutting, polish- ing, and mounting of stones. These semi- precious stones are purchased from various companies. At the end of four years, students in indus- trial arts have acquired many different skills. If they were to select an occupation today, they could choose to be a Welder, a drafts- man, a carpenter, a solderer, a sheetmetal worker, a plastitician, a lapidary, a leather- craftsman, or an electrician. Don't hit your finger Larry. A model village 16 Temper! Temper! Click, clack, click, click, echoed out into the hall from Room 4 this year. Not only students registered in typing, but students who had permission, used the typewriters for work. Miss Ryan, the commercial in- structor, gave us a challenge to learn in be- ginning shorthand and advanced shorthand, in bookkeeping, and in typing. First year typists, after becoming well acquainted with the typewriter, plunged into learning various letter forms, typing reports with rows of numerals, and worked on im- provement by taking time tests to increase their speed and accuracy. Prairie High School's future secretaries returned for their second year of work and learned how to take and transcribe really w 'W g W Debits have fo equal the credits. Commercial professional looking business letters, as well as other legal documents. Combined with this dictation and transcription, they learn- ed to use other oflice equipment, like ditto and mimeograph machines. Basic knowledge in keeping financial and business records was offered in another course, senior bookkeeping. Often, around school, we would hear students inquiring, Could you get your books to balance ? After integrating the skills of all these courses, Miss Ryan carried our preparation into the personal field by her help in ex- plaining to us what well dressed secretaries should wear, how to apply for a job, and many other things, that really will benefit us. What photographer wouldn't get rattled in this company. Home Economics Many of you will remember the delicious aroma of home made bread and baking cakes floating up the hall of the southwest wing from Room 118. Yes, in Room 118 many Prairie High girls learned how to be good homemakers. The spacious home economics department housed a combined classroom and laboratory Where Mrs. Grelle prepared our young misses for the profession of homemaking. Four years of home economics were offered as electives and in each year the work advanced in difficulty. Clothing, foods and nutrition, home and family living gave insight into the intricate tech- niques of construction and buying clothes wisely, of planning well balanced meals and pre- paring them perfectly, of discussing and planning for the problems of marriage and child care. This field has been an important one for making our future homes successful, and as our senior year draws to a close, we leave Mrs. Grelle with more confidence that they Will be successful. there? 18 This home economics class seems to be having fun Don't you wish you were A very busy class Pre-Journalists Morgue, copy, deadline! To a conscientious Journalism student these are important. Journalism, which is an elective subject, is offered to all upperclass- men. The responsibilites of such a class are many. The school paper, Prairie Dog Tales, issues of Which Were given in October, December and May, is edited by the Class. Editor of the paper Was Ronnie Herold, associate editor Marilyn Du Charme. Editors of Record Page Karen Frydenlund, Connie Bushnell, Joyce Weise1', Mike Brunet, Damar- is Graap. Editor of Editorials Gary White, Nick Moran. Feature editors Gary Sedlmayr, Lee Shawley, Mar- garet Elliot, Karen Rowe. Sports editors Bruce Kieser, John Fryden- lund. Special reporters Jerry Valley, Janet Tippery. During the first half of the year Miss Sontag, advisor and teacher of the Journalism Class, taught us the meaning of journalistic terms. Work on the Annual began dur- ing the second half. The question arose, Should We change the name of the Book? After an all school vote, the name was changed from The Prairie Dog to The Black- hawk . They do if like this, JerrY- sports L The class rooms are not the only places where we learn at Prairie High. The football field, the gymnasium, the track, and the baseball diamond have had a great iniluence in the molding of the character of each young man who passes through these halls. Looking back as alumni, we will remember the honesty and sports- ship which We have been taught by our coaches. We Will, also, remember the these pages.

Gridiron Gallantry Prairie du Chien High School football team enjoyed a very successful season this year although it lost two of its last three games. Prairie finished in a three Way tie for second with Mt. Horeb and Lancaster, with a record of 4-2-2. Coach John Mul- rooney's Hawks did not win the conference, but turned in a couple of thrilling games when they tied Darlington and Dodgeville Who Were co-champions of the South West- ern Conference. Again this year Prairie Was very Well coached as head coach John Mulrooney took the backfield and assistant coach Duane Sackett took charge of the line. Added coaching in the line was done by the new basketball coach Charles Hyke. Jerry Fernette and Ronnie Herold were chosen Co-captains for the year. Four P.H.S. football players were nam- ed to the first all conference team. End Jerry Fernette and tackle Gary Bunders were first string linemen. Quarterback Bruce Kieser and halfback Ronnie Herold were named to the first backfield. Besides being voted to the first offensive team Gary Bunders was also voted on the first defensive team. Ron- nie Herold also made the defensive team, but second string. Row One: A. Bresnahan, B. Rand, T. Glynn, G. Paulson, E. Koecke R. Sfrauman, K. McKinney, P. Leamy, R. Suffon, J. Pi?- zer, B.

Cagie Cagers This year the Prairie High Varsity basketball squad won no championships, trophies or blue rib- bons, but did win a fair amount of games. Under the direction of Coach Charles Hyke, the team ended in a tie for Sth in the South VV:-:stern VViscon- sin Athletic League and won two games in the tournament play. Coach Hyke gave the whole team plenty of chance to see action and gain experience. Good teamwork accounted for the upsetting of some of the conference leaders. The last game of the year, played with last place Fennimore, was a record breaking game as the Hawks scored 114 points. Letter winners for the 58-59 season were seniors, Ronnie Herold, Bruce Kieser, Gary Bun- ders, John Frydenlund, Ed Pellock, juniors, Art Carl, Carroll Paulson, john Yager, sophomores, Ron Shinko, Jim Pitzer, George Gverton and freshman, Gary May. Senior, Bruce Kieser broke two scoring records by putting in 51 points against Fennimore and scoring 620 points for the year. Bruce was named to the second All-Conference team.

We are especially proud of the fact that We have a coach like John Mulrooney to head us up. After winning the Madison West Re- lays, We went on to victory in other track meets and through a series of un- fortunate accidents, we lost a couple. But we could still hold our heads high, for we Won in spirit if not in points. The sum total of the Whole year has been victory and with the victory, good sportsmanship, both in winning and in our individual losses.

The first conference game was play- ed With Cuba City. The starting team had Gary May at 2nd base, Bill Over- ton at shortstop, Ronnie Shinko at lst base, Jim Pitzer at 3rd base, John Yager as catcher, and Kenny Hollen- berger as the starting pitcher. In the outfield were Bud Trautsch, Pat Benoy, and Bob Kramer. Cuba City Won the game 9-2. Reserves, who hope to see action in other games, are Greg Goodman, Dick Strauman, john Wainwright, Phil Bou- zek, Gary Paulson, and Ethen Koecke. Junior Varsities The Prairie High Football B team, under the guidance of Coach Levvinski, racked up a 3-3 seasonal record. They scored victories over Fennimore, Boscobel, and the Campion J.V.S. While losing to Fennimore, Lancas- ter and the Campion J.V.S. hlany of the sophomores on the B squad, being eligible for competition on the varsity, played important roles in the squad success this year. The biggest Win of the year was probably 12-7 victory over the Campion I.V.'s in a return engagement after losing the first one 33-0. To gain experience they, also, played several games against the varsity reserves. The B squad basketball team this year Was greatly handicapped by the loss of their out- standing sophomores and freshmen to the varsity tor many of the games. Only a few times during the season did most ofthe boys get together and play as a team. Despite this, the Junior Hawks still man- aged to earn a respectable 9-ll record. On the occasions when they did get together, they were very impressive, indicating a bright future for the Prairie High basket- ball. Row One: Mr. Lewinski D. Edwards, C. Spiker R. Strauman, G.

These are the Words heard on the football field. But W-ait. They have no padding, no helmets. Why? Because this is intramural football and the players are merely playing for the fun of it. With seniors as team captains and working the method of choice, they develop- ed good student teams. The team which Won the championship Was under the leadership of team captain, Richard Steiner. Then at 7:30, every school morning, boys came from far and Wide to participate in another intramural sport. This sport is basf ketball. The year's Winner in the intramural basketball Was Gary White's team with Whaf's everybody standing around for? Richard Steiner, the first place Winner in in- tramural football, running second. The year's scoring champion was Terry Remy. Special credit goes to Mr. Smith, who lead this program and made personal sac- rifices for it. The only rules of eligibility in these intra- mural sports are that you be a member of Prairie du Chien High School and not on the varsity basketball or football squad. This program promotes good sportsman- ship and a better understanding of fair play. This is one of our most valuable assets in our school system. activities Q S A Well rounded program highlighted more than courses, and extended outside the classroom. Active clubs at Prairie High opened fields for the students to develop talents and interests. Students learned that experiences, rather than people or books, is a prime educator. VVe will re- member that through them We learned to govern ourselves, to share, to Work, to show consideration, and tolerance of oth- ers views. VVe found an outlet for our enthusiasm and limitless energy, and had just plain fun. ss s S ss s 3 1 Row One: M. Moen, D. Marfilius, J. Schneider, L. Gramling, J. Yager, M. Gramling, R. Sfrauman.

They Were very grateful for the fine co-operation given them, therefore, many activities were made possible through- out the year. Student Council officers: Judi Schneider, secretary- Treasurer, Larry Gramling, president, John Yager, vice-president. The Council sponsored many projects Which included: the Freshman Mixer, ap- pointing committees for Homecoming along with the crowning of the queen and the program, arranging for busses to the games, assisting with plans for College- Career Day, the Christmas Party and the buying and presenting of gifts, television rental for the world series, various Univer- sity of Wisconsin extension programs, week- ly radio programs over W.P.R.E., and the annual magazine campaign. The Junior- Senior Supper was, also, under their super- vision. Mr. Kennedy attended a National Stu- dent Council Convention Which was held in Chicago. An achieved goal, which this year's Student Council met, was making the last payment on the public address sys- tem. Audio und Visual Education Everyone Was a movie star at Prairie du Chien High School during the last year. This was possible through the visual aids program of taking movies of football games and other important events. Also included in the visual aids program is showing movies, strip films and other vis- ual services. Under the direction of Mr. Harold Ras- mussen, the visual aids program went through a slight reorganization, making the Junior High and grades more independent. Special credit also goes to the older boys in Mrs. Keehner's class for the fine job they are doing in the grade school visual aids depart- ment. Row One: J. Karnopp, J. Skrade, J. Ceika, J.

To create friendship and encourage good sportsmanship, to develop good use of leisure time, to offer opportunities for competition- these are the main goals of the organization known as the G.A.A. Kickball, volleyball, bowling, basketball, badminton, ping pong, and softball are the games in which they compete. The Hrst sport this year was kickball headed by Linda Martin, next we had volleyball, with Judi Schneider at the head and Linda Uestreich as her assistant. Bowl- ing Was next on the list under the direction of Sharon Desslock with Jean Hoffland as her as- sistant. Pat Lechnir was chosen as the leader of basketball and she, in turn, chose Mary Lou VVhite as her assistant. Badminton and ping pong have Jill Loehndorf as captain with assistant, Karen Frydenlund. Judy Taylor was the head of softball with Sally Stewart, assisting. This year's officers were the following: President, Pat Lech- nir, Vice-President, Faye Tippery, Secretary- Treasurer, Suzanne Remy, Point Secretary, Lin- da Martin.

We realize that one of our school's most treasured assets is our library system. Miss Lois Goan has built the library into the thriving organization it is today. When one is confronted with the problem of Writing a term topic or finding reference they know the library is a faithful friend. We have a large number of librarians, doing a variety of jobs - checking, shelv- ing, repairing and cataloging books. Mrs. Donna Cipra, a full time librarian, was not a new addition to the staff this year. When purchasing books this year, essence was placed on literature and science books, along with fiction and reference books. A dream of the library staff is the librar- ies and workroom under one roof, with an office built in full View of them. The Library Club was organized with Mary Lou Kavon, as president, Shirley Nagle, vice-president, Ernestine Cole, sec- retary and Gary Sedlmayr, treasurer. l 1 1. , Row One: Mrs. Dale Cipra, L.

To be eligible for this organiza- tion, a boy must win a major letter in an interscholastic sport. During the fall the letter club held many doughnut sales for the purpose of raising money. With this money, and that earned in past years, .t . 1 was possible for the organization to purchase a projector, buy film, and take movies of athletic events. The first formal meeting was held ' D in ecember at which officers were elected. Gary Sedlmayer was chosen P . . resident, Larry Gramlmg Vice- President, and Ronnie Herold, Sec- retary-Treasurer. The highlight of the year was the F h ' ourt Annual Athletic Banquet, held on January l9th in the All-Pub pose room. This event was again sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. The main speaker of th e evening Was Ed Schweizer, Coach at Luther. John Pake, a former alum- n . . us, now starring in football at Luth- er, also, gave a short talk. 1 Cheerleaders Cheerl Fightl YVinl are the three Words that best describe Prairie High's cheerleaders who warmed their vocal chords to boost our team's spirit this year.

Hawlcettes For the past four years, Mrs. Kathleen Ackerlund, the originator, has been devoted direc- tor of a very talented group of fifteen to twenty girls. These girls Worked with the band and did different routines called precision steps. When the green and White clad girls rushed out to perform at halftime during basketball and football games, they really thrilled the audience with their acts. During the homecoming game of 1958, the Hawkettes gave a very stunning performance While spelling out PRAIRIE in semaphore code with sparklers. Linda Martin has served as assitant director and, with Mrs. Ackerlund, has spent many long hours perfecting routines to make l958-1959 an outstanding season for the Hawkettes. 0ur Counselor The Guidance Program, under the direction of Mr. Lutzke has been very helpful to the students at Prairie du Chien High School. In previous years it has been in operation as a pioneering project, but this year the School Board established it on a half-time basis. This program involves testing, guiding, and coun- seling, in problems dealing With vocational and college careers. A testing program has been inaugurated in the junior high in preparation for high school. De you need help Loral? 43 Row One: L. Mezera, D Graap, C. Mezera, S Ahrens. Row Two: L Shawley, L.

Senior Memories As we look back throughout high school years we slowly realize that we have spent four wonderful years filled with happiness, joys, and sorrows. What did our class achieve in the year of great scientific discoveries? Probably it was nothing great but it was still an achivement which will someday help us on the road to success. Homecoming was our first big event of our Senior year and we started the celebra- tion off by winning first place in the skit con- test. Diane Morovits was our homecoming queen this year. We made some profits for our class treas- ury by selling candy at football games and also from donut sales. On Valentines day We held our lVlid-win- ter formal the Sweethearts Ball . The roy- alty were King, Don lVIarfilius and Queen, Karen Rowe. Then we began making plans for gradu- ation. We ordered our announcements from .losten's during March and also de- cided on our class colors, of Turquoise and white. We also had our pictures taken and received them in April. On May 27 the Baccalaureate was held and a buffet supper was served. Then on Fri- day night, May 29, 1959 we received our diplomas. We are the class of Fifty-nine, We Are As Great All Our Faith .

Home- room officers were Carroll Paulson and Art Carl. We started out our year with Homecom- ing where we took second place with our float. Qui' skit Was well liked by the student body for its originality and humor. For Homework was presented to the stu- dents and faculty. With the coming of Spring, preparations were begun on our Junior Prom, a very state- ly and memorable allair. Her Royal high- ness Jean Hoffland, chosen by King Max Gramling, reigned over the event with Jim Kozelka, Lynda Oestreich, Art Carl, Car- roll Paulson, and their dates. For our class day we held a successful picnic at Wyalusing State Park. So ends another year in the history of the class of '60. We shall return ready and Will- ing to assume our role as Seniors.

Keeping order in the home room were Bill Fritsche in Homeroom l and Ricky Root in Homeroom 2. In October we were initated. The girls wore chore girls in their hair and the boys carried purses. The Freshmen were, again, in charge of the homecoming bonfire. We Worked hard and had a fine fire. Our float, was entitled Heads Will Roll and we tied for third place. Many of the Freshmen boys played on the B-squad football team which ended up with three wins and three losses. When the bas- ketball season began the Freshmen took this opportunity to sell pop at one of the first games. VVC, also, had some Freshmen boys on the B-squad basketball team which end- ed up with nine wins and eleven losses. Another thing that shouldn't be overlook- ed is G.A.A. The Freshmen girls Won the basketball tournament by defeating the Sen- iors. Although we have had a lot of fun as Freshmen, We are all looking forward to be- ing Sophomores. Row One: F, Mezera, G.

The routine you loved so Well. First there is the process of getting up. Soon after you have eaten your breakfast, you leave home for school. To get there, you Will either Walk, drive or take the bus. Soon you Will be Waiting for the bell to ring for the activity period. You will remember the school milk program and the stampede to get to the Ag. shop and get your milk. One of your memories will be the lockers and your clearest re- collection of school will be the noise they made. You Will, also remember they were a handy place to hang signs and pictures. The Day Moves 0n You Were always Waiting in lines, first the milk program line and then the lunch line, but here you are at the lunch Window and getting served, so who cares. And then there Were assemblies, some dull and some lively, such as an indoor reptile house in the sev- enth period. After school was time for extra curricular activities such as plays, football, and of course G.A.A., with its star basketball players and the rest of its sports. And then everything Was still, the halls were empty, except for an occasional janitor moving a- round cleaning up after us. Clean- ing the halls for next day. When the same routine began again, al- Ways the same, yet always differ- ent, the same routine to remem- ber.
