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.
