Yes, summer is over, but our memories still linger on. The first day of school brought acquaintances friends back together, sharing remembrances of the summer. The nights spent at the bowlii the countless hours spent in McDonald’s parking lot, and the thousands of hours cruising the going through McDonald’s then down to Kaber’s, we won’t ever forget these memories. But to top it off, all of the teachers, old and new, are shocked at stories of the all-night parties. Students are disappointed these nights are over, for the time being, but we are all relie our and alle 11 loop, beach that our summer work schedules are over too. Although the summer.

This year the sports calendar should be a lot ifficult, but we have played all earns in the past, so we have a ifidence in our Blackhawks. istration also had a little surprise for us. The rules have become a lot stricter. The worst is, if we have ian 3 tardies in one class we get one day of in-school suspension. Most of the students find this a little too severe.

Is this THE Mr. Hesselberg? 9 On a bitter, cold, fall evening the juniors faced the seniors on the John C. Mulrooney Field. • The underclassmen braved the cold to come and cheer on the do-minent senior team. The senior bench was also in full action lending their support to those on the field and firing up the fans . Coming into the' game, the senior girls had the advantage of experience and spirit, but the juniors were out for blood.

This year's parade consisted of floats, fall athletes, the court, and the band. Tracy Kramer, by way of horseback, carried the U.S. Flag to lead the parade down Blackhawk Avenue. The football team followed along with the volleyball and cross-country teams. The cheerleaders broke tradition by walking in the parade and greetin crowd. The homecomin Hirt rode in convertibles, wav Won-lookers. The main were the floats that were b f judged for cash awards.

Freshmen floats aren’t the same Watch out Wildcats, the natives are on the loose The heat was on as the parade ended at the High School parking lot. The night was tense, especially after the judging of the windows, skits, and floats. The Juniors suffered a mishap earlier in the morning. Mystery was in the air t all wondered who would be Homecoming Queen. The night of the cor Bon began with the 1987 I Hecoming chairperson, Kristin talking briefly and introduc p few others to say aJAabout aflhomecoming.

The “Dream” fights for the extra yard. “Paradise” Homecoming ’87 was a bang. “Banger” made sure of that by returning to the hallowed grounds of P.H.S.“Banger” had changed a little though since he had last been seen at the bonfire. With Blair Diliman’s permission, Dan O’Brien and Krista Por-vaznik had put a head on his shoulders. “Banger” did a great job of welcoming all dance-goers to Prairie’s own paradise which was ruled over by Chanda Ruschmeyer, 1987 Homecoming Queen, and her court. The Grand March was at 10:30 p.m. with the queen and her court marching over the bridge to “I’ve Been In Love Before.” “Still of the Night” was the 1987 Homecoming song with “Paradise by the Dashboard Lights” as the theme. Music was provided by 105.7. A good time was had by all. Dave and Michelle show us how it’s done. We three women of P.H.S. Pam didn’t have enough to eat at “Michaels.” HeylHey! It’s Bruce Waller .

Ms. Stemper came into our lives. An “interview” was the main objective of our junior year. Then came the big “choice.” Which English course did we want to take, college courses or classes just to get by. We could choose Advanced Composition, Advanced Grammar, Effective English, Speech, Journalism, or Business English. The one good thing was we only had to take two of these classes. Then, finally, all the long hours paid off. Clay Riness entertains Ms. Stemper's class.

That is if you know a few facts like: where your Milky Way may be, which leaf fell off what tree, where and how the rain drops may fall and which way did the mole go. These facts and many many more could and can be learned by you in the Prairie High School science world. 25 Mr. Oehler gives Ms. Mole a tour of PHS •THREE AMIGOS’ T Cejka is getting a dose of Latin lecture by Mr Frommelt. “Mr Frommelt, please don't hit me.” Whether it be Spanish, Latin, or hand signs, language plays an important role in our lives. Here at Prairie High we offer both Spanish and Latin. Both classes rely on translations, vocabulary, and history. Besides the grammar and tests, the Latin class chuckles at the words “Semper ubi sububr” written on the board by Mr. Frommelt (translated as, Always wear underwear ”) The class would never be complete without a few “bald” jokes. The Spanish class is under the control of Mr. Campbell. The first year, translation is the name of the game. We learn the ABC’s and 1,2,3’s all over again. When we enter 2nd year Spanish, it seems like a breeze. But then comes Don Quixote. G.Brummel asks. “How do you say lowegian in Spanish?” Listen here, kid!” says Mr.Campbell.

There are also classes such as: Information Processing, Data Processing, Business Concepts and American Enterprise. With so many choices you can see how the Business Department at PHS has really grown. B U S N E S S J. Hendrix states. “ Mind your own business!” Arts ,99 1 11€? “A listless array of quasi-heraldic imagery of considerable sophistication.” This is the way one critic spoke of the works of Paul Porvaznik and his futurist apprentices. Por-vaznik, unquestionably one of the signal artists of our times, creates images of eloquent structural beauty if not quiet weirdness. The style of his students, via Guston, DaVinci, and Balia is originality captured and presented by naturalist means. The feeling is more emblem than description: abstract with the totemic air of cave-paintings. Primitive imagery with patinas of doubt and monochrome overtones indicate a pictorial minimalism. Rick outclasses DaVinci. Haven’t we met somewhere before?' 34 Art in the Making. Kevin believes in body English. Do not disturb! Finished with your assignment girls? Paul wallows in deep thought.

It is complemented by units in dance, tumbling, juggling, recreational games, weight-training, aerobics and fitness. With over 200 boys and girls in classes, there is never a dull moment and always a lot of surprises. Hopefully, the physical activities developed and practiced in these classes will continue to be enjoyed for a lifetime. Annie shows off her juggling skills.

Class Agriculture has changed drastically over the last ten years and that change can be found in the “Ag.” classes offered at PHS. Mr. Pedretti states that the Ag. Department has close to 100 students exploring careers in agriculture. Fifty percent of these students are from town destroying the idea that “Ag.” is only for farm students. Some of the courses offered are: Wildlife and Conservation Management, Animal Science, Farm Management, Agri-business. Mechanics, and Horticulture. The FFA Club is part of the Ag. Department also. It is the most active club in the school. Some activities are judging contests in livestock, mechanics, speaking, and record keeping. The club sponsors a ski trip, pizza party and an annual banquet.

Who are the people Martians would describe as “metal sockers,” and drum beaters ? They are the Prairie High Pep Band. This year's pep band had a grand ole time exciting the crowd with songs like “Tequilla.” Fans got into it with a little help from the cheerleaders. When the next game rolled around, the players would ask, “Is the pep band going to play tonight ?” “It boosted our morale,” said Amy Check. From the shrill of the flute to the snare of the drum, they all made a difference.lt wasn’t just playing the instruments loudly that mattered. It was that we all wanted to be there, coaxing the teams on to victory. Congratulations “Cookie” on another successful season. What song are we playing?’ Tara, did you break your reed again?” Student Council I move we all skip out and go for pizza. All in favor say “Aye” If only it could be like that. There is more to the Student Council than getting out of class and going out for pizza. The Student Council has been very busy in making Prairie High a better place to be. First, the students walked into improved hallways as the lockers were freshly painted a spirited maroon. Instead of Self-Awareness Month , the council acted out a drunk-driving accident. It went over successfully and made everyone think twice. Students of the Month were chosen . Also a new twist was added, Teacher of the Month. April brought on Teacher Appreciation Week. It was the Council’s way of saying “Thank You,” to the teachers. The Council held the annual “Legs” contest followed by the Sadie Hawkins dance. All proceeds from the dance go to Operation Santa Claus, We collected $410 for the cause. The Council along with the Community Wellness Program held a drug-free New Year’s Eve party, which was a great success. The hardest thing the Council did this year, was getting together and opening the first ever PHS “Spirit Shop.” Finally the Council held the Senior Send-Off Dance. This was a chance to pay just 50 cents for a night of good fun. To sum it up, this year’s Council was a close-knit, hard-working group that gave of their time and energy and still had loads of fun.

This is based on scholarship, grade point average, leadership, service, and character. The student is judged by the faculty and then accepted into the society. The student with the highest average is the top honor student. This year’s top honor student was Shane Hernesman. Row 1: K Hesselberg, J. Wall, K. Jones, P. Frazier. S. Linder, S. Colsch, K.

Some watch movies on VCR’s or go to the theatre. Others like to hang out at the bowling alley. Another favorite thing to do is to play Pictionary, a hot new game that every household should have. Most of us spend more time right here at school than anywhere else. There are dances, athletics, classes, and many other extracurricular activities. Our golden weekend temple! “That was my eighth consecutive gutter ball! Working Hard or Hardly Working? One of the funniest things about jobs is most of your co-workers are your friends. This can make going to work seem just like going out with your pals. The employer; however, may consider it a mixed blessing when the job is turned into a talking session, or a food fight. If the work gets done, and done well, he shouldn’t mind if you mix a little play with working. Like any adult job, it isn’t all fun and games. Hard work and patience are important tools. Each job has its disappointments. Often you are scheduled to work on the night of the big game or on a day when your friends decide to take a shopping spree. These are usually forgotten when that nice paycheck comes, and you can now do all those things you had been missing out on. “The customer is always right The freezer is where it’s at. Jason says, Siskel and Ebert will hear about this. .4 What could be worse than having a brother or sister attending high school, while you are? Unless you are an only child, you probably have an “interesting” reply to this . If you don't have a reply,think back over the years when your brother or sister: - made you late for school (or class), made you wait for them after school (or left you without a ride home), was the cause of anquish from teacher comparisons, was in the same class with you (and got a better grade), simply caused you much embarrassment. Of course, siblings have their benefits. Even if the cons outweigh the pros, you can’t do anything about it. WORDS of WISDOM from senior Deanna Ashby. “If I do happen to see my sister, I just ignore her!” SIBLINGS” Have you hurt your sibling today?” “Catch me. I'm falling” Cell Mates. 66 “ouch What happened to you? How did you do that? Does it hurt? These are some questions that a select few at PHS get to answer. If you are considered lucky to get to answer these questions is another matter. You get to leave early for classes and lunch. “If you break a bone or injure yourself, all the girls feel sorry for you, and they bring you presents, and lots of fun stuff,” said John Chandler. Sports, car wrecks, and other accidents were the reasons some students got to spend more than two months with crutches or a cast. “I was tubing behind a snowmobile when I fell off and my arm got caught in the strap. I wound up with a sprained wrist,” said Karen Bothof. There are many disadvantages to being on crutches, including climbing 100 stairs everyday. One of the biggest, in our sports-oriented school, is sitting out the sports events. Remember: HAVE FUN but KEEP IT SAFE! PAMpcr me! Kick me with your best shot. ARM WRESTLING MANIA In the Junior Class’s attempts to raise funds for Prom, a new idea came about this year — an arm wrestling tournament. The contest was open to everyone. The entry fee was $1. The contest was set up as a single elimination tournament. Finals were held on Monday March 28th, and a fifty cent admission was charged. It was an action-packed, money-making evening and the strongest prevailed and were crowned champions.

You’re sure if you want to go to school, work or just be a bum. When decision making time rolls around, not everyone knows what they really want to do. What you choose to do and where you choose to go, determines the rest of your life. Thank God the guidance office is there to help. Mr. Becwar patiently works with seniors overseeing their decisions and keeping their best interests in mind.

The guys were decked out in the newest fad; basketball and football team sweatshirts. The Chicago Bears, L.A. Raiders, and the U.S. Olympic Team were just a few of the names plastered on their chests. 1988 was the rebirth of the bomber jacket. Guys and gals overcame the $200 price-tag for this year’s Air Force flight look. Scarves are back! Worn around the neck, belted at the waist, or draped over the shoulder; they were in. To reach high fashion in jeans, people wore frosted denim, ripped at the knee and rolled at the cuff. The word for accessories was BIG. The bigger the earrings the better. Loops, chains, triangles, and coils were just a few of the earring designs. Boots became an all season style. They came in every color, texture, height and shape. What was everyone doing? Along with the usual McDonald’s or the bowling alley hang-outs, people were spending their time challenging their artistic talents with the newest rage, “Pictionary.” “Eat your heart out, Star Search.' Seniors are smashed” again. Lose the Shoes. “TOP PICKS OF ’87 • ’88” “Top Flicks” 1. Dirty Dancing 2. Three Men and a Baby 3. Good Morning Vietnam 4. Moonstruck 5. For Keeps 6.

The dances were held in the cafeteria. A local D.J. played for the dances. The favorite music was loud, hard rock. Favorite bands were: AC DC, Motley Crew, Whitesnake, Cinderella, and Billy Idol. For Pop Rock the kids liked Prince, Madonna, Tiffany, Lisa Lisa, and Cult Jam. Michael Jackson made a comeback with his song “Bad.” Rolling Stone said “Fight for your Right” (to party) by the Beastie Boys is the teenagers National Anthem. As long as there are students and great music there will always be school dances. TT. V Sophomore girls talk about the latest gossip. Kurt says, “ Hey dude.” Denton is blinded by the light.

Just clownin' around. 74 The students of P.H.S. had a “hauntingly” good time at the annual Halloween Dance. Just about everyone got into the spirit of things by appearing in some sort of costume, whether it was just a mask or a complete outfit. Since it was a Sophomore dance, the sophomores provided games and entertainment. Students bobbed for apples and grabbed for fake cobwebs, just to name a couple of the games. D-D-David DD-Dondelinger had everyone a moanin’ and a groanin’ with his awesome d.j.ing. There were two best dressed contests, one for singles and one for couples. Kim Jones came as a witch and won the singles category. Sylvestor and Tweety, alias Jason Daniels and Rhonda Boland won the couples contest. The Halloween dance was definitely a “ghostly” fun time had by all. How come only Vicki dressed up? I did! I did see a puddy tat! Winning Legs The 1987 Legs contest was held, as is tradition, the week of the Sadie Hawkins dance. Two candidates from each class were selected by popular vote of the girls in that class. The eight guys picked are then voted on by all girls in varsity sports. The candidates this year were: Jason Sawvill, Rob Wikan, Mike Howard, Mike Trautsch, Tom Olson, Kevin Campbell, Eric Kazda.and our Legs King.Todd Nichols. Francine Cipra served as their escort. Each guy received a candy cane filled with M M’s. 76 Todd bares his prize Legs! The suspense is killing us! The Switch! It was the girls’ trun to take the guys out for the Sadie Hawkins dance this year. The gym was decorated in Christmas fashion, and the event was D.J.’d by Eddie White. At 10:30 there was a grand march after which all contestants in the Legs Contest and their escorts were introduced by Kelly Farrell. It was an exciting night for the students of PHS. And for those who didn’t have dates Underclassmen clump together for security. 77 AUTOGRAPHS MORP You call it a mess, we call it MORP. MORP is PROM backwards, and that is just what it is, a backwards Prom. A girl gets her big opportunity to ask the man of her dreams out. She can’t treat him well, though. She has to wine and dine him at a cheap restaurant, preferably McDonald’s or Hardees. She then pays his way into the dance. Everyone had a blast at the dance. The gym was covered with shredded paper. The highlight of the evening was to see how much garbage could be thrown in someone else’s hair. There was a lot of pushing and shoving and slipping and sliding Rings were lost and contacts gone forever. All in all, everyone had an excellent time. There wasn’t a dance this year that could match MORP! Tag Team Wrestling! “Is there ever a Kevin, without a Moose?” 79 “Parisian Paradise” —r i r—i—-Li i—t—XU i I T n_L The juniors’ Parisian Fantasy” on April 30, 1988, was truly a success. Pink and black crepe paper and balloons were draped around the gym. In the center stood PHS’s own nightime version of the Eiffel Tower, which served as the bridge for the Grand March, at 10:30 p.m. Adam Rocksvold, filling in for John Hendrix, announced the court as Angie Serovy crowned Kevin Campbell as king. Kevin then crowned Nicole Kozelka as queen. As the prom song, Angel” by Aerosmith began to play. Kevin and Nicole made their way to the Eiffel Tower for a spotlight dance. They were followed by the miniature king and queen. Dustin O’Kane and Melissa Kramer. When the clock struck 12:00 the party shifted to the Armory for a post prom party that lasted until 3:00 a.m. For the most part, everyone had a good time.

As of August 10, thirty-nine juniors and seniors reported for practice, amid the high humidity and sweltering heat. Putting in long, hard hours with their two times a day practices, the team worked to prepare for the upcoming season. Moving on into the season the practices became strenuous and intense. “Sometimes a practice would get so intense, that you would literally want to kill your own teammates,’’ as stated by Confer ence Most Valuable Player, Kelly Schissel. That was how we improved. We pushed ourselves and by doing this, we pushed each other.” Just as the practices seemed to be never-ending, the season opener arrived. The mighty Hawks traveled to Mt. Horeb and defeated them. Yet one week later a loss was sustained against Decorah, and then victories. The Hawks jumped back from their defeat and won a string of five in a row, four of them conference games. Lancaster was the first team to fall at the feet of the Hawks. Then there were two straight shut-outs against River Valley and Dodgeville. The real nail biter, however, was the game against Richland Center This rival paid the Hawks a visit and the Hawks handed them a defeat. This defeat did not come easy though, as we counted on Senior Aaron Martin to kick a field goal in the final seconds of overtime. Martin delivered and the Hawks won again. Next came a non conference game against Southwestern. This was still important because it was the Homecoming game. The team didn’t let anyone down as they rolled to a 40 7 victory. Platteville was the team the Hawks had to conquer next. Yet, when we lost a hard fought battle on their home turf, the Hawks also lost the conference title. Finally the regular season ended with a victory over the Cubans of Cuba City. Postseason fever was now on and the Hawks had no trouble getting over their first obstacle, Wisconsin Dells. But then Platteville once again Platteville defeated the Hawks putting an end to the 1987 season. We entered the playoffs with a positive attitude and feel that we represented our school with pride,” stated Coach Be-bow after the season was completed.___________________ Bart consoles Aaron in the waning seconds of the playoff game.

The boys are psyched for the big race. The Agony and the Ecstasy. For the 1987 Cross Country season we were blessed with the addition of a new coach, Chick Westby. To those of us who had been out for Cross Country before, the different coaching style of Mr. Westby helped maintain an interest in the sport throughout the season. This year’s team was very small — by the time of the conference meet we were down to the minimum 5 runners. The survivors did well this season. We had a conference record of 2 -2 , placed 4th in conference and 6th in regionals. The highlight of the season was defeating Dodgeville, 26 - 29 on our home course. Eric Otteson, a freshman, consistently ran as our number two runner. Trent Lamphier ran some fast times for his 1st year. Andy Burns recovered from illnes and injury to place 8th in the conference meet and 12th in regionals. Bob Betzle and Jason Trautsch made impressive improvements during the season.

They supported one another in good and bad situations. The seniors will be missed next year, all six were an asset to the team.

Jamie Mara, Aaron Martin, David Dondelinger, Kent Gilkes and Trent Lamphier. They were well represented with 10 juniors who had a 19-1 J.V. record. The Hawks had their hands full with a tough schedule in a new conference. They were pitted against arch rivals Cuba City and Platteville. The team was picked to do well in conference but the surprise of the season was Lancaster. The Arrows took the SWAL hands down while the Hawks finished 3rd with an 8-4 mark. The Hawks had quite a few bright spots during the season with wins over powerful LaCrosse Central. Minnesota’s highly ranked Winona Cotter and a 3 point shot at the buzzer by A. Martin eliminated Platteville in sub-regionals. The last game against undefeated Lancaster was the brightest spot. The Hawks fought the Arrows into overtime but lost in dramatic fashion on a last second shot finishing the season with a 13-9 record.

Under the leadership of captains Melanie McCullick and Lori Jakobitz, the gymnasts aimed for their personal goals. The team included three juniors, one sophomore, and five freshmen. These girls competed at both the J.V. and Varsity level. Although their season record did not reflect a lot of team success, their personal achievements were great. The high point of their season was the defeat of Hillsboro in the Prairie Invitational. The future looks bright for Prairie gymnastics with the entire team returning next year.

The essential spirit and support, which our students and the community give, are a part of the fuel that keeps our teams striving for excellence This year at PHS we have had a few changes in our fan support. No longer can we jeer at officials, boo the opposing team, or yell back and forth at opposing fans. Even though all of these things were fun; they were unsportsmanlike. The teams still need us to cheer them on. So HEY ALL YOU BLACK-HAWK FANS let’s give our teams a real big hand. 103 H E • M E N A N D T H E M A S T E R S With the toughest sports schedule in the high school, this year’s Prairie High Grapplers ended the season with a 4 - 8 record. Spending a lot of time working with upper body weights, our team received a great deal of respect from all of our opponents in the conference. At most of the tournaments we had great individual results but without fielding a full team, it is difficult to do well in team scoring. “When eight of the fourteen conference teams are rated on the State level, I think my kids deserve a little respect,” claims Coach Gary Collopy.

Returning with practically their full team from the previous season, the team was destined for a successful season. Their biggest goal for the year was to win conference and after accomplishing this, move on to loftier goals. Under the direction of fourth year coach, Jo Howard, and assistant Rich Petsche, the team came very close to winning the conference title. They fell short by two games and finished in 3rd place. One of the highlights of the season was a thriller game played at Iowa-Grant. The game was socreless with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th when lowa-Grant scored. Another thrill was the debut of Stacey Petsche in the circle. Stacey did an excellent job in leading the team to many victories. The biggest downfall was losing a heart-breaking sub-regional game to conference rival Richland Center. This loss ended the season and the careers of six seniors. Award winners for the season were: Co-Captains Rhonda Boland and Kelly Farrell; Most Improved - Denise Thomas; and Most Valuable - Stacey Petsche. 108 Row 1: B. Coach Neil Corlett, A. Remington, M.

The efforts were highlighted by a 1st place finish in the Cuba City Invitational and 2nd place at the SWAL conference meet, Platteville Relays, Knights of Columbus Relays, and Viroqua Invitational. Individually, the team’s top five point scorers were: S. Hernesman, T. Olson, J. Garside, B. Fernette, and J. Hendrix. The top five team place contributors were: Fernette, Olson, Hernesman, Rocksvold, and Hendrix. The team had two State Meet qualifiers: Hernesman in pole vault and Hendrix in the 100 dash. One new school record was established in the 400 relay: 45.2. The team consisted of: Hendrix, Dondelinger, Serovy and Fernette. As you can see it was a super year for the Prairie track and field team, and with the large number of returning underclassmen next year should be even more successful. “I think I can!” 110 Tom and his harem.

As the season progressed, this changed to talent. Despite tough rivals in Cuba City, Lancaster and Platteville. Prairie faired well throughout the season and Carrie Bohnencamp, a freshman, qualified for sectionals placing 6th in the 110 m. hurdles. Considering that Prairie loses few seniors and with the talented underclassmen, SWAL rivals better watch out in 1989. Lori leaps for the sand!

Colors: Maroon and White Flowers: Red White Rose Song: “Here I Go Again” Future’s so BRIGHT Gotta wear shades! 149 Another year has come to an end. The 1988 graduates face their future, all unaware of what lies in store for them. No one will ever forget this past year at Prairie High. We all look back on the first day,watching the newest arrivals walking in circles, large eyes - awaiting their next swirly - and they could never open their lockers. These people are known as freshmen. As the year went on, Homecoming approached. Prairie won the football game, as usual, and Marc Mergen along with Kelly Schissel were chosen as captains. Football season came to a close at the regional game against Platteville. Basketball season began. Along with basketball came the “Sadies” dance and the “legs” contest. The 1987 “Legs” king was senior Todd Nichols. After Christmas vacation it seemed Prom was right around the corner. The school was in a buzz - who would be your date.
