[19] 19 2 9 THE PRAIRIE 19 2 9 [20] 19 2 9 THE PRAIRIE 19 2 9 JUNIOR-SENIOR BANQUET 28 Home Economics Home Economics is not a new field of work. Home Economics embodies cook- ing, sewing, home making, millinery, house planning, infant care and hygienic, house- hold management, interior decoration, and everything that helps to make a pleasant home. In 1915 when the course was introduced in our school there was not very much equipment. During the year the classes in home economics do some outside activities. For the past four years the sophomore class have served a dinner to the school hoard. Dinners arc served also to the faculty. Hot lunch is served at noon by the sophomore and freshman classes. During the year sales of various kinds are held after school. This year a new dining room set has been purchased by the department, and one of the rooms has been renovated into a dining room. [21] 19 2 9 THE PRAIRIE 19 2 9 Agricultural Department The establishing of the agriculture course in the Prairie du Sac High School dates back to 1916. Stanley Johnson was the first instructor and served as agriculture teacher in 1916 and 1917. He was followed by Ivan Ley who directed the department from 1918 to 1922. H. T. Shields has had charge of the agriculture work since 1922. Prairie has the distinction of having the oldest Agriculture Department in Sauk County. In 1925 the Prairie du Sac Department became recognized as a Smith Hughes Vocational Agriculture Department. The Smith Hughes law which was passed bv congress in 1917, provides federal aid for Vocational Agricultural Schools. At the present time there are thirty-seven boys enrolled in the course. The four year agriculture curriculum consists of, plant husbandry the first year; animal husbandry the second year; farm mechanics the third year; and farm economics the last year. The judging teams entered at the state agriculture contest held at Madison last fall took the following places: Stock judging, sixteenth; Egg judging, third; Rope work, second and third. |22J [23] 19 2 9 THE PRAIRIE 19 2 9 Back Rom:: L.

We editors may dig and toil until our finger tips are sore, yet some poor fish is sure to say, “I sawr that one before.” IT’s up to you to tell one now,—A good one. Betcha a lotta fellows wonder how the world ever got along before they were born. Mr. Wachlin requests his classes not to chew gum when he is around, because it re- minds him of cows, at home and that might make him homesick. Miss C rocker to lleene: What s the matter lleene, is your voice gone this morning?” Ileene: “No, not if I can catch it. Miss Crocker: “Well, then see if you can catch it.” Elaine was figuring cut her budget for her family of five. When it came to figuring the amount of money to be spent for recreation, the question arose as to how much she could sPend because of lack of funds. 'I hen Selma said “Elaine will be apt to attend basketball games won t she? Of course it was a perfect play on words, for her husband was to be a school teacher.

Senior: “Did you see how I swayed my audience?” Junior: “Yes, one of them swayed so hard that he woke me up.” One reason some seniors don’t speak good English is because they wish to be understood. 130] 19 2 9 THE PRAIRIE 19 2 9 Why?

That was a sheet!” A small boy sauntering down the street in Lincoln Neb., with two dogs was stopped by an officer. “Have both those dogs got licenses?’ he asked. “The big one’s all right,” answered the youngster, “but the little one is full of 'em.” His shipmates watched the sailor putting a blank sheet of paper in an envelope he had addressed to his wife. “What’s that for?” they asked. “Well, me an’ th’ missus 'ad a row- just afore I come aboard, an’ we ain’t on speak- in’ terms!” “Was it cold? Boy, I’ll say it was! Why, it was so cold that day that the sunshine froze on the pavement, and we had daylight all that night.” “Joe? Why, he’s just an X man!” “An X man?” “Yes. If you postulate, he will expostu- late; if you claim, he will exclaim; if you act, he will exact; if you pound, he will ex- pound.” Th:s bill is reported to have been sent by an Hawaiian carriage driver in Honolulu. It certainly conveys its meaning in clear, concise terms even if the English is slightly questionable: 5 comes and 5 goes at .50 a went-$5. A school teacher from Ypsilanti, one from Kokomo and one from Speonk went on a Cook’s tour and visited Wales. “What funny names these Welsh towns have!” exclaimed all of them in unison. Now comes the story of the absenti minded professor who strolled under the dresser and waited for his collar button to find him. “I see you have a sign in your store;., “We Aim to Please,’ 'f remarked the irritated customer. “Certainly,” replied the proprietor, “that is our motto.” “Well,” retorted the irritated customer, “you ought to take a little time off for target practice. Slam! Freshie: “There’s a town in Ohio named after you.” Proud Senior: “Yes? What’s the name?” Freshie: “Marblehead.” A Good Angler The morning faded into afternoon, which in turn was shadowed by the coming of the night. It was cold and grey. But the angler moved not, save to readjust his bait. He’d been there for many weary hours, when a friend chanced to stroll along the bank. “Hello, George,” he cried, “how many have got? George looked up rather vacantly and re- sponded: “When I get this one I’m after and four more I’ll have five.” A Bad Job Jackson: “The idea of letting your wife go about telling the neighbors that she made a man of you! You don’t hear my wife say- ing that!” Johnson: “No; but I heard her telling my wife that she had done her best. Let’s Play Dog Mistress: “James, run out there and tell those urchins to get off the lawn.

Mr. Doll without that grin? Norma Schriner not giggling? Virgil McCormick without his freckles? Mr. Wachlin with curly hair? William lank looking lean and lank? Marcella Hottman home evenings? A. M.: Mr. Nealy, what name are you going to give this piece of music?” Mr. Nealy: “I’ll be darned if I know.” A. M.: “That’s a funny name lor a piece of music. Said fresie: I have half a mind never to study any more. “My lessons, I forget behind as fast as I learn them before. “Take a look at this coffee. It looks like mud. “No wonder, it was ground this morning.” SMILING It is best to keep cn smiling. For a smile’s a kind of net That catches, by beguiling, All the things it’s meant to get. Said A to B: “1 cannot C why I should get A I). “O, G , said B, “you got A. D., B. cause there is no Z. Mr. Doll: Where was Solomon's temple?” Johnny: Well, unless he was a freak it was in his head.” Of my old Ford they all make fun They say it wras born in 1901 Maybe it wras but I bet It’s good for many a long mile yet. The windshield’s gone, the radiator leaks The fan belt slips and the springs all squeak, She has a rattle in the front And a grind in the rear And a Chinese puzzle for a stearing gear. She shakes the screws and nuts all loose But she sure can go on tobacco juice, When we can’t get gas we burn kerosene, And I have driven home on Paris Green. With high priced cars they give you tools, Some extra parts and a book of rules. But a wrire stretcher and a pair of shears Is all I've carried for fifteen years, And if I live to see the day When she’ll fall to pieces like the one hos shay And if old Hank Ford still stays in the game I’ll buy another, by the same darn name. Silently—day after day- your utility is serving you YOU PRESS a button and the light goes on. You turn a switch and again electricity responds to do some task for you. It is your utilities’ job to give you unfailing service, day after day, month after month, year after year. You rarely think of the great industry which labors cease- lessly to give you the many conveniences and comforts which you enjoy in your everyday life ... You merely take them for granted. Yet, as you go out into the world, no matter what field you choose, you will come to realize the great impor- tance of electricity, not only in your everyday life, but also in commerce, manufacturing, transportation, and communication. And, as you go out in the world, you will find electricity ready, eager to help you on your way to success.
