Sprecher,Mather, Gieck SOPHOMORE CLASS In the fall of 1934, forty boys and girls congregated at the Prairie du Sac High School. Because thirty of these forty freshmen were from rural schools,it took us several weeks to be- come acquainted with our schoolmates and to adjust ourselves to high school life, but by the time of the Freshman initiation, we were going good enough to show the Sophomores that we could take it. At the party, the outlandish garments required by the Sophomores,with the good-natured promise of a ducking if we did- n't, were just enough to break the ice. The crowning point of the party was the lunch, and the climax was the dance in the evening. From then on we were considered full-fledged Freshmen. Five Freshmen took part in the final forensic contest— Violet Lohr, Phyllis Bickford, Kathryn Meng, and Ivan Kindschi. Our class advisor for this year was Miss Hurley. This fall Mr. Shields was appointed our class advisor. Not being able to forget the manner in which we were ushered into our high school career, we initiated the freshmen in like manner this fall. 19

W'e have the record of beirg one of the smallest freshmen classes in ten years, but that doesn’t mean that we aren’t going to be the most up and coming class that ever entered Prairie High School. At our first meeting we elected officers with our advisor, Miss Hurley, presiding over the meeting. Then there came a whisper that the initiation party was not very far off. After school on the day of initiation we paraded around town in our costumes. Later we were required to impersonate radio and movie stars and do many funny things. Finally there was a school dance. From our class Dwayne Schweppe and Glenn Sorg were out for football; and Le Roy Schneller, Glenn Sorg, Robert Kindschi, Harry Volz, Warren Hart, Dwayne Schweppe, and Winton Schriner were out for basketball. The girls also took part in school activities, such as music, athletics, and forensics. 20
