HISTORY In the year 19U0 the class of '£2 started to climb the foothills of education under the direction of Miss Capoer. The class must have been unusually turbulent and spirited since only twelve were hardy enough to stick with the class for the entire twelve years. They are Douglas Adams, Jon Aton, Shirley Bartnick, Margar- et Bittner, James Buchanan, Shirley Enge, Ivan Guetzkow, Jack Kimer, Ina ..regne$ ITyla Schoephoerster, Arthur Yngsdal, and Phil Trautmann. The size of the class was occasionally increased due to the transient students who came to our school as a result of the activity of the nearby defense plant. There was no teacher courageous enough to tackle the whole group in the fifth grade so the burden was divided between Miss Adams and Mrs. Bramschrieber. They must have been a bad influence because they were moved to a place by themselves in the park pavilion. In spite of the unruly nature of the class it had the honor of establishing the first Safety Patrol during the seventh grade. The next big event of their lives was the eighth grade graduation. (Several of them noted the great sigh of relief of their teacher, Mrs. Kuhnau.) At the beginning of the Freshman year for the first time in their lives some of them actually vrere a little unsure of themselves. It didn't last. After initiation they felt that they really belonged. By their Junior year they had acquired enough noise to olan and attend one of the most successful proms in the school's history. Queen Karen Turkelson and King Jon Aton reigned ove a magical Cinderella land. The class sho ed that it had become of age by ably presenting the three-act play One Foot in Heaven in their Senior year. The financial success it enjoyed helped the class make its Senior Ball memorable. In keeping with Valentines Day, a Sweetheart theme, carried out with huge red and white hearts, furnished a lovely setting for the ball ruled over by Queen Rose Richter and King Dean Taylor. -low graduation is the big event that will end their school days at Pds. They have finally reached a high point on the mountain of education. Some of them will attempt to go higher while others will be content to stay where they are to find happiness. .Thatever happens, I'm sure all of them have enjoyed their years at Prairie and will look back in the years to come and say, Those were tie years of our lives.
