Prairie Du Sac High School - Prairie Pride Yearbook (Prairie Du Sac, WI)

Text from Pages 1 - 88 of the 1958 volume:

Janus. - Roman god of beginnings Each community has its school - a brick structure, tall windows, numerous steps, and an assemblage of teachers and students. Some schools are this and nothing more. We have witnessed new beginnings - in facilities, in courses, and in student-teacher relationships. It is our desire that these beginnings be neither overlooked nor forgotten in the history of our high school. Presented in the 1958 PRAIRIE PRIDE published by the students of Prairie du Sac High School Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin 1 DEDICATION MR. FRANKHANRATH Carroll College B. A., University of Wise. M. A., Principal, Advisor of F. T. A., Advisor of Student Council, Co-Advisor of Senior Class. We must begin at the first beginning. In September, 1956, Prairie du Sac High School welcomed a new administrator. He brought with him an endless quantity of patience, solutions to problems, and a vision of the right kind of school. In two short years we see the results of that vision - not only in structure but also in the philosophy of education. In order to fully express our appreciation we dedicate this yearbook to you, Mr. Hanrath, as the originator of these beginnings. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 men e €t U up cata t£e acci c ioo£ c ieer.

The year 1957-58 was a busy and pros- perous year for the F.F.A. in its three divisions: farm skills, productive and im- provement enterprises. At the Green Lake state convention seven high honors were obtained including the Chapter Honor Award. Members exhibited in the county and state fairs and in the swine and barrow shows. Sen- iors attended the Livestock Exposition in Chicago. The chapter conducted an annual paren parents banquet and also co-sponsored a farm institute.

The Music Department of Prairie High School has lapped the track , so to speak, in its achievements this year. The band mem- bers started out the year with a bang by reaping raves with their exciting football shows. Having moved into the fine new band room, the band mothers and the school board saw fit to grand them new uniforms. The new band room saw much use during the tournament season with solo and ensemble practice and to show what musical accomplishments had been made, iall and spring concerts were given. Never before has Prairie High had such an eager and active musical organization; the hope is that it will continue with the same spirit in the years to follow. 59 Drum majorettes Nancy Ferry, Virginia Trautmann, and Judy Tar- nutzer help chief drum major Dean Sandeman keep the Prairie band smartly stepping. The citizens of Titipu, Glen Klotz, Dick Mueller, Don Moely, Bob Pick and Tom Young humbly defer to the comic Lord High Executioner, Tom Trautmann. The whole cast bows ceremoniously to the audience at the finale's end. The trio of girls, Karen Colby, Judy Hamilton and Paula Smith, warble gaily, as befits their light and flippant personalities. 60 SQUARE DANCING - Sitting: Miss Mayer, Advisor, Carolyn Lang, Linda Grenie, Jane Holway, Lorraine Klukas, Connie Bell, Mary Savides, Joan Heine, Sandy Diehl.
