Work is not necessarily over when school hours are finished. For many
students, part-time jobs, and various other activities, provide
opportunities to relax, enjoy themselves, and participate and learn by
getting involved.
On a given night, one might expect to be doing any number of
things. Maybe sitting at home, cramming for a Social Studies
Seminar test, crashed out on the couch after a rough
practice, getting ready for the date you’ve been waiting for
the whole week, or talking on the phone for hours.
The average student usually spends his evenings in
a combination of activities, ranging from attending a
school sponsored event to sleeping, and generally
leads a relatively normal social life.
Those students with jobs, however, are
forced to alter their schedules often, passing
up chances to have fun because . . .
“ Sorry. I have to work.”
Holding down a job while in high
school can sometimes be difficult,
yet also rewarding. Reasons for
putting up with the hassles that
a job can bring are varied,
still, the biggest influence is
the money!
,
Junior Nick Lehmkuhl expressed
dissatisfaction with his job at Bishop’s,
“ If it wasn’t for the money, I’d quit!
Minimum wage is $3.35 an hour, but I’m
making about $3.60 an hour now.”
The Target department store employs many
students from Prairie, one of which is Holli
Kemmerer. A senior, Holli works as a cashier for
$5.05 an hour, basically earning money for college
and a car.
Though certainly interested in the money, Cynthia
Dennis had other important reasons for getting a job.
‘Since I hurt my knee, I couldn’t really go out for any
sports. I needed something to occupy my time, so I got a job
at Jack’s. You get to meet all kinds of interesting people that
you wouldn’t run into everyday, and having a job has helped me
handle school better. I’ve learned to relate to different types of
people in a positive way.”
Whatever the reason for getting a job in the first place, jobs play a
major role in the life of many students at Prairie.

Spirit to Spare
Weekly pep assemblies during the football season
and throughout the year, planned by the cheerleaders
and pom pon girls, provided us with entertainment
while firing everyone up for the big games.
Highlighted by amusing skits and routines such as
“ Workin’ in a Coal Mine,” and “ That’s a Fact Jack!” ,
races and countdown cheering contests between the
classes, and of course the lively pep talks from the
coaches, the assemblies always ended with the playing
of the “ Prairie Fight Song” to further encourage
us to get out there and rally behind our Hawks!
Particularly special was the assembly back at
school the night after we had won state. The caravan
of buses and cars,
their headlights stretching for
miles, finally overflowed the parking lot and
thousands of happy people packed into the gym to
honor the team.

Do you remember the first day of school? Looking down the English
wing it seemed like an endless projection of doors! What was your
reaction to the combination Typewriter; T.V. in the resource
room?
The walls in the English wing and the Apple II computer
are two of the new added attractions to the academics
this year.
Academics have also added many other
features to the program. There was a
technical addition made by the ShopII
class. They built a dust collector on to
the south end of the building. There
were also many new faces
around the school. Even the
faculty members that we
are used to seeing may
be presenting
different
courses.
4#
There was even a new teacher who
brought an old subject a new script,
meaning, Mrs. Keefer brought many new
ideas to the Home Economics Department.
Mr. Jensen became a permanent understudy
for Mr. Hoffman. While Mr. Wessel is a great new
supporting actor in the Social Studies area.
Even though there may have been some new lines
added to the Academics script, the show still has the
plot . . . Learning!

to Prairie High School is Senior
Option P.E.
Senior Option is when the student
chooses a subject in which
they have to participate in once a
week.
Those subjects can be
anything from horseback riding to
roller skating. The student has to
compile a notebook about his
subject.
Another alternative to PE is First
Aid and Nutrition. This is a fairly
new course taught by Mick Mattiace.
Not too many students who
have taken first aid have any complaints,
except for the fact that first
aid is only V2 credit. Students feel
that there is more work involved
with first aid than there is in a
regular P.E. class.
This year in P.E. they added the
use of video tapes to help improve
the learning process.

Publications: The Classroom Dimension
At first glance, publications is one
classroom unit. However, if you take
another look, you’ll see a class cut up
into many, many dimensions.
There’s plenty of work to go
around in publications. Students work
on both the yearbook and newspaper.
The first dimension tackled in the
class, is finding a theme for the yearbook.
Staff members also brainstorm
for interesting articles to run in the
newspaper.
Another dimension to the class is

a very valuable asset. The students on

Leadership and responsibility are
an everlasting dimension, that each
student is faced with a lot before the

To the average person who sticks
his head into the classroom it would
appear to be mass chaos,
but that’s
what it takes to publish news; that,

Studies
Sees New
Face
Social Studies is a combination of
politics,
economics, history ,
geography, and human relations. The
Social Studies Department at P.H.S.
offers classes from understanding
human behavior to learning about the
physical layout of the world.
To teach these topics the teachers
must put in a lot of hard work to be
able to explain them in their lectures.
This year has only one change to
the department. Mr.
Wessel, who
taught P.E. at the Junior High, was
moved to the High School to fill in a
vacancy. He was faced with a new
concept, teaching a
“ book” subject,
which required him to do a lot more
preparation and experiment with facing
a classroom of students. He felt it
was easier and more comfortable for
him, already knowing most of his
students from the Junior High.
This year didn’t have as many major
events involving politics or
economics,
but a few students were
offered the chance to travel to New
York to tour the United Nations.
Seven P.H.S. students got involved in
this activity.

This year the English Dept,
has
added a new class for the gifted and
talented students. The class is called
E.L.P.,
which stands for Extended
Learning Program.
The students in this class are
selected on the basis of referral forms,
filled out by both teachers and
students, by standard test scores and
by a committee selected to weigh the
variables of the three.
The class’s main purpose is to build
up leadership,
awareness of the world around them.

A new year in Science has inspired
teachers to set new goals for
themselves and their students.
We asked each Science teacher this
question,“ What is new in Science this
year?” Life Science teacher Mr .
Jensen replied,
“ We’ve changed a lot
of things; Sophomores work more
together than they do independently,
this way it keeps everyone at the
same level.” Biology teacher Mr.
Osland stated,
“I ’ ve been using a few
methods this year. I have been emphasizing
an areaif the students seem
interested in that area.I add new activities
as I think of them; it changes
from year to year.”
Chemistry teacher Mr.
Rienets
answered, “ In the labsI try and let the
kids have more time to think up and
do more lab experiments. Lab time is
often limited.”
We talked to students of these
Science classes to get their outlook on
what Science is like to them this year.
Life Science Student Angie Neis
replied, “ My favorite unit is Birds and
Mammals,
because I like to learn of
new onesI never heard of before.”
When we asked Biology student
Wes Durow the same question he
answered,“ It’s a good class.
It’ s interesting
looking into crayfish. I like
Mr. Osland, he’s a good teacher.”
A surprised Mr. Osland is caught checking
papers.
Mr. Jensen pointing out the facts to his class.
“ Shoot, another lab up in smoke!’’ “ It’s ok
Mr. Rienets, it was a small explosion.”

The annual end-of-the-year mini
courses were a big success again thanks
to the help of faculty and students.
There was some doubt as to whether
mini courses would be held this year, but
due to the efforts of a few students who
raised money for the candy sale,
mini
courses were once again made
available.
Thirty-one mini courses were offered
to sophomores and juniors, ranging from
habitat to table games.
Mini courses were enjoyed by all who
participated because they stimulated
positive student-teacher relations and
made good use of the time that was left
at the end of the year.

Sophomores: Numbers Small, Hearts Big!
Despite a disappointing 2-7 record,
the 1981 Sophomore Football Team
played with a lot of heart and determination.
These 18 young men had to
work extra hard to make up for
limited numbers that went out.
The leading rusher for the Hawks
was Robert Pavlicek with 566 yards,
3.7 yards per carry. Leading the team
in tackles was Brian Weldon with 31,
17 of them being solos. Brian Ceynor
averaged 20.2 yards a catch to lead
the team in receiving with 162 yards
on 8 receptions.
“ We needed more people out for a
complete team,” admitted head
Coach Kevin Behrends.
“ The people
that went out did a super job and
were a good bunch of individuals.”

On the Mats and in the Snow.
This year the wrestlers had more to
battle than the opposing teams. There
were the problems of the snow and
the injuries.
The canceling of both
meets and practices caused by the
snow storms, seemed a familiar occurance
around school. According to
Varsity Coach Jim Kimball “ Snow
and the injuries really hurt the team
this year, although we still had a winning
season. The snow also hurt us as
far as the tournaments and state.”
Tri-Captain Scott Penrod replied “ We
had a bad season because of the snow
and injuries.”
Gary Swartz, Tri-Captain, had a different
opinion “ I feel we did very
good for a young team. We only had 5
seniors out.
I was very glad to be on
the team and proud of it.” Marlon

This year’s sophomore boy’s basketball team finished the year 12-6, tieing
a school record for sophomore victories. The Hawks were led in scoring by
forwards Doug Woods and Paul Gavin, and center Kevin Heilers. The team
was lead in rebounding by Heilers and Woods. The Hawks lost 5out of their
first 9 games, but finished up by winning 8 out of 9 games and finished second
place in the E.C.I .C. This year’s team has one of the tallest forward
courts to come through Prairie in a long time, and with their steady improvement,
could be one of the better teams in the metro in the future.
The girl’s sophomore team didn’t fare as well. They failed to win a game
during the season, but that didn’t dampen their spirits. They were led in scoring
by Corene McGinn and Karla Osborn. The girls never gave up, even if
they fell behind, and always tried to make the score close at the end of the
game.

The Prairie Girls’ Softball Team opened
its ’82 season with three wins and no
losses.
They split a 11
in the Jefferson Tournament,
winning against Iowa City, City
High and losing to Clear Creek.
The Hawks are 10
in their conference
and are trying for the ECIC conference
title.
Rain has been an inconvenience during
the softball season. During the opening
weeks of the season,
three games
had to be rescheduled due to rain. The
team is hoping for better weather the
rest of the season.
Last year’s Softball team finished
with a record of 17 wins and 15 losses.

Something that adds structure to school, builds school spirit and in
general gets people more into school, are the clubs and
organizations.
These groups seem to get people involved in extracurricular
activities that may not necessarily be sportsminded.
They have a chance to promote “ school spirit”
in
their own way.
Being part of a club or an organization lets
people show off their different talents that they
may have. Membership in a group gives
students a chance to perform.
Students may also actually receive
credit for their role in some of these
organizations, such as band and choir.
So, as you will see, there are many different
things for people to get interested in other than
the typical school work or sports . . .

Cheerleaders Give It Their All
Crawling out of bed at six a.m., or
earlier, getting to school before seven,
making posters, practicing cheers, putting
candy in lockers, and taping signs in
the hallways. Who was responsible for
doing all these things? Things that
helped promote school spirit and unity,
fired up the student body, and made the
people that were involved in sports feel
appreciated? The girls on the
cheerleading squads did them.
The cheerleaders this year really
gave it their all. They devoted their free
time to cheerleading. They put in extra
hours to really do their best.

Dubishar said, “ All the work we did paid

“ Cheerleading is a great experience.
You get to know the people you work
with really well. It helps to be involved in
activities when you’re just a sophomore
and new to the high school,” said Marcy
Patton.
The 81-82 cheerleaders were a great
bunch of girls and were appreciated by
many. They did their best and gave it
their all.
Especially since it was our first
championship season. Our squad had

e in choir.
First of all there are lessons that every choir member must attend in order to get credit. These are usually scheduled for
ne mod each cycle. There are about 5-10 people in each lesson group. The reasons for the lessons are so that Mr . Price,
~e choir director, can work with students on a more personal level and also to see how members are progressing. Your
*
rade is based partly on your attendance to your lessons and how you participate in them.
Another part of choir that every member is involved in is Coffee House. This is a musical written by the members of
choir and everyone must participate in it to receive credit. The show is put on for two nights and after the last performance
iere is a cast party and so the effort is well worth it.
The Choir Club is a very important part of the music department. Members of the Choir Club join at the beginning of the
pear. The Choir Club mainly does a lot of planning and organization for the choir.
Even parents are an important part of choir. The parents of all students in choir make up what is called, Music Parents
' -.e Music Parents play a big role in making choir and its activities a success. This year’s Music Parents sponsored a dance

Our school system is unique in that it draws people from a wide
range of communities and backgrounds.
Teachers commute every day from Mt. Vernon, Iowa
City, and as far away as Newhall. Students come from
Cedar Rapids, Swisher, Shueyville, Ely, Fairfax,
Walford, and everywhere in between!
x>»
This mixture of locations provides fc.
a very special group of people at Prairie
High School. Our administrators are
concerned, and our faculty is always willing
to help students in any way possible.
The students of course hold the majority, but
everyone involved with our school helps to build the
framework we are so proud of by contributing to
“ Some Place Special.”

When asked what they liked about
the high school they replied: Paul
Gavin: You have a wider choice of
what classes you can take. Chuck Hardin:
It’s better all around because of
more free time and getting to choose
your classes. Vicki Wilcox: You have
more time to yourself and to get help
from your teachers. Amy Fisher: I like
the high school better because the
staff doesn’t treat you as if they were
babysitting you. Julie Rotter: You can
go anywhere in your free time. Rena
Filling: You can do what you want
when you’re free. Joel Flack: I like the
high school sports better. Kim Cline:
The classes aren’t long and you get to
know each other better. Renee Lauck:
The teachers treat you like you’re
more mature and your schedule is
neat and allows you to take about any
class. Jim Brase: The high school differs
in that there is more responsibility,
individualism,
and future training.
Ann Hagen: I like the high school
because you are able to take different
kinds of classes, go out for more
sports, and be more involved. Dawn
Stewart: In the high school you get
more chances for involvement in
sports, drama, and music.

Your senior year in high school can
be a very difficult time. This is your
last year of security. The last year of
participating in school events and activities.
After
graduation, you are
faced with the question of what to do
and where to go. Many of this year’s
seniors have been laid off and job
prospects are scarce. Money is tight
and high paying jobs are hard to
come by. The seniors have worked
hard to make the most of their final
year in school.
“ Kindergarten seems so long ago.
It is a big relief to finally get done
with thirteen years of school, ” said
Kelly Lamb.
—
Teri Bennett added,
May 23,
“ We have been working for years for
that one special day
1982.” “ Sometimes, I wish I could go
back to junior high and start all
over,” stated Tommy Johnson.
Many seniors like the feeling of
security that they have in high school.
They have a roof over their heads
and food to eat. A lot of students
have a job so they can earn extra
spending money.
This money is
usually spent on movies, gas, clothes,
or on their car.
Kelly Blackwell confessed,
“ I’ll miss the security I have
in knowing that I go to school every
day where things are familiar and I
can still act like a kid.”
“ Everything I dreamed of happened
this year,” said Brian McNeal.
“ Prairie is really ‘Someplace
Special’ ” added D. J. Holvenstot.
“ This year was special to me
because we won volleyball games
against teams we had never beaten
before. We came to school late or
skipped school,” commented Kathy
Nearad.
“ I think I learned the most
as a senior, My junior year I just
wasn’t into school,” replied Kevin
Hadenfeldt. Todd Salat likes being a
senior because “ He’s king!” Sam
Selzer feels that the seniors run the
school.
Curt Woods has another view of
the senior year at P.H.S. “ I served
my time, gave it my best, and now I’ll
move on to bigger and better things!”
Brook Weldon says he can’t wait to
get out of high school and “ start life.”
Dot Pospiscil is the teacher that influenced
the majority of students according
to a class survey.
Scott
Douglas said his most enjoyable class
was World History because “ Jeff
Wessel is a Cub fan.” Most seniors
picked sex roles or consumer ec as
their favorite class. Marlon Blaha and
Tim Appleget said they like P.E. and
recess.
Chris Gallagher liked “ being crazy
and getting away with it.” “ When
you act goofey, teachers say it’s just
senioritis,” stated Lisa Campbell.
Doug Blair best sums up the feelings
of seniors when he says, “ We’ve
made it through all our years of
school and it looks like we are going
to graduate. We want to and then
again we don’t want to.”
How will we feel after we graduate?
Will we be glad we did or will
we wish we were back to the safety
and security of ‘Someplace Special’?
