Does it sound like a strange combination ? They all came together on Homecoming Week. On Tuesday, one member of the Student Council found out how it feels to gallop down the hall yelling, "The British are coming, the British are coming!" This was just one of the goofy things that Student Council members did on T-Shirt and Slave Day. Student Council members also sold themselves as slaves. Anyone could buy a slave for ten cents a minute. The slaves did anything their buyer wanted them to do (within reason). Bonnie Benesh, Student Council sponsor, had to crawl Many Student Council it around the cafeteria on her hands and knees. members had to sing, bark, yell, and even beg. Even though these things happened only on the green, added some excitement to Spirit Week. On Wednesday, Grease Day, Greasers, pigtails, bobby sox, leather jackets, and poodle skirts were fashionable. A few girls even wore roller skates. In the afternoon, everyone hopped over to the Sock-Hop in the gym. During the dance a Volkswagon was stuffed with people. Everyone really got into the spirit of the day. Scott Grabe, Below, barks for money on slave day. Bruce Jenner (Scott Appleget) shows his strength, Top Right, by raising the "mummy" ters showed up for Character Day. The Student Council held a contest in the gym to judge the characters. Two clowns, Chris Goetsch and LeaAnn Goodall, won the prize for Best Couple. The Keystone Cops and Charlie Chaplin: Emma Jo Fairlie, Lila Thompson, Clar Kaimrei, Robert Jennings, Ron James, and Darrell Truit, received the prize for Best Group. The Best Teacher was a tie between The Hulk, Robert E. Hawkins, and The Cowboy: Floyd Smith. A gorilla, Deb Dryland, won Best Character. As usual, Spirit Day arrived on Friday. Everyone dressed in the school colors. Girls all wore their Homecoming buttons. If they talked to a boy, they had to give him their button. The boy who had the most buttons at the end of the day won a prize. The halls were imaginatively decorated by each class and the band played through the halls. During the parade and pep rally in the afternoon, the prizes for the hall decorating and the float contests were awarded. The Junior Class won twenty-five dollars for the Best Float and a spirit trophy with the class name engraved for the Best Decorated Hall. Bonnie Benesh awarded the prize for the Hushbutton contest.

On Friday and Saturday, November 10 and 11, it was revealed that Bud (Dennis Haren), the janitor/ guru of The Last Resort', was the flasher in Coffeehouse. He had been terrorizing four female senior citizens, among others. These ladies, Isabel Crackin (Kathy Poduska), Gertrude Goose (Sharon Potter), Wilma What (Gayle Loomis), and Mabel Sirup (Amy Greenlief), had reportedly been indulging in some "Charleston, Flappers, and Razamataz". It was Mabel Sirup, along with the manager of the resort, Mr. Finegin (Darrell Truitt), who found the identity of the flasher to be Bud. Bud was dismissed on the spot. However, it was later discovered that Bud was actually the owner of the lodge. Mr. Finegin was then fired. Lisa Crackin (Sarah Hartman) told us "What I Did For Love" by calling "Hey Jude" to Jude, the head ski instructor (Kirk Statler), and telling him she'd always be his "Candle on the Water". Further complicating the plot were Lisa's friends, Sylvia Smith (Susan Marak) and Jane Doe ( Dede Scheetz), ski instructors Bunnie Hill (Caren Jean Batt) and Luke Warm (Kurt Tjelmeland), honeymooners Edward and Agnes Bogdonovitch (Chris Bell and Chris Brentner), Dr. Right: One of the activities the public rarely sees: Lisa Jensen applies makeup to Joanne King.

With the entire production created by the cast, it was an example of living improvisation. Some of the material was actually created as the actors performed. There was no set script. The show was directed by Terry Dyrland, who said the reason he did the show in this way was because he wanted to get an idea of the type of acting talent here at Prairie. In his opinion, the show proved that there is so much talent that it gave him the courage to plan two other plays for this spring, "The Glass Menagerie" and "The Importance of Being Earnest". Both of these take good acting abilities. The children' s play was a new experience for Mr. Dyrland, as he had never done a play in living improvisation before. The group began rehearsing in December, and in February traveled to two Cedar Rapids elementary schools: Hayes and Jackson. They were well received by the kids. The final performance was given in the Prairie High School Little Theatre, on February 17. There was a pretty good crowd, about 100 adults and 100-150 students and children. They also enjoyed the play. The cast included: Darrell Truitt, Teri Stockton, John Serbousek, Jim Pitts, Connie O'Connor, Mike Gillette, Jon Gillette, Dian Gallagher, Joan Ely, Tammy Jones, Tom Hofer, Amy Greenlief, Keith Elias, Julie DeNeui, Matthew Clothier, Rhonda Brenda Boland, Chesley, Chris Brentner, Debbie Bottoms, Jim Booth, Mike Bach, Darren Bogner, and Debbie Ashbacher.

When the plays were presented was also a first at Prairie. Two of the shows were given as matinees during school. The students were allowed to attend the plays if their teachers gave permission. Since the shows were all performed on one stage, the background posed a special problem. It was made of nine muslin flats formed into three triangles of three flats each. These were then painted so that when they were assembled they formed a scene for each of the three shows. The shows were: " The Importance 18 Spring Plays of Being Earnest", "The Glass Menagerie", and" P.H.S. Improvisations" .

Couples "boogied down" to the music of Spice, an excellent and very versatile band. It went over very well. The setting for the prom was decorated in pastel colors, which fit in well with the decor of the Sheraton Inn. Planning for the prom started very early. The Juniors, who sponsored the prom, began having concessions at sports events when they were still sophomores to raise money. The biggest money raiser, however, was the magazine sales. This was done to make up for not being able to have the football concessions at Kingston Stadium. Juniors sold many different magazines and raised quite a substantial amount. They had meetings nearly every day for two months to plan for the prom. Many, many other people also helped, and a special thanks to them Sharing the Night Together for all their effort. All the Prairie people who attended had a great time. The committee in charge of the prom was: Dan Dennis, Cindy Thrap, Terri Vogt, Scott Appleget, Jill Johnson, Marjean Blaha, Debie Kuda, and Ms. Mulherin and Mr. Bruns, the Junior Class sponsors.

The Fighting Hawks beat Beckman 22-20, and came back to win four out of the remaining five games. In the conference they tied LaSalle for second place with three wins and two losses. Because of revisions taking place on our own John Wall Memorial Field, home games took place at Kingston Stadium this year. Being on a different field did affect the team, and probably the fans , too. The fans were not as loud and encouraging as usual. According to Coach McCue, however, the band was a big help. "No doubt about it, the band did the best job to encourage the team." Coach McCue also said, "The 1978 football team was loaded with talent and had a large group of guys to build on." The high points of the season were definitely the winning games, especially turning things around by winning the last four out of five. Another high point was the players themselves, who worked hard and played well. Many of the players received special recognition. Wayne Butcher and Ken Cooperman made first team All Conference, offense; Jeff Hare and Trent Ross made first team, defense. Corky Summers, Mitch Porter, and Trent Ross made second team All Conference, offense; Wayne Butcher and Ken Cooperman also made second team, defense. These teams were chosen by the coaches of the conference teams.

A very emotional game was against Iowa City West, lost with one second to go. Coach Bruns' comments: worked very hard all year. With just a few breaks we could have had a 1 3-7 record.

No matter what evening you stop by Prairie it seems there is always something going on. And, it is some - thing different almost every night. Besides all the sports and fine arts activities, you can visit special events . There were a few sports contests different from the usual ones. Many people enjoyed donkey basketball for the second year. New at Prairie was the Faculty-Senior basketball game. For the dancers in the group there were plenty of chances. The Homecoming celebration dance, the Sadie Hawkins Dance, marathon and prom were just a few of the evenings Prairie kids could "shake their bootie". The Christmas assembly featured the usual fare. Seasonal music, Santa and his elves, the faculty acting foolish and treats for the kiddies entertained everyone on the day before vacation. A new feature at Prairie was the honors banquet. Any student who achieved a three point five grade average first semester was invited to bring his parents to a pot luck. Many families, along with staff and administration, enjoyed the evening. the choir dance Below: John Serbousek accompanies Dede Scheetz on a fine rendition of “The Way You Do the Things You Do" for the Talent Show . Scott Simon provided more guitar backup. It was a very uptown affair, with woodwind ensembles playing during dinner and fine speaking after. Probably the most well known, and well attended, entertainments are the annual Music Parents' Variety Show and the Choir Club Talent Show. The Variety Show was again a huge success, with entertainment everywhere, people eating all kinds of treats and everyone carting home prizes. The Talent Show drew an especially big crowd; and once again featured a wide variety of good acts from all five buildings.

They were taken through the plant and shown, step by step, how the yearbook is put together. This included people making the final page layout and copy, making the photographs the correct size, shape and density, the fall also. The editors of the Hawk Talk are: Editor-in-Chief-Kevin Vondracek, and Carles Martin, the printing of the pages, and the binding of the book. This visit and workshops which some member attended gave the staff some of the ideas which they used in the yearbook. The yearbook staff has 16 people on it. Six are returning members, and ten are new members. The layout editor is Kathy Gause, copy editor is Deb Ashbacher, photo editor is Mike Terpkosh, and index editor is Amy Greenlief. The newspaper classes, who work on the Hawk Talk, attended a workshop in Co-News-Linette Grisham Feature-Tom Hofer, Editorial-Betsy Pipkin, SportsRon Smith, Layout Manager-Scott Grabe, Circulation Manager— Rhonda Chesley, PhotographerJeff Sadecky. The Editor-in-Chief is in charge of seeing that everyone gets his job done. The page editors are responsible for their pages. They supervise the people and proofread for errors. The purpose of the paper is to bring facts and interesting information to the students. One way they try to do this is through feature columns. These include "What's Up Hawk" by Dawn Becicka, "Food for Thought" by Tom Hofer, "That's Entertainment" by Mike Gillette, and "On the Line" by Jeff Hare. lit .

Back Row: Cheryl Lowther, Sherry Hauschild. Cheerleaders put forth a great deal of time and effort to promote school spirit and cheer on the athletes. At the football games, wrestling meets, and basketball games the girls were always behind the players supporting them even when the team was losing. This year the cheerleaders were busy with many different activities along with cheering at the many sports events. The football cheerleaders started out the season by attending a camp at Lake Okoboji. They learned many new cheers and got some ideas for pep assemblies. Throughout the school year, Varsity Style the cheerleaders got to put some of their ideas to use. Some of the pep assembly activities were competition cheers between classes, relay races, short contests between athletes, and encouraging wo r ds f r om t he coaches. The girls also sold Spirit Towels and buttons to promote school spirit. The money made from these sales went towards paper supplies which were used to make posters and tee-pee the athletes' houses. The cheerleaders didn't always make posters and cheer at games. They practiced, too. During a sports season they would practice three to four hours a week. A lot of hard work went into cheerleading, yet it was fun being in the organization. The girls did a super job in promoting school spirit and encouraging the teams this year.

These activities were to help the students learn more about a certain area of study. They ranged from Slog Day held in the fall to the egg simulation in the spring. Slog Day was an activity to show students the effect of prejudice and bias which minorities must face. The sociology department sponsored the event in which students of the class had to wear special shirts to show they were slogs. Slogs were required to sit in special areas in the library, lunchroom, and classes. The egg simulation was a game in which students carried an egg around to teach them about child care. The experiment which took a week proved to be challenging to those who took part; since keeping an egg that long through a normal week warrants special care by the parents. The eggs had to be cared for throughout the week and if the egg was broken a trial would be held. If found guilty of egg beating, the parents could serve a time in detention. In psychology, Mr . Myers presented a baby of his own. The doll was to help students learn about the new born baby and how it develops. Students had to help in certain activities to show the reflexes a new born baby has. All of these activities showed the students new insight into the area of human development. 78 Social Studies Below: )eff Moon, a Sociology, student takes part in Slog Day.

The music and foreign language departments have all taken a trip recently or are planning a trip out of state soon. Last August the Spanish classes went to Mexico; last April, German kids went to Germany; in June, the choir went to Hawaii, and the band is planning a trip to Texas. German is one of the foreign languages offered. In high school, students can have an exposure to two years of German. In tenth grade the study of grammar and oral drills are finished and German conversation books are started. During this part of the year little written work is done. In the junior and Senior years the conversation books are finished. Supplements to this include learning customs, history, German cities. and reading about All these things are preparatory for the trip to Germany. Before the students leave for Germany they write a letter in German telling about themselves; then, a family for them to stay with is selected. The trip is 17 days in length. Six days are spent with a family and eleven in travel. Spanish is the other foreign language that you can take. The Individualized Spanish class makes it possible for students to start Spanish in high school, or continue their Spanish if they can't fit the regular class into their schedule. In addition to working on their basic skills, the advanced classes have included other activities during class time. Spanish II students have read a book about the Cival War in Argentina (in Spanish) and watched a television situtation comedy called Que Pasa, U.S.A. The Spanish III class read a mystery which takes place in Mexico and mentions many of the places the students have visited themselves.

Far Below: Linette Grisham and Kathy Neitderhisar go through some songs at the piano. < There are two classes that you can take if you are really interested in music and that are a bit of a challenge. One of them is new this year. It is Jazz Improvisation. Mr. Henley is the instructor. The class had about a dozen students enrolled and meets once a week. Next year it will meet three times a cycle. Jazz Improvisation is where an improvisor creates a musical idea in his head and transfers it immediately to music via an instrument. Improvisation is more dangerous than composing, which is creating a musical idea in your head and transferring it to paper, because mistakes can't be erased or discarded. This makes it a very personal, very scary, and a very exciting art form. The class is intended for students who want to learn to improvise for their own satisfaction. This class is useful for jazz band or for a person becoming a music major in college. The other class is not new. It is Music Theory. The instructor is Mr. Price. This class was taken by about twelve to fifteen students, who meet every other day for two mods. Music Theory is a study of musical notation. Included are letter names, rhythms, both major and minor scales, and how to write music. To complete the course a student must write an original composition. The class should be considered if you are considering music as a career. ׉ 7cassandra://SrnmGRsnE40zM0gHIKR78jhNjemP_GgKMLuJyjOH1OA"`Zy|mVZy|mV0]בCט Su׉׉ 7cassandra://Phf6aSFClidzJAeGR0WU73nA93XRBRE3j8iYiwzBXAs`׉ 7cassandra://-7DecmkaJC1UIbcc3ZwE_8Uh3p-vVXpb4MVTAT-hJtQ]`s׉ 7cassandra://w5JVx0iakeSHOh5c8Aot1ed0UZ18ZNEZBTFUjBKaTD0#h`׉ 7cassandra://73ndE7HChloxcOKTtOKeib0s0M8ZwFb_99Il7Zo3iJE͠]Zy|mVט  Su׉׉ 7cassandra://IBOw2CpZLVFulv3NHKq85Y3pfd63yaD4ZuOXdBpKqkE`׉ 7cassandra://bdcgA5wKk8uJ1VBzHpe-zXrnx9LqbVrr9DJDm_gQTIUS`s׉ 7cassandra://1Bc6jk0WAxMHe4I85vBgplSZRjMwVbdoL96xuEFEKWo`׉ 7cassandra://So9yRllTc-B43ez8aFLx1QMcQIzyE-5yMATHYybRnL8͠]Zy|mV׉EWood, Metal, Grease, Fabric and Food Two of the most popular areas of the building during the day are the Industrial Arts and the Home Economics classes.

Within this section, the individual pieces of the puzzle are joined together. Administration, teachers, support staff, sophomores, juniors and seniors are all needed to complete the picture. Without any one of these elements, the puzzle would never stay together. Each plays its own part in making up the whole. Every individual has a role to play, also. At times he may not feel important. He may even feel left out or unneeded. If he takes the time to explore, though, he can find his own place, a function to perform for the group, or some happy moments. There is a feeling of togetherness among the people at Prairie that is not found in many other schools. From the newest sophomore to the most experienced staff member, everyone takes part in piecing together the puzzle.

They also sponsor and coach a wide variety of clubs, groups and teams . In addition, quite a few hours are put in preparing and planning for these classes and activities. What people don't stop to think about is the many other ways the faculty shows its support of the school and its students. This begins in the summer with teachers attending workshops and classes to sharpen their skills. They also chaperone students on various trips. August brings the sophomore lock-in and a night of very little sleep for their advisors. Home visitations are also part of these teachers' extra duties.

Evenings bring more obligations. Various sponsors organize their students to run concessions at sports events and all the teachers enjoy supporting the athletic and fine arts programs by attending these activities. Special events bring the opportuni ty for teachers to use thei r "unique" talents. They can be found riding a donkey, dribbling a basketball, roasting a pig, or speaking about their present or past careers. Many work on planning mini courses, assemblies, graduat ion and other activities. Teachers find satisfaction in their difficult, but rewarding jobs. This was especially evident on Teacher Appreciation Day when several individuals were honored for over fifteen years of service to Prairie High. They were: Darrel Bogner, Gloria Canney, Russ Werning, Chuck Worsfold, and John Osland.

The large class made the lock-in especially useful this year. During the summer, before the start of the school year, the second annual sophomore lock-in was held. The purpose of it was to get new Prairie students, and students who attended Prairie as freshmen, acquainted with the building, teachers, and students. An introduction from Mr. Steine, search for classrooms, meeting your homeroom teacher and classmates, volleyball tournament, and dance were included in the Pres. Tim Fairlie V.P.

Many of the students wore out and fell asleep by midnight; others stuck it out until morning. KCRG was also there to cover the new idea in getting familiar with a new school. More responsibility and maturity was expected of us as we entered the High School and for our class it was not easy (we like to goof around and have fun); but we all tried. We had more free time and could spend it where we wanted; there's also a lounge which was something new for all of us. Students enjoyed the more relaxed atmosphere and communication between teachers and students which seem to make the day go faster. All the students had a wide variety of activities they could get involved in and really took advantage of it. One big change sophomores had was classes they could choose and the variety of classes that they could have. It gave sophomores the chance to plan for the future in classes related to their interests which really made it more interesting for the kids. The sophomores hopefully liked the big change they had this year but the big class may have made it easier for everyone as they could help each other. 104 Sophomores ׉ 7cassandra://FN0bHwu98hg8Z8hqKdVUIiVghs1Ay3rFvPBmNs3VxfA&`Z|m|mV׉EBelow: Susan Reid attempts to hide behind her Foster Grants on 50's day during Homecoming Week.

Luis was born in Lima, Peru; but when he was one his family moved to Lamoni, Iowa. "We have moved back and forth several times because of families in both countries," Luis commented, but he lived in Peru around a total of two and a half years. Luis's dad is American and his mom is Peruvian. He has two brothers and two sisters and all the family speaks a little Spanish, but Luis speaks it better than his brothers or sisters. His mom speaks it the best. The family also speaks a little Spanish now at home. Luis started school in Peru when he was four and then moved back to Iowa during half the year where he attended Hoover grade school. When he was nine he moved to Palo Alto, California where he liked it best because of all it had to offer, but in the middle of fourth grade the family moved back to Iowa where he then attended Cleveland grade school and Roosevelt Jr. High. In the start of ninth grade Luis came to Prairie and has been here ever since. Luis enjoys playing basketball and baseball here but in Peru soccer is popular and he enjoyed playing it there. When Luis was asked what he thinks of Iowa he said that he likes it best because people here are very considerate. 110 Sophomores IT LWt i ׉ 7cassandra://YlbGsBz7c-YRfmcQOky7CbfriDdeK_UYNk2dP1mmfAo)`Zǀ|mW׉ERobyn Stacey Todd Staskal Angie Statler Janice Stepanek Terri Stockton Sveinn Storm Michelle Terpkosh Pam Tollefson Susan Truitt Lori Vogt Kathy Volesky Kyle Vondracek Kim Waggener Kathy Watts Tim Weaver Sheri Weidlein Tima Whalen Jim Wilcoxson Kathy Wilford Lisa Witte Doug Vanecek Kathy Yarbrough Charlene Zach Scott Zach Sue Zach Theresa Zalesky Tammy Zerbee Loren Ziskovsky Sophomores Not Pictured Above: At a pep assembly, Theresa Zalesky and Tom Grout, -AO of the sophomore students, set out to prove that curls are back.

The cheerleaders worked hard putting up posters and toilet paper. "Beat the Blazers" was the motto. I The Junior float took a lot of time, energy and ingenuity. But thirty juniors gave it all they had. They had dancers on their float as they played the song Disco Inferno. The juniors really went all out decorating. They even made a wooden fire with flares and sparkles. The float was built at Tina Bunnell's house and took about a week to complete. Ms. Mulherin W T and Mr. Bruns were the supervisors.

It is quite an achievement to be All-State bands are comAll three students are juniors. They are: Bennie Grimm (drums), Kathy Poduska (flute), and Kathy Uthoff (clarinet). Kathy Uthoff said she was in "utter shock" when she found out she made All State. She got third part in All State Band and her weekend there in Des Moines was lots of fun. Kathy has been playing clarinet since fourth grade, and piano s i nce second. Kathy Poduska was also glad she made All State. She got first chair, first part in the Orchestra. She had made All State once before, in her freshman year. But this time it was better. She found it more enjoyable because she had a very important part in the orchestra and lots of responsibility, which was a little scary too. Kathy has been playing the flute since fourth grade, and had a little piano in second grade. She also plays the saxophone and piccolo, and she has taken private lessons on the flute for four years. Her advice to anyone who wants to be in All State Band or Orchestra is to practice hard. Bennie Grimm said it felt great when he found out that he had made All State. He was fourth drummer out of eleven in the band. He also enjoyed the weekend in Des Moines. Bennie has been playing drums for eight years. He studied for four years at a music studio, but after the first two he started teaching there. All three agreed that one of the fringe benefits of being in All State was getting to eat at Babe's in Des Moines.

Not many Juniors can make the claim that they have a classmate who has already been state champion twice. Thanks to Barry Davis, PHS juniors can. Champion at 112 pounds as a sophomore and took the crown at 119 as a junior. It has not come easily. Barry started wrestling way back in third grade at the YMCA. His conditioning program is rigorous. He lifts weights every other day and runs every day. He conditions for approximately two hours a day year round. In addition, he wrestles for another hour or hour and a half daily. Moving up a weight has made it tougher. Since height is not one of Barry's assets, he has found himself wrestling against many taller opponents. Barry lives with his folks, Elmer and Carol Davis, in Lincolnway. He has two older brothers, both of whom wrestled, and a younger brother. He said school was all right, since a person needs to get a good education. His favorite subject is English. In his rare moments of spare time, he likes to play softball and hunt. Coach James and his teammates both draw praise from Davis. "You can't find a better coach than James," he commented. "He teaches you everything you need to know. Barry was AAA State He gets you in good condition and encourages you to do more than you thought you could." He added that he and his teammates get along well and that everyone helps each other out. When asked how Lennie's fame affected him, the champ noted that he saw the hard work both Zaleskys put into wrestling and the results. Lennie and Jim helped teach him moves and gave him lots of support. Having achieved his goal of topping the state at 119, Barry wants to win first again next year. He hopes his future plans will include wrestling for Iowa and becoming a coach.

After taking one final look at the finished puzzle, it has to be stored away and saved for another time.
