Sophomores
began their year at Prairie
with a new experience. It was the High
School lock
-in. It really helped introduce
them to the school. It was an
overnight lock-in at the school. The
lock-in lasted from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m.
They played volleyball, had class races
and dances. This was the first year it
was tried and was quite a success.
Also this year Sophomores learned to
avoid the old joke from upperclassmen
"Pardon me, but can you tell me where
the elevator is?"

James B. Bayne was superintendent
of College Community school district
for more than ten years. His resignation
went into effect at the end of
February. Robert Bostwick, Assistant
Superintendent, took over as Acting
Superintendent.
Mr. Bayne resigned to go into private
business. While he was in charge, the
major addition to the Jr. High and
the Prairie View building were built.
The entire system was concentrated
on one campus, and there was a
growth of enrollment in the system.
Also, College Community received
wide recognition as an innovative
school system.

Director, and Work Study Coordinator.

Left; Ron James, Head of Student Personnel, Head Wrestling Coach, and Boys' Letterclub sponsor.
Right: K.G. Steine, Prairie High School Principal. Robert Bostwick, Assistant superintendent.
Most people think they know pretty
much what a principal does. Most
students also know some of Mr.
James' duties, since most have gone
to see him at one time or another.
However, few people realize what the
job of the assistant principal is.
Probably the biggest job Mr. Jennings
has is that of athletic director.
This has many duties. The main ones
include developing the coaches'
handbook, making sure coaches follow
the proper procedure to check
out equipment, and arranging for
such things as scorers, timers,
judges, ticket takers, officials, color
guards, and making sure the fields
and equipment are ready. He also
keeps records, helps the coaches improve
their program if they think it is
needed, and gets an A+ for his attendance
at athletic events.
As assistant principal Mr. Jennings
frees Mr. Steine from many routine
duties so that he can provide leadership
for the school. He also does
the scheduling for athletic events,
which is his most difficult job. There
are 16 sports to schedule with 26
teams. So there is a total of approximately
354 events. This is obviously
not very easy
.
Mr. Jennings is also in charge of the
Work Study Program.ffiHe helps the
students find a job, provides counseling,
and evaluates the results. Many
students often go into a full-time job
after completing the Work Study
Program. Between 200-250 students
have been placed in full-time jobs.
Mr. Jennings says that, although his
job is very time consuming and demanding,
it is very rewarding. He enjoys
sports and being Work Study
coordinator. He enjoys seeing students
do well in the field of work,
and do so well that it helps them
continue in that job
.
r
Arranging things and scheduling are a large part of Mr. Jennings' many duties.

The week of September 19
- 23 held a
lot in store for everyone at PHS. The
festivities began with a salute to the
farmers. Overalls, flannel shirts, and
bandannas brightened the fashion
scene.
On Tuesday the fashion world
was turned inside out . . . or rather
the fashions were, as wearing clothes
inside out was the theme. Wednesday
was a school day for teachers only,
so we devoted our time to the building
of floats. Characters from film
and fiction invaded the campus on
Thursday. In the afternoon, several
guys found out how difficult it is to
be a girl as they experienced wrinkled
pantyhose and smudged lipstick in
the beauty contest. The cheerleaders
presented a history of cheerleaders.
Some of the football players got
creamed as they participated in the
pie eating contest. Friday the halls
were ablaze with Prairie spirit. This
enthusiasm was shown by the wearing
of orange and black clothing,
homecoming buttons, and mums. The
annual parade included football players,
cheerleaders, the high school
band, and numerous floats.
King and queen candidates were:
Brad Britcher and Laura Lee Banes,
Mark Calkins and Darcy Butcher,
Scott Hamilton and Becky Exline,
Randy Hulbert and Wendy Gorkow,
Tom Kemmerer and Marcia Jensen,
and Mike Parsons and Karen
Waldrep.
The highlight of the week came as
the fighting Hawks defeated the
Benton Bobcats 18-0. The celebration
ended with the Homecoming
Victory Dance.
Is George Storm here to construct or
converse?

The town gossip, Mrs. Soames (Iris Riley), be
-
low, keeps Mrs. Webb (Debbie Ashbacher) and
Mrs. Gibbs informed.
One of the largest crowds ever at a
PHS play attended the Prairie Drama
Department's production of "Our
Town". The play was held on the
nights of October 27 and 28 in the
Little Theater. People were all but
hanging from the rafters on the
twenty-seventh, with a total audience
of 290. Attendance was somewhat
less on the twenty-ninth, with an approximate
total of 150 people.
The setting of the play is a small New
England town near the turn of the
century. Members of the audience
became involved in the day-to-day
life of its townspeople. "Our Town"
especially concerns two families, the
Webbs and the Gibbs. The message
of the play can be summed up in a
quote from Emily Webb's final
speech: "Do human beings ever realize
life while they live it— every, every,
minute?"
An important and unusual feature of
the play is the fact that no hand
props are used. Instead, mime, a type
of acting, is used
. For example,
things like cooking and eating a meal
are done without a stove, dishes or
silverware. Laying flowers on a grave
is done without the flowers. "Our
Town" is noted for this feature.

A Successful Exit
for Our Director
Susan Saucer's last production at
Prairie was not your usual two act
comedy. Entitled "A Thurber Carnival",
the production was a collection of some
of the more famous sketches by the
modern American humorist James
Thurber. The sketches were linked
together with musical interludes played
by Bret Zvacek on guitar and keyboard,
Keith Elias on saxophone, and Brian
Revers on drums. Bret arranged and
adapted the music, which won an award
from the C.R. Community Theatre.
The members of the cast had no one
character to portray, but assumed many
and varied parts. The actors presented
everything from fables for our time to a
monologue on the destruction of man.
Craig Christenson, Kevin Villers, Jon
Gillette, Dan Dennis, Chris White, Pam
Riggs, Merrilee Freeburg, Janice
Ziskovsky and Debbie Ashbacher all did
an out standing job of changing characters
and costumes throughout the show.
Key parts of the show were the two revolving
platforms and the crew in
charge of them. Dennis Haren, Amy
Greenlief, Susan Marak, and Chris Bell
got their exercise as they moved furniture
on and off, and turned the platforms
for each scene.
Technical direction was provided by
Russ Price. Brenda Millard was student
director for the show.

The Music
The music department had a new face
this year.
Bill Henley was in charge of
all band activities. He also helped with
the hiking mini course and will be remembered
for getting lost.
Russ Price has been at Prairie for
eleven years. Mr.
Price started the first
76th Street Coalition. He is also technical
director for all drama productions.
Many students will remember the music
department as "those two bald guys."
The two are good-natured about it and
display bumper stickers proclaiming,
"Bald is beautiful!"

The second year of volleyball ended
in a varsity record of 3-10, a junior
varsity record of 4-9, and the freshman
record 5-8. There was a lot of
improvement throughout the season,
and more varsity games were won
than the record gives them credit
for. In games the record was 23-51.
There were many close game scores,
and the girls showed they were glad
to be out for the sport. Team captains
Audrey Pospisil and Sherrie
Burt helped bring up the respectability
of the squad. Since the team was
a fairly young one with many individual
improvements, Coach Young is
looking forward to a strong team
next year
.

During the season the girls improved rapidly, winning five games in a row. They were always ready to play. They
did well against strong Metro competition. In district they won their first game before losing to Cedar Rapids
Washington.
The Co -Captains, Sheila Lynch and Andi Noeller were a great help to the team, not only in points but in moral
support.
Sheila was named for the all Metro team. She made the all conference first team and was on the
fourth team all state.

The few girls that were out for the
sophomore team worked very hard
and made up in work what they
lacked in numbers. Their record was
three wins and fifteen losses but that
fails to show how close some of the
games were. It was a year of improving
and building. The guard court
was especially good with Nancy Cisar
and Sherry Hauschild dressing with
the varsity team most of the year.

The 1978 Sophomore boys basketball
team's record of 12 wins and 6 losses
tied them for the best record ever.
Coach Wessel had a good sized team
to work with, as 19 sophomores were
out. The sophomores placed second
in the conference, behind Linn Mar's
record of 17-1
. Ron Downs led the
team, averaging 20 points and 12
rebounds a game. The coach said one
of the highlights of the season was
beating the Regis team who had a
record of 16-2, by 25 points. He
added that his boys had a tremendous
fast break, that quickness was
one of their big assets, and that they
should be a big help to the varsity
team next year.

awards throughout the season
were won by Art Hartin: Most

Penrod: Most reversals, Jim Zalesky:
Most pins, Most near falls, Most
takedowns, and Most valuable wrestler,
Bill Christensen: Most reversals,
and Tom Kemmerer: Rick Zach
Award. Coach James was named
"Coach of the Year" at the State
Tournament, and Lyle Ludvicek
broke a school record with a :10 fall.
On the whole, "It was an excellent
season involving a lot of hard wrestling
throughout. A super team effort
was put forth by both the wrestlers
and the whole wrestling organization.
Not only has this past season meant
a lot to the wrestlers, but to the
whole school as well," commented
Coach James.

There were approximately 16 guys involved
in weightlifting this year. Most
of the weightlifters were football
players, so it was mainly a motivation
for them. However, non-football
players were also involved.
There were two achievement levels in
weightlifting. The 800 pound club
and the 1,000 pound club. In order
to achieve one of these levels, a
weightlifter had to be able to lift a
certain amount in each of the four
different kinds of weights— amounts
totaling 800 or 1,000 pounds. The
four different types of weights were
the bench press, the military press,
the squat, and the power claim.

Boys'Golf Team
Looks Forward
to Next Year
This year's boys' golf team was composed
entirely of underclassmen. It included
four juniors-Jim Booth, Scott Grabe,
Doug Hofmaster, and Todd Carlson;
one sophomore-Jim Patterson; and
six freshmen-Monty Lehmkuhl, Scott
Nissen, Scott Simon, Richard King,
Greg Hofmaster, and Jeff Moon.
The team played in many close meets,
but competition was very good, and
they didn't win any
. However, Coach
Bubon said that there was a good deal
of improvement. Also, since all the
team members were underclassmen,
they will all be back next year. They
are looking forward to a good season
next year and plan to be a lot tougher!

14 meets this year, including
Metro and Sectionals. They were a
little unlucky at the beginning of the
season, in that the first few were rained
out. But the weather improved, and
so did the team
. They won two duals
and placed second in a triangular,
much better than last season's record.
Also, they placed 6th in Metro. So it
was a successful season for the golf
team, as they managed to overcome
problems and improve their record as
well as their skills.

three good meets with Iowa City West,
Cedar Rapids Washington, and LinnMar.
This was the first time that

Coach Bogner said the highlight of the
season was that two of the doubles
teams, consisting of Chris White and

Lynn Schrader, advanced to the semifinals
of the district tournament.
Since all lettermen are returning next

Prairie Wins Viking Relays
The major victory for the varsity
track team was winning first place at
the Vinton Viking Relays. They placed
second at the Anamosa Relays, second
at the Grinnell Relays, and second
in the ECIC conference. There
weren't any meets at the fresh-soph
level, since there were many ninth
and tenth graders on the varsity
team. Coaches Leeper and Oertel
considered it a good season. Coach
Hawkins also assisted with the teams.

Young Team
Comes Through
Below: Al Bruns slugs the ball into the outfield
as Scott Ollinger starts for home.
The Varsity Baseball team had three seniors,
four juniors, and five sophomores,
which made it a fairly young team. But
in spite of this, Coach Mattiace said the
team came through in the clutch, and
improved as the season went on. They
ended the season with an excellent
record, including many shut-outs. Also,
in mid-season, Jeff Gibney pitched a nohitter
against Belle Plaine. One of the
leading hitters was Matt Schmidt.
The pitchers this year were Reggie
Hastings, JefF Gibney, Phil Schulte, and
David Juhl. The catchers were Charles
Summers and Al Bruns, and Matt
Schmitt covered first base.
Phil Schulte
was third baseman, and Jeff Gibney and
Lynn Schrader played shortstop and
second base. Scott Ollinger, Randy
Hurlbert, Kurt Tjelmeland, David Juhl,
and Reggie Hastings took care of the
outfield.

there were many other athletes who
also deserved the awards.
Scott participated in football, weightlifting
and track. He was named to the
all-state first team for football in his senior
year. Scott holds two school
records, a discus record of 143' 2VA"
and a bench press record of 310

The band was extremely busy this year. Under the
guidance of new director Bill Henley, the band
program grew to include a stage band.
Marching season began with the start of school.
Although the band was rained out three times,
the students spent a great deal of time working
on shows. The band was fortunate to have popular
songs, thanks to the skillful arranging of Mr.
Henley.
Concert band followed marching season. Originally
scheduled for three concerts, the band performed
only twice due to a snowstorm. Bret Zvacek
and Julie Dean soloed with the band for one
concert. The concert band also traveled to Daytona
Beach, Florida in May.
Jazz band was a new and welcome addition this
year. Much enthusiasm and dedication was required
to get the group put together. With two
before school rehearsals every week, the band improved
rapidly. Coffee House was the band's first
public performance. The band went to its first
festival at Coe College in January. Bret Zvacek
and Keith Elias received soloist awards. In March
the band traveled to Oelwein for the North East
Iowa district competition. The band placed second,
qualifying for state competition. Bret and
Keith again received soloist awards. On April 22,
the band went to Des Moines for state jazz band
competition. Although the band did not place in
the top three, they performed very well. Brian Revers
and Keith Elias received soloist certificates.
Bret Zvacek received a soloist trophy, one of four
given in the class.
Some band members also attended honor bands
throughout the year. Bret, Keith and Julie Dean
qualified for all state band, the highest honor
available to music students. Kathy Poduska,
Kathy Uthoff, Dave Kerber, Debbie Ashbacher,
LaDonna Townsend, Joanne Wolf and Bennie
Grimm, attended NEIBA honor band in Independence,
Iowa. Julie Dean, Kathy Poduska, Laurie
Machacek, Kathy Uthoff and Debbie Ashbacher
took part in the Tallcorn Festival at UNI where
Kathy Poduska was selected as a soloist for the
concert. Julie, Keith, Kathy P., and Donna Erenberger
participated in the Coe Honor Band. Julie,
Bret, Keith and Kathy performed in the Iowa
Honor Band in Iowa City, the final honor band for
the year.
Band members were very successful at small
group contest, bringing home 20 I's, 10 IPs and 2
Ill's. Those receiving I's on solos were: Bennie
Grimm, Julie Dean, Lynn Schrader, Kathy Poduska,
Keith Elias (alto and tenor sax), Kathy
Uthoff, Bret Zvacek and Joanne Wolf. The following
ensembles received division I ratings also:
clarinet trio, brass quartet, clarinet quartet, clarinet
choir, woodwind choir, sax duet, clarinet duet,
flute duet, flute/clarinet duet, woodwind trio and
the brass quintet.
The band ended the year with a performance in
the Eastern Iowa Band Festival parade and at
graduation exercises.

For the first time, the seniors were
honored at a final show by the Coalition.
The show, called the "Spring
Fling," consisted of songs the Coalition
has done within the last year,
many from past years, and solos sung
by LaDonna Townsend, Merrilee
Freeburg, Pam Riggs, and Jack D.
Millard.
In April, some students took part in
the State Small Group Vocal Contest
and six Division I ratings were
brought home. Three soloists,
Kirk
Statler, Janice Ziskovsky, and Michelle
Rene Ray, a like duet of Merrillee
Freeburg and Pam Riggs, girls
sextet, and madrigal all earned I's.
The choir went to the E.C.I.C. festival
at Linn-Mar in February. They rehearsed
in the afternoon with the
other schools, then, in the evening,
the mass choir sang for the public.
Mr. Price said he had great kids who
got involved in not just music, but
drama and athletics, too. The students
in Coalition had pride in what
they did, especially the light and
sound technicians.

Student council brought the seniors'
years at Prairie to a rousing finish by
organizing a pig roast for students,
faculty, staff and parents. The afternoon
started out in a mellow mood,
with people slowly drifting in, chatting
and enjoying weather that felt
like summer. The pace picked up as
volleyball, frisbee throwing and races
were organized.
The high point of the day was definitely
the meal. With entertainment
by Prairie's own Astro Bodies rock
band, the guests were treated to delicious
roast pork sandwiches, lemonade
and a vast array of other dishes
contributed by all who attended. After
supper the more sedate ones in
the crowd sat and digested, while the
more daring participated in a water
balloon fight and tug of war.

REMEMBER
.
Old days, good times I remember,
Fun days, filled with simple pleasure,
Take me back to a world gone away.
Memories seem like yesterday.
Oh, old days, good times I remember,
Gold days, days I'll always treasure,
Take me back to a world gone away.
Childhood memories seem like yesterday.
Old days, on my mind and in my heart to stay.
Old days, darkened dreams of good times gone away.
