Another possibility is the two sides of a

games depend on the beginning coin

calling out heads or tails can mean winning

side of Prairie. Things are covered that
aren’t the usual yearbook fare. In addition
to the normal coverage of the year,
things like sports, classes, music and
drama, and special events, the reader
will find stories and layouts on different
subjects.
Opinion polls were used for the first
time. You can read about Prairie students’
favorite things. The junior pages
offer some interesting reading on how
people view our school, being a teenager
and life in general.
Student managers,
the outdoor
lounge, what sophomores do in their
spare time, and Kirkwood KEY courses
are a few extras you will find.
Assemblies offer a change from the usual routine at PHS.

Offers a Change
What is senior P.E.? Is it different from
regular P.E.? These might be questions
some students ask themselves when
deciding whether to take this option.
“ It’s a class where the students can pick
their own activity and do it outside of
class, report on it and hand it in at the
end of the nine weeks,” commented
teacher Lin Hixenbaugh. “Some of the
different units we had this year in gym
are aerobics, weightlifting, (for girls),
team hand ball, and basketball,” said
teacher Jim Kimball.
By the time students reach high school
they already have hopes of getting their
license and driving by themselves without
their parents. But before they can do
this they have to take driver education.
This class helps the students to be safe
drivers and they learn how to save gas.
They spend 54 hours of class during
school and they drive on their free time.
During the summer the class meets for
six weeks. They have thirty hours of
classroom work and six hours of driving.
Both sessions contain films and lectures
to instruct students on the many aspects
of driving and highway safety.

usually fun, except when the weather acts up out

People to Run?
going —
How does the cross country team keep
mile after mile after mile after
MILE .. . until some of them have run so
club ? What makes anyone
milefar
that they become members of the
1000
beat their feet on the ground over and
over, until their lungs are about to burst ?
Most of the eight members of the
cross country team, as well as other run -
ners, voiced their opinions on this. Kurt
Tjelmeland and Chris Bell run to stay in
shape. Dan Dennis went out for cross
country to get ready for track and basket -
ball, and because of the inspiration of
Coach Hawkins . Scott Serovy, Clark
Humble, and Doug Roy run because they
like to.
The team didn ’t have a winning sea
son, largely because of their small size
Since there were only eight members,
they could only run in one race at each
meet . Normally, a cross country team
has four teams, which each have seven
members . That way there are varsity,
junior varsity, sophomore, and freshman
teams . But with only eight people, we
just had a varsity squad.
One reason for the small size of the
team is the popularity of football . Foot
ball is considered more glamorous than
cross country. Guys who do nothing but
sit on the bench all season would still
rather be on the football team than the
cross country team.
Members of the cross country team
-
were asked why they picked that sport
over football, and proved that there are
reasons to do so . Dan Dennis wanted to
letter, and he is more running -oriented.
Chris Bell wanted to try something differ -
ent, and Doug Roy wants to get a taste of
-
.
every sport . Scott Serovy doesn’t think
he ' s that good in football, and Clark
Humble picked cross country because he
likes to run. Besides cross country, Clark
has also run in three marathons.
After
trying both cross country and football, he
prefers cross country .
The cross country team members
aren’t the only ones who run . For exam -
ple, Barry Davis runs about five miles
every day. He usually runs across the
wrestling room, at 7 :30 a .m ., 11 :30
a.m., and after school. On the weekends
he runs outside
.Barry does this in addi
tion to his regular wrestling workouts, to
keep in shape.
Mick Mattiace also runs, to keep in
shape. He says it’s the best overall, inex -
pensive exercise you can do, with the
exception of swimming. He usually runs
alone, four or five times a week, after
school. He runs about two to four miles "a
around the campus.

Everybody has a favorite something,
so we decided to find out a few of the student
body’s favorite things. A survey was
conducted in all the homerooms, asking
each student to name his or her favorite
food, car, book, song, color, pastime,
sport, class, musical group, and T.V. program.
In
the food category pizza won in a
landslide. Distant seconds were steak,
shrimp, and tacos.
In the car race
Camero nosed out Trans-Am which was
followed by Corvette and Mustang. “ The
Outsiders’’ won the prize for favorite
book with “The Promise’’ and “Wifey’’
tying for second.
In the song category
“Please Don’t Go” sang out over “ Still”
and “Babe.” The favorite color was blue,
getting almost all the votes.
The winners in other categories were
as follows. In pastime it was watching
T.V. which even beat out partying. Football
outdistanced basketball to capture
the title. Believe it or not the class with
the most students voting for it was math.
It just edged out gym, which hung on
until the end in its bid for most popular.
The only musical group to get past the
critics was “ Styx” and “ The Doobies”
sang second to them.
“ Saturday Night
Live” dominated the ratings for favorite
T.V. show.
Above: Camero was the winner in the race for favorite
car. Above Right: Mike Glick and Kent Rigdon

favorite pastime.

votes, with ‘‘The Outsiders” getting the least few.

Place
Many of you may have known Mr.
s taken on the job of administrative
Leeper as a P.E. teacher, but this year
he'
assistant.
Mr. Leeper misses certain aspects of
teaching. The student contact and competitive
games that he taught in P.E.
were enjoyable and challenging, but he
likes planning his own work schedule.
He likes his new position very much.
He feels that Prairie students are enjoyable
and challenging.
Most of the students
accept discipline when they have it
coming and he respects them for it. He
enjoys trying to help students with their
problems. Often in helping the students
it's difficult because there is no immediate
answer. Patience in dealing with the
problems isn’t always easy.
Mr. Leeper was also a football coach,
girls’ gymnastics coach, Junior High
basketball coach, and is still the track
coach.
He feels that coaching is a great
opportunity to get close to Prairie stu
-
dents. By working with them it is possible
to see results.
It’s very rewarding to him
to see the athletes excel in their areas of
interest.
One of Mr. Leeper’s favorite hobbies is
hunting. He hunts grouse, pheasants,
quail, and ducks.
Training dogs is
another hobbie. He owns a yellow labrador
and two English Setters. He’s also
involved in trap shooting. The shoots
usually offer prizes or money.
His best
day was when he won $800.
Mr. Leeper has noticed good progress
in the growth of girls ’ athletics, changes
in dress codes, changes in school policy
and procedures, equal rights, and expansion
of curriculum for students’ needs.
He attended Washington High School
in Washington, Iowa. He went to Wartburg
College and received a BA, also
Oklahoma College where he received an
MA. Mr.
place, its students and its teachers. I
think they are very unique and very special.
They care about kids, really care!”
Above: Ken Steine finishing his 6th year as principal.

Associate Principal, Athletic Director ar
Coordinator of work study is Mr. Bob Jennings.
Leeper' s comment was, “ I’ve
been teaching fifteen years now, and all
of those have been at Prairie.
I love the

There have been many changes in the
school newspaper and yearbook. Both
have a new look. The newspaper has a
new size of print. The new format makes
it look more streamlined and professional.
The yearbook is arranged in chronological
order instead of by categories.
Having a new publisher will also change
:ne looks of the 1980 yearbook.
To sell yearbooks, the staff had a pubcity
campaign.
All the members wore
special t-shirts. There was also a record
give-away. The cafeteria was “picketed”
to make sure everyone bought their yearbook.
The
yearbook staff meets every Wednesday
after school with co-sponsors
Jean McMenimen and Roxene Schreiber.
Since everything can’t be done at meet
-
ings, most staff members work on the
yearbook in their spare time.
The school newspaper, Hawk Talk,
is
distributed to every homeroom ten to
twelve a year. To get ideas for stories,
they brainstorm. Everyone thinks of
several ideas. The best ideas become the
topics of stories. There was a special edition
of the newspaper called the Chicken
Hawk.
It contained parodies written by
composition classes. The students liked
it but the adults didn’t.
Sponsor Nancy Talbot said, “In spite
reruns, deadlines, broof
problems —
ken arms — we had a lot of fun. We
learned a lot in producing the Hawk
Talk."

named to the All -State Second Team to
The 79 Varsity football team finished
the year with a 5 -4 winning season.
Coach John Oertel said that he was
proud of the team because they were a
close team, willing to work off -season,
and could make an excellent comeback
after losing . “ The guys always played a
hard game,”
was the comment from
other coaches. The Regina and Linn Mar
coaches particularly mentioned Prairie’s
hard hitting. This, of course, was a result
of their daily two -hour practices and pre -
season preparations . All efforts paid off
with awards, recognition, and scholar
ships.
Bob Berstler and Doug Ockenfels were
their outstanding play throughout the
season .Prairie also had several players

The traditional male dominance of Indus

Each semester, more girls decide to take
shop classes as part of their elective
credit. Previously, many girls were afraid
to take these classes because they would
be looked down upon and considered
unfeminine . These attitudes have been
slowly changing, and now many of the
girls who take shop courses regularly
wear dresses and are considered to be
some of the most feminine girls in
school.
Shop teachers encourage girls to take
their classes and are understandably
pleased about the large enrollment this
year.
They are hoping that even more
girls will enroll next year.
The girls who are taking shop classes
this year enjoy them very much. They
sometimes feel they are given advan -
tages because they are girls,
but they
also feel they have to work extra hard at
the beginning of the class to prove that
they can do the work, even though they
are girls . They feel if more girls would
take shop classes, these slight problems
could become a thing of the past.

Novelty Flourishes in Plays
All year long the Prairie drama department tried new and exciting things. They
began in the fall by staging a production composed of four original one-act plays. It
was held on October 27 and 28, in the Little Theatre. The plays, which have not been
published, were written by Howard Blanning. Howard is a member of the University
of Iowa Writers Workshop, and has a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University
of Iowa.
The four plays ranged in theme from the creation of man to the destruction of man.
"Man the Maker” dealt with man’s creation, "Placia” was about the bureaucracy of
society, and "Ratzo at the Helm” portrayed the downfall of man and society. The
comic relief of the night was "First Night”,an amusing little Arabian Story.
"Winnie the Pooh” was the children’s play. It wasn’t an original script, but it did
have something unusual about it. It had a double cast. Since the show toured to different
elementary schools during the day, an alternate cast was needed so that not
everybody would have to go on every tour. That way none of the actors missed too
much school. The show was performed on December 15 in the Little Theatre, and it
toured for three days during the week after that.
"Arsenic and Old Lace” was the final drama production of the year. It was held on
May 9 and 10, in the Little Theatre. "Arsenic and Old Lace” is a very well-known comedy,
which was written in the early 1940’s. Besides the brilliant performances of the
actors, the highlight of Prairie’s production of the show was the set. The play requires
a rather elaborate set, since it must include steps leading to an upper floor, several
doors, a window, and a window seat. Only a few people did most of the work on the
set, but they labored long and hard. They worked almost every free moment they had,
especially the last two weeks before production. The end result was extremely realistic,and
well-built. It was definitely the best set out of all the three dramatic plays.
Above Left: Winnie the Pooh (Lisa Campbell) ponders

trys to get Dr. Einstein (Brice Highley) to believe
that he (Teddy) is Theodore Roosevelt, while the

scene from "Arsenic", attempts to tell Mortimer

about the plot of the play she’s writing. Mortimer
can’t listen, however, because he’s sort of "tied
up” at that moment.

Even though a varsity record of 3 wins
and 17 losses may not be evident of a
successful season, the girls’ varsity team
experienced a learning year, according
to some players on the team.
Coach Mike McCue stated,
“I had a
very good group of girls, showing team
effort and doing everything that was
asked of them.” He also said, ‘‘From the
beginning ’till the end we accomplished a
lot with each individual’s abilities growing.
As a team, we progressed to be competitive
and respected.”
It’s important for the team to be
together and this year it was. The team
went to the Iowa Cornets game, Coe and
Mount Mercy games, state basketball
tournament, and had parties which
involved the parents.
When Coach McCue was asked what
he himself had learned he said, “ I
learned something everyday, from the
people to the game situation.”
The sophomore team had a record of
6- 11, and was coached by Tom Hoffmann.
Coach Hoffmann said the team
improved daily, continually improving on
fundamentals. They wanted to get better
and they did, and he feels this is the key
to success.
When asked what the team was like to
work with, Coach Hoffmann said they
were very enjoyable and had a lot of
potential. Hoffmann feels the team
needs to work hard on the off season and
if they don’t they’ll short change themselves,
because they have a lot of talent.

subjects they may later use in their
careers.
This was also the first year that a
career exploration day was held at Kirkwood.
Prairie, Linn Mar, and Marion high
school students participated. Students
pre-registered in two areas they were
interested in. Buses transported students
as they spent either the entire
morning or afternoon gathering career
information.

for the girls. Carwashes, candle and
flower sales all helped make up the cost.
The cheerleaders were divided into
seven squads. They were required to
cheer at one volleyball meet and at one
game of each of the winter sports. Practices
were three times a week with a lot of
hard work in between. We even had some
guys cheering for the girls' powder puff
football game.
Teresa Douglas and Phil Britcher were
the cheerleaders' sponsors. Clar Krumrei
was the pompon sponsor.
The sixteen pom pon girls had a car

Weightlifting is a sport that started
here at Prairie in 1968. Mr. Hawkins
started it by lifting weights himself, interest
started to grow, and so did the club.
The weight room was in six different
places before the new one was established.
Mr.
Hawkins, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Oertel
make up our weightlifting coaching
staff.
All of the coaches agree that
weightlifting contributes in physical conditioning
for other sports; members of
the club agree that this is true also.
Weightlifting is for everybody. You can
do it in your spare time or be a part of the
group. The weightlifters chart among
themselves, and everyone is striving to
be number one.
Yet the competition is
mainly against oneself, you try to beat
your own previous records.

stands at this time is as follows: Bench

New Teacher and Computer
Highlights of Math Department
Due to the increasing enrollment in
math classes, another teacher has joined
the high school staff. Her name is Barb
Rust and her room is the former Social
Studies Resource Center. She teaches
Algebra and Computer Science.
The Computer Science course was
offered only second semester this year,
but will be offered both semesters next
year. The minimum requirement will be a
strong algebra background.
This is the first year there has been a
computer terminal at Prairie and there is
so much demand for the use of it that
there has to be a sign up sheet. The terminal
is hooked up to the Grant Wood
Area Educational Agency Computer.
In the Computer Science class the students
learn computer language commands
in BASIC,
the easiest computer
language. They write programs on many
different subjects, including math.

Teams
Behind every sport at Prairie is a person
who gives the team his or her all.
This person is, of course, the manager.
The manager of a team has many
responsibilities which help keep the team
going.
Managers attend practices with
the players and make sure that all equipment
is ready for use. After practice they
make sure the equipment used is put
away and keep up the supply of towels
for after showers.
A manager at a game is more like a
peer coach. When a player is on the
bench, encouragement is given and the
manager psychs the team up just as
much as a coach does. They join in on
the team gatherings around the coach to
make sure everyone has enough water to
quench their thirsts.
When the game is over and the team is
in the locker room, the manager is busy
collecting towels, equipment, and cleaning
out the locker room.
This year two of our managers stood
out more than others. They were Becky
Mitchell and Craig Joens. Becky was the
manager of the varsity football team and
Craig for the sophomore girls’ basketball
team. Becky hopes to return next year as
manager of the football team. She said
that the guys on the team treated her
better than they had other managers.
Becky thought over the offer that Mr.
Oertel made to her to be the manager
and was happy that she accepted and
was in turn accepted by the team.
Mr. Hoffman asked Craig Joens to be
the manager for his team. Craig was surprised
when asked to take the job. Craig
finally decided to manage the team
because he thought it would be fun. He
said that the girls didn’t give him a hard
time and that he got along very well with
all of them.
Above Left: Wrestling manager Robert Christen

equipment after a game, Scott Appleget, boys’ varsity

we got some interesting answers. We
asked them “How do you feel about
going to Prairie? Have those feelings
changed since you were a sophomore?
Explain how.”
Some juniors said they like it this year
better because last year they felt like the
seniors and juniors thought they were
better than the sophomores.
A few of
these juniors are Lori Vogt, ‘‘I like it
sometimes, I like the feeling of knowing
just about everyone. Yes, I felt inferior as
a sophomore, like all the seniors and juniors
are out to get us.” Devin Pipkin;
“ When I was a sophomore it was just
another school, now I am proud to be
here. It has a lot to offer,
if you care to
take the time to look.” Scott Simon; “ It’s

Teen: Good/Bad
The second question in our polling of
the juniors was: “ What’s good and
what’ s bad about being a teenager
today? The class had varied and interesting
answers. Almost everyone could
think of something bad, but there were
some students who could not come up
with anything good.
The area of responsibility, or lack of it,
was mentioned often on both sides of the
question.
they feel restricted as to what they can
do and when.
impose too many rules and don’t allow
their kids to make their own decisions. A
few mentioned they want to be considered
as adults.
Many teens mentioned that
Some felt their parents
Other juniors felt good
about the amount of say they have in
making decisions. Many mentioned that
they do have freedom of choice about
their actions.
Angie Hastings said she
didn’t have a whole lot of responsibility,
but enough.
Many of the students mentioned the
amount of mobility teens have today.
Driving their own cars and being able to
go different places came in as good
points. Lisa Netolicky likes the opportunity
to do new things. Steve Smith noted
that teens have a chance to do good in
school and elsewhere.
A number of those people returning
questionnaires mentioned relationships
with their peers. Many said they feel peer
pressure to do things bad for themselves,
like smoke, drink, or take drugs.
Michelle Terpkosh felt there is way too
much competition in sports and elsewhere.
On the good side, being with
friends and having close relationships
were mentioned.
The juniors pointed out other disadvantages.
Some of them were: inflation
and the price of gas, worrying about the
future and the draft, being cut down by
adults and many pressures. But, they
mentioned many more good things, too.
Some felt teens get about everything
they want, and have a lot of fun.
Suzie
Gallager summed things up well: “ Today
I feel we have too many pressures.
It
seems everywhere you look you find
problems. But I think this brings people
closer together. Friends try to work
things out with each other.”

Other juniors gave their thoughts on

do think the 80’s will be different, they're

I
hope we figure out how to stop inflation
and straighten out the government.”
Pam Ritchie commented, “ I think as the
years go on things will appear to change
to be more modern.
I think we’ll also
have to try new things for energy and
start depending on them.” Stephanie
Hohensee foresees the 80’s as more
action packed and fast paced.
Julie de
Neui thinks that things will become
stricter. Bobbi Gilbert thinks the 80’s will
be different because her generation will
be adults and look at life differently. Michelle
Terpkosh said, ” 1 sure hope so. The
70’s were fairly good, but I hope the 80's
will be much better and I’ll be able to do
more things and hopefully have some
better times.” Suzie Gallager was very
hopeful, “I think we’ll see great finds in
science with power and automobiles and
cures for diseases. Anyway I hope so.”
We’ll see what the future brings.

Making One
Wish
The fourth and final question that was
asked was, “ If you had one wish what
would it be?”
Lisa Netolicky’s wish was to marry a
really super guy. Brenda Boland had a
similar wish. She wants to get a really
good job after college and get married.
Both Troy Schulz and Lori Vogt had the
same wish. They want a billion dollars.
Mike Malik's wish was to spend a couple
of years just traveling without having to
worry about the expenses. Laurie Rummells
had the wish of being an actress.
Dennis Bruns would like to play college
basketball. Joe Nekvinda answered, “ To
do as many things as I can with the rest
of my life.” Angie Hastings would like to
stay sixteen always.
A few juniors had the wish that our
country not go to war. Some of them
were Dawn Messer, Scott Simon and
Steve Smith. Some people couldn’t think
of just one wish and put down things that
they would have to choose between. Stephanie
Hohensee would want to stop
crime and have world peace. To be a millionaire,
get married and live happily
ever after living in a world of peace was
Theresa Zalesky’s wish.
Michelle Terpkosh
had a great idea and wished for
many more wishes.
The most popular wish was put in
many ways but the same idea came
across. Gayle Loomis wished that we
wouldn’t have such large conflicts with
other countries, and that people could
get along with each other instead of trying
to find each other's faults. Kathy
Yarbrough backed up her wish with
things that could happen if her wish were
to come true. She said, “I guess my wish
would be for peace on earth.

peace we could have an open exchange
of food, natural resources and technology.
If we shared things the whole world
would be better off. We would all advance
and share our learning. By using the
brain power of all countries we should be
able to solve almost all of our problems.”

Counselors
Both counselors, Alan Maas and
Bonnie Malone, keep very busy,
each helping students in every way
they can and serving on commit
tees for various programs which
help kids.
Mr. Maas is the coordinator on
the steering committee at Kirkwood
which lets students take some of
Kirkwood’s classes. Ms. Malone is
on the Native Talent Committee
which put together the All Metro
Career Days.
The counselors spend a lot of
time working with career planning
and provide information on jobs,
colleges that meet the students
-
needs, and vocational schools. Mr.
Mass said they, the counselors,
need to be informed to answer
questions, and help kids relate to
each other better.
Our counselors coordinate spe -
cial education programs and work
to get students into special pro -
grams, contact parents, students,
and teachers to meet with them
about getting into these programs.
School Nurse
Therese Johnson has been work -
ing 8 years as our school nurse and
says she really likes her job. She
said it’s a fine place to work and
likes work here at the high school
with the older kids.
Therese likes to promote wel
ness rather than treat illness . She
tries to take away the fears people
have about their health, so the
don’t make a little ache more tha'
it really is.
When it comes to counseling with
drugs, alcohol, etc. the counselors
handle most of that. Said Therese
‘‘I handle most of the referrals
which will best help the person ana
make him feel most comfortable.”
As to Wellness Day which was
held April 16th Therese helped plar
ideas and arrange some speakers.
She feels it ’s very important to
think well and that’s what she likes
to help people do.

the opportunity to see the decades
change. The 1970' s are behind us now,
and the 1980' s lay ahead.
The last decade saw many changes.
Fashion went through its usual rapid
swings. Hemlines moved up and down,
hair was long and straight,
then short
and curly, guys ' heels were tall then
short, while girls’ just got higher.
Music changed from soft rock to hard,
to punk, to disco, to country, and then to
the point where you could listen to whatever
turned you on.
Maybe that’s what the 70’s were all
exchanging the conformity of
the 50’s and the rebellion of the 60’s for
an emphasis on the individual.

So we are left with a new decade ahead
It is interesting to speculate on
what it might bring.
Will it bring world peace, as so many of
the sophomores hoped? Will solutions be
found to the world’s problems? Maybe a
cure for cancer, zero population growth,
clean air and water, and a non-polluting
energy source are some of the things we
can look forward to in the years to come.
Our own school made great strides in
the past decade. Will that continue? Can
we hope for continued success in our
academic efforts,
as well as our extra
activities? The potential is there. It is up
to each one of us to do our part in making
it happen.

What is there that could possibly influence
girls to come back to school day
after day and spend hours working in the
hot sun, even after classes have ended?
It’s called Prairie Girls’ softball. Many
girls, even seniors who have graduated,
find great enjoyment in continuing their
sports careers over the summer. It is a
good chance to stay in shape and keep in
touch with classmates and friends.
The 1979 Softball team had a respectable
14-15 record. Tina Pulver and
Nancy Cisar were both named to the first
team of All-Metro and ECIC conference.
The girls were coached by the departing
Tom McAreavy,
assisted by Phyl
Britcher.
The 1980 team has sixteen returning
players and four new people. The new
coach is junior high teacher Dave Bennett.
Phyl will continue to assist. Coach
Bennett was excited by all the talent he
saw as practices started. He said that if
all the girls would dedicate themselves to
some hard work and concentration they
should have a very good season.

. . . Sports, musical activities,
plays, dances, and parties were
favorites. Homecoming is always
special to seniors. The King and
Queen are chosen from the senior
class. The class of 1980 won
the float contest and the powder
puff football game for the second
year in a row this fall. Minicourses
and snow days were
popular with seniors.
They
enjoyed the freedom they had in
choosing classes.

games to raise enough money. Hov
dance was held on April 19, in the PHS
gymnasium. This is the event where the
girls have to ask the guys, instead of the
other way around.
11:00 p.m., and the music was provided
by a disc jockey from KCRG.
The Sadie Hawkins dance was sponsored
by the Student Council. It was a
very informal dance and jeans were the
most common attire. The gymnasium
was decorated with hay to fit the rustic
theme, and the bleachers were also decorated
with colorful streamers. The Student
Council raised money for the dance
by raising the prices of the tickets to
$1.75 for singles, and $3.50 for couples.
Even so, they didn’t make any profit off
of holding the dance, but it was a lot of
fun to attend.
The other big dance that was held at
the end of the year was, of course, the
Junior-Senior Prom. This is a very formal
event. Most people wear long dresses or
tuxedos. The girls usually wear the long
dresses, and the guys usually wear the
tuxedos.
The prom was sponsored by the entire
junior class. They worked long, hard
-
ever, the main people in charge of the
prom were the junior class officers, Jir
Shebetka, Jim Rotter, Lisa Joens, art:
Lisa Jensen. Mr. Werning and Mr. MyerE
served as advisors to them.
The prom was held on May 2, fro

9:00-1:00 p.m., at Stouffer’s ballroom '
Cedar Rapids. The theme was “ PrecioL:

rock music.

On February 29th, through a joint
ffort of all the P.H.S. English teachers, a
purney was made to Hancher auditonum
in Iowa City, so English students
could view a Tyrone Guthrie production
of “ The Glass Menagerie.” The Guthrie
Theatre is a group of professional actors
based in Minneapolis.
Nancy Spector ’s World Literature
classes also saw “Vanities,” the Cedar
Rapids Community Theatre production
of a play that shows what happens to
three 1962 cheerleaders and “ A MidSummer
Nights Dream,”
one of Shakespeare’s
classics. After reading the book
“Heart of Darkness,” they went to see
the movie “ Apocalypse Now” and they
found it was an interesting comparison.
Some field trips took place right at
school. Terry Dyrland had make-up and
mime demonstrations for his drama
classes. Nancy Spector had Mr.
Henley
speak about Jazz in the fifties for her
Selected Authors class.
The class was
reading a book about beatniks, called On
the Road, by Jack Kerouac, and how the
pace of Jazz fit into the lifestyle of the
beatniks.
Not all of the field trips had to do with
the performing arts. Nancy Talbot took
kids from her newspaper, journalism,
everyday communications, and mass
media classes to Iowa City to hear Senator
Kennedy speak. Cathy Jones’ Senior
Seminar classes took a field trip to the
Coe College library to check out the references
available there.
Field trips offer an alternative method
of learning, by allowing students to actually
see things for themselves.

At the beginning of the year, Prairie
High School welcomed a new English
teacher, Nancy Talbot. She teaches
newspaper, journalism, everyday communications,
and mass media classes.
Before she came here, she taught at
Exira High School in southern Iowa. She
said kids have a lot more freedom here,
what with the modular schedule, and all
their free mods. The kids at Prairie don' t
know how good they have it. They have a
very caring faculty and principal.
Another teacher, Mrs. Jones, also
came to Prairie, but she was returning
after a year’s leave-of-absence. Her leave
of absence was taken to get her Master’s
Degree in developmental reading at the
University of Iowa, and to have a child.
Besides this, she worked as a teaching
assistant at the University of Iowa, serving
as a supervisor for student teachers
placed in the Iowa City secondary
schools.

one English class, because class loads
were getting too heavy, and to cut down
on the number of early graduations.
Because of both of these changes, teachers
now have more time to spend on their
classes, and more time for departmental

Students taking Business Education
courses are learning valuable skills, both
for personal use and as a springboard to

to choose from in the area of business.
Mr. Werning, one of the instructors, said
that he and Mr. McCue received many
calls from employers seeking good students
to hire in their businesses; in fact,
the demand for qualified people exceeds
the available supply. Practical experience
was stressed this year. Typing and shorthand
students help prepare the minicourse

There was a change in the curriculum
this year, said instructor Bob Hawkins.
The new class is called Mixed Media, a
combination of jewelry, craft, and sculpture.
The
media used are clay, metal,
fabric, and wood. One of the reasons for
the change was the increase in the price

very
far. We got to know two foreign exchange
students. Pedro Odio is a student from
Costa Rica, and was a guest of Julie de
Neui and her family during the winter
.
Anni Pederson, a high school graduate
from Denmark, came to Iowa to learn to
speak better English.
German and Spanish were brought
closer together, as once again the German
room was in the library area next to
the Spanish room. A new textbook program
was started in Spanish, and once

everyone had gotten used to the switch
most agreed that the new book was
much better than the twelve year old one.
Spanish I and II benefited this year. The
advanced book will be used next year. As
always, many students in both Spanish
and German are busy planning for trips
to Mexico and Germany in 1981.
A highlight of the year in band was the
trip to Arlington in April. It was a five day
trip by chartered bus, which featured a
stay at Six Flags Over Texas. Such fund
raisers as selling candy, chocolate, candles
and concession stands helped the
students earn the necessary money for
the trip.
The choir members were still hearing
Hawaiian music as they started off the r
year of music study. The trip to Hawaii in
June of 1979 was a success and will be
long remembered by all who got to gc
along. A highlight for those students ta

Prairie’s outdoor lounge is a unique
part of the high school. It is a
place where students can relax, talk
to friends, get a suntan or just a
place where they can smoke.
The outdoor lounge was formed
when a group of students got
together and made the suggestion.
This was eight years ago and the
lounge is still going strong.
Mr. Steine feels that the lounge is
beneficial because it keeps the
bathrooms clean,
eliminates restroom
monitors, and provides students
that have a smoking problem
with a place to light up. They aren't
made to feel like criminals or
rejects.
Only about onefifth
of the student
body uses the lounge to
smoke. Prairie is the only school in
the Metro area that has a designated
area for smoking. Every
school has a place where people
can smoke privately, even if it isn’t
an openly announced spot. We
bring the issue out in the open and
recognize the need.
The outdoor lounge is dedicated
to Lauren J. Slycord. It is a worthy
addition to Prairie High School and
deserves compliments rather than
the criticism it has been receiving.
We recognize the smoking habit
and although we don’t promote it,
we provide the facilities for those
that have the need.

The 1980 season was the best ever in
the history of Prairie girls’ track. The
girls worked very hard to top themselves
from last year and proved they could do
it by hitting new highs in several events.
It started at the State Indoor where
Prairie finished seventh, with Nancy
Cisar being state champion for the second
time in the 440 yard dash and getting
second in the 300 yard dash. This
was followed by several relays in which
Prairie placed fairly high up each time.
During the course of the season,
several new school records were established.
Nancy Cisar now holds the record
in the 400 meter dash, the 400 meter
hurdles, and the 100 meter dash. Freshman
Angie Joens has the mark in the
shot put. Two relay records were broken,
by Sonya Schulz, Susann Lebsock,
Sherry Houschild,and Nancy Cisar in the
440; and Ann Oldorf, Susann Lebsock,
Dawn Roy,and Sonja Schulz in the 880.
The highlight of the season was the
state track meet, at which Prairie placed
ninth. The 440 relay team came in fifth,
and Nancy Cisar got second in the 400
meter hurdles, and a first in the 400
meter run
. Her time in the latter event
was the best of any runner in the state, in
any class.
Coach Roger Stigers was assisted by
Tom Hoffmann and Emma Jo Fairlie,
with help from student assistant Debbie
Blaha. Team managers were John
“ Bubba” Randles and Carrie Barker
Roger said, “It was the most successful
season Prairie Girls’ Track has ever
had.” It was a great way for Coach Stigers
to end his career at Prairie.

The track team this year was something
Prairie could be proud of. They won
several meets and placed high in most of
the others.
There were two major relays that Prairie
won —
the Grinnell and the Vinton.
Leading the pack was senior Ron Downs.
He broke some of the old school records
and, with the aid of his teammates,
earned several honors for the school.
The highlight of the year, though, was
the Drake Relays in Des Moines. Prairie
placed fourth. Ron Downs placed fifth in
the hundred meter run. The relay team
of Brad Wicher, DeWayne Heintz, Tim
Fairley,and Ron Downs also did well. The
Drake Relays are a very prestigious event
and Coach Leeper was very pleased that
some Prairie students went. "It’s an
honor,” he said. "You have to qualify
and meet all the requirements. It’s quite
special. The relays are one of the best in
the U.S. and we’re proud to be in them.”
"The boys’ track team had a very good
year,” said Mr. Leeper. "Not super, but
pretty good. Better than last year.”

The Science Department members,
John Osland —

biology, William Rieniets
— chemistry and physics, and Tom Hofflife
science, provided many
exciting experiences for their classes this
year.
Science, Society, and the Future was a
new course offered this year. Students
learn what future societies could be like
and what new developments are happening
to better our future. It offers students
a chance to explore these areas of science
that affect our society.
In other courses, like biology, the students
once again picked over the frogs
and got writer ' s cramp from taking
notes. John Osland kept students busy
and watched the girls squeam over the
dissection of frogs. Biology offers a wide
variety of areas to be studied during the
year. Some are the human body,
dissection for internal organ studies, and
genetics.
Life Science took on a new look t\
year. Tom Hoffmann took over the teac
ing position when Carol Uphoff we
back to school. The Life Science cour
offers students an alternative to takii
Biology. The main emphasis is on teac
ing students about living processes ai
how they affect our environment.
Chemistry and Physics with Bill Rie
iets allowed the students to really expe
ment. Both classes let the students <
experiments to prove theories and sh(
physical laws of science.
Members of the Physics class, aloi
with students from Electricity and Cc
sumer Economics, took a trip to Chicai
again this year. The trip allowed studer
to tour the Museum of Science ar
Industry, the Field Museum, Planet;
ium, and aquarium.
Students we
cells,
allowed to explore areas of their interes
and were exposed to new areas of s
ence.
A high point for Physics students this year was the
annual trip to Chicago. Above: Roberta Grommon

spring, took a trip to Six Flags over
Texas,
for one of the toughest concert
band contests in the United States.
Another area in band is Jazz Band.
The Jazz Band has been involved in the
Augustana Jazz Festival, Coe Jazz Festival

Scott Simon were all outstanding soloists
at each of these. At the N.E.I.B.A. Jazz

Jazz playoffs, soloists’ awards went to
Scott Simon and Kathy Poduska.
The

Different themes for the script are suggested

Next, a committee of students start writing
the script. The script is sort of written
around the songs that are chosen, but
the writers also came up with a good plot
this year. The writers don’t have to be
choir members, but can be anyone interested
in the project. Susan Marak, Debbie

is a sort of jazzed-up choir concert.
It
isn’t until only two weeks before
the show that rehearsals and set work
start. A lot of work is done in that short
time, since the other plays at Prairie have
four to eight weeks for rehearsals and set
construction. Because there is only a
short time to put the show together, the
whole choir has to pitch in and help build
set, round up props, and make sure
they're on stage at the right time.
The musical, the well -known “Fiddler

gymnasium, on March 14 and 15. Musical

choir members. Anyone can try out, but
it helps if the person is able to sing. Tryouts
are in mid-January, and rehearsals

eight weeks of rehearsals before the
show, so there’s more time to get things
ready, and the show is better performed
than Coffeehouse.

Third Crown
Barry Davis became Prairie’s first
three-time state wrestling champion as
Prairie picked up its second runner-up
title in three years. Prairie had been
favored to repeat as titlists, but all in all,
it was a very successful tournament for
first year coach Jim Kimball.
The tournament was set up differently
than it had been in previous years. This
year’s tournament included “ wrestlebacks.”
When a wrestler goes to the
finals, the wrestlers he beats wrestle
each other and the guys the other finalist
beats.
In this way, a wrestler who was
beaten in the first round can wrestle all
the way up to third place. If the tournament
had been set up in the old way,
Prairie probably would have won.

Thespians —
Not Thesbians
What is this strange organization that
exists in Prairie High School? When Mr.
Jennings used to read the morning
announcements, sometimes I’ d hear
something about a Thesbian meeting.
What kind ofa group is that?
First of all, the name of the group is
Thespians, and is constantly mispronounced
by people who don’t know its
meaning.
Thespis was a man who lived
So, as

considered to be the first actor.
you may guess, Thespians is the name of
an international honorary drama organization.
It’s likea drama version of girls or
boys letter club.
In order to become a
member, a person has to earn 10 points.
Each point represents 10 hours of work
in at least two areas of the theatre.
Work
in at least two of the areas of costumes,
props,
set, acting, makeup, lights,
sound, or orchestra is needed for earning
Thespian membership.
At least five
points must be earned at the school
where the person is to be inducted, but
points can also be earned by working in
the junior high and the Community Theatre.
Once
a person becomes a Thespian,
they can continue to earn more than the
required 10 points. Each extra 10 points
beyond that earns a gold star, and those
who earn 60 points receive an honor bar.
The Thespian troupe is basically just
an honorary organization, and doesn 't
have many activities.
were a few fundraisers
held. Members
of the Thespian troupe and the Drama
Club sold stationery, magazines, and ran
concession stands at different sports
events.
This money was raised to pay for
Thespian supplies, and to help pay for
Thespian trips and a backdrop for the
stage. There weren 't any trips taken, but
in past years the Thespians have gone to
the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis, so
it’s possible there will be such a trip next
year. Besides raising money, some of the
Thespian members acted as hosts for

was sponsored by the Cedar Rapids

The big event of the Thespian year was
the induction of its new members, which
occurred near the end of the year. Before
the induction,
the new members were
informed of their honor very early in the
morning,
in the comfort of their own
beds. The old Thespians went to the
homes of each of the new members,
woke them up, and brought them back to
school for a pancake breakfast. The pancakes
were cooked in the home ec room

Ron James, Prairie’s very successful
coach, moved on to Oregon, leaving Jim
Kimball in his place. Jim had been assistant
coach, and became head coach for
the 1979-1980 season.
Coach Kimball commented that the
difference between being assistant
coach and head coach was that now the
responsibility rests with him. He feels his
team did the best they possibly could and
that he couldn’t have asked for anything
more from them. Jim feels he must keep
an open mind, and that every year he
coaches will help him to do a better job.
When asked what he was proud of this
year, the coach mentioned an undefeated
dual meet record of 11-0, winning
district, and finishing second in the
state. He felt the team improved all season
long.
