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?"

Mr. Bayne Takes His Leave 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. Robert T.

Administration Makes School Go 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.

SPECIAL MOMENTS 39
Deck the halls with . . . STREAMERS?!! Scott Hamilton gets his just desserts. The burning of the "P" is an annual event. School spirit appears everywhere. Floats are a part of the traditional parade .
PRAIRIE Unites for Homecoming Week 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? t "What's up Doc?" wonders Valerie Bowman.
Damn Grier, Chris Goetsch, and Reg Hast ings boogie on.

"Our Town" Draws Large Crowd 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.

Sophomore Girls— Few Players But Lots of Effort 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.

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.

"Orange Crushers," as the team was nick-named later in the season, captured the Linn-Mar Invitational and ECIC mat titles. Perhaps one of the biggest highlights this season was Prairie's win over top-ranked Waterloo West. It was considered by many to be one of the "best meets ever".

Pumping Iron at Prairie noidos 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. 1st row: Don Clark, Doug Ockenfels, Tony Hartin, Brian Howell, Randy Zbanek, Mark Thompson, Leo Haman. 2nd row: Tony Parsons, Charles Reid, Ed Lamparek, Jeff Hare, Scott Ollinger, Charles Summers, and John Vogt.

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!

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. 109
Best Record Ever for Boys Tennis Team Right- Lynn Schrader demonstrates good net play. Below-Jeff Johnson shows his finesse. The seven wins and seven losses this year's team had made it the best season ever for Prairie's team, according to Coach Bogner. The wins included three good meets with Iowa City West, Cedar Rapids Washington, and LinnMar. This was the first time that Prairie ever beat Iowa City West or Cedar Rapids Wahington. Coach Bogner said the highlight of the season was that two of the doubles teams, consisting of Chris White and Andy Buresh, and Jeff Johnson and Lynn Schrader, advanced to the semifinals of the district tournament. Since all lettermen are returning next year, there are high hopes for an even better season. Front Row-Kevin Vondracek, Jeff Johnson, Chris White, Andy Buresh, Coach Darrel Bogner.

The top six were (in order) Lynn Saddoris, Mary Kendall, Rita Cross, Angie Hastings, Brenda Millard, and Penny Prunty.

Busy Year for New Director 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.

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. First Annual Prairie Pig Roast a Huge Success Below: Mr.

s i 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. Old days, days of love and feeling fancy free. Old days, days of magic still so close to me. 141
