Sophomore Class Largest Ever at PHS The sophomore class that came to the High School this year was the largest ever with 238 students starting the school year. 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
