Triumphantly, several elated members of the hardworking varsity football team display their prize. Enthusiasm ran high all through the school as Prairie students made it clear that they had . . . Spirit to Spare Weekly pep assemblies during the football season and throughout the year, planned by the cheerleaders and pom pon girls, provided us with entertainment while firing everyone up for the big games. Highlighted by amusing skits and routines such as “ Workin’ in a Coal Mine,” and “ That’s a Fact Jack!” , races and countdown cheering contests between the classes, and of course the lively pep talks from the coaches, the assemblies always ended with the playing of the “ Prairie Fight Song” to further encourage us to get out there and rally behind our Hawks! Particularly special was the assembly back at school the night after we had won state. The caravan of buses and cars, their headlights stretching for miles, finally overflowed the parking lot and thousands of happy people packed into the gym to honor the team. Victorious in the semi- finals, Prairie fans began promoting their Hawks! Cynthia Dennis went all out with T-shirt , buttons and hat for the allschool pep assembly before the final game. Totally fired up, Sandy Zach, Mary Larsh, Angie Joens and Joni Bruns get crazy at Iowa City Regina. 6 — Student Life V f f -
