Opinions differ in regard to this, but in a great majority of cases the testimony of those in a position to know is that athletics, properly conducted, not only do not hinder the mental work of the students but actually help it. People not acquainted with school conditions are sometimes apt to think that because we have a football team over which the students become enthusiastic for a few weeks in the fall, or abasket ball team which plays a half dozen games during the winter, the minds of the entire body of students from September to June are absorbed in ath- letics and nothing else. That such is not the case can be proved in our own school at the present time. In selecting the debaters for the joint debate with New Richmond the choice of students and teachers fell upon three young

2 TRUE BLUE men who are prominent in school athletics, but who also have a high rank in scholarship. Of the members of the Athena debate team, which is to debate Alpha-Delta, two were members of the football eleven and the third prominent in the base ball team. Of the eight young ladies who take most active partin basketball, five are entered in the declamatory contests to take place next month. The rules of the Inter-Scholastic association do not permit any student whose standings are not up to the passing mark required in his school to take part in any athletic contest. These rules are adhered to in the St. Croix Valley League, and an inspection of the records of our athletic contestants will show that their standings have been kept up to and in most cases much beyond the required marking. We do not consider our school perfect, by any means. The criti- cism has been made, that we students have too many diversions from our school work—such as dances and other social functions. However true this may be, we are sure that the athletics in our school are not a diversion, but as we have already stated, rather tend to promote bet- ter work on the part of those interested in them. OUR SCHOOL BOARD. Our school board of the city of Hudson is at present composed of six members, all of whom are mnch interested in the schools and anxious for their welfare. A True Blue reporter recently interviewed these gentleman and secured the following brief biography of each: DR. WINGENDER. J. H. Wingender was born April 14, 1854, at Philadelphia, Penn- sylvania. He received his education in his native state, and took up the profession of dentistry. He married Miss Clara Wiltrout in 1880 and in 1886 came to Hudson where he has since resided. Dr. Wingender is chairman of the board. CAPT. KINNEY. A. J. Kinney was born at Pittsburg, Wis., in 1857. He received his early education at a private academy and later graduated from the River Falls Normal and from the Law Department of the University of Wisconsin. He was married to Miss Susie Pierce in 1886 and settled in Hudson for the practice of his profession. Mr. Kinney is Clerk of the board.
