13 famed class of 1908. Were I to relate all, it would ne- cessitate an addition to the Hudson Public Library in or- der to contain the countless volumes. Our class numbers forty, a number exceeding any number which has grad- uated from the Hudson High or perhaps shall in succeed- ing years. Considering our number, you will not be at all sur- prised when I inform you that altogether we weigh 5200 pounds or from the “physics point of view”, 2,358.( ()8 kilo. The total weight of the girls is 2949 pounds, an average weight of 123 pounds. The total weight of the boys is 2251 pounds, an average weight of 141 pounds. Comparing the weight of the boys and girls, we find that the girls excel the boys by 098 pounds. However the boys claim the heavy weights, as James Graham and Emil Ruemmle are each striving to gain the 200 lb. mark. Our lightest member is the quiet little maiden, Kath- erine Darning, who weighs only 100 pounds. As to height, we reach the standard, for our tall- est boy measures exactly six feet; our shortest girl five feet, one inch. The total height of the girls is 129 feet, 114 inches; of the boys, 91 feet 1| inches, making a to- tal of 221 feet, 1 inch. The total age of the girls is 414 years, 7 months, 0 days; of the boys is 295 years, 3 months, 4 days, mak- ing a total of 709 years, 10 mouths, 10 days. The aver- age age is 174 years. With such an age as 709 years, 10 months, .10 days, our wisdom is never to be surpassed, for we are nearly as old as Noah. If small feet have anything to do with wisdom we certainly are favored, for the average size of the shoe is 44. Of course, that does not mean that every one wears 44, for the sizes range from 24 to 9. We have just rea- son to be proud when we learn that the shoes of the River Falls and Galahad classes had to be made to order. The big head does not seem to be characteristic of this class, as of some others and probably that accounts for our widespread and renowned wisdom, for big heads never succeed in making a display of knowledge. But do not think, however, that these qualities are the only ones which distinguish the noble class; it is known thruout the United States for its orators, deba- ters, musicians, editors and athletes. As orators, Byron Bradley, Casper Michalson and Harold Disney are eloquent speakers, whose glory will never fade. But our debaters have raised the glory of the class even to the skies by their many victories, especially the recent ones. Why the Galahad team have not yet recov-
