STAFF OF OFFICERS: Editor-in-Chief and Literary Editor. Assistant Editor Athletic Reporter Alumni and Exchange Editor Business Manager, Gordon Keeley. Assistant Manager, Wallace Gibson. FACULTY F. R. Hamilton J. W. Burkholder Louise A. Jacobson Melitta Klingholz Laura Cunningham Carol Smart Theda Howe Mary Heritage Laura Slaughter In looking over the old copies of the True Blue, we find that it is a very ancient and venerable institution. The first copy was issued in 1900, and in this issue we find the announcement of the organization of the Hudson High School Athletic Association. The twelfth birthday of the paper is in January of next year. Since 1900 it has steadily progressed and enlarged until now its only rival is the Ladies’ Home Journal. On the first editorial staff, John Balsom was Editor-in-chief, Elon Haycox, Literary Editor, and George Trieb, Local Editor. One of our former teachers, Lillian McNeel Miller, was reporter for one of the classes. Our English teacher, Miss Mary Heritage, was at one time Editor-in-chief of the paper. What is the purpose of the True Blue? Most students in the High School do not seem to understand its purpose. The paper does not belong to the staff alone. It is an expression of the whole school. It sets forth tbe best literary work, shows the High School lire and the numerous activities of the school. It cannot represent the school if the work is left to the staff and a few others. We all know that there is literary ability in the Hudson High 2 TRUE BLUE School. Now, why not use this ability which we possess and help to make the True Blue larger and better? Write a story, a poem, or anything you are able to write and give it to the editor. HISTORY OF THE NEW TEACHERS The positions left vacant in the High School last spring by the resignations of Miss Ketchum, Miss Buchanan. Miss Buell, Miss Comstock and Miss Kuehmsted have been filled by five new teachers, whose names, positions and histories will hereby oe related. MISS MARY HILL HERITAGE Miss Heritage was well known to Hudson people, even before she began to give the Hudson High School Freshmen the badly needed lesssons in how to make themselves understood when they talk English. She was born in 1889 in the little city of Sparta, but, not lik- ing the location, she, with her usual discretion, moved to Hudson when only nine years old. The fact that she received her educa- tion here accounts for her success in the university in later years. While in the High School she was Editor-in-chief of the True Blue and it is well known to all who have read the issues of 1905, that there have been few since that could compare with it for lit- erary value. She graduated with the class of 1906 and her photo, graph hangs with those of the rest of that class in the rear of the assemblv room. She intered the University of Minnesota in the same year that she graduated. While there she took an active part in dramatic work, being president of the dramatic club and taking the part of Rosalind in ‘ As You Like It” and important parts in several other plays. She was elected president of the Literary Society in her Junior year. However, she did not let all these things interfere with her studying, as is shown by the fact that she became a member of Phi Beta Kappa on account of high scholarship. She graduated from the University in 1910. TRUE BLUE 3 MISS CAROL MARY SMART Miss Carol Mary Smart, our jolly English teacher, came all the way from Wild Rose, clear across the state of Wisconsin, to teach in our High School. She was brought up on a farm, with no companions but Old Dan, the horse, and her chickens. She says that in her lonesomeness, she used to recite Kipling’s Recessional to the Plymouth Rock rooster. Her primary education, she received in a district school, learning while there those ancient subjects—“Reading, ’Riting and ’Rithmetic.” From there she went to Lawrence preparatory in preference to taking regular high school work, and by taking extra subjects each year she was able to complete the preparatory and college course in six years, between 1902 and 1908. While at Lawrence, she made herself famous by playing on the Lawrence girl’s basket ball team and by taking part in several class plays. In 1906 and 1907 Miss Smart was on the staff that edited the Lawrence school paper, “The Lawrentian,” and they still say down in Lawrence that never, since, has the paper been so thick and so interesting as it was that year. She was also on the staff that edited the Ariel Year Book. In 1908, Miss Smart was elected president by the Lawrean Literary Society, and when she graduated in 1908 she was one of the three wbo gave orations. After graduating she taught two years at Whitehall and then procured the situation of teaching English in Hudson High school. MISS THEDA FRANCES HOWE Miss Howe is the mathematics teacher. In the mathematics room she reigns supreme, her will is law. While in her room, no Freshman is seen pulling the hair of the girl in front of him, no Sophomore ever playfully jerks the chair from under a classmate so that he may behold him sitting down with emphasis on the solid hard wood floor. Her will is law—her rule is iron. She was born away down in Lancaster in the south-western part of the state. It was in the schools of Lancaster that she laid the foundation of her greatness. She graduated from the Lancas- ter High School in 1907, but, not content with a mere high school education, she entered Beloit college in the same year. 4 TRUE BLUE While here, she became interested in music and, while yet a Freshman, she gained, by her talent for music, a place in the Be- loit Glee Club. She was also interested in the drama. While she was a sophomore, she joined a dramatic club and, during the rest of her college career, she took part in many class plays. In the regular college work, Miss Howe specialized in mathe- matics, one of the hardest courses in college. She graduated in 1911, and is at present engaged in teaching the multiplication tables to the Freshmen and Geometry to the Juniors in the Hudson High School. MISS LAURA LOU SLAUGHTER Miss Slaughter is the teacher of music and drawing. On Monday and Thursday noons she presides over the High School, song-book in hand, and inspires the students, by precept and ex- ample, to rival the performances of the musical celebrities who sing from the depths of the Victrola. Miss Slaughter was born in Whitehall, Missouri. Although the fact is not popularly known, she is an expert on the piano, hav- ing studied and taken lessons on it for fourteen years. She com- menced the course in 1897 and continued it up to the time present, having studied in her home town, in Chicago, and Green Bay. In training her voice she studied a year in Boston and then went to Europe and took a course. Besides studying music, Miss Slaughter took a thorough course in drawing and designing, taking an honorable mention for her designing, in St. Louis. She gradu- ated from Lawrence Conservatory and Art department in 1911. Previous to coming to Hudson, Miss Slaughter had a class in music and one in drawing in Green Bay and was director of the High School chorus at Appleton. She was organist of the Baptist and Methodist churches while at Green Bav. Her love for classical musicis illustrated by the pleasure she took in riding on the merry-go-round in the recent carnival. MISS LAURA E. CUNNINGHAM Berlin, Wisconsin, holds the honor of being the birthplace of Miss Laura E. Cunningham. It was in the common schools of Ber- lin that she gained part of the wisdom which she is now imparting TRUE BLUE 5 to her Junior Medieval History class. Miss Cunningham entered Berlin High School in 1903. It was here she showed the first signs of future greatness, taking part in several declamatory contests, and winning first place in one and second place in another. She graduated from High School in 1907 and entered Ripon college to take an English course. After she had gone through the adversities usual to Freshmen in large colleges, it was thought by her fellow students that she had the ability to manage a school paper, so she was appointed to a place on the staff of “College Days,” the Ripon college paper. She took a great interest in dramatic work, and won a reputation by starring in several class plays. In the absence of the regular teacher, Miss Cunningham was frequently called upon to substitute in the English department, which goes to show that, although Miss Cunningham took an active interest in outside work, she did not neglect her regular studies— an example which many Juniors might follow with good results. She graduated from Ripon in 1911 and commenced teaching at Hudson in the same year. L. K. ’12 MY FLOWhR BED This year I sent for a collection of flower seeds I had seen ad- vertised in a paper. Among them was a package of mixed seeds. These 1 planted in a bed by themselves and watched them with in- terest. The number of different plants in that bed was surprising. First lettuce and parsley came up, then old-fashioned flowers, such as larkspur, pholx, and “love in the mist.” I noticed a small, feathery plant, whose flowers were white, bellshaped and small, and grew in clusters of five or six on one long stem. Another curious flower was dark red with yellow spots on it. These also grew in clusters of five or six on one stem, and were very small. I was surprised to find a number of coxcombs in my mixed bed. Some of these were a splendid dark red, while others were lighter and not so velvety and large. The foliage of some cox-comb plants is dark red, some bronze, and some green. Most of these plants bloom at different times, keeping the bed full of blossoms from early spring to late fall. This flower-bed reminds me of a bright, sunny day. When we 6 TRUE BLUE rise in the morning we do not know what the day will bring forth, just as we do not know what the package of mixed seed contains. Some ordinary incident may result in some unusual happening. We do not know what surprising things the package contains until after the bed is in bloom; and we do not know until after the day is over, the result of some apparently insignificant event. M. McD. ’15. AN OLD MILL This jjarticular old mill, about which I am going to tell you, is situated on the bank of the Willow river, in a little old deserted village, about twelve miles from the city of Hudson. The building is an old-fashioned, board structure, originally painted white, but at present of a weather-beaten aspect. Where the windows once were, now remains gaping holes, that in the dusk seem to be the eyes of some vast face. Over the place where the wheelhouse used to stand, the water now glides still and deep, with an occasional gurgle that after dark reminds one of the gasps of a drowning per- son. Because of all these wierd. uncanny things this mill, like every other old building, has the reputation of being haunted. J. J. D. ’14. HOW WE FOUND THE CRIMINAL A neighbor invited us to go out to Uncle Pete’s for some red peppers. The place was about two miles from town, but as we were good walkers we did not mind this. The road led through a thick wood most of the way and was very dark and lonesome. About half way there was an old mill. Nobody could remember when it had ever been in use; it was claimed to be haunted and no one liked to go past it at night. It was in the middle of the after- noon that we started; we were in high spirits and walked fast so as to be back before dark. We got the peppers and started for home. We had gone about half a mile when we heard the sound of distant thunder. In the woods we had not noticed the darkening sky. The storm rapidly approached; the thunder crashed incessantly, hardly giving us time to draw our breaths between the explosions. The lightning flashed so vividly that one instant our path was brilliantly lighted, anti the next was in utter darkness. We stumbled on until, com- TRUE BLUE 7 ing to a small clearing, we saw the old mill staring at us with its vacant windows like a huge monster of the storm. Thinking such a shelter better than none, we tried to climb in through the win- dows, but found them too high. We went around to the door, and, after Inching and pushing, finally forced it oi: en. Inside, every- thing was covered with dust. We had been within but a few mo- ments when a gust of wind blew the door shut. We at once rush- ed for it and tugged and pulled with all our strength, but were un- able to move it. At first, too frightened to think more, we did not know what to do. Here we were, locked in the haunted mill that people were afraid to pass after dark, a storm raging without and night coming on. Creeping to the nearest corner, we sank down among the cobwebs and thought of all the dread stories we had heard concerning the place. In a short time a noise was heard in the back part, a board creaked, someone was heard to sneeze several times, and then silence. How we lived through that dreadful night we never knew. Toward morning the storm abated; with the coming of the light our courage returned. Thinking that, in our terror, we had im- agined the sounds heard, we decided to explore the back part and perhaps find a way out of the building. We walked very quietly, and on looking through the door were glad we had, for, stretched on a bed of straw on the floor, was a man. One can imagine how frightened we were on finding anybody sleeping in such a place, but we did not scream, and so saved ourselves. On looking again we thought he looked familiar and thinking perhaps it might only be one of the town men, we drew nearer. All at once my compan- ion turned pale and clutched my arm. Drawing me into the next room, she whispered, “The Criminal! I knew at once whom she meant. For sometime the detectives had been looking for a man. His picture was in ail the papers and bv this means we were able to recognize him. Seeing a door partly open we crept stealthily toward it. Once outside, we ran as we had never run before. Reaching the sheriffs, all out of breath, we told Irm our story Several men went at once to the old mill and the man was taken prisoner. In time, each of us received $500 as a reward for finding the criminal. S. F. T4. s TRUE BLUE THE RECEPTION AT THE GYMNASIUM BILI DING On the evening of Friday, the fifteenth of September, a recep- tion was given at the new High School Gymnasium for the pur- pose of meeting the new teachers. All the scholars of both the High School and the graded schools and their parents were invited to attend, and everyone responded. There was a very delightful program rendered, for the most part, by the Alumni. Mr. Herbert. Andersen sang a solo accompanied by his sister Miss Mary Andersen. Mr. Cline, as the chairman of the school board, gave a speech on the advantages of a High School Gymnasium. Miss Marion Orarv sang a- solo accompanied by her sister Miss Agnes Crary. Miss Francis Helms and Miss Slaughter also sang solos ac- companied by Miss Agnes Crary. Miss Keely read a selection from Tenneyson’s “Sir Lauocelot, and the poem “Little Boy Blue. Mrs. Dooley played a piano solo. After this tine program was over, refreshments were served consisting of frappe and wafers, and, after visiting with then- friends for a while, everyone went home, feeling that they had had a very enjoyable time, and that the school board had made no mis- take in renting the Unitarian church building for the high school gymnasium. jj g THE BRIDGE For many years in the past, the people of Hudson and vicinity have been endeavoring to secure a bridge across the St. Croix river, but it is only within the past few months that their plans have been realized. When it was finally decided that a bridge could be built the question of where it should be located arose, and a great deal of discussion ensued which was settled by the vote of the people The majority were in favor of having the bridge extend from Wal- nut street. A contract was entered into whereby three prominent busi- ness men loaned the city of Hudson twenty thousand dollars aud TRUE BLUE 9 the city issed bonds to cover it. The contract provided that the bridge should be completed within ninety days, and every succeed- ing day thereafter the contractor would be required to pay the city of Hudson twenty five dollars untii the bridge was completed. Under this contract the bridge was commenced. A large barge was built to contain the dredge machinery which is said to be the largest dredge ever constructed for this kind of work. Day after day and night after night the dredge heaves the dirt in great piles. The work is progressing very rapidly, although they have had several accidents which have caused considerable delay. When the bridge is Anally completed it will be of great com- mercial beneAt to Hudson and a great time saver. T. N. T5 WEARING THE “M” Heretofore, it has been the custom of a football, baseball, bas- ketball player, or a debater to wear an ‘ H” though no rule has ever been established which governs the wearing of this emblem. In other schools, for instance. Menomonie and Stillwater, a student, in order to wear the initial letter, must either have taken part in a certain number of inter scholastic games, have won an or- atorical contest, or have been a member of an inter-scholastic de- bating team. In the Hudson High School, if a student accomplishes some feat worthy of honor, or even if he does not, he may wear an “H” if he likes. Hence, after he graduates he has nothing except his ability along the line of his special work to show that he has accomplished that which, in most cases, takes as much, if not more, time and energy than is realized. 't herefore, in view of this fact, I should like to suggest that each class appoint two members of a committee to meet with Mr. Burkholder as chairman to draw up a code of regulations regard- ing the wearing of the Hudson High School’s emblem: that they present it to the student body for a vote; and that they publish these regulations in the next issue of this paper, together with the list of those whose names are elegible to wear our emblem.

Hudson High School opened this year with something new in an athletic way, that is, a new gymnasium in the Unitarian church. The hall is large enough to play basket ball in, and a stage at one end makes it an excellent place in which to hold plays. There is no athletic apparatus installed yet, but this will be added as the money is forth coming. The Athletic Association started out this year with a deficit of $27.44, but this was all paid off by money obtained from the Athlet ic. Association dues, leaving in the treasury $12.81. A great deal of help is needed to finance baseball and basket ball and we need the support of practically everyone in the High School. Football Death Knell Sounded From present appearances, the chances of the Hudson High School’s ever having another football team have been blotted out. For two successive years the High School has been without a foot ball team. The chief reason last year was that the student body could not support three branches of athletics; the deticit of $27.44 stands as positive proof of this statement. This year when it came time for the gridiron stars to start the pig skin a-rolling, on- ly thirteen eligible men reported. Now this seems to present a very peculiar situation. Why is it that schools a great deal small- er than the Hudson High School can and do support base ball, foot ball and basket ball, having the necessary players aud the mouey at hand? This gives New Richmond and River Falls a chance to knock our athletic and in some ways we have it coming. The whole proposition is up to the students, and as loyal students it is their duty to come forward and boost three kinds of athletics. f o- V TRUh BLUE 15 Instead of foot ball, fall base ball is being played. Two full teams are out every night and somegood games between the Longs and the Shorts are expected in the near future. Good material is scarce, although first base, short stop and the out field are pretty well taken care of. There are three men out for catch, but none of them are making a success of it. There seems to be no one try- ing for second base, while, although there are candidates out for third base, it is practically open. Hut the most serious obstacle that has to be overcome is the lack of pitchers. Not a good pitcher has reported vet and one cannot be developed in a season. It took the pitcher, who pitched tor Hudson last year, three years to de- velop into a good pitcher. One peculiar situation is that not a single Freshman is out practicing. Base ball will suffer the fate of foot ball if things go on in this way. “WAKE, FRESHMAN, WAKE.” 18 to 2 The long expected game between the Longs and the Shorts oc- curred Wednesday, October 11. The game was won by the Shorts, and although the Longs look the best on paper, they were not in it at all. Henry Blier, pitcher for the Shorts, held the Longs safe at all times, and would have scored a shut-out if it hadn’t been for errors. SHORTS H. Blier H. Goldberg H Nelson T. Dorgan H. Stofer S.

Although all of the championship team of last year graduated, the -chances for a win- ning team are bright, as all the second team men are back, and they were able to hold the first team down to very low scores last year.
