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.

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
