TRUE BLUE 7 had an accident and sprained his hand very badly, which terminated his basket-ball career. The principalship of the Prentice Schools was held by him for one year. From Prentice he went to Fairchild, Wisconsin, acting as superintendent of the Fairchild schools for two years. He then attended the University of Wisconsin for one year, attaining his degree. For the past two years he has been superintendent of schools at Kilbourn, Wis consin, and from Kilbourn he journeyed to Hudson. COURTNEY CLARENCE SHERMAN Courtney Clarence Sherman is the assisiant principal, and is also the science teacher and athletic director. In “Lab.” he instructs the intelligent Seniors in the mysteries of Physics, and although the year is only two months on, the Seniors are willing to swear that anything he does not know about Physics is not worth knowing. He was born in Mineral Point, Wisconsin, and attended the common schools there, as well as the High School. While in High School he took a prominent part in Athletics. He played quarter, half and end on the football team, forward in basketball, and field and third base in baseball. He was also captain of the track team. He also took part in debating and was on the team which defeated the Milwaukee, Whitewater, and River Falls Normals. The fact that Mr. Sherman took part in so many outside school organiza tions shows that he must have done good school work and so affords an ex- ample which some of our own althletes would do well to follow. MISS AGNES E. FEENY Miss Feenv, our jolly Mathematics teacher, was born not far from here, in the city of St. Paul. It was there, at Central High School, that she began her progress toward future greatness. While attending High School, she was placed on the staff, of “The World,” the school paper of Central, as reporter of locals, and was also a member of C. H. S. Glee Club. She graduated from this school in 1906, with honors; ranking fifth out of her class of one-hundred and sixtysix, and again took up the furthering of tier education at the University of Minnesota. Here she specialized in Mathematics, one of the hardest courses in College, and was also a member of the Minerva Literary Society. At this time, she was known to take a “Weekly Constitutional” from the University to Bedford Ave. in order to save five cents car fare, with which to buy ice-cream soda in summer, and to be squandered on popcorn or peanuts, when the weather was cooler. She graduated from University in 1910. She took charge of her first classes at Hastings; and from there she went to Fifield, where she taught both Mathematics and English. She accepted the offer of teaching Mathematics here, about the middle part of last year, and we hope she will remain here for many more years.

(i TRUE BLUE HISTORY OF THE NEW TEACHERS There were several positions left vacant last spring by the resignations of Mr. Fuller, Mr. Burkholder, Miss Smart, Miss Server and Miss Heritage. These positions have been filled by five new teachers, whose names, posi- tions and history will hereby be related. Miss Feeny and Miss Holden have never had the honor of a biography in this wonderful magazine, so we will also record their histories, as well as Miss Thurston’s. Miss Smith is the only teachdT who has had honorable mention in these illustrious columns, so we will not include her little biography, but for the satisfaction of the inqusitive Freshmen we refer them to page three of issue number one of volume XIII. FRANK GORDON JONES Shawano, Wisconsin, holds the honor of being the birthplace of Frank Gordon Jones, our new superintendent. He secured his elementary educa- tion in Shawano, and graduated from Shawano High School in ’99. While in high school he took part in oratorical work, and was also President of the Literary Society for three terms. He first taught in the country schools, and later taught in state graded schools for four years. He then took up the regular Normal work at Oshkosh, from which he graduated in ’08, raak ing the course in a year and a half. While in Normal he went out foi basket-ball, and made center for the first team. At this point Mr. Jones

8 TRUE BLUE MISS HELEN M. BROWN Miss Brown, who accepted her present position of trying to teach th- Freshmen how to express themselves, so as to be understood, was born in Chippewa Falls, Wis. It was here that she received her primary education, and graduated from the Chippewa High School in 1907. Her higher educa- tion was obtained at the University of Wisconsin, where she took a special interest in all forms of athletics. Among the various forms, in which she took a personal plirt, were baseball, hockey, and bowling. Through the earning of five “honors” in Athletics, she received as a reward, the red “W,” and white sweater which she now wears. She completed her course at the University in 1912, and was then engaged to teach in the graded department of the schools of Chippewa Falls. From here she went to Spring Valley, where she filled the position of English teacher. Hudson then procured her to teach in the same branch, where she is found to be an all around good teacher, and is appreciated to the utmost. MISS EVA WHITE Miss White, the teacher of Junior and Senior English, was born in our own state of Wisconsin in the city of River Falls. At this place she at- tended the State Normal School, and showed a great deal of interest in all school activities. She was a member of both the Glee Club, and school orchestra, playing the Cello, in the latter. Besides this she belonged to the girl’s basketball team and was undoubtedly a first class player. After finishing Normal, she began her work of teaching in the graded schools of Baldwin, Wisconsin. Not being content with her education at Normal, she again resumed her work at the University of Wisconsin. While here she became a member of the “Gamma Phi Beta” Sorority. After graduating from University she accepted a position in River Falls, where she remained until she was offered her present position in the Hudson High School, where it is hoped she will be satisfied to remain for some time. MISS LI LI HOLDEN Miss Lila Holden is the only one of our teachers who was born in Hud- son. She graduated from the Hudson High School in 1907, and then went to l awrence University for one year. While there she was a member of the l awrean Literary Society. After teaching three years in a country school, she again went to school at Macalaster. Here she became a member of the “Hyperion Literary Society.” She graduated in 1912, and taught one sem- ester in Spooner. Then last year at the beginning of the second semester she came back to Hudson and taught Ancient, Mediaeval, and United States Government. This year she has the Ancient, Mediaeval, and United States History classes here.
