SENIOR CLASS STATISTICS When the class of 1916 leaves H. H. S„ It will, according to all available statistics, be the best on record. It has no equal in under- standing. brilliancy, good looks, and athletic material. The only year whon we had an opportunity to compare our marks with those of other classes was in our junior year. At that time. we. as juniors, led by five points. That year in order to get these marks the class as a whole studied a total of 6t, 550, 231 seconds. A class with such scholarship rcords would be expected to have a comprehensivo understanding. But all precious things come In small quantties. This class makes up in quality what, it lacks in quanity. None of the seniors have swelled heads. The smallest hat adorning the head of a senior is six and seven eighths, while the largest is seven. As far as height is concerned the girls carry off all honors. The tallest is 6 ft. 1-2 in. and the shortest girl has to stand on tiptoe to measure 5 ft. The seniors have a combined height of 155 ft. 1 in., or more than Three times that of the high school. They have not let their studies interfere with their growth. There aro fourteen girls and thirteen boys, but the boys weigh 259 lbs. more than the girls. The average weight for all Is 140 lbs. The class has a total of 486 years, or over three times the age of the I'nited States of America. The average of the class is eighteen Two members of the class are 16 years old: five, seventeen: twelve, eighteen: five, nineteen: and two. twenty years of age. In tracing the ancestry of the class, we And that the Scandinavians lead in number, there lining eight. Next come the Gormans with five, the English and the Irish with three each, and of Scotch-lrish descent there are two. Tied for last place there is one Swiss-Irish. one Xlerman-Irish. and one Scotchlrish-Norweglan. We must hot fail to mention that one member of the class accomp- lished the high school course in three years. Besides this, and to continue, the class has won fame through its orators, debaters, de- clalmers, athletics, and musicians. With such school records It is Im- possible to what heights of fame the members of this noted class may soon rise. OHAS. KELLY, STEPHEN SODAL. 13 CLASS SONG Entitled, ••H U D-S-O N By Luciie Miller Tune, “M o-t-h-e-r' I. Up to dear old Hudson High Went a Freshman class one day. To start the four Ions years of work. And to do that which pays: The teachers placed before them work. Which seldom did they shirk. And higher did they climb. Until now they have reached the goal. And. if you’d like to put them to a test. There’s one dear name which stands above the rest. CHORUS H is for the hundred things, you taught us. I’—means useful, which we will try to be. I - is for the days that are before us. S—is for the Seniors of ’16. ( means only that we grieve to leave you. N means never will we he untrue. Put them all together, they spell Hudson A word that means the world to us. II And now into the world wo come After the four long years. We’ve made good many friends and studied some: But now we have to part The saddest thing we have to tell. Is when wo say farewell. We’ll always think of Hudson High Where e’re we may be. And tho some day we may arise to fame. We’re satisfied we’ll ne’er forget this name— CHORUS—

The play Green Stockings” was a pleasing pro sontatlon. and was given by very capable and talented students. Archie Rowers as father Farady was a pleasant, old gentleman, with a deep affection for his children -so deep. Indeed, that he wished to see them marrh-d off his hands. Katherine O'Keefe, as hysterical Aunt Ida. played her part the most naturally, as her hysterics were real—owing to a slight case of stage fright. Celia, the old maid sister who couldn't get a decent man to marry her. was played by Etnelle Erickson, and Celia herself couldn’t have been better in this role. Colonel Smith, or Stephen Sodal. wai a profound prevaricator and was able to end Celia’s career as an old maid. Edmund Rleirer made a splendid proud old admiral, whose self-importance made hint ridiculous. Mrs. Rockingham, a charming English woman, was Edna Christenson. Bobby Tarver, the empty headed young swell, was admirably portrayed by Scott William- son. and Phylls, his flansee. by Eileen Burke. Jim Raleigh, a thought- less young man of thirthy-five. was none other than Earl Holden, while Ray Hamden took the part of the faithful family servant. SENIOR CLASS PARTY The Senior das entertairod themselves and the faculty at a party held in the kindergarten. A nrork auction” afforded most unique eitert'inmeit. 'A ray’-. Work” was nothing but a good old fashioned •’all day sucker ‘ Yourself rs others see you” was a parrot. A pal - of rubbers” was two small bands. Various other things were auctioned off to the hig cst biddr r in beans. Archie Bowers proved himself a very successful audio-eer and Miss Miller an efficient clerk. An elaborate lunch was served, the faculty administering.
