TRUE BLUE 25 HIGH SCHOOL OPPORTUNITIES Some of the best opportunities which come to you high school students, to broad- en yourselves, are the events such as: de- bates, declamatory and oratorical contests, ahtletics, orchestra, and glee club. You enter high school, desirous of an education, which should mean not only the knowledge gained from books, but also the participa- tion in everything that tends to give culture. Surely this year there has been excep- tional opportunity provided by the addition of our Liteco Forensic and Thalian socie- ties. As formerly, we have had this year debates, glee club, orchestra, oratory, de- clamations, and athletics, conducted with greater success than before and with in- creased interest. You have missed a great deal if you have not been a member of or a participant in some of these activities. Through these your ability for using the knowledge which you learn in books may be put into practical use. The possibilities of this year are completed, but let us hope that you who remain here, and those who enter high school in the fall will make next year even better than this. Let this be your slogan: “Never say it can’t be done, but do it.” The school year of 1916-1917 is over and another class has been graduated into the “school of life.” Diplomas have been granted, and those seniors who have been trying to manage the school for the last nine months have become full-fledged alumni. What will become of them ? Some, and we sincerely hope all, will take an ad- vanced course in other schools in order to fit themselves further for their place in life, Some will have to take up manual labor, while others will enter the business world at once. But whatever they do and where- ever they go, we hope they may have high, noble ideals toward which they will ever strive. To them we say: Set a standard, have an aim, and always bend every effort to accomplish whatever you undei-take. Do your best every moment, no matter what the task, and in the end may you be suc- cessful! May you never do that which will reflect anything but credit and honor upon dear old Hudson high. When you have left our school, we hope you will not lose interest in it, but will boost it and its activities, and ever be— True Blue. Goodbye, loyal seniors! May the big world deal gently with you! “And as time with fleeting footsteps Glides along its rugged way, You’ll review your many victories, On some distant, future day.” L. G. S., ’18. Then the welfare of our students, To your minds return anew. Through the burning of the Sixth street school building, the citizens of Hudson have been forced to see the urgent needs of our school system. The wretched condition of our high school building has been taken into consideration,—its poor ventilation, scarcity and smallness of rooms, inadequate equip- ment, and other unfortunate features. Now a new, modern high school building is a certainty. According to the present plans, the building will be located north of the present high school, facing St. Croix street. It is to be up-to-date in every respect, with a large auditorium, a gymnasium, well ventilated class and study rooms of ample size, and modern equipment for manual training, domestic science, and agriculture, as well as for the regular courses of study. With more adequate accommodations a better school should result. There should be a livelier spirit of cooperation between the school and the citizens of Hudson, in- creased attendance, more interest and time given to athletics and other outside activ- ities of school life, and finally a higher standard of scholarship. L. G. S., ’18.
