Hudson High School - True Blue Yearbook (Hudson, WI)

Text from Pages 1 - 80 of the 1924 volume:

foreword These are growing days during which we are cultivating a memory that shall grow more mellow each succeeding year. We have recorded a part of our high school life, with all its varied activities, in this book. We place this annual in your hands hoping that you will give it a sym- pathetic judgment and an understanding reading. Read it when you have leisure to read between the lines, when you may pause and recall the scenes of the year. EDWARD P. ROCK, Superintendent ’Dedication This number of the True Blue is approp- riately dedicated to one whose efforts have been untiring, both as teacher and advisor to us in our work. We wish to express, in this manner, our earnest ap- preciation to— SUPERINTENDENT E. P. ROCK OUR ALMA MATER Our faculty Have you thought, fellow students, what it means to us to have a willing and patient faculty, which is looking out for our welfare and is ready to help us over rough paths and stumbling blocks ? We cannot see or appreciate what they do for us until we have finished high school and are perhaps in a similar position. The Hudson High is no exception to this rule. The fact that we as students are permitted to come in contact with such a cosmopolitan group is worthy of consideration. Cosmopolitan, not only in variety and type of thought each faculty member represents, but also in the experiences of life whose proper interpretation saves us many pitfalls. Our faculty has faithfully striven to imbue us with love of knowledge for which they deserve our respect and gratitude. As a class when we have graduated from this school, we send back a cheerful greeting to them as a token of thankfulness for their long and faithful work. ( Kigh School faculty G. H. Cahill.

Days of dream and development There have been many distinguished classes graduating from the Hudson High, but the Class of 1924 is by far the most renowned. We have the size and spice of a mustard seed. One of the most exciting times of our Freshman career was the initiation ot of some of our boys. In spite of their hiding and protest against “getting wet” the upper class men laid hands upon them at some time or other and gave them a good bath in Oscar Anderson’s horse trough. Even as Freshmen we distin- guished ourselves by furnishing three good men, Pederson, Hope and Wright, for the football and basket ball teams. During our Sophomore year we organized a club in which we showed our ability as debaters, speakers and musicians. Pedbrson, Hope and Wright again represented us in athletics and three Sophomore girls en- tered the Declamatory contest; Evelyn Brandenburg, Agnes Lahiff and Violet Young. Our Junior year was even more crowded with activities. We re- ceived first prize for the class stunt, which was given at the Hallowe’en party. We also won the Inter-Class Basket ball tournament. The Jun- ior typing class was represented by: Violet Young, Helen Lind, Evelyn Brandenburg and Elizabeth Sodal. In contesting with Stillwater Violet received first place and Helen Lind fourth place. Violet, taking first place at the district contest, went to Whitewater. Doris Christoph rep- resented us in the district contest for penmanship. At last we became Seniors and as we have been very successful in our three years in High school, we are very egotistical. We again won first prize for our Hallowe’en stunt and also the Inter-Class Basketball tournament. We are the only class that has won both the Inter-Class Basketball tournament and first prize for the Hallowe’en stunt for two successive years. Pederson is the captain of our basketball team and Hope is our star player. Clyde Jensch was the captain and mainstay of our fighting football team. Four of the leading characters in the play “C’arence” were taken from the Senior class. Gifford Nelson taking the lead. Violet Young, Helen Lind, Elizabeth Sodal, Doris Christoph, Agnes Lahiff and Doris Engdahl went to Stillwater for another typing contest Violet receiving first place. The class play will end the school activities of the Class of 1924 and although our farewell is tinged with sadness, we find consolation in the fact that the impressions we have made will remain a part of Hudson High School History.

He has, at this time for his private secretary, a scheming young man, William Splan, in whom he foolishly places much trust. Through his position, William Splan, secretly head of a revolution- ary party, tries to overthrow the Czar and establish a republic with him- self as President. His charming young wife, Doris Engdahl, is in this plot with her husband, and aids him a great dieal by her extraordinary ability. Czar Ross received a telegram from his detective, Orvie Ssefland, a daring young man, who is working in Warsaw against the rebels. Clyde Jensch, a hot patriot, who is working under William Splan’s orders, is leader of this revolt. The Czar immediately sends troops under the command of Robert Iieggen, a general who took active part in the revol- ution of 1925, and locks himself up in his highest tower after having placed a firm guard about the room in which his will is kept; but through the treachery of his private secretary, Fredlerick Hughes, a young Amer- ican, is able to gain access to the treasury, and make away with the will. The Czar prizes this will almost above his life, because if the future Czar were known, he would be murdered by the rebels. Frederick hides the papers in his gold-handled cane and sets sail on the fastest boat forAmerica. Just off the coast of the West Indies, the ship is wrecked, and Frederick, the only survivor, having lost his pre- cious cane, is washed on the shore of the United States where he is res- cued by Agnes Lahiff, a heroic young girl. She has become a noted singer and is at present taking her summer vacation, after a strenuous and successful winter spent in singing for radio concerts in company with Elizabeth Sodal and Clarice Nelson, who were lecturing over the radio on home-cooking. But to return to the precious cane! Margaret Hannah, a dashing young maid, always fond of outdoor sports, is camping and sees a glittering object in the water. She dives with a daring loop and swimming rapidly to it, manages to grasp it in her hand In reaching the shore, to her disgust, she finds out that it is nothing but a cane and hurls it back in. A few hours afterward, Roger Defenbaugh, a young man with jet black hair slicked back from his forehead, coming along in a motor boat, is attracted by the bi’ight object in the water. He steers toward it. and with a swoop of his hand picks it up. In doing this, the p-old handle falls off, and the paper within is revealed to his sight. Roger is the craft- iest detective in Florida and at one glance at the paner realizes its im- portance. He makes for shore at a rapid pace, and hurries to t is office. Through his excitement he enters the wrong door, which in closing after him locks. With great surprise he finds himself in a small dirty room and sees a silent red head bending over a tvpewi’iter. At a closer loo1r he finds that it is his old classmate, David Hope, but his face is wrinkled and haggard and his shoulders are drooped. He is typing with rapiditv and mumbling at every error. David is one of the fastest typists in the United States. Conscious of someone staring at him, he looks up 5rue 'Blue and recognizing his old pal, jumps up to greet him. After a brief conversation, David tells Roger that he is now devot- ing his life to writing a manuscript on temperance. Roger tells him of his position as detective and David immediately says that he has lost a page of his manuscript and that he suspects Ruth Cuddebach, a cabaret dancer. Roger starts out after the young flapper. In trying to find out if she has the missing paper, he invites her to go to a dance, after which they go for a little stroll. Attracted by a crowd on the corner they walk up to it, and to their surprise find Gifford Nelson as the center of at- traction, with several pretty dames encircled around him. He is leading in the singing “Coming Through the Rye” accompanied by Cora Dahl playing a small organ. Screeching at the top of their voices are Helen Linn, Geneva Dunbar, Griselda Tursky and Esther Thill. After the singing is stopped Gifford delivers a speech on “Future Flappers.” They next pass a tent in which a Holy Rollers’ meeting is Defng held and enter it. Margery Miller and Winnifred Hanschel are rolling about on the ground in an outburst of religious feeling. Thinking that they are trying to reduce, Vivian Anderson, one of the audience, gets up and rolls about on the ground also. Finally, disgusted at not feeling any thinner, she jumps up and walks out. Roger, thrown into a trance by Ruth’s charm, tells her about the cane and shows her the papers. Ruth, by her sly cleverness, manages to steal them. Returning to conditions in Russia, we find that Hoo Robbins is now private secretary to Czar Ross in place of William Splan, who had been caught and executed for treason by Webster Hurst. Mrs. Hurst, nee Evelyn Brandenburg, is very adventurous and asks the Czar for his consent in letting her find the will. After much coaxing, he finally lets her take up the dangerous job. In communicating with an old friend, Nelsena Jahr, a leading wom- an suffragette, who also is employed in the Secret Service of the United States, Evelyn finds out that an actress has these papers. She sails to America and becomes acquainted with Ruth Cuddebach. By pretending to be one of her most intimate friends, Evelyn finds out that Ruth really has the will. As soon as she had succeeded in getting hold of it, Evelyn hurried back to Russia. On her way there she meets a sorceress, Helen Lind, who, as a friend of Ruth has learned of Evelyn’s possession of the papers. She lures her to her room, hoping to kidnap her and! take the will. Ev- elyn, having feared just such an outcome, had sent her maid, Audria Miller, a capable business woman, whom she knew she could trust, ahead with them. Helen Lind, enraged at finding that Evelyn hasn’t the papers, tries to make her tell where they are. Evelyn does not give up until she knows that Audria is safely on her way. Audria, meanwhile, reaches Russia safely and returns the will to Czar Ross, telling him of her mistress’ plight. Aid is immediately sent to Evelyn and Helen Lindl is arrested. At the return of Evelyn to Russia the Czar gives a great banquet and awards her with a dis- tinguished medal for her hazardous deed. £ rue ‘ZBlue Part of the class of 1924 attended this banquet, among them: Violet Young and Doris Christoph, formerly teachers in the University of Wis- consin, who were traveling in Russia at the time, and also the authors of this piece of literature. Through the stories of the different individuals of the class, we have been able to trace this one story and contribute it to the Hudson High school in memory of the class of 1924. “Life's greatest teachers are friendship, occupation, books, marriage and chiefly, heart hungers.” 3in Mmoriant JflVank (ttaltmiell Centra OVMeefc 5rue 'S wc Junion Class history The Junior class of 1924 numbers fifty-five students, five less than our number in 1921. We regret with sorrow that two of our class were lost by death. One of our class Harold Cummings, moved to Bangor, Wiscon- sin; another, Marion Walker, moved to Los Angeles, California. Our class has always been forward in all school activities, including: football, basketball, track, debate and oratory. Our class ranks first as to intellectual standings of all classes. In all activities, our' class has shown a wonderful spirit of co-operation and we have tried to influence under- classmen, especially, in that way. Our first president was Curtis Chryst, the man who will lead the foot- ball team of 1924. He, though incapicated by living a far distance from school, has always been a “forward” student. Our second: president was Cecelia Klein, who served as the best girl president our school has so far experienced. We have in our class a natural orator, Theodore Howalt, in whom all our hopes for public prominence are placed. Our class possesses a great supply of potential athletic material, little of which has so far been expressed. The Junior class.has always been “FORWARD” in everything per- taining to school, high ideals have been our hobby. Our class advisor, Miss Hannah Collinge, has been the promoter and to her we extend our thanks for making our class prestige rise We think that when the class of 1925 leaves school,that a great loss will be felt, although we feel assur- ed that our spirit of co-operation will remain as a precedent. —S.

Class Advisor, Miss Herrig. Although the Seniors captured] the prize for the Hallowe’en stunt of 1923, the Sophomores ran them a close second. A conventional lve story, read by Margaret Hellweg was literally acted out by Elenor Gillen as the heroine, Emil Anderson as the hero, Lawrence Williamson as the villain, and Ann Marson as the mother, producing a wildly ludicrous result. The actors were perfectly silent, but exaggeratedly portrayed their lines as given by the reader. The Sophomore Class, during the school year of 1923-24, produced good players, both for football and basketball while during both its High school years it produced,1 excellent material for track, dramatics, singing, and all branches of athletics. The social and scholastic side of the school will however miss the class of ’26 on its departure for higher fields, quite as much as will the athletic and dramatic side. 'Brue 'Blue freshman Cla history The class of 1926 or 1927, we guarantee, will be a class that will be long remembered when we have left behind us the school days at the H. H. S. On entering High school there were twenty students, now we number about twenty-six. We feel proud to have so many athletes and orators in our class and with the progress that has been made so far, we are waiting for the outcome of these classmates. The first day we entered! the High school was a day remembered by all the so-called “freshies.” During the study periods and assemblies we were teased and picked on by all our older schoolmates. The students in the higher classes have been very good in helping the freshies with athletic work and in social gatherings, and we now take the time to give them a hearty thanks. We have had the misfortune to lose some of our classmates that were with us in the grades, but there have been others coming in, so we feel satisfied. We hope to live up to the colors of the Hudson High school, being pure in our hearts and faithful to our athletics and other sports or activities that may take place during our school career. —ALTA JACOBSON ’26 DU -KU5 £ rue Blue T rizeStories PRODUCING A PLAY. The selection is the first consideration in the production of the play, but this is much simpler than the choosing of the cast. Usually try-outs are held, and the persons, who best portray the fictitious persons, are giv- en the parts. At the first few practices the cast is very earnest and enthusiastic, delivering the lines with fervor and animation. As the novelty wears off, however, the players suddenly develope cousins and aunts who must be met, younger brothers and sisters who must be cared for, and lessons which absolutely must be (Done at the time set for play practice. Hectic weeks follow, filled with agony for both the coach and the actors. Lines are rearranged to suit individual fancies, whole scenes are ingeniously skipped, the scenery shows a maddening desire to waver and fall at the most crucial moments, and the players feverishly seeking excitement, de- velope humorousness hitherto unknown to them. At last, however, lines are learned and delivered after a fashion, and the dress rehearsal is given. This goes horribly, but the play,mangled and dismembered, finally drags through a sea of promptings and wrong cues to its conclusion. The players, nervous, irritable, fearful of the next night, go about frenziedly mumbling to themselves. At last the big night arrives, and the play is given. The players keyed to a nervous tension, go through their lines brilliantly, scoring a huge success. The friends of the actors are awed by the talents of their ilustrious associates and shower compliments on the cast, who forgetting the dull weeks of practice look eagerly forward to another drama. Then, and not until then, does the wan-eyed, gray-haired coach drag herself wearily home to sleep and promise herself that never, never again will she coach a play—until the next time. “THE DUMBELL” “Miss Collinge is my teacher.. I shall not pass; She maketh me show My ignorance before the class. She giveth me more than I can learn, She lowereth my grades. Yea, tho’ I walk the roadway of knowledge, I leameth not; She fireth questions at me in the presence of my classmates, She anointeth my head with slams, My eyes runneth over, Surely outlines and notebooks shall follow me, All the days of my life; And I dwell in, The house of learning forever.” —L. W. ’26 'forue Blue EXCERPTS FROM THE DIARY OF XURXSKSM, THE MAN IN THE MOON “Yesterday, while joy-riding around in my sky fliver, my deferential went on a strike, and I dropped to the earth, near the little town of Hud- son. Upon landing, I went to Charlie Harding’s garage to have it repair- ed, but he told me that it would be profitable for me to visit Hudson High school. “I entered the school and my attention was at once attracted by a majestic figure of ample proportion, striding along the hall. Being awed by this commanding presence I fell upon my knees, and humbly begged her to tell me what manner of personage she might be. In ringing ac- cents, she proudly proclaimed herself to be a Sub-Junior! Although I did not know what a Sub-Junior was, I fell upon my knees and kissed the hem of her garment. Without favoring me with another glance, she swept into the Laboratory. “My attention was next attracted by a number of meek-looking in- dividuals, creepindg humbly into a room, and bending under the weight of their brown leather sacks, which were slung over their backs. My self- respect restored by their meek appearance, I boldy demanded their posi- tion in the school. Turning simultaneously, they all opened their mouths, and emitted these three words, “We are Freshmen.” Turning from me they again sought their original destination. “As soon as I had recovered from this encounter, my attention was forcibly attracted by two shrill bells, and immediately doors fell off their hinges by the force of the impact of a large number of excited persons in their frenzy to gather as quickly as possible in a large room a little way off from the hall. “Suffering from many minor injuries and a froctured arm, I at length pulled myself out of the melee and limped into the gathering place, just in time to see them all rush angrily to the front of the room to hurl insults and bellow their disapproval of a person who was conscientiously trying to imitate a monkey. I learned afterwards that this was called “ Assembly” and that they were having a pep meeting. “For the benefit of those who do not know what an Assembly is I will give the definition. Assembly is a mob riot agitated by excessive use of bell power. “Having seen enough of this mad institution I hastened back to Char- lie, took my flivver, unrepaired, and soared once more into the invigorating ozone, far, far, from the madding crowd.” COTTON Cotton is the fiber which surrounds the seed of several species of the cotton plant. It may be twisted into thread, and the thread woven into cloth. Most people wear cotton clothes all the year round. It seems to have been worn and made long before the beginning of history. The In- dians of America wore cotton cloth in Columbus’ time. The industry went slowly at first because the cotton had to be pulled from the seed by hand. But later Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. The fielcjls are plowed and fertilized and the seeds are dropped into a hill. The planting begins in February. In May or June the plants are rue Blue cultivated. It is done with a “long handled hoe.” During the last of September the cotton picking begins. Last spring someone gave me some cotton seeds. I planted them about May 1, in a flower pot in the house. When the plant was large enough I put it outside. I watered it every other night after the sun was down. About the first part of July it began to bloom. The flowers are white when they first open, but towards evening they turn pink. The buds open mostly in the morning. In September the first pod opened. When the flowers dry up they leave a little green ball. This ball begins to get larger and larger until it is big and round. It diries up and then when the ball is nearly all brown it opens. My cotton plant had thirty balls on it. When the first frost came it opened them much more quick- ly. I had two cotton plants but the one was planted too late, so it did not amount to anything. The larger plant was three feet four inches in height. It was somewhat less than a pound in weight. —ELDA YOUNKE JACK THE LUCKY John and Lewis were the greatest of pals. They perhaps liked each other because the traits which each found in the other were peculiar to himself. When they were small John and Lewis used to play marbles and John usually won. He enjoyed the game but no pleasure from his gains, often giving the marbles he won to some less fortunate player. It was while a very small boy that John acquired! the envious title of “Jack the Lucky.” Lewis was thrifty and dreamed of the riches he would make later in life, while Jack was lazy, the most careless, carefree fellow in the world. Jack knew every hobo and bum that came into town. He listened eagerly to the wierd tales of adventure, the colorful descriptions of places and scenes, the easy carefree life of a hobo as described by members of that profession. One day in their nineteenth year Jack and Lewis sauntered slowly down the well-cindered track to the depot. Picking the sunny side of an old box car Jack laid himself down and engaged in what Lewis deemed an unprofitable occupation, namely, that of kicking cinders and watching them roll down the side of the hill. “Lewis,” said Jack, “I am going to travel. I couldn’t think of get- ting money from home because I couldn’t make myself dependent on any- one. I’ll take what I have and leave. Better come along.” “Well now. mebbee,” replied Lewis in a tone which was meant to appear agreeable, yet clearly indicated that he had no intention of taking such a disastrous step. “When you going?” “This afternoon on the next train west. So long!” “Good Bye, old man, but gosh, you make up your mind sudden.” Jack had no idea how long it would be before he again entered the vil- lage of Springfield. He went to Montana where he acquired a certain amount of skill as a cowpuncher. His restless disposition soon produced a dislike of this occupation, so he went to Colorado. The beautiful scen- ery of the rushing Colorado grew old also and he crossed the old Santa Fe trail into old Mexico. His trail led southward for some time and then made an impulsive turn toward the north and the Gulf of Mexico. From 5rue Blue here it led northward until one day in May he landed in Atlantic City. He was standing one day, meditatively wondering if it had been worth while, wondering if he hadl paid too dearly for his experience and precious memories. His face had a foreign appearance and the heavy tan betrayed hard labor under a scorching sun. The lower part of his left ear was gone. He had left it in a gambling house in Beunos Aires when he took the part of a young man who was being cheated by a ring of crooks. He looked1 at his hands. The right had a long red scar ac- quired while working on a railroad in Guatemala when he prevented a falling timber from crushing a negro worker. A ragged bullet scar showed in the palm as the result of an argument with a Spaniard on a transport vessel He did not look for more signs of a wayward life as he knew they would be too evident. His eyes ifted so that he could focus the confusion and bustel of the street. A large limousine rolled by. In it was a burly fat man chewing ferociously on a short cigar and talking to the chaffeur. He had an an- xious bored appearance as one who had acquired success and money with- out having learned the art of making himself happy. He thought of Lewis. Perhaps he too was now enmeshed in the depths of business. Then his eye caught sight of a woman, embarrassed with numerous pack- ages. She was trying to cross the street but the bundles rendered her attempt difficult. Jack stepped forward andcheerfully volunteered his services. He found the bundles to be of more bulk than weight, and on the opposite side of the street he (Deposited them in a large touring car. As he turned to leave the woman called to him, “Wait a minute sir. Will you not give me your name? You see I thought it queer of a per- sen of your appearance to be so considerate and you look as if I could be of some help to you.” The woman who had said this was rather old and re- minded him of his mother. “No, I guess not,” he answered. “I always get along. I’m excep- tionally lucky; in fact they used to call me ‘Jack, the Lucky’ back in Springfield, Massachusetts. I’ve an aunt here in Atlantic City if I need help, but I-----.” “Are you John Richards, son of William Richards of Springfield?” in- terrupted; the woman. “Why yes. It seems uncanny that anyone in Atlantic City should know my name.” “Jack, I’m your Aunt Sue and you’re coming home with me right now and be my guest for a while,” she informed him with a smile. His stay with his aunt was all that even a lucky fellow like Jac1: could hope for. He arrived home on a bright beautiful Sabbath morning in early spring. As he walked down the street he saw many strange faces and those that he knew looked older and more sober than when he had last seen them. No one recognized him. H saw several new buildings. One was a large department store. On the awning was printed in large bold letters, ’’Murphy Bowdlen.” “That’s Lewis Bowden,” reflected Jack. “I must see him.” He did not need to go far for that dignified personage was coming down the street. His whole appearance had an air of business, from his well pol- ished shoes to his soft gray hat, but as he drew nearer one could see £ rue 'Blue heavy wrinkles formed across his brow. Jack could not help thinking of the man in Atlantic City as he said “Hello, Mr. Bowden, How’s business?” “Business is,” he broke off abruptly, extending his hand! and said: “Jack, old boy, hardly knew you. You sure must have been around and I surely do envy you your luck. I’ve always based my future on the theory that if Lewis doesn’t look out for Lewis, no one else will, but I see now that I’ve carried it too far. He who loses himself in the interest of others and the world always seems to be miraculously provided for — then with a smile,, “I suppose that you won’t look for us fellows now that you are heir to a million.” Never before had Jack heard such an oration from Lewis and he hard- ly knew how to take it. “See here, Lewis,” he said, “Please dbn’t ridicule my failure. It’s been hard enough without that.” “Didn’t you know that you are the sole heir to your Aunt Sue’s mon- ey? For years she didn’t know what to do with it, but now it’s all set- tled. A telegram came in this morning.” —EARL DAVIES ’25. “BESSIE SAVES THE DAY.” “Yes Sir,” continued Uncle Ebenezer Hitchens, “I won the pennant for Young’s College one year; done it all myself too; I did.” “Did yu now, Eb?” inquired Jeff Snothers looking up from his whit- tling. “Did you now? I never knew as you went to school.” At this point Aunt Tibby Myers entered the village store and post- office and Uncle Eb was forced to leave his comfortable chair near the stove to attend to his duties as store keeper. “Morning, Tibathia,” greeted Uncle Eb. “How is Ed’s rheumatiz to-day ?” “Oh, I left him splitting wood. His rheumatiz is like a lot of other fancied diseases; it’s a lot worser on days when there’s work to be did. He’d like me to think it’s achin’ him agin so’s he could get over here with them other loafers.” indicating Jeff Snothers and Joe Hopkins with a broad sweep of her thumb. “If it weren’t for me we’d ’a been on the street long ago.” Jeff bent lower over his whittling and didn’t bother to notice the thrust sent his way. Joe Snothers shifted) his chair around a little more and continued his humming, accompanied by a tattoo and the cracker barrel. “Yes, Yes, Tibby,’ ’soothed Uncle EB. “I’m glad Eb’s feeling bet- ter.” “Oh, he aint a feeling no better if you should ask him. That man can------” “Did you say two pounds of raisins or three?” interrupted Uncle Eb. The loyal old soul couldn’t bear to have his friend get this merited tirade directed against him, even by his wife, who had no sympathy with Edrs easy-going disposition. Aunt Tibby gathered her bundles about her and stowed them away in her ample market basket. She was the soul of neatness and order, and system prevailed in all her work. She had one of the kindest hearts 'fDrue Blue in th community, and was th first one on hand if there was illness in the neighborhood. Her sharp tongue made her respected by the “male ele- ment” of the town. Her departure from the store this morning was a relief to the pair back of the stove. She had an annoying habit of giving her opinion publicly about their methods of spending their leisure. “Yep! It was a great game.” Uncle Eb had a knack, as did all the others, of resuming his story just where he had left it, even though the intermission was a long one. “I can remember it just like yesterday. It musts bin all of twenty years ago; ’twas in the fall as I re’llects it. “Mother, she was west to Ioway a -vistin’ her sister Jane what mar- ried Henry Peters; member Henry don’t you, a son of old Jean out Casper way?” “I — Eh? Oh yes, about the football game. Well Tibby was at the bottom of it.” Here Jeff and Joe nodded knowingly. “She and Ed was on the farm then, they was, and just awful busy. Tibby’d promised mother a settin’ of her White Rock eggs and1 nothing wuld do but I’d have to come over after ’em. Their farm was ’tother side of Johnstown so’s it made a long trip. Well, I waited till one Satur- day so’s Sarah Jane Leland could stay in the store, and I started out about nine o’clck. I got out to Tibby’s just afore dinner; they wan’t expectin’ me so I put up the team and' visited with Ed for a while till dinner time. “Maud, that’t their youngest daughter, was the only one left to home, wa’n’t there; off some’res to a jubilee of some sort. After dinner I got all set ready to go back. “Oh,” says Tibby, “could you take me and Bessie along with you ’fur’s Johnstown ?” “Why sure,” says I. “How long will it take her to get ready ?” “But Tibby never heard me ’till she was racin’ off to the barn. Back she came in a minute a leadin’ along one of the biggest oxen I ever seen. I aint no coward, I aint, but I jumped when I seen that critter. Black and white he was, with a head big as a keg set on a neck thick as that stump out in Ly Whitman’s back pasture— recollect, Joe, how you and me set there one day awaitin’ for Ed to go fishin’ with us ?” Joe nodded his head in recollection and Uncle Eb went on. “There was Tibby, cool as a cucumber, aleadin’ that there monster by the halter. “You hold Bessie Eb, till I get my sunbonnet and calls up Sam Ver- ners that we’re a comin.” “Is that Bessie,” I gasped—(I thought mebbe Bessie was one of the neighbors).” “Why Bessie aint no kind of a name for that kind of a cow.” “Oh Bessie aint his real name, Smarty—it’s just short for Bessemer, the man’s name that raised him from a calf. He’s mild as a lamb, Maud leads him all over.” “I took holt of the rope and watched Bessie eat grass till Tibby got ready. We dumb in the buggy—me a drivin’ and Tibby holdin’ on to the rope over the back. Bessie walked1 along behind as nice as could be. By the end of a couple of miles I wan’t scairt no more of him hittin us sudden-like from behind. We got a talkin’ and I clean forgot about him abein’ there. When we got in sight of the old fair grounds and seen the biggest crowds a jumpin’ around out there—‘why, what the tarnation’, I 'fprue 'Blue says. “Oh, it’s just a foot-ball game,” says Tibby. “I never seen one neith- er but Maudie says that it’s lots of excitement. She’s a visitin’ one of the girls in town, just so she can see this game and James Clark—that’s Tom’sboy—is aplayin’ today.” “Soon’s we got a little nearer, old Ben picks up. He don’t like all their hollerin’.. “Easy Boy,” says I. “Ben was streaky, he was. If he took the notion not to go a place nothin’ would take him there, and I seen right there I was agoin’ to have trouble gettin’ past. I plumb forgot about Bessie. Ben started] to streak along a lot faster than Bessie wanted to go. Tibby kept aholt of the rope, though, and drug him along. Then Bessie seen the crowd with their everlastin’ hollerin’ and he started to drag back.” “You hold him Eb,” hollers Tibby. “Give me the lines.” “So like a darn fool, I hands her the lines. Right there I seen that Besise wasn’t agoin’ to keep up with old Ben, so there wan’t nothin’ for me to do but get out over the back and stay with him. If he’d a got away he might a ot hurt the crowd, but his looks looked as if he might. “Just as I was gettin’ out he yanked the rope out of rny hands; I grabbed it quick, but not afore he’d started out, headin’ on a beeline for that game. Just then they let out a lot more whoops, and he speeded up. “Snag him ’round that post, Eb, I hears Tibby’s voice above the racket; so I tried to steer him toward one of them posts. Just then the players heads for us, and Bessie heads for teh country. I seen that the line we was a followin’ would about drag me past one of them posts they had set up an’ it did. The jar threw me plumb off my feet and turned Bessie around in his tracks, and I hurried and twisted the rope around once more, and then Bessie bellered. Them players wan’t more’n fifteen feet from us, but they was that busy upsettin’ one another that they never seen us. “When Bessie bellered they all gawped arund, they did. Someone yells ‘Hip,’ and here comes one young feller with the ball under his arm headin’ right for Bessie. I hollers at him to stop but he keeps right on a comin.’ All the others were that scart all they could do was to watch him. Bessie bellered again and lowered his head. I shut my yes; I knew what wuuld happen, I did. I didn’t dast to open ’em agin till I felt somethin’ jerk on the rope in my hand, and there was that Young’s eller a anchorin’ Bessie fast to the post, solid and tight.” The telephone had been ringing insistently for five minutes, but Uncle ]b was deep in his story, and his listeners were back with him toi that football game. “The Young feller turned! to me and demanded ‘Where’d you get Bessie? The Lord sent him to save the game for us.’ “The Lord never,” says I. “I brought him myself; but I thought you was a goner.” “Nope! Bessie wouldn’t hut me,” says he. “Why, Maudie and I used to ride him when we were kids.” “I just set there weak as a rag, till Tibby came a-walkin’ up. “Why James,” says she, “What happened to Uncle Eb?” “Mrs Meyers,” says he, “Bessie saved the pennant for our school. He 'forue 23 lue elped me win. He saved the pennant for Young’s College.” “He never,” says I. “It was my foresight in tieing him to that post. Tibby was all for-------- Now, as if for the first time Uncle Eb heard the telephone and rushes to answer it. As soon as his back was turned, Joe looked over at Jeff andl winked. Jeff shrugged one shoulder and resumed whittling. AN INCIDENT IN THE BOY SCOUT CAMP. It was cold, wet, and a fog rose out of the Willw river stream; and all of the Boy Scout camp were plunged in sleep—all save one, Daniel, who lay tossing on his bunk in his sleep. He arose and clad himself and came over to me and awoke me. We crept out and freshened the fire and started over the hill to Nolan Jacobson’s tent. As we approached it, a warming ray of sunlight crept into the valley and thrust joyous courage into our hearts. Our young pal was stretched at full length on his bed of spruce boughs and his clothes were lying beside him. He awoke as we pulled the flap aside and arose on one elbow, for he slept lightly, a final morning’s sleep, and said: “Who the dickens are ye anyway? You must have come here for some strange purpose for ’tis not gray dawn yet.” Daniel whispered and Nolan Jacobson arose and clad himself in his robe of boy scout clothes and) armed him with his hatchet and fishing rod. The three of us walked in single file through the woods—Daniel in the lead— and came to the brink of the Willow river and uncovered a light, sturdy canoe. We launched the canoe and set forth, Daniel at the head and I at the stern. The mist arose thinly and the sun shone through it, even as after a day of rain it pours its rays into the passing vapor, forming a many-col- ored rainbow. So did the sun’s reflected rays shine on us. The canoe swept up stream, and as I looked back, a stir of human forces appeared in the camp and the many camp fires danced through the last of the mist, as in the mid of night, the elves and fairies, clad in silky, waving garments, skip and dance in the rays of the moon. So did the fires of the boy scout camp seem to us. We neared! a bend and stopped the canoe and drew it up on shore and took our fishing tackle. The fish were biting well that morning. As I tugged at a large silver bass, the fish turned on its side and sun rays shining through the clear water, glanced and shone full in my eyes as, when just before a storm, the sun seems to shine its hardest and gets dim and is not seen again until after the storm. Likewise did this huge fish shine in my eyes. t rue 'Blue The Girls’ Athletic Club was organized in the fall of 1922 under the direction of Miss Roe. Several teachers selected sixteen girls from the high school as charter members. They were: Ruth Arnquist, Ruth Wright, Lucile Larson, Minda Anderson, Catherine Lahiff, Elvira Thoen, Evelyn Brandenburg, Jean Bradford, Marie Ruemmele, Vivian Anderson, Pauline Yoerg, Doris Christoph, Juanita Slauson, Marion Walker, Marie Lundy and Helen Walker. Since then the club has added more girls to the membership list until there are now about thirty members. The purpose of the club is to encourage high ideas and to push and boost every activity of the school. This is shown by the motto: DEV- ELOPE YOUR PUSH ANTD YOUR PULL WILL TAKE CARE OF IT- SELF. The officers elected in 1923 were: Marion Walker, President: Margaret Hellweg, vice president; Evelyn Brandenburg, secretary; Agnes Lahiff, treasurer;; Miss Roe, advisor. At a home-coming Christmas Party held in 1922 the members sold sandwiches and cake to raise money to buy new gym equipment. This was a great success. The members served as a telephone committee to let the parents know when school was to be held in the evening so that they could visit school. At Christmas time their services were enlisted to sell the Christmas Seals This item which is from The Hudson Star Observer gives you an idea of the initiation of the club this year: Pigtails here, pigtails there, Pigtails everywhere.” “I don't see what makes some of the girls wear their hair that way,” remarked rne of a crowd which had assembled to watch a group of girls wearing pigtails go by. And how does it happen that each has the same number 1-2-3-4-5-6- 7-8-9-10? Ten braided pigtails. How hideous.” During the week the members must wear a G A. C. tag in a conspic - uous place; they must bow to all teachers in the high school and also to the old members of the G A. C. rue Bluc Live IsOires-LBorjs' Club In the fall of the year 1923 a bovs’ club was organized. The nur- pose of this organization is to develope debate, extemporaneous speaking, parliamentary (J.'ill in which all boys of high school might take part. Another feature of this organization is a weekly athletic program, includ- ing volley ball, basket ball, and indoor baseball. The weekly meetings of this organization were suspended at the end of the first semester in favor of school athletics, namely basketball. It was not hoped that this organization should be a perfect one in its first year, but sufficient degree of interest and success warrants its con- tinuance. The officers of this year are: Dave Hope, President; Gifford Nelson, Secretary and Treasurer; Sam jensch. Critique. 'forue Blue Student (Council The student council was organized in September 1919. Since that date it has been an active institution. The purpose of the organization is to give the student body a voice in the organization and management of student activities. The personnel of the student council is made up as follows: The officers of each class and club become members of the organization upon election. The athletic teams, captains and coaches are representatives from their respective organizations. The faculty is represented by the principal and faculty advisers of each of the student organizations. This body of representatives elects the council officers at its first meeting each year. Some of the things that this organization has accomplished this year are: Voted to publish a school annual; made final selection of an- nual staff; passed rules in regard to exemptions in examinations; assisted in organizing school parties, etc ‘fSrue ‘33 lue Oratory? On April 16 before the entire High school body Edwin Johnson re- ceived first place, while Theod'ore Howalt received second place. These two will uphold the honors of our school n April 23 when the League Con- test will be held in Hudson. The League has for its members the towns of: Ellsworth, River Falls, New Richmond and Hudson. rDeclamatory Contest The following girls have entered the declamatory contest: Louise Olson, Margaret Nelson, Marjorie Hughes, Katherine O’Rourke, Violet Young, Margaret Singer, Jenie Golden, Lorrayne Axt, Zilda Audette, Alta Jacobson, Aileen Fitzgerald, Margaret Hellweg, Margaret Burk- holder. These people are being coached by Mrs. King, Miss Hugunin and Mr. Nyberg. In the contest of last year Katherine O’Rourke won first place and Zilda Audette won second place. Several of the other girls showed con- siderable talent, so naturally this year’s contest was a close one. Violet got first place while Zilda Audette and Margaret Nelson won second and third places, respectively. Those who won first and second places will compete in the district contest, representing Hudson. Uebate Our school debate team met the Stillwater team in a very interesting and close contest. The question was: Resolved: that immigration shall be prohibited for a period of five years, constitutionally conceded. Mr Rock coached the Hudson team composed of: Marjorie Hughes, Anna Marson and Sam Jensch. Our team was a credit to the school al- though defeated by a vote of two to one. Considering the time Hudson devoted in preparation for this contest, the team did remarkably well. Hats off to Mr. Rock and the team! rue Blue RSrue '33 lue Staff Time passes and the day arrives when the “TRUE BLUE” of old Hud- son High will appear before its readers. We have tried to make this annual the best ever, and whether we have succeeded or failed is for you alone to judge. We have had an ex- perience common to all staffs, some have done the work, while others played. Believing in the success of this “TRUE BLUE” I wish to extend a word of thanks to Mr. Rumpel and Mr. Nyberg for their earnest and helpful work on this book. Without their aid we could never have suc- ceeded. Our best wishes go to those of the “TRUE BLUE” to come. We hope they will have a real success. With no intention to wound and with all intention to please we have created' this year book. —THE EDITOR. c rue %Blue Qiris’ Qlee fclub The Girls’ Glee Club is now a four year institution, having been estab- lished in 1920. The first year there was only cne glee club, all four class- es being combined. Reba Offerdahl was the very able accompanist. Several programs were given at Auditorium periods and for the Woman’s club, but no operetta was produced. The time was spent in unifying the tone of the club. The second year showed a division in the Glee Club, as the enrollment was too large for one class. The Junior and Senior girls were banded for advanced work, while the Freshmen and Sophomores did preparatory work. Reba Offerdahl still obliged as accompanist. Although no op- eretta was attempted this year either, the music given in the programs was much more difficult and the renditions were greatly improved upon. The third year the Glee Club still continued in the divided classes. This year, however, an operetta, “Yankie San” was undertaken and proved a great success. Flora Meissner accompanied the Junior and Senior Glee club, while her sister, Gertrude, accompanied the Freshmen and Sopho- mores. The fourth year class of this club, which has now been combined, un- dertook more difficult music than could be accompanied readily by a High school pianist, so Miss Amy Christopherson, kindly consented to play. An operetta, “In India,” distinctively oriental both in music and costume, was produced. It was very successful and enjoyed by all. Many more programs were given for auditorium and the Woman’s club. rue Blue MEMBERSHIP FIRST Sopranos: Vivian Anderson Stella Beggs Zilda Audette Elinor Gillen Anna Marson Imogene Miller Helen Lind Margaret Singer Helen Solheim Blanche Baker Marian Stevens Alma Mayer Evelyn Brandenburg Jenny Golden Second Sopranos: Margaret Hellweg Audria Miller- Mar jorie Hughes Margaret Nelson Violet Young Ethel Engbretson Alto: Margaret Hannah Alta Jacobson Margaret M. — Clarice Nelson —E G. '26 dlTILETICS W rue Blue (poach n umpcl ATHLETICS IN THE HIGH SCHOOL The title chosen for this article allows the writer a wide field, but the discourse will treat of but a few of the constituent elements which might be included under such a heading. Principally among these will be the purpose of high school athletics. “Athletics” as such is by no means a broad nor yet a narrow sub- ject. It is however quite recently that it has acquired its present mean- ing, viz., organized, competitive games. To the Gx eek Athletics meant merely a stepping stone to beauty. To us it means a championship in a particular class or type of game In this latter view lies much of the trouble and unrest of the athletic world of today. To be more specific let us divide the purpose of Athletics into the three familiar divisions: physical, mental and moral. Athletics certainly have a physical benefit. They tend to correct the posture, encourage hygienic methods of living and aid in the gsneral development of the muscles. There are few cases where athletic are overdone physically, although cases of “athletic hearts” and “burnt out” bodies have been reported. These are probably due to selfish coaches, who wish to maintain a winning team. In competent hand's however these results do not come about. Al- though many people argue that a child can gain physical exercise by working at home; we must say over and against this statement that few homes take the trouble to provide the necessary work, and if it were provided said child would lack the zest to enter into it heartily because of the lack of the play element and competition necessary to whet his energies. It is true that athletics in themselves will not furnish an outlet for the physical energy of the entire student body. “Athletics” is but a branch of the expansive field of physical education, and we stand with that eminent authority, Walter Camp, in saying that in most schools ’ZSrue ffllue we are educating only a few, i. e., the men on the teams, in place of look- ing after the whole student bodiy. This fact is, however, slowly being crowded out by the organization of intra-mural athletics. Notably among the institutions leading in this respect are the Uni- versities of Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin. Procedure is different in each of these schools, but results are practically the same. Might not their same methods be some day used in our high schools ? The second purpose of athletics as outlined above is to develope the mental side of life. A single example taken from the football field will suffice to clarify the point. It is true beyond a doubt that football as any other game requires quick thinking and wit in order to execute plays, or to outguess the other fellow. The star player always thinks a jump ahead of his opponent. Football intuition’ and habits must be developed. These come only after a thorough rational process and con- stant application of the physical act to the mental in order to gain per- fect co-ordination. One who is mentally sluggish rarely succeeds on the athletic field. Scholarship and a good athlete go hand in hand. Colleges have been known to abandon football and the standards of scholarship were not raised' by its absence. By far the most important part of athletics is the moral factor. It is this phase which really developes or retards the character of the par- ticipants, depending upon the aims, personality and spirit of the coach and team members. A hasty analysis will point out a few of the tenets of the moral side of athletics. 1. Athletics train in citizenship and respect for law by an observance of the rules of the game. If this respect for law can be carried over into civil life, it may aid in offsetting the growing disrespect for same. 2. Athletics are today conducted on a higher plane than ever before; there are fewer penalties and the opponents are not enemies, but are’ 'guests” to whom is shown the best of treatment. One has but to visit a homecoming football game at one of our great universities to appreciate the fore- going statement. 3. Various associations have been formed to have the games conducted honestly, and through educational propa- ganda a better definition of “sportsmanship” has been devel- oped. The idea of sportsmanship is by far the greatest in the athletic field, because it stresses loyalty, unselfishness, courage, self-control and co-operation. Can any factor fur- nish more fundamentals in character training? To further illustrate how an athlete who is a true sportsman conducts himself we find that he must not strive for an advantage de- nied his opponent. No one is guaranteed a winner but all have equal opportunities. How vital this factor was to our forefathers is readily shown in a perusal of that all-important document, the Constitution of the United States. Further, a true sportsman does not boast when he wins, nor does he alibi when he loses. The sportsman is too big to gamble on the outcome of a contest. Surely it is the Golden Rule put into practice. 'forue 'Blue It will readily be seen that a “sportsman” and a “sport” are not far separated and much depends upon the proper supervision of athletics. A bit of lax or misdirected' supervision may do an incalculable amount of wrong, but it takes much intense fearless and above all clear guidance to result in a wholesome development of human nature and character through athletic competition. —HARRY E. RUMPEL. c(5rue ZBlue RIVER FALLS AT HUDSON Bringing a large crowd of supporters with them, River Falls invaded our territory with blood in their eye, and succeeded in taking our scalp back on the long end of a 13 to 6 score. It was a slow game, the field and all being very muddy and the going slow. Our only score was made on a long pass to Pederson with goal missed. NEW RICHMOND GAME With both teams displaying the grit and determination that predom- inates every New Richmond-Hudson game, our ancient rivals had a slight edge over us and came out with 22 points to our 0. Captain Lynch’s squad outweighed1 Hudson considerably and used it to good advantage though they had to fight hard to win. This game has always been the greatest contest of the year and although our men lost this year they have hopes for the coming season. The game has always been a hard fought one and we hope that those in the future will all be as good as the contests in the last few years. 9 he ‘Basket Ball Season Hudson this year has had a successful basket-ball team, not in the percentage column, but in the sportsmanship and “true blue,” displayed by the members of the team. We have contested the strongest teams that have representd this district in years, and to this fact we can lay our number of games lost. Also, our team has been formed from green material. Only one letter man and a reserve from the preceding year’s team were left over. The new eligibility rule which dose not allow fifth- year men to compete in athletics cost us Jensch and other men who prom- ised to make Hudson a winner. This left us with only Captain Pederson, with which to start the season of conference games. In the opening game with the Twin City Business university we were defeated 15 to 10. This team is composed of ex high schuol and1 college stars. They proved to be too much, althugh a spurt by Hudson in the final minutes almost cost them the game. Our next opponents were the Alumni. Here we obtained a win, de- feating them 27 to 20. The game was close and interesting and in the final quarter the blue and white ran the score up ten points, allowing their opponents but two. This is the first time the Alumni has been beaten by the high school for a long time. ruc 'Blue Our first conference game was at River Falls where wet lost by a score fo 11 to 10. This was one of the best games ever played in their gym, only five field goals being caged during the entire game. The score at the half was 5 to 5. The winner was in doubt until the final whistle. Hudson’s chance was lost in the last minute when two free-throws were missed. The Elmwood game was the first game played with the absence of Jcnsch. A new man had to be trained and our loss was probably due to this fact. We were downed 11 to 2. In our return game with River Falls we were off form and1 lost 24 to 16. This was one of the two bad slumps of the season. At New Richmond we were beaten 19 to 14. This was one of the hard fought contests of the season, and one of the best games ever played against New Richmond on their small floor. Our second and last win of the season came in the Menomonie game when we defeated them 16 to 14. From the standpoint of the spectator net many closer, faster, or cleaner games have ever been played in our gym. At the end' of the first quarter the score stood 8 to 1 in the visit- or’s favor, but two long shots and a free throw in rapid succession brought the s°ore 8 to 6 at the half. The second half showed many thrills to the crowd. The score see-sawed back and forth until with only a few seconds to go Hudson brought the score to 16 to 11, but a field goal and one from the foul line added three more to Menomonie’s total and the final whistle blew ending their spurt. The game following with Elmwod was the other slump of Hudson and we were defeated 23 to 12. The game was slow and uninteresting, neith- er team making much headway and it was only the visitor’s long, lucky shots that brought up the score. The next two games with River Falls and New Richmond were lost 25 to 8 and1 28 to 13 respectively, neither game being of much interest. In the final game with Menomonie the team had hoped to draw second blood, but were unable to cope with the low ceiling and the long narrow floor and lost 25 to 10. Nevertheless a hard fight was put up and before t e whistle blew both teams knew that they had been in a real basket ball game. This ended the season for the Blue and White, as the invitations to the tournament were not accepted. Hudson should in the coming season of 1924-25 have a strong and winning team and be a strong contender for the district championship. T’ ree letter men. including Fcss, Ostbv and Anderson will be back. In Hope and Pederson we lose two valuable men, but with men like Kottke, Houcks, S. Jensch. Robbins and Shetland also back, their places will be capably filled. The gi’eat wealth of Freshmen material coming up will also be a great asset to the team. BOYS’ INTER-CLASS TOURNAMENT As was expected the Seniors copped the inter-class basket ball tour- nament again. This was their second time in succession, having taken it the year before under the name of Juniors. They had an easy time beating the Freshmen in the opening game, taking them into camp by a 21 to 2 score. The Frosh were nearly shut out; had it not been for Boody who in the last minute hurled one of his CZ5rue Blue famous left-handed hooks half the length of the floor to settle snugly in the loop. Immediately after this game the Juniors lost a hard fought game to the Sophs, 12 to 10. The winer could not have been picked until the final whistle, one team fighting ahead, only to be tied up in a few' minutes. The next night the winners played winners and the losers played los- ers. The Seniors defeated the Sophs 16 to 8 in a hotly contested' battle, w'hile the Juniors easily defeated the Frosh 18 to 5. The tie between the Sophs and Juniors for second place was not play- ed off and it was decided that it should remain over until next year. The Standings at the Finish of the Tournament won lost per cent Seniors 2 0 1000 Juniors 1 1 500 Sophomores 1 1 500 Freshmen 0 2 00 The customary game between the w'inenrs of the tournament and the faculty was played off, the Seniors losing 26 to 22. They had a decided advantage over the Faculty in the first half, out-playing them all-around, but second wind is what counts and the Faculty proved it, coming back strong. Their shooting eye was too accurate to be of any comfort to the Senirs and they slwyl caught up to them, besides making two more field goals before the final whistle blew. The faculty kept up their record as they haven’t been beaten by a class team for many years back. HUDSON GIRLS DEFEATED BY THE RIVER FALLS UIRLS On Friday evening, Feb. 21, the Hudson girls played a real game of basket ball. At first they were rather at a loss for this was their first game of the season. The River Falls girls had played several other games and were in much better practice than our girls. This did not seem to daze our girls in the least for the Falls girls had to say that this was the hardest game they had ever played. Our girls have a promising future, if they keep up their good work. The final score was 16-14. Hudson Line Up River Falls M. Singer F. D. Baird M. Mulvaney F. L. Hunt A. Marson C. P. Griffin D.

Sherry 'Brue 3$lue INTER CLASS ALL ACTIVITY CUP RACE The close of the basket ball season left the school without any athletic activities; so it was decided to have an interclass tournament. The con- testants for the tournament will not be picked, but anybody, boy or girl, may take part in the contest. At the end of the season the silver loving cup will be given to the class having the greatest number of points for the whole season. In this way the season will be completed1 to the advantage of everybody, and will promote class rivalry. The competition between the classe will be very great as the different classes have good' teams. This was shown by the first encounters. If you think that you have the ability for athletics, you may take a position in the girls’ or boys’ basket ball teams, in girls’ or boys’ volley ball, girls’ indoor track, boys’ track, oratory, declamatory contest, debate, marbles, or base ball. The valuation of the various games will be determined as follows: Girls basketball, first place 1000 points. Girls’ basket ball, second place 500 points. Boys’ basket ball, first place, 1000 points. Boys basket ball, second place 500 points. Girls’ volley ball, first place 1000 points. Girls’ volley ball, second place 500 points. Boys’ volley ball, first place 1000 points. Boys ’volley ball, second place, 500 points. Girls’ indoor track, first place 1000 points. Girls’ indoor track, second place 500 points. Boys’ track: The one who takes first place will be given so many points for that event. Oratory, 100 points for each entrant. Oratory, 100 points for first place. Oratory, 50 points for second place. Declamatory, 100 points for each entrant. Declamatory, 100 points for first place. Declamatory, 50 points for second place. Debate, 200 points for each member of team. Marbles, first place 500 points. Marbles, second place 250 points. Marbles, third place 100 points. Base ball, first place 1000 points. Base ball, second place 500 points. Basket ball, volley ball and track will take place in the gymnas- ium, while marbles, baseball and boys’ track will take place out of doors as the weather permits. t rue 33 lue n U MORS u iBut let me laugh awhile I’ve mickle time to grieve” NO STANDING JOKE Poor Bud stood on the burning deck, He stood there very still; He has to stand a lot by heck— His boss is Harry Rumpel.

NEW RICHMOND GIRLS The effort made by Hudson and New Richmond rooters to give this game publicity was well rewarded by the huge crowd which flooded the Athletic Field at 2:30 p. m., Saturday. Every loyal Hudsonite was gratified and expressed his approval of the splendid showing which the Blue and White team made. As is well known, this game was scheduled for two weeks ago, but, owing to the de- lay in the delivery of the special outfits ordered by our doughty squad, the game was postponed until yesterday. Although they caused a fort- night’s delay, which was bitterly regretted by the impatient fans, the costumes were unanimously acclaimed worth waiting for. Vivian Anderson, center, appeared in a charming outfit. Her trous- ers, which were a dark red satin, were heavily embroidered in orange in an odd pattern of the Chinese mode. The oriental note was carried out by the long tassels suspended from the kimona-blue sleeves of the orange sweater, embroidered in blue and gold dragons. Her heimet was in the shape of a mandarin’s toga, with a long tassel, suspended from the top, hanging gracefully over her shoulder. The costume was completed by bamboo clogs on her feet, and a tiny brocaded Chinese vanity case. Miss Anderson’s was the only costume which had a foreign influence. It was acclaimed the most artistic, but was hard put to win over Margaret Hellweg’s costume. Miss Hellweg’s trousers, dark blue pcirrot twill, had a pleated full of green silk below the knee, and narrow short pane of +he same material. Her sweater, a delicate shade of coral, was knit in the quaint old drop stitch, which is coming again into favor, and was belted with one of those popular wide suede belts. Her stockings were a beau- tiful pearl gray, with tan clocks. The slippers to this costume were grav with saddle and heel, a fascinating Spanish type of shell pink. The crowning touch, however, to this chic outfit, was the black s-x-de helmet, heavily stitched in orange, red and the shade which the smart are calling Sphinx color. Miss Hellweg’s costume was a close rival of Miss Ander- son’s and was defeated by a very small number of points. The costumes of the rest of the team, although bewitchingly one-mal. were entirely out-classed by the suits of the Misses Anderson and Holl- weg. The girls of the New Richmond team, who vulgarly appeared in regulation men’s football uniforms, were thoroughlv snubbed bv the beau - tifully dressed members of the Hudson squad. Another unique feature was introduced in the costumes. Instead of the meaningless number'- usually printed on men’s football sweaters each of our sturdy eleven h-'d her telephone number embroidered on her sweater. This was a great convenience to admiring rooters. The game was played to music, and each movement, unless dene in classic dance steps, was acclaimed a foul. The playing to music and b dance steps is believed to cultivate poise and grace in our wonzin football players. Miss Florence Burkhardt carried the ball down the •'eld and over the goal line by a series of “glaceaus”, a step in aesthetic dancing. In the dancing, however, the Orange and Black squad was very adept. One of their players succeeded, by a series of fairy-like pirouettes, in car- rying the ball almost to the goal line, but was intercepted, just before 'Brue IBlue reaching it, by Donna Young, who was traveling by means of the Russian ballet step, the Churxzka. Time was declared for Ruth Torpey, who had her outer layer of com- plexion rubbed olf. Miss Torpey in company with the rest of the players, spent the five “out” minutes to great advantage. A member of the bour- goesie, crudtely attempting humor, remarked at this time, that it would not be necessary to rechalk the field after the game. He was hissed off the field, and retired discomfitd. Amidst the yells of their grateful schoolmates, the team waltzed off the field, during the half, and indulged in lemonade and cake, to resusciate the amount of energy which they had expended. In the excitement of and after the game no one had Kept score or marked down the line-up, so these features will have to be omitted in this account of the epochal match. Our girls made a much better showing than did the visiting ceam, and critics predict, for the Hudson squad, a brilliant and successful season. —E. G. ’26.

It was a mystery to the newcomers, but later was readily explained by the Seniore” that apparently the Freshmen had honore of a “slight ducking” in the Honorable Water Tank. Sept. 8—As usual Gifford Nelson led the cheers in the Auditorium. I’m sure by this time he has proven his efficiency and that “Ye High School” will be kind of out of luck for one to perform for them with such jigs and dances on the stage next year. Sept. 12—Will yu ever forget the great laughter that was created in Auditorium when Mr Rock announced that the boys were required to take physical training and had to appear on the floor in “suits like the girls.” Sept. 14- -Our social season opened on Friday, Sept. 14, with the Teachers’ Reception, an informal affair, sponsored by the Seniors. Rog- er Defenbaugh, President of the Senior Class, gave the welcoming address which was followed by a musical program and refreshments. This is an annual event to welcome the teachers and bring about better co-operation between the teachers and parents. Sept. 21—School is in full swing by this time—almost—because a few, as “Kenny Stiles,” have not as yet become accustomed to the modest life of the High School student, in Hudson. Sab- heshmen t rue ‘Blue Sept. 28—The first High School party was given, it being a very in- formal affair, though all enjoyed a good' time. Oct. 14—Poor Kenneth, he is still in trouble. He doesn’t know whether to bring a clothes basket along with him to school or not, to carry his miscellaneous “Basket Ball”, or rather, “Gym” equipment, from class to class. Oct 23— This has been a month full of interesting events, but of course, none more important than our football games. Oct. 30—The day that has been looked forward to has at last arrived. Why? The grand march opened the most successful Hallowe’en party in the past years. The class stunts as usual were a great event, but this one was the closest contest of all. The Seniors won again for this is the second time in succession, being the only class in the High School who had won the cup in two successive years. Isn’t it alarming? Nov. 12—Better Speech week. What next? But then, it was a most enjoyable week because the English classes demonstrated their ex- traordinary abilities and for once we had a chance to rest our tongues. Nov. 13—A hoodoo all around!. The Seniors were introduced to a “Jolly Balance.” Nuff said. Nov. 21—Ain’t it a grand and glorious feeling when your Ma or Pa comes to school too? Many a timid student took many steps to get out of their way on that fatal night of Nov. 21. Nov. 23—Another informal party was given on this night. The in- creased number of dancers which appeared at this party showed that our school has acquired a pleasant amount of additional pep since the first party. Dec. 1—Twenty-one Shopping days until Christmas. Shop Early and Avoid' the Rush. Dec. 10—A few auditorium periods were held for the purpose of learning how to sing. Funny isn’t it we couldn’t sing at all last year ? Dec. 15—Red Cross Day. Every student in High school was expect- ed to buy ONE Christmas seal. Terrible, isn’t it? The school expects so much of you! Dec. 17—Domestic Science girls held a food sale. We starving ones have to feed out of school. But then generosity is what I call it, because the proceeds went for new equipment for the kitchen. Dec. 21—What an extraordinary Christmas program. The speech given by Rev. John Fisher was properly digested of course. The sweet, melodious voices of the Amquist sisters are always welcomed Oh yes, our Mr. Nyberg gave a most romantic speech which was followed by deaf- ening applause. Dec. 21—(Once more) 3:45. Time out for two whole weeks of vaca- tion. Dec. 26—The biggest social event of the holiday season was the alum- ni ball held on Dec. 26 in the gnmasium of Hudson Ti gh school. The decorations gave evidence of a holiday spirit. The Senior class of 1924 wore the guests of honor at this party. Much credit is due Miss Roe and Miss Lee for their work as everyone icpcrted a highly enjoyable time and it is hoped that the alumni will see fit to continue this annual Christmas party in place of the annual banquet. Jan. 7—Some alumni people will take an interest in seeing Hudlson tforue %Blue High again. We’d like lo see im.re. Jan. 15—The students in general sympathized with Miss Kreitzberg in her attempt to convince the Freshmen that she is the teacher taking Miss Herrig’s place. Within a few days they realized that it was not size that counted. Jan. 18—Wonders w;ii never cease. “Duke” Hughes manages to arrive in school the next morning after a dance. He says that “the morn- ing after the night before” is the hardest to survive. Jan. 22—Why so much interest all of a sudden in the typing room? Question is solved: Violet Barnhardt and Joe Olson are playing with the typewriters to the “National Emblem.” Jan. 25—Coffee and doughnuts were served in the D. S. at 3:45. For information concerning the taste of the feed inquire of Miss Roe. The longer you staid the more you got. She staid the limit and never went out for the count of ten once. Feb. 9—The commercial students competed with Stillwater. All ac- counts show they had a good time. At three o’clock Miss Heffron ad- vised them to make steps to the corner for the car. As it loomed in the distance the hasty group, under Miss Heffron’s worthy guidance, walked toward it and a look of amazement came across their faces as it rushed by. They were politely informed that the street cars could not stop on both sides of the street at once. “Peg” Lahiff says that “experience is the teacher of life” and so she with the others following moved to the other side of the street to wait fr the next car. Fb. 12—We were highly entertained, especially by the yuthful orator Charles Warner, who gave us an interpretation of Daniel Boone reciting the life of George Washington. Feb. 14—Well, at last the teachers have some sympathy for some of us. Why ? Because they are being instructed as to how to manipulate a Remington or Underwood typewriter. For work on drills inquire of Misses Tubbs, Hugunin, Roe and Anna Murphy? Feb. 26—Another assembly, what’s going to happen? That’s right, “Good English Week” a few allowances must be made. The English classes again displayed their extra ability by a play entitled “The Salvation of Jemmy Slang.” Some treat. Feb. 29—The last day of the shortest month in the year, but we got the longest assignment in History to be given—A Semester Topic—such groans and expressions on the History students’ faces, but then we all got the same thing, so we can all suffer together. March 4—The “Band Boys of Hudson” gave a concert in the auditor- ium. The proceeds went toward the Staff. March 7—The Stillwater typists experienced a most delightful time on their return trip to Hudson. They were escorted by two charming Hudson girls from the depot. There were also two girls at the Fourth street entrance waiting patiently for the arrival of the faculty. Service is what I call it. After the contest lunch was served. Wasn’t it wonder- ful, could be heard throughout the halls for the remainder of the after- noon. Assuming that you all know what the word “wonderful” covers I don’t feel obliged to describe it in detail. Although our typists didn’t have the honor of carrying off first place they scored even with Stillwater on points. 'forne 33lue March 14—District Tournament at River Falls. A few students and faculty showed some spirit and attended to see River Falls win in a fast game with Elmwoodi March 17—What Next? “Smoly Hoke, it's a wonder they don’t have you numbered and bars on the windows,” some Freshmen said. Wo- men seem to be as powerful as men but they don’t seem able to survive the “Survival of the Fittest Drive” at the foot of the stairs at noon; maybe that’s why they have three bells instead of two. JOE SHOOK’S ALL AMERICAN L. E. “Bob” Turner. L. T “Laurie” Williamson. L. G. “Duke” Hughes. C. “Rudy” Nelson. R. G.. “Hugh” Robbins. R. T. “Simp” Harback. R. E. “Bill” Coulter. Q. “Two-Bits” Flattum. L. H. “Bill” Splan (Captain). R. H. “Chick” Davies. F. Earl Robinson. G. M. “Kenny” Stiles. In selecting this team I have used the utmost carelessness, the best of the best being taken. In placing “Bob” Turner at left end! I considered his ability to grasp radio serials. If he can grab them he should be able to grab passes and therefore he is placed at end. Laurie Williamson’s ability to come from North Hudson on time in three minutes gives him his position. Fast men are too valuable to lose. I considered a long while between “Duke” and Arnie Ostby, but the former’s ability to kid the flappers places him. Anyway he lent me two- bits yesterday. Rudy Nelson’s great size gives him the center job. He is also brainy. Size and brains are what we want. Hoo Robbins is one of the greatest paper tossers in the game. Why waste time on others when we have him? Simp Harback at tackle with Robbins is a great combination. His wise jokes will paralyze the other team with laughter and when their mouths are open Hoo can poke their windpipes full of paper, and choka them to death, and then the team can win. Coulter’s ability at grabbing bundles places him at the other end. Two-Bits and his wonderful plays and signals places him at Quarter. Bill Splan is made tackle because of his open field running, (when someone is chasing him). He will play half. Davies at half back is an all-around man. He has long finger nails now as he is keeping his vow not to cut them until his team wins a game. This along w'ith his ability to fight will be a great help to the team. He will instill the fight in the outfit and give the spectators their money’s worth. Robinson at full-back completes the team. He has been slinging hash and dishes at one of our local restaurants, hence he should be able to . . v 'firue 'Blue sling men and footballs. He will be on the throwing end of our great passing system. Kenneth Stiles is selected as General Manager of this team. He will follow the team on its trips riding his mount “SPARK PLUG.” Kenneth is a product of the world renowned little Red Brick school for managers. Spark Plug eats old football shoes, so it will be unnecessary to carry oats on the trips. With such a manager this all star team should easily lose all its games. A KISS The Base Runner: To me it is stealing first, then second, then third -and then being coached (by Father) to steal home. Batter: It’s a neat bunt into a garden of tulips. Fielder: It depends upon a pretty fair catch. Shortstop: If it takes a bad bound, it may get you squarely on the nose. Pitcher: It is the one thing I could never strike out. Catcher: It is a grand-stand play. Umpire: It is a game that is never called on account of darkness. No one cares to listen to hard luck stories of the one vio has failed, but we all like to hear the failures of the man who has succeeded. Doll G. (soliciting): No use going there—its all dark. Partner: But old maids always sit in the dark. Doll G: Well, Earl Davies must be an old maid then—he just loves to sit in the dark. Harold Rabe comes to school on Monday. Feb. 20, with his face clean on one side. He had an accident Feb. 22, in which four boys, ranging from six to twelve years, washed his face with snow. He was at a loss as to what to do when one of our Junior girls gave him an undercut in the jaw that made him groggy. Harold went home with a clean face, but minus a few tears. “ OUR LITTLE FRESHIE” We lov 3 cur little Freshies, They try so hard to learn, They never will get roasted For they are too green to bum.

HE WAS WRONG “Good Morning,” said the demure maiden, entering the grocery store on the corner. “Do you keep oranges?” “No, miss,” replied the grocer. The girl started for the door and had almost reached it when the fa- cetious fellow called out, “We don’t keep ’em; we sell ’em.” But he didn’t sell her any, so he did keep them. Brilliant Orator, giving Patrick Henry’s Speech: “But, as for me, give me death.” Miss Newcomb (In English): “You must all have your rer.uing done by Friday.” Earl Davies: Ya, but can’t I read “Twenty Years After?” No one in Biology class knew what a prune was. Evidently there are a few in High school who don’t know themselves very well. K O’Rourke: Was Marlius 100 years old? Mrs. King: No, why? K. O’Rourke: Well, it says in the book that Marlius, the centurion, waged war. SOMETHING WRONG Just stop and think a moment And I’m sure you all will say That it’s apt to keep us hustling If each teacher we’d obey. “How long did you study your history?” Asks Mrs. Hartwig in accent clear. “One period ma’am.” “ ‘Twill never do; You wont get thru this year.” Geometry needs two periods Not a minute less will do. Civics need's two also And English Literature too. Now we have just seven periods To study and recite. Reciting six and studying nine— Have I got the number right? —A.

Mr. Rumpel (giving an assignment): Class take the next five prob- lems. I don’t think you can get them, but take them anyway. MissH: What’s wrong with this statement? My grandfather had a couple of horses and a half dozen cows. V. Trudell: Well, a couple usually refers to a man and a woman.

It may seem from this article as though preference is given to the class of 1923, but the staff wishes only to use said class as an example of the accomplishments of Hudson High School Alumni. It will be seen that this Annual contains, so far as records reveal, the names of each alumnus, arranged in order of classes. We on the staff feel that a new epoch in the publication of the TRUE BLUE has been created and the above mentioned' arrangement will place in the hands of every purchaser of this annual a complete list of Hudson High School Alumni. Special mention must needs be made of the class of 1923. Fate or- dained that it should be the largest class to be thus far graduated from the school It was surely to be illustrious in its accomplishments and as evi- dence of their faith in education a large per cent (approximately 40 per cent) of the sixty individuals are this year attending schools of higher education throughout the mid-western states. River Falls Normal School claims Cordelia Rasmussen, Georgia Slaus- on, John Sundstrom, Lilah Thoen, Lois Torpey, Florence Calctovell, Mar- garet Evans, Dorothy Gilbert, Lester Jacobson and Marie Lundy. Mil- waukee Downer claims Jean Bradford and Pauline Yoerg. Marie Ruem- mele attends Whitewater Normal school, while Courtney Schley has se- lected Lawrence College as the ruler of his destiny. Ruth Arnquist selected that beautiful place of learning at Madison, the University of Wisconsin. Robert E. Friend attends Marquette. Neal LeRoy Larson has already become recognized as an athlete at Ripon College. Florence E. Lundeen is taking a business course at Rasmussen Business College. Stillwater, Minnesota. Ruth Wright and Robert G. Varnum selected Hamline “U” as the place to spend their college years. Ames College in the state of Iowa calls to its doors Almira Shetland. Elvira Thoen is tak- ing work at Stout Institute in Menomonie. Norman Yoerg selected a fine college of rare equipment, Carleton College. Robert R.
