 £ 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 '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.

 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.
