SSQfc ■' 'sh -vs ' : : X ' Through the medium of the 1925 True Blue, it is hoped that the portrayal of the everyday activi- ties may establish traditions whic will guide, considerably, the spirit of the future students who will attend Hudson High. (S 3 We, the True Blue Staff of 1925, deem it appropriate to dedicate this issue to— HARRY ELMER RUMPEL who was a source of inspiration to the individual and classes, with whom he comes in contact, and who through his earnest efforts as teacher and friend, is worthy of Mr. Rumpel came to us from Merrill, Wisconsin, where he had been teacner of science for two years, lie attended Oshkosh Normal School after which he took his degree of Bachelor of Philosophy at Ripon College. While attending college, he engaged in var- ious activities, principally among these was the editing of the school annual. Since his arrival at Hudson High School he has continued his participation in numerous activities by coaching athletics and supervising literary organiza- tions. SCHOOL SPIRIT School Spirit. The two words mentioned may mean so much. The spirit of the school is a reflection of the spirit of its individuals. The school, as a whole, should be a reflection of the larger social unit, the community. What are the vital factors of a clean, wholesome, and constructive school spirit? A realization of our duty to the community, which has provided us with educational facilities, should lie always uppermost in our minds. T his duty con- sists of preparing ourselves, to the best of our ability, for the part that we shall have to take in life. We may best prepare for our part in life by developing industrious habits, a good moral sense, self control, a democratic attitude, good manners, thrift, loyalty, an ojien mind, and the ability to cooperate. The students of the Hudson High School do learn and have succeeded, to a great extent, in developing these qualities. The cooperation that has existed be- tween the students and teachers has been gratifying. herever we find Coopera- tion we are bound to find the other habits developing. An example of the degree of self control, that has been deveIoj ed in our school, may l e found by examining the school buildings shown on the opposite page. The high school building has; been occupied for six years, yet its condition is practically as good today as it was; the day it was opened. The Hudson students may well be proud of the buildings and equipment that have been provided by the community. May the young people continue to show their appreciation by developing the qualities that are necessary to become good citizens. THE TRUE BLUE True Blue, True Blue, Well I Guess, Zigaboo.

We have been leaders in all activities since we entered high school in 1921, a band cf green little freshmen, seventy strong. The first few weeks were very trying for us, however, we soon got our bearings, and since that time have proved our capacity for hearty cooperation. Hudson High School has supported no activities in which our class has not participated. Somee of the activities, in which our class has participated are: oratory, in which Theodore Howalt Ben McDiaimid and Edwin Johnson were the scho l’s repre- sentatives; declamato in which Katherine O’Rourke was cur sole hope; athletics of all kirds, our outstanding participants being: Foss, Ostby, Sdhottmuller, Jensch, O’ Keefe and Chryst. The girls also did their share in athletic contests when Ruth Tor- pey, Helen Heffron, Olive Lyksett were instrumental in bringing us the class basketball championship. Sam Jensch was editor of the 1925 Annual. In music also, we have been represented by Helen Solheim, Ruth Torpey, Celia Ryan, .Allan Covell ar.fl Lawrence Peterson. Agnes Miller, Jeanette Stayberg, Helga Staberjr. Helen Heffron and Celia Klein were indispensable to the Commercial Depart- ment in its ccntests. Yes, ,we feel that we have had a brilliant career. But we are no longer seventy strong. Our number has dwindled down to about fifty. We deeply regret the loss of two of our class mates by the hand of death, Frank Caldwell and Henry O’Keefe. Last year we lost several prominent members of our class. Margaret and Donald' Singer moved to Milwaukee, Harold Cummings to Bangor, Wis., and Marion Walker to Cal:f rnia. Sam Jensch has filled his position as president of our class with his usual ability and intelligence. For the past two years Miss Hannah Collim e has been our able class advisor. She has been very faithful and efficient in her work, and we take this opportunity to thank her for her untiring efforts in our behalf, and for her assistance in raising our class prestige. We feel that a great deal of our success is due to her hearty co peration. Our high school life is now drawing to a close, and we fe 1 a certain sense of pride in our achievements. We are all proud to admit that we are graduates of Hudson High School and members of the class of ’25. As we leave H d on High School, we feel a certair rarg of regret, and we feel that we will be greatly missed in the halls of dear old Hudson High. '25 1925 CLASS PROPHECY It is in the summer of 1935 and the scene is laid in Paris, that wonder city of the world. The whole city is agog over the charms of the latest idol of Paris, the famous “Oriental Dancer of Mystery , whom we recognize as none other than our old friend, Frances Hill. She has won international fame for her wonderful technique as an Oriental Dancer, and she has ardent suitors from all over the world ready to lay their hearts at her feet. She has in her service Misses Helen Solheim and Helga Staberg whom she rules with a high hand, much to their chagrin. One of her most ardent suitors is Dana Foss, who is notorious as an inter- national gambler and crook. He is infatuated with Frances, and although she is really in love with Joe Olson who is a waiter in the cafe where she dances, she decides that Dana may prove useful to her sometime, so she keeps him around. One evening when Frances is dancing at the cafe and Dana is in attendance as usual, a tall slim woman comes sweeping into the cafe, accompanied by a very handsome gentleman. Joe rushes forward to usher them to a table and recog- nizes his old school mates, Victoria Garrity and Lawrence Harback. Victoria is a professional model for “Chanel in Paris and Lawrence is a salesman for the new crocheted bath-tubs which promise to become very popular. Victoria is a former sweetheart of Dana’s, and having heard that he is en- amored by the dancer, she has determined to win him hack, by fair means or foul. Dana sees his old friend, and notices, of course, her gorgeous clothes and exquisite beauty. Being of a fickly nature, he crosses over to her table, and be- gins to make ardent love to her. Frances becomes enraged, and leaves the cafe determined to take revenge. As she is driving to her apartment, she sees a great commotion on one of the corners: whereupon, she orders her chauffeur, Allan Coveil, to stop the car. He does so, and they notice to their amusement that two of their classmates are holding the center of attraction. It is Celia Ryan and Helen Heffron shamelessly quarreling. Frances leaves the car, rushes over to the girls and separates them. She learns that Celia is still trying to cut Helen out with her old admirer, Lloyd Peterson. At that moment, Lloyd strolls by with Melba Nelson, a writer of scenarios for a large film company. When Helen and Celia see this they decide that no man is worth crying and quarreling over. They thank Frances for her trouble, and hurry away to join the Anti-Men League, of which Hilda Gunderson is president. Upon arriving home Frances finds her old pal, Ruth Torpey, the famous di- vorcee, who has just secured her fifth divorce, this from Joe Schottmuller, on the grounds that he ate crackers in bed. She is going to be married again, this time to Sam Jensch, a famous physician and surgeon in New York City, and she is in Par- is to purchase her trousseau. Frances is delighted to see Ruth and tells her all about her love affairs with Joe and Dana. Ruth, who was always more or less the mercenary type of girl, listens attentively, and promises Frances her assistance. In the course of their conversation, Frances learns from Ruth that her old chums, Thelma and Teanette Stayberg, are singing in the “Greenwich Follies. and that Malcolm Bush and Oscar Jahr have worn paths to their stage door. I he next time Frances goes to the cafe to dance Ruth accompanies her. Victoria is there again with Dana. One of the other performers at the cafe is Curtis Chryst, an expert tango dancer, who has recently graduated from Prof. Ben McDiarmid’s exclusive school of dancing. hen Ruth sees Curtis she decides to break her engagemnt with Sam and employ her feminine arts in vamping Curtis. Curtis, however, is madlv in love with Marion Stevens, a teacher of history in one of the exclusive girls’ schools outside of Paris. Frank O’Keefe teaches at the same school. He instructs the gills in the art of captivating male hearts. Frank is now happily married to Alma Mayer. As the evening wears on Frances becomes more enraged, and Dana becomes more and more devoted to Victoria. Just then Frances notices over at one of the tables a party which she recognizes as some of her old school triends. I hey are: Guy Alexander, now a strong advocate of the “Blue Laws; Esther Sternberg, his faithful little wife; Earl Peterson, a famous detective, known as the “Eye That Never Sleeps,” and Elois Bahpeman, a leading suffragette, noted all over the world for her stump speeches. Frances is delighted to see them, and obtains Earl’s promise to aid her in winning back Dana’s love. As she sits talking to the gay party they discuss their old friends of high school days. Frances learns that many changes have taken place since she left America. Gertrude Meissner has become quite a flapper. I ier folks are distressed, but Gertrude savs she never knew how much she was missing in her youth. 1 heodore Howalt, a rising young lawyer and Earl Davies, who is ojierating a new dance hall in Hudson. )ennie Golden too was mentioned as having put ujx n the market some new hair dyes. Rahleigh Dahl is in Hollywood, running a close second to Valentino. He has as his leading lady Alva Persons. Grace Benz, who was always ery capable along business lines, is his private secretary. Raleigh has employed Millard Anderson as his valet and Joseph See as his chauffeur. Peg Klein had a rather sad experience. She took up nursing, more for the handsome internes that she hoped to meet, than to help humanity. She met a handsome doctor and fell in love with him, only to learn that he was happily mar- ried to Helen Loughney. Utterly disgusted she joined Katherine O’Rourke do- ing mission work in China. Amid her new surroundings Peg soon forgot her troubles and created a great enthusiasm for her newly found work. I Olive Lyksett has become very successful as a writer. She has written several prominent novels of the day. Ward Cook, editor of the “New York Evening Sun,” has employed her to write editorials for his paper. Arthur .’right is comic artist for the same paper. Frank See is one of the leading chemists of the day. His discoveries and research work are the subject of universal admiration. William Coulter and Lawrence Peterson are his able assistants. Agnes Miller has achieved great fame of late. She was always one of Miss Linder’s speed typists, but recently she won the world’s typing record with a net of 250 words a minute. Kenneth Ostby is the wonder of the age. He ranks second only to Pader- ewski as a pianist. The whole world is captivated by the charms of his music. Elden Solsvig, a famous violinist, plays with Kenneth at all the leading social functions of New York City. Finally Frances decided to tell Earl about Dana and his gambling resorts. Just then a woman came rushing into the cafe, hurried to Dana and threw herse’f at his feet, begging him to come home for the sake of his family. It was Dana’s neglected wife. Victoria fainted. Frances turned to Joe with a sob in her voice and as he folded her to his manly breast, he said “All’s well that ends well.” Ruth hurried back to America to marry Sam before someone else beat her to him, and thus the members of the illustrious class of 1925 came into their own. —The Three Muses.

Signed: The Senior Class, 1925. JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY Our class has retained from its Freshman year most of its members, so that we still haye forty-five students. It is needless for us to portray ourselves in painful adjectives for we feel that our deeds typify our worth. We have, however, in our class considerable athletic material worthy of special mention. Emil Anderson, Gordon Robhins and Ol’af Jenson have proved adept football stars from their first attempts; likewise men who will be the main- stays of next year’s team. Among others, Henry Jenson, Anderson, Robbins Clark and Shefland. The Juniors are numerously represented in all possible school activities so that we have been a model for under classmen and future students. We feel that as the class of 1926, we have established an er.v:abic record which will be used examplarily hereafter. SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY The Sophomore Class of 1923 has about forty students. We regret that some of our class have moved to other cities, and others are making 1 ligh School in three and one-half years, but then we'rejoice in having gained several new students. e have good material for both a boys’ and girls' basket ball team, and we are anxious to see the outcome. Many Sophomores, also, went out for football. e have in our class a natural declaimer, Margaret Nelson, who won third place in the Declamatory contest last year when she was only a Freshman, but this vear will do much better. ( Our class ranks high in intelligence: for in the Christmas story contest, Alice Peterson carried off second place. There are also, other good composition writers and a great deal of intelligence shown among other lines. We feel sure that our class will long be remembered after our departure from the Hudson High School. E. H. E. ’27 FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY The Freshman Class of 1925 numbers about fifty-five students. Three of our classmates, who had been with us in the grades, are now going to school elsewhere. Our first day in High School may be described as “One of Life’s Darkest Moments.” Regardless of the knocks and insults thrown at us by the older classmen, we held our heads high and prepared to show them that their remarks were worthless. Many of our class have displayed the Freshmen school spirit by taking part in school activities such as: basket ball, foot ball, declamatory, debate, and glee club. We are very grateful to the older classmen for the good advice they have given us, and we wish to assure them that we will' do our part to make Hudson High School the best. L.

Naturally we have encountered many obstacles, hut these have been overcome bv persistent effort. As a consequence, we feel that the product of our efforts has duly compensated us for the endless routine of the work. We further believe that our standard of work has been on the same level with that of the average High School Staff. The work of the Staff was greatly augmented by the kind help of Katherine O’Rourke and Cecilia Klein. Our thanks are also extended to other contributors who have lessened our labors. In conclusion we would say, we have done our best. In giving your criticism kindly consider the factors with which we have had to contend. THE EDITOR. STUDENT COUNCIL President: Gordon Robbins. Vice President: Ann Marson. Secretary-Treasurer: Ruth Torpey. 1 he Student Council, which was organized a number of years ago, consists of the officers of organizations in school, including the basket ball captain, football captain, cheer leader, coach, and faculty advisers. The council represents the student body of the high school, and thus the fac- ulty is enabled to come into closer touch with the students. Mr. Rock, on some occasions, has brought to the attention of the members certain conditions in school and in this way received advice as to the best method of correction. The rule for the use of good English in classes was next brought before the council, which vot- ed that it should be enforced. The members, also, took a vote on candidates, which the faculty had recommended for positions on the Staff. B )YS' GLEE CLUB The Boy's Glee Club, made up of nine members, meets with their advisor, Miss Collinge, twice a week. Although they have not yet been given an opportun- ity to display their talent, it is reported that the club is of high calibre. The boys, also, are taking part in the operetta, “Love Pirates of Hawaii. They have been handicapped by the fact that their membership is small, but regardless of obstacles, are now making great headway. As the annual goes to press they, too, are planning a tour of this district. Few students realize the talent among these fellows, but which will be shown in the operetta. GIRLS GLUE CLUB President: Ruth Torpey. Secretary-Treasurer: Grace Benz. Under the efficient management of Miss Mary Ann Collinge, the Glee Club which meets every Monday, has progressed noticeably this year. Consisting of twenty-five girls, the club has proven to be one of the largest and best glee clubs in the history of Hudson High. During the month of March the girls and boys staged an attractive Operetta, “Love Pirates of Hawaii. Leading parts were taken by Cecelia Ryan, Ann Marson, Ronald Peterson, and Allen Covell. As the True Blue goes to press plans are in order for a tour of the country schools, at which time a program, consisting of numbers by both the glee club and individuals, will be given. It is expected that the Glee club will be called on any time to give some sort of an entertainment for an assembly. DELTA DELTA CLUE President: Elinor Gillen. Vice President:l Lura Ross. Secretary: Alta Jacobson. Treasurer: Jay Cross. The Delta Delta society is a Junior-Freshman organization. Its purpose is the familiarizing of its members with all the fine arts, literature in particular. In order to achieve this result, each member is required to take part in some pro- gram or entertainment which is staged by the club, either at its regular meetings or in its public programs. One program was put on in assembly. This program was in honor of fames ' hitcomb Riley, and its several numbers, talks, songs, and pianologues were either works of Riley or relating directly to him. Although this was its first year the Delta Delta Club has made great strides toward the carrying out of its aims and ideals, and it is hoped that the same oigan- ization of next year will carry on the fine example given by this year's club —E. A. G. ’26. HYPERION LITERARY CLUB President: Allen Coveil. Vice President: Sam Jenscli. Secretary-Treasurer: Prank O’Keefe. Among the most progressive and popular clubs in this High school, the Senior-Sophomore Literary Club stands foremost. It originated the past vear under the guidance of Miss Powers. As the name indicates, the club’s chief aim is to advance good English, and literature among its members. Meetings, which are held the first and third Mondays of every month, consist of short programs, including readings and musical numbers. An attractive Valentine party was given Feb. 14, at which thirty members and their partners were present. Features of the evening were tags, heart dances and refreshments. A sample program is as follows: “Life is not so short, but that there is always time enough for courtesy.” 1. Courtesy of young to old. 2. Courtesy of man to woman. 3. Courtesy at the dinner table. 4. Courtesy in public places. 5. Proper introduction. GIRLS' ATHLETIC CU B President: Olive Lyksett. Vice President: Helen Heffron. Secretary-Treasurer: Ruth Robbins. The Girls’ Athletic Club was first organized in the fall of 1922 under the leadership of Miss Roe, who until this year was advisor. The club consists of thirty-three girls, fifteen of whom joined in the fali of 1924. The old members concocted an original initiation to test the good sportsmanship of the candidates. This year, especially has the club lived up to its motto: “Develope your Push and your pull will take care of itself.” Though the name indicates that the club is purely athletic in character it has been seen that its endeavors reach into other activities of the school. These in- clude the selling of Christmas seals, foot ball tickets, entertainment tickets ,re fresh merits at school parties and eats for the players after games. The gym, Jan. 24, was the scene of a delightful party given by the club. e wish to extend our gratitude to Miss Blegan, who, during the past year, has been a pleasant and helpful advisor. TRUE'25 BLUE MISS OPHELIA’S CHRISTMAS The little town of Barry, Vermont, was experiencing a typical New England winter day. It was one of those cold biting days, when children delight in plow- ing through snowdrifts and filling the air with their merry shouts, and� when older folks prefer to stay indoors by the fire, perusing a favorite book or perhaps remin- iscing of their younger days. This particular day was the day before Christmas and Miss Ophelia Burton, spinster, sat by the fire in her cozy living room, embroidering a dainty piece of needlework, stopping now and then to stroke the hack of a gray Persian cat that lay curled up by her side. She was a small agile woman, perhaps fifty years old; her hair was white, hut she dressed it in such a becoming way that it greatly con- cealed her age. In her youth Miss Ophelia, as she was customarily called, had been popular and quite the belle of the town, but for some unknown reason she had remained singlle and she now lived by herself in the roomy, square house that her father had left her. Miss Ophelia had washed her luncheon dishes, set the kitchen in order and had taken a seat by the fire to enjoy the afternoon. For half an hour nothing could he heard but the ticking of the old-fashioned, grandfather’s clock, the purr of the cat and the howl of the wind as it whistled around the corner of the house. Miss Ophelia drew her shawl closer around her shoulders and remarked to the room at large that she certainly pitied anyone who ventured out in such weather. Another fifteen minutes parsed, and then she heard the sound of footsteps crunch- ing up the walk and the sharp ring of the bell. Miss Ophelia was noted for her hospitality and she greeted the two women, who were at the door, cordially and then, taking their wraps, she hustled out to the kitchen to make hot tea and set the table with her best tea set. Over the tea cups the three women gossiped, as women have the reputation for doing. Finally, after an hour’s chat, Mrs. Harrington, Miss Ophelia’s par- ticular friend said: “But we haven’t yet told you the real reason for our visit. We came to see you about little David Grayson. You know his mother died last month and he has no near relatives, except an, aunt who has a large flock of her own to support. He has been staying with Reverend Haskell, hut he has a large family himself and feels that he can’t afford to keep him longer. We come to you in our dilemma because you have a large house, plenty of money, and no one de- pendent on you. It seems to me. that you ought to be glad of the chance to help someone. Mrs. Harrington was frank and spoke in an abrupt manner: having delivered this little speech she closed her mouth abruptly and waited confidently for Miss Ophelia’s reply. And Miss Ophelia was quick-tempered. She gasped, then said decisively: “Because I have a large house and plenty of money is no reason why I should support every child who is left homeless. I will have nothing further to do with the case, Mrs. Harrington. Please consider the matter dropped, as far as I am concerned.” And her two visitors departed, disconcerted at the result of their mission. Miss Ophelia shrugged her shoulders after her guest had left and tried to dismiss the matter from her mind; but she could not help thinking of the comforts she enjoyed and the hardships David must suffer if nothing was done for him. All these thoughts and many others passed through Miss Ophelia’s mind as she dressed for church that evening. The thoughts staid with her as she locked the door and hid the key under the door-mat. ...........— TRITF 25 BLUE They were still there when she entered the church. She noticed that the children’s choir was in the loft that night. It was their first appearance at an evening service. She was just in time, for she had just seated herself when Reverend Haskell ajose and announced the first hymn. Miss Ophelia loved to sing, but somehow she didn’t enjoy it as well as she usually did. Something seemed wrong. She didn't seem able to sing with her usual' zest and enthusiasm and she was glad when the song ended and she could sit down again. Then the Reverend Haskell arose in the pulpit and said: “Now is the Christmas time of the year, the time when everyone should he happy, cheerful, forgiving, and generous; the time when those who have, should share with those who have not.” Then he read the familiar Christmas story, placing special emphasis on the verse, “Peace on earth, good-will toward men. Toward the close of the service one little boy in the choir rose and came for- ward. Miss Ophelia noticed with a start that it was David. His face was shin- ing, yet she seemed to see sadness there, too. He had a remarkable voice for a child of his age and she listened with a lump in her throat to the sweet .childish voice as it sang a simple, Christmas anthem. All during the song a struggle was going on in Miss Ophelia’s mind, but by the time the service was over she had made a decision. That night Miss Ophelia Burton’s home sheltered two happy people. David, j eacefully sleeping, lay snugly tucked in the bed in the best room and Miss Ophelia who was bustling about her kitchen. She was making candy and pop corn and was singing happily to herself. In the living room, over the fireplace hung a small black stocking. —OLIVE LYKSETT ’25 This story won first prize in the Christmas Story contest. The writer re- ceived a beautiful silver loving cup in recognition of her efforts. TRUE '25 BLUE THE HAUNTED CAVE Cantonville, one of those static little centers of civilization, nestled among the craggy hills of Kansas. I he townsmen, old-fashioned and unprogressive, were happy in the quiet, smooth flowing, everyday events of fife. Travelers invariably compared them to Old Rip Van himself. On old Silas Brown’s farm was a cave about which had centered many a wend tale • ■ 1 late. Silas Brown, himself. wa a queer old specimen of humanity. People called him a hermit as he shunned everyone and came to the village onlv when the need of the necessities of life brought him. The children, seeing the grizzly giant (a barber’s chair was something he had never occupied) hid behind anything available. The people were superstitious; thus they filled their child- ren’s minds with fear concerning the old man. A few of the older and bravest lx ys were the only ones that ventured near his place. “Johnnie, I just want you to keep away from that place. Mrs. Jacobs sai 1 that last night they heard the awfullest noise over by the old cave,” exclaimed Mrs. Martin, tying on her snbonnet. “Ah Gee, I don't believe all that stuff,” answered Johnnie, running out of the house. Gossip, when there was anything to gossip about, was one of the methods that Cantonville found entertainment in. Now they gossiped incessantly ah n.t old Silas Brown and his cave. Johnnie Martin’s two cousins, Harold and Patricia Louise Manning, from Chicago, were expected to visit the Martin home that summer, and their coming was an event looked forward to by all Cantonville. This village had very little connection with the outside world, so they knew none of the latest styles and expressions. The day of their coming was bright and sunny, but nearly everyone’s face was clouded. The night before Mr. Jacobs, upon going by the Brown farm, had heard the most blood-curdling yell and had seen a dim figure gliding about in the orchard near the cave. He had come home shaking like a leaf. Johnnie hitched old Nell to the buggy and went to the station to meet his cousins. When the train stopped, he saw a beautiful dark-eyed maiden and a bov just as handsome step upon the platform. Their clothing made Johnnie stare in amazement until he beard them enthusiastically greeting him. “I-I-got my-my buggy waiting here. M-Ma told me to hurry,” he stam- mered, blushing furiously as the girl gazed at him. “Gee, Patty Lou, we surely are going to get a kick out of this country life, aren’t we,” exclaimed Harold. On the way home Johnnie grew braver and told them about the cave. Har- old looked interested, but Patty Lou just stared at the boys. “Yup. we have been having some pretty exciting times ’round here,” finished Johnnie, “but I aint so scared, ’cause, you see, I don’t think there’s any such thing as ghosts.” On the way home Harold had been thinking; and that evening he said, “Patty Lou, let’s take a little walk.” After going a short distance, he said, “This is a one horse town, but it sure is interesting.” “Oh, I just love it,” exclaimed Patty Lou. “You know, I’ve been thinking about this mysterious cave, and I think that somebody is trying to put over a bluff,” he went on. I’m going to take Johnnie and go up there tonight to see what and who this ghost is.” TRUE'25 BLUE “Why, Harold, you surely wouldn’t do such a foolish thing as that, would you,” exclaimed Patty Lou, who had a deadly fear of anything anybody else feared. “I certainly am not going to let you.” “Oh. Patty Lou, cut that sissy stuff.” When Harold asked Johnnie, the latter looked frightened for a moment, but that soon passed. “Sure, I’ll go,” he said. That night they left the house silently and walked along the road until they came to Brown’s place. The orchard certainly was weird looking with the moon shining down upon it. Both boys felt rather “creepy” as they climbed over the fence and entered the orchard, but both had decided “to do or die.” Walking in the shadows of the trees they advanced toward the cave slowly and silently. Suddenly they heard a terrible blood-curdling shriek which made both boys grow as white as chalk and as stiff as the old apple trees near them. After the shriek, they saw a figure clad in a flourishing white gown emerge from the cave. Tt glided silently along toward the boys who were just recovering from the shock and preparing to flee. As they turned around, Harold saw the ghost stumble and fall. “Johnnie, that’s a human being. Let’s go back and see what his game is,” he whispered, incited to action by the fall. Johnnie nodded, but his eyes looked like two saucers. They went toward the ghost who was just getting up and trying to cover his face with his robe. How- ever, he was not so quick as the boys who running up, jumped upon him. Sud- denly as they held the struggling figure they heard that awful shriek. Both boys loosened their grasp hut did not free their prisoner. “Quick! Uncover his face,” yelled Harold. Johnnie did as ordered and to their amazement thev saw Silas Brown. His glassy large eyes told them that something was wrong. “Get out of my orchard. You’ve stolen enough of mv apples,” he shrieked in the same tone of voice that he had uttered his blood curdling yells. “Crazy,” was all Harold said. At first Silas struggled, hut finally he grew quieter and the boys started down the road leading their prisoner. Everyone in the village was in bed; so the boys had to pound on the sheriff's door a long time. W hen the boys told him the story he looked at Brown who seemed to he gazing at something that didn’t exist. He said nothing, nor did he resist when led to a cell. The next day he was examined and found to be insane. “ I he only conclusion I can draw for his actions,” said the sheriff, “is that he imagined his apples were being stolen; so he decided to frighten t!ie imaginary thieves.” All the honor was bestowed upon Johnnie, who had learned what excitement • really was, and 1 larol’d, who realized that anything he could do in Chicago would never reach the same level as the adventure he had in that “one horse town” Cantonville. —KTHEL FISHER ’27 TRUE ’25 BLUE THE HAIRPIN TRAIL A soft step on the crunching snow; a low startled ejaculation and a mut- tered oath were all that Detectives Crane and Smith could get from the aged housekeeper of the Stilwell Mansion, in the way of a clue as to the disappearance of the beautiful young heiress, Madeline Stilwell. For three hours the detectives had been busy searching the house, probing the abouts of. Miss Stilwell’s abductor. Ransom, it was believed, was the purpose of her disappearance, but her uncle, Madeline’s guardian, wealthy as he was, declared that all his wealth might not bring her back to him—hence the detectives. The names of Madeline’s mother and father, both prominent people of New York City, had been among the death list published after the sinking of the steam- er “Providence” when Madeline was four, and Richard Stevenson, her step brother was nine. For some reason, pertaining to Richard’s aunt, Madeline’s Uncle John Van Dyke woidd have nothing what-so-ever to do with the boy; and, consequently made Madeline so'le heiress of his wealthy estate. Two years later Richard had disappeared and nothing good had ever been heard about him. Seven years he had spent in Sing Sing, and at one time he had barely missed the rope. However, he had long since left the thoughts of his relatives, and no thought was given to any connection between him and his step-sister’s abduction. Carefully examining the rapidly melting snow outside the sun parlor Detect- ive Crane had made a hurried sketch of the imprints of a man’s foot and two small women’s feet, noting that the snow had been scuffed about in such a way as to prove that a little struggle had taken place. Nothing more was found, how ever, as the snow that had been unprotected by the shade of the house was entirely gone, leaving no trace of the direction taken by the missing girl. Everyone was puzzled. Notices had been sent throughout the country, large rewards were offered and her picture was posted everywhere. It was believed by th detectives that the best policy was to wait until a ransom was requested, then lie low and get their man. But this was impossible according ,to Mr. Van Dyke. He was worried concerning the safety of his niece and was very desirous of get- ting her back into the protection of his home. For two days now, and on into the thirdMhe detectives had carefully, expertly, looked into every detail of the mystery; had had hundreds of men abroad looking for the girl' and yet no clue of her was found. At the close of the third day a young man, dressed in hikers’s dorh.es strode up to the Stilwell Mansion, knocked and walked in. He came fa e to face with Mr. Van Dyke who sneered upon seeing him. “Oh-ho! Vou needn’t think, Richard Stevenson, that if Madeline isn’t found. I’ll make you my heir just be- cause you are the only relative left. What are you here for, anyway; I have no interest in you. Go.” “Now, don’t get riled up, Mr. Van Dyke; I have no intention of becoming your heir. I merely came to assist in the finding of my sister. I believe that I have a right to do that,” quietly answered Richard, although it was easy to see that there was no love lost between the two. With that Richard stalked from the house, walked into town and took a room at the hotel. Early the next morning found him scouting around the mansion, discussing matters with the detectives and eagerly hunting for clues. Just before sunset that evening, he came upon a small bone hairpin in the far TRUE'25 BLUE corner of the golf course, near the end of the estate. The pin was of a type not often seen, a dark blue, three pronged bone affair. Taking it in the house, Rich- ard asked the maid about it. She told him that it was from a box ot new ones purchased only the day before Madeline’s disappearance. This, indeed, was a clue! A dozen men or so, with Richard at the head, began scouring the ground near where the hairpin had been found. Oddly enough, it was Richard, who found the next hairpin. It was in a conspicuous enough place, but no one else had seemed able to find it. Starting off in the direction indicated by the second pin, the men continued hunting until one of them found a third. It was very evident then, that the girl was strewing her trail with hairpins. Eagerly then continued the hunting. But bv this time it was too dark to hunt for such a small object, so the search was postponed until the following day. The detectives were notified of the success and early the following morning the men resumed their work. It was not long before the girl’s supply of hairpins had evidently given out, hut a piece of r'oth, torn from her dress was found here and there. Up until noon they hunted, and at about twelve o’clock they came up- on a large cave, barely noticeable in the bank of a ravine, covered with dry fallen leaves and sheltered by hushes and brush. Upon entering the cave, they found Madeline lying on her back, hands and feet bound and mouth gagged. Leaping forward, Richard unbound her and brought her to her feet. She was pale and disheveled, hut otherwise all right. Safely at home she told her story. Having stepped outside the sun parlor that night in search of her dog, she had been seized from behind by someone, gagged, and carried off by main force. For some time she was carried in this way, until out of sight of the house; then she was put down and led, stumbling, through the dark. Her abductor, how- ever, was gentle with her and gave her every consideration. She could not tell what he looked like, for he wore a whole-face mask and such disreputable cloth- ing that it was hard to tell of what size or age he really was. She had been free in the cave all the time until two evenings before when he had bound her and left her alone. At the request of the detectives as to what made her think of strewing the track with hairpins, she told them that she had not done so, but when she reached the cave her captor had taken her hair down, “for comfort,” he had said. 1 his indeed was a mystery. The detectives dismissed everyone and sat down discussing it between themselves. The next thing they decided was to find the man, and the best way was to guard the cave for his return. Outside, in the snowy sunken garden, Mr. Van Dyke stood talking to to Richard. “I certainly apologize for the way I acted to you my lad. I see that I have misjudged you all the time. But to make up for all that has been done in the past, I want you to accept half of my property; divide it with Madeline. As you are of a wandering type, I can give you the half now in cash, if you prefer, rather than give it to you after my death. How does that suit you, boy?” ’’That’s mighty fine of you, Mr. Van Dyke. I’m surely much obliged. Thanks. I believe I would prefer the cash. I am on my way south, now; do you think it would be possible for you to have it ready for me by evening ? Overlooking the greediness of the latter remark, Mr. Van Dyke nodded. 1 hat evening they all hade Richard an affectionate farewell before he swung merrily on his way north with a large roll of hills in his wallet. Early the next morning, in the mail box, was found the following' note: “Mr. Van Dyke and Madeline: TRUE’2 5 BLUE I take great pleasure in telling you how I outwitted you. It was I who took Madeline away. It was I who carefully planted the hairpins, and it was I who received the praise and the dough for finding her. Ta! Ta! I’ll never see you again. Richard Stevenson.” BITS OF NATURE Rocky peaks arose on high, Wide arms outstretched to touch the sky. Where only the eagle made its home Upon the ice-bound ledge of stone. Along the walls so sheer and steep Led the wild trail of the mountain sheep While farther down the Jack Tar pines Were nearly hidden in clinging vines. The sun shone brightly on leafy trees Stirred by a breath of mountain breeze. Stealing the fragrance of summer flowers Peeking out from their grassy bowers. Sweetest bird-notes arose on the air Breaking the stillness everywhere. While on the bosom of the lake Were mirrored the shadows of hill and brake.

These were the words ringing in the ears of Marjorie Donellan as she stood at the head of her team in the door of the gymnasium, waiting to come out upon the floor. The room, packed to overflowing with high school students, was warm and dusty. A group of girls who had just entered, brushed glistening snow from their hare heads and laughed loudly. In the balconies, bright scarfs and sweaters were fearingly noticeable. A bevy of small boys crouched under the bleachers whisper- ing and plotting mischief. The yellow glare of the lights, the closeness of the place, and the clamor of many voices gave a feeling of tense expectancy. All this Marjorie felt rather than noticed, for her mind was elsewhere. A brief two hours before she had been ringing the hell of Professor Drew’s home. The professor, who was dean of men at the local college, owned one of the few spacious and aristocratic residences in Westboro. Here he spent the winter months, but in June each year he moved the small family of wife and daughter to their summer cottage situated in the country near one of-the beautiful lakes of the vicinity. To this place the professor always took a girl, usually a high school' senior, who was athletically inclined, to aid in the care of his twelve year old daugh- ter. The generous reward for the girl’s services was a year’s tuition at college Marjorie, who was eager to have the position, had gone to see Professor Drew She had put her question with palpitating heart, and Mr. Drew had deliberated be- fore answering. Then he said— “T understand that the Westboro girls’ basket hall team is to play the Water- ville girls tonight. And that you play center and are captain of your team? Let :r.c tel! you frankly—this noon today I got an application for this position from Eleanor Glenn of Waterville. She plays center on their team you know. The job should rightfully go to her as her application arrived first, but 1 would rather give it to one of our girls here in Westboro. I will make you a proposition: if Waterville wins to-.ighi, Eleanor gees to “Nest of the Lake- with us, and if our home team wins you go. The decision tests on this evenings game, Miss Center ’’ I’hcsc. words Mar,one repeated ro he:self time and time again on her v.iv t tin: gym dial night. Her determination was strong, vet it was coupled with a vague feeling of helplessness. Could her team win? The rest would do their best, of course, and so would she. When the whistle blew for the beginning of the game that night, Marjorie faced Eleanor with clenched teeth. Westboro would win! The game started with a clash and Waterville netted a basket in the first minute of play. Then poor Center’s heart sank. Two baskets in succession by a Westboro forward bright- ened the prospect, hut Marjorie scarcely dared to he optimistic. hen the fourth quarter began the score stood nine to nine. i’lnckv little Miss Donellan was as valiantly determined as ever, hut Eleanor Glenn was equally resolute. There was a sickening second of suspense when Marjorie shot at close range; the halt rolled slowly around the entire rim of the basket then fell—outside. With a triumphant shriek, Eleanor snatched the hail and moved to pass it down the floor to her forward. Marjorie saw that the forward was unguarded and gasped. Then the scream of the referee’s whistle broke the tensity ot the mo- ment . “Double dribble, one throw for Westboro,” came the call. As Marjorie took her place on the free throw line, the screaming crowds in the balcony were a shapeless blue before her eyes. The signal came and the hall left her hands. It looped gracefully through the air and settled easily through the net just as the timekeeper rang the final bell. Someone shouted above the roars of shrill ap- plause, “Westboro wins, 10 to 9!” —M. L. ’26. TRUE '25 BLUE THE KING’S OUTLAW Night, and the lengthening shadows are falling in the half light, half dark- ness that precedes the full glory of the hunter’s moon. How still, how ghostly, and uncanny is this time of the night in the tall, brown forest! Darker and darker still grows the night, until even the shadows are barely discernible in the inky blackness. 'I hen with a soft radiance the first rays of the moon break through the entangling branches, mingling the silver with the dark green of the leaves, flecking the ground below with a light and dark checkered car- pet. Some of the rays fall on the lake, rising and falling with the current, and, shimmering, they lie on the surface. In one of the open glades where the moon shines unhindered hy the leaves and branches of the trees, the delicate summer flowers show almost ethereal beauty against the dark background of their mossy beds. I hrough this fairy glen, a well-worn pathway leads down to the banks of the lake where all the wild inhabitants come to drink, and now gliding softly down the pathway is the majestic figure of a stag with his branching antlers, his sleek, supple body, as graceful as a woodland nymph; high and proud he holds his head as if he alone owned the trail upon which he treads. At the forest edge another shadowy figure is stealthily moving close to the beautiful stag; two glowing eyes shine brightly through the darkness; a long lythe body creeps into view; the snake-like tail moves back and forth from side to side and now but a few paces from the unsuspecting stag it crouches to spring; the spotted coat shines smooth and silky in the moonlight. Just as the huge body leaps through the air, the sharp report of a gun rends the stillness and with a blood curdling scream the angry cat falls to the earth, and with a cry more like the sob of a grieving child succumbs to the death bullet im- bedded in its bursting heart. The stag, frightened at the first sound of the gun. swerves from the path like a streak and vanishes into the thickly growing under- brush of the forest. As the last dying breath shakes the great frame, the bushes at the right of the trail part and a tall handsome man, dressed in the garb of a hunter and carry- ing a smoking gun in his hand, emerges from the edge of the forest, and coming close to the dead heast, strokes the velvety coat with his hand, ties a rope about the body, and starts up the path, drawing it after him. After walking a short distance, the man diverges from the well worn trail and winds his way in and out among the trees until he comes into a tiny clearing where the soft rays of the moon shine with a heavenly radiance, and where the gentle night breezes croon their sweetest lullabyes over a little log cabin tucked in among the vines which completely hide it from view. At the door of the cabin the hunter drops his burden and opening the door, wa’ks into a cozy room where a warm fire flickers on the hearth and traces weird shadows on the crude walls. In the farthest corner of the room stands a small table laden with books and papers, worn and yellow with age; opposite is a small stand upon which a tin wash basin and a galvanized water pail seem to stand in genial comradeship. One dark night, seven years previous to this, Old Rufus, a hermit, was somewhat startled by a timid knock on his cabin door, but, on throwing it open, he was more than surprised to see a young lad of seventeen, white of face and trembling in every limb, standing on his stone doorstep. At the hermit’s eager welcome the boy entered, but had barely crossed the room before he fell on the floor in a dead faint. For three anxious weeks the old hermit kept a vigilant watch over the boy who had lain unconscious in the cruel grip of the dreaded fever through all this long period, but at the end of this time the old man’s unremitting care was rewarded: the fever abated: the insane light of delirium left the eyes, and the lad, though still very wan and weak, was out of danger. A few davs later the wily old hermit, by guarded questions succeeded in piec- ing together the following story: The lad’s name was Kentley Larson, who through the treachery of a friend had shot and killed one of the kings prize deer that roamed at large through the forests of Ireland. Knowing that he would he hanged for this deed if ever he was caught, Kentley (led in fear far into the woods and after wandering about for three days and nights, he spied the lights of the hermit’s cabin. Being desperate for the want of food he had knocked in the hope of finding friends. Although Old Rufns well knew the fat ? of the one who dared to harbor in secret an outlaw, such as Kentley would now he styled in the courts of the king, he shut his eyes to his own danger and told the unhappy boy that as long as he cared to stay, the cabin with the surrounding greenwood should forever be his home. Three years later, kind Old Rufus left the cares and worries of this ungrateful world and gently and calmly answered the trumpet call of his fathers. Kentley, after washing his hands, that were stained with the life blood of the wild animal he had killed in the forest, sits down at the table, takes up a worn copy of the bible and begins to read, thus repeating an action that has become a habit affording him much pleasure and speeding the lonely hours of the long evening on golden wings. _ As his mind is centered on the printed page before him Kentley fads to catch the faint sounds of footsteps outside his door, hut at the first slight tap he jumps up. opens the door, and gazes straight into the calm grey eyes of a stranger covered with the dust of travel and drooping with fatigue. At Kentlev’s sincere greetings of welcome, the weary fellow enters and aftei refrshing himslf with a drink of water and a light absolution on hand- and face, the guest sits down to partake of the cold repast Kentley has provided for him. W hen the stranger finishes his meal, he deems it necessary to give some reason for his sudden appearance, so he relates the story of the long chase that had occurred that morning: of the accident to his horse that had caused him to delay and lose all trace of his companions who had ridden ahead with all speed to over- take their quarry; of how he had tramped the forest all day, becoming more hope- lesslv lost each moment, until he had spied the bright light streaming from the win- dow of the sheltered cabin in which he sought refuge for the night. Finishing this tale the stranger turned to his host and with grave politeness inquired his name. At the question Kentley’s face becomes suddenly white and drawn, but restraining his emotion he answers calmly: “My name is Kentley Larson.” The stranger's face flushes with red at the hold assertion and he asks in a stern voice: ‘“Do you know that there is a thousand pounds reward for you, dead or alive?” “No, I did not know that,” replies Kentley; “but tell me what is your name?” After a slight pause the stranger answered, in a low but distinct voice, “I am the King.” At the words Kentley stiffens in his chair and an expression of fear quickly followed hv one of resignation passes over his face. Bowing his head he says: “Ah, then the outlaw is found; 1 am at thy mercy! Oh King, do with me as thou willt!” “I shall' and for the rest of your life you are bound to serve me as my right hand man in the courts of Ireland.” A bewildered look crosses his face as he stammers in surprise, “But how is this, Your Majesty? I am an outlaw?” “Right you are, but you are my outlaw to do so with, as I will.” “Your mercy will be rewarded, my king, and right gladly will I serve thee.” 1 he golden sun climbs high on the horizon; its yellow rays put to rout the last linking shadows of the night, and awaking the sleeping forest to a new and bau- tiful dawn. Two tall figures wind their way through the underbrush side by side. Keentley Larson walks beside his king; he is going back to the home of his child- hood, leaving, hut not forever, the place of his exile. Some day he will return to the spot where Old Rufus gave him a home. PERPLEXED Our English teacher is so cruel, She makes me feel a perfect fool. She makes us pen both verse and prose And ofttimes sonnets to a rose. I rack my brains and weep with care, I rant and rave and tear my hair. I do not seek the Hall of Fame, Or try to get a mighty name. Nor am I lovelorn and alone, For have I not my sweetest Joan? And all I need is just plain prose. Then why a sonnet to a rose ? By GRACE BENZ. NIGHTMARE Heartless teachers all remind us We must get our lessons fine Lest card-marking time should find us Sadly on the flunking line. —By ELINOR GILLEN TRITE’25 BLUE MINOR ACTIVITIES Our school debate team met the New Richmond and Glenwood City teams in very interesting and close contests. The question was : Resolved: That capital punishment should he abolished throughout the United States. The squad coached by Mr. Yeo consists of: Margaret Nelson, William Coulter, Edward Boody, Malcolm Bush, Ben McDiarmid, Margaret Hellweg, Allen Coveil, Marjorie Hughes, Theodore Howal't, Olive Lyksett, and Lawrence Peterson. This is the first year that Hudson was plunged headlong into debate work. During the winter, Mr. Yeo formed a debate club which meets every week, some- times twice a week. Although the club is not an organized affair, it is accomplish- ing some real work ; each individual putting forth his best efforts to make a suc- cess of debate this year. Next year we hope that Hudson will make a better showing, as it is evident that this year’s experienced material will be an asset. The Boys’ Club, whose purpose is to back Oratory and Debate, has represent- atives in each. In addition to athletic organizations and other activities, declamation and oratory are of vast importance. We must neither sacrifice nor neglect the train- ing of our voices, and our ability to deliver orations, for the developing) of our brain and muscle. High schools are sometimes tempted to overlook this point; everyone turns out for a good basketball or football game, but when our speaking contests are held, only a handful of students appears. Let’s try to overcome this fault by giving our aid and support to high school forensics. Last year Hudson was represented in Oratory at the League Contest by Ed- win Johnson and Theodore Howalt. This year, though work is beginning rather late, we hope to have a good representation. Among those going out for Oratory this year are Theodore Howalt, William Coulter, Frank O’Keefe and Ben McDiarmid. The girls, by no means, are outdone by the boys. They have always turned out for declamatory. Among the entries in the contest are: Katherine O’ Rourke.MarjorieHughes, Margaret Hellweg, Zilda Audette, Aileen Fitzgerald, Louise Harding, Hilda Gunderson, Alva Persons, Fern Gridley, Margaret Nelson, Jennie Golden, Evelyn Peterson and Helen Loughney. These people are being coached by Mrs. King, Miss Powers and Mr. Yeo. Violet Young put Hudson on the map last year by her good work at the district contest. Great accomplishments are expected from the Oratory, Declamatory and Debate teams this year. As the annual' goes to press plans are in order for a debate with Stillwater. The affirmative teams of each school will travel. TRUE 25BLU] REVIEW OF FOOTBALL SEASON The Football sun shone brightly on the Hudson field at the beginning of the school year of 1924-25. Prospects were indeed bright. With five Letter men back from the twenty-three (23) eleven, things looked as if the season ought to be successful. Practice started the first day of school in earnest. About thirty men report- ed for practice, eager to win a position on the team. This number of candidates soon decreased until we had only the following who staid out the entire season: Captain Chryst, Shetland, Coulter, M. Anderson, Jensen, Alexander, McMaster, Ostby, Linder, E. Anderson, Foss, Emil Anderson, Beaudry, O’Keefe, Lee Mickalson and Schottmuller, who was ours for the last three weeks. Of this squad, seven will be lost through graduation. The season started in great style, playing Humboldt to a scoreless tie, then losing to the strong Stillwater team. The team then made good use of the knowl- edge they had received in the Stillwater game and came back and defeated Cretin 3-0. The team then suffered the loss of Arthur Wright, star halfback, on account of the five year law. Then misfortune hit us again when Gordon Robbins, an- other halback, broke his ankle in practice. By this time the first six weeks was over land we lost through ineligibility, Leonard Loucks and Ronald Kottke. This left the team in a very unfavorable condition. Due to the fact that all of these men were lost out of the backfield, men had to be taken out of the line to take their places, this weakened the whole team. We then finished the season in a haphazard manner. Next year, with seven men hack to form the nucleus of the eleven we expect to do big things and put Hudson back on the map in football. M. C. SEIMS. SPORTSMANSHIP For years Hudson has been credited with the honor of being one of the fore- most high schools in Wisconsin, which takes pride in advancing sportsmanship in Athletics above Victory. A successful team in athletics is not one which wins its games by unsportsmanlike deeds; but is the team which wins its games by hon- esty, and loses its games with honor. Hudson has lived up to the motto of ‘Sportsmanship befoje Victory,” and as students of Hudson High School, we sincerely believe in this creed. HUDSON AND HUMBOLDT PLAY SCORELESS TIE The Blue and White opened the gridiron season with a scoreless tie with Htunholdt High of St. Paul. Both teams entered the contest with only a short period of practice, and con- sidering the time of training they displayed a good brand of football. The first half was an exchange of punts and neither team threatened to score. Humboldt was unable to break through Hudson’s line or dash around their ends. In the second half, the Blue came back with the determination to win, and time after time worked the ball near the goal, only to be held for downs. Hum- boldt worked the ball to the ten yard line, but an intercepted pass by Emil Ander- son checked the advance. After a series of successful line smashes and long runs the ball was carried to the ten yard line. Wright carried the ball to the one yard line; a fumble on the next play prevented Hudson from scoring. Humboldt re- covered the ball and was forced to kick from behind the goal. TRTTF’25 blue _________________________________ HUDSON LOSES TO STILLWATER Hudson received its first setback from Stillwater, by a score of 40 to 0. Hudson received the kick-off and fumbled on the first down, this Stillwater recovered and with the effort of a few plays scored their first tuochdown in the first two minutes of play. The Blue and White came back strong in the second quarter and held the Black and Red to a scoreless block. Hudson marched down the field with the aid of long end runs and passes by Linder. In the second half Stillwater with its army of substitutes proved too much for Hudson to handle. An entire new line started the second half and one half- back. This resulted in a number of touchdowns, On a freak play, Hall, the Red’s fullback gained 45 yards for a touchdown. A recovered fumble again re- sulted in a touchdown. In the fourth quarter Hudson again held Stillwater to a scoreless block, and in this quarter prospects for a successful season were shown. Every man on the team worked, regardless of the overwhelming score that was against him. HUDSON DEFEATS CRETIN Sept. 4 Hudson defeated Cretin 3 to 0. Cretin missed its opportunity to break even with Hudson. The Blue and White opened the game with a surprise attack; one of the halfbacks carried the ball’ through Cretin’s line for a 45 yard gain. After a series of line smashes and long end runs by Anderson and Linder the ball was worked to the five yard line. Here Cretin held Hudson for downs. Cretin was unable to make any impression on the Blue’s’ defence, but Hudson ripped Cretin’s line to shreds, but was unable to score. Emil Anderson intercepted a forward pass and returned the ball to the 35 yard line. Hudson advanced the ball, but was held for downs, and was forced to kick. Here Wright easily dropped. The second period was an exchange of punts: twice during this period Cretin threatened to score, but only to be outplayed by Hudson. Cretin tried to drop-kick, but failed. Captain Chryst was in every play and due to his work Cretin was unable to make any gains through the center of the Blue and White’s line. Again Cretin tried to drop kick but only to be blocked by Chryst. Each man on the team worked and strained every nerve and muscle in his body to lead his team into victory. MENOMONIE DEFEATS HUDSON Menomonie defeated Hudson 39 to 6 in a hard fought battle on the local gridiron. The Blue and White were victorious in the first period by a score of 6 to 0. Hudson’s line could not be broken. Menomonie failed to complete a pass a,nd time after time was forced to kick. Twice Hudson worked the ball within scoring distance but was forced to kick. Linder ran around right end for 35 yards and opened a new unstoppable spirit which resulted in a touchdown after a series of line smashes and long end runs by Anderson, Kottke and Linder. Foss carried the ball over the first touchdown of the season and scored the only points of the period. The second half started with the same spirit, but E. Anderson fullback was injured and was forced to leave the field. This checked 1 ludson’s advance. Mc- Master was taken from end to replace left half back and this weakened the line considerably. Menomonie grasped this opportunity and time after time worked trick plays which resulted in a score of 39 to 6. NEW RICHMOND DEFEATS HUDSON Saturday, Nov. 7, New Richmond defeated Hudson 6 to 0. Three inches of snow made it impossible for the Blue and White to use her style of play. I he first half the hall was played in the middle of the field. The Orange and Black failed to make their necessary gains. During this period New Richmond made one first down and failed to complete any of their forward passes; while Hudson made seven first downs and completed two passes. Near the end of this period one of New Richmond’s half backs went sixty-four yards for a touch down on a freak play over our end. In the second half New Richmond was still unable to make their gains and complete many passes. I ludson made eight first downs and completed four passes out of six. Orange found our line to he a stone wall. They made most of their gains punting. Albert Linder intercepted a pass on the fifty yard line and carried the ball to the twenty yard line. First down, four line smashes and the ball was on the ten yard line. Time was called. CAPTAIN CHRYST “Gridiron was without question one of the best centers ever representing I ludson High in football. Few gains were made through his position; and at pass- ing the ball he ranked far above the average. Chryst was especially noted for his defensive work; this he showed in the Cretin game when they failed to make their gains or complete their kicks. He will be a loss by graduation. GUY ALEXANDER “Guy” at left tackle held as if he were the Rock of Gibralter. In the Still- water game, Guy did not allow one gain through his territory, and time after time, broke up their plays before they reached the line of scrimmage. He was called hack frcm the line to do most of the kicking and was also used on many of the fake plays. He, also, will not be l ack in the squad during 1925 season. EMIL ANDERSON “Chum,” at full-back was unstoppable. When called to make the needed gains for downs, he never failed. His return for 25’s squad along with Mc- Master and Linder should form a strong and effective trio. Chum backed the line on every play and never failed to block passes in his territory. This was especially shown in the Cretin game when he intercepted a pass and carried the 1 all into scoring distance for Hudson. MILLARD ANDERSON “Mil,” at tackle and at guard could not be stopped. This was shown in the River Falls game when at guard he broke up every play tried through the center of the line. Mil was an all around line man, and his work at end was considerably strong. He also will not be back for 1925 season. “Bill,” as left guard was one of the main points on the line. His work with Jenson and Chrvst was in harmony, few gains were made through their territory. Bill played in most of the games and his work was considered among the best. Bill graduates with the class of ’25 and will not be back for football. DANA FOSS “Fuzzy,” at quarter, showed good work in selecting his plays. When not at quarter he played right half.- At quarter in the Cretin game he showed his ability at calling signals. He showed this by calling three straight line plung- es when nothing could be made through the line. He kept the ball in front of TRITE 25 BLUE the goal in order to drop kick, which was completed and time was called. Fuzzy also graduates. OLAFJENSON “Ole” was noted for his defensive play. He showed up especially well in the Stillwater and Menomonie games. Play after play, that tried to break through his territory, was stopped and few gains were made. A great responsi- bility rests on his shoulders, he one of the few veterans that will l e back for the 1925 squad. ALBERT LINDER “Al!” His long end runs and his passing won him fame. A1 kept his op- ponents guessing; his ability to pass, run or kick was to his teams advantage. His return this coming season will be a great help to the back-field. Linder’s passing in the Humboldt game was spectacular. STEWART McMASTER “Mic,” when not at left end, played half-back. He was noted for his abil- ity to catch passes; many needed gains resulted through his splendid work. Mic in the back field with Linder will cast considerable light iqx n the team for 1925’s season. KENNETH OSTBY “Arnie,” at right end was a deadly weapon. Stillwater the hardest game of the season; he allowed very few gains through his territory. Menomonie could not complete an end run; Ostby met all on or behind the line, and they failed. Ostby will not be back for 1925’s season. JUEL SHEFLAND “Firpo,” as right guard could not be stopped; this was shown in the Hum- boldt and River Falls games. Few attempts were made to rush his position. When called upon for interference, he would open a path successfully. His return wifi have great effect on the line, as only two letter men will resume their positions this coming season. BASKET BALL The basket hall practice started later than usual this year, because of our being unable to use the gym. A large number reported the first night and the squad had to he cut down to about fifteen who remained out for the rest of the season. The following boys made up the basket ball squad: Captain Ander- son. Robbins, Schottmuller, Foss, McMaster, Jensen, Ostby, Jensch, Shefland, Coulter, Alexander, Kottke, O’Keefe, Harback, and Wright. All but four arc lost this year through graduation. Taking everything into consideration the basket ball season was successful. In the first place, we won a good share of our games and lost only to real strong teams. We also had some of the players on the honor roll which goes to show that they were students as well as basket hall players. The greatest game of the season was played at the tournament against Me- nomonie. The team showed a great deal of defensive ability and played heads up basket ball in this game which ended in a 7-7 tie. However, in the five min- ute overtime we lost 11-9. This ended the basket ball season. Now we are looking forward to next year when we hope to develope into a stronger team and bring home more victories for the Blue and White. —M. C. SEIMS. TRUE'25 BLUE MENOMONIE 28—HUDSON 4 Menomonie defeated Hudson 28 to 4 in the first game of the season. Menomonie opened the game with two long shots. Hudson’s defence was strong and was a handicap to the Menomonie players. They continued their long shots and Hudson was unable to break through Menomonie’s five men de- fensive play. The first half ended with a score of 11 to 1 in our opponent’s favor. In the second_half Menomonie again played their long shots, and finally managed to make use of a few breaks of the game and scored three field goals on short shots. Jenson in the last five minutes of play scored the team’s only field goal. Hudson traveled to Menomonie with only four days of practice behind them and considering this, and that of being on a strange floor, they were not al- together outclassed. RIVER FALLS DEFEATS HUDSON River Falls defeated Hudson by a score of 27 to 20 in the local’s second game of the season. The first half was close with little chance of either team taking the lead. Hudson led by two points at the end of the first quarter, but River Falls regained itself by making two long field goals. At the end of the first half, River Falls led by two points, making the score 13 to 11. Again in the second half neither team seemed able to break through the oj - posing defence. Long shots were the result of all these efforts. Standish scored five field goals thus bringing River Falls into the lead.. Hudson came back strong, but was handicapped bv lack of time and thus lost to a score of 27 to 20. HUDSON VICTORIOUS OVER NEW RICHMOND New Richmond was defeated by a score of 15-12 on our floor in one of the most important games of the season. Robbins, Jenson, Foss, Ostby, Anderson and Schottmuller proved too much for the Irish to handle. The teams were evenly matched and the defence which starred in holding the “Orange and the Black” from scoring was the remarkable feature of the game. Captain Anderson and Schottmuller, as guards, were suc- cessful in keeping New Richmond from making a basket. The first half ended in a tie with the score 9 and 9. In the second half of the game New Richmond was again helpless. Berg- sing scored three points which brought the opposing side to the lead, but they were unable to stop the “Blue and White” from scoring. Robbins made one point and Foss decided the VICTORY by two field goals and a free throw. AT ELMWOOD Hudson lost to Elmwood at Elmwood by a score of 18 to 13. Hudson traveled to Elmwood but was denied the victory. The first half of the game was played in favor of the opposing team. Hudson was unable to break through the strong defence which Elmwood put in their path and the end of the first half found the score 6 to 1 in their favor. Hudson came back strong, but was unable to gain the lead. At the end of the third quarter Elmwood turned to long shots which resulted in a number of baskets. Schotmuller, Ostby and Foss worked the ball down and scored, but we TRUE'2 5 BLUE were to far behind and the Elmwood team too strong to overcome in the last few minutes of the game. HUDSON VICTORIOUS OVER GLENWOOD CITY Hudson defeated Glenwood City 17 to 12. Captain Anderson opened the game with a long fiel'd goal. In the first half of the game Hudson was victorious in holding Glenwood City until the last minutes of the first half when they scored with two long shots, which tied with a score of 8 and 8. In the second half our boys worked the ball through Glenwood City’s de- fence and scored three goals which brought Hudson far in the lead. Near the end of the game Glenwood came back with two goals but was unable to tie with Hudson. MENOMONIE 27—HUDSON 17 Menomonie defeated Hudson the second time this season. Hudson led Menomonie during the first period. Menomonie was unable to break up our floor work, and unable to break through our defence. The score at the end of the first half was 11 to 4 in Hudson’s favor. The second half opened with new spirit. Menomonie scored almost at will. They turned to long shots which resulted in a 27 to 17 defeat for Hudson. HUDSON LOSES TO NEW RICHMOND Hudson was denied this victory by a score of 25 to 12. The game was slow and the defence of both teams was perfect. Long shots were the result of this and New Richmond took the lead, 14 to 4 at the end of the first half. In the second half Hudson was still unable to break-through New Rich- mond’s defence. Long field goals brought Hudson within a few points of New Richmond, but Kidder and Bergseng again gave their team the lead by a large margin. HUDSON DEFEATS CLEAR LAKE Hudson defeated Clear Lake in the last five minutes of play. Clear Lake scored in the first minute of the game by a long shot and a free throw, but Hudson moved its defence up and stopped the long shots. Foss broke through and scored thereby making the score, at the end of the first half, one point in Clear Lake’s favor. The second half was slow with neither team strong enough to break through the opposer’s defence. After five minutes of active playing Clear Lake again led by one point, 4-3. Robbins scored field goal bringing Hudson to the lead. Anderson and Jenson scored two points each for Hudson and with the free throws we won by four points. ELMWOOD DEFEATS HUDSON 24-13 Elmwood scored two long goals in the first few minutes of the game. They were unable to upset Hudson’s defence. Anderson and Robbins proved too much for them. Again Elmwood scored by long shots which brought them well in the lead. Hudson came back strong in the second half, but were unable to overcome the large score against them. Foss, Robbins and Jenson scored, thus bringing Hudson within a few points of the opposing team. Bucholtz scored four long field goals which again gave Elmwood the lead, which Hudson was unable to overcome. HUDSON WINS OVER PRESCOTT Hudson defeated Prescott 25 to 17 in one of the fastest games of the season, Prescott found themselves practically helpless when playing against Hud- son’s five man defence. Anderson and Robbins, our star guards, prevented Prescott from scoring. Hudson led through the first half hy seven points. In the second half Prescott again met their handicap. They resorted to long shots, but failed due to Hudson’s advance defence. Foss and Jenson put Hudson far in the lead in the second half by scoring fourteen points. RIVER FALLS DEFEAT I S HUDSON 33-15 The last game of the season was played in the River Falls gym, where Hud- son was handicapped by the low ceiling. Throughout the first quarter the game was fairly close, ending 4-3 in favor of Hudson. The halls defence began to function, took our guards by surprise and quickly ran up the total. Inasmuch as the Falls later took the district tournament we feel that our team did exceedingly well against the group of players who have been working together for four or five vears. THE DISTRICT TOURNAMENT Hudson this vear accepted the invitation to enter the district basket hall tournament at the River Falls Normal school. In the first game Hudson was paired with Glenwood City, whose team was defeated in a slow, uninteresting- game by a score of 22-15. The following night it fell to the lot of the Hudson team to play Elmwood. The boys from the corn center, who had in their first game beaten the highly touted Menomonie team 16-15, upset our aspirations through their ability to drop in shots from any angle. The final score of this game was 36-12. This game put Hudson out of the running for the first place and we next played Ellsworth, whom we handily defeated 22-15. This called for the playing of Menomonie in the evening for third place. The game ended at the regular time with the score 7-7. In the overtime period our boys showed signs of weariness from the strenuous playing of two games in one day. Two long shots by Menomonie counted and we were defeated 11-7. In this game Foss was hurt in a collision with Gray, star of the Menomonie team. The rating received by Hudson augurs well for future years, and made the participation in the tourn- ment a success. The rating was well deserved, for Hudson played little basket hall during the season which resembled the fine brand displayed during the tour- nament play. TRUE '25 BLUE ' GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Although short the Girls’ Basket Ball season for 1925 may be considered a success. The team played two important games, one with Stillwater and the other with New Richmond. Stillwater was victorious, winning by a score of 14 to 5. Good team work was hown by the home team, and they strengthened their weak points and made ready for the next game with New Richmond. In this game, Hudson found an easy victory with a score of 16 to 8. Great was the rejoicing of the whole high school. In Miss Blegan the girls found a worthwhile coach, who made the most of her material. Twice a week basket ball practice was held and she drilled every play and maneuver into each person. As a result she put out a team worth while. The first team consisted of Ann Marson, center and captain, Olive Lyksett and Imogene Miller, forwards, and Helen Heffron and Ruth Robbins, guards. In Ann Marson the team found one of the fastest and best centers ever on the Hudson team. Her ability to do fast thinking served the team many times. Olive Lyksett and Imogene Miller merited their positions as forwards. Their sure shooting and dodging of guards gave Hudson a winning chance. Helen Heffron and Ruth Robbins are to be credited with their steady work as guards. They intercepted many of the opponents’ plays by their close guarding. As substitutes. Ruth Torpey, Marie Mulvaney and Margaret Muckenhirn did their share in helping out the team. The loss of Olive Lyksett, Helen Heffron and Ruth Torpey, Seniors, will be a serious blow to next year’s team, but even so they are looking forward with confidence to the season of 1926. INTER-CLASS BASKET BALL TOURNAMENT One fine afternoon in March the boys’ basket ball tournament was started. In the first, game of the day the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen by a score of 14 to 8. Kottke led the team to victory with five goals, but every Freshman played wilh his utmost power until the final whistle was blown. The Seniors deprived the Juniors of victory in the second game of the day by a score of 20 and 14. The last few minutes of the game was fought by the second squad of the Senior team. With Jenson, Linder and Shefland the Juniors expected to walk away with this game. In the third great battle of the tournament the Freshmen clashed with the Juniors. The Freshmen seemed the victors in the first part of the game with a score of 5 to 4, but both teams fought to the finish, and with the aid of Jacobson and Jenson the Juniors brought on defeat for the Freshmen with a closing score of 16 and 8. _ R 1 The Sophomores fell before the savage onslaught of the Seniors by a score of 24 to 11. The first half of the game was in favor of the Seniors with every man at his best. The Sophomores were unable to pass Coulter and Jenson who had also made the Juniors a helpless squad. In the last quarter the reserve force was used, but the Sophs were too far behind to win the game. The Freshmen were next beaten by a score of 28 to 8. The first half of the game was slow but very exciting. At the end of the first half the Seniors led bv a small majority of two points, but the second half changed and the Seniors left the Freshmen far behind. The Seniors having defeated all other class teams were awarded the championship for 1925 inter-class basket ball. The Juniors and the Sophomores battled for the second pl'ace in the basket ball tournament. The Juniors took the lead in the first half of trie game and continued so throughout. The Sophomores were unable to keep up to the pace set by Jenson who scored ten points in the first half to the Sophomores’ three. The second half found the final score 16 to 5. This game gave the Juniors second place and the Sophomores third. SENIOR FACULTY The faculty defeated the Seniors by a score of twenty-seven to thirteen. During the first half the score was close and neither team could take the lead,, the first half ending with a 11 to 11 score. The tide turned when the faculty found the secret of the Seniors’ defence and scored continuously. Every man on the floor fought every minute of the game.

Monday, Nov. 10: Our two thriving Literary Clubs put on programs today for Good Book week. Not so worse (we’ve got out of a class period anyway.) Wednesday, Nov. 12: The junior High School of H. H.

Mr. Yeo played the piano. A double-headed red letter day (is it a red-headed double letter day?) We didn’t get all excited over the “sign of two bells” for nothing. Some cello solos and pianologues and both A 1 performances. Wednesday, Nov. 26: No school for four short days starting tomorrow, and nothing to do but eat—Luck is with us—occasionally. Wednesday, Dec. 3: Senior pictures finally have “came” at last. (The author hereof is per- mitted such little breaches of grammar, But youze aint.) Much collecting of “zooz” and “menageries” going on now. Brown Studio certainly earned their money on some of the pictures, as you may learn by comparing some of the originals with their daguerrotypes, (I learned that one in a Cross-Word puzzle). Friday, Dec. 5: Next week begins that horror which is lightly called by our faculty a “Better English Campaign.” Maybe we’ll talk better, but it’s a sure thing that H. H.

Friday, Jan. 30: Glenwood City traveled up here to be defeated by our five huskies. Oh, we’re there, all rightie! Tuesday, Feb. 3: Return game with Menomonie here tonight. Our fellows put up a fine fight, but we are too little. No man over seven feet tall should be allowed to play basket ball, what I mean—And that would put two of Menomonie’s stars out of the running. Grow up, team! Thursday, Feb. 5: Junior class rings selected. Now the days of anxious waiting until they come and we find that our initials have been oddly changed and that the rings “ain’t what they seemed to be.” Oh, girls, this is too terrible.

The Elmwood guard who played opposite our blonde forward last Friday, tells that Dana petrified him all through the game with the terrible insults he was throwing around. We noticed the pecuiar blue lights all around Foss’s end of the floor. Naughty, naughty Fuzz. Mustn’t lose your temper. Friday, Feb. 27: Prescott here with the boys and N. R. played the girl's team.

Menomonie girls are good looking, they swing a wicked line—and the boys just naturallv fall for it—what other explanation may we give for three of our basket ball men pulling the stunt they did down there Jan. 20? Arriving at the Menomonie Junction, four or five miles from that woman- infested city, a clever little trick, carefully planned beforehand, was put into exe- cution. Curtis Chryst, Harold Clark and Gordon Robbins, three of the worst hit, with careful aim and evident sincerity, tossed the basket ball onto the roof of the station. Time, of course, was what they were playing for, and as they la- boriously climbed the slippery roof to rescue the object of their distress the train pulled in. and out—carrying with it the heart-broken brothers of the squad—with the exception of the three innocent roof climbers. Naturally this necessitated a trip back to Menomonie, and once there, with a tree rein, those three. The question is—Are our boys tired of the damsels of Hudson? Are they too sl -w; '.Vhat must we do to remedy such stressing conditionsr The world is old, yet it likes to laugh, New jokes are hard to find, A whole new editorial staff Can't tickle every mind.

He comes into the world without his consent, and goes out of it against his will, and the trip between is extremely rocky. The rule of contraries is one of the features of the trip. When he is little the big girls kiss him; when he is big the little girl's kiss him. If he is poor, he is a bad man- ages; if he is rich, he is dishonest. If he is politics, it is for graft; if he is out of politics, he is no good to his country. If he doesn’t give to charity, he is a stingy cuss; if he does, it is for show. If you save your money, you’re a grouch; if you spend it you're a loafer; if you get it, you’re a graft- er; if you can’t get it you are a bum —So, what’s the use?

At a Teachers’ meeting held this week, the faculty of Hudson High school' decided, because of the too great laxity of the pupils in regard to dancing, that attendance at night- ly parties would be made compul- sory. The rule reads as follows: “The pupils of Hudson High school shall henceforth be compell- ed to attend the nightly dances held in the High school gym. Ted Lew- is’ Jazz Band shall’ be hired by the semester to furnish music for these affairs, and Oscar, from the Wal- dorf, shall he engaged to furnish the spreads. Any pupil who fails to appear at these affairs or who leaves before 3 a. m., shall he com- pelled to eat four Eskimo Pies in succession.” It has been felt for a long time that the pupils of our High school j have shown entirely too much attrac- tion to their studies and the number of flunks and poors nas decereased, alarmingly in the last six months. Parties, dances, and “Hook ’em” have been shamefully neglected and we feel that the worthy teachers i have taken a wise step toward pre- j venting a fall in the moral, physic- I al and intellectual development of j the student body. A hiking club is being organized. Distance—from Auditorium to the office. The staff will not meet Thursday because the Editor has a date. A new consignment of axle grease was received at the local station for Earl Davies. BRUE TRUE Feb. 30, 1986 Page 2 MODERN SCHOOL MANAGEMENT At a recent meeting of the Goofus Club an ideal course was devised, part of which is explained. It was decidedly emphasized that the former school methods engaged in in 1924 were entirely too strict and it was proved that the student’s initiative is more easily developed through leniency. To cut expens- es, moreover, it was decided to elim- inate a principal or a superintend- ent. In order that the Student’s mind would not he troubled or dis- turbed, cigarettes would be furnish- ed to those who desired them, every half hour. The subject of only two page assignments was the least discussed for it was unanimously agreed that the usual forty i ages advance readings were criminal. It was reported that the rule for com- pulsory tardiness would soon be ef- fected though it was deemed slight- ly inadvisable at this stage of the game. Such a contrast with the strict, criminal and unsuccessful methods used years ago; especially when that famous class of Seniors grad- uated from Hudson High in 1925! THE BORDEN’S MILK ADVERTISEMENT The annual baby show was held in room 216 of the Hudson High school building. Mardh 25. 1925. Many beautiful babies were brought. The first prize was a- warded to little Ted Howalt who smiled very sweetly for the judge. He wore a lovely little dress with blue ribbons on it. He was always fed Borden’s milk. All the fond mothers of the country are now rushing to lakeland to secure this cure for their sick children. Buy your soap of the Chemistry classes. CONFETTI THROW- ING CONTESTS Sponsored by Board of Education Lack of sufficient exercise is blamed for the slump in physique in the Hudson High school. One of the most serious problems discussed by the School Board at its last session was the run down con- dition of our entire student body here at Hudson High school. It really is deplorable to notice the sal- low skin and sunken cheeks of the pupils, caused by the terrible lack of exercise. The teachers admit thatt they drive their students too hard, preventing their securing suf- ficient exercise. To remedy this deficiency, the Board decided to hold Confetti Throwing Contests during study study periods. It is believed that this sport will develope brilliancy in the eyes, because of the accurate aiming required, that it will develope arm strength because of the throw- ing and leg strength when it be- comes necessary to flee before an onslaught. Old torn up test pa- pers, notes or torn out leaves of text books may be used. GRACE BENZ FAILS IN ALL SUBJECTS EXCEPT GYM Students of the Hudson High school were greatly startled at a series of exultant noises issuing from room 218 where report cards were being handed to their respect- ive owners. Grace Benz, our school failurer, was overjoyed at the sight of a measly P stuck after the word gymnastics. For the first time in her high school career she has man- aged to pull herself over the brink, and. as a result, the noises. Are vou surprised ? Kenneth Ostby spent the week ! end at Clayton.

Rev. Hackson tied the nup- tial knot with two hundred feet of hay rope. The beautiful home of the bride was tastefully decorated with a sewash chair, spade, one sul- ky rake, one feed grinder, one set double harness, nearly new, and just before the ceremony was pro- nounced Mendelssohn’s March was softly played by the milch cow six years old, one Jersey cow to be fresh next April, carrying a hunch of flowers in her hand, and looking charming in a gown of light spring wagon, boxes of apples, six racks of hay, one grindstone mousseline do soil, trimmed with about one hundred bushels of spuds. The groom is well known and a popular young man and has always stood high among society circles of twelve Berkshire hogs, while the bride is an accomplished and talent- ed school teacher of splendid drove of Poland Chinas, pedigrees if de- sired.

It maketh me lie down in wet places It soileth mv clothing; it bringeth me into deep waters, It leadeth me into paths of ridicule for its name sake; It prepareth me a break-down in the presence of mine enemies.

Surely to goodness, if the thing fol- lows me all the days of my life, I shall dwell in the house of insane forever. Dave Hope entertained a group of his Hudson friends last week.
