There’s but one school we love the best. Over all it tow'rs: Other ones may grander be. But there’s none for you and me, Like this old school of ours.' Our class has retained from its Freshman year most of its members, so that we still have about forty-five students. In 1922 we entered high school, a band of green frightened freshmen. The first few weeks were hard, hut we soon picked up courage and since that time have proved our capacity for hearty co-operation. W e have entered every possible school activity and feel, therefore, that we have been a model for under classmen and future students. Our class has consid- erable athletic material worthy of special mention, our outstanding participants being Olaf Jenson, captain of the football squad; lintil Anderson, captain of th basketball quint, ‘26: as well as Gordon Robbins, Henry Jenson, Edward Boody, and Stewart McMaster, who have proved adept athletic stars from their first at- tempts. The girls; Ann Marson, Imogene Miller, Elinor Gillen, Margaret Muckenhirn and Marie Mulvaney co-operated in making a girls’ basketball team. Imogene Miller, Louise Olson, Margaret Lundeen, Helen Becker, Alma Fyksen and Bonita Noreen, have represented us in the commercial line, while Mar- garet Muckenhirn. Ann Marson, Elinor Gillen, Imogene Miller, Bonita Noreen. Margaret Ilellweg, Marjorie Hughes, Gordon Robbins, Edward Boody, Nolan Jac- obson, Arthur Recker, John Kees and Eugene Hanson were active representatives in the glee clubs. The debate teams of ’26 were composed largely of Seniors, who were; Olaf Jenson, Harold Clark, Edward Boody, Marjorie Hughes and Bonita Noreen. We very much regret the loss of some of our classmates. Marjorie Hanschel moved to Cannon Falls, Minn., Mrs. Robert McLaughlin was nee Mar- jorie. Ellis. Milton Jeska is attending school in River Falls, Zilda Audette is work- ing in St. Paul and Florence Burkhardt is attending business college. Mrs. Melitta King has l� een our able class adviser during our Freshman Junior and Senior years. W e feel that a great deal of our success is due to her assistance and willing co-operation. She has been efficient and very faithful in her work and we take this means to thank her for her untiring efforts in our behalf. When we were Freshmen, it appeared to us that we had to climb a mountain l’eak. but now that we are Seniors and have climbed to the top we find that we are only in the foothills of life. We are beginning a new life. As we look over the horizon we see other hills to climb and beyond them the pinnacle of high achieve- ment. We are fortunate in having educational blessings showered on us, and proud that we are graduates of the Hudson High School and members of the class of 1926 which has established an enviable record. —BONITA NOREEN.

T's in four forts and a cowlick. With apologies to Bill Shakespeare. Jack Milton, the King's English and the readers, if any. The great editor sat at his desk, thoughtfully gnawing at his forelock. He seimed to he a man of tremendous force and vitality, truly a leader of men. Suddenly he turned off his thinker and plunged into business, doing things which no ordinary man would even attempt. The top of his desk was completely covered with buttons and telephones, which he proceeded to press and answer, respectively. His secretary, a petite blonde, entered and demurely seated herself. He tossed off a letter to her between conversations carried on over three telephones. Then, giving her one of his rare, sweet smiles, he nodded and said : “That'll he all. Miss Hellweg. Did you remember to wear your rubbers this morning ?” Touched by this tender thoughtfulness for her welfare, the little secretary tipped over his desk and two chairs as she danced oir of the room and collided sharply with a burly young man who was rushing to Editor Jensen “Lor' Chief, he gas| ed. “I've got the biggest scoop of the year for you if we can only solve the mystery.” He paused impressively. Monsieur Robert Turner and his wife, Marjorie Hughes, have disappeared without leaving a trace. The police are completely baffled-’’ Jensen leaped to his feet, huge gobs of excitement plastered all over his face. “You don’t mean ‘Turner and Hughes,’ Hie great ‘Collegiate dancers!’ ’’ He gasped several gasps. The rejxirter, Joe See, nodded. “Yes, Ole, that’s just what I do mean and if we can find out where they are and the cause of their disappearance, all your worries about the ‘Northline Courier’ are over.” “But how can we possibly do what the police have failed in? You’re the only good man we have left, said the editor despondently. “I have a plan, said See, leaning over and whispering in his chief’s shell pink ear. Again Jenson leaped to the number twelves and pounded his desk, which leaped to its feet, quivered for a moment like a startled faun and then ran and cow- ered against the wall. “I swear, Joe, I believe you’ve hit it. But for appearances’ sake I'll send out a bunch of mv men on the case while you and I carry out your little plan. Tlvrn, if we should fail—” So saying, he prodded a few more buttons, and a thin stream of reporters began to ooze in from the Reportorial Hall where they had been indulging in an ex- citing game of Tiddly-Winks. One by one, they sauntered up to the desk, their derbies cocked, to receive orders, slyly stealing the chief’s cigars out of his pocket as the}' waited. “You, Robbins, take the north and west ] arts of town, and you, Miss Fill- back. take the south and east. Turner and Hughes must be found. Remember the grrat Collegiate Marathon comes off a week from today, so scottr the town for them. ” Editor Jensen turned to See. “I'll be with you as soon as I’ve seen the heads of my departments. Then we’ll come to the bottom of this or die in the attempt.” So saying he selected a few more buttons and punched them gleefully. Presently the door opened and the Weather Man came in, tripping and stumbling over his long white beard. “Now James,” said the editor, “you know your department has been poor : ‘SRUg ’26 ®£.Lig : lately. Why, you have given us the right weather fully twice this week. Don’t you know that you have to keep the public guessing? There, there, don’t cry. Maybe I was a hit harsh, he said, patting Fenton’s hand kindly. “Run along.” “ ) Chumo, you’re the man I wanted to see,” quoth ye editor, as a fair handsome youth wandered in. clouds clinging to his ears and nostrils. “If you must write a ‘Lovelorn Column.’ can't you give the public some good advice? You certainly have had enough exjierience! Now don't try to explain. 1 saw it my- self last night. And that’s not all. I could mention countless cases of poor ad- vice in your column. You’ll have to he more diplomatic, Anderson.” “I’ll try. said the young man, biting his lip in vexation and stamping his foot, “hut I think you’re a horrid, nnan old thing. He burst into tears and ra 11 from the room. The City Editor, Phillip Lein, 'the Sports Editor, Kenneth Coulter, the Ed- itorial riter, Edward Boodv, whose essays on temperance had, by the way, caused much comment, the Fashion Dictator, Frances Hill, and the Advertising Manager, a shrewd writer, Louise Olson by name, all came in and received direc- tions from Mr. Jensen. To each lie gave a kindly smile, a stick of gum, and added the little personal touch (for money) which had helped to make him beloved oy his staff. Next the janitor, Laurie Williamson, came in. opened the vault and took out a little of the precious coal which was entrusted with the happy task of keeping the great pub- lishing company warm and snug all that day. Then with a smile and an “At your service, old chap. the editor put on his moustache, rouged his lips carefully, and smeared them a little with his plug of tobacco. Arm in arm. the great men walked out of the office, their little secret lying close to their hearts. The fate of a Nation depended on them that day and only in their great and unselfish accom- plishment of duty could this frightful catastrophe, which had bowed the hearts of a nation, hope to he solved. PART II A teadv stream of cars rolled up the broad main avenue of the metropolis of X(-rthline. On the busiest corner stood a majestic figure, calm and serene, directing the forces of traffic by a lordly wave of his hand. For eight hours each day the big Irish cop, Nolan Jacobson, was a ruler; after that, he was ruled by his wife, the former grand opera singer, Ann Marson. The officer, just now seemed disturbed about something. “ There's somethin' doin' in this ole town today,” said Nolan to a little boot- bhek who was shivering at his shoulder. “I declare. Hank Jensen, thev's some- thin' up. Thev’s somethin' in the very air that----Hello! What’s that! Tying traffic into marvelousknots and tangles, by a mere order to “Hold Traffic, Jacobson sprinted up to the curb, where a truck was smashed up against a hydrant. A crowd gathered hastily as an inert form was perceived on the pave- ment, hut parted respectfully as the tall form of Editor Jensen shouldered through the throng and knelt by the wounded woman. Jensen gasped in horror. “Great Guns. Officer, do you know who this is? It’s Aileen Fitzgerald, leader of the great Pickpocket Gang.” The policeman bent over and studied the features of the dying woman intently. She stirred slightly; her lips moved. “Hudson--------Wisconsin-------gum factory--------I’m sorry .. . . Peg Lundeen-------insisted------kidnapping-------them.” Her voice faded; her head dropped back; her soul winged its way through the limit.ess blue, up up to the stars. Who knows what reward was given her above—or below? ; mu e’26 wri The policeman was questioning the truck driver. “Your name? Mar- garet Muckenhirn. And address? Appear at the Central Police station at ten in the morning? C’mon, be a sport. 1 gotta make a li'l arrest 'today, or the Chief’ll can me.’’ An ambulance clanged up and bore the lifeless remains of the great crook away, while the crowd stood sorrowful, with bowed heads, until the last bit of Aileen was removed with a blotter. Gradually then they separated and returned to their homes. Traffic assumed a normal aspect once more. The incident ap- peared to be forgotten, but ah—was it forgotten? Was there no one in that vast throng to heed the dying words and act on them ? Yes, Sweet Perusor, you have guessed aright. The great editor and his nosey helper were already putting four and four together and getting—none of your business what. PART III I he cafe was crowded. The crowd overflowed the balconies and seethed outside on the sidewalk- A hush of expectancy hung over all. for was not this the night of the Collegiate Dance Marathon, when the skill fnllest steppers in the world would hoof it for the championship and a million of cold rubles? But, ah, was there not, also, a little murmur of anxiety—almost of apprehension—here and there a few spectators gathered into a knot to talk in lowered voices. What caused this worry ? Echo answers ! “Hughes and Turner have not yet appeared. Fortunes have been laid u]x n them by their earnest backers.” Bur on with the dance! Just try- and postjxme it! The tantalizing, toe-teasing, crooning “Blue’ writhed out into the warm air of the cafe. The tenuous strains rose higher and higher. Stewart Mc- Master, the leader, twisted himself into impossible contortions to extract the last iota of rhythm out of bis swaying orchestra. The lights were dimmed to a murky thickness, and a slim pencil of radiance was focussed on a drawn curtain. '} le curtains parted. I wo figures drifted onto the gleaming dance floor, bend- ing, swaying, melting into one, then breaking apart to perform impossibilities of kicking and shuddering marvel. A storm of applause rocked the house. Cries of “Flattum and Fyksen,” “We want Carl’ and Alma” were heard. Gradually the noise died. A second couple glided out. They were Imogene Miller and Daniel Pedersen, two of the most famous terpsichorean artists of the day. Again pandemonium broke loose. A third couple appeared. And a fourth All of them marvelous dancers, but the crowd was still not satisfied. Where were Hughes and Turner? A thin-faced man appeared at a side door and beckoned to a passing wait- ress. “My name’s Dedrick, private detective for the ‘North’ine Courier.’ ” he said. “1 want you to get me a table and save it for Turner and Hughes, They’re coming, see!” He slipjied a coin into her palm. The girl, a quick Tittle thing named Viola Waxon, nodded and turned away. A strange request, but she received many of them. So Turner and Hughes were coming, but would they be in time? The dancers continued to strut their stuff. The current of excitement ran high. At the intermission the three judges, Alta Jacobson, Anna Jensen and Bonita Noreen, were no nearer a decision than before. Mile. Elinor Gillen of Northline cracked her gum with nervousness, much to the delight of the spectat- ors. Governor Helen Becker also showed signs of great excitement. The greatest contest of the ages was on, but the greatest dancers, Hughes and Turner, were not there. What to do? = mus ’26 : PART IV Again the lights dimmed and the music started. Couple after couple appeared and the judges were still undecided. Suddenly there was a commotion heard outside, the doors swung open, and in came—yes you’re right again—the dancers, the artists, the poets of motion. Monsieur Roberto Turner and his wife, Marjorie Hughes. The rest you know. The memory of that scene will go down in history hand in hand, with the memory of Gettysburg, the memory of Waterloo, ’‘he mem- ory of Washington. The description of it has been too often done by great writers for me to attempt it. Women fainted, strong men broke down and cried, children cried for Castoria: the entire throng arose as one man when the great pair hooked and ankled about the pine boards. The judges did a horn- pipe in a corner from sheer relief, and the Mayor and the Governor kissed each other ecstatically. It was one gay, glad night, and I don’t mean perhaps. Hughes and Turner won the Marathon, of course, received huge slices of honor and fame, which supported them comfortably for the rest of their days, and the million rubles with which they bought a comfortable home—for Fido. But no doubt the reader, if he has lasted this long, is wondering where, how, why, and when. And being an obliging old soul, ye scribe will do her best to satisfy the gnawing pangs of curiosity which are tearing at the well-known “witals.” “Come with me, then,” as the spider said to the house-fly, (I’m perfectly safe I assure you, old thing) and follow Editor Jensen and Joe See after they left the dying Aileen. Hastening to the garage, the two men jumped into a low- slung, powerful car of foreign make, (le voiture Henriford of Dertoit) and hied them over the hills to Hudson. Guiding his car with the sure hand of a master. Joe See drew up before'a handsome brick edifice at Fourth and St. Croix streets in Hudson. “This is the Hudson Gum Factory, makers of the famous Cracko-Pullo gum,” announced Joe, leaping out of the car and tripping over one of the loose boulders lying in the road. “Darn.” he exclaimed angrily at the little mishap. “But I thought this was the Hudson High School!” Ole looked wistfully at the beloved and vine-covered castle in which he had labored away in his boy- hood years. “()h, it used to be, but the School Board knew they’d make more money in a gum factory, so they changed it,” stated Joe callously. The editor burst into heart-rending sobs. “But enough of this.” said Jensen shrewdly, dashing the tears from his eves, “we must find Hughes and Turner. Duty before weeping, and we must be brave, old man.” Together they advanced on the factory. The doorman, Harold Clark, rose leisurely and admitted ’diem: then he returned to his game of solitaire. His •leek was short one card, yet the patient fellow had played solitaire steadily for eight years in an attempt to win. Ole and Joe walked upstairs and into the man- ager’s office. '1'he manager turned hastily at the sound of their entrance. Ole wagged his finger at her sternly. “Norty, norty, Esther Rusch, aren t you ashamed of yours;If i Keeping two innocent people locked up in your sticky old factory. Trot ’em out immediately, or papa spank.” Esther looked down sullenly. “1 carn’t,” she said stubbornly. “Aileen will git sore on me if 1 give ’em up before that contest. Peg Lundeen asked her to get me to hide ’em.” • But why did Peg Lundeen want to get rid of Turner and Hughes?” asked Joe See, slyly inserting his crafty face cleverly into the conversation. : WRUg ’26 ®LU£ : Esther chewed her nails nervously. “I carn’t tell, I darsn't.” Then, as she saw a menacing look on the two faces before her. she added, “Peg Lundeen has always been in love with Bob, and when he married Marge, she swore she’d get even. We girls always get our revenge,” drawing herself up proudly. “Well drag ’em out quick or I’ll—” said he. “Where are they, tell me.' “Try and find them,” said Esther, sticking her tongue out at them. A sound as when some old bovine, contentedly chewing in some stagnant, murky pool and seeing a luscious mouthful of hay at some distance away, should draw her foot out of the slime with a hollow reverberation, was heard Looking over his shoulder, Editor Jensen detected a ripple on the surface of a huge vat of gum which was not yet made into sticks. He strode to the tub, rolled up his sleeves with a majestic gesture, plunged his dimpled arms into the gooey mass and pulled our—first, Marge Hughes, who kissed her liberator soundly, next, Hel- en Solheim, Marge’s dainty French maid, and lastly, the great dancer himself. Roberto Turner- So that is how Turner and Hughes were found. After a memorable ride back to Northline, a literal race with time, with high stakes, they arrived in time, albeit a bit sticky, as we know. And even now, boys and girls, the old-timers of Northline tell of how Editor lensen saved the dav. —E. G. SENIOR CLASS WILL We, the Class of 1926, of Hudson High School.

Signed: The Senior Class of 1926. A. M. E. A. G. : mus '26 SBLUS JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY We, the class of 1927, extend our salutations! Although we have succeeded in remaining the smallest class in the old High school since our arrival, we are quite ready to agree that Quantity does not neces- sarily mean Quality. Juniors, you will find, are represented everywhere. Have we not juniors on the gridiron. Juniors on the Basket Ball floor, out for dehate, entering declamatory contests, and active members of the school clubs? And the rest to he found lending their hearty co-operation toward the boosting and bettering of our school and its spirit. It must be admitted, however, that the Juniors, aggressive as we are, owe much to the members of the three preceding classes for the support rendered us before we came into our own. We, in turn, feel that it is our privilege to pass on good work, and sincerely hope that our efforts will be acceptable to the floun- dering under-classmen when put in that light. Although another year awaits us, offering numerous chances to put forth all that is in us toward gaining honor for self and school, it can not be said that we, as a class, have failed to appreciate our opportunities in the past. mue ’26 £BUJ£ SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY President—Margaret Burkholder. Vice President—Lura Ross. Secretary and Treasurer—Clarice Olson. Class Adviser—Mr. G. W. Cooke. The Sophomore Class of 1926 number about fifty students. We regret that a few of our classmates have left us, but we are consoled with having some new friends join us. We have in our class some excellent athletic material. Several of our boys turned out for both football and basketball. Both the girls and boys showed an interest in the Girls and Boys (dee clubs respectively. We are proud of the fact that Clarice Olson, Ethel Neiman and Warren Davis have showed their talent in obtaining leading parts in :he operetta, “Once in a Blue Moon.” We feel that we have accomplished several notable things, but we hope that other Sophomore classes will make even more advancement. ‘SRUg ’26 BLU£ FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY Approximately one-third of the student body of Hudson High School is composed of Freshmen. I lie name “Green Preside echoed through the corridors and classrooms for a few days, but we soon overcame the “green” part of it and cooperated with the upper classmen in boosting for our school by participating in the various high school activities. ()ur class is above the average from the athletic standpoint as was evidenc- ed by the fact that we defeated the three other classes in football during the tour- nament last fall. Two efficient basketball men, Harold Keith, and “Shrimp” Sol- heim. were chosen from our class. Another freshman. Art Sandeen. has placed in several important basket hall games. Our class promises to he a leading one in ath- letics as many of the boys are proving all around athletes while playing on the Junior High teams. e are very glad we have three years ahead of tts in which we may develop our ability and serve Hudson High School.

At the beginning cf the school year this council votes whether or not the school shall publish an annual. The members also vote on the candidates for the annual staff. Other problems which the council deals with are: exemption rules, rules for Good English contests, school parties, and conditions that arise during the year. c RUe ’26 LU£ GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB 1 he (iirls' (llee Club under the leadership of Miss Langworthy has made noticeable progress during the year. The club numbers about thirty-five girls. The good work which the organization has been doing was demonstrated when the operetta “Once in a Blue Moon” was presented March 11. The leading roles for girls were taken bv Elinor Gillen, Clarice Olson, Ethel Neiman, Alta Jacobson, Margaret Muckenhirn, Ruth Robbins, Marjorie Hughes and Ann Marson. Members have hopes of being able to represent our school in the music con- test to be held at River Falls this spring. c RUS ’26 BUJ£ = GIRLS' ATHLETIC CLUB The Girls’ Athletic Cluh was organized in the fall of 1922 under the lead- ship of Miss Eleanor Roe. Since then the club has added to its membership an- nually until at the present time there are about thirty-five members. The purpose of the club is to arouse school spirit and boost ev ly activity. This is shown in its motto: “Develope your push and your pull will take care of itself.” The selling of Christmas seals and football tickets, and the serving refresh- ments at school parties are activities which the cluh takes charge of during the year. The Girls’ Athletic club has made great advtnc Trent under the efficient direction of Miss Blegan. mus '26 SBLUS BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The 3oys’ (ilee club under the direction of Miss Langworthy was more of a success mis year than ever before. Formerly the membership numbered fewer than ten, but the enrollment has now surpassed twenty-five- The boys who took an important jiart in the Operetta, “Once in a Blue Moon, were Gordon Robbins, Nolan Jacobson, I awrence Harback, John Han- sen, Juel Shefland, William Mulvaney, Warren Davis, and Eugene Hansen. mU€ ’26 £LU£ : DEBATE Because of an error on 'ffie part of one of the teams in our conference, the debate chadules for 1926 were somewhat confused. Since Hudson was unable to foil iw the new plan, we engaged in only two debates. However, the length of the seaon mattered little as far as the affirmative team was concerned. Margaret Nelson, Edward Boodv and Harold Clark, who composed the affirmative team, traveled to Amerv, February 3. It was necessary, in order to reach their destination in due time, to go on the train by way of Clear I Tike and journey front that city to Antery bv some other means. Not knowing whether to look for a Hudson coach or merely a Ford, the team and their coach were some- what surprised to find a two-seated sleigh awaiting them at Clear Lake. Only the team can appreciate the cold, crowded ride to Amerv. The debate was held in the local theatre. Although Hudson did not receive h? decision, it was considered a worthwhile trip. They were entertained at the high : chool by the judges and the girls of the senior class and returned by wav of St. Paul—'nuff said. The negative team, consisting of Bonita Noreen , Marjorie Hughes and Olaf enson. was defeated here by the Hammond affirmative team in a very well matched contest. Debate is rapidly gaining a place in our high school activities, and we hope that it may become yet more popular as an interscholastic event in the coming years. DECLAMATION AND ORATORY Oratory and declamation-occupy an important position among the spring activities of Hudson High School. This year more than twenty students took advantage of the opportunity for training in competitive public speaking. A group of faculty members acted as coaches. The preliminary contest, which was held in the Hudson auditorium on April 23, was followed by the league con- test on April 30, and the district meet at River Falls May 14. Oratorical and declamatory work are especially valuable in developing poise and self-confidence in high school students. 'V r k« in J n f c«n '-5 4 i _______; ‘SRUg ’26 «BLue FOOTBALL Football is one of the greatest of out door sports. It is a game.that must be played by players who are not afraid of hard knocks and hard work. It developes those characteristics which cannot be reached by any other department of our school system. A football game is similar to the game of life. There is nothing more impressive than to watch two football players clash and to wonder if either one is going to get up again. But they do. They assist each other to their feet, line up and clash again. So they develope the spirit of good fellowship. Football develops the thinking power of the individual. He plays the game because he likes it. He must think when in a football game. A situation occurs and he must solve'the problem with little time to do it in. His mind works out this problem spontaneously without the help of the coach or class room instructor. The i ast football season was not successful as far as scores are concerned. However, scoring is just one part of a football season. An equally important part is the development of good fellowship and a fighting spirit. In this the season was successful. The first few games resulted in decisive defeats for Hudson. In the last four games of the season the team played a better brand of straight football but was weak in the aerial department of the game. This was the reason for most of the six defeats. There will be seven letter men to form the nucleus of next year’s team. —W. G. SCHUELKE. H. Becker, A. Becker, Robbins, Schuelke, Hanson, Sawyer Boody, F. Sirrianni Kees. Trudell. Daniels Sandeen, Shetland, Anderson, Jenson (Captain) Michaelson, B. Sirrianni, Kieth, Wright : RUS ’26 «BLUE FOOT BALL LINEUP Captain Olaf Jenson—Left Tackle Olie, captain of the team, will be missed next year, not onlv because he held the team together in fine shape, but because he knew how to tackle his man and keep him down. Emil Anderson—Full Back Chumo, for four years one of the main supports of the team, has been practically indispensible and is to be lost by graduation. Robert Hanson—Right End Boh, because of his sjieed, usually stopped many nearly disastrous rushes on the part of his opponents. He will be ineligible next year. Frederick Sawyer— Quarter Back Choppy always lived up to his name. By his brilliant direction, he made the players “chop” their way through all opposition. Choppy is only a Junior and will be back next year. Juel Shefland—Right Tackle Firpo, the team’s strong man, was always ready to challenge any play and was usually the victor. He will be a valuable asset to next year’s team. Edward Boody—Left Guard Ed has what is know as the “fighting spirit” which he put to use in all his plays. This is his last year in his Alma Mater. Gordon Robbins—Half Back Jerkin, as he is known to his friends, was always on the spot when he was needed, and he was needed often. He is another graduate. Jerome Trudell—Half Back Jerry was a successful “plodder,” and pounded his way through the op- posing eleven at all times. He will be back next year. Everett Sandeen—Left End Swede was a fast man and a persistent tackier, with the result that he “got his man”. Swede is another Junior. Harold Keith—Right Guard Bug-a-bo was a new man at the game and developed quickly into a valuable asset. Together with Firpo he frustrated many plays. Einer Anderson—Center Andy was one of the best centers Hudson High has ever known, and he worked faithfully through out the entire season. Big things are expected of him next year. Albert Linder—Half Back and Quarter Back A1 will be remembered for his end runs and his defence against passes. Ilis osition has been changed several times and he expects to hit his stride next year. FOOTBALL RESUME After playing six games of as hard a schedule as was ever given a Hud- son foot ball team, the season for 1926 closed with a record of manv defeats. De- spite the fact that the Blue and White suffered six reverses. Coach Schuelke’s men made a record of good sportsmanship and constant effort. HUDSON AT STILLWATER The fast and powerful Stillwater team defeated Hudson in the first game of the season by a score of 46 to 0- Hudson was no match for the Red and Black in defense, but our offense was very fast. Olaf Jenson, captain, starred for Hud- son, and Linder s offensive work showed up well. Manv inexperienced players were initiated into interscholastic football at this game: Kees. Boody,Hansen. ‘SRUg ’26 $LXJ£ Trudell, Becker, Sandeen, and Solheim. RIVER FALLS AT HUDSON The second game in the season showed Hudson battling with another strong opponent, River Falls, on the local gridiron. This contest resembled the Stillwater game in that Hudson fought without being able to make significant gains although Anderson twice intercepted River Falls’ passes and advanced the ball from 15 to 20 yards.The game closed with Hudson at the small end of a 45 to 0 score. HUDSON PLAYS CRETIN Cretin gave Hudson a 28 to 13 defeat here in the next game of the season. The Irish brought over two teams with them and were able to keep a fresh ma- chine on the field at aH times. MENOMONIE DEFEATS HUDSON Hudson traveled to Menomonie for the fourth game last tall and was de- feated by a score of 13 to 0. Fast playing on both sides was a feature of the game. In the first quarter. Sawyer got the ball and ran down the field making 40 yards on the play. Jensen and Anderson made a good showing, both in offensive and defensive work. Menomonie had a strong team this year and Hudson did well to hold the score down to where it was. HUDSON LOSES TO EAU CLAIRE At Eau Claire Hudson again encountered a stronger team and lost to it by a 13 to 0 score. It was a victorious defeat for the Blue and White, for the op- ponents far out weighted our men. Three teams were used bv Eau Claire in their onslaught while Hudson played only four substitutes. NEW RICHMOND DOWNS HUDSON The closing game of the season was a hard fought contest between Hudson and New Richmond. The game was fast and the outcome was uncertain at all times. Hudson led her opponents at the end of the first quarter by a 7 to 6 score. Much of the game was a seesaw back and forth in the center of the field. Near the last of the third quarter New Richmond, by a fake play, put the ball over the line for a second time. They again failed to kick goal and the score stood 13 to 7 in fa- vor of the Irish. Neither team managed to score further and the game ended in our rival's favor.

All of the games, how- ever,were very close and it was difficult to tell who would win until the final whistle had blown. The Freshmen and Juniors competed on the first night of the tournament. Before the game started it was a toss-up as to who would win, hut after the first whistle, the winners were easily picked. Becker’s slashing and plunging soon weakened the Juniors’ line and their lead was never recovered, flain after gain was made by the Freshmen’s line plunging and the game ended 7 to 0 in the Fresh- men’s favor. 'I he next game to he played was that between Sophomores and Seniors. These teams were very evenly matched and the score was doubtful all through the game. Kottke starred for the Sophomores and made most of the gains. Jensen with his quick wit saved the day for the Seniors by picking up two fumbles and carrying the ball over the goal line for two touchdowns. The Seniors won this tilt by a score of 12 to 6. The Freshmen and Seniors were now tied for first place and both were very eager to win the tournament. It was generally thought that the Seniors would walk away with the Freshmen in the final game. The Freshmen purposed differently, however, and meeting the Seniors in the final game, they slashed and plunged their way to a 13 to 7 victory. This result gave the Freshmen the title of “Champions of Hudson High School” in football, an honor which does not often come to under classmen. Kees, Wright Robbins. Davis, Schuelke Linder, A.

It has developed more in late years than any outdoor sport. The growth and popularity of the game in all probability are due to two things; first, the playing court can be established with less space and trouble than can a football' field or baseball diamond; secondly, fewer partic- ipants make up a basketball team. Basketball is one of the most strenuous sports that we play. It is a game that requires endurance instead of brute strength. Basketball has a much wider range for the use of one’s thinking power than has football. In football the ball must be carried from one end of the field to the other. There are three ways to get it there: by running, passing, and kicking. The play is alT worked out and each man does his ) art. In basketball the player has many more things to do in order to get the ball into the basket. A player must pass, dribble, pivot or shoot; if he has taken the ball down the floor on offence and los- es it, he must be on the defense. All of these things happen in a very short time and a player must think accordingly. BASKETBALL SEASON Basketball practice was started shortly after the football season was over. A squad of fifteen members reported for practice. The squad consisted mostly of mex|)erieneed men. Under the able leadership of Captain Anderson the team pro- gressed rapidly. The loss of Gordon Robbins left a large gap in the lineup. The success of the season was due to the cooperation of the fellows and the fine spirit that most of the men showed during the season. letters were given to the follow- ing: Cap’t Anderson, Henry Jensen, Sherwin Solhiem, Arthur Sandeen, Gordon Robbins, Lloyd Kneen, Ronald Kottke, and Harold Keith. Captain Anderson, Gordon Robbins and Henry Jensen will not be with the squad next vear. The loss of these men will be keenlv felt. —W. G. SCHUELKE : c RUe ’26 ©CU£ : INDIVIDUAL BASK ET BALL Captain Anderson deserves much praise this year for his ability to guide his men through a season of thirteen games in which they admitted but two de- feats. He was a good plaver on the offense as well as the defense. His ability to dribble through his rivals’ defense won many a game for the Blue and White. Hudson High loses “Chumo” through graduation. “Dane” Jensen, at left forward, was one of the most valuable men on the 1926 quint. His team work and ability to fool his opponents showed up well. He also graduated with the class of ’26. “Shrimp” Solheim at center was one of the stars of the Blue and White. His six-feet and two inches in height often aided Hudson in pulling down a victory. Att Sandeen, at left guard, also won a letter this year for his work with the High School quint. Art, through his remarkable basketball ability, was a regu- lar on the Hudson team in his Sophomore year. Gordon Robbins, left guard, was one of the most valuable plavers the High School has ever had. His defense work could not be beaten, and his eye for the basket was very keen. Gordon is lost through graduation. “Hidad Kottke, star forward, was very valuable to the Blue and White. His height, over six-feet two, was a great help in defeating our opponents. “Hidad” is back again next year. “Bugaboo Keith, right guard, played his part well in his first vear of bas- ketball. Not many men get letters during their first year out. Lloyd Kneen, forward, came to us this year from Augusta and was very efficient on the High school team. Llovd will be back next year. The four substitutes who are left, but who did nor receive letters because they did not play the required number of games, deserve a world of praise. They are: Alphonse Staberg, Howard Wright, Eugene Kees and James Caldwell. All played their part well and the High School extends their heartfelt appreciation. : CBRVE ’26 $LU£ - HUDSON-ELLSWORTH Hudson came from behind to down the Ellsworth cagers 15 to 14 in a con- test marked by individual play. With Captain Anderson on the sidelines the best passing combination was shown by Jensen and Robbins. Ihe game was close throughout and with a few seconds to go Hudson trailed 13 to 14 when Robbins broke loose to dribble the length of the floor for the winning basket. HUDSON-ROBERTS Hudson showed development and walked off with Roberts to the tune of 23 to 12- The passing was much improved and the regulars ran up a score which made frequent substitutions possible. Robbins and Jensen starred for Hudson on the offensive and defensive. Shetland played a stellar game at guard. HIGH SCHOOL DEFEATS ALUMNI The Blue and White defeated the alumni in a hard fought battle on the gvni floor by a score of 23 to 12. The game was close and very thrilling. The Alumni were represented by Holden, Jensch, Odenwald, O’Rourke, and Bl'ier. The High school was represented by its usual lineup. The Blue and White kept the lead at all times, but hard and fast playing was necessary to hold the alumni down. HUDSON TRIUMPHS OVER ELLSWORTH Hudson defeated Ellsworth by a score of 18 to 6 in a slow game on the rival’s own floor. The Blue and White kept the lead at all times. Chumo imade the first score for Hudson by dropping in a long field goal from half the floor. This was the only score made in the first quarter. In the se- cond quarter, Chumo and Dane broke through the Ellsworth defense and piled up seven points in succession, to their opponents’ two. The second half was very slow with Hudson ringing up nine points to Ellsworth’s four. The game ended with I ludson ahead 18 to 6. HUDSON DEFEATS ROBERTS Hudson defeated Roberts by a score of 31 to 19 in a thrilling game on the Roberts floor. Fast playing was the feature of the contest. Roberts scored first bv dropping in three free shots. Jensen made the first score for Hudson by shooting a free throw. 1 he quarter ended 3 to 1 in Roberts' favor. In the second quarter Hudson ran up 8 points to their op|x nents’ 4- The half ended 9 to 7 in Hudson's favor. During the rest of the game our players made 22 points to Roberts' 12. HUDSON AT SPRING VALLEY Ihe High school quint traveled to Spring Valley and came back victorious with a score of 12 to 5. It was a very slow game due to manv fumbles on both sides. • he game started with both teams playing hard. The first score was made by Jensen. This gave Hudson the advantage of two points. After this, the game was a see-saw, neither team scoring further in the first quarter. The second quarter was similar to the first as to placing. Jensen and “Chumo each scored a free shot, and Spring Valley made its first point via the same route. The first half ended with the score 4 to 1 in Hudson's favor. The second half started differently from the first. Both reams were wide awake now and fighting for their lives. Spring Valiev drew blood first bv putting in a field goal from across half of the floor. Robbins then added two more scores : mU6 ’26 to Hudson’s list by doing the same thing. Jensen and Solheim repeated the first act and the quarter ended with Hudson in the lead 10 to 3. In the fourth quarter Spring Valley scored another two points. Shortly aft- erward Jensen dropped in another basket for Hudson, on the larger end of a 12 to 5 score. NEW RICHMOND AT HUDSON 1 he Hudson High basketball team was defeated on their own floor by the New Richmond team in one of the fastest and most thrilling games ever played on the local floor. Starters for Hudson were Anderson, Jensen, Solheim, Robbins, and Sandeen. Hudson used no substitutes in the game. The first score for Hudson was made by Jensen, with a foul shot- This .gave the locals the advantage of one point over their rivals and it was here that the game reaTlv started. After this score both teams began fighting for their lives. New Richmond dropped in a field goal, and shortly after “Chumo” made one for Hudson. The quarter ended with the score 5 to 3 in Hudson’s favor. The second quarter was much the same. Both teams were fighting their lnrdest, and it was very doubtful as to who would make the next score. New Richmond made five points in rapid succession, but the local team, not to be dis- mayed by this break in the game, fought valiantl'v and scored five more, points for Hudson. The half ended with Hudson still leading bv the narrow margin of 10 to 9. After a few minutes’ rest, the game was resumed. New Richmond drew Mood first by dropping in a long shot from over half of the floor The Hudson players were on their guard now and not once, after this, did Hudson let New Richmond in close enough for a short shot. Each team put in a basket after this and the quarter ended 12 to 13 in New Richmond’s favor. In the last quarter the fast New Richmond players outscored Hudson by- six points. Hudson was playing hard, but the baskets continued to drop in for the rivals. Hudson was defeated by the score of 17 to 23. HUDSON SCORES ANOTHER VICTORY T he Hudson High basketball team scored another victory by defeating Elmwood with a score of 21 to 4 on the rival's own floor. Starters for Hudson were: Anderson, Jensen, Solheim. Keith and Sandeen. ,Kneen substituted for Sandeen in the third quarter, and Wright and Shetland substituted for Jensen and Anderson respectively. The game was very one sided. Keith made the first score for Hudson with a free shot- Shortly afterward Jensen, Sandeen, and Anderson dropped in field goals bringing- the score up to 5 and 0 in Hudson’s favor at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter was much the same. Elmwood’s team was outscored. • mt-fought, and out-played, and the first half ended 9 to 0 in Hudson’s favor. In the third quarter Elmwood woke up for about five minutes, scoring four points in succession. Thinking these were enough points to last for awhile, thev again relaxed. Hudson, however, closely guarded her less alert opponents and ran up nine points in the third quarter, making the score 18 to 4. Three more scores were hung up in the last quarter by Wright and Jensen, and the game ended with Hudson ahead by a score of 21 to 4. HUDSON DEFEATS GLENWOOD CITV The Hudson High quint defeated the Glenwood City team by a score of 21 to 19 in one of the most thrilling games ever played on the local floor. : BRU£ ’26 BLU£--------------------------------- The game was fast and furious and the outcome was doubtful through- out the contest. The third quarter ended with Glenwood ahead 14 to 16. The last quarter was. the most thrilling ever fought on the local floor Glenwood was ahead 16 to 14 and tried to keep the lead. Our boys, however, soon gained the lead by dropping in two field goals. The rest of the quarter was a see- saw, and the score stood 19 to 19 with one minute to play. Both sides were fight- ing for an opening and the crowd started to get out on the floor. Everyone was yelling until they were hoarse, but “Chumo” saved the day for the Blue and White by dropping in a field goal just as the final whistle blew. NEW RICHMOND DEFEATS HUDSON The fast New Richmond team defeated the Blue and White for the second time this season. The score ended 23 to 4 in New Richmond’s favor. During the first few minutes of play New' Richmond made one field goal and scored two free shots. With odds against them, Hudson resorted to long shots, but were not able to make one field goal. Jensen made the first score for Hudson with a free shot- Shortly after this, New Richmond dropped in a field goal, and the quarter ended with the Irish ahead 11 to 1. The second half was much the same. Hudson fought hard but was unable to score one more point. The half ended w’ith New' Richmond ahead 16 to 2. In the third quarter, Hudson held New Richmond down, and only one score was made by them. Shefland, in the first part of the last quar- ter, had a free throw but missed. New' Richmond scored a field basket, and Chumo, shortly after, scored a free shot for Hudson. New Richmond made seven more scores, and the game ended in a 23 to 4 defeat for Hudson. ELMWOOD DOWNED BY HUDSON The fast Elmwood team was defeated for the second time this season by the Blue and hite five. Hudson had a hard time to hold the Red and White dowm. 1 he first quarter ended with Hudson ahead by the narrow margin of 4 to 3. I he first half closed w'ith our rivals leading by a score of 7 to 4. In the third quarter Hudson came back strong and outplayed their op- ixments to the tune of 12 to 9. The Elmwood team tried hard to turn the tide but were unsuccessful. It was a case of “best team always wins.” The game ended 22 to 9 in our favor. HUDSON DEFEATS PRESCOTT I luj Hudson quint added another victory to their list this season when they defeated the fast Prescott team by a score of 28 to 20 on the local floor. 1 he Hudson boys piled up 9 scores in the first two minutes of plav, and the Prescott team had to call'time-out to plan a new' method of defense. The rest of the quarter showed Prescott gaining on the Blue and White and the quarter ended with Hudson 9 and Prescott 7. The rest of the game was a see-saw, until the last quarter, when Hudson began to pile up scores. The Prescott team tried to keep up to the fast pace set by our boys, but it was useless- They were playing against a better team and defeat was inevitable. Solheim and Anderson starred in this game in both offensive and defens- ive work. HUDSON DOWNS SPRING VALLEY The Blue and White defeated the Spring Valley team by a score of 37 to 9 : cSRUe '26 ®LU£ : in the last game of the season on the local floor. The game was very one sided and uninteresting. Coach Schuelke removed the Hudson regulars in the first quarter, and the second team was substituted. They also ran away with the Spring Valley quint, and the game ended with Hudson victors by a score of 37 to 9.

The team did not hit its stride in this game and lost by the score of 23—10. Their spirit and fight were not downed by this defeat, however. They defeated Menomonie the following day 15—11. The last day of the tournament was a very strenuous one, hut they came through with a victory by defeating Ellsworth 19-9 in the morning’s game. This put them in the running for third place. They played a wonderful game in the evening and defeated New Richmond 23 -21. Cheered on by their school, they fought the cleanest, fastest game of the tourne.ment, revenged two previous defeats of the early season by these same rivals, and landed in third place. Thus ended brilliantly a most successful season of fourteen victories o'er- topping three defeats. SENIORS vs FACULTY The Seniors, for the first time in many years, defeated the faculty by a score of 25 to 18. The quints battled at an even pace during the first half, but the seniors ran up the score rapidly during the second period. The faculty team con- sisted of Mr. Rock, Mr- Schuelke, manual arts instructor, Mr. Cooke, sociology teacher, Mr. Bargeti, teacher of science, and Mr. William Haugen, an alumnus. The Seniors were represented by Jensen. McMaster, Andersen, Clark and Robbins. In addition to their victory over the faculty, the Seniors defeated the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen by narrow margins and won the champion- ship in the tournament. The Juniors took second place and the Sophomores third. ve ’26 ®LU£ GIRLS' BASKET BALL Owing to diligent practice and an efficient coach, the girls’ basket ball sea- son was very successful. The team deserved every victory and bore defeats as ar.v 1. s?r to a !)etter team should. The first game with Roberts was played on the home floor on the evening of the first boys' game. The Hudson girls won after a hard fought battle with a ■core of 11 to 15. The second game was with Ellsworth and was another victory tor Hudson. They showed themselves superior to their opponents at every turn: and the game, excepting for a few minutes of suspense, was obviously Hudson’s from'start to finish. The score ended 15 to 18. The girls received their first defeat at the hands of the Stillwater girls. The visiting team was much superior to the home quint who were defeated by the overwhelming score of 18 to 6. For the first time in the history of Hudson High School, the girls' team journeyed out of town. They traveled to Roberts, and there received their second defeat. The girls fought pluckily but unfamiliarity with the floor hindered them and they lost the game with a score of 9 to 16. By far the most exciting game of the girlsj season was the one with New Richmond. This was an especially fast game and both teams showed good form- The contest ended with a score of 18 to 15 in favor of New Richmond. 'BRUe ’26 ©LU£ = INDIVIDUALS Ruth Robbins has been one of the most efficient captains the girls’ team has ever had. Her ability as guard was a big factor in keeping down the oppon- ents’ scores. She is one of the few who are to he back next year. Ann Marson, as center, has for four years been a strong force in leading Hudson to victory. Against her speed the outside teams have been unsuccessful. Her loss by graduation will be strongly felt. Margaret Muckenhirn’s height has made her indispensable as a forward. She was responsible for many of the baskets made by the team. “Muck” also graduates. Imogone Miller’s baskets were noted for their grace as well as usefulness, for “Imo” has been a good forward. Her loss this spring will he hard to replace. Geneva Marson, guard, has enough spunk tempered by fair play to make her a valuable addition to our team. Her determination to prevent any basket- making on the part of her opponents has been successful. Elnor Gillen’s pep has made her a mascot as well as a member of the team, but it has also made her an efficient guard. She will be missed next year. The substitutes, although not stars, have done their share to make the team succeed. Margaret Nelson, Alvina Hanson and Iva Haj?en have worked hard and deserve much credit.

Our victories in the past were not earned through natural abilities; work and loyalty to the Blue kept the boys within bounds, prevented them from smok- ing, and denied them the pleasure of parties during the athletic season. Our teams have always been feared by our rivals, even though they were at times the poorest equipped hoys on the field. But did that daunt their courage.' No! They fought on because they loved our school. Smoking, the greatest evil to an athlete, was banned: and I car say truth- fully, the ruling was observ’d. Our past wearers of the “H,” knowing that their superiors were more experienced and wiser, were willing to take their advice. .Are they today? To the casual observer it does not seem so, for often our athletes can be found breaking one of the training rules. It seems that loyalty has not been too dominant in their minds, and our winnings seem to indicate the fact. Are our coaches inefficient? Are our athletes of lesser calibre than formerly? It would seem not, for with the equipment, they should be better able to carry on the battle. But it seems that the lesson “Be a listener, not a “know it all. has not been im- pressed on our boys. Winning teams are made by hard work, not mysteriously created. Absolute observance of training rules, early hours, no smoking and proper care of appetites are essentials that cannot be overstressed. Get behind the wheel, and push collec- tively, and bring back the honor for our school and vour school. Let it he an honor and a duty to give all that you have, in order that, even tasting defeat, our teams shall he respected for their sportsmanship. We have had our share of honors in the pas':. A number of championships have been won. In 1917 our track team took second place in the St. Croix Valley meet. Real spirit brought back first place in the honors the next spring under the able coaching of Reed Stevenson, who also developed the only Champion Relay I earn in our school history. During those same years our baseball teams were the sensation of this district, and for four years did not taste defeat due to the bril- liant hurling of our now famous Dud’ Odenwald. A wonderful success was at tained a few years ago when a meager handful of men. dauntless, hardworking, real listeners, brought our only district championship in football. They were trained by our present Sup t- E. P. Rock. These victories were not attained with- out conscientious work and training. Our new gym and standard equipment give us an advantage hitherto tot enjoyed and we alumni look forward to seeing our successors achieve greater laurels, filling our trophy chest with shining emblems of well-earned victories BILL HAUGEN '18 : VS’26 ®LU£ : EARLY TIMES IX HUDSON January 9. 1.S40 the Wisconsin Legislature created a new county out of Crawford county, including territory west of the Chippewa River, extending northward to the British possessions and named it St. Croix. 'I lie admission of Wisconsin Territory as a state in 1848 divided the coun- ty. giving it the St. Croix river and state line as its western boundary. Soon after the admission of Wisconsin that part of St. Croix county within its limits was re- organized for county and judicial purposes, and a new county seat was chosen, lo- cated in section 24, township 29, range 19, at the mouth of Willow River. This county seat was at first called Buena Vista. The legislature in 1851 changed the name of the town of Buena Vista to Willow River, also the town of Elizabeth to I res.ott. At the annual meeting of the county board November 9, 1853, a petition was presented by Alfred Day and others asking that the name he changed to Hud- son, since the people were dissatisfied with the old name. They voted two to one for the change. The legislature in 1853 created from the territory ot St. Croix county the counties of 1’olk, St. Croix and Pierce, Polk being located on the north. Pierce on the south and St. Croix occupying the central portion of the or- iginal St. Croix county, and retaining the county seat at Hudson- The first settlement in St. Croix County was made on the present site of Hudson city in 1839 by Peter Bouche Louis Massey, William Steets and Joseph l agroo, Frenchmen who subsisted chiefly by hunting and fishing, but who also raised garden crops of corn, beans and other vegetables. These people were con- tended and jovial. But beyond the pleasure of living they seemed to have but little care and were without enterprise or ambition. More enterprising and industrious people followed them to the new settlement, and as the public land was not open for entry until 1848, settled upon the land and made improvements awaiting pa- tiently tlie time when they could acquire a legal title. The original claimants of the town of Buena Vista in 1848 were: Peter Bouche, Louis Massey, William Streets, Joseph Lagroo, Joseph Lennvil. Revere. .Animal), Andrews, W. H. and M. V. Nobles, John B. Page, Philip Aldrich and W. R. Anderson. Folsom says: “In 1840 the locality as seen from a passing steamer, seemed a wilderness of orchard, oaks and maples, filling the valley of Willow river and clothing the slopes of the hills. A closer view might have re- vealed a.i occasional shanty or cabin of the first French settlers with small gardens the whole protected by high picket fences as a protection against strolling Indians. In 1847 loggers were at work on Willow River under Capt. J. B. Page. Several frame houses were built. The first was built by W. H. Nobles on a por- tion of the grounds of Y. H. Phipps which faces Second street. In 1848 James Puriton began a saw mill at the mouth of Willow River, which was not completed until 1850. A ferry was started over the lake in 1848 by W. H. Nobles. James Puriton opened a store and Moses Perin built a hotel. A school house was not built until 1855. The first public building was built 011 the lot now occupied by the Methodist church. It burned down in the spring of 1851 and an account of the fire published at that time stated that the Court House, Methodist, Baptist, Congregational and Episcopal Churches, together with the High School buildings, were consumed. It is not fair to say that there were no regular church organizations at this time, but occasional services by lo cal and transient clergymen. The society organization was that of the Baptists. Rev. S. T. Catlin, pastor in 1852. In the same year Rev. A. M. Richardson was regularly appointed as pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church. I11 1855 the first : RUS ’26 Presbyterian Church was organized under the pastorate of Rev. Charles lhayer, and Rev. YVilcoxson became the first rector of the Episcopal Church In 1856 Rev. Father McGee took charge of the Catholic church. In 1857 Rev. C. H. Marshall was called to the pastorate of the Congregational Church. The school interests were not neglected by the early settlers. Miss Sarah E. Partridge taught the first school in the winter of 1849-50. Her contract was made out for a term of three months at four dollars per week, dated Dec. 15, 1849. signed by A. Aldrich, district clerk, and approved bv F. P. Catlin, treasurer, and by M. S. Gibson, director. Her certificate was issued September 1849 by J. Bowron. Supt. of Schools, Town of Buena Vista. A good school was built in 1855 and the schools were graded in 1859. In 1860 Miss Charlotte Mann, a niece of the great educator, Horace Mann, was chos- en principal, and taught the eight ensuing years. A new school building was com- pleted in 1887 at a cost of $25,000. It was one of the first schools to be placed on the accredited list by the University of Wisconsin. In 1919 the present high schoo., which cost about $150,000, was dedicated. In 1924 the new grade build- ing costing more than $60,000. was completed. At a meeting of the county board held Nov. 13th. 1856, it was voted to a- ward the contract of building the court house for St. Croix County to Ammah Andrews on condition that he would build said building according to the proposals then before the board, for $1,300. Mr. Andrews associated John Comstock with him in the enterprise and by November 1857 the historic old stone structure was ready for use. Hudson was incorporated as a city in 1857, and the first municipal election was held in April of that year. The city was divided into three wards. A. D. Gray was the first mayor. The following were the first aldermen: First Ward, James B. Gray, Milton V. Nobles, J. M.Fulton;. Second Ward. Alfred Day, R. A. Gridlev, Charles E Dexter; Third Ward; Charles Thayer, N. P. Lester, N. Perry. The remaining city officers were: City Clerk, O. Rell; City Attorney, C. L. Hail, Surveyor Michael Lynch. I'he Omaha R. R. was built to Hudson in 1871. The River Falls division was constructed in 1877. A model sanatorium, founded by Dr. f. D. Wiltrout, was dedicated (une 7th, 1887. The Oliver Wendell Holmes Hospital was named for America’s popular poet. Dr. Holmes was invited to be present at the dedication exercises of the hos- pital honored by his name, but instead he wrote a poem especiaally for the occasion. Following the dedication address by Hon. H. A. Taylor the poem was read by President Cyrus Northrup of Minnesota university. In 1894 Dr. Sam C. Johnson purchased the institution, added many improvements and changed the name to the Sanatorium. Nature has done much to add to the beauty and picturesqueness of this lit- tle city. The taxpayers are liberal in their efforts to join with nature in making Hudson a thing of beauty. Besides good schools, and good churches, the people in their wisdom have provided unsurpassed artesian water for home and fire pur- ges and ja system of electric house and street lights. Hudson has good attrac- tions for manufacturers or for general business. More enterprises and more thrift would make it an ideal municipality. K. E.

To these progressive men and woman we owe a deep debt of gratitude.The wonderful school buildings and complete equipment at our disposal are due to the efforts and vision of our School Board. The monument which they have built for youth and education will long serve and be appreciated after we have gone. We have been fortunate in having Mr. Charles Jensch as tne Director. Mr. Louis Blegan as Treasurer, and Mrs. Ruth B. Hughes as the Clerk of our Board of Education. ORME CONTEST Mr. James Orme, a business man of St. Paul, Minnesota and a former re- sident of Hudson has made his second annual offer of five silver loving cups to be given as awards in a better English campaign in the Hudson Public Schools. Mr. Orme, who is an officer in the Washington Foundry Company, is in position to judge the importance of good English usage in the business world and among industrial workers. It is in accordance with his suggestion that prizes are given to those who show the most improvement in their written and oral work throughout the year as well as to those who reach the highest degree of excellence. Separate awards are made to grade students, under classmen, and upper classmen. In the 1924-25 Junior-Senior contest Sam Jensch was winner of the cup for excellent usage and Joseph See took the award for improvement. The cup for excellence a- mong freshmen and sophomores went to Ruth Robbins and the improvement cup to Geneva Marson. Irene Hanson was the 1924-25 grade winner of the Orme prize for general good usage. The 1925-26 awards will' he made bv Mr. Orme at the close of the present school year. Candidates for the t'nne honors are nom- inated by the English teachers and elected by the faculty THE OLD SAW MILL ■ features : ‘BRUe ’26 : ALLEN McDOWELL'S CHRISTMAS GIFT With a wild whoop and a loud slamming of the outside door, Allan Mc- Dowell was gone. Fat Stevens, a short, stout, but sturdily built young fellow, sat up with a jerk. He had been dozing comfortably in a large chair in front of a huge open fireplace. looking over toward Al’s empty chair he gave a huge yawn and growled. “Well, I’ll be cooked,” he added lamely as he saw the housekeeper advancing toward him, perplexity showing plainly on her comely old face. “Now what’s Mister Allen up to?” she queried anxiously— “If he ain’t the beatenest !”Pat chuckled amusedly as he strolled over to where A1 had hastily left a huge stack of comic sections piled high as a table in front of the window. Looking out, his smile broadened and he beckoned to Mrs. Mallory who joined him immediately. Leaning against the side of the little white cottage adjoining their lot. busi- ly engaged in talking to a young girl, of whom only a small head could be seen above the high window ledge, and eagerly getting away with a huge wedge of fresh pie, stood Al. He was a tali’, gracefully built, attractive young man with brown hair, dark brown eyes, a well shaped nose and mouth, and a firm chin Good nature was written all over the face, yet one could see that behind that mask of merry unconcern there lurked traces of an iron will and a grim determination. Pat turned to Mrs. Mallory. “What chance have I with Rhoda with a fel- low like Al against me?” Mrs. Mallory smiled sympathetically but kept her dim old eves fastened proudly on Allen. How she loved that boy with good, clean char- acter. gentlemanly manners, and merry pranks. For seventeen years now she had taken care of him as her own son—ever since that terrible day when both his; parents had been taken from him by an electric storm. She shuddered even yet, at the recollection of it—the charred home, pitifully burned bodies, and the won- derful miracle which saved the little six-year-old child from a similar fate With the comfortable amount of money which had fallen into Allen’s hands, Mrs. Mal- lory, even at that time Mrs. McDowell’s most prized and faithful housekeeper, had jxurchased the little bungalow in Bridgeport, a small respectable suburb of Au- gusta, Maine. Happy years had followed for Allen, full of good times and the tack of ac- quiring an education. All during this time his best friend and jolliest playmate was; his little neighbor, Rhoda Pomroy. She was far from beautiful, but her merry grin, laughing blue eyes, and mop of red curls had attracted many friends to her. Even now, as the two stood laughing and throwing merry banter back and forth, Pat could easily see from his post by the window that they were, indeed, fond of each other. Al, having finished his [tie and succeeded in begging a piece of the delic- ious pastry for Pat, with an elaborate mock bow, turned and hurried back toward the house. Catching a glimpse of Pat still standing try the window he made a pre- tense of eating the second piece, which so alarmed Pat that he was led in a merry chase after it through the garden and orchard and back to the house again before he got it. However, much to his disgust, a good half of it had broken off and wa- being eagerly jrecked at by half a dozen pigeons, who had their home in the old Pomroy barn. Pat Stevens, an orphan, had been AI’s roommate at college for two years, so when at the end of their third year Al invited Pat to spend the summer with him, there was no sign of reluctance on the part of Pat. He too had been caught under’s Rhoda’s spell, but, as Ire often admitted to himself and Mrs. Mallory, “a pile of good it did him”. For sometime past the little suburb in which they lived, indeed, the whole ' : 'SRUg ’26 : country was astir over the great struggle taking place in Europe. Both boys and Rhoda often got together and talked it over, discussing it from every angle, and no few disputes were the result. But, nevertheless, they all agreed that America ought to join the allies. So they were prepared when on that evening in July, 1917, a vigorous ringing of the telephone and a few short words told the news. They were jubilant for a few moments, but after the realization of what it would mean came to them, their mood changed and the remainder of the evening was spent in grave discussion. And now all three were in France. Rhoda had been the first to go. Through the influence of her uncle, an official in Washington, she had been allowed to go untrained but yet willing to do anything to help. Pat entered the air service and Allen the infantry. Therefore, both were kept in the training camps Tor some time; yet both were at the scene of action before many months had passed. Rhoda bus- ied herself at many little tasks, rolling bandages, helping ease the hundreds of wounded soldiers which were brought into Paris day after day, and visiting camps and cheering the fellows with her bright smile and witty jokes. She was no Florence Nightingale, nor of as much real service as many others, yet the officials recognized her as invaluable for her ability to carry brightness and cheerfulness wherever she went. Only once did she see Allen during those first long months, and Pat hut twice. Long, dreary, cold, wet days followed one after the other; the roar of the distant guns came clearly to Rhoda as she bustled busily around a hospital writ- ing letters for men, singing, taking temperatures and a hundred useful little jobs. 1 o Pat the guns were less clear, for he and his plane had been sent far to the south f the fighting zone on government business, carrying dispatches. But it was Allan with his ready humor, good nature, and strong determination, who got into the very middle of it. Time after time he had been “over the to]).” each time re- turning with fewer men hut one more victory. For three days it had been raining steadily—everything was wet and cold- slippery mud was everywhere; and gradually the firing from the other side was ceasing. Scout parties were hastily formed: Allen McDowell, now a lieutenant, was placed in charge of one, and the band of six men crept silently out into no- man s-land. I he rain had stopped, hut a heavy mist engulfed the whole shell-shot area. Bending low, they worked silently forward toward the enemies’ lines; some- vhere along which Allan had been informed a machine gun nest was being in- stalled. It was his duty to find this and with the aid of his men to break it up if possible.. No sound was heard except the occasional “pop-pop of a gun far up the line or the muttered curses which slipped from the lips of his men as they stum- bled over the bodies of both friend and foe. As they neared the German trenches A1 ordered the boys to the ground. Then they crawled forward on their stom- achs, their bayonets ready. For half an hour they worked their way along in such a fashion, up and down the line. Keen as the scouts were, they found themselves on top of the nest before they realized it. 'Ibe Germans were aware of their pre- sence before any method of attack could he made, so it was a hasty surprise strug- gle on the ]iart of both groups that took place. But as the Germans numbered two less than Allan's men, it was hut a short time before the nest was demolished and A1 and his men started back leading two prisoners and carrying two of their wounded scouts. But the sound of firing had started a hot assault of bullets turned an their direction. One by one the scouts separated dodging as best they could. A3, prodding a moody German officer in front of him, soon found him- self alone with lus captive. But :as he fel’t confident as to the direction of the A- - mue '26 ©CU£ : merican trenches he felt no alarm. As he was stumbling along through the mist his keen ear heard the sound of moaning a short distance ahead of him. Always cau- tious, 'he first glanced at his prisoner to see that it was no trick of his, and then ordering him to move along, he started toward the sound. It took but a short time to find the man who was lying on his face, evidently badly wounded. 1 urn- ing him over, A1 was taken by surprise, “What! Major Smith! A groan from the wounded man was his only answer. Allan was astounded—that the most valued major in the trenches at the time came to be Tying wounded, alone, and so far from anv allies seemed impossoble. With a prod of his bayonet, A1 told the German to beat it. and be darned glad to get off so easy this time. Then, sure that he was gone, Allan picked up the heavy body of his major and once more started for the American trenches amid the ever increasing rain of shells. Twice he stumbled and fell, the second time tailing so hard that the body of the major was thrown far from him. But before he could regain his feet, shrapnel dashed into the sod directly in front of him tear- ing up the soil and blowing part of his face and body away. He never knew how he and the major were found, nor that lor days he lav unconscious in a little church in a small village a short distance behind the lines, which had been hastily turned into a hospital for the wounded. But when the terrible dizziness finally left hint and he began to remem- ber the horrid experience of two weeks earlier, he was informed that he was in the largest hospital in Paris and that the best of medical care had been given him since his arrival'. It was some time before he realized perfectly that he would never be able to walk. see. or move around again. In spite of the tragedy, Allan tried to make the best of it. More than once his sense of humor brought him out of a state of desjtondency, and his wav of looking on the bright side was invaluable to him, he was informed by the doctor. Rhoda had hurried to his bedside the moment she heard about bis condi- tion. for she was in the city. Although he could not see her, it war a great comfort to have her near. Many hours she spent talking to him about the old times anti trying her best, to make him forget his helplessness. But after she had left, lie would lose his brightness and fall in to deep reveries. This according to the doc- tors, was not for the-best, but try as they did. he sank fewer and lower. Six weeks had passed since his wrecked body had been carried from the battlefield, and as the large numbers of wounded were still pouring into the hos- pitals, Allan had been moved into the home of an elderly French lady.Here he was treated with every consideration, but no improvement was noticed regardless of the change. The cold December days were flying past, and the huge guns still boomed: the trains filled with the dead and wounded still hurried on their way from the battlefield; and Allan still lav on the sick bed. Then suddenly hope filled the hearts of Rhoda and Pat, who had finally received leave to visit his buddy. Allan seemed to brighten; he recognized his friends bv their voices and seemed to make an interest in all about him. But. as is so often the case, this preceeded a long drift into unconsciousness after which followed a week of unbearable i ain. Up until then Allan had clung to life by a mere thread, but at last he gave up. He knew complete recovery vas beyond the ixtssible, and death, he felt, would bring the greatest relief. Despite his two friends' earnest entreaties to “hold on” A1 felt he knew best. Christmas morning dawned bright and clear. Sparkling white snow surround- ed the little cottage where Allan lay, and it seemed as though even the far distant guns felt it to be Christmas, for they were more hushed in their continuous boom. = ‘SRl g ’26 'SLUe : For a few minutes that morning Allen appeared better, but not for long. Pat and Rhoda were again at his bedside, the two faithful, loving friends. Not a word was said; all three felt instinctively that the end was near. Allan felt the presence of each aithough he could not touch them. Finally, with a long l.igh, he said: “You know, this is Christmas-I think God is going to give me a wonderful gift in a few minutes,” and with a smile directed toward the two re- maining friends, he passed away.

Grand finals of a perfect year—school closes May 28. SEVEN YEARS AFTER I he gymnasium of Morton High School was the center of much enthu- siasm and excitement the night the Fort Colby Basket Ball yuint invaded the town in their effort to gain the championship. So clamorous and with such intensity were the school yells given, that no one, not even the door keeper, noticed a short, stubby voungster with red hair and a face studded with freckles silently slip into the balcony. He was too young to be aware of the wrong he was doing, with only the determination of seeing Captain “Cal McMurray, his big brother, retain the championship for Morton. The older boys soon made room for Richard McMurray, the young specta- tor. They all passed remarks and comments on the “passport” the youngster had. 'one of their remarks, however, found lodging in the small boy’s brain for his in- terest in “big” brother was not to be distracted. Morton was practically forced to defeat because of the unsportmanship of on; of their best players, namely Don Hoyt. The “big” brother explained to Richard what that championship meant to Morton High school and what a “black mark” it was to a high school team to have to forfeit a championship game. “Aw, Cal. what do you care about ‘he old game? It wasn't your fault that Fort Colby won. You know Don Hoyt was to blame and if you say so. I’ll go give him the “sweetest black eve you ever seen.” announced Dick when he saw how down hearted his “big brother was. “You’re a fine old scout. Dick, but 1 guess we’II just have to let this slip by. X ‘xt year’s team will surely watch their step, and Fort Colby won’t be honored with the championship. But 1 wish we could have retained it for Morton during my last vear. answered the “big brother pleasantly. “Well, Cal. I bet you no kid will do such a thing when I play for Mor- t n. explained the boy defiantly. Year after year when the eventful day for the Morton-Fort Colby basket ball game came, the s| ectators turned out with the hope of “wiping Fort Colby off the map, but it was with no result. Fort Colby, even though they had retained the champion-hip year after year, still regarded Morton as their bitterest enemies. To give up 'he honor of b ing the be:‘ basketba’l team in the state, was something thev refused to do, even if they had to use foul means. It was just seven years after that unforgetful night when Fort Colby suc- ceeds in their effort to def at their enemies, that once again they stalked into the town to “paint it red. But this year Morton’s five had so far been undefeatable. Their forward, a strapping young boy in his junior year, was none other z RlJd ’2b than Dick, McMurray before spoken of. Dick was all that his brother was and more in regard to a player. Dick had always ikept up his good marks. At the end of the six weeks, the report card he carried home many others would be proud to claim His class- mates held him in high esteem. They showed their appreciation of his ability in bestowing upon him such honors as class officer and captain of the basket ball quint. On the eventful afternoon, Dick had all his players around him to discuss the ) erformance scheduled for that evening. “Now, listen, boys, not a single one of you wants to try anything “funny tonight. The minute Mr. King thinks you're going to get rough, out you go,” warned Dick. They all promised their captain they would play the most sportsmanlike game that ever was played in Morton. No referee was going to get the chance to do what was done five years ago. In the gymnasium that was practically “(lacked , there was such shouting and hollering for the blue and white that everyone in the team realized the amount of school spirit that existed. “Come on, team, do your stuff, let Dick have the ball, and hurrah for Mor- ton, were some of the yells that could be heard. Fort Colby’s Orange and Black” opened the game with a long field goal and a free throw. Morton fought hard but could not prohibit their opponent's long shots. They succeeded in breaking up Fort Colby’s team work and scored with two field balls and a free throw in rapid succession. The second half start- ed with a new spirit; Morton turned to long shots and scored two baskets. But their opponents were not to be outclassed. They regained themselves and brought the score to a tie. In a short conference held three minutes before the final gun was shot, Dick McMurray told his (anting team, “Fellows, we can’t leave it a tie. We —’’ Just then a rousing cheer from the balconies drowned out his hearse whisper. “We can, we can, we know we can! We know we can, we must: we know' we can beat Fort Colby—beat Colby High or bust!” The whistle blew' and the battle was on. In the suspense of that breathless moment while the timer pre- pared to shoot, a Morton man made a long field goal that decided the victory for the Blue and ‘White. “Aw, that”s nothin’, Cal would ha’ done the same thing,' was Dick’s em- barrassed response as the crowd gathered around to congratulate him for making the winning basket.

NOTORIOUS TEACHER UNDER SUSPICION • Excitement prevailed in Hudson High school when it was found that Mias Esther Nyberg of the History department war suspected of raiding the laboratory. Suspicions were first aroused when a slightly decomposed fish was found in Miss Nyberg’s coat pocket. The view is held by many that the object of the theft was to secure trimming for a new hat. She de- clares complete ignorance of the matter. A thorough investigation is being held. Meanwhile the suspect will be kept un- de • close observance to prevent the loss of any more valuable specimens from the lab- oratory. It is 'hoped that this incident will serve as an example to the other teachers. LEAPING LENA and O’HENRY were two lovers true.

I want to say, ‘I have not seen him sense.’ ” Mr. Cooke—(to class): “What senators oppose the world court?” Vincent Trudell1—(after a few minutes): “How do you spell the names of the senat- ors whb oppose the world courc?” Miss Sutherland: “What did you do with the paper plate I gave you with your pie?” Vincent T: “O—mi—igosh, I thought it was the lower crust.” Read “Anxious Moments” by R. U. Com- ing. WILL IT BE HALF BACK RUTH ROBBINS? 1 Shall woman become the leading power in the country? Should a woman take her place with men on a football field? These are questions conf onting Hudson High school upon the graduation of Gordon Robbins, former halflback. It is under- stood that Mr. Robbins has expressed a de- re that his sister, Ruth Robbins, succeed him on the field. Supporters of Mr. Rob- bins are anxious to see his wish carried out. “We have the utmost confidence in Miss Robbins,” ’they assert, “and we ex- pect to see her step into tlhe halfback’s shoes next fall and carry on the cause with 'he greatest success. Her brother’s re- commendation is ample proof to us of her ability. ’ Those who take the opposite stand are equally strong in their convictions. Ac- cord ng to the “Hudson Star Disturber” they say, “Is it right that a woman should w ench away one more position which erst- while belonged solely to men? Is it not enough that woman supercertes men in in- du try, the home, and the barber shop? We have but one answer in this—yes! Miss Robbins rfiall become a halfback only over our dead bodies.” Those who urge Miss Robbins’ succession o hor brother’s position advance the fact that .here is a decided scarcity of male foo'ball players. ‘ “If men are not available for the posi- tion of ha fback. or othe ■ positions on the team,” they argue, “women will soon un them ou. oif business.” Mr. Bargen: “What is a vacuum, Emil?” Emil A: “— Well, I have it in my head but I can t express it.” Miss Powers. “Lawrence, will you read your poem?” Lawrence W: I saw a pretty lady Strolling beneath the trees. She stepped into a puddle, Clear up to her shoetops.” Miss Powers: “But Lawrence, your poem doesn’t rhyme.” Lawrence: “I know it. The puddle wasn’t deep enough.” Prof. James Penman of Hudson High school has discovered that if you took all the pretzels in the world and put them in a straight line you copldn’t do it. Professor of Astronomy: “ That star is Venus. It was named after a very beau- tiful woman.” Small Voice From Class: “Was that the star the wise men followed?” THE DISHONEST SCRAP STUDENTS PLAN TO STUDY COSMETICS The outcries over Hudson High school’s monopoly on brains have at last produced action. The largest corporation is com- posed of the nine girls in the Physics class who control approximately 98 per cent of the brains of Hudson High school. The view taken by the Great American Public is that a complete change in the cu riculnm of the school should be made. The plan con emolates the establishment of classes in “Problems of a Popular Girl,” History and Herstory,” “Modem and An- cient Slanguages,” and the “Cosmetic Course.” The four are to be made com- pulsory. This Change is confidenti- expected to bring about : he desired result of fewer and blanker minds. Aileen F: “Gee, but vou look cute today, Pee.” Peg Lundeen: “Really?” Ai.een: “Ob, can’t you take a joke?” Ann M: “We must be going; I felt a raindrop.” Nolan J: “Nonsense, we a e under a weeping willow.” SCHOOL RULES 1.
