Lillian 1 uller took third place in Junior Typing with a speed of 48. The; e three girls will represent us at the State Contest at Whitewater, May 14. DEBATE Hudson again competed in the annual triangular debate. The affirm- ative team was composed of Jay Cross, Margaret Nelson and Harry Burton. They were defeated by New Richmond at New Richmond and by Hammond, here. The negative team was composed of Jerome Trudell and Clara Gunderson and Frederick Sawyer. This team journeyed to River Falls and met with defeat. Baldwin came to visit this team and were served with a defeat. In spite of the fact that not many victories were won by the teams, it may well he said that the teams have worked hard and faithfully under the direction of Mr. Weatherhead, and pre- sented their arguments in a very convincing manner. SENIOR FREAK DAY One of the events most enjoyed by underclassmen in our high school is Senior break Day, when the dignified Seniors gather together clothes of every description and promenade through the halls and classrooms. '1 his year there were twenty-eight of these on the eventful day, April 8, and some of them deserve honorable mention. Howard Wright wore a bright red outfit with a green tie. Along with this he wore a small black derby which just fit the top of his head. Hazel Mullen, another worthy of mention, wore a green and black striped waist over a yellow skirt. 1 his skirt came to the floor and no doubt gathered a great deal of dust from the high school floors. Everett Sandeen wore an Irishman’s outfit. We all agree that he makes a good Irishman although the color of his hair is very unusual in that race. ()thers wore children’s dresses, over-alls and old-fashioned dresses. We, the Senior class, are glad that we can entertain the rest of the high school.

TRUE BLUE 15 TO SENIORS OF TWENTY-SEVEN One by one the years have passed, One by one the moments fall, Some are coming, but we are going, Leaving soon these dear old halls. One by one new duties wait us, into different lines we each will pass; Soon new occupations will serve to part us; We, who now are the Senior Class. One by one new friends we ll meet with, As farther from our school we’ll go; One by one new faces greet us, That in time we'll learn to know. One by one, through all the cares Of high school days we’ve passed together, First as freshmen now as seniors, Many a storm our friendship’s weathered. Every hour that’s passed so slowly, Now at last has reached its end, As through the years we’ve struggled soulv To reach the goal on which we stand. But. often in our hearts regretting The passing of these carefree days, Remembering ever, ne’er forgetting The happiness of high school days. And so our voices, one by one, We raise in loyal cheer to heaven, That in memory, you’ll hold dear This departing class of twentv-seven. G. M.
