v' U TffUE===g 3' =BLUE - m. • ' % ELIZABETH PETERSON School Nurse The services of the school nurse have done more to eliminate contagious diseases and increase school attendance than any other one factor. Three years ago Hudson had a very serious epidemic of scarlet fever which seemed out of control. New cases seemed to break out in spite of all that the school could do. This was due to the fact that many children had mild cases, a doctor was not called and, after being out for a few days, children returned to school and spread the disease. 1 he nurse was able to check these cases in the home. Much progress has been made in the health of our children due to the co-operation of the local health department, the doctors, the physical education department and the nurse. Children are examined periodically. Bad tonsils, adenoids and bad teeth are brought to the attention of the parents. In the great majority of cases, these handicaps have been corrected. Weight records are kept. Underweight children are given milk to help correct undernourishment. Posture tests are given and remedial work advised. If a child is out of school more than a day the nurse visits the home to determine the cause of absence. In this way any contagious disease is checked before it enters the school. In many cases the nurse has been able to render valuable social service aid in bringing to the attention of the authorities the need of food and clothing in some of the homes. Truancy is also decreased by this close supervision. Miss Elizabeth Peterson has served as school nurse for the past two and a half years. Her energetic endeavors and kindly attitude have done much to increase the general health of the children of Hudson. Health is the first of the seven cardinal principles of education. The mind must be housed in a sound, strong body if we are to get adequate returns for the money spent for education. 13 —E. P. R.

 ' U ✓ V - Vf ' TffUE=---£ 3' BLUE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY President..... Vice-President Secret ary.... Treasurer..... Class Advisor. Raymond Casanova .....Warren Pavis ..Mabel Johnson ......Lillian Toiler ........Mias Linder When the class of ’28 entered High School in 1924 we were fifty-five in all. We were green Freshmen, as the saying is, but by our varicus experiences in the past four years we have overcome this “greenness” to a certain extent. But in one respect we consider ourselves greener now than we did then, realizing how little we know in comparison with what there is to know. We can truthfully state that our class has ably done its share in supporting the activities, and keeping up the spirit and reputation of Hudson High School. Our class, we are proud to say, has not been a one-year class. It has taken advantage of all four years of High School life to put forth every effort to show its loyalty to the school of which it is a part. The hearty co-operation and encouragement shown the other classes by the Seniors has helped to encourage cutside activities as well as create more interest in the daily curriculum. This assistance was not given by a few, but practically all of the present members of our class, which now numbers about forty, who realized the truth in the fact of beginning to work in the Freshmen year. We have, therefore, numerous stars, who have made our class one of the fore- most in the history of Hudson High. Some of our most outstanding “Bright Lights” are: In athletics.—John Yoerg and Audrey Daniels: in music—Evelyn Roland and Ethel Neiman: in debate—Lillian Iuller and Jay Cross: and in declamatory—Mar- garet Burkholder. Lura Ross, Audrey Daniels. Mabel Johnson and Arthur Sandeen have given invaluable assistance in editing this True Blue. All of the above named Seniors will be greatly missed within the walls of Hudson High next year. The time they gave, the extra svork and effort which they voluntarily offered in loyalty and trueness to their school, shows the spirit in which thev attended High School, not for the mere purpose of getting through in their studies but for doing something for their school as well by exerting themselves a little more than is required. We feel that our success, to a great extent, is due to the hearty co-operation given us by the members of the faculty throughout the four years of our High School life. They have given us that added help and inspiration that will aid us in later years. We have appreciated it greatly and certainly shall never forget it. To our class advisers. Miss Kreitsburg, Mr. Cooke, Miss Rewey, and last but not least, our Senior class advisor. Miss Linder, we render our most heartfelt thanks. I M ]
