Miss Schoonover The staff f r 'e Miniature True Blue was chosen by Robert Clapp, the class president. Miss Schoonover, the adviser, and Mr. Rock. It was extremely difficult to limit the stalT to just the number needed because of the real worth of so many who volunteered their services. Due to the lack -if funds this year, the regular True Blue was abolished, and this smaller edition was published in its place. Nevertheless all of the important features of the True Blue were retained and many interesting new features were added. The staff has earnestly tried to put out an annual of interest to everyone, and if they have succeeded at a 1. they shall be amply repaid. We wish to take this opportunity t. thank the contributors to the Community Chest, the members of the faculty, and the student body for their support. FOREWORD The Senior Class has tried to replace our regular True Blue, which was disposed of due to lack of funds, by briefly summarizing our activities for the year. The aim has been to make it a Senior-Athletic Number. Hudson High Faculty Seniors Athletics Feature CONTENTS DEDICATION Toiler, in appreciation of her efforts in the in- terests of our class; whose patience has been an inspiration to her students, and whose charming personality has won the friendship of the entire student body-to MISS BLANCHE SCHOONOVER we dedicate this 1933 MiniatureTrue Blue HUDSON HIGH SCHOOL To be educated means to be human in its broadest sense, to have a healthy interest in the various activities of life, and to contribute a share to the progress of the community.

Many are in distress, yet we should consider ourselves fortunate in having the opportunity to build our future foundati n during a time when we may have first hand experience in how a great comp ex social structure may be thrown out of gear by the greed and short sightedness of men. During times ! plenty we are apt to lose the proper proportions and appreciati ns of what con- stitutes real success and satisfaction. Service to our fellow men is after ail the true goal f ;r all. The deep and lasting satisfactions of ife come from rendering service with a song in our hearts and a smile on our lips. ‘in actual fact, it is the man who sets out to see how life can be made simpler, more comf stable, more agreeable to his fe.low-bJngs who finds most often he has set his feet on the path to fortune.” (Stanwood Cobb.) “If a man write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better m use trap than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.” (Emerson) EDW ARD I ROCK FACULTY HENRY BARCEN ANN MUREI1Y B.

Andrew was horn in Acre, Norway about fifty miles from Oslo. In 1880 he came to America and became engaged in the lumber business at River halls, lie came to Hudson in 1890 where he also worked at lumbering, until in 1919 when lie was employed at our school as janitor. I his spring he is to he pen ioned as a reward for his many years as an efficient worker. He and Mr. Rock were employed by the local board the same year. “Andrew as everyone calls him savs: “During the years I spent in Hudson, I have received excellent treatment from teachers and students. I count Mr. Rock as one of my best friends. It has become necessary for me to resign, hut I do so with many regrets. Andrew will he missed by everyone because of his pleasant words, cheerful disposition, and willingness to be of service. REPRESENTATIVE SENIOR ROBERT CLAPP “Give to your school the host you have and the best will come hack to you. The above quotation may well be applied to the faculty’s choica of representative senior; viz., Robert Clapp. He has given the best that he has in scholarship, character, leadership and loyalty, so it is with the greatest pleasure that this honor is conferred upon him, who so well des:rves it. The words of Joseph Addison seem to express the senti- ment of the faculty in relation to Robert’s school ta.ecr: Tis not in mortals to command success But we’ll do more. Sempronius; we'll deserve it . HONOR STUDENTS Class of i Q33 | I I I I ROBERT CLAPP GEORGE JOHNSTON MARJORIE ENGEBRETSON LAURETTA KVOOL MARJORIE MENNES .

It is a story of abundant youth, based in a most amusing way on the “Inferiority Complex” of John Miller. John Miller is a bashful student at Ohio State who feels that noth- ing he attempts can he successful. He has attempted t give expression to a suppressed desire by striking up a “blind” correspondence with Julia Winters, beauty contest winner at Wisconsin, whose picture he has seen in the papers. Julia comes to Columbus, Ohio to find John, analyzes his inferior complex, and en- courages him to become most “dangerously” bold. John, who is somewhat of an athlete, is put into the relay race of the Ohio- Wisconsin meet. He is responsible for winning the event and. with this, the meet for Ohio. John now rises above himself and really becomes somebody. He becomes a fraternity man, wins his ‘ lady love”, and is really surprised t learn what talents he actually ]x)ssesses. The play portrays many incidents typical of college life such as college songs, enthusiasm for athletics, and fraternity life. The cast includes all the types of p ople one might expect to find on a college campus. The play was produced by special permission of Samuel French, New York. SENIOR CLASS SONG Now comes May with fragrance and with beauty With tender green and wealth of budded sprays, But, oh, it tells us high scho 1 days are over And whispers low the parting of our ways. The years we’ve spent in old Hudson High School— Nor time nor change shall make their memory fade. Here we have worked and builded f r the future. With eager hands, a sure foundation we have laid. ( 'll, Hope is fair! and golden years are calling But deeji within our hearts dwell memories, Dear high school days we spent in old Hudson Oft will return bourne on the spring-time breeze. And when the night has shed her tend r mantle. Oh, then in dreams come classmates loved f yore And smiles for gav days, tears for the shadows. Bring us the treasures that live for evermore. SENIOR CLASS HISTORY You might say that our high school career started with a “ducking”, and front then on things began to happen. We carried off first place for our float in the homecoming parade, and showed in many ways that we did not deserve to he called “green . Gudrun Grimm won the Christmas story prize for underclass- men, and Robert Stevenson represented us on the basketball teat!:. In our second year we won the all-school tournament and then trounced the faculty 29-9 in a basketball game. Remember Lars? In this year we had five fellows on the high school basketball squad and won the District Championship. Stevenson, Engebretson, Clapp and Lystad. We also furnished valuable material for the musical organizations. Then in our Junior year we put on a Junior Promenade which won great praise. Surely it ranked as one of the best ever given here. The third year also witnessed another basketball championship which resulted in a trip to Madison for the fellows. At the class day exercises we downed the Seniors in baseball 7-1, and we won the bloody battle for the bags. Now we are the Seniors of '33 and find ourselves looking back with pleasure at our four years in Hudson High. We have always had a very good repre- sentation in the musical organizations of the school. Our girls have been promi- nent in the G. A. C. and the boys in the Hi-Y . I his past year we have composed the greater part of the football team and the basketball team for the first semes- ter. Vernon Lystad was football captain, and he and Wayne Johnson j intlv captained the second semester team. Much of our success we owe to Miss Schoonover wh has been our adviser for the past two years, and to her we extend our best wishes for a happy future and give many thanks for what she has d me for us. v 28 SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY Twas in the year 2033 that we hoarded our huge air liner hound for Mars. At the doorway sat chic litt’.e Ruth Jensen, alias Kate Smith, collecting tickets. Great Heavens! We had forgotten to purchase tickets! We were about to he ousted by two vicious-looking officers, Tommy Kees and Henry Lombard when along comes General Lou Lystad, formerly known as ‘ Swede,” and his military aide, Herb Robinson, who was carrying a massive chest containing the General's numerous medals. After conversing shortly with the first and second mates, D nald Boody and Freeman Michaelson, who, by the way, were handsomely at- tired, the General bade us enter. We complied with the greatest alacrity. After registering for state rooms we set out in search of amusement, for now we were about 10,000 miles from the earth. In one room a former All- American halfback. Hon Cameron, was valiantly endeavoring to show two pretty young ladies, Ruth Hughes and Bertha Jensen, the finer p ints of the game. Ruth tackled Bertha, laying her out cold. The Stewart, Otto Gunderson, sud- denly appeared out of nowhere with a pitcher of cold water, which he unceremon- iously poured on Bertha’s face. Having revived her, we strolled into an adjoining room. Here a great fight was being waged between two big grunt-and-groan men, Bob Stevenson and Alt’ Engebretson. When the fight was waxing hottest, Alf’s wife (nee Avis Solheim) entered with a rolling pin and forcibly reprimanded the young man for not staying home and tending the kiddies. The decision was given to Steve by the referee, Jack O’Connell, who a short time previous had been hurled out of the room by the enraged gladiators. In the auditorium the play “Quentin Durward” was being presented under the direction of the widely-known playwright, Gudrun Grimm. Bob Sandeen as Quentin, was orating forcibly wh.n the two Countesses, Dorothy Johnson and Mary Dorwin, entered. All went well until Quentin kissed the wrong Countess. Then Gudrun, muttering deep curses under her breath, motioned Violet Johnson and Lauretta Kvool to pull the curtains. This they did after both had tripped over the ro] e and rolled out onto the stage. Soft music reached our ears. Tracing it to its source, we entered a night club. Wayne (King) Johns n and his “Band of a Thousand Me’odies” furnish- ed the music. Of a sudden Wayne lifted his baton and all was silent. The floor show was about to commence. First the Overbye sisters came into the center of the floor and gave a toe-dance which was exceedingly difficult. Th y were vig irously applauded as they made their exit. Next E’more Anderson and Rearlie Pfister demonstrated a Spanish tango. This they accomplished with great ease and grace. After their exit Marj. Engebretson, Alice Barrett, June Anderson, and Audrey Turskey skipped in and gave a modern version of the hulu-hulu dance. At the request of the audience they repeated. Tom Simonson and Lynos Simps n, cornetists in Wayne’s orchestra, played a duet in excellent fashion. Then Wallv Baillon, recognized as the world’s greatest xylophone ... player, contributed two numbers to the great delight of the audience. The show was concluded with the singing of ‘ Who's Your Sugar Pappy?” and “How’m I doin’?” by the Three Shades in Pink, Dorothy Brunner, Dorothy Erickson and Helen Hansen. Don Covell and Boh Clapp, propriet rs of the night club, were ap| arently pleased with the show, for they distributed five-cent cigars among the male members of the crowd. Finally, we reached Mars. Immediately we sought out Dodo Johnston and his wife (nee Marjorie Mennes) who were spending the summer at their cot- tage. We were directed by a martial cop, Jessie Lundeen, to their residence. Upon our arrival Rubv Rossing, the housekeeper, opened the door. We greeted the happy couple fondly and were then introduced to the President of Mars, Ruth Noreen, and her adviser Dorothy Pratt, who were staying with them for a few days. Having reached our destination, and as we had no other place in view, we had no desire but to remain for an extended visit—which we did.

Thirty-three men reported the first night and most of them stayed out the rest of the season. Vernon Lystad, our very capable captain, play.d right end. S ion the oppon- ents learned to keep their plays out of his territory. lie was an excel lent defensive player who never missed his man. I.eslie Malloy held down the right tackle position. I.;s. broke thr ugh the op]x nent s line in fine style, lie was a hard worker who surelv secured good results. Bob “Swede Sandeen was ur center, lie had th - knack of spinning the ball back the way it should be done. Bob was a big fellow that our opponents didn’t want to meet. Hank Lombard, Lft guard, played his position very well. He was re- liable never off. 1 le was small but full of fight. Verv few plays came through “Hank’s” position. Freeman Michaelson, ‘Big Mike , “hit ’em low and held ’’em”. “Mike used his height and strength in the best possible manner. A fellow' hit In- Mike would do all in his power to evade him the second time. Elmore “B indy” Anderson showed us what fight was. lie could take the knocks and seemed to like them. His position as left end was as a stonewall to the op])onents. Bob Clapp was one of the best, if n it the best, quarterback Hudson has ever had. He used his head and always pulled the team through a tight hole. He was injured in the New Richmond game, and though his loss was keenly felt ayne Johnson piloted the team through in great style. Curley knew just when to work a certain fellow. He used good judgment in all his plays. Alt'ie Engebretson, right half, used his s|ieed more than once to make a touchdown. He could run, pass, and tackle as well as any player in this confer- ence. Alfie’s smile won him the admiration of his opponents more than . nee. Don Cameron, who played fullback after Steve received a broken collar- b -ni. payed football as it should be d me. He was a hard-hitter but hard to be taken out by opixments. He smashed the line with eveiy ounce of drive a fellow could wish to see ’Steve got the breaks (in the bones) again this year. His favorite eollar- b ne was broken in a hard drive through the center of the Ellsworth line. Steve could always lie dejiended u]xin to back up the line. Steve will be missed very much next year. JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL Members of the squad are: ends—Kenneth Zahler, R bert Cameron ; tackles— Robert Koenig, F.dward Lyksett: guards—-Lester Simpson, Irving Letts: center— George Young; left half—Thompson: right half—-Carl Hjelseth; fu lback—Dean Lyksett; quarterback—Wallace Lystad. The reserves were: Alt in Stevenson, Norman Anderson, Cevelius Bvlander, John Hughes, CLrhard Behm, Marvin Marvold, Wayne Arntson. The Junior High School has made noteworthy records for the past three vears. During this time they have played thirteen games, in which they have never been defeated or scored upon. The first game of the season was played at Roberts. The Hudson Team had no trouble in winning 42-0. Ellsworth was the next victim, falling before the scrappy little Blue-jerseyed Squad 13-0. The op]x nents had a much heavier team, but could not cope with Hudson’s plays. The Junior High next went to New Richmond, trouncing them at their Homecoming by a 6-0 score. They next met their old rivals, River Falls, and took them into camp 47-0. In this game Hudson displayed everything: trick plays, passes, and a mighty defense. In the last game of the season River Falls presented a much-improved team, but again Hudson emerged victorious 19-0. The four backfield men were outstanding, doing much to gain the victories. Many of the players played their last game for the Junior High this season, in- cluding Captain Lystad and Dean Lyksett, who have made notable records during their three years of play. Mr. Walhrandt, the coach, deserves much of the credit for the team’s suc- cessful season. He worked with them two nights each week trying to perfect their plays which later proved to be the factor in rolling up impressive scores. JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL Those who reported for Junior High Basketball this year and served as regulars are: forwards—Finer Edstrom, Don Thompson, and Lester Simpson; guards—Wallace Lystad (Capt.), Kenneth Zahler, I a Verne Johnson, and Alton Stevenson; center—George Young.

T “A” SQUAD BASKETBALL -1932-33 j The basketball team the past season has enjoyed a fairly succ ssful year. j 'Filings looked rosy the first semester, hut after the four ‘vet.rails . Bob Clapp, j Boh Sand en, Bob Stevenson, and AI f Engebretson graduated in mid-year, the j team had to reorganize. Mr. Rude did an excellent job, selecting and training a j team which worked well and which, toward the end of the season, became a j potent c intender for the District Championship. In the two elimination games { Hudson was obliged to play, the team emerged victorius, trouncing Ellsworth 23 j to 17, and defeating Prescott 26 to 18. In the tournament Hudson d wned I lam- j niotid in the first round of play 30 to 17, but lost in the semi-finals to a fine I River Falls team, 17 to 14. I Wayne Johnson was the scoring star counting 14 or 15 jioints every game. | Vernon Lvstad was the star defense man, and did excellent work on offense. j Elmore Anderson, Ed. Michaels.m, and Peter Strom were fighters who did much | to bring glorv to Hudson. Strom returns next year to captain the Blue and j White Quintette. Red Burkholder, Ed. Hartnett, Billy Baillon and Harry j Johnson were valuable reserve men, and will probably gain regular births next j year. I These fellows constitute a team Hudson may well he proud of, and their accomplishments far exceeded the highest hopes of the fans. Congratulations to these fellows and Mr. Rude for their splendid work. , “B” SQUAD BASKETBALL “B” Basketball has always found much encouragement in our school. i Every year there was a large group of fellows who wanted to play on that squad. t This year was not an exception. ! We had a splendid team this year that uncovered a good supply of material j for the teams of the future. Although they didn’t win all of their games, they showed us that they could he go d losers as well as winners. After all it is the j sportsmanship of the game and not the points that should make it interesting. | Much of the credit and thanks for the success of the “B” team is due to I Miss Kidd who generously donated much of her own time to the squad. “B” Basketball was dropped early in the second semester, nevertheless Mr. , Rude, coach of the ‘ V’ Team saw enough of the ability of Chester Birkmose j and Donald Olson to “take them up” on the “A” team. j BASEBALL—1932 Hudson 4, Somerset 9 11 udson 16, Somerset 5 Hudson 8, New Richmond 7 Hudson 1, Colfax 7 Hudson 12, Prescott 4 Hudson 5, New Richmond 6 Hudson 24, Prescott 7 Hudson 6, Colfax 3 Baseball made a good comeback here last year. It was very successful and proved that with a little enthusiasm Hudson c uld turn out a real baseball team. A large number of men rejx rted for baseball this year, although a few of the fellows were delayed a little because of spring football practice. I his year the fellows were determined to make baseball a major sport in I [udson. I hev showed us that baseball could furnish as much excitement as football or basket ball. Henry Lombard, captain of this year’s team is a two year letterman. I he baseball team had a very successful season in 1932. All the games were go d, and one goes down in history because it was so unusual a game. The first New Richmond game was played on the home fie’d. When the sixth inning ended the score was 7 to 2 in favor of New Richmond. We came up to hat and the first two fellows were struck out. The sc res started coming in for our side. Our score mounted to 8 when the inning ended. This left the score 8 to in favor of the blue and white. 1'he lettermen f r the '32 team were Henry Schullo, infield; Robert Sandeen. infield; Donald Cameron, infie'd; Alf Engebretson, outfield or pitcher: Russel Lvksett, outfield: Vernon Lystad, outfield or pitcher: captain-elect Henry Lombard, catcher; (I ne Reaudry, infield; John Sawyer, pitcher; Ed Michaelson, infield or outfield. Of these Schullo, Cameron. Lystad, Lombard and Michaelson will be back to represent the blue and white in 1933. The success for the 1932 season was due to the splendid work on the part of the fellows and their coach. Miss Kidd. The American Legion generously furnished the suits for the players. To that organization Hudson High owes much in the encouragement of baseball as a major sport. GIRLS’ ATHLETIC CLUB SENIOR G. A. C. OFFICERS Prrsidcnt .............

Under the excellent supervision of Miss Kidd our clubs have prospered and accomplished much this year. -I 39 THE GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT The girls displayed more pep and enthusiasm over the tournament this jiast season than they have in many years. The t ams. especia ly the Freshman and Sophomore teams showed much improvement; consequently, the games were evenly contested. The first night of the tournament the Seniors defeated the Junior High 14 to 2. Although the game was one-sided, we saw that the Junior High had good prospects. The smooth running, cooperative Junior team won the game by a score of 27 to 11. The next game was an easy one for the Juniors. Lois Gregerson, the cap- tain. used many of her substitutes. They defeated the Junior High 28 to 2. The Freshman-S. phomore game was a closely matched contest with both the teams displaying good i«issing ability and accurate shooting. This game, in turn, was followed by a complete victory for the Sophomores, and because the rare ability of the Sophomore forwards, Polly Melton, Jane Gillen and Wilma Ruesink, they defeated the Junior High 50 to 0. The Junior-Senior game was a hard fought battle from beginning to end. At the half .the Juniors led by a margin of 7 to 1. but the Seniors came hack strong and threatened to win. until in the last few seconds of the game. The score stood Juniors 14—Seniors 11. The Junior High again lost hv a larger score on a battle with the Freshmen, the score being 49 to 10. I he game between the Sophomores and Seniors was an interesting, hard- fought game, with the Sophomores winning by the low score of 7 to 4. Wiltna Ruesink made the seven points for the Sophomores, while Dorothv Fricks n made the 4 points for the Seniors. ()n the final day of the tournament the Seni rs and Freshmen played for third and fourth places and the Juniors and Sophomores for first and second places. The Freshmen defeated the Seniors hv a score of 11 t 8, and the well- organized Junior team walked away with the Girls’ Basketball Championship by trimming the Sophomores 24 to 8. 1 bus ended another tournament with the Juni rs once more taking all honors. Members on the winning Junior team are Lois Gregerson, captain. Fleanore Melton, Marion Hawkins, Edith Sweet, Edna O’Brien, Alice Hansen and Mildred Yost.

FEATURE SECTION MILES OF SMILES I look at the satire section And laugh at each worthy joke For I find they are never aimed at me But always at other folks. But every one else enjoys them too And nobody kicks a fuss; Now everyone’s laughing at everyone else Say—lots must he laughing at us. Remember way back in the “ancient history” of our class when these hap- pened ? Mr. Dahl: (talking to the orches- tra) Tn the symphony I heard last night it was marvelous how eighty men died away on that last note.” ' Miss Ixe: (addressing girls’ study hall) “Who has the ‘Man with the Iron Hand’?” Miss Alton: “Jessie, tell us the storv in the ‘Scholastic’ written by lacks.” lessie Lundeen: (wrinkling up her n se) “Oh, I don’t like to tell stories.” Miss Mathews: “Donald, give me the weaknesses of the Articles of Con- federation.” Donald Boody: “I haven’t any weaknesses. I have defects. Miss Schoonover: (watching a bi- ology student laboriously attempting to sketch a bee’s comb from a model) ‘ Now you realize how hard the bees have to work, don’t you.?” Miss Alton: “Gareth knocked Mor- ning Star off his horse. He didn t hurt him, but sent him hack to Ar- thur’s court.” Miss Schoonover: (talking to the biology class members who were di- secting frogs) ‘ hen you are through, put your hearts in this jar and preserve them for future use.” FIRM NAMES O'Connell and Arnquist Stevenson and Bann Quarnes and Thompson Aide and Halberg Strom and Gillen Engebretson and Solheim TREACHEROUS WAVES Little Mildred had just had her first dip in the “drink’ . “How did you like it, dearie?” ask- ed her mother, as she fastened the lit- tle six-year-old’s frock. Mildred glar- ed at the sparkling sea with much annoyance. “I didn't like it at all, mother,” she replied coldly. “I sat on a wave and went through.” THERE’S A REASON Young Husband: “Last night, when I got home, my wife had my chair drawn up before the fire, my slippers ready for me to put on, my pipe filled, and— Cvnic: “How did you like her new hat?” In the parlor were three Jack, parlor lamp, and Helen Marie Three were a crowd without a doubt So the parlor lamp went out. A devoted son is one who permits his father to drive his own car once in a while. “Alf certainly is around Avis a lot.” ‘ So’s his old arm.” “That’s enough from you,” said the farmer as he finished milking the cow. At a m ick breakfast Esther Mi- chaelson said, “We will have a moment of silent grace.” Margaret Clair: “What do we say now ?” 41 Peggy; “How could you live with- out me ?” Wayne: “Cheaper.” ‘ How much for the saxaphone?” “Three hundred dollars.” “My, what a 1 it of monev to ‘blow in'.” Landlady: ‘And what’s wrong now ?” Freeman Michaelson: “I just want- ed to say that I think you get too much mileage out of this roller towel.” WISDOM OF YOUTH From Sch Jolboy’s Science Papers The earth makes a resolution every twenty-four hours. 1 he difference between air and wa- ter is that air can be made wetter and water cannot. We are now masters of steam and eccentricity. Things that are equal to each other are equal to everything else. Gravity is chiefly valuable in au- umn, when the apples are falling off the trees. 1 he axis of the earth is an imagin- ary line on which the earth takes its daily routine. A parallel straight line is one which if produced to meet itself does not meet. Electricity and lightning are of the same nature, the only difference being that lightning is several miles long while electricity is only a few inches. � BOILED DOWN BIOGRAPHY Prof: “Tell me one or two things about John Milton.” Pupil: “Well, he got married and wrote Paradise Lost’.
