THE STORY “The Po r Nut is a most entertaining comedy of college life. 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
