Contents Dedication Administration Representative Senior Underclassmen Athletics Music Features Dedication In recognition of the many fine educa- tional advantages they have given us, and in appreciation of the splendid spirit in which they have so often sacrificed in order to make our education possible, we dedicate this hook to the Citizens of 1ludson. Board of Education CECIL E. DAY Director of the Hoard—Served since 1927 MRS. RUTH B. HUGHES Clerk of the Board—Served since 1921 LOUIS BLEGAN Treasurer of the Board Served since 1916 Education W hat has the depression done to our ideas of education? Has the inability of High School and College graduates to obtain positions during this time of stress caused us to wonder if education really pays ? Are we discouraged when we see thousands of college bred men and women either without jobs altogether or else working side by side, for low wages, at manual labor with those who have little or no education, and often find preference given to the latter be- cause perhaps they can display more brawn? It is .ine in theory to laud education and art for arts sake, especially in times of prosperity, but the children of the educated man must eat during depression years as well as the laboring man's child, and education must show a practical side as well as the cultural side. Is it doing so today? W ithiii the last year several million people have been absorbed back into industry. Who are they? Has the percentage of re-em- ployment of those with education been higher or lower than those without education? Investigation shows that those who, because of their high school or college education, are best able to produce capable and efficient work are the ones who are being taken into industry at this time. This means that education does pay because it trains both the mind and the body, and the man who has had this kind of training is the practical man who comes out on top, even in these uncertain times, and in this era of specialization. G. E. DAY Greetings to the Class of 194 The class of 1934 is emerging from its first phase of forma! education at a very difficult time. Four long years of chaos have been completed in our economic and social structure. W e think we see a rav of light in the distance which fills us with new hope for the new day. ()ur paths have been winding and filled with obstacles. Many changes have taken p ace and perhaps many moie are to come. The young people emerging from this scene, however, are scheduled to play an important part in this new era. You may have felt, at times, that you were indeed being penalized in many ways unjustly. The privilege of living through and experiencing first hand the rapid social and economic changes and the knowledge that you may play an important role, if you will, in building and shaping the new day, should compensate you in a large measure for any privation or hardship that you have suffered mentally or physically. The civilization of any generation is as good or as bad as its people. Determine to play your part in the building for a better civilization . This you can do only by preparing adequately for the battle. Be ever alert and willing to learn and do your part. Select your goal or objective early and then work for it. Advice for a good and fruitful life may be stated briefly in these lines by Henrv Van Dvke— Pour things a man must learn to do If he would make his recorc true; To think without confusion clearly; To love his fellow men sincerely; To act from honest motives purely: To trust in God and Heaven securely.” EDW ARD I'.

Breaking away from custom, instead of expending the entire amount on one gift, the class voted to place the money into a trust fund with the provision that each year thereafter until the funds were exhausted a suitable award should be purchased to be presented at Commencement to the repr 'sent itive senior. Beginning with the class of 1928 the faculty has selected the person whom they thought best represented the characteristics a high school graduate should possess, to receive the aware. Among the characteristics considered worth-while are character, of a quality in keeping with the student’s age and training; a knowledge of right from wrong, a desire to seek more knowle Ige with the guidance of parents, teachers, and superiors: a certain deeree of leTcl rship and independence of others; the ability to live well with oth r people; a determination to lend wholesome lives, and broadmindedness enough to appreciate that all work no matter how humble is as important for u� e welfare of a community as the position of a higher rank. Because Marion Hawkins has acquired so many of these traits as well as many others equally desirable, and at the same time main- lame� a splend.d rcholaMic rating she was chosen by this year’s faculty to be the Representative of the Class of 1934.

FRESHMEN—1930-'31 Furtively, the class of 1934 bravely entered the school—and Oscar's tank! After much sput- tering. the Freshmen fell into their proper places and assumed the necessary admiration toward their superiors. Still keeping this hero worship, the Freshies apologetically won first prize for budget sales and entered many ac- tivities. Contrary to their supposed timidity, six members went out for the football team, four boys and six girls entered the rleld of bas- ketball, ant. twenty-one joined the musical or- ganization. Eloquently and energetically one Freshie won first place in the declamatory con- test. The class must be congratulated for un- covering a future novelist, who won first prize in the Christmas story contest. The class was capably led by Edmund Michaeison, president; Eleanor Melton, vice president; Catherine Nagel, secretary; VVinford Holt, treasurer; and Miss Miller, adviser. The Freshies nave asserted that their greenness is only skin deep, and they promise to prove this in the future! SOPHOMORES—1931-'32 Throwing his now faded given hut in the ring the gallant sophomore reentered the battle with the educational elements. Sophomores are a sophistkated and a lofty body of students according to an old adage. This class was no exception to the rule. Igorously they entered all fields In face of monopolies by the upper-clasrm n. To get down to bare facts—yes, and even reep r than that—the Sophomore class was well represent- ed in every act.vlty. The footlall team. 1 asket- ball team. forensics, and musi ai organizations could not have functioned without their valu- able assistance. Their representative in the Student Counc‘1 were the following: ICdna O’Brien, president; Robert Quarnes. vice president; clarion Haw- kins, secretary: George Mullen, treasurer; and Miss Alton, ai.viser. In spite of their many hard battles, the Sophs come through with a nappy outlook on their two remaining years in Hudson High.

JUNIORS—1932-' 33 Our class, after recuperating from the ef- fects of its former shyness, entered the school life whole heartedly in the fall of 1932. It even acquired an air of sophistication in advance of its age. Many of the members felt no qualms when addressing a group, and therefore accom- plished much in forensics. A number endured the ups and downs of football, basketball, base- ball and matrimonial competition. With the following class otfic rs in charge of arrangements, the Junior Prom was carried off successfully: Ruby Mennes, president: Rob- ert Quarnes. vice-president; IC na O’Brien, sec- retary; Catherine Nagel, treasurer; Miss Lee, adviser. Daring to be unconventional, the Juniors completely transformed the gymnasium from its usual staid appearance into a hotel lobby with a Mezzanine floor on the balcony, where refreshments were served Let us picture a scene in which there are ruins of once splendid home?—all burned down within a day. Desolate isn’t it? That is how the Juniors felt after their sad experience on Class Day at the hands of the Seniors. Hut. thinking only of the future they are picturing themselves as Seniors administering the same punishment just as effectively. And so we leave them to their blissful (.reams. SENIORS—1933-' 34 In the Fall of 1933—unconnected to the Fall of Rome—the Seniors reentered school to enjoy the fruits of their labors. Amid sputtering and splashing in Oscar's tank the Seniors introduced the Freshies to Hudson High School. At the Homecoming the Seniors presented a Falstaffian fellow who made his living tampering professionally with corpses and putting them for keeps in their graves: needless to say the Seniors were vic- torious. In the field of athletics the Seniors were the nuclei about whom the teams were built. In Forensics, the debate teams, composed largely by argumentative Seniors distinguished at New Richmond and Chippewa Falls. This argumentive nature was developed probably, in girls athletics. Led by Marion Hawkins, president; Robert Quarnes. vice president; Edmund Michaelson, secretary; George Mullen, treasurer; and Miss Lee, adviser, the Seniors finished a successful year. As did their predecessors, the Seniors leave unnoticed—unsung!

Mr. Bargen The Season in Sports lien the last footliall is punted over the chalk lined field, when the last l.ather sphere has swished through the net and the baseball is hit safely into the outfield, the chronicle of the season’s athletics is written. hether it is easier to picture victory than glorious defeat remains a controversy. We have had both in all branches, but the boys fought through the season, marred with de- feats, but rich in spirits. FOOTBALL 1933 The 1933 football season at Hudson High School was attended with great success. The entire team was faithful to Coach Ander- son. In training and in playing they responded to the Coach’s advice and results came in form of a play-off for the championship of the middle border with Hudson losing to the strong Menomonie team. I he first evening of practice found a squad of 35 midgets out in uniform. I here was a nucleus of three around which to build the team; not a pleasing prospect indeed. But by hard work a scrappy group of warriors, well drilled in fundamentals, represented Hud- son High School—Captain Holt, Michaelson, and Richie were the three letter men who formed the team, but with Strom, Baillon, Burkholder, Dean Lyksett, Larson, Simpson, Johnson, Monkbert, Captain-elect Birkmose, Hanson, Boals, Pederson, Cameron, Lystad, Wallace, Hjelseth, Lyksett, Schullo, and Cramer a good team was rounded into shape. The team responded favorably and with the opening game against Roberts the green but snappy light team swept through the Roberts aggregation to the score of 28 to 0. In this game the team received its first set-back, when Dean Lyksett, the crushing fullback, broke his wrist. Dean was lost for four weeks. Resume of Games HUDSON vs COLFAX I he locals upset all tli dope taking Colfax on their own field 10-7. Strom ran wild to make ail of Hudson's ten points. With the score tied 7-7 and with hut a few minutes to play he kicked a beautiful drop kick from one end of the 25 yard line which cleared the posts squarely, giving Hudson a three |x int lead. HUDSON vs ELLSWORTH Eleven Hudson stars took the field as the locals held the highly tooted Ells- worth squad to a 0-0 tie. HUDSON vs RIVER FALLS It was an over confident Hudson football team that pranced out upon the River balls field that rainy Friday afternoon, but a sad and ragged looking eleven that limped slowly back to the dressing room after taking a 18-6 beating. Ac- cording to the season s scores for the two teams and all the pre-game dope Hudson should have easily taken the boys into camp but the locals were just too sure of themselves. Holt and I .arson starred on defense. Capt. Holt was forced from the last period of play with a bad leg that bothered him from time to time throughout the season. HUDSON vs NEW RICHMOND Homecoming Much to New Richmond’s disgust Hudson took them to the cleaners 12-7 in a hard fought, typical Hudson-New Richmond football melee. Dean Lvksett, who broke his wrist several weeks ago, returned to the play and proved himself to be a very consistent ball carrier. HUDSON vs SPRING VALLEY The local eleven failed to show their usual pep and punch when they nosed out Spring Valley 6-0 on tlve Hudson field. A i ass, Burkholder to Schullo, late in the third period resulted in Hudson’s only score. In the final quarter, Larson intercepted a Spring Valley pass in his own territory and throwing him- self forward began a spectacular run right through the entire Spring Valley team: with arms and legs flying all around him he reached the 16 yard line before he was thrown off balance and downed. The Spring Valley defense tightened up, however, and held the locals for no gain, as the final whistle ended the game 6-0. HUDSON vs MENOMONIE Hudson was defeated by Menomonie in the last game of the season 16-0. Despite the fight of Hudson’s lightweights they were completely outclassed by the Superior Menomonie outfit. Menomonie's touchdown in the first three min- utes of play took the heart out of Coach Anderson’s aggregation, but nevertheless they put up forty minutes of game fighting. Thus ended a rather successful season with four victories, two defeats and a tie. Captain Holt. Harry Johnson, Frank Richie, and Clark Michaelson graduate this year and their absence will be greatly felt when the team rounds into shape this fall. HASKETHAEL TEAM Back Row. left to right—George Mullen. Manager, Frank Richie, Gordon Pederson, Finer Kdetrom, William Bailion, William Zahler, Coach Anderson. First row—Henry Schullo, David Burkholder, Harry Johnson, Peter Strom. Max Monkbert, Fdmund Mkhaelson. Carl Hjelseth. Basketball 1933-34 At the first call for basketball forty-two responded the first night. Gradually the squad was cut to twelve with Michaelson, Strom, Johnson, Burkholder, Zahler, Hjelseth. Bailion, Thompson, Young, Edstrom, Monkbert, and Caswell composing the squad. Captain Strom and Michaelson were the only lettermen back from last year’s squad, leaving a very green inexperienced small squad for Coach Anderson to work on. Hudson, defensively, was one of the strongest teams m the dis- trict, but their inability to hit the basket from the free throw line and field, was the cause of their unimpressive season. Their floor play was equal to that of their opponents if not better. Captain Strom played a stellar game throughout the season. Resume of Basketball Season, ,33-,34 HUDSON vs ELLSWORTH Hudson’s basketball season started off with a bang when the locals galloped over the Ellsworth aggregation to the time cf 21-18. Although Ellsworth did not have the outfit, local fans looked forward seeing the locals put on a good show considering the fact that they had been practicing for such a short period of time. Johnson was high point man with a total of ten points. HUDSON vs COLFAX Coach Anderson’s cagers came out on the short end of a 22-10 score when Hudson met the far superior passing and shooting Colfax five on the local’s floor. HUDSON vs NEW RICHMOND Humping up against a five squad in orango and black the locals took a 19-11 nosedive. New Richmond got off to an early leid which was never seriously threatened by the locals. HUDSON vs MENOMONIE Captain Strom took the lime light as Hud- son defeated Menomonie in a hard fought game on the local floor when, with but a minute or so left to play he dropped in two gift shots, followed by a short shot giving Hudson the game £3-21. HUDSON vs RIVER FALLS The fast River Falls five nosed out the lo:al boys 22-17. The boys in b’ue made a fine showing again the superior hoys from the Normal town. HUDSON vs NEW RICHMOND Hudson was defeated by New Richmond for the second time in the season. 19-12, when the boys in blue went up to the home of the Irish Unlike most Hudson-New Richmond scrambles, this game was slow and uninterest- ing—not even one fight! HUDSON vr ELLSWORTH In a game that was slow, and far from nerve-racking, the local cagers defeated the Ellsworth five by a score of 20-8. Trailing at the half by a score of 6-4. the locals came back to take the third quarter. 20-8. in one grand scoring splurge led by Johnson and Strom. HUDSON vs COLFAX Colfax defeated Hudson for the second time in the season by a score of 15-9. Colfax’s zone i.efense worl ed to perfection on their narrow floor but never were they in the lead by any safe margin. HUDSON vs RIVER FALLS Hudson had little chance against the rangy, more experienced River Falls team and as a result took the short end of the 28-8 score. HUDSON vs SPRING VALLEY In one of the best games of the season Hudson lost to Spring Valley 23-20. It was a r.ip-and-tuck batt e throughout the entire per- iod of play, the score being tied 7-7 at the first quarter. 13-13 at the half, and 15-16 in favor of the locals at the end of the third ciuarter.

BurKhoh er and Captain f’trom, next year’s team should be fairly strong. Johnson and M chaelson graduate. Junior High Athletics The Junior High basketball team showed much development this year in spite of the fact that they didn’t win many games. Ail of the boys played very well, considering that this was their first year of playing on an organ- ized team Kspec ally good work was done by La Verne Johnson, the captain. Steve displayed s:gns of carrying on the lamily tradition; and both Gilbert Nuthman and John Samson did their share and promise good material for next year’s team. Their first two games with New Richmond were lost with scores of 6 to 11. Next they played twro games with the River Falls Training School, losing both of them with scores of 6 to 9 ant. 9 to 17. The last two games were with Roberts: they lost the first one wfith a score of 4 to 8, and won the last one with a score of 13 to 8. Only two games were scheduled for the Junior High football season, although other practice games were held with various schools. Both games were with River Falls, and the Hudson team was victorious in both cases. The results of the first game were 13-0 ant. the second game 6-0. Baseball Baseball began as usual this year about the second week of April under the coaching of Miss Kidd. Though it was quite cold about forty hoys were out for practice. Of these, nine were lettermen who really formed the nucleus of the squad. After two weeks of practice the squad was cut to twenty-five men and the team began to take shape. At the time of this writing, the results of the games are not known, but we are looking for a most successful season. MEMBERS OF THE TEAM Pitch.—Anderson, W illiamson, Caswell, B.

Glee Clubs The girls’ glee club is the oldest musical organization in our high school, as we know that it was in existence as early as 1916. Since then it has grown until in 1 ( 2() it was necessary to have two girls’ clubs so that all those who wished could belong. I lie second glee club is open to a greater number than the first, and from its constituency are selected the singers for the first glee club. The first glee club or Clef Club meets twice a week for re- hearsal and they work diligently to make the organization one of credit to the school. The Clef Club has appeared in concert at several occasions during the year; they sang at the Christmas program, for the annual spring concert, the mmic contest a;ul the May music festival besides five assembly programs. Since 1( 24 the Hudson High School has had a Boys’ Glee Club. The club has made a good record, having won first place at the contest several times. 4 he boys have one full rehearsal and one sectional rehearsal a week. hit of this organization has grown the boys quartette com- . posal ( f Gerald W allace, Palmer kvemon. Donald Oison, and Kd- ward Hartnett. This group has contributed their talent to assembly programs, lodge programs, and organizations not connected with school. Grade School Bands The children of the Hudson schools are at the present time given a wonderful chance to develop their musical talents beginning with their first days in school. As kindcrgarden students, under the guidance of Miss Champion, and in the first grace, under •Miss Hanson's direction, the children are given an opportunity to use percussion instruments to develop their feeling for rhythm, to teach group cooperation, to provide physical exercise, and to prepare the children for advanced forms of mu- sic. Besides this, music study and singing are taught by Miss Hanson to ail classes; and to all who are interested, Mr. Dahl gives private in- structions on musical instruments. Those pupils who are most satisfactorily able to pass a test in beating time am. carrying a tune are made members of the Junior Band. Here they have their first chance for learning to play on musical instrument and under the direction of Mr. Dahl, the member ; of this organization become well prepaied for the time when thtv will be members of the Hich School bam;. The Junior ban I has made several successful demonstrations of thesr talent and ability be .ore good audiences. One of the best of these was their appearance lea1L rs‘ convention at Eau Claire last fall, ih' band is making great nrogiess am. is bring- ing forth some of Hudson's future great musi ians. High School Band One of the most active organizations in the high school at the present time is the band. It is always at the request of program directors and always manages to add a cheerful bit of fun. Besides being a good concert band, it has made a success of marching with George Mullen as drum major. The director, Mr. Dahl, has worked diligently and has successfully found new talent in the school to add to the organization. With its good leader and ambitious partici- pants, this band should continue in future years to be as good or better than the present or- ganization. Orchestra The orchestra, this year, has made rapid prog- ress unt.er the capable leadership of Mr. Dahl. There are approximately thirty-five members, ten of them being Seniors. We have played for a number of programs including the Spanish program. Because the string section of the orchestra is particularly strong this year, many minor or- ganizations such as the string quartette, violin quartette, and even a miniature orchestra have grown out of the orchestra. These organizations have played for many programs and the small orchestra has played for the various plays that have been presented at the school. The orchestra number for the annual spring contest is Mozart’s Suite. Many of the players in the orchestra are trying out for solo events on their individual instrument and all in all, good results are expected.

Throughout the yea: it has been a very active organization: it has cooperated with the G. A. C in carrying out th“ courtesy campaign; it has tried a new type of meeting in the form of a noonday luncheon, which has worked out successfully; it has had joint meetings with Stillwater which have helped bring the two schools into closer contact. And of course the boys will never forget the initiation and the raw oysters! As a tribute to Charles Swanlund. the presi- dent who passec away October 4, 1933. his office has been left unfilled during the entire year, but the work has been very ably carried on under the leadership of Ed Hartnett as vice-president and Mr. Rock as adviser. G. A. C. To create situations for girls to participate in athletics; to sponsor school activities and school functions; and to foster good sportsmanship in all our daily endeavors—these are the objectives of tire (iirls' Athletic Club. W ith these three aims as stepping stones, the organization this year sponsored the largest of its annual I’iay Days. Prescott, Ellsworth, Xew Richmond, Hammond, Bald- win, River Falls High School and Teachers College, and Man Claire all took part in the fun. This year the girls were divided into three groups, and spent their time participating in basketball, ping pong, and skating. In a joint meeting of the Ifi-Y and H. A. C. officers, it was decided to sponsor a Courtesy Campaign. After drawing up the plans for this project it was presented to the student body. For weeks posters were continually in front of the students and fre- quently speeches were given in assembly. Bearing in mind the orig- inal slogan, ‘Courtesy is consideration of others , the campaign was brought to a successful close in March. Early in the fall when football enthusiasm was high, a car- nival was given by the Homecoming Committee. The G. A. C. ran two money making booths—the Mysterious “Sniff and Snoop told secrets from the dim dark past and promises for the uncertain but exciting future: and then who could resist “3 halls one pennie”, “Take a chance and win a bar”? What was more welcome than the truck the G. A. C. spon- sored for the basketball tournament? Nearly thirty anxious rooters watched Hudson play. Added to all this are the athletic tournaments that have been held—and what games! Even the tame, calm and rather dignified game of volleyball brought forth blood-thirsty screeches from the girls as the juniors copped their second title. The Sophomores surprised everyone by coming out first in field hall. To the Seniors went the honor ot three consecutive basketball championships. There are still track, tennis, and kittenball tourneys to he run off. hen everything is over there will he many enjoyable memories and foremost will be; It ivon’t he whether we've won or lost.

A MORAL FOR SOPHOMORES There was a silly Sophomor:, Who thought he knew enough, He said, ‘Til cut out study And try my luck at bluff.” The Freshmen are so foolish; They study night and day; The jolly Juniors stumble As they danc? along the way. The Seniors look so solemn Their teachers they deceive But I know all, and study Is foolish, I perceive. And so that silly Sophomore Played basketball instead He never looked at Caesar Said he, “Is he not dead?” The hours thus glided by, Th y went on golden wings, And slowly teachers not bom Blossomed round with rings.
