MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS I lie musical organizations of Hudson High School have offered to the public many interesting programs and have generally increased appreciation of better music among our citizens. Many fine musicals were given during the year instead of the usual one or two large presentations. All of the musical organizations have taken part in these programs. This year the entire boys' glee club has made up the male section of our mixed chorus. A Schubert program was given in October by the mixed chorus and girls’ glee club, consisting of Schubert’s most popular works. Again in December the vocal organizations presented a very interesting and beautiful Christmas tableau. In February a patriotic program was given, which consisted of a mu- sical skit, soloists, and various smaller song groups. In March a pageant of folk music from different I European countries which helped to make up “Uncle Sam s Puzzle was presented. In April the mixed chorus, glee clubs, band, orchestra, and soloists demonstrated their skill at a concert for the general pub- lic before the annual trip to the District Music Contest held at River Falls, May 2 and 3. The band has taken part in many programs this year. They have played at pep meetings, football games, basket ball games; and presented a program at Stillwater High School. A new feature which has been undertaken this year is the playing of musical comedy selections. The orchestra has also been very active in school and outside programs. They assisted the vocal organizations at the various musicals this year. The hand and orchestra plaved at the spring concert in April preceding the music contest. The Woodwind Ensemble and Brass Quartette, composed of members of the band and orchestra, also partici- pated in the contest. A girls’ sextette, a mixed octette, a boys’ quartette, trios and soloists chosen from the glee clubs and mixed chorus, and the jazz orchestra and German band chosen from the instrumental organizations, have also helped to make the March of Progress in Music a success.

GIRLS’ ATHLETICS Girls’ athletics has been attracting more and more attention and interest during tli 3 past year. Soccer-bast hall was the first form of girls' athletics this fa'l. The senior girls came out on top by defeating the juniors 16 to 10. After it was too cold to go outside, a nationality volleyball tournament began. In the finishing game the Germans, led by Klizalxth Abel, defeated the Dutch, led bv Wilma Ruesink. The outstanding basketball players, chosen from the color teams tournament, were select :d for the class teams. For the first time since 1930, the senior and junior girls played a preliminary game before the Prescott- Hudson conference game. The junior girls, led by Leila Jensen, won the bas- ketball tournament. This spring a voll.yhall tournament between classes was held. G. A. C. The G. A. C. started its sixth annual season with an abundance of enthus- iasm and spirit by initiating the new members, bringing the total membership up to sixty-four. At the very first meeting it was decided that the G. A. C. would sponsor a carnival in the gym. This they did with unusual success on November 2. The constitution was revised this year, making the total number of points necessary for letters higher in the case of girls who joined the junior G. A. C. and then transferred from the junior to senior G. A. C. This change was made because these members would have more chance to accumulate points than those who joined the senior group directly. A new plan of holding joint meetings with other schools was tried this year. The first one was held on March 4. 1935, when the G .A. C. girls of River Falls were our guests. Hudson was well represented by the G. A. C. at playdays held at the River Falls High School and at the college in Eau Claire.
