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.

Hl-Y During the past year the members of the Ili-Y have shown a splendid at- titude toward their objectives: clean living, speech, sportsmanship, and scholar- ship. During the past year they have contributed a great deal to the school by decorating the hal.s during the Christmas holidays, putting up a snowfence around the football field, conducting an amateur contest, and sponsoring the baseball team for the 1935 season. The amateur contest was the most successful of its accomplishments since it succeeded in its purpose of discovering many hidden talents previously unknown. Enough money was taken in to supply $45.00 to the baseball fund. The Club also sent delegates to two Young Men’s Conferences, one at Stillwater, the other at St. Paul. BASKETBALL The 1934 and '35 basketball team deserves much credit for their season as a whole. 1'he team reported to practice with only four lettermen; Carl lljel- seth, Max Monkbert, Peter Strom, and Hilly Zahler; Strom, graduating in mid- year. All through the season the team met with defeat hut with the determin- ation that they would do better the next time. i hev won only one game the whole season of conference and non-conference tilts. This game was with Durand; the final score being 20 to 14 in Hudson’s favor. Although the sea- son was not such a success as in some past years, the team came through with flying colors to win second place at the district tournament at River Falls, March 7, 8 and 9. Hudson High School was proud to have three players chosen on the list of the ten best players at the tournament this year. The players were “Wally Lystad, Carl 1 Ijelseth, and Don Thompson. A.though these players were the only ones from Hudson to make the tournament team, all the players deserve much credit for enabling the team to advance as far as it did in the tournament. Scores were as follows: Baldwin 18, Hudson 12; Spring Valley 24, Hud- son 14; Prescott 18, Hudson 16; Ellsworth 15, Hudson 12; Durand 14. Hudson 20; New Richmond 13, Hudson 12; Menomonie 23, Hudson 13; Ellsworth 21, Hudson 8; River Falls 21, Hudson 9; Spring Valley 28, Hudson 12; Prescott 23, Hudson 18; River halls 23, Hudson 18: Menomonie 29, Hudson 11: Dunn County Agricultural School 9, Hudson 16; New Richmond 28, Hudson 19; Boyceville 19, Hudson 23; ’•'Elmwood 23, Hudson 28; Spring Valley 23, Hud- son 15. Denotes Tournament Games. FOOTBALL A squad of thirty-seven men, under the efficient leadership of Captain Birk- mose, ran out on the field the first day of school and started their long, hard training in hopes of becoming a championship team. Each practice was spent in hard drill to prepare for meeting strong rivals. To be able to defeat oppon- ents who outweighed our men by several pounds to the man is quite an accomplishment. The team felt triumphant when it held New Richmond to a scoreless game. The biggest and best game of the season was our Homecoming with River Falls. Only once did River Falls threaten but were held back by our excellent defense. 1 laving lost not one game, the team was in high spirits until its good luck failed and it was overcome by Menomonie with whom we played the last game of the season. The opponents were much heavier than our men and outplayed them during the second half. However, this was a very suc- cessful football season for Hudson High and we are looking forward to a cham- pionship team next year under Captain-elect Dean Lyksett. Scores were; Roberts 0, Hudson 71; Ellsworth 0, Hudson 14; New Rich- mond 0. Hudson 0; Colfax 6, Hudson 13; Spring Valley 0, Hudson 14; Me- nomonie 26, Hudson 7; River Falls 0, Hudson 25.
