Talking It Over With the School President GREETINGS TO THE CLASS OF 1935: Now that you have arrived at Commencement time, a time that you have long dreamed of, it is perhaps with mingled feelings that you remember the past and anticipate the future. Commencement is truly what the name implies. Un- til the present you have been well cared-for with perhaps few real worries. You have been busy preparing the foundation upon which to build your castle, and in so doing you have taken many pleasant detours in arriving at your goal. Your work up to this point has been done according to blue prints and specifi- cations furnished you so that your foundation might be strong and ample. The real job of engineering is now up to you. Your castle from now on will have to he built according to your own specifications. The architecture will be largely of your own ingenuity. Your life is your castle. It is well to remember a few simple truths so that you may build your ideal and find the happiness that all of us strive for. Your structure will be only as good as the material that you put into it. You cannot build out of nothing, neither can you fail to pay the price demanded. There is good and had material available. If you choose the good you will be rewarded with a strong structure and satisfaction. If you choose the bad—it may seem more desirable at the time—you will be rewarded with a crumbling structure and disappointment. Set your ideals high. It may take longer to reach your goal but patience and persistence have a way of reaping their rewards. Think straight, avoid prejudice, have the courage of your convictions, and keep as your ideal the rendering of service. Best wishes. E. P. ROCK

THE GUIDE TO OUR MARCH OF PROGRESS The class of 1935 wishes to extend its sincere appreciation to our adviser, Miss Ethel Mathews, for her patience and diligence in helping us solve our problems as juniors and seniors. It was largely through her untiring efforts that we were able to put on such a successful prom last year. edication To all those in pursuit of development and progress in education and life this book is dedicated. “Time marches on not only in current news events hut also in every field. The March of Progress has an exacting rhythm with which it is difficult to keep in step. Concentration upon the stepping stones is necessary. Coordination between the mind and the times makes for true chords in tlie March. Keeping up with the rest of the line means the constant attention of everyone of our faculties to the task at hand.

Ili' class of 1935 entered high school at the time when we were beginning to teel the affects of the Great Depression, l o show our pep and school spirit we furnished the largest number of cheer leaders of any of the classes. One of our five freshmen cheer leaders has been the captain cheer leader for three years. We boldly entered other activities- music, forensics, athletics, and dra- matics. ()ur scholastic standings were high as shown by our numbers on the honor roll. Forgetting our slight timidity, as sophomores we took our place in larger numbers in all organizations. Our “Pioneer lloat with its ancient phaeton re- sembled, in more ways than one. Holmes’ “Wonderful One lloss Shay.” The beginning of our junior year was saddened by the loss of one of our most promising classmates, Charles Swanlund. The c ass maintained its estab- lished place in the various extra-curricular groups. Four junior girls won medals in declamatory. We were well represented at Chippewa Falls. Hlizaheth I racy entered the state finals in extemporaneous speaking. Following the tra- dition of our school, we gave the seniors a prom, liven though the junior girls rolled up the points in thtir sports in the e ass day exercises, we were slightly defeated by the seniors. Attempting to live up to our slogan, “Hudson High Marches On,” regard- less of the Depression, we as seniors have sponsored new activities especially through the efforts of the lli-Y, G. A. C, and our musical groups. These organizations have developed more definite themes in their several projects. I he results have proved satisfactory as shown in the increased school-conscious- ness of the public. Our commencement program will be unique in at least two features. The customary professional speech will be replaced bv short original talks by a few honor students of the class; the traditional indoor’formalities will give place to an outdoor sunset graduation.
