Text from Pages 1 - 86 of the 1940 volume:

It has been our desire to «jive you a book to en- joy—a book you would be proud of, and one that re- calls the many activities in which you have participated. In this 1940 annual you find reflections of the fun and work that is a part of our school’s routine. You made the book, we, the staff, have compiled it, and now the book is yours. Opening Section Our School Days Our Leisure Hours rDedication In appreciation of the reputation which these organizations have gained for our school and the love of music which they have creat- ed in us, we gratefully dedicate this year's annual to the musical department and its di- rectors, Miss Edith Hanson and Mr. David Dahl. tyaculty. dtUOAfU P.

Although her very special contribution to Hudson High has been in the field of music, she has also been well represented in many other activities. Above all. she has always shown the very finest type of character, loyalty to her school, and love of learning which should make her school justly proud of her. It is with these ideas in mind that the faculty of Hudson High School has selected as the most Representative Senior of 1940 EVELYN RYDEEN 12 ELINOR ADAMS G. A.

Qlass of 1940 C rllE year 1940 brings to Hudson High School another commencement, and the end of the school careers of another group of Hudson seniors. Suc- cess—socially, scholastically, and in extra-curricular activities—has been the aim of the seniors since their entrance into high school. As freshmen, we were the largest class in school with an enrollment of seventy-seven members. We elected Donald O’Connell, president; Robert O’Connell, vice president; Margaret Simonson, secretary; Mary Cameron, treas- urer ; and Emil Anderson, adviser. A large part of our class immediately enter- ed some activity; a great number joining either a musical organization or going out for debate, baseball, basketball, football, and girls’ athletics, with our girls’ fieldball team winning the tournament. In our sophomore year we elected Marjorie I-ee as our president: Robert Williamson, vice president: Maxine Bethel, secretary; Evelyn Rvdeen, treasurer; and Miss Jenny Lee adviser. Anxious to earn some extra money, we entered the budget ticket sale and the homecoming ticket campaign. We were successful in our efforts and were awarded a two dollar cash prize for the homecoming ticket campaign, and five dollars for the budget ticket sales. During our sophomore year, Kenneth Michaelson, Robert Miller, Er- ling Strom. Norval Olson, and Baldwin Olson represented us in basketball, and Erling Strom, Robert Guitb. and Dan Lvksett earned baseball letters. The girls also did their part by winning the championship in fieldball. volleyball, and basketball. We were also well represented in band, orchestra, mixed chorus, and glee club. During the course of the year, Solveig Michaelson and Helen Riedel were chosen to represent Hudson in the league declamatory contest at Ellsworth. The main event of our sophomore year was a dinner-dance sponsored by the sophomore and junior classes. In our junior year we again chose Marjorie I-ee as president, and Pa- tricia Clare Ryan, vice president: Evelyn Rvdeen, treasurer: Harold Olson, sec- retary; and Esther Solheim. Student Council Representative. This year we were well represented in athletics with Er'ing Strom and Norval Olson earning basketball letters: Marvin Flattum, Erling Strom. Baldwin Olson, Dorwin Lam- kins, and Dan Lvksett being awarded football letters; and Dorwin Lamkins. Dona'd Lomnes, and Marvin Flattum receiving letters for boxing. Ethel Ahl- gren served as an alternate on the debate team which went to the District Tour- nament at Chippewa Falls. A ‘Snow-White” theme was chosen for the Junior-Senior prom held on May 5. The general prom committee was com]x sed of Marjorie Lee. Patricia Clare Ryan, David Wilcox, Marv Cameron. Evelyn Rydecn, Janet Williams. Clarence Moreen, Dorwin Lamkins, and Esther Solheim. The first major project of our senior year was the traditional senior- freshmen party which was given in the form of a lunch-basket social. loiter in the year, we he’d a senior social hour which included a light meal followed by dancing. In dramatic and forensic activities, our class was represented bv Bar- bara Reiter, Marion Lombard. Ethel Ahlgren, Helen Riedel, and Frank Dabruzzi. all of whom represented Hudson at either the District Debate Tournament or the District Forensic Contest. Marvin Flattum, David Wilcox, Harvey Hanson. Jack Livermore, Dorwin Lamkins, Norval Olson, and Kenneth Michaelson earn- ed football letters. We were a'so well represented in music activities, with David Wilcox, Harold Olson, Verna Mae Jones, and Evelyn Rvdeen going out for solos at the music contest.

Helien Larson . . Douglas Meyers Miss Helen Hughes EXCELLENCE and distinction are two goals which the sophomore class has been successful in attaining. ITie class of 1942 can he proud of its excel- lent debaters, dramatic students, athletes, and musicians. Distinction has been gained for the second consecutive time when the class was awarded the cash prize that was offered to the class making the most successful Homecoming tic- ket campaign. Social events in the school-life of the sophomores have been the fresh- men-senior party and a dinner dance in their freshmen year, and the social hour this year. 'Hie freshmen-senior party was a buffet supper given by the seniors to welcome the new class and they in turn entertained the seniors at a dinner dance. The social hour consisted of modern and group dancing. 99 Re«y Daniels . The Vhite °ys Class of 1943 (INSPIRATION, individualism, and initiative seem to have been the keywords ' which have made this year a most successful one for the freshman class. In extra-curricular activities they have shown ] articular progress. They are the first freshman class in Hudson High School to send two representatives to the District Debate Tournament. They also captured the leading roles in this year's operetta, “Hansel and Gretel”. The title roles were played by Ixiuis Almen and Iona Ryden. Vivian Egbert played the part of the witch and Nathan Wiener, the father. They also have had a fine representation in band, glee club, mixed chorus, declamatory, extemporaneous speaking, and all athletics. Socially, the freshmen have had three major events. Their first insight of high school social life was the senior-freshman party at which this year's graduating seniors entertained the freshmen with a lunch basket social. Little time was lost in becoming acquainted with each other and soon a large number were dancing to both modern and old time music. Two group dances, the Vir- ginia Reel and an old fashioned ice-breaker, hel))ed to encourage the bashful ones to ]� rticipate. The second social event was the freshman social hour which was held on February 5. Group dancing including the Virginia Reel and a Grand March, dancing to old and modern music furnished a good time for all who attended. The originality and cleverness of the freshman class was brought to the front when they presented their skit at the Homecoming Pep Rest. The skit was entitled “The Warriers of K. E. F. written by a group of freshmen and their adviser. Miss June Lawrence. In competition with other classes, the freshmen proved themselves both able and successful businessmen when they made the most profit selling pop at their concession at the Halloween Party. Individually, the freshman have also been outstanding. In debate Otis Clymer and Thomas Hughes have brought honor to the class. In declama- tory, Thomas Hughes, Joan McDonald, and Paul Kvarnes have shown talent. Robert Kinney, Louis Almen, and Otis Clymer appeared as promising material for next year’s extemporaneous speaking contest. In football. Eugene Richie proved his ability as a letterman. In boxing Thomas Zc zza. Eugene Richie. Bus- ter Lyksett, Randall Becker, Otis Clymer. Janies Stayberg and Ralph Cow es have proved their skill. In music. Nathan Wiener, Louis Almen, Audrey Otter- son. Iona Ryden, and Marion Thorson have stood out. Many of the girls have turned out for various athletics and have made a good showing with the girls of the upper classes. Freshman school spirit and lova'tv have been expressed in the cheering section by Thomas Hughes, the freshman mouthpi ce. Truly, the freshmen have established a remarkable record that can be envied bv other classes. 24 Mar- Donald fl2UT?AiilnW winl oJ«t S hi,te Ja5le,i Sla 7?fr« RaJPb Cowles. Elton Hancock.

When interviewing Hudson I figh’s two musical wizards, many interesting and amus- ing comments were unearth. 4 The cello is my favorite instrument” was Mr. Dahl the statement of Dave Dahl, master of the Hudson High School band and orchestra. ‘‘I can plav every instrument except the violin and piano, the cello, clarinet, and saxophone being my professional instruments,” he commented. Dave chuckled heartily when he reminisced about the most humor- ous moment in his life, which was the time he played a solo on the violin at a theater in Canada. ‘I don t know what I would have done if the violinist hadn’t been behind the curtains.” Miss Hanson The best age to take up any instrument is from twelve to fourteen years. Mr. Dahl thinks that there is no difference in teaching a boy or girl, but he demands more from the boys. However, they all must have a sense of rhythm, good ear for pitch and a natural aptitude. Mr. Dahl has met many famous musicians of today such as Herbert Clark, once greatest cornetist in the world, John Philip Sousa, the well known March King , and Rubinoff, the violinist, who has never forgiven Dave for refusing a dance job at the Rogers’ Hotel in Minneapolis. When Dave isn’t occupied with his work at school, he is busy perform- ing his duties as warrant officer in the 206th infantry in St. Paul. “I like the training because of the education and discipline that you receive.” says Mr. Dahl. In his leisure time he enjoys reading and he keeps a collection of quotations, particularly of those on music. 1 timing from the world of music as performed on mechanical instru- ments. we come to another world where the production of music is dependent upon a living instrument and, hence, responds delicately and exquisitely to every emotion and aspiration of man—the human voice. I his calls attention to Miss hdith Hanson, vocal instructor, who has taught at Hudson High School for twelve years. Besides being a capable in- stinctor of the voice, she has shown domestic talent in cooking and sewing. In her few leisure moments she enjoys reading good books. Miss Hanson, an alumna of Hudson High by the way. likes to develop sincerity in her students. To her sincerity is the most im|x rtant quality needed for a voice student. Her favorite comjx)sers are Brahms. Bach, and Ravel, but one of her favorite songs is “The Prayer” by Humperdinck from the three act (ierman fable, “Hansel and Gretel.” kike a true Norsky she “goes for” coffee and would love to eat her breakfast in bed every morning. A few of her prob- lems are to get the students to breathe correctly, and to assure the right place- ment of tines and posture. She is now organist at the Bethel Lutheran C hurch. In conclusion we sp.ak a word of commendation for the music courses as offered to Hudson students and its immeasurable value to the individual and the community.

Madrigal Group Hudson SKigh School's travelogue rR vae ERMAXY, France, Spain, Italy, and Holland—these are only a few of the many countries visited in the travelogue given by Hudson High School students in native costumes at rural P. T. A. meetings at Midway, McKinley, and Hass I-ake on November 17 and 24 and December 8. ‘Top of the morning to ye.” This of course meant the arrival to the land of the shamrock (Ireland), where Carole Nygard, the narrator, took the audience to the home of the Blarney Stone to hear Catherine Ryan sing the fre- quently heard Irish song, ‘ My ild Irish Rose.” Elaine Hawkins, attired in a green and white Irish costume, read a humorous reading. Then we were taken across the Baltic Sea into Germany, better known as “Hitler's Empire,” where the rollicking tunes of the German band were heard. Th; members of this lively group included John Hover, Peter Rock, Ray St. Ores. John Stayberg, Douglas Meyers, Herbert Johnson, and Robert Simonson. Marion I xmbard gave her impression of a great German comjxjser bv reading a humorous selection entitled “Lil’ Johann Straus.” The audience journeyed across the Siegfried and Maginot lines into the country of !• ranee, the world dictator of fashion and mecca of American tourists in peace time. In “ze city of Paree” Verna Mae Jones, ‘ disguised” as a dark, flashing French girl, sang, “Wee, Wee. Marie.” Turning to the world of music as performed on mechanical instruments, Evelyn Rydeen played a de- lightful French song on the clarinet. From “Paree” the scene was transferred to Holland, the land of wood- en shoes and windmills. At this stop Catherine Ryan and Carole Nvgard “jig- ged” a Dutch dance in wooden shoes. Going through the neutral country of Switzerland, the crowd came to Mussolini’s and King Emmanuel’s kingdom where the girls’ sextette, composed of Elaine Tracy, Verna Mae Jones, Jane Sutherland, Marion Lombard, Gather- ing Ryan, and Marjorie Ixe, sang two Italian numbers. “Gianina Mia” and “Maria Nina”, and a humorous reading, “Guiseppi the Barber,” was recited by William Olson. I-ast but not least came the land of freedom, democracy and liberty, known to everyone as the United States of America. Bernardine McDonald, dressed in a navy and white sailor’s outfit, tap danced, and the trumpet trio, con- sisting of John Hover. Nathan Wiener, and Raymond St. Ores, played a “triple tongued” selection. These country programs, sponsored by the Hudson Commercial Club, were prepared by Miss Edith Hanson, Miss Ruth Jones, and Dave Dahl. 36 Mr. Dahl and Miss Hanson River tyalls eJYCusic festival Hudson High's musicians received seventeen first ratings and four- teen second ratings at the River Falls Music Contest on Friday and Saturday, April 26 and 27.

Hudson students who receiv- ed ribbons were Frank Dahruzzi, Helen Riedel, Ethel Ahlgren. and Carole Nygard. I he committee in charge of the tournament arrangements included Ruth Tappins. general chairman; Frank Dahruzzi, invitations; and Jenebelle Houck, refreshments.

Carole Nygard, Curtis Solsvig, and Thomas Hughes served as alternates. I his year a slight change was made in the set up of the tournament. Instead of the final round of debate, the three schools rating highest front the semi-finals represented the district at the state tournament held at Madison on March 4. Hudson tied for fourth place and kept their enviable tradition of hav- ing reached the semi-finals every year since the tournament was inaugurated. )nlv Chippewa Falls. F.att Claire, and Hudson have managed to attain this reward. Ethel Ahlgren, president of the debate club, received the honor of being selected as one of the outstanding debaters at the tournament. 42 HUDSON’ DEBATE CLUB OFFICERS President .......................

This year the debate club had a meml� ership of twenty-three members. After a debater has participated in debate for one year, he is presented with a pin bv the Cub. The main pioject for the Debate Club this year was the s|x nsoring of the third annual Interstate Debate Tournament. In the fall the Debate Club and the G. A. C. decorated the hall for the Homecoming festivities. The club also sponsored junior high debate in which the younger students were coached by high school debaters. 1939-’40 DEBATE CLUB MEMBERSHIP Ethel Ahlgren Dorwin Limkins Ruth Tappins Helen Riedel Otis Clymer Gustav Henry Johnson Elizabeth Almen Louis Ahnen Arthur Olson Itnogene Helmick Jencbelle Houck David Wilcox Curtis Solsvig Thomas Hughes Audrey Otterson Pauline Vanasse Mary Ann Kinney Frank Dabruzzi Elmer Samson William Holway Robert Kinney Carole Xygard I larriet Benov 4.1 Summary of Debate Season C7£? 11E 1939-’40 debate season got under way with approximately forty-two partici|)ants. The debaters worked through a successful season with a handicap of many inexperienced debaters with on'.y one veteran returning. The Hudson High Debaters began their season bv attending a debate tournament which was held at River Falls under the sponsorship of the State Teachers College on Saturday, November 18. Approximately fifteen students represented Hudson at this tournament which was in the form of panel discus- sion. The tournament was not a contest but was for instruction. Each student participated in three groups in which they drew for topics of discussion. Each participant was rated individually according to his ranking in the group and his ability as a speaker. At this tournament the Hudson senior debaters brought home ten out of the possible fifteen places. However, this was not exceptional as the students were rated on a comparative basis. At the New Richmond extemporaneous debate tournament held on December 8 and 9 the Hudson debaters won second place. Hudson was re- presented by Ethel Ahlgren. Helen Riedel, Frank Dabruzzi, and Dorwin Lam- kins. In this annual contest each debater is teamed with a colleague from an- other school. In the finals Dorwin Lamkins and his partner, James McClellan of Chippewa Falls were defeated by Evelyn Peterson of New Richmond and Bob Carter of Chippewa Falls. On November 25 New Richmond also spon- sored a practice tournament for New Richmond, Hudson, Frederic, and Amery. The annual freshman-sophomore tournament at Eau Claire was held on Wednesday, January 25. The Hudson debaters composed of two squads of underclassmen tied for second place when the A squad won four out of their six debates. Carole Nygard, for the second consecutive year, was chosen a member of the all tournament honorary team. The debaters were as follows: A squad—()tis Clymer, Carole Nygard. Curtis Solsvig, and Thomas Hughes; B squad—Mary Ann and Robert Kinney, Elizabeth and Louis Almen, Audrey Otterson, Nathan Wiener, Pauline Vanasse, and Blanche Prescott. Hudson will lose seven members of the debate club by graduation this year. They are Helen Riedel, Ruth Tappins, Ethel Ahlgren, Frank Dabruzzi, Dorwin Lamkins, Elmer Samson, and David Wilcox. In the spring, the high school debaters sponsored the Junior High Debate. Some groups debated the high school question, Resolved, that the federal government should own and operate the railroads, while other groups debated the question, Resolved, that the press should be more strictly regulated than it has been in the past. It has been primarily through the efforts of Miss Helen Hughes, the debate coach, that Hudson has been able to keep pace with such larger schools as Chippewa Falls and Eau Claire. We believe that the success of this debate season and, those that have been passed is due to Miss Helen Hughes’ time, ener- gy, and thought. 44 TACHOPKRAS MEMBERS AND OFFICERS President ...........................

The staff has attempted to produce a {taper that contains news of in- terest to all Hudson High School students and their various organizations. Rather than being a medium of school gossip, they have tried to be fair in de- picting the true spirit of the school. Readers of the ‘ Times have been encour- aged to contribute any creative material. The True Blue Times is a bi-weekly newspaper, published every other Wednesday of the school year for ten cents a semester. In addition to the work on the “Time” the journalism students also act as school reporters for the Hudson Star Observer. All news of Hudson High School activities appearing in the Observer has been written by members of the True Blue Times Staff.

During the year competition between classes is held in volleyball, bas- ketball, kittenball, and speedball. In addition to this, the girls are urged to engage in other sports out of school like skating and hiking. To promote tennis a tournament is held each spring, and it continues into the summer months. The girls are given points for each hour spent in these sports. These points accumulate, and when a girl has earned three hundred points she is eligible to receive an emblem. hen she has earned seven hundred fifty |x ints she receives a medal and if, bv the time she is a senior, she has earned two thousand points she is eligible to receive a letter. I he G. A. C. began the social part of its activities this year with a st ak fry held at the I .ake Front Park. It was compu'sory for the prospective members to attend and approximately fifty girls attended. A business meeting was held in connection with the picnic. A few weeks later an initiation was held with about twenty-five mem- bers being initiated. As a part of the initiation the girls were branded with G. A. C. on their foreheads, and had to wear their hair straight to school. At Christmas time a supper and social meeting was held in the sewing room, and during the year the G. A. C. has also had several luncheons. The G. A. C. in cooperation with the Hi-Y decorated the halls for Christmas and the Homecoming. At the Hallowe'en carnival the G. A. C. was in charge of a fortune telling booth, with Elaine Tracy and Helen Webster telling the fortunes. At the beginning of the year, the G. A. C. sold blue and white “Hud- son buttons in order to earn money. The pins sold at five cents each, and approximately one hundred pins were sold.

Finding their stride in the fourth cjuarter, the Raiders made a serious threat on the White Bear goal, but lost their chance by an unlucky fumble on the six-yard line. The Raider team was green—only three lettermen returning—and so, except for the outstanding work of Jack Livermore and Rueben Richie, their defense was marked by inaccurate tackling. The White Bear eleven succeeded in driving across their single tally at the start of the fourth C|uarter, after a sustained drive in the third period. HUDSON 0 MENOMONIE 15 September 29—A tall, heavy Menomonie team defeated Hudson on the Raider field by a 15-0 score. Menomonie outplayed and outfought a Hudson squad that, nevertheless, made the Indians really work for their gains. Hudson showed a big improvement over their erratic game of the week before. Menomonie’s superior weight wore the Raiders down sufficient- ly to allow them to push over touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters. HUDSON 12 COLFAX 6 October 6—The Hudson Raiders played a fine brand of ball against Colfax to defeat them on their own field 12-6. Shortly after the opening whistle the raider machine drove the length of the field to score their first tally. Hudson’s second touchdown came in the third quarter, after consecutive drives from midfield, culminated by a clever piece of deception in the form of a short ) ass over the goal line from Hill Olson to ‘ Pee Wee Olson. HUDSON 20 SPRING VALLEY 12 October 14—Hudson won a good game from Spring Valley 20-12 on the Raid- er’s field. Things looked bad to begin with, however, when the Spring Valley eleven repeatedly pounded past our line of defense to score within the first few minutes of play. The Raiders soon caught hold of them- selves. and for the rest of the game played good ball. Hudson scored three times and converted twice within the course of the game, while Spring Valley scored only once more. HUDSON 0 RIVER FALLS 7 October 20—The Blue Raiders played one of their best games of the season in holding down a veteran River Fa'ls squad to a 7-0 score. This was a hard-fought game, with Hudson time and again resiling the Orange offensive. River Falls' only score came in the latter part of the second quarter on a drive through the line from the three-yard stripe. HUDSON 0 NEW RICHMOND 7 November 3—In an attempt to avenge their mud-battle loss of the vear before, a strong delegation from New Richmond came to Hudson and defeated the Raiders 6-0 in a game that was nip and tuck throughout. The game was hard-fought defensively on both sides; only nine first downs were made during the entire game. This homecoming game was the last game for ten Hudson seniors, who deserve a good hand for playing so well against such difficult teams as they did this season. 5'� Senior Lettermeru FRANK DABRUZZI, ’39, Guard—Frank played hard and worked faithfully the whole season. He performed very well at a position that does not always get the credit due it. Frank had a keen insight into game technique, and often called signals. On defense Frank supported the line from the backfield. MARVIN FLATTUM, Captain, '38-’39, Quarterback—In Marv the Raiders had one of the hardest running blockers that Hudson has seen for a long time. On defense “Snap” moved into the line at strong-side tackle position, and there proved to be another threat. Marv was a shrewd captain and always displayed good sense in making decisions on the field. HARVF.Y HANSON, '39, Guard—This was Harvey’s first year on the field, but he handled his position like a veteran. Playing hard, Harvey stopped many plays at the scrimmage line. On offense ‘Harv” succeeded in driving open many holes for the backs to travel through. DORWIN LAMKINS, ’38-’39, Tackle—“Doc” was the “talkenest feller” on the team. A returning letterman from 1938, he showed the zip and snap that it takes to win ball games. He was a bear-cat on defense, continually pushing through the opposing line to stop the ball-carriers in their own hack- field. “Doc” possessed great courage, as was exemplified in his playing through a larger part of the season with a serious leg injury. JACK LIVERMORE, ’39, Guard—Good-natured ‘Sticky” had a spirit that refused to become undaunted in the face of anything. He did much to keep the morale of the team high throughout the season. Jack was a hard driver on offense, and opened many holes in the line for the hacks. An effective tackier, “Sticky , backed up the line on defense very ably and figured in on a big share of the tackles. DAN LYKSETT, ’38-’39, End—Dan returned as a letterman from 1938, and again exhibited his brilliant knowledge of the game, which made him a consistent threat to enemy backs. Dan seemed always able to mess up opposing team plays that were attempted around his end. Dan possessed good field gen- eralship and called signals during the greater part of the season. CLARENCE NOREEN, ’39, Center—“Ci” wasn’t a “flashy” player, hut his accurate passes from center made him a big asset to the team. On of- fense he had the double assignment of getting the hall to the carrier and then blocking his man. a job that he performed very capably. ‘ Ci” remained calm and collected under all conditions. HAROLD OLSON, '39, End—Following the team for two years as their manager, “Hard” learned a good deal about game theory, a factor which aided him very much when he came out to play in his senior year. Harold block- ed hard on off-tackle plays, and proved his worth on defense by capably handling the interference on plays around end. NORVAL OLSON, '39, End—“Pee Wee” displayed rare playing ability for a first-year letterman. His love for the game and his excellent work earned him the title of ‘ the player who has shown the most progress during the season.” He was an excellent pass-grabber, and thereby accounted for many of Hudson’s touchdowns. DAVID W ILCOX. '39. Fullback—Dave showed consistent form dur- ing the who’e season, being just as effective on offense as on defense. Dave had a good weight advantage that was a help in his drives through the line. His size gave him ideal material for his position. 63 football Lettermeru 1939 Fr nk Dan ©!

The game centered around the free-throw line with each team getting 19 gift shots. Bill Olson shared the high scoring honors with Eiker of Baldwin, each lad netting seven points. HUDSON 14 BALDWIN 20 Dec. 8—Baldwin again handed the Blue and White a licking, this time with a 14-20 score. The Raiders has as yet not reached their stride nor gained enough experience, and so were easy marks for the Baldwin quint. HUDSON 38 SPRING VALLEY 27 Dec. 15—After two losses the Blue Raiders settled down to begin the conference race, with a 38-27 victory over Spring Valley on the home floor. Led by Bill Olson with 13 points, the rest of the team showed a decided similarity to the championship Raiders of old. This victory was hard earned and well deserved. HUDSON 21 ELLSWORTH 23 Jan. 12—Leading by a score of 6-4 at the end of the first quarter, the Hudson basketeers slackened up on their defense, while the Ellsworth quint tight- ned theirs to forge ahead and capture the lead. They retained their lead to win a 21-23 victory. HUDSON 17 NEW RICHMOND 20 Ian. 19—The hard fighting Irish held the Blue Raiders to a standstill in a fourth period battle. The Raiders, led by Boh Olson, walked through the first three quarters, and piled up a six point lead, hut the Irish quint came hack in the fourth stanza and bagged nine points, leaving Hudson on the trailing end of a 20-17 score. HUDSON 33 RIVER FALLS 17 Jan. 26—A determined Hudson squad made up for the loss of “Pee Wee” Olson by defeating the age old rivals from the south. With “Pee Wee out of the lineup, many of the hoys were playing in places new to them, hut all exhibited themselves admirably. Both Boh Olson and Wilcox were outstanding in the wav they handled themselves on the baskets, getting 11 and 9 points respectively. HUDSON 29 COLFAX 31 Feb. 2—-Coach Fladager's proteges fell down to a fast, shifty Colfax five on the victor's floor. This game was another of those fourth quarter losses with the Raiders leading at the end of the third stanza 25-21, and Colfax leading at the end of the game 29-31. HUDSON 27 ELLSWORTH 22 Feb. 6—The Blue Raiders took the lead early in the first quarter of this game, and didn't relinquish it once throughout the rest of the tilt. Our'' con- ference rating, as the result of this game, was .500 with three wins and three losses. Bill Olson distinguished himelf as high point man with a total of ten points to his credit. HUDSON 43 SPRING VALLEY 30 Feb. 9—With a score sounding more like a college game than a high school en- counter. the Blue Raiders again flew the victory banner, this time over Spring Valley. With the score at the half 17-10 reading like anv normal game, both teams outstepited themselves to make the final score 43-30. The Olson twins secured the high scoring honors with 31 points between them, with Bill one point ahead of brother Bob. he ‘ Basketball Seasoru I CONTINUED i HUDSON 31 NEW RICHMOND 33 Feb. 15—Inspired by a nearly hysterical crowd the orange and black of New Richmond and the Blue and White of Hudson played exceptional hall. Both teams were evenly matched with the Hudson hoys having the slight advantage of the home floor, but as the game progressed New Richmond took the lead. With hut 30 seconds left to play Boh Olson tied the count at 29 all with his epic making field goal and free throw. This made the game go into a three minute overtime period which made the count come up to 31-33 with Hudson trailing. HUDSON 34 COLFAX 33 Feb. 20—'The Colfax quint proved to he the fifth victim to how to Coach Fladager’s plucky Blue Raiders when they were defeated 34 to 33 in an exciting encounter on the Maroon and White’s floor. Scoring for the Blue and White five was pretty well distributed with Boh Olson again capturing top honors. HUDSON 20 RIVER FALLS 29 Feb. 23—Giving the reserves a chance to gain a little experience. Coach Flad- ager played mostly second squad men against the veteran Orange and White of River Falls, only to have them defeated 20-29. Eugene Erick- son tied the experienced four letterman D. Foss for top honors, netting a total of six points. TOURNAMENT PLAYOFF HUDSON 26 SPRING VALLEY 21 Feb. 27—Having defeated Spring Valley twice during the season, the Raiders again captured the title role bv the slim margin of five points when they fought for the honor to com] ete in the St. Croix Falls tournament on the River Falls floor. Boh Olson went on a scoring spree in this game accounting for half of Hudson’s total. ST. CROIX FALLS TOURNAMENT HUDSON 28 RIVER FALLS 33 March 7—Opjjosed by a crafty, cagey Orange and White quint from River I'Jills, the Hudson Raiders went down to a 28-33 defeat in their o| ening game of the St. Croix Tourney. Led by “Farmer” Hansen, with seven- teen points to his credit, the River Falls five found stiff opposition in the Hudson squad. On the small end of a 19-12 score at the half, the Blue and White crept within striking distance on their rivals only to have the gun go off before they could strike. HUDSON 27 ST. CROIX FALLS 23 March 8— ith St. Croix halls having the slight advantage of the home floor, the fighting quint from Hudson defeated the home town hovs by a 27-23 score. With the defeat of the night before rankling the Raiders, they made a splendid comeback, with the five from St. Croix Falls matching them at practically every step; hut Hudson got the advantage in the first two periods and retained the lead to the end of the game. HUDSON 15 ELLSWORTH 13 March 9—In the final game Hudson defeated Ellsworth High 15-13 to capture the tournament consolation honors for the second consecutive time. Be- cause of the exceptionally tight defenses played by both teams, very few baskets were made, making the scone sound more like a baseball game than a cage tilt. Both Olsons again secured top honors with five points each. 64 Standing: Coach Anderson, Herbert Johnson. Sherman Peterson, Curtis Solsvig, Chester Anderson.

However, the games, played against rangy teams, were very close, which proved that the hoys were in there fighting. The total opponents’ points were only eight more than the “B” team’s, 169 points against 161. Although the hoys showed signs of discour- agement following one and two-point losses, they nevertheless went back to their posts in the succeeding games, and again played hard to win. 66 The Junior Raider’s Sp°rt year 5IX-MAN football was ushered into the Junior High Athletics curriculum this year as the successor to the eleven-man football, which has been played in previous years. Coach Walbrandt’s Junior high gridders again proved their allegiance to him and to the school by advancing his number of successive years without a gridiron defeat to ten. The team members included Robert Lyksett, William Holway, Stuart tiilbertson, Richard Rose, Hugh Rose. Harold Trieb, Patrick Richie, Otis Clymer, William Miller, Dean K rick son, and Gale Heffron.

The sports which were played in the intramural division are: Boys: All-nations Basketball Tennis Ping Pong Class Softball Girls: Class Speedball Class Volleyball Class Basketball Class Softball Class Track Tennis Bowling PING PONG 1940 Ping Pong again gained its strong foot-hold in Hudson High by the time the annual tournament was played the last week in April. This year twen- ty-four boys entered the tourney which was under the supervision of Miss Frances Kidd who also directed the noon recreation program. The boys who played in the tourney are: William Gartman Robert Lyksett Marshall Van Meter Wallace Jelinek Ben Montbriand David Petersen Tom Zezza Clarence Noreen John Gilbertson Ralph Cowles William Pfeiffer Herbert Johnson John Hoyer Albert Dabruzzi Llovd Olson Tommy Hughes Otis Clymer James Stavberg Edward Schouviller Harold Trieb Gale Heffron Kenneth Michaelson Eugene Richie TENNIS Tennis, which was introduced into the high school athletic curriculum two years ago, again afforded many of the students an opportunity to participate in the spring s]x rts. The tournament, held late last year because of the plans to recondition the school court, was finally played on the courts at the lake front with Orlan- do Holway and Jane Hurst winning the trophies in their particular divisions. With more than thirty students i� rtici| ating in the tourney, it was the most keenly fought tennis tournament held in Hudson High. 'I he two runners up were Cleo Helium and Elbert Sandberg. The tennis tournament for 1940 will again be held late due to the re- conditioning needed on all courts. It will he sti] ervised by Mr. Rock. ARCHERV Because there has been no actual competition is no reason why archery should not be classed as an intramural six rt. It has many followers who made their bows, arrows, and other equipment in the manual arts class; were taught the fundamentals of their hobby in gym class and after school; and have prac- ticed faithfully. Clarence Noreen and Sherman Peterson, who are ardent sports- men and the leaders of this group have combined their previous hobby of hunt- ing with archery and have made it into an exciting and gruelling game. SKIING Although skiing cannot be classed as an intramural sport, many of the more hardv “Norsemen” of the school belong to the Hudson Skii Club and de- serve recognition. The leading snow enthusiast in school is Jack Livermore, with manv others following in his wake. These skyriders often travel many miles to compete in the numerous tournaments held by the skii clubs and more often than not Jack and his colleagues bring home a few of the prizes. 68 foxing 1940 Hudson began her third year of boxing under Coach Henry Bargen with an exceptionally light squad of thirteen men; none of the hoys weigh d over 150 pounds. Because of the larger number of light boxers, a few of the fel ows sometimes had to fight opponents that were as much as ten pounds their weight superiors, and, in many instances the local hoys captured the decision. The team members were popular with all the fight fans because they put up good fights to their opponents, whether they won or lost, and also because many of the hoy.; were good boxers, not sluggers. Although all the boys looked to be pretty fair fighters, a few were quite outstanding; they were Lvle Halberg, Don Wilcox, Bob Kinney. Randall Becker, Ben Montbriand, and Reuben Richie.

Guest speaker of the evening was MRoundy” Coughlin, “the great prognosticator” and sage of Northwest sports circles. In his characteristic man- ner—sails sophistication and correct English—he gave his views on the many phases of sports he had witnessed during the year. Although the bulk of his talk made for hilarity and fun, he did put in a serious plug for high school athletics. He recommended sports as a wav toward the development of char- acter and courage in the youth of America—qualities, he added, that Americans need if they are to steer clear of the subversive movements that aim to under- mine our democracy. Superintendent Rock, in his remarks, thanked the City Fathers for the progress shown in acquiring a larger athletic field. He also voiced his hope for night games in the future. Coach Kenneth Fladager observed that although the 1940 team will have but six lettermen returning, promising underclassmen will join the squad. He therefore predicted a very good ball club in two years. Coach Fladager also nominated Norval Olson as the player who had shown the most develop- ment during the season. Line-coach Emil Anderson, captain Marvin Flattum, and captain- elect Chester Anderson were also called iqx)n for speeches. Although sixteen members earned letters, the school award system al- lowed only fourteen to receive them. Members who earned letters include: Chester Anderson Harold Olson Dan Lyksett Norval Olson Dorwin I.amkins Jack Livermore Clarence Noreen David Wilcox Frank Dabruzzi Harvey Hanson Marvin Flattum, captain Eugene Richie John Jensen Rueben Richie William Olson Robert Olson ffluy cActivity ‘Banquet The annual Activity Banquet sponsored by the Hi-Y was held in the high school gymnasium Monday, May 6. at 6:30 1’.

Dinner music was furnished by a small school orchestra.

Superintendent Rock and Miss Helen Hodgman had charge of ar- rangements. 71 urRgm the Irish” HOMECOMING, NOVEMBER 3, 1939 General Committee Donald Lomnes—General Chairman Catherine Ryan—Open House Marion Lombard—Downtown Decorations Vern Thompson—Finance Elmer Samson—Publicity Miss Francis Kidd—Adviser The 1939 homecoming proved to be a big success, although the loss of the game did prevent the event from being the success that Hudson had hoped it would he. The cooperation between students, faculty, alumni, and merchants was excellent, resulting in its being both a social and financial success. The festivities were opened with a bang-up pep-fest in the auditorium on the eve of the game. The game was followed by an open house in the gymnasium, which brought to a close the thirteenth annual homecoming. HOMECOMING PEP REST Announcer: John Gilbertson.

Don’t do anything you don’t want to do even if no one else in the crowd agrees with you. 4. Wear “gobs” of lipstick. It looks so nice when it begins to wear off in spots. 5. Repeat everything you hear wheth- er it’s true or not. This habit makes your company very desirable. For the Boys: 1. Never dress up. Girls adore those sloppy sweaters, baggy-kneed slacks, run- down tennis shoes that you wear to school every day. 2. Never spend anything on a girl. Hang around her house; she might have something in the ice-box. 3. Brag, by all means! She’ll love it! 4. Always talk about the girl you were out with “last night” when you’re on a date. 5. Never clean your fingernails or comb your hair. It adds to your appear- ance. 7 6 features Sonxj Dedication — “It’s a Hap-Hap-Happy Day”—Henry Gus- tav Johnson “Lost in the Night”—Bob Guith “I Want My Mama”—Those Freshie “Boogie, Woogie, Woo”—Marv Flattum 'Tui Just Wild About Harry”—Girls at the Malt I Want My Share of Love”—Don Martin “This Can’t Be Love”—Kenny Michaelson “Do I Love You, Do I”—Cleo Helium “Scatterbrain”—Joan McDonald “Blame It On My Youth”—Tommy O’Brien My Lost Love”—Gloria Hayde “Tears From My Inkwell”—Mr. Rock (making out failure lists) “Let’s All Sing Together”—Miss Hanson “A Man and His Dream”—Benny MacMil- lan Leaning on the Old Top Rail”—Pat Trol- len “Are You Having Any Fun”—Tommy Hughes “In the Mood”—Bill Olson “You, You Darling”—Alice Engstrom “You’d Be Surprised”—Ruth Lee “Dance With a Dolly”—Violet Schwerm «Co t— The power of concentration.

Dorwin said, “I Wilcox my gun and shoot it.” Oh, I think you are just Marv-elous,” said Charlotte. You are just the type of Kidd that would Rydeen to town, Strom on your guitar, and Carole beneath my window.” Just then “Pee-Wee” drove up in his Nash and said. “Use your ’Ed. You can’t shoot that bird. It has such a beautiful Kill. Besides you couldn’t hit it because it Bob-s around too much. Be a Chummo and give the bird at least a little chance. Why don’t you throw a Rock at it? Dorwin was not Shern as to what he should do. Finally he threw a Ball at the bird and it fell on the Lee side of the tree. “Kenny be dead,” asked Charlotte in amazement. Well, his Adams apple isn’t moving,” Dorwin replied Curt-ly as he Cameron-d to the tree. “Ivan-der if I struck him in the Art. When they were about to Frey the bird, a Parsons came over the hill and asked, “Are you thinking of Marion this girl? I am giving Bargen prices on mar- riages.” Dorwin said with a Wink. “Perhaps, but don’t Harold it all over town.” Diraf (Pnouenb — Time wounds all heels. Better to have studied and failed than never to have studied at all. A friend in need is—someone who wants five cents for a coke. A stitch in time saves nine, but who’s goind to mend anything that needs stitches anyway? God help him who helps anyone else in a history test. He killed two loves with one kiss.
