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. IS
