(Contents.'- Hans Meets the Classes Raggedy Ann and Music Hans, the Sports Fan On the Stage with Hans (lsT)0 the best work you can in school and volunteer for extra chores such as participating in scrap drives, purchasing stamps and bonds, and helping with the rationing program” is Su| erintendent Edward I’. Rock’s advice to students who wish to aid the war effort. During his school days at River Falls High and River Falls Teachers Col- lege, Brick, as he was called, occupied his leisure hours with football. Besides going to the University of W isconsin, he received his masters degree in educa- tional administration from the University of Minnesota. from the years 1923 to 1943, the time he has been superintendent of the Hudson schools, he has observed several changes, but he disproves the belief that the students have diminished in size. Probably the greatest change has been in the music field. From a (.iris’ (.lee Club that met once a week and was directed by a teacher who taught grade school music and art to a two teacher department and an activity that reaches almost every student in high school is the record of the music department under his encouragement. In conclusion Su] erintendent Rock remarks to the students, “1 wish to tell you that I appreciate the cooperation you have shown in the. time 1 have, been here.” Supt. £. (P. (Rock The faculty And now, Hans, I would like to introduce you to the members of our faculty. Here we are at the door of Miss Helen Hughes (13), our math instructor. Besides teaching her regular classes and coaching debaters, Miss Hughes is busy every minute performing a wonderful service for her country by conduct- ing night classes for boys about to enter the service of our country. The next teacher I would like to have you meet is Miss Joyce Chubb (5) under whose patient and understanding manner the fresh- men and sophomores master verb forms, parts of speech, and sentence structure. Giving speeches with gestures and producing plays are among the activities of her speech class. Shakespeare, Bacon, Browning, Shelley, and Poe become friends of the juniors and sen- iors as Miss Elizabeth Mcllquham (10) reveals their personalities. Every second week her room becomes a beehive of activity as the Times staff completes the paper for publica- tion. It is also under her guidance that the True Blue Annual is published. Before you are in this school very long, Hans, you will learn how indispensable Miss Alice Engstrom (8) is to everyone in the build- ing. I have never known her to lose her patience in spite of the fact that several times each period someone disturbs her to ask for the glue, stapler, or use of the phone. You needn’t sail clear to Timbuktoo to learn about this old world; just come in and pay a visit to Miss Ann Murphy (18), and she will tell you more about this earth than you ever thought possible for any one person to know. She’s a whizz at geography! Under the guidance of Miss Harriet Gil- bert (7) the departmental students learn the parts of speech and grammar necessary for their high school career. Miss Gilbert also teaches spelling, reading, and penmanship. Miss Marie Flekke (12) acquaints the world and American history classes with all the important dates and events that have happened in the past. Besides learning the facts of history, her students learn the correct pronunciation of research, recess, allies, and finance. Besides her other activities, Miss Flekke directed the senior class play. If you have been trying to translate some foreign idiom, Hans, Miss Use Wolfsberg (1) is just the person you want to meet. She came here during the second week of school and has done an excellent job of teaching us Latin and Deutsch. Miss Ethel Mathews (6) can expertly explain every detail of school, city and federal government as she often proves in her social science classes. Her social problems students have studied the problems of advertising, per- sonality, and vocations so they are prepared to face the world. As adviser of the junior class, she spent many hours helping with the prom. You will learn many interesting facts about rocks, weather, electricity, elements, gases, and motors from Mr. Wilfred Heiting (16), our science instructor. Besides guiding his science and chemistry students through their various laboratory experiments, he has started an electrical course. Mr. Heiting also coaches boxing and intramural basketball. If you looked through one of Mr. Ronald Murray’s (11) microscopes, you would probably see an amoeba or a cross-section of a carrot with which his biology students have become so familiar. Most of Mr. Murray’s spare time is taken up coaching football and basketball. You had better dispose of that gum right now. Hans, before we meet Miss Jenny Lee (2). Our efficient librarian knows just where to find each book, magazine, or leaflet in the entire library. Besides teaching eighth grade arithmetic and acting as senior class ad- viser. much of her time is taken up with her activities in connection with P. T. A. and the service honor roll. During those first days of our typing career when Mr. Harold Walbrandt (4) dic- tates “fjf fjf fjf” we realize how clumsy we really are. However, I have never known Mr. Walbrandt to lose his patience in spite of all our mistakes. In addition to his typing and shorthand classes, he coaches junior high ball teams. The teacher to explain practically any game is Miss Frances Kidd (17). During our gym periods she good-naturedly teaches us various game fundamentals, exercises, and first aid. During the last semester she coached the physical fitness program for the seniors. In the event of a cut finger, a sudden flash of pain, or an illness excuse. Miss Eliza- beth Peterson (9) is the first thought of every- one in school. She can handle any situation without becoming excited. During the first part of the year the home economics students prepared many de- licious breakfasts under the critical eye of Miss Lorraine Glasrud (19). Miss Marjorie Ruesink (15) has taken over Miss Glasrud’s task of introducing new recipes for preparing bread, apple sauce, and deserts to her cooking classes and teaching the sewing students the methods of making aprons, pinafores, and dresses. To help our country win the war Mr. Alvin Weitkamp’s (20) classes have built model airplanes which are used in teaching persons to spot all kinds of planes. Metal and wood work- ing and scale drawing are also a part of the work of his manual training classes. As ad- viser of the Activity Fund he makes sure the books balance. Our new band director, Mr. Jack Har- ris, (3) came from Fosston, Minnesota. His favorite instrument is the trombone, which he played in the University of North Dakota Band; he also capably teaches us to play all the others in the band. As adviser of the freshman class, he is confronted with many of their problems. Our vocal instructor. Miss Edith Hanson. (14) has already started many singers on the road to fame, and she is always working with beginners. Every hour of the day she is di- recting a Glee Club, small group, or a soloist. We’ll have to hurry along now in order to meet the classes before the day is over. LOUIS ALMEN He is one of the leaders of Hudson High School.

During the fall we were entertained at a basket so- cial by the seniors, presented the homecom- ing skit, “The Warriors of K. E. F.”, and sold the most concessions at the Hallowe’en party. The class officers elected for our freshman year were Audrey Otterson. presi- dent ; Thomas Hughes, vice-president; Iona Ryden, secretary; Joan McDonald treas- urer: Dorothy Detlefsen, council represent- ative: and Miss June Lawrence, adviser. Many “freshies” were present at the annual music contest. Nathan Wiener’s cornet solo was certainly outstanding. Sophomore class officers were elected at our May meeting. 1'hey were Eugene Richie, president: Dor- othy Ruemmele, vice-president: Elizabeth Pfeiffer, secretary: Robert Lvksett, treas- urer ; Flora Ann Simonson, council repre- sentative. Our second year in high school was marked by the increased number of 43’ers represented in Glee Club, Mixed Chorus. Band, football, and debate. October was highlighted bv the much-dreaded G. A. C. and Hi-Y initiations They weren't so bad. and we're glad we’re members now. Vivian Egbert, Thomas Hughes, and Louis Almep represented our school in the league declam- atory and extemporaneous speaking contest. Again it was time to elect new class officers. We chose Gale Heffron, president: Clairbel Clair, vice-president: Joyce Udell, secre- tary ; Stuart Gilbertson, treasurer; and Thomas Zezza, council representative. Our first months as juniors showed that our class cooperated and had ability. Seven junior boys, Harold Trieb, Eugene Richie. Stuart Gilbertson, Gale Heffron, Patrick Richie, Thomas Zezza, and Duane Morris- sette, were on the championship football team and earned letters. Eugene was chos- en as the 1942 football captain. During the basketball season Claire Erickson, Marhsall Van Meter, Gale Heffron. Eugene Richie, and Robert Lvksett played in many of the games. Joan McDonald, Vivian Egbert, Lorraine Simonson, Audrey Otterson, ITntis Almen, and Duane Morrissette participated in dramatics during the year, and many be- came Tachopera members. Also a great many of us | articipated in the spring music clinic and contest. Oh. Hans, our prom was so beautiful. It was based on a “May Day theme so the entire gymnasium was decorated with springtime flowers and scenes. Everyone had a “scrumptious” time. At the last class meeting of the year we elected Thomas Hughes, president; Don- ald Fry, vice-president: Claire Erickson, secretary; Inez Smith, treasurer; Lorraine Simonson, council representative: and Miss Jenny Lee, adviser, for our senior year. Early this fall we entertained the freshmen at a social hour to acquaint them with more students. To further the war effort we took charge of gasoline and food rationing. During our four years of school Robert Lvksett. Elton Hancock, Henrv Kolashinski, Otis Clymer, Melvin Wein- berg, Eugene Richie, Duane Morrrissette, and Robert Kinney were our favorite box- ers. Nathan Wiener was outstanding for his piano solos, Joan McDonald for her years as a majorette, and Lorraine Simon- son. Vivian Egbert, Georgene Sweet, and Audrey Otterson for their work in small instrumental groups. Many of our boys have joined the armed forces. We don’t like to see them go, but we know they are doing a wonderful job. I never will forget the night of the class play entitled “Old Doc”. It was so much fun watching our classmates perform. At last came Bacca- laureate, Commencement, and the end of our high school career. But, Hans, we’re going to miss these familiar halls. 20 rRepresentative Senior UDRHY OTTERSON was chosen Hudson’s representative senior for 1943. She has been an excellent student, has been a leader in school activities as shown by the fact that she was elected all school vice president, and was selected editor of the True Blue. She has participated in musical, dramatic, athletic, and journalistic activities. Audrey has been a loyal sup- porter of the finest ideals of the student body of Hudson High School, and the faculty is pleased to present the award to this deserving student.

Marching musicians led by a drum major, dancing couples, a musical boat ride, and a large staff of swing music decor- ated the walls. From the center of the ceiling hung a large treble cleff. and from here . black and white streamers were drap- ed to form a rippling ceiling. The lights were also decorated in black and white with notes suspended from them. Curtains of black and white covered the windows, and scattered here and there were lawn chairs.

Patricia Cox was our president: Thomas Schullo, vice-president: Lawrence Mickelson, secretary: Betty Lou Lohman, treasurer: and Ix is Brandt, coun- cil representative. Miss Margaret Rehmer was our adviser. The most important social event was the senior-freshman party on September 12. We were well represented in music, athletics, and speech activities. We came through last year with fly- ing colors and started school on Septem- er 4. 1942, determined to keep up last year’s record. Again we were active in extra-curricular activities as we were repre- sented by twelve members in ” ( ilee Club, seven in Mixed Chorus, seven in Boys’ (Tee Club, and a large number in hand. The football squad was augmented bv several sophomores. Dean Erickson, I-awrence Mickelson, David Sandberg, and Jack Zezza were on the “A” team in basketball. Six of our classmates took part in sj eech activ- ities. The social events of our class centered around three social hours where we had fun trying to improve our dancing.

Their social life began with the senior-freshmen affair. September 18. The “sore-toed” seniors used their persuasive jxjwers to lure the bashful freshmen to the dance floor, and I never will, as long as I live, forget the jitterbug- ging! Towards the end of the evening everyone ate a cheerio. Holding aloft blue and white umbrellas, which spelled out freshmen on one side and Hudson “Hi on the other, the freshmen ... Lyle Cameron Lester Muckenhirn . Gretchen Luebke . Kathryn Nelson . Eugene St. Ores . Mr. Jack Harris made a colorful display in the dedication parade. February (8 is also a red star date on the calendar, for that night the freshmen entertained the seniors. Besides dancing and playing games everyone ate cake ala- mode. Mr. Harris, freshmen adviser. Miss Lee, senior adviser, and Mr. Murray, guest of honor, added to the gaiety of the affair. Now that spring is here the freshmen are looking forward to a successful year as sophomores. 28 3 au Senior cActivities WILLIAM NELSON—Mixed Chorus 1, 2. 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Mixed Ensemble 3; Vocal Solo 3, 4; Operetta 3; Sextet 3, 4; Annual Staff 2, 3; Times Staff 3; Playground 3, 4.

This organization is com]X)sed of the more exj erienced voices from the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee clubs. The girls must have one year of glee club train- ing before they are admitted. Regular re- hearsals are held on W ednesday and Thurs- day mornings from eight to nine. During this period the members vocalize and learn to sing with each other so that their voices will blend and not be “breath-ie”. 'Fhe Mixed Chorus took part in the Christmas program, the spring assembly, and the annual contest at River Falls held on May 1. The contest selections were “Listen to the I ambs” by R.

De- cember 17, without fear of being bombed? Listen, the orchestra is playing Sander’s “Yuletide Echoes” to put us into a Christ- mas mood. It seems that ‘‘Adeste Fidelis” is more beautiful than ever when the sixth and seventh grade choir and Mixed Chorus sing it. Hans, our principal, Mr. Rock, is going to give us a Christmas message. Look, don’t the angels, Leila Evenson. Gretchen Luebke, Margaret Rock, Doris Hart, and Charlotte Hughes, seem radiant when the brass choir plays “Gloria in Excelsis Deo” and the Girls’ Glee Club sings “Joyous Christmas Song.” Carl Sandberg’s trombone solo ‘‘Naz- areth’’ is a good conclusion for the second tableau of shepherds consisting of (ames Lonergan, Robert Engebretson, and Harold ()lson. The three star numbers, the tableau, the sixth and seventh grade choir’s number, and the selection by the brass choir, are splendid. Good, the Boys’ Glee Club is singing “The March of the Three Kings , and William Nelson is going to sing “O. Holy Night with “The Wisemen Tableau fora background. Vern Ohrt, Henry Kola- shinski, and Elton Hancock are the wise- men. The Girls’ Glee Club number, ‘ Vir- gin’s Slumber Song, concludes the tableau perfectly. Don’t you think this “Madonna and Child Tableau” is the most impressive of all. Jane Williamson is Mary. Jacqueline Mor- gan is singing “Virgin’s Lullaby”. The Mixed Chorus is standing to sing the “Cradle Hymn”. I believe Jean Kees will play her flute solo, “Jesu Bambino”, next. I know that will he sweet music, for I have heard her practice. Now for the last tableau, “Adoration.” Doesn’t ‘Silent Night” put you into the Christmas spirit? 1 can hardly stir after that inspiring recessional of “Beautiful Savior by the Mixed Chorus. Don’t you think Miss Hanson and Mr. Harris should he proud of their musical numbers? Miss Hovde played the organ beautifully, and Donald Fry told the Christ- mas story to all of us over the sjx aking system. As always, Paul Kvarnes, Daryl McGinley, Phili]) Gerlach, and Mr. Weit- kamp are on the job with lighting and scenery for Miss Gilbert’s, Miss Flekke's. and M iss Chubb’s tableaux. Singing “Joy to the World”, “Silent Night, Holy Night , and many other Christ- mas carols, members from the “A” and 'B (ilee Clubs brought cheer to convalescents. Audrey Cleveland, Leila Evenson, Lovern Fenn, Jane Gilbertson, Frances Guild, De- merize Hawkins, Bonnie Meckel, Harriet Jonas, Beverly Morgan, Kathryn Nelson, Evelyn Ryan, Marion Schueler, Flora Ann Simonson, Lorraine Simonson, Helen Sveen, Marie Starr, Margaret Weather- head, and Eleanor Wilcox, were the early morning carolers. .15 (fTtlinor zTbhisiad Qroups CMALL vocal and instrumental ensembles a and the various soloists have played a very important role in the muscial programs presented at the high school and different club programs during the year. Every year Miss Hanson organizes girls, boys, and mixed singing groups to work toward the goal of the spring contest held at River Falls. The girls’ sextet, whose members are Evelyn Ryan. Marion Schueler, Lois Brandt, Jane Olson. Jacqueline Morgan, and Marion Thorson, sang ‘Marie Antoinette’s Song” by Jacobson at the contest. “A Tiny Seed Became a Shrine” was the mixed ensemble’s contest selection. The members of this group are Vivian Egbert, Ruth Zarske. Georgette Sweet, Joan Mc- Donald, Clairbel Cair. Claire Erickson. Donald W ard, and Merl Penman. The woodwind section of the hand has produced many small ensembles of the more advanced players. Other groups have been organized by beginners. The clarinet quar- tet, which is composed of Vivian Egbert, first chair; Alice Harrison, second chair: Lorraine Simonson, third chair; Audrey Otterson, fourth chair; played for their con- test piece, “Excerpt from the Piano Sonata No. 10” by Mozart. Jane Olson, Alice Harrison, and lean Kees made up the woodwind trio. At th ■ elimination contest they played the selection, “Beethoven Suite”, by Beethoven. This year there were a great number of soloists. The vocal soloists were Marion Schueler, Jacqueline Morgan, William Nel- son, Lois Brandt, and Evelyn Rvan. A 1 of these students have appeared on the stage at some time during the year. Their con- test selections were as follows: Marion Schueler, Love lias Wings ; Jacqueline Morgan. “Let My Song Fill Your Heart”: Evelyn Ryan, “A Spirit Flower”; Lois Brandt, “Say, Ye Who Sorrow ; William Nelson, ‘ Sometimes 1 Feel Like a Mother- less Child”. The instrumental department was re- presented by a variety of talented students. Hie basses had two soloists, Gordon Wilcox and Robert Engebretson.

Every Mon- day and Thursday night at four o’clock the familiar light and airy tunes ring through- out the halls as the members of the Girls’ Glee Club practice their contest pieces “Butterfly” by Cyril Jenkens and “Hymn to the Night” by Campbell Tipton. Nathan Wiener is their accompanist. The B Glee Club, which is composed of beginners, prac- tices from eight to nine on Monday. Early in the fall the Hoys’ Glee Club began rehearsing at eight o’clock on Friday, but due to the physical education classes they met on Thursdays at three during the second semester. Accompanied by Vivian Egbert, they sang “The Road Is Calling” by Walter Clement and Stouthearted Men” by Sigmund Romberg. 3S c9lf[usic T last the event of the year arrived for the musical groups of Hudson High School, Hans—the annual music contest held at River Falls. Due to gas rationing a one day contest was planned. To accomp'ish this the march- ing competition and evening concert were abandoned, and an elimination contest was held on April 16, for all soloists and groups with four or less members. Only the con- testants that received A’s at this preliminary were eligible for the final contest. Al- though on'y about one-fourth of the partici- pants from all schools present were chosen to compete in the final contest, a larg; per- centage of those were Hudsonites. Marion Schueler, Jacqueline Morgan, and William Nelson were chosen for the vocal contest- ants. Lvle Ward, Jean Kees, Allen Johnson. Joyce Ude 1. and the clarinet quartet were picked to represent Hudson’s instrumental department at the contest. On May 1, tire large and small groups from schools miles around gathered to per- form. Instead of singing and playing in the numerous churches in town, the instru- mental groups performed in the college auditorium, judged by Mr. Henning from Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis. The social room in South Hail and the girls' gymnasium were the rooms to visit to hear VOCAL Marion Schueler......... 1 Jacqueline Morgan.......2 William Nelson ......... 1 Girls’ Sextet .......... 1 Boys’ Sextet ........... 1 Mixed Ensemble.......... 1 Mixed Chorus............ 1 Girls’ Glee Club........ 1 Boys’ Glee Club ........ 1 Qontest the vocal soloists and large groups which were judged bv Mr. Anderson of Roosevelt High. We knew he would be a strict judge, for he has one of the finest high school chorus groups in this vicinity, and he realizes what high school students are cap- able of doing. All of us were kept busy running from one building to the other from eight-thirty in the morning until nine at night to hrar a'l of our classmates sing and play. Marion Schueler was the first one from Hudson to take part in the contest, and the Girls' Glee Club was last. Besides those who received A’s at the elimination contest the Girls’ Sextet, the Boys’ Sextet, Mixed En- semble, Mixed Chorus, Girls’ Glee Club. Boys’ Glee Club, and Band took part in the contest. Hans, you should have seen our groups. They looked so nice. The girls were dressed in | astel dresses, and the boys wore dark suits. At the end of the day all of us were tired, but not too tired to jump and shout for joy at the judges’ criticisms and our ratings, for the vocal judge said “the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee clubs thrilled him”! Hans, I’ve made a list of the ratings so that you will know the award each con- testant received.

The Raiders showed mid-season form and pow- er as they trounced the Orangemen 18-0. Captain Eugene Richie had a field night when he scored all three of Hudson’s touch- downs. October 2 HUDSON 7—NEW RICHMOND 7 Playing on a hot afternoon, the Mnr- raymen tied the Tigers’ jtowerful grid ma- chine 7-7 in a thrill packed see-saw game. The fray was marked by brilliant defensive play by both squads. Hudson’s only score came when “Bullet” Benedict whipped a forty yard toss to flanker Buster Lyksett for the touchdown. October 9 HUDSON 6—STILLWATER 6 I he Raiders, playing a sluggish brand of football, were able to tie the strong Ponev squad 6-6. Time after time the Blue and White muffed scoring opportunities and missed their chance for victory. George Richie blocked a Stillwater punt and scooted thirty yards for the only Hudson tally. George Richie and Duane Morrissette p'ay- ed fine defensive games for the Raiders. October 16 HUDSON 33—ELLSWORTH 0 Hudson’s powerful grid machine rolled over a weak Ellsworth team 33-0 as they continued their march toward the confer- ence crown. Captain Richie thundered for three touchdowns while Benedict and Cronk each tallied once. Coach Murray gave his second, third, and fourth squads a chance for experience in the final period against the helpless “Hubs”. October 23 HUDSON 7—MENOMONIE 0 The real test of the season came as a large homecoming dedication crowd watched the Raider powerhouse held to a lone touch- town by a rugged, threatening Menomonie eleven. Eugene Richie completely mystified the Indians as he scani] ered 38 yards for the only touchdown; Benedict converted. An impressive ceremony was held between halves as Mayor J. E. Newton dedicated the Hudson Victory Field. October 30 HUDSON 13—COLFAX 6 The Raiders travelled to Colfax to re- sume their title march. On a blustery, cold, windy day the Blue Raiders took measure of the Norgs. Eugene Richie and Bob Pen- man tallied for the Murravmen. The loose Raider defense allowed the Norgs to score in the final thirty seconds. November 6 HUDSON 47—SPRING VALLEY 0 All of the Raiders potential scoring power was utilized as they thoroughly trounced a hapless Spring Valley squad 47-0 in the season’s finale to tie with New Rich- mond for the conference crown. Scoring for the Raiders were Eugene Richie, twice, Eugene Benedict, twice, Richard Cronk. Patrick Richie, John Bowers, once, and a safety by Donald Gilbertson. The proceeds of the one sided scoring circus went to the Spring Valley Flood Relief Benefit. For the second year in a row the Raiders are conference kings with a fine array of stars for next year’s aggregation. 43 Senior Qridmeru EUGENE RICHIE, Captain. Left Half—A true all around football player. Gene lived and breathed footba'l for four years. His team mates elected him their field general during his senior year. A ter- rific line plunger, an unmatched o] en field runner, he was one of Hudson’s immortal gridmen. His ability held the respect of all conference foes. ROBERT LYKSETT. End—Follow- ing in the tradition of the Lyksetts, Bucker played a fine brand of hall at his end posi- tion. He was speedy on offense, stalwart on defense, and a glue-fingered pass snatcher, llis spectacular catch in the New Richmond battle tabbed Bucker as a top-notch end. CLAIRE ERICKSON. End—Claire amazed many fans in his first season of play. I fe capably held down the flank ]x st. His size and speed spelled tragedy for the opposition on defense. His stout heart and fighting spirit were typical of the Hudson line. STUART GILBERTSON, Tackle- Quiet and unassuming, Stu was a mainstay of the Hudson line for three seasons. His big bulk filled the tackle position. Time and time again he stop] ed the opponents’ thrusts. His brilliant play, often unheralded, was the backbone of a winning combination. He was a good team man with a fighting heart who will be long remembered by fans and foe alike. SPENCER PORTER, Guard—His temper and strength spelled ‘tackle’’ when- ever a back came near. Although not a regular, his wisecracks and innocent ques- tions aided the morale of the squad greatly. “Spence” loved to play, to tackle, to hit the dirt and to make bone hit hone in every block and tackle. HAROLD TRIEB, End—Harold, bet- ter known to the Hudson students as “Rub- ber Legs”, was nicknamed for his ability to carry the pig skin when the goine was tough. Harold, who was a regular end in his junior and senior years, will be great- ly missed by the succeeding team. For his swell performances both on defense and offense in the River Falls game he was awarded a plaque as a remembrance of his footba'l day. GALE HEFFRON. Halfback—Bud was the handy man of the Raiders’ back- firld. He played any position when he was needed. Bud proved to be very effective on both offense and defense although he had a fractured wrist at the beginning of the s ason. He had plenty of speed and drive, which was very suitable for his position. PATRICK RICHIE. Quarterback- Pat’s blocking as the blocking back enabled the halfbacks to break loose for long runs. As a center, in his junior year, his greatest feat was catching a blocked punt during the Stillwater game and scoring a touchdown. The squad will miss his spirit and courage. DONALD GILBERTSON, End- Don was one of the tallest ends the Raiders have had in many years. After playing two years, he ably earned his letter in his third year. His never ending courage and humor aided the team to be 1942 Co-Champions. Don is now fighting for the Navy. DUANE MORRISSETTE. Guard— “Duke” will always be remembered from the first day he donned a Hudson suit for the Blue Raiders when he strolled into the dressing room singing ‘ B'ues in The Night . Morry’s singing will long lie re- membered along with his ability to play football because of the pain he brought to those he played against. DAVID LONERGAN. End — Al- though it was Dave’s first year out for foot- ball and he didn’t have a starting berth on the squad, he was always out there waiting. When he did get in, he showed plenty of speed, something needed of an end plaver. Despite his lack of weight Dave was a game little player. 44 Lasso the Indians (C) U R homecoming was more exciting than ever this year, Hans. Our new ath- letic field was dedicated on the same eve- ning. It’s a beautiful field, and it looks just perfect when it's lighted at night. You should have seen oitr decorations! Donald Fry was the chairman of this com- mittee. His father drew a large poster of a cowboy (Hudson) lassoing an Indian (Menomonie). There were large welcome banners at the Fourth and Fifth street en- trances and one in the auditorium. At the night club, which was in charge of Miss Mcllquham’s and Miss Glasrud’s advisory groups, the decoration committee had little tepees on the tables and Indian-heads for the menus. Otis Clynier was the general chairman of the festivities, and he certainly did a fine job. Olivia Sandberg, Marshall Van Meter, Vivian Egbert, and Donald Fry helped him, with Miss Kidd as adviser. We had our pep-fest at 3 o’clock on the afternoon of the game. The organiza- tions in school each put on a skit. “What is this 1 see before me, the lacings toward my hand—” was only one of the quotations the Tachoperas used in presenting a take-off on the works of Shakespeare. The speeches in his plays were changed just enough to fit the occasion. The music department had a musical quiz. As the questions were asked of the students in the audience, a song was played as the answer. The questions were mainly about our team. The G. A. C. put on a melodrama showing just what our team was going to do to the Menomonie team. Movies taken around school and at the football field were shown hv the Hi-Y. A radio skit was presented by the debate group giving a play-bv-p'av prediction of the evening’s game. Mr. Murray, our coach, gave a short talk and presented some of the linemen with plaques as a reward for their fine play- ing in previous games. The cheerleaders and the band added lots of | ep to the program. At 7 o’clock a torchlight parade formed at the Fifth street playground and marched up to the field. Upon reaching the field, each class presented a short demonstration to carry out our theme. The freshmen had umbrellas with big letters on them to s| ell out the names. “Hudson Hi and Freshmen”. David Kvar- nes. a sophomore, led a cloth horse, inside of which were Theodore Clyrner and David Foss. Preceding them was an Indian tied with a rope. Don Fry, a senior, rode his horse for the junior demonstration and las- soed an Indian, Darvl McGinley, a junior boy. Several of the senior girls, dressed as cowboys, led an equal number of Indians across the field with ropes. 'Hie game was really a good one. We lived up to our slogan, too, and defeated the “Indians” 7-0. During the half the dedication cere- monies were held. The band maneuvered on the field, and then Mr. Rock, Mr. Sol- heim. Mayor Newton, and Gifford Nelson all made brief speeches. Mayor Newton dedicated and named the field, Hudson Field. 46 football Bancjueh O you know whom the 1942 football team chose for the 1943 captain. Hans? Dick Lamkin. Eugene Richie, our captain for this year, introduced Dick as our captain at the football banquet which was held in the high school gymnasium at 6:15 on Monday evening, December 7. Aft- er his introduction Dick made a brief sj eech thanking those who chose him and express- ed the desire to carry on in the traditional manner of previous captains. 'Hie first number on the program fol- lowing the banquet was a vocal solo. ‘Amer- ica, I Love Thee”, by Evelyn Ryan, accom- panied by Miss Edith Hanson. She was announced by Nathan Wiener, who acted as master of ceremonies throughout the pro- gram. Coach Walsh of St. Thomas College was the main speaker of the evening. Hans. He talked to the boys on the qualities and merits of football as a sport and urged them to take an active part whenever they could. The mixed ensemble sang, “Let My Song Kill Your Heart , accompanied by Miss Hanson. Mr. Murray said a few words and then turned the program over to Mr. Rock, who gave some of the outstand- ing qualities of the different players. As members of the championship team, the boys received white letters. You should have heard what Mr. Rock- said about Eugene Richie, Hans! He prais- ed him very highly for his outstanding playing during his four years of football, and he told us that Eugene was one of the few men to play on the A team as a full time player for four years along with Clyde Huddleson, 1931, William P,allion, 1936, and Dean Lyksett, 1937. Mr. Rock also stressed his fine qualities of leadership sav- ing that it was one of the factors that made our winning possible. Eugene received a gold football later on for being captain. Due credit was given to Melvin Wein- berg, Howard Norvold, and Harold Olson for their fine work as athletic managers. Mr. Rock expressed his deep apprec- iation and that of the high school students for Mr. George Schueler’s part in keeping up the football spirit at school. Mr. Schuel- er hasn’t missed a game in the last three years. After each game he drew a large ]x ster portraying outstanding parts of the games. At the end of the season he drew a final |w ster which summed up all of tin previous games. Wisconsin football pictures were to be shown following the banquet, but due to a delay in their schedule, it was impossible for them to get here in time. The movies of the Wisconsin-Northwestern game arriv- ed on February 15. and on that afternoon we saw the pictures of the famous Hirsch. Harder, Hoskins, and Schriener plays. The high school jazz orchestra fur- nished the dinner music during the banquet, which was so excellently prepared by a group of ladies from the Presbyterian Church. “DIG DEEP AND BUY A JEEP The students followed Patrick Richie’s earnest plea to “Dig deep and buy a jeep during the jeep drives held during the year. The objective was to raise at least $900. the price of a jeep. The first drive which was held in Feb- ruary proved very successful, for we over- ran our quota by nearly $400, netting a to- tal of $1300. As a reward for our efforts, Hans, a jeep that made a tour of the schools in the state stopped here for our inspection. The teachers had a lot of fun riding in it. We staged a second drive from March 30 to April 19, in answer to the govern- ment's call for more war bonds. During this period, approximately $2,200 worth of bonds and stamps were purchased. Joy Larson bought a $1,000 bond, the first one purchased here. As a result of this drive, we received a certificate from the govern- ment . 47 1942-43 Gagers Secont. Row—Melvin Weinberg.

SEASON'S STORY December 1 HUDSON 28— PRESCOTT 20 The small and inexperienced Raiders opened the season with a victory over a very good Prescott team. The local lads hit the n t from all angles and held a 14-5 half time lead. The reserves received ample chance to dispay their skill as Hudson substituted freely. Clymer lead the scoring with 11 tallies. December 4 HUDSON 14— MENOMONIE 36 In the second game of the season Hudson lost to one of the finest team this conference has ever seen. They had all six-foot players who held the cagey Dick Cronk. Hudson’s high-scoring forward, scoreless. Me- nomonie led 24-4 at the half, hut they were unable to reach top form again as the Rlue and W hite played them dead even. December 11 HUDSON 29—NORTH ST. PAUL 30 As the Raiders played the third game, a trait which darkened their door the entire season appeared, losing in the overtime per- iod. Hudson and North St. Paul staged a see-saw, fast, and well-fought game. This was one of the closest contests the local fans had seen for some time. As the game end- ed. the teams were dead-locked 27-27. In the overtime the Polars first drew a free throw, and the locals scored a basket to lead 29-28. As the time keeper raised the gun, a St. Paulite shot a basket to win the game for North St. Paul. C aire Erickson played one of the finest rebound performances of the year. January 1 HUDSON 19—ALUMNI 30 In a very rough and tumble game, of- ficiated by Mr. Rock and Mr. Heiting. the players were somewhat at a loss due to the fact that they were without Dick Cronk. The alumni had too much power and height, and the crippled Raider machine at no time could get moving in its usual form. January 5 HUDSON 11—SPRING VALLEY 29 Spring Valley had the game well in hand at all times, and their passing and shooting was as fiery as any of the hoys encountered a 1 year. With the loss of Cronk still showing greatly, the Murraymen were unable to come close to their pre- season form. January 8 HUDSON 31—NEW RICHMOND 29 As Cronk rejoined the team, hope as well as fire, drive, and determination re- turned to the Raiders as they went against their old arch rivals, New Richmond. Hud- son’s floorwork, shooting, and passing never again reached the perfection of this night. The Raiders were behind 16-12 at the half, hut in the last two periods they displayed 48 UjlZc m yomj AAXXJJrnJ XAju T rvJ A. r a cl (p meJ % 1942-43 Ccigers the real ability they had. After they held a 25-22 third quarter lead, the game was tied in the closing seconds by New Rich- mond 29-29. In the overtime the Raiders took control of the hall and worked a smooth pass play. The basket was netted, and the boys held the “Doughboy Dudes” scoreless, winning 31-29. Cronk lead the scoring with 10 followed bv Gene Richie with 8. January 15 HUDSON 28—ELLSWORTH 30 The Murraymen next journeyed to Ellsworth and suffered a heart breaking 2 point loss. The Hudson team was leading 27-26 in the final two minutes when two regular players were expelled on fouls. Two had already been put out. leaving only one veteran player. With this shocking blow tbe Raiders of the toll city were unable to prevent the powerful “Hubs” from scoring two baskets as the Blue and White managed to make a gift shot. Cronk and Clymer led the scoring with 14 and 12. January 22 HUDSON 22—RIVER FALLS 27 After leading at the end of the third period, the Raider offense and defense bog- ged down while the Orangemen forged ahead to win 27-22. Again the locals fought gamely but couldn’t muster enough power to win. January 29 HUDSON 26—SPRING VALLEY 27 In an overtime period the Raiders dropped an exciting 26-27 decision to the alley boy's on the home floor. The game was hotly contested with the Maroons pull- ing the game out of the fire in the final ten seconds. February 5 HUDSON 23—NEW RICHMOND 42 The Tigers from the ‘ city beautiful displayed a spirited first half offense on their home maple, but the Raiders stayed on fairly even terms to end the half 19-17. New Richmond showered the net with baskets in a second half rally to end the game 42-23. Cronk and Clymer led the Hudson scoring co’umn with nine and six points. February 12 HUDSON 28—RIVER FALLS 30 The Murraymen dropped a close over- time decision to River Falls 30-28. The lo- cals had spark and drive but were unable to outscore the fighting Orangemen. February 15 HUDSON 26—NORTH ST. PAUL 31 The Raiders traveled to North St. Paul where they met the speedy, suburban league quintet. The local boys held the lead at the end of the third stanza, but the Polar’s speedy type of play combined with their scoring punch gave them the decision 31-26. Clymer of the toll city boys was high man with 13 points. February 19 HUDSON 22—ELLSWORTH 24 For the second time in the season the Hub City boy's nosed out the Raiders by two points. The battle began swiftly with neither team having a decided edge. The Blue and White held a 13-10 advantage at the half and maintained their lead during the second half. Clymer led the Raider scoring with ten points. February 25 HUDSON 14—RIVER FALLS 32 Winding up the season on February 23, the Raiders play'ed the Orangemen on the River Falls court, the winner entering the sub-regional tourney held at River Falls. The locals trailed 12-10 at the half time, but the Orange went on a scoring spree while holding the Murraymen to four points the second half. 50 c„Boxing Squad Kenneth Christensen Clayton Chryst Robert De Witte Robert Engebretsc n Dennis Kinney Robert Kinney Henry Kolashinski James Kukuska Richard Lamkin Darrel Luebke Robert Lyksett Sherwood Marsh Duane Morrissette Lester Muckenhirn Eugene Richie David Sandberg Gerald Schlief Eugene St. Ores Jack St. Ores Gordon Wilcox Anthony Zappa Lyle Cameron John Bowers Ernest Richie Oliver Lyksett 51 Hudson (fMdtt 5eason_j HUDSON 5 SOMERSET 6 The Raiders met Somerset in their season's debut.

C. year, Hans, a steak fry was held at the I .ake Front Park to which all the old and prospective members were invited. It was really fun, and every- one had a grand time. Next came the initiation which was dreaded by the prospective members. They had to come wearing pajamas and shoes of different kinds. After the oath was given to them, they proceeded to the gymnasium where they had to go through several tests. First they were required to roll a peanut across the gym floor and hack again. You should have seen them, Hans, their faces were just black. Each new member then had to take off her shoe and throw it in a pile in the center of the gym. Several of the old G. A. C. members took time and patience to tie them all together with some exquisite knots. As a surprise the last six to get their shoes had to clean up. Ye then fed them a concoc- tion of every spice and food in the kitchen including limburger cheese. Some of the girls felt ill, hut before the end of the eve- ning the prospective members regained their lively spirit. A delicious supper was served in the sewing room. The menu was hot dish, cabbage salad, milk, rolls, and cake. To conclude the evening each old mem- ber put a new member’s hair up in curl rs. The next day there were many beautiful and unusual hairdos, and everywhere girls were kneeling to upper classmen saying “You are superior; I am inferior.” For homecoming and dedication each organization had to pre] are a skit or play and present it in assembly. We put on a melodrama. Hans. Alice Harrison was the student body: Joan McDonald, the team: Betty Jane Detlefsen, the game; and Beverly Rulien, the Menomonie Indian. Patricia Cox was the narrator. Junior Q. cA. Q. year All the members of the Junior G. A. C. participated in the sports during the year, and eight of the girls earned three hundred fifty points, which is enough to receive a G. A. C. badge, Hans. They are Jeanine Dumond, Jane Gilbertson, Shirley Erh, Lo- verne Fenn, Kathleen Hallenberger, Bonnie Heckel, Roxana Kruse, and Marie Starr. Any junior high or freshman girl who is in- terested in s|)orts is eligible for membership. Early in the year the Junior G. A. C. elected Roxana Kruse, president; Shirley Erh, vice president: Gretchen Luebke, sec- retary; Eunice Simpson, treasurer; Jeanine Dumond, point secretary; and Lorraine Kruse, student council representative. To help the school put on the annual football banquet, they gave five dollars. On the evening of March 29, the Junior G. A. C. girls had a social hour in the gymnasium. The girls invited boys and had a delightful time dancing to music from the “juke box. Refreshments consisting of coke and dough- nuts were served. 54 SENIOR G. A. C. Fifth Row—Lorraine Simonson.

Beverly Rulien There goes the whistle, and another year of G.A.C. sports has begun. Hans. KICKBALL Kickball began the year’s s]x rts. Prac- tice teams were chosen, and after several nights of practices class teams were formed. Since the seniors, juniors, and sophomores had each won two games, it was decided that the juniors should play the sophomores, and the winners play the seniors. The jun- iors won both games, making them champ- ions. Betty Jane Detlefsen, captain, of the junior team, had Jean Kees. Marv Lough- nev, Catherine Peterson. Phyllis Hauke. Dorothy Hancock, Joann Ryan, and Ruth Erickson on her team. SCRIMMAGE BALL Sixty-seven girls reported for scrim- mage ball, and after several practices class teams were chosen. The c'ass managers were seniors, Joyce Udell; juniors, Bonnie Lee Nelson; sophomores, Dorothy Guith; and freshmen, Jane Gilbertson. The seniors were champions in this tournament. Those on the team were Jovce Udell, Olivia Sandberg, Helen Persell. Margaret O'Connell, Dorothy Ruemmele, Gloria Foss, Betty Lyksett, and Beverly Rulien. BASKETBALL Due to the need for practice and the large turn out for basketbal'. we played color teams first. Class teams were chosen for the tournament, which was held after school on Tuesdays. The members on the winning team were Olivia Sandberg, cap- tain, Beverly Rulien, Flora Ann Simonson. Margaret O'Connell, Gloria Foss. Helen Persell, Joan McDonald, Audrey Otterson. and Betty Lvksett. VOLLEYBALL Volleyball started with fifty-six report- ing for the first practice. Since there were so many girls out, it was decided to divide each class into two teams, a red and a blue. The senior reds won the tournament with Joan McDonald. Gloria Foss, Margaret O’Connell. Vivian Egbert, Dorothy Ruem- mele, and Helen Persell on the team. The faculty, including the Misses Joyce Chubb. Marjorie Ruesink. Frances Kidd, Carol Hovde, Ilse Wolfsberg, and Doris Skindlov, played the senior red and blue teams. They defeated both teams in close games. BOWLING Two girls’ bowling teams were chosen with Betty I.ou Lohman and Vivian Egbert, as captains. They bowled two lines every Saturday morning. On February 7, a tour- nament was held between the gir's and the boys. Catherine Peterson and Vincent Car- darelli took first place; Betty Lou Lohman and George Richie, second; and Joan Evans and Jerry Kukuska, third. 56 Cr CAjW d -4je cJUUiJUlu (XiMAJ Mb' %e£ tyirst fAid URING war time especially, everyone should he acquainted with the prin- ciples of first aid. That is the reason every student in high school was required to jkiss the standard first aid course. The course consisted of twenty hours of class work, and a total of seventy-five points had to be obtained in order to pass the course. These points were earned through tests in digital pressure, class work, artificial respiration, practical problems, and written tests, with a maximum of twenty points for each test. We were the only school in our conference to have all the classes pass in the first aid course, Hans. In our classes we studied correct wavs of caring for different ailments, and then we also learned to perform artificial respira- tion correctly, to put on all kinds of ready made splints, how to improvise our own splints, and to transport injured people in many different positions. Physical Education rProgram._j A physical fitness program was carried out by all the senior boys and girls and all other eighteen year old students in school during the second semester, according to the plans outlined by the Federal Govern- ment. A physical examination was first given to all those students so that no one would be taking the course who was not physicallv fit. The purpose of this program was to strengthen the students here at home for more strenuous work which they may be called upon to do at a later time. The boys’ class was held from eight to nine o'clock every morning. They had a routine of twelve different exercises which strengthened all parts of the body. The girls’ class was held during the 1 :10 period every day. They, too, followed a routine of twelve exercises, but these were not the same as those used by the boys, nor were they as strenuous. Variety was added to this program by various tumbling acts and ro| e exercises done while the boxing ring was set up. As our part of the physical education department assembly program, which was given on May 4, we performed many of our exercises in the gym. This time. Hans, we did them to the music of such familiar strains as the “Marine’s Hymn”, “Anchors A weigh” and “Mary’s a Grand Old Xante”. Although we had done them many times before, we were a little nervous doing our exercises before an audience. 58 fi vti-y David Foss David Kvarnes Donald Ward Lyle Ward Eugene Richie Patrick Richie George Richie I .ouis Almen Charles Johnson e9YCembers Allen Johnson Arlyn Weinberg Richard Lamkin George Olson Jack St. Ores Howard Norvold Norman Olson Robert Lyksett Gordon Wilcox OFFICERS President ...............................

The Hi-Y cluh room reopened to pro- vide a place for the members to spend their spare time. Most of the members made use of the facilities and received a great deal of enjoyment during their time in the room. A monitor system was established which re- quired one member to be in charge for each day of the school week. Billiards, table tennis, and checkers were the games played. ()n the educational side, speakers were obtained to discuss our post-war reations with other nations. Mexico. South America, and Germany were the topics of discussion. Miss Flekke, who has traveled in Mexico, gave an interesting description of the people of Mexico with particular emphasis on th.-ir habits and customs. Miss Murphy proved that she was treading on familar ground in her discussion of South America and its people. Miss Wolfsberg, having been a resident of Germany until 1939, was well qualified to talk on Germany’s present con- dition and her future. The talks coupled first hand knowledge with scholarly advice. It can be truthfully said that everyone went away with a better understanding of these countries and their people. The Hi-Y entertainment, an annual event, was very successful. The main fea- ture. which was a play with an all boy cast, presented Lancelot Briggs, Arlyn Wein- berg; Imuis Almen, Mrs. Curtis; Rui ert Smith, Jack St. Ores: Gordon Wilcox, Jesse Briggs; Professor Ingoldsby, Norman Ol- son; and Mrs. Briggs. A'len Johnson, in “The Trysting Place”. Miss Chubb was di- rector, and Donald Ward, assistant director. Also a part of the varieties was an amateur contest. Willetta Hope received first prize; a group of kindergarten girls, second: Mary Ruemmele, third; and Oliver Lyksett, door prize. Allen Johnson played a xylophone solo, “Moonlight Becomes You”. Eugene Richie acted as master of ceremonies for this entertainment which five hundred per- sons attended. Perhaps the largest undertaking of the Hi-Y club this year was the purchase of a Service Flag for the entire school. The flag was presented to the school at Com- mencement . A party was held to interest new mem- bers for next year. Each member invited a prospective member. We hope that this effort will prove successful, for now as never before, we need to “create, maintain, and extend throughout school and commun- ity high standards of Christian character. 63 rDebaters Otis Clymer Irene Hillary Nathan Wiener Charlotte Hughes Thomas Hughes Elaine Gibbon Louis Alnien Margaret Harwell Donald Fry Elizabeth Williamson Frances Gund Olive Dickinson Alice Harrison Bonnie Rose Eugene St. Ores Marylis Zentzis l ois Kukuska Mary Miller Theodore Clymer Helen Harrison Dean Erickson Curtis Nickelby Carl Ahlgren Howard Cox Lila Haugen George Forsythe Jerry Sellers Warren Otterson Virgil Worrell John Gilbertson Ward Stevenson 64 'Debater jD ESOLVED: That a Federal World Government Should He Established. The affirmative stand on the debate question centered itself about the often ac- cepted theory that the wor d is but a com- munity. They pointed out that creating a federal world government would be ‘ arming the law not the litigant , a practice, the exact opposite of which, has manifested it- self under the present nationalistic policy of all countries. The affirmative plan offered not only a solution to curing warfare but also socia!, economic, and jxditical security to all people. A federal world government is not workable was the argument of the negative side. Equality is an unknown quantity within many countries such as India: yet the basic prniciple of those who advocate federal world government is equality among fifty-two countries throughout the world whose inhabitants speak almost thirty dif- ferent languages and worship in about the same number of ways. No matter if the cost of this arrangement is based on popu- tlation or the wealth of the nations, the United States will bear the brunt of the finances. Since conditions are changing constantly, the negative team believes every- one will profit most bv waiting until after the war to make plans. The first team consisted of Otis Cly- mer, Nathan Wiener, Thomas Hughes, and Louis Almen. The team made their first trip to New Richmond December 4 and 5 with Miss Hughes, debate coach. At this debate each debater was teamed with a boy or girl from some other school. Our debat- ers teamed with students front Amerv, Chippewa Fa Is. South St. Paul, and New Richmond. Otis’s team entered the semi- finals, and Louis’s team won first place in the consolation round. On Saturday. January 16, they travel- ed to South St. Paul to ] articipate in a tour- nament with schools from the Dakotas. Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Louis and Na- than took the affirmative side while Thomas and Donald Fry upheld the negative. The affirmative won two out of four debates which included last year’s state champions of Minnesota. The negative team also won two and lost two debates. (Dn Friday evening, February 19. Thomas Hughes and Donald Fry debated against Louis A'men and Nathan Wiener for a P. T. A. program at the Northline school. For their last trip of the year the team went to Chippewa Falls. They placed fourth out of approximately twenty. Thomas and Otis upheld the negative, win- ning two of their four d bates, and Louis and Nathan won two out of four debates for the affirmative side. Thomas and Otis were defeated by Menomonie and Grants- burg but won over River Falls and Amerv. Louis and Nathan defeated Ladysmith and Durand, but were defeated by Chetek and Chippewa Falls. Kau Claire and Grantsburg won first p'ace by winning seven out of eight debates while New Richmond and Chippewa Falls won six out of eight, tying for second place. Hudson won four of their eight debates. Several questions were discussed by the junior high debate teams including the state question. Two typical questions in- cluded “Resolved: That we should go to school on Saturdays” and “Resolved: That girls should not wear slacks”. The latter proved to be the favorite topic of discussion although there were very good arguments for all questions. On the latter question the boys were teamed against the girls. The debaters teamed in mixed groups, lx ys against girls, and one grade against another grade. 65 achoperas ) influence more students to take part in and enjoy the s| eech activities which the school offers is the Tachopera Club’s ideal, Hans. Early in the fall the Tachoperas held their first meeting to elect their officers. C'lairhel Clair was elected president: Thomas Hughes, vice president; Marion Hope, sec- retary; Marion Schueler, ]x int secretary; Bonnie Lee Nelson, council representative: and Miss Chubb, adviser. For the homecoming skit the Tachop- eras presented a short satire on some of Shakespeare’s works. What fun the old members had initia- tion night watching the prospective mem- bers! Shortly after officially accepting the new members, the art of applying make- up was studied. During the middle of the year, a new constitution was written and adopted. As members of a speech club they enlivened their interest in plays by keeping in contact with plays that were running in St. Paul. (purtain Qoing Up Trapped in an elevator isn't the most pleasant thing which can happen as Miss Ellison, Marion Hoj e. the store manager: and Mrs. Richardson, Lois Brandt, a weal- thy patron, soon find out. Daisy, the ele- vator girl, Betty Ixiu Lehman, stalls the elevator so that the ribbon girl, Beverly Morgan, cannot reach the boat and meet her husband-to-be. Miss Ellison and Mrs. Rich- ardson both have important appointments to attend, and Patricia Cox, as the news- paper feature writer, watches the develop- ment with pleasure. Strange as it seems everyone who has visited the “Inn of Return” always comes back later in life. Miss Travers, Vivian Egbert, consults Dr. Darby, Melvin Wein- berg, about this mystery. In the meantime the guests, who were there the night of George Mann's death, begin returning. The Spinwell sisters, Jane Olson and Eleanor Chryst, come. Shortly. Murphy, Theodore Clymer, and Randall, James Lonergan, also stop because of the rain. The ghost, Allen Johnson, returns, and Charlie Cook, Arlvn Weinberg, confesses that he killed Mann. When the ghost tells that he is the doctor’s best friend, all ends happily. It’s really bad when a robber tries to break into a house and finds out that “No- body Sleeps!” Spike. Tom Hughes, tries to break into a house and finds himse’f mixed up with the Busby family. Sixteen year old Daisy, Marion Schueler, is on her way for a midnight snack. Trying to make Spike consent to eating a sandwich, she arouses Ada, Margaret Weatherhead, Glory, Lorraine Simonson, and Mrs. Busby, Dar- lene Sherburn. After Mrs. Busby has cor- nered Spike and made him confess, she lets him go. Finding out he has a morning pa- ])er route, she begins wondering what Mr. Busby does until six every morning! After watching these entertaining plays one cannot forget the directors. Miss Chubb and Mr. Michaelson, a cadet teacher, and the assistant directors. Flora Ann Simonson, Alice Harrison, and Peggy Erb, and the stage managers, Daryl McGinley and Philip Gerlaeh, who worked diligently to present these one-act plays to the public on Friday, November 20. 66 c3-Cuclson cJfigh’s “Aryans” DECLAMATION Marion ScTiueler. Margaret Weather- head, Jeanine Duniond. and Marion Hope represented Hudson in the league contest which was held on April 7. at New Rich- mond. At the league contest “Tonight Will He Different” was given by Jeanine Du- niond. and the other serious d clamation piece. ‘ The I -ast Boat , was presented by Marion Hope. On the humorous side of life Marion Schueler’s selection was “Salt- box. 1760 . and Margaret Weatherhead's piece was “The Twelve Pound Look”. Next the speech participants traveled to River balls. April 14. for the district con- test. Miss Chubb was the coach. EXTEMP )RANEOUS SPEAKING Thomas Hughes and Otis C’.yrner re- presented Hudson at the league contest held at New Richmond. Otis Clymer. who re- ceived an “A , went to the district contest at River Ralls where he received a ‘ B . EXTEMPORANEOUS READING At the league contest Patricia Cox and Marion Thorson were our representatives. Marion Thorson was awarded an “A” and went to the district contest. She received one of the three “A’s” given for extempor- aneous reading. It is hoped that this will encourage more students to participate in speech activities. Elizabeth illiamson Gretchen Lueb- ke, Kathryn Nelson, Charlotte Hughes, and Roxana Kruse represented Hudson at a speech contest held in St. Pau' in March. Miss Chubb coached extemporaneous reading. ORATORY “Our Guiding Stars” was the name of Louis Almen’s original selection. He receiv- ed an “'A” at the league contest and a “B” at the district contest. Miss Hughes coached Louis Almcn. 68 '■(5rue SBlue Staff ANS. here is the picture of the staff who recorded our adventures at Hudson High. They can't even spare a minute to have their pictures taken, hut they seem to he enjoying it. Supervising tire work is Miss Mcil- quham. Hardly a day goes by that some- one doesn't ask. “Where are the pictures? How do you spell “adviser”? When should these articles he finished? , but she patiently answers them. I believe C airbel Clair, who drew the sketches of us. is discussing the offset pages with Marion Schueler, also an artist, and Audrey (Hterson. editor. Many of the pic- tures of students were taken by David Lonergan, Marshall Van Meter, and .Mien Johnson. Albert Dabruzzi and Daryl McGinley have that little brown box which contains the names of the annual subscribers. They’re kept busy solving financial problems. Hans, I wonder what original ideas Joan McDonald and Otis Clymer have for the features. Marion Hope, who writes about forensics, seems to be interested in them. Joann Ryan, assistant editor, Dorothy Ruemmele and Ixirraine Simonson, senior editors. Betty Jane Detlefsen, junior editor, and Kathryn Nelson, freshman editor, are planning the class pages. Dorothy Ruemmele did the writing on the offset pages. News from the music world was gath- ered by Jean Kees while Margaret Weather- head kept track of the sophomore's calendar. Boys’ sports were once again reviewed by Marshall Van Meter. Theodore Clymer reported on intramural sports. Feminine athletics were closely watch d and discussed by Olivia Sandberg. Items about banquets, homecoming, and debate were some of Vivian Egbert’s contributions to the annual. Filling rush orders was an every day occurrence for the typists, Georgene Sweet and Dolly Schwerm, but they did it good- naturedly. 69 Eyes and Ears of EJEudson EJEigh Have you visited the journalism class.

I hear Nathan Wien- er, the president of the Student Council, our governing body, elected by the students, calling the semi-monthly meeting to order. Seated by the president is the vice president, Audrey Otterson, and Lorraine Simonson, the senior class member, who suggested a dance to raise money for our buy-a-jeep drive in charge of Patrick Richie. The members have already chosen the all-school committees and are discussing other pressing problems. It was through the Student Council that new records were purchased, and a student committee to re- ject uninvited guests at social hours was appointed. Planning the dedication of the new fie’d and providing for a football vic- tory banquet were all a part of their work. Through the efforts of Thomas Hughes and Marshall Van Meter a system of award- ing tennis letters was passed. At the all-school election the activity managers, Louis Almen and Merl Penman, and publicity manager. Jack St. Ores, were elected as well as the president, vice presi- dent, and secretary. Again this year the Student Council adviser was Mr. Rock. The members of the Student Council are representatives of the advisory groups, classes, and organizations who are elected at one of their business meetings. 71 “Old T oc” f IGHTS! Curtain! Telephone! and the senior class began at 8 o’c'ock Friday evening. May 14, with the lines, ‘ Dr. Hillary's office . It's spring in a small town where the country physician’s home is the center of activity, and “Old Doc’s life is governed by the aches and ] ains of his patients. “Old Doc (Thomas Hughes), a gruff vigorous man of seventy, who roars at all his patients hut never neglects them, plans to attend the graduation of his son Boh (Henry Ko'ashinski). Bob went to school in the least and has plans of practicing with Dr. Kdmond Brand (Ralph Guggemos) in- stead of returning to help his father as Old Doc believes. Janet Martin ( Joan McDon- ald), his devoted niece. Dick Burns (Gale llcffron), who is moon-struck over Janet. Pa Brown (Stuart Gilbertson), and Ma Brown (Inez Smith) try their best to get Doc on his way, but at the last minute he is detained by a serious case. Frequently the Doctor’s plans are al- tered by the appearance of a patient. Mrs. Rossi (Gloria Foss), a poor Italian woman brings her “little Tonv in for a check-up and repeatedly says, “1 have no monies”. Lois Warner (Audrey Otterson), the most adept flirt in her “crowd”, comes to Mar- garet (Vivian Egbert) to have a burn treat- ed and give some unwanted advice to Margaret concerning her love affair. Throughout the play Margaret aids Doc in caring for his patients and consoling them in times of trouble. Mary Selby (Olivia Sand- berg) comes to seek Old Doc’s advice about her mother who feigns a heart attack at the mention of marrying Danny. Mrs. Cronin, the old Irish woman whose husband goe; on drinking sprees is played by Clairbel Clair. Mrs. .Melon (Dorothy Ruemmele) is constantly imagining she “ails” and is known for her overdrawn telephone conver- sations until her nervous energy finds an outlet in caring for little Tony. While Bob is on a trip with Dr. Brand and his daughter, Helen Brand (I«orrnine). Old Doc collapses from over work and dis- appointment in Bob’s d cision to practice with Dr. Brand in Boston. On his death bed a telegram was read to him which said: ‘ Arrive tomorrow nisdit. Coming home to stay. 1 1 he the next Doc Hillary of Mason County. Lovingly. Bob.” Old Doc died with peace of mind. One month later Old Doc’s house is reopened, and Bob and his friends have re- turned from the trip. Ma confesses writ- ing the telegram, and Bob’s sudden anger is changed to gratitude when he learns her mo- tive. Boli and Margaret are reunited, and the Brands continue on their way. Lawyer Hepple (Louis Almen) turns Doc’s books over to Ma. Bob fulfills his father’s wishes bv tak- ing over where n,d Doc left off with this as his creed. “Whatsoever house I enter, there will I g for the benefit of the sick. The play was under the direction of Miss Marie Flekke. Robert McGrail and Patrick Richie were stage managers: Jac- queline Morgan, property manager: and Robert Lyksett. publicity manager. Bar- bara illiamson was in charge of programs, and Miss F.ee. tickets. The student director was Flora Ann Simonson. «Baccalaureate The haccalaureate services were con- ducted by the Reverend Oscar Thompsor. Tlie Mixed Chorus, under the direction of Miss Hanson, sang the selections, “Beauti- ful Savior,” arranged by F. Melius Christ- iansen and “Incline Thine Ear,” arranged by Basile Kibalchich. c3{igh School 'TDays SAre Over The postwar world was chosen as the theme for the 1943 commencement exercises held May 28, at 8 o’clock, Hans. The dignified seniors, clad in dark blue caps and gowns, marched to the plat form while Miss Hanson played the processional. After the seniors received the invocation, ten minute speeches were given bv four of the seniors. Our class president, Thomas Hughes, summed up the world of today and the outlook for tomorrow. Louis Almen spoke on ]x stwar education: Vivian Egbert discussed social reconstruction; and the eco- nomic reconstruction of Europe was review- ed by Audrey Otterson. Vocal selections included the Girls' Glee Club as a group, and Jacqueline Mor- gan and William Nelson as soloists. Nathan Wiener, our talented pianist, played a piano solo.
