c he rR$ad We SHave traveled . . . 'Hie road we have traveled has been similar to one after a rainstorm of knowl- edge—bumpy in spots and smooth in others. During our four years' journ v, we have had to make numerous stops to 'et off sixteen of our orignial sixty members who entered the |x rtals of Hudson High School as bewildered, little freshmen. Our first immediate problem in 1942 was to elect officers, which was done capably by electing Lyle Cameron, president; Lester Mucken- liirn. vice president; Gretchen Luebke, sec- retary; Kathryn Nelson, treasurer; 1'iugene St. Ores, Student Council representative; and Mr. Harris, adviser. Our sophomore year proved a little more exciting for the boys, as we 1 as the girls, because we b came eligible for more activities. Some of the hoys decided to choose the bumpy detour and went all out for sports, while others chose the safer way and developed their talents in the mu- sical field. The girls were well represented in G. A. C., Tachoperas, one act plays, and the musical organizations. The year 1943 a'so found us losing part of the male population of the class to Uncle Sam. Lyle Cameron, Gerald Schlief. Marvin Solsvig, Jerrv Kukuska, Carl Ahlgren, and Ernest Richie all heeded the call. Jeannine Du- mowl. one of the more active girls of our c ass also left us this year. Out officers for 1943-44 were presi- dent. Eugene St. Ores; vice president. I homas O’Connell; secretary, Lester Muck- enhirn; treasurer, Helen Sveen; Student Council representative. Roxana Kruse; and Mr. Walbrandt, adviser. Hie incline on the race for the home goal, graduation, seemed a little steeper in our junior year. The prom was the main task and accomplishment, with June Jack- son and Jack Cornelissen as co-chairmen. The theme was “Hawaiian Night” complete with sailboat and palm trees. It was a great success with a large attendance. By now we were well represented in debate and declam boasting nine members. As the end of the year approached, we found time jassing us bv a little faster, and the road a little easier with the aid of our class officers. Gretchen Luebke, presi- dent: Kathryn Nelson, vice president: Rox- ana Kruse, secretary; Jack Cornelissen. treasurer; Student Council representative. Eugene St. Ores; and Mr. Walbrandt, adviser. The first peace time senior class in four years was our distinction as we launch- ed on the last lap of our journey in Sep- tember of 1945. Our first annual event was the fresh- man-senior party in the fall when we be- came acquainted with the class of '49. Some of us have heen outstanding in musical groups, and Elizabeth Williamson went to the State Speech Contest. Lester Mucken- hirn. Robert Engebretson, and Eugene St. Ores were captains of basketball, football, and boxing, and Lester was a'l school presi- dent. The senior class has been active in all extra curricular activities and there was a large turnout for the tryouts of the class play, “Vivacious Lady , which was an out- standing success. Two more seniors were added to our roll toward the end of the year. They were Robert Penman and George Richie, both World War II veterans. Finally the rough road we'd traveled became concrete pavement and we flew, all too fast, through the memorable days of Baccalaureate, class day, tests, and finally commencement—leaving them all behind us in a cloud of dust, but with wonderful memories of never-to-be-forgotten days.
