Senior Class History The curtain is rising on the four act play, “The Class of 1950”, presented in Hudson High School by a talented cast of sixty-two members. The whole four acts were directed by Miss Helen Hughes, who must be commended for her splendid job. ACT I 'lime—1946-47 Place—Hudson High School Managers — Chairman—Charles Nelson, John Breault, Sally Cunningham, Joan Grady, Thomas Haugen. Cast—All 75 members of the freshman class Director-—Miss Hughes As the first act begins, we see a troupe of frightened boys and girls being led through the halls by several confident seniors. As the act progresses, the freshmen begin to join the various organizations and soon find their place in the complicated whirl of activities. ACT III Time—1948-49 Place—Same Stage Crew—Director—Robert Gerlach, bellied bv Gwen Peterson, George Madson. John Martinson, and Janice Brathall. Cast—Same as in Act II Director—Miss Hughes A “Garden of Memories” highlighted the third act, and this “garden” proved to be the theme of the Junior Prom which was a huge success. The juniors were proud of two of their members, George Madson and Charles Nelson, who made the “A” basketball squad and had rea- son also to be proud of two speech students, Pa- tricia C vngenpeel and Jane Hennessey, who went to the Madison speech contest. Football and boxing saw many juniors out, and G. A. C. had its share of junior members. ACT II Time—1947-48 Place—Same Managers—Chairman—Kenneth I .arson assisted by George Madson, Robert Zarske, Juliann Ryan, and Rita Ruemmele. Cast—All 73 sophomores of that class. Director—Miss Hughes The curtain rises on a happy party that is in full swing. All through the act this class seems to enjoy a full social life because at every oppor- tunity they seize a chance to have a class party in the gym. What a change has come over these sophomores. They are as familiar with school as if they had been there all their lives: and a good number of them have joined band, glee c ub. high school choir, girls’ and boys’ sports, and speech. ACT IV Time—1949-50 Place—Same Stage Crew—Kenneth Larson along with George Madson. Rita Ruemmele, Charles Nelson, and Robert Zarske. Cast—62 Seniors. Director—Miss 1 lughes Solemn seniors attired in caps and gowns filed across the stage in the fourth act and after a successful year highlighted by a humorous three- act Senior Class Play what could be a better end to a very well presented play but Commencement ? 19
