Faculty and Classes Greetings and congratulations to the faculty and students of the Hudson High School of 1950-51. Your year has been another milestone in the development of your characters and personalities. We are indeed fortunate in living in a nation where one has the opportunity and privilege to develop one’s faculties and abilities to an unlimited extent. May your appreciation to society be reflected in your success and service to yourselves and your fellow men in the future. Our reaction to a troubled world should be shown in our courage and deter- mination to keep our land a place of freedom and opportunity for all. Freedom as we have known it can be maintained only through hard work, sacrifice, and unselfish devotion to our responsibilities. Remember that freedom is more precious than life itself. Henry Van Dyke has expressed this clearly in the following lines: “Four things a man must learn to do If he would make his record true; To think without confusion clearly; To love his fellow men sincerely; To act from honest motives purely; To trust in God and Heaven securely.” SvfwUKtCHcteKt SduHVicC p. ernest McMillan Instrumental Music ANN MURPHY Geography Departmental ETHEL MATHEWS Social Science ROBERT TORGERSON Algebra Biology JENNY LEE Library MRS.

Thomas has exhibited capable leadership, loyalty to the finer ideals of life, and splendid scholarship. I Ms special contributions to Hudson High School have been in the fields of speech and music, and he has given a good account of himself in many other extra- curricular activities. Because he is always friendly, courteous, thoughtful and has shown a fine type of character and loyalty to his school, the faculty is pleased to present the award to this deserving student. Senior Class History After four years of high school we leave with the fondest memories. Sixty-six ambitious students with eyes wide open to our new adven- tures enrolled September 12. 1948. We elected Thomas Haugen as our class president; Geraldine Trudell, vice president; Edward Boody, secre- tary ; Dorothy Richie, treasurer; and Alta Christ- ensen our Student Council representative. Before we knew it. we shy freshmen were in band, glee clubs, orchestra, and debate. The boys took part in their favorite sports of football, boxing, and baseball. We finally became brave enough to give a one-act play, “Honey of a Peach,” which opened a new field to us. After a busy summer vacation, we came back as “big” sophomores. It was now our chance to look back on the green freshmen. With Ger- aldine Trudell as our president; Rosemary Porter, vice president; Joanne Slater, secretary: Audrey Petersen, treasurer; and Willetta Hope, Student Council representative, we had another successful year. We were still sixty-six in number and full of pep and energy. David Borg and Ronald Jensen were our stars on the football and basket- ball teams. We were active in the speech field with Rosemary Porter going to the State Speech Contest and rating an “A”. When we came back as upper-classmen, we were fewer in number; but that did not hinder its from participating in extra-curricular activities. I homas Haugen was elected again as president; David Borg, vice president; Mayelva Daniels, secretary: Janet Solsvig. treasurer; and Richard Stayberg, Student Council representative We presented our very successful three-act play, “Let Me Grow Up,” under the direction of Mrs. Dehne. We seemed to enjoy giving it to the public. Our prom, “South Pacific,” was the big event we had been looking for and planning since we were freshmen. In our senior year we gave the three-act play, What A Life, and we found ourselves veteran actors and actresses. In every extra- curricular field we were members. e are leaving these walls of learning in which we have spent four wonderful years. We shall always be proud to say that we were grad- uated from Hudson High School in 1951 !

In a more serious vein, we leave them to become the leaders in music, sports and speech-knowing that we leave everything in responsible and competent hands. To the sophomores—we leave them to fill the places just vacated by the juniors—now that they are upperclassmen. We would like to leave them success and happiness in their high school careers.

On our recent trip around the world, we met many of our old classmates again and thought you might be interested in hearing how they are pros- pering. First we visited with those who are still living in the Northwest. Ed Boody is now working on another invention which will enable him to deliver milk without getting out of the truck. Ray Wein- berg is now the owner of one of the most fabulous night-clubs in the Northwest, formerly “The Port. Willetta Hope, the first woman sheriff of St. Croix County, has just recently captured one of the most notorious criminals in the Northwest, “Spider Webb. Dave Borg and Ronald Jensen are now on the Lakers “first five. Just outside Hudson, Joan McDiarmid and Bonnie Willie are operating a riding stable. They specialize in Arabian thoroughbreds. Renee Conley and Mary Ellen Olson have opened the Singer Sewing Center newly established in Hudson. Doris Nelson and Gwen Lein are the co-owners of the Hudson Dairy Bar and are attracting a lot of out-of-town trade. While shopping in the Loop of Hudson, we ran into the former Barbara Moelter doing her shopping in the rapidly growing Ohrt’s Super Market. She told us that she had been named the “Model Mother of 1971. After visiting with our old friends, we took the atom-run train to Chicago where we encountered LeRoy Johannsen. He is now the publisher of the most widely read English books. LeRoy told us that we shouldn’t miss the roller derby while we were in Chicago. So, that evening, we saw the roller derby where Helen Johnson was racing for the championship. Next, we traveled to the Indianapolis speedway where we saw Bob Klund win first place in the hot rod race. Mayelva Daniels also was visiting in Indianapolis while we were there. As you prob- ably know', she has taken Emily Post’s place in the world of etiquette. The next morning we left for New York City via the new jet Trans-Continental Airline rocket, piloted by Dick Moen, who has had much experience in the air. We landed at St. Ores Field, which was changed from LaGuardia after Alan took office as mayor of New York. Our first night in “the great city, we attended the Metropolitan Opera which is now featuring Joanne Slater in “Madame Butterfly. At the opera, we saw Lorraine Frazier who is to become the bride of John Rockerfeller, Jr., VI, in June. As we were walking down Broadway, we noticed that Rosemary Porter is now starring in the successful play, “The Sailor’s Wife. We are sorry to say that we weren’t in New York at the time Russ Johannsen was defending his heavy weight title at Madison Square Garden. While we were in New York, we were invited to stay at the Waldorf-Astoria by the manager, Don- ald Lindstrom. One evening we watched Eleanor Nelson’s “Story Telling Hour on television, which had as its guest star the lovely and talented Dorothy Richie. We also noticed a lengthy article in the “New York Sun” about Fred Clymer’s success- ful wild animal hunt in the deepest jungles of Africa. When none of us could sleep, we tuned in to George Wright’s all night disc jockey program called “Wright’s All Night Music. While we were in Paris, we visited Pierre’s (Tom Haugen’s) dress shop, where two of the fore- most models in Paris, Mimi, (Joan Nickleby) and Cheri, (Jerry Trudell), w'ere modeling gowns created by the exotic designer, Fifi, (Annette Staberg). On our way to the Far East, we stopped at Andora where Kenneth Hanson has just recently been appointed as Admiral of the Andorrean Navy. Delores Linehan is now living in the heart of China. She is writing a novel called “The American in China. Rita Hallenberger is acting as her pri- vate secretary. From China we flew by jet rocket to Alaska to visit w’ith the former Sally Dickenson, who is teach- ing English to the Eskimos. Then we flew to Hollywood, California, where we saw' Ronald Lein’s world premiere of his picture, “The Swede Among Strangers.” Lowell Windahl, the wealthy cattle rancher, was also at the premiere to congratulate Ronald on his wonderful performance. After our round-the-world journey, we were glad to get back to Washington, D. C., to discuss our travels with our neighbors. Catherine Loughney, the first woman senator from Wisconsin, and George Johnson, U. S. Secretary of Agriculture. As you see, Mr. Heiting, all of us have gained some measure of success, although perhaps our careers didn’t prove to be exactly what we had planned when we left you.

Miss l.ee W hen the class of 1952 entered the Hudson High School in September of 1948, no doubt we were as confused as any freshmen class. Although some of the subjects were definitely required, we could make a few choices. After our pro- grams were organized, we had to learn to budget our time because it was a new exjierience for us to have study hours sej arated from class hours. However, our routine school work pro- gressed very satisfactorily as many of 11s qualifi- ed for extra curricular activities. We were well represented in Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, band, debate, and orchestra as well as in football, bas- ketball, boxing, and G. A. C. W e returned as energetic sophomores after a fun-packed vacation to earn a place for our- selves in the annals of Hudson High. We con- tinued our good work in outside activities as well as in scholastic achievements. As sophisticated juniors, we are nearing the top of our success ladder with more outside activities to participate in than ever before. We kept busy with Band. Mixed Chorus. Glee Club, Debate, and G. A. C. 1 he boys excelled in all the fields of sports, and we had reason to he proud of the six junior hoys who were on the A basketball team. I hey were I homas Salmon. Dean I leston. Dean I-arson. Donald Johnson, William Weitkamp. and Robert Nelson. Robert Iverson received the coveted honor of being chosen football captain for 1951-1952. Now, with exams over, we are leaving three very successful years behind us and are looking forward to our final vear here, and our futures. 23 Fifth Row—Robert Lewis Nelson, James Johnson, Richard Larsen, Douglas Morrissette, Terry Beaudry, John Peterson.

Ronald Graham ........ Mr. Richie As the end of our sophomore year comes to a close, we look back wistfully at two of the stepping stones in our school life. As fresh- men. sixty-one of us started our way across the river of success. e chose for our guides, Jerome Hanson as president; Robert Means, vice president; Mary Jo Westhoff, secretary; Catherine Hooley, treasurer; Stephanie Kees, council representative; and Mr. Richie as our adviser. Our first leap seemed wavering in places; nevertheless we were very active in sports, music, and other extra-curricular activities. As we prepared for our second step, we seemed much more confident of ourselves. We were very active in every phase of our school life this year. We were represented in all large music groups as well as Girls’ Octet, Triple Trio, Mixed Ensemble, and small instrumental groups. ()ur boys were also active in sports. We are proud of them. James Fredrickson and Richard Adams helped us pull through several tough basketball games. Jerome Hanson also maae the “A” string. Some of our bo vs were also very active in football and boxing. I bis year we assisted the seniors in putting on a Snow-ball Formal during the Christmas holidays. his proved to be one of the out- standing events of the year. As we look forward with anxiety to our two coming years in Hudson High, we feel more confident in being able to take on the responsi- bilities of juniors and seniors. FRESHMEN President ....

We are the largest class ever to attend the Hudson I ligh, and we are all very proud of this fact. We were all a little green at first, but before long we a 1 became accustomed to our new rou- tine. ()ur first social event was the Freshmen- Senior party. This was truly a success. Our class members were well represented in the fol- lowing extra curricular activities: Mixed Chorus, 'I riple Trio, Girls' and Boys’ ( lee clubs, hand, and orchestra.

JUNIOR HIGH FO()TBALL SQUAD September 15 HUDSON 12—BALDWIN 7 Hudson defeated Baldwin in the first conference game at Baldwin. The eager “Raiders’ were almost set back due to j enalties and inex- ] erience. Bowers passed to Borg for the first touchdown, and Johann- sen went over the goal for the second touchdown.

HUDSON 37 -GLENWOOD CITY 0 The “Raiders’ took their second victory on the local field by trouncing Glenwood by a glorious 37 points. The “Raiders” defensive line play completely stymied Glenwood’s running game. “Dewey” Persell intercepted a pass and ran for the first touchdown. Lowell Windahl suffered a severe shoulder injury which kept him out of competition for the rest of the season. September 29 HUDSON 19—SPRING VALLEY 7 MIDGET An alert group of Hudson gridders capitalized on the opponent’s mistakes to win over the rugged Valley team. Captain “Russ” bad a big night scoring two touchdowns and did a good job of line-backing. Thorson received a pass from Bowers for a touchdown ending the first half. Then “Russ” came back and made the final touchdown. October 6 HUDSON 0—STILLWATER 13 FOOTBALL SQUAD Second Row — Gary Cameron, Robert Plahn, Rodney Flattum, David Peterson. Wayne Olson.

'fhe “Ponies” halted Hudson’s winning streak. Hudson’s best offensive effort was driving the “Ponies’ to their 11 yard line only to lose possession of the ball. We took the back seat to the superior Stillwater team losing this non-conference upset in a torrent of rain.

In years past, the “A team and “B” team were two separate teams. This year the “A” and “B teams were combined and played all the inter- scholastic games. All other hovs who were in- terested in playing basketball went out for intra- mural. December 1 HUDSON 30—NEW RICHMOND 49 Hudson opened its '50-'51 season by travel- ing to New Richmond. The tall “Tigers” took the game bv a score of 49-30. Since this was the first game for the “Raiders, they had a little difficulty in getting organized. December 5 HUDSON 39—HARDING 50 This year Hudson opened up a series of non-conference games with Harding High School of St. Paul. Minnesota. It seems that “Ole” Thorson and “Bones” Jensen were unable to participate in this event due to some difficulty and thus weakened the team. December 8 HUDSON 52—ELLSWORTH 60 The battling Ellsworth team came to Hud- son to down the “Raiders for their third consec- utive defeat. Ellsworth’s giant center, Gilbertson, made a record score of 29 ] oints. “Ole Thor- son and Dave Borg were high point men for the “Raiders with 17 points each. December 15 HUDSON 50—GLENWOOD CITY 20 The “Raiders finally got on the winning streak by traveling to Glenwood City. “Ole Thorson and Dave Borg did most of the scoring in the rather one-sided game. Jmi nary 12 HUDSON 31—RIVER FALLS 50 It seems that Hudson had another one of those “bad nights when they journeyed to River Falls, but Dave Borg had sharpened up his shoot- ing eye and was one of the high point men of the game. January 16 HUDSON 42—COLFAX 46 When the “Raiders went to Colfax, they were slightly outplayed again. “Bobby Nelson and “Bones Jensen were in shooting trim to give the Colfax boys a hard time of it. January 19 HUDSON 67—BALDWIN 45 Hudson really had a “hey-day when the Baldwin team visited here with “Ole” Thorson and Dean Preston scoring 15 points each and Dave Borg scoring 18 points. January 23 HUDSON 29—SPRING VALLEY 42 The “Raiders” seem to have had most of their bad luck “on the road because when they went to Spring Valley they were again nosed out. Must be the out of town women, eh Bones? January 26 HUDSON 55—MENOMONIE 59 One of the most exciting games of the season was the night Menomonie journeyed to Hudson. It took an overtime to beat the battling “Raiders that night with Dean I .arson, David Borg, “Ole Thorson. and Dean Preston hot- shooting for dear old H. H. S. February 2 HUDSON 59—NEW RICHMOND 56 Still on home-court, the “Raging Raiders took sweet revenge on the hard fighting New Richmond team. Along with “Honolulu Borg and Dean “Elaine Preston was a newcomer to the scoring field, “Don” Johnson. February 6 HUDSON 38—ELLSWORTH 52 Back on the road again our “men of the court suffered another defeat by the strong Ells- worth team. Doing most of the scoring for Hud- son was Dean “Lars” Larson with 16 points. 34 HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL SQUAD Third Row Ronald Graham, manager. Charles Wright. WllMam Weitkamp. Jerome Hanson.

Old standby, “Dave” Borg, came across with 12 points while another newcomer, James Fredrickson racked up 8 points. February 13 HUDSON 35—HARDING 40 When the Harding High team came from St. Paul for a return non-conference contest, it again nosed out the “Raiders . High scorers for the Hudson team were—you guessed it. Dave Borg and Dean Preston. February 16 HUDSON 60—RIVER FALLS 59 The final game of the season proved to be the most exciting of all. River Falls visited Hudson, and the two teams made such a contest of it that it was necessary to play an overtime. Since the first five had fouled out by the end of the regular game, Coach Torgerson had to fill in with members of his “B” string. In the over- time “Jim” Fredrickson and “Tom” Salmon of the “B” string came through to win the game for Hudson. TOURNAMENT February 24 HUDSON 42—MENOMONIE 68 In the first tournament game the “Raiders were nosed out by the ever battling Menomonie team. Since they could go no further in the tournament, this game closed a varied season for the “Raiders.” The Menomonie hoys continued on to win the Regional Tournament at Spring Valley, the Sectional Tournament at Menomonie. and were defeated in their second game at the State Tour- nament in Madison. JUNIOR HIGH BASKETBALL The hoys in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades comprised the Junior High squad which was coached by Mr. Heiting. They made up five teams and carried on a series of games among themselves. Team names and captains are as fol- lows : “Badgers, James Walbrandt; “Knicker- bockers,” Richard Kottke; “Fighting Irish, Wayne Haushalter; “Gophers, Kenneth Larson: “Lakers, Frank Heckel. James Walbrandt’s “Badgers were victor- ious in the first half of the season, and Frank Heckel's “leakers” won the second half. In the play-off at the end of the season Janies Wal- brandt’s “Badgers” came out on top to be the season's champs. INTRA-MURAL The intra-mural squad was divided into eight teams. The season was divided into two halves with twenty-four games in each. In the first half Raymond Weinberg’s “Hot-shots were the victors, and in the second half Dave Ohrt's “Cagers” came out on top. In the bitterly contested play-off Ray Wein- berg’s boys were victorious over Dave Ohrt’s “Cagers to be champs of the season. 36 Third Row—Robert Lewis Nelson, Roger Evenson, Carl Knutson.

During the course of the season, the squad dropped down to about twenty-five due to sickness and injury, but the coaches and Captain “Russ Johannsen man- aged to whip the boys into sha] e with little difficulty. “Russ” really did a won- derful job as captain and led his boys to become the Middle Border Boxing Champions of 1951. The squad will lose five good men this year when Captain “Russ” Johannsen, Robert Klund, Kenneth Hanson, and Lowell Windahl grad- uate and Steven Houman will be unable to participate in boxing next year because of the age ruling. March 20 HUDSON 5—RIVER FALLS 5 The “Raiders” came out in fine style when they were guests of the River Falls boys. It was the first fight for some of our fighters, but they battled hard and came through with a tie score. Weight Hudson River Rolls Winner Dot Forfeit River Falls Gnat B. Bethke Pesher H udson Fly D.

Eleanor Nelson Vice President ..................... Helen Johannsen Secretary ............................. Nancy Rargen Treasurer............................ Mayelva Daniels Point Secretary...................... Dorothy Richie Student Council ..................... Marlene Olson Adviser ................................ Miss Resser Among the many extra-curricular activities there is one organization which is for the girls alone. This is the Girls’ Athletic Club. The G. A. C. was advised this year by Miss Lois Resser and is composed of sophomore, junior, and senior girls. There is also a Junior G. A. C. to which the seventh, eighth, and ninth grade girls belong. Perhaps one of the outstanding events of the year was the initiation of the new members. These girls came to the supper in very ridiculous costumes and had to do everything from reciting a nursery rhyme backwards to being a cheerleader and the rooters at the same time. The next day the new members came to school as the humble servants of their “superiors”. The girls are given points for each sport in which they participate. There are twelve games to every season. If a girl is present for nine of these games, she will receive 125 points; if she is there for six games, she will receive 100 points. There are nine practice games and three tournament games. To he eligible for the tourna- ment a girl must he present at at least four of the practice games. Each girl must earn 100 points to remain in G. A. C. Points mav he earned outside of school by such activities as hiking, skating, swimming, skiing, and horse-back riding. When a girl earns 350 points, she receives a G. A. C. emblem; 750 points a medal. If, by the time she is a senior, she has earned 2.000 points, she will be awarded a letter “H . The sports begin with kickball in the fall. Eleanor Nelson was the head of this sport. The practice games were played and then came the tournament in which the juniors took the honors. The next Sjxirt was basketball, and the juniors were again victorious. Sally Dickenson was the head of this sport. Next came volleyball with Audrey Petersen as the head. Last, but not least, came softball, headed by Helen Johnson: how- ever, at the time of writing this sport had not been completed. The dues for each G. A. C. member is 35 cents a year. They also raised money by selling coffee and doughnuts at football games. At the end of the year the big event was the pow-wow. At the this time the tables were turn- ed, and the girls did the dating and took care of the financial details. This proved to be a great success. JUNIOR GIRLS’ The number of girls who came out for Jun- ior G. A. C. was large. In order to be a member of this organization, each girl must earn a total of one hundred points. This may be done in several ways, hiking, skating, swimming, horse back riding. Dues of sixty-three cents a vear an paid bv each member. The initiation of new members usually takes place early in the fall. Each new member must dress according to the rules given her bv her ATHLETIC CLUB master. This initiation proved to be a lot of fun for all. )ne of the special events was the G. A. C. dance. This war it was held April 27. This dance was different from any other because the girls had to invite the bovs. They also paid for any financial details. Members of the Junior G. A. C. are fresh- men and eighth graders. The eighth grade mem- bers aren't permitted to play in sports with the Senior G. A. C., but the freshmen are. 48 SENIOR G. A. C.

This year the Hudson speech students at- tended the speech clinic at the River Falls State Teachers College. This clinic was the first ever to be held in this district. It dealt with all phases of speech including declamation, oratory, extem- poraneous reading and speaking, plays, and also a radio demonstration. The Hudson debate squad was chosen to present a demonstration debate for the clinic. Members of the two squads participating were Thomas Haugen, Geraldine Trudell, Marlene Ol- son, and William Weitkamp. The next major event for the squads to attend was the New Richmond Invitational Tournament. This tournament lasts for two days; and when the debaters arrive in New Rich- mond, they are given partners from different schools. They are coached by a coach from a third school. The debaters are given rooms in private homes in New Richmond. Besides the debates, there are many social events to attend. This tournament enables the debaters to get acquainted with students they will meet at other debates. Students from Hudson who attended this tournament were Marlene Olson. William Weitkamp, Phyliss Benoy, and Thomas Haugen. The South St. Paul debate tournament was the next one attended. This tournament is an annual event which is given by the South St. Paul High School for the debaters of five states. Students from Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and North and South Dakota participated in this tournament. The main feature is that no team is picked as tournament winner, but individual ratings are given. The senior squad voted not to attend the tournament at Chippewa Falls. The speech stu- dents are endeavoring to balance the budget this year so that in future years more trips may be made. The junior high debaters had meetings on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 11 :30 to 12:00. This group discussed the national ques- tion as well as local issues. STUDENT SAFETY COUNCIL President Vice President Secretary .... Adviser ...... . . Ronald Jensen Russell Johannsen ..... Marv Sveen ..... Mr. Richie This newly formed organization has taken many steps towards preventing accidents and making safety prevail in Hudson. The members of this group are representatives of the high school advisory groups. They have given three informative assemblies on different phases of safety. Two letters were written to the City Council recommending improvements on safety measures. A bicycle program was successfully carried out for the elementary and intermediate grades. A record is kept of all the accidents oc- curring in school to find out the causes and to find preventive measures to improve the condi- tions. Statistics are compiled and posted on the bulletin board to influence the students on the need for safety. 5U DERATE Fifth Row—Gaylord Worrell. Dick Trudell. Donald Adams. Kenneth Larson.

William Weitkamp received “A” and Robert Casey received “B” in the extemporaneous speak- ing group. The four minute speakers, Phyliss Benoy and Mary Lou Jensen, both received “A” on their original writings. Geraldine Trudell received an “A” and Mary Jo Westhoff a “B” in the original oratory contest. ONE-ACT Two one-act plays were presented this year by the freshmen and sophomore classes. The main purpose of these plays was to enable more stu- dents to get experience in acting. These two plays were directed by students, with the help of Mrs. Rolle. The sophomore play was “Love Hits Wilbur.” The play was directed by Mary Ellen Olson, and the prompters were Patricia Fleming, Carol Mayer, Mary Margaret Kerr, and Eleanor Varnum. Wilbur Maxwell (Ronald Graham) hated girls. In fact, he hated them so much that his mother (Katherine Ohrt) was afraid he wasn’t normal. Wilbur even refused to change his clothes just because his sister, Betty Lou (Joan Plahn) was bringing the new neighbor girl, Virginia (Mary Gail Breault), home for the night. But when Wilbur had a look at Virginia, he changed his mind. He rushed upstairs and changed his clothes. Down he went and acted so politely that his family thought he was sick. His father (Richard Larsen) and his sister (Carol Fry) were very worried about him until they too saw Virginia. The freshman play was titled “Hercules’s Night Out.” This play was under the direction of Juliette Clark and Willetta Hope. The non original orators, Willetta Hope ; Juliette Clark, both received “A” ratings. In declamation, Thomas Haugen received an “A” and Mary Gail Breault a “B' in the humor- ous division, and in the serious, Dick Trudell and Mary Ellen Olson both received “B’s.” Mrs. Rolle had charge of the humorous and serious declamation, extemporaneous reading, and non original oratory, and Miss Hughes directed the extemporaneous speaking, four min- ute speech, and original oratory. Those receiving “A’s” went to the District Speech Contest which was held on Saturday, April 7. at the River Falls State Teachers Col- lege. The six who received “A’s” at the District Contest were Thomas Haugen, William Weit- kamp, Phyliss Benoy, Geraldine Trudell, Juliette Clark, and Willetta Hope. PLAYS. Hercules Nelson (Jeff Henderson) was Wilbur Maxwell’s (Jerry Bellows) best friend, and had lreen for almost thirteen years. Then came a big night. Hercules was going to spend the night with Wilbur. Hercules was no excep- tion to the rule that you usually remember the first night you spend with a friend. The Max- wells will not forget that night either. It just happened that on that particular night, Mr. Max- well (Wayne Haushalter) had decided to bal- ance his books. At two a. in. everything was peaceful. Mr. Maxwell was the only one stir- ring. Then things really started to happen. The little friend came down-stairs and announced that he was sick and could not sleep—he wanted to go home—and soon the whole family was awake and up. Of course daughter, Connie, (Jacquelyn Heleve) was not yet home with her date Gerald (Donald Trudell). Everything was tried to get Hercules to sleep. Finally, Mr. Maxwell took a sleeping pill to show Hercules how easy it was. Mrs. Maxwell (Mary Lou Jensen) and daughter Betty Lou (Mary Moen) followed the example, and soon the whole family was asleep. That is, all except Hercules. After much trouble and many sleeping pills, Hercules went to sleep; and everything was quiet. 52 Mrs. Hope, the new school nurse. The Clarinet Quartet. The Girls' Triple Trio. The A Mixed Ensemble.

The gym represented a very enchanting forest with beautiful birds and many tame ani- inials appearing throughout the forest. Snow White’s cottage was on a hillside on the edge of the forest with Snow White in the doorway talking to the seven dwarfs on the lawn. There were little twinkling stars shining through the cedars. The refreshments were ice cream and wafers served after intermission in the “Balcony Tea Room” at card tables with candlelight. There was also a lounge for the dancers in the balcony. The Blackhawks, a well-known dance band, furnished the music for the enchanted evening in the land of make-believe. During the intermission a dramatization of the Snow White story was given by Mary Lou Jensen, Anne Hanson, and Jacquelyn Heleve. The Mixed Ensemble also sang a medley of Snow White melodies. The chairmen for the committees were as follows: David Jaeger, art; Kenneth Schweitzer, electrical: Marlene Olson, refreshment: Ronald Rorvick, finance; Juliette Clark, program; Mary Sveen, publicity, programs, and tickets; Colleen Ryan, invitation; Charles Wright, cedar; William Weitkamp. construction.

Lloyd Asp. Taking into consideration the world situa- tion and the very pressing need for brotherhood in every nation and community, the commence- ment committee, consisting of Mayelva Daniels, Lorraine Frazier, Geraldine Trudell, Thomas Haugen, Donald Lindstrom, David Borg and Joanne Slater, selected “Brotherhood as the theme. Each nationality was represented, a member of the class giving a short talk about the charac- teristics and the influences on the American wav of life. These students and their topics are as follows: David Borg, Swedish; Delores Linehan, Irish; Ronald Lein, Norwegian; Raymond Wein- berg, German ; Rosemary Porter, English ; Wil- letta Hope, Scottish; Eleanor Nelson, Danish; Mayelva Daniels, Swiss; Geraldine Trudell, French; Dorothy Richie, Italian; Mary Ellen )lson, Bohemian; Doris Nelson, Russian; and narrator, Thomas Haugen. Musical numbers were provided by the Mixed Chorus, the Boys’ Quartet and Joan Mc- Diarmid. The boys sang “Friendship,” a very appropriate number for the occasion. Joan McDiamiid sang “Bless This House, carrying out the theme. 'I'he program concluded with forty-four seniors in their blue caps and gowns receiving their diplomas from the Board of Education. True Blue Times Write-ups for the school newspa] er, the True Blue Times, kept the senior English stu- dents busy. These same students also prepared the articles that appeared in the “Star Observer” and elsewhere. Published every other week and containing the news of the community and school, the news- paper is a tradition here in Hudson High. Mrs. Gilbertson advised the staff, and Janet Solsvig acted as editor this year. The students received extra credit for their work as reixirters, typists and the other work connected with the publica- tion of the “Times.” Students who were included in the staff are as follows: editor, Janet Solsvig; business man- ager, Ixirraine Frazier; liners, Beverly Lemon and Joanne Slater; sports, basketball, Thomas Haugen; typists, Geraldine Trudell, Joan Nickle- by, Gwen Lein, Mayelva Daniels, and Lucille Simpson; reporters, Willetta Hope.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY “Do you worry about all history as much as this, Henry?” “I supposed we had Hannibal all washed up last semester. I can’t go through life remembering everything that ever happened . . . Listen, Marcus Aurelius wasn’t a Roman god, was he?’’ Senior class members under the direction of Mrs. Rolle worked hard during December and Janu- ary perfecting the play they had chosen. “What A Life’’ is a three act comedy with a cast of 17. Henry Aldrich (Thomas Haugen), was a sixteen year old school boy who always seemed to get into more than his share of trouble. All his teachers seemed very unfair to him. Miss Eggleston (Joan Nickleby) always accused him of throwing ink wells. Miss Pike (Annette Staberg) and Miss Wheeler (Mary Ellen Olson) always had complaints about him too. Mr. Patterson (David Ohrt), his history teacher received great pleasure when he was just about expelled from school. Mr. Nelson (David Borg), who was assistant principal seemed to be his only friend. The principal, Miss Bradley, (Geraldine Trudell) even went so far as to call his mother (Gwendolyn Lein) to her office to discuss Henry’s future. As if all this teacher trouble wasn’t enough, Henry had girl troubles too. He asked Barbara Pearson (Willetta Hope) to the Spring Dance, but he was out of luck again. She had already been asked by George Bigelow (Edward Boody), his No. 1 enemy. Henry was not the only one having troubles. Another student, Bill, (LeRoy Johannsen), had some information concerning some stolen band instru- ments, but he couldn’t get past the desk of Miss Shea (Rosemary Porter) who is secretary to Miss Bradley, to let her know about it. Before every- thing is finally straightened out, Mr. Ferguson (Ronald Lein) of police headquarters was called in. The impossible happened and everything ended happily for everyone except poor George Bigelow, who had to leave for police headquarters with Mr. Ferguson. Other roles in the play which were cleverly acted were Mr. Vechitoo (Raymond Weinberg), Mary Deeter (Eleanor Nelson), and Miss Johnson (Audrey Petersen). The cast was not the only hardworking group in producing the play for the stage crew did an excellent job in setting the stage and giving the right sound effects at the right times. Fred Clymer, Roger Evenson, and James Durning were the boys on the crew. Renee Conley was Mrs. Rolle’s right hand helper as assistant director. Lucille Simpson was the faithful prompter who showed up at every practice. 57 Homecoming This year Hudson High students presented an outstanding Homecoming program. The elec- tion of the King, Queen and attendants started the festive events. At the pep fest, Thursday night, Geraldine Trudell was crowned queen, David Borg, king, and the identity of the attend- ants, Elaine Trudeau, Donna Brown, Steven Houman, and Dean Preston, was revealed. Mem- bers of the football team of 1912 were present at the pep fest and the game Friday night. The parade Friday afternoon, featuring class floats, the team, hand, classes, and the royalty, followed by the broadcast, made every- one enthusiastic and brought out a large crowd Advisory Every other Wednesday the thirteen advis- ory groups of the high school met for discussions and training in better school and community living. A variety of topics and projects, safety, vocations, civic service, good etiquette, projects for the Junior Red Cross, and a tea were planned and discussed at the meetings throughout the year. A tea was held at the beginning of the year in honor of the Hudson P.T.A. officers. The tea was served by Miss Mathews’s, Miss Christ- ensen’s, and Mrs. Gilbertson’s advisory groups, and a dance was held afterward. The Mixed Chorus furnished the entertainment during the program. at the game. We almost made our slogan, “Squeeze the Orange,” apply to the situation, but the strong River Falls line brought dismay to Hudson fans. Winners of various contests, including Wil- liam Weitkamp for the slogan contest, and the junior class for the float contest, were presented with their prizes. The Homecoming Committee, Nancy Bar- gen, Julie Overbye, Juliette Clark, Joanne Slater, Jeff Henderson, and Thomas Haugen, chairman, worked hard to make the Homecoming a grand success. Groups Two counselors came from the Minnesota Vocational Information Bureau for the Vocations Day Program and spoke to the assembly. I-ater they talked individually to each senior. Miss Nancy Dyke talked to the senior girls and Mr. A. M. Gunderson spoke to the senior boys. Each advisory group took part in the Civic Service Day Program. Some groups c'eaned the parks, some the library, the old cemetery, and others cleaned various other public places in town. Next year’s freshmen were introduced to our school on Orientation Day, the last meeting of the year. This was held for the purpose of helping the eighth grade students of the North Hudson, the rural, and parochial schools get acquainted with our school. 58 I Iolci still.

In the end. it was the accurate toe of quarter-hack, Jim Bernd, that gave the the “Tigers” their victory. “Bones” Jensen con- tributed the “Raiders” final tally when he picked off one of Martin’s flat passes and raced 57 yards to score. HUDSON 0—MENOMONIE 13 The Menomonie Indians won the Middle Conference championship by trimming Hudson 13-0, in the final contest of the year. Hudson’s defensive line played one of its better games of the year. There were two excellent opportunities for the “Raiders” to score, but thev were unable to capitalize on the breaks. And so Hudson wound up the season with a 3-3 record in conference play. October 21 JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL HUDSON 7—RIVER FALLS 13 Hudson’s 1950 Homecoming was foiled by a powerful River Falls eleven which won the free-swinging contest witnessed by an overflow crowd. River Falls led off the scoring, hut a series of hack-lateral passes covering 57 yards soon brought the “Raiders” up to the “Cats.” The Raiders tried vainly to complete another long touchdown pass but couldn’t cross the mid-field strip as time ran out.
