It has been our desire to give you a book to enjoy, a hook you would be proud of, and one that recalls the many activities in which you have participated. This annual has been made by you, the students and faculty, and we, the staff, have compiled it. Your joys and sorrows, your thoughts and actions are to he found in this True Blue. Read it when you have leisure, when you may pause and recall the scenes of the year. Contents... Our School Sports Music School Life For his faithful years of capable, efficient service to our school, for his never ending help in our school activities and student organizations, for his understanding and friendly manner to- ward us all; we the “True Blue staff of 1952 respectfully dedicate our book of the year to Mr. W. G. Ileiting. TA e Stant tke H ean September 4—Happy days and grinding days, Fun days and studying days. In other words—school days! September 6—It’s pitiful to see the way the exper- ienced seniors wilt those “green freshies” with their stares. The ice was broken by the gay welcoming party given tonight. September 12 Yeah for the blue and white! Tryouts for cheer leaders proved we’ve spirit we didn’t know existed! September 20—Say cheese! Seniors are having their pictures taken this week. The expanded chests you noticed were to display their Sunday best. September 25—The Emancipation Proclamation was disregarded tonight as the “superior” G. A. C. members took on slaves to initiate into their fine organization. October 3—Consumption days are over! The X-Ray Mobile Unit was here for the school’s conven- ience today. October 5—We had to look twice to make sure we didn’t see Abe Lincoln walking down our halls. Homecoming and all the fellas tried to grow beards; some succeeded very well! October 11—Teachers went hack to school to learn some of the modern methods of teaching. Some- times they feel even the modern ones don’t help, but it gave us a long week-end, much apprec- iated. October 18 We couldn’t tell which was brighter today when Marlene Olson came to school, her smile or her new diamond. Within a few months two more were added to the bride-to-be list. They were Elaine Trudeau and “Peg” Gartman. Loads of luck and happiness in your married lives, kids! October 24—Our best tea manners were rehearsed today as we held our first tea honoring our parents. Hosts for the day were the advisory groups of Mr. Heiting, Miss Christensen, Mr. Stouffer, and Mr. Minerick. October 29—Hudson High seemed more quiet than usual today. Do you suppose it was because some of the hoys left to begin their service in the U. S. Navy? October 31—Hallowe’en! Four little gals dressed in red caused quite a mystery at our masquerade. Wonder who they were? November 4—Brr! That North Wind really howled today, but the fearless Hudson Band bravely took its part in helping to open officially the new Hudson bridge. November 7—The advisory groups of Mrs. Flora, Miss Hughes, Miss Lee, and Mrs. Gilbertson played hosts at the second tea held today hon- oring their parents. November 8—Proof that we really have cold weath- er in Hudson is that Mary Sveen and Iris Lyk- set had to break down and purchase a pair of “red longies”. November 15—No, thank you, I couldn’t eat another thing! The boys were entertained at the annual Football Banquet. Tom Trudell was announced as 1952-53 football captain. November 11—American Education Week began to- day and lasted through November 17. The theme for Book Week, “New Horizons With Books”, was carried out very effectively by the students with posters, booklets, and window displays. November 22—Turkey dinner, here we come! The students of H. H .S. had much to be thankful for as they started their Thanksgiving vacation. December 3 What country did you take? This was a question frequently heard as the juniors start- ed their 1500 word investigative themes today. December 6—The seniors took their last fling at high school dramatics tonight as they presented the senior class play, “Professor, How Could You!” “Bill” Weitkamp proved to be quite a Romeo to Juliette (Clark). December 10—“I like ours much better” was the familiar refrain heard today when the juniors received their shiny new class rings. December 13—Today started that interminable round of birthdays for the junior girls. Parties, gifts, and fun constituted the next few weeks for all. December 14—“Honey of A Peach” was just what the sophomore class play was, everyone agreed! December 15—We opened the holiday season with our gala semi-formal Christmas dance. Every- one was all dressed up in new finery to dance to the music of Bobby Bryan and his orchestra. December 24—’Twas the night before Christmas and how many remembered to hang up their stock- ings? Christmas vacation and everyone set the scene with his cheery and joyous wishes extended for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. January 2—Laughter, plenty to eat, and games of canasta and tripoli in full swing made the scene of a famous junior party. Poor Hooley’s house, but oh, what fun! January 7 Back to school again with another happy year behind us and many new resolutions to improve the oncoming year. How many were kept? We tried hard, anyhow! January 9—History was made tonight when the Hudson Raiders won the first basketball game of the season against Glenwood City. Non- conference, you might know! January 14—Cil for the lamps of Hudson High was badly needed as we delved into exam week. Keep those records clean! January 15—The old and new ski enthusiasts of Hudson’s “Little Norway Hills” were aroused by an inspiring talk and beautiful motion pictures presented by Mr. Hollaus. 0 THE SCHOOL needfom U T lot . . . Congratulations for having completed another successful year in preparation for citizenship in the greatest social and economic order on earth. The freedom that we possess has truly led us to the establishment of the greatest and finest society that man has ever known. Most of you have inherited this social order from those who have gone before. Cne often wonders whether we fully appreciate what our present freedom has cost our predecessors. Do we realize how much hard work, unselfish devotion, blood, and sweat has been spent to achieve our present status? Yes, ours is the best society—the best system yet devised by man, but it has been paid for many times over by those who have gone before. If we would maintain and increase our inheritance, we too, must be willing to pay a price. Our great privilege involves an equally great responsibility. Our unselfish devotion to good government, free economic enterprise, and a democratic social order will help preserve our heritage to pass on to those who follow us. It is my fondest hope that your training here has equipped you to carry on the great traditions that have been passed on through the generations. Always remember that freedom is not free.

Senion C?a An unusually bold class of freshmen entered high school, not to be overshadowed by their class- mates, in the fall of 48. We started to make our indelible mark on school life at Hudson High by having an excellent representation in all extra-curricular activities. Our social life started out with parties and picnics to get us acquainted with the high school way of life. We found it very agreeable and put our whole-hearted enthusiasm into our high school careers. More confidence, pep, maturity, and understand- ing described the sophomores who returned after a fun-packed summer. Five brunettes returned as blondes due to the miracle of a peroxide solution. Nancy Bargen acquired the title of Champion Pea- nut Roller at our successful sophomore picnic. We also continued and added to our well established record. Upperclassmen, at last! Some of our girls came back to school with that new equestrian hairdo! Our fashion minded girls like to try each new fad regardless of how radical it may be. The boys, not to be outdone, excelled in all the fields of sport. Both boys and girls joined in to give us a wonderful representation in musical activities. An enchanting evening amid the forestal setting, of make-believe in the land of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was spent by the juniors and their guests at the annual Junior Promenade. We came back as seniors with the confidence that we could meet any situation that arose. We started out by presenting our senior class play, Professor, How Could You! , which everyone will agree was a great success. All that had a part in this venture enjoyed it tremendously. We were very successful in gaining recognition and being given the responsibility of using our study halls for special privileges. Everyone co-operated, and many people received the benefit of this project. Students of the class of ’52 were outstanding in music, sports, and leadership in other outside ac- tivities. We wish the juniors and other future leaders in Hudson High all the success, good fortune, and happiness that we experienced during our high school years.

He particiated for four years in both instrumental and vocal music, debate, speech work, and sports. During his senior year he was a member of the True Blue staff.

Altogether there are twenty sophomores who have received honors in debate and speech work. Nine sophomores took part in the one act play, “Honey of a Peach”, which was received with great enthusiasm by everyone. In order to fill the empty spots, fifteen new warblers have been added to the chorus from this class. Mr. McMillan has a hard working band partly because there are fourteen sophomores in it.

FRESH MAX CLASS After asking many questions, entering the wrong class- rooms, and arriving late to classes, the sixty-five green fresh- men made themselves at home and shyly began to make new friendships. They began their social life with the Freshmen-Senior party and found that those seniors weren't so bad after all. Speech, debate, band, Glee Club, G. A. C., football, and basketball are a few of the extra curricular activities in which several enterprising and enthusiastic members have already made their marks. EIGHTH GRADE Fourth Row—Thomas Dierks.

Marv Sveen Adviser...................................Mrs. Flora 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 Mrs. Betty Flora and is composed of sophomore, junior, and senior girls. There is also a Junior G. A. C. to which seventh, eighth, and ninth grade girls be- long. Perhaps one of the outstanding events of the year was the initiation of the new members. These girls came to supper in very ridiculous costumes and had to undergo many hardships. A prize was given to the best original hat. Chloe Williamson took first place. The next day the new members came to school as the humble ser- vants of their “superiors . The first sport which is played in the fall is kickball. The juniors were led to victory by their captain, Muriel St. Ores. Mary Sveen was head of this sport. In volleyball the sophomores were victorious. Sally Brown was their captain. Katherine Miler was head of this sport. Xext came basketball with Marlene Olson as the head. I.ast of all came softball, headed by I lelen Tohatin- sen; however, at the time of writing, this sport had not been completed. The big occurrence at the end of the v ar was the annual social event planned by th- girls. They decided to have an evening of volleyball and dancing as the all important event. Each girl was given an invitation that she was to give to the friend of her choice. There was much ex- citement and question about whom they should “slip their slip” to, but everyone finally became brave enough and the party was enjoyed bv a large number of students. union. Q. A. C. Girls from the eighth and ninth grades arc eligible to join this club. They become members by paying their yearly dues and can only remain members by earning 100 points annually. They become full fledged members by an initiation which is the first event of the war for the club. The function of Junior G. A. C. is to create good sportsmanship among members and to fur- nish cheerleaders and pep at games played by the junior high. The second event is a party given for the junior high to honor the junior high football team. The last and most important event is a dance held in the spring of the year. At this dance the girls invite the boys to be their guests. Miss Hughes is the Junior G. A. C. adviser. The officers are Darlene Daniels, president; Sharon Marek, vice president; Janice Pen- man, secretary-treasurer; and Connie Winkel, Student Council representative. 54 Fourth How—John Bogut.

Debate Have you decided vet which side of the argument you’re going to uphold? Have you found any good material? Does the United States really need conscription? These were just a few of the questions asked by the debaters at the beginning of the debate season this fall. The problem they debated this year was “Resolved: That All American Citizens Should He Subject to Conscription for Essential Service in Time of W ar”. On Friday, November 30, the “A” squad of debaters, under the supervision of Miss Hughes, journeyed to New Richmond for their first tour- nament of the season. At this event each person from Hudson was teamed up with a debater from one of the other visiting towns. The squad which took part in this tournament included Marlene Olson and Phyliss Benoy, who defended the affirmative side, and William Weitkamp and Jerome I lanson, who debated against the question. Jerome Hanson and his partner were fortunate to win all their debates, and “Bill” Weitkamp received the highest individual rating of the Hudson group. The rest of the debate squads which partici- pated in tournaments throughout the year con- sisted of Bernadine Trudell. Ronald Graham, Wayne Erickson, William Schuler, and Ronald Rorvick. There were also junior high teams organized who chose various topics for debate, and only occasionally discussed the national debate question. The next tournament which Hudson attend- ed was held at South St. Paul on January 19. All of the debaters participated in this tourna- ment, with the exceptions of Marlene Olson and William Weitkamp. On January 31, William Weitkamp partici- pated in a cross-examination debate at Stillwater. This was a new experience to all the debaters, and everyone was quite impressed by the case William presented. In order to give the debaters added practice before attempting the district debate tournament at Chippewa Falls, they once again took part in a tournament at South St. Paul. With new ideas acquired at this tournament each debater came home with the incentive to prepare a new case for the district contest. This tournament was held on February 9. Although the Hudson debaters won only two debates out of six, they came home with the feeling that it had been a profitable debate season. Advibony Qnaup Career clay, a thrift program, and three advisory teas honoring students’ parents were new activities of the advisory program for this year. Making Christmas decorations for the Veterans Hospital at Tomah as part of the Junior Red Cross work, civic service day, orientation day for the eighth graders were projects continued from previous years. On entering high school each student is assigned to an advisory group and an adviser. These groups meet every other Wednesday. It is the purpose of these advisory groups to discuss matters of interest that would aid the student and the school. Each advisory group elects one of its mem- bers to represent the ideas of the group to the Student Council. The advisory group trains the students in social activities, civic and school re- sponsibilities, educational guidance, and voca- tions. Tire first meeting was concerned with the or- ganization of the group, discussion of rules, reg- ulations, and curriculum problems. Other meetings were devoted to a compl te examination and evaluation of the students’ re- cords, planning the students' programs for the following year, and discussing the extra curricular activities in which they might participate. Tire main social events of the year were three teas held in place of the usual one. The advis- ory groups were divided into three groups, and each group planned its own tea. All of them were held in honor of the parents of the students in that particular group. A thrift program was started this year for all the students of the grade and high school. One day a week a student of the bookkeeping c'ass was stationed in the roll rooms to collect any money that a student wished to deposit in the bank. This project started by the First National Rank of Hudson gave the students a chance to he thrifty. All of the groups took part in the Junior Red Cross work to give the patients at Tomah Veter- ans' Hospital a more pleasant Christmas. Christ- mas tree ornaments, wall, window, and table de- corations, tray favors, and nut cups were made. A two hundred dollar chest containing educa- tional, recreational, and healthful articles was sent to Kanjhawala Delhi Province in India on May 1. The Student Council held a regular meeting in front of the student body to give them an idea of how it is run. A summary was given of the function and power of the Student Council. Career Day was held for the entire high school this year, and the seniors of the Roberts and Somerset high schools were invited to attend. Qualified persons from approximately seventeen fields of work were here to discuss, answer questions, and advise the students on the type of work in which they were interested. As a service to the community each group chose a particular civic service project. All high school and seventh and eighth grade students devoted two hours in an intensive campaign of cleaning up and beautifying the city. On Orientation Day the meeting was or- ganized to acquaint prospective freshmen with our school system and help them become more familiar with high school activities. Commencement Our class of 1952 held the seventy-first com- mencement exercises on Friday evening. May 23, at eight o’clock. Strains of the traditional march, “Pomp and Circumstance”, played by Mrs. D. II. Sather, filled the auditorium as the fifty-three seniors cap] ted and gowned in blue advanced slowly down the aisle. Dr. L. Vernon Caine, Vice President of Macalester College accepted our invitation to Ire speaker for this important event. The musical portion of the exercises was provided by a number of our talented seniors. Vocal numbers, an instrumental solo, and a clar- inet trio were featured. The Mixed Chorus also sang. Ronald Rorvick, senior class president, on behalf of the seniors gave our farewell address. The exercises were concluded by the distri- bution of diplomas by the Board of Education. The baccalaureate service was held on Sun- day, May 18. The Reverend Woodson of the Baptist Church conducted services. Music was provided by their church choir. 56 union (Pnom “On Moonlight Bay” where the sailboats rove, the Chinese lanterns flicker, and the en- chanted couples glide across a small bridge to their evening of make-believe.

The nine speakers who received “A’s” went to the District Contest at River Falls on March 29. William Weitkamp, Jacqueline Heleve, Jan- ice Penman, and Juliette Clark received “A” rat- ings. The other five received “B ratings. The four speakers who received “A’s” at this contest were eligible for the State Contest at Madison. Sanlon C2a A (P£ai “Oh, Professor, How Could You! Phis was Priscilla Morley’s exclamation when she found that Professor Perry, a woman hating, college professor, was engaged to three girls at the same time. As the curtain rose. Grandpa Perry (David Jaeger) was seated at a table working a crossword puzzle. Boggins, the English butler (Ronald Rorvick), peered respectfully over his left shoul- der. Grandma Perry (Nancy Bargen), entered the scene worrying aloud about whether or not her grandson wore his overshoes when he went out. The doorbell rang, and Boggins ushered in Vicky Randolph (Juliette Clark), a college stu- dent who had come to apologize to Professor Perry (Bill Weitkamp) for throwing a bottle of ink at him. When Professor Perry came home, he told his friend, John Appleby (Dan Neises), that he had a chance to become Dean of the school, but he had to find a wife within three days. John agreed to hell) him. Vicky’s apology turned into another argu- ment, and the Professor gave her three minutes to make an abject apology. She hid in a chair and overheard John and the professor talking about getting the professor a suitable wife. By threatening to tell the whole school, she got John to agree to let her help choose a wife for the professor. After three candidates were selected, they decided to pick a candidate and put up ten dollars. The winner would receive the entire amount. Grandma Perry invited the three girls to a dinner party. Priscilla Morley (Mary Sveen), a sweet young thing, was secretly in love with her employer, John Appleby. Tootsie Bean (Ann Marie Nygard), a plump spinster, tried to win the professor with her cooking. Valerie Whit- man (LuVerne Swanson), a college girl with a decided Southern drawl, tried her wilv arts. When the girls discovered that they had been tricked, they were each determined to win the professor from the other girls. Grandpa disguised his voice, called each girl, and told each one he wanted to elope with her. Tootsie Bean was the first to arrive. Her brother. Butcher Boy Bean, the wrestler (Bob Iverson), came along to see that the elopement took place. When John learned that three girls wanted to elo] e with Keats, he decided to disguise him- self as Keat's long-lost wife. He entered just as the three girls were arguing about who was going to elope with Keats. To make it even more authentic he brought in three children who were visiting in the neighborhood (Sandra Potter, Tonita Tweet, and Eugene Dahlby). After the girls were gone, Keats discovered that he has loved Vicky all along. He asked her to marry him, and she accepted. While they were talking to grandpa, John and Priscilla came back to tell them they would send them a card from Niagara Falls. Boggins and Tootsie also leave for Niagara Falls, and Valerie went back to the college boys. Grandpa, who had secretly voted for Vicky in the pool, won the money, and everyone went his own merry way. The play was under the direction of Mrs. Frances Rolle. “Pat Johnson was the student di rector.

Studtant Council Promoting a youth recreational program in Hudson in co-ojjeration with the Rotary Club, a clothing drive for needy ] ersons in Europe, start- ing a fund to be used by the True Blue, and appointing standing committees for the school year were some of the major achievements of the Student Council this year. Superintendent Rock is the adviser of this group. The date, October 5, was decided on for the homecoming game with Spring Valley. Because of the urgent need for clothing a drive was sponsored in December. Several bags of clothing were sent to the needy in Europe. A questionnaire for the promotion of the youth recreation program was given to the stu- dents and one was also made for the adults of the city. Joint committees of Rotary and Student Council presented a panel discussion on the sub- ject to the P. T. A. Social activities were sponsored by the Coun- cil to start a reserve fund for the True Blue. This fund will be used should the available rev- enue be insufficient for the current ex| enses. 62 Extemporaneous speakers ... Ye honorable debaters . . . Extemporaneous readers . . .

Original orators dHame earning Homecoming, that glorious portion of the football season when the alumni are invited home to visit their dear old “alma mater”, was cele- brated this year in connection with the Spring Valley game despite a near cancellation due to a polio outbreak. The first event of Homecoming was the election of the queen to reign over the festivities. Five lucky girls survived the primary election. The candidates from which the queen was finally selected were Nancy Bargen, Juliette Clark, Carol Ann Rulien, Mary Sveen. and Elaine Trudeau. After the final elections were tabulated, a few students and faculty members were entrusted with the secret name of the queen. Despite threats of blackmail, bribery, assault and battery, the secret was kept well until the hour of coron- ation. A contest with prizes was staged to provide a “hot” slogan. The committee judged the en- tries and gave the honor to W ayne 1 laushalter’s “Black and Blue the Red and White”. A second look at the entries showed that more than half of the slogans were Haushalter’s brainstorms. On the day of the big game last period classes were junked to give time for the pep assembly and the parade. After the speeches, yells, and skits of the pep meeting, the aroused Raiders and their following poured out into the streets to begin the parade. The parade was led by the marching band, followed by a line of classy convertibles, each one bearing one of the queen candidates and the attendants. About midway in the parade line came the class floats. A committee of teachers judged the freshman float as being the most orig- inal and attractive. The “frosh” had constructed their prize winner out of Adviser Stouffer’s car. (His Ford jalop without any fenders, not his Buick.) It was painted, apparently by someone with modern artistic leanings, with weird blotches and splashes of red, white, and blue paint. In the rumble seat lay several bleeding and mutilated “Valley” players supposedly returning from the game. The parade was concluded by carloads of football players and cheering fans. That night at half time while the outcome of the game was still a big question mark. Cap- tain Robert Iverson crowned Elaine Trudeau the 1951 Homecoming Queen, in an impressive ceremony with more convertibles and band maneuvers. Queen Elaine was attended by Betty Jean Marek, Mary Gail Breault, William Schuler, and “Tom Trudell. The team came through to make the evening a success by winning 14 to 0. Following the game, a party was held in the gymnasium with the Homecoming Royalty and the victorious “Raiders” as the honored guests. Miss Christensen’s cooking classes pre- pared lunch for both the “Raiders” and their “Black and Blue” opponents. The affair was well attended by old grads who came back to visit Hudson High School. The Homecoming Committee consisted of Carol Ann Rulien, Ronald Graham, Jeff Hender- son, Helen Johannsen, Marlene Olson, Margie Kukuska, Iris Lyksett, David Jaeger, and Bev- erly Lemon, with William Weitkamp as chairman. Advisers for the various events were Miss Hughes, Mrs. Flora, Mr. McMillan, and Miss Christensen. (Radlio (Pnoc namA Thanks to the generosity of the Radio Sta- tion. WSHB, “The Voice of the Friendly St. Croix Valley,” Hudson High School was given a fifteen minute program every Wednesday aft- ernoon. This program was broadcast directly into the homes of many of the residents of Still- water, New Richmond, and Hudson. The immense job of keeping this program going, lining up talents and interesting material, week after week without break went to Miss Helen Hughes, who deserves every bit of credit that may be given her for keeping these pro- grams going. Since the programs had to be ta])e recorded at Stillwater on Tuesday night, a group of Hud- son students clutching scripts and musical in- struments could be seen waiting for one of the benevolent teachers or parents to drive them over to Stillwater every week. No two programs ever came off exactly alike. Usually a student would read the weekly news from around school, and then the program was wide open to variation. Musical solos and ensembles, instrumental and vocal, modern and classical, readings and speeches, skits and plays, and interviews featuring sports and civic events were broadcast. More than a hundred students took part, and despite this fact the programs retained an amaz- ingly professional tone. The students benefited greatly by this opportunity to get themselves “aired”. 64 (Homecomiruj . . . Queen Elaine and King Bob . . . Chairman and his man Friday . . . Dewey’s car . . .
