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
