Foreworc. As we, the staff, compiled the information in this, the 1953 True Blue Annual, we tried to make it a book that will not only appeal to you now, but also in future years, when you wish to look back on the cherished memories of your high school life, including classes, activities, and your many faculty and student friends. When you read the True Blue in future years, we hope it will recall to your memory much of the happi- ness you might otherwise have forgotten. Contents . . . The School Sports Music School Life

School Has Begun September 2—The second day of September, A day for all to remember. The beginning of another nine months of work, study, and pleasure. For students and faculty together. September 5—Tonight a group of frightened freshmen met the experienced seniors at the annual Freshman-Senior party. Some of the freshmen later commented, “They’re really not so bad after all.” September 23—“You are my superior; I am your inferior,” again resounded through the halls of Hudson High. The Senior G. A. C. put on its annual initiation, which even “the slaves” seemed to enjoy. October 9—Every year about this time our teach- ers go out to get some newer teaching meth- ods. We wished them the best of luck and gladly accepted the long weekend which we received. October 13—What a change in the seniors’ ap- pearances! Nylons, suits, their Sunday best. Oh! I almost forgot their expanded chests. Yes, this was the week senior pictures were taken. October 18 Excitement is really getting the up- per hand. Today Homecoming begins. Last year’s beards are missing, but no one seems to mind. October 31— Who were the two little girls dress- ed as salt and pepper shakers?” This question puzzled everyone at the Hallowe’en party, where ghosts, goblins, and wdtches were plen- tiful. November 4—The big campaign is over. The school, for the first time, is experiencing the great American heritage of the right of the individual to vote for whomever he likes. November 5—Another day for everyone, not just the seniors, to dress up in his Sunday best. Today the annual tea was held. It was held in honor of the W.S.H.B. Radio Staff. November 10—Today the boys left their pants at home and donned skirts. Well, boys, do you think you proved your point? November 15—The boys are at it again. Should girls w’ear jeans or slacks? This question was debated today. The boys stated the girls have already taken their socks, pants, shirts, and jackets, and that before long they’ll be taking their long underwear also. Little they know', for the girls are already wearing them. November 20—Tonight the seniors showed their dramatic training, when they put their class play on before the public. Everyone agreed it was a complete success. December 3—The white buck fad has really hit our school head on. One must admit they real- ly look neat. December 18—'This is the biggest day in the year for the juniors, aside from the Prom. They have at last received their class rings. They’re not really conceited when they say they like their rings better than last year’s. They’re just proud. December 19—“I made it!” This was the favorite expression used by the juniors. Today they had to turn in their themes in English 3. December 22—Sleep, eat. sleep. This is the main ambition of the students of Hudson High. Christmas vacation has begun. December 29—Sleigh ride, plenty to eat. good music, and television describe the scene of a happy junior party. Parents don’t get any sleep; but when fun is involved, that’s the price they have to pay. December 31—Tonight two parties were held to bring the new- year in right. One was held at Sally Hallenberger’s and one at the K of C Hall. January 2—“Nature isn’t always right.” is the saying used by the girls who have dyed their hair this week. January 6—“Skipping doesn’t pay,” some girls of Hudson have been heard to say, even if they were supporting the basketball team. January 12-The lights are burning long and brightly in the homes of the Hudson High students. As you may have guessed, semester tests are soon to begin. January 28—The Student Council is determined Hudson will be the best groomed school in our district. To make this an almost sure thing, they started a Good Grooming campaign this week.
