SENIOR HISTORY On a beautiful winter's evening in 1955 a solitary senior, surrounded by old annuals and musing over a bottle of coke, is sprawled before the open fire. He is thinking of graduation; and as he watches the lazy snowflakes floating down under the corner streetlight, he soon falls fast asleep. Through the miracle of a dream he is carried back to the day when he and sixty- four other classmates entered Hudson High School for the first time. As freshmen they were as green as any other class to have gone through the mill, but with the assistance of their adviser, Robert Stouffer, and the leadership of their class officers, Paul Neises, Thomas Beer, Roger Miller, Sharon Marek, and Corrine Trudeau, they over- came their shyness and began to leave their indelible mark on Hudson High. The Freshman-Senior party provided an excellent opportunity for the girls to give dancing instructions to the boys. For homecoming the class stirred up all its ingenuity in order to create the prize-winning float. Throughout the year freshmen joined in all school activities, adding to them the un- quenchable pep and spirit of hard work which have been so characteristic of them as a class. As a glorious climax to the happy year they had a picnic at Middle Dam. An unforgettable casualty of this occasion was Philip Paynter's tumble into the river. As sophomores, the class experienced one of the busiest years of all, though their number by this time had dwindled to sixty. They chose as adviser Robert Torgerson, and officers Thomas Evenson, Thomas Beer, Sharon Marek, and Paul Neises. They were proud to present the first three-act play ever given by Hudson sophomores Parents and Pigtails, directed by Robert Stouffer and David Graham. The girls sponsored a rousing clean-up campaign which improved the school one hundred per cent. They sold magazines for the Curtis Publishing Company, and Thomas Evenson was awarded a certificate for being the top salesman. They sponsored three school dances that year and for their own enjoyment a tobogganing party, at which time Joyce Schaubschlager came back with a black eye. This second successful year was ended with a picnic at Burkhardt. The dream now entertains the sleeping senior with a vision of a beautiful moonlit garden. Yes, it's prom year. He recalls the delight which he and his class- mates had experienced when they returned to school that fall to find a beautiful new addition awaiting their use. Though their number was only 56, they were more enthusiastic than ever. They elected as class officers Roger Miller, Charles Barr, Rosemary Schmidt, Joan Trudell, and Robert Norvold. Just before Christmas they met with difficulty when they lost their adviser, Miss Dorothy Hardies, to matrimony. It was their ever faithful friend, Mr. Rock, who came to their rescue and led them successfully through the remainder of the year. Sharon Marek, Corinne Trudeau, Thomas O'Keefe, and Charles Barr lent additional splendor to homecoming that year when they were elected as jun- ior attendants. With the arrival of their Flying Cadet class rings the juniors became full-fledge members of their class. The big question of the year was where the prom was to be held. The juniors had looked with awe on the gigantic new gymnasium at the start of the year, but at last decided to tackle the job. Using as their theme Moonlight and Roses , they had done a superb job of decorating and all who attended enjoyed dancing to the music of George Barton. Not to be out- done by previous years, the busy prom year allowed enough time for a final picnic which was held at Burkhardt. When the seniors returned for their last year, their number lacked ten of the original. They chose Jim Haas for adviser, and Charles Barr, Rosemary Schmidt, Ilene Hanley, Judy Frazier, and Thomas Beer for of- ficers. Maryann Everson was chosen from their number to reign over the 1954 homecoming. The class was proud as punch when the Hudson Raiders won the football championship this year, and maintained, of course, that it was due largely to the help of senior co- captains Charles Barr and Albert Jacobsen and the ten other senior Raiders”. The last dramatic presentation was the three-act comedy Lady Be Good , directed by Fred Johnson. The musing senior opens his eyes and turns to watch the last glowing embers dying out in the fireplace. But in it he sees yet another vision. It is a vision of fifty- five seniors, identically clothed in blue caps and gowns, processing down the new gymnasium to the strains of Pomp and Circumstance . High school has been kind to the 55 of '55. The graduating senior hopes that the students of the follow- ing years may find their high school days as happy and as profitable as he and his classmates have, and that they will gorw to realize, as he has, that one's high school days are the best years of his life . 16
