In the four short years he has been at Hudson High School, Mr. Fouks has earned our admiration for being a capable teacher, a coach who has inspired the boys by his own ex- ample, and who has brought our school two football championships, and especially for his friendliness toward everyone. 2 Front Row: Arthur Lillcy, Dr. P. A. Tweet, David Kelly. Back Row: Supt. E. P. Rock, Norman Gilbert, Byron Spalding. Board of Education The Hudson public schools have a five member Board of Education which is composed of men vitally interested in the affairs of our school district. This group of diligent workers sets the policies which govern our school, adopts the budget, and hires the teachers. We students commend Norman Gilbert, president; Dr. P. A. Tweet, treasurer; Byron Spalding, clerk; David Kelly and Arthur Lilley, directors, for their earnest endeavors which are bringing about an ever expanding and progressive school system. 3 Superintendent E. P. ROCK Gladstone once said, “Believe me when I tell you that thrift of time will repay you in afterlife with usury, but the waste of it will make you dwindle away until you fairly sink out of existence, unknown, unmourned.” I should like to commend the great majority of Hudson students for making good use of the opportunities offered by the community through the schools and other com- munity institutions. What happiness and satisfaction come to us in life are the result of useful work and activities. Successful accomplishments are the essence of life. We must train ourselves for success and satisfaction, and we begin in early childhood. If we accept the goals set for us by the home, the church, and the schools and by application and effort make them a reality in our lives; then we can expect to be successful and happy. It has been a great satisfaction to your teachers and parents to have had the opportunity to play a part in your successful achievements. May your efforts be a great source of hap- piness and contentment to you in the future. 4 The world today offers a great challenge to the youth of America. Much of this chal- lenge may be considered food for the mind. It has been said that democracy cannot go hand in hand with ignorance. Also that education is for the mind what food is for the body. Just as an individual with an undernourished body is poorly equipped to serve his community and country, so an ignorant mind can be of little service to democracy. Democracy means government by the people. Our democracy is a product of the minds of the citizens of our country. Thus we may assume that democracy, to be successful, needs intelligent, well trained minds. Education is a process of mind training. It is a matter of training the individual to observe intelligently and to form independent opinions as a result of his own observations. It would seem then, that education is essential to democracy. I challenge the senior class of this year to continue to train your minds, with more schooling if possible, in order that our government may continue to be a democracy — of the people, by the people, and for the people. The world will need the best that you can give. 5 Principal W .G.

Senior Class History MOBILIZATION OF ARMED FORCES (SENIOR CLASS) 1953-1957 To maintain discipline, Defend our integrity, Assault ignorance, and Occupy these Halls of Ivy. AIR FORCE Time: 1953-54 Airport: Hudson High School Pilot: Tom Everson Co-Pilot: Dick Detlefsen Radioman: Mary Hamlin Navigator: Gerald Rose Troops: 74 Air Force Chief of Staff: Richard Armstrong We took off in our green colored airplane to fly our one year flight. The first stop was at the Fresh- man-Senior party given in our honor. Continuing our journey our color faded, but we discovered that this flying business was actually fun. Our subjects were harder but that gave us a challenge. Upon landing we baby-sat, washed cars, and other odd jobs to raise money for the youth of the community. We raised $232.23. ARMY Time: 1954-55 Camp: Hudson High School Captain: Dick Detlefsen First Sergeant: Genevieve Knutson Company Clerk: Barbara Blakeman Quartermaster: Tom Steele Chaplain: Tom Everson Troops: 66 General: Fred Johnson Our Company left on bivouac in the early part of September. It was well represented in the school activities. The three most favored subjects seemed to be English, algebra, and biology. We staged a very successful “Levi Leap,” and also on coming back to camp had a sophomore class play entitled “Line of Scrimmage. MARINES Time: 1955-56 Point of Embarkation: Hudson High School Captain: Tom Everson First Sergeant: Barbara Blakeman Company Clerk: ZoAnn Graham Warrant Officer: Jeanette Swenson Chaplain: Mary Ann Evenson Troops: 63 General: Alvin Weitkamp The saying “The Marines have landed” was cer- tainly true in our case because we landed with the prettiest class rings ever to be seen in Hudson High. We had ahead of us two great battles. One was the writing of our junior themes; another was the prepara- tion and planning for the prom. They were both great victories. We came home from the second war with “Dreamland” still in our eyes. NAVY Time: 1956-57 Ship: Hudson High School Captain: Barbara Blakeman Chief Petty Officer: Bernie Lyksett Yeoman: Roland Daniels Storekeeper: Tom Steele Crew: 57 Admiral: Jenny Lee On leaving port we were faced with the serious matter of preparing for what lay ahead of us in the not too distant future. Some of us made plans to keep on in the armed forces; others thought they would enjoy civilian life. We were the hosts this time at the Freshman-Senior party. How time does fly! One of the goals on our voyage was to give a class play, “Dear Daffodil” which was a very successful play. As this was our last voyage together, we were well represented in all activities. 17 The Will of 57 in '57 We, the delinquent seniors of Hudson High School, St. Croix County, State of Wisconsin, United States of America, Planet Earth, Star of the Universe in this Geophysical Year of 1957 declare this to be our last will and testament. We bequeath the following: The juniors will acquire skill needed to pilot the ship and guide the crew, even though the sea is stormy. The sophomores will receive our taste in selecting class rings and staging as dreamy a prom as ours. To the freshmen we leave the ladder of hard work and fun, hoping that each step will give them as much pleasure and as many memorable experiences as we have enjoyed. As individuals we bequeath the following: Carl Arndt leaves Miss Hughes with one less astronomer. Edward Barber leaves with a B(ieneman) in his car. Sheldon Bearrood gives his bike to Jim Stewart. Romainc Benson bequeaths her handwriting ability to Manley Thomas. Dan Hector leaves his car to Pilquist. Dale Stayberg leaves his unfinished car to anyone who cares to finish it. Barbara Blakeman leaves the singing of the Irish songs to the Irish. Janet Branchfield leaves the popcorn machine minus an able operator. Ruth Ann Crawley leaves her red hair to Martha Cornel issen. Zo Ann Graham leaves her fire baton to anyone brave enough to twirl it. Stephen Frohlicher leaves Myrna behind. Rosemary Bieneman leaves her trim figure to Lynn Kirchoff. Jo Ann Brathall gives her happy-go-lucky ways to Beth Gwin. Rona Bruce leaves the North Hudson taxi service minus an operator. Fred Buttke leaves still ducking those pins. Mickey Bannon leaves, still wanting to know, “How do you like your hamburger?” Richard Cameron leaves his sisters to carry on. Bill Dabruzzi leaves the teachers with no one to bring them their mail. Roland Daniels leaves hurrying to work. Mary Ann Evenson leaves, still hunting for old clothes. Tom Everson bequeaths his convertible to Mr. Ul- ring. Anita Foss gives her powers of persuasion to Roget Lange. Nancy Gartmann leaves Miss See to take the eighth grade girls physical education class alone. Sallie Jensen leaves still trying to teach the boys the chicken. De Ette Johnson gives her volleyball ability to the women faculty, hoping that they might win a game. John Kester leaves, but he’ll be back on Monday nights. Genevieve Knutson leaves the cheerleaders without a ride to the games. Opal Kukuska bequeaths her petite figure to any girl who thinks she needs it. Eugene Lamberta gives his hunting ability to Dale Gifford. Gary Lein leaves, still shocked at Cora’s appearance. Bernie Lyksett leaves “to go over the mountain. Wonder what’s on the other side? Kathy Martin reluctantly leaves her crown to some lucky girl. Leone Martinson leaves the school bus minus one passenger. Barbara Miller gives her serious nature to Lolita Holden. George Neubarth leaves his neat appearance to Tom Kottke. Terry Olson leaves Mr. Boeddeker without an authority on archery. Richard Ostcndorf leaves his quiet ways to boys of the junior class. Roger Persell gives his build to Tom Younger, who probably will need it in wielding the tympani sticks. Elaine Prentiss leaves to become somebody’s private secretary. Marcellaine Rauchnot leaves as champion gum chcwer of Hudson High. Charles Reisinger leaves the chemistry room in many pieces. Robert Rohl leaves in a roar of exhaust and with the top down. Gerald Rose leaves the junior girls trailing behind him. Martin Sahnow leaves for a two weeks’ cruise. Karla Schmidt leaves the seniors with happy mem- ories of her last party. Betty Ann Schullo leaves to buy a grass skirt. Eva Sherley leaves as the last of the Sherley clan. Marsha Sherwood leaves the bulletin boards empty. Mary Ann Simpson leaves, dragging her roller skates behind her. William Slater leaves in his little red pick-up truck for Third Street. Thomas Steele leaves to join the Mousekeeters. Joan Suennen gives her joke-telling ability to Rosie Rose. Beverly Swanson leaves, driving a ’56 Chevrolet. Karen Sweitzer bequeaths her flair for clothes to Carol Thulin. Jeanette Swenson leaves the bandroom empty. Dorothy Toll leaves to raise Arabians. Finally, we leave the teachers breathless but happy. We want to express our thanks for their help through- out the years, and we want them to know how much we appreciate and admire them and their work. We also hope that they will remember us as we will always remember them. 18 Seniors Fourth Row: Lynn Johnson, John Peterson, Gordon Anderson, George Solsvig, David Evenson, Michael Martin, William Holden, Gregory Peterson, Tim Bommer.

This was the 17th straight conference victory for the “Raiders.” Twice Middle Border champions, they were once again undet the able leadership of Coach Carver Fouks and his assistants, Glenn Mueller and Noel Schumacher. Hudson led the scoring, and Ellsworth followed with one touchdown, but from then on it was easy to see that the “Raiders” would control the game. The “Raiders” next traveled to Spring Valley where they met with little opposition from the “Cardinals.” “Chow Rose led the scoring with two touchdowns. “Fats” Persell, Jim Linehan, and Dale Stayberg each scored one. This was the “Raid- ers” eigbteenth victory. In spite of losing a total of 55 yards from penal- ties, the “Raiders” spirit was flying high as they defeated the “Vikings” of Colfax 47-6. “Chow” Rose again led the scoring with two touchdowns. Also scoring were “Fats” Persell, “Spike” Stayberg, Jim Linehan, Jim Tulgren, and Mike Martin. The line did an excellent job with co-captain Bernie Lyksett leading the way for the other linemen. The blocking and tackling were poor and the spirit and desire to win did not seem to be present in the River Falls game. However, in the second half the boys came back and, led by Tom Everson, tied the score at 7-7 in the third quarter. From then on the boys improved and their spirit seemed to soar. Though they were often in scoring posi- tion, they could not seem to get the extra desire to go all the way. In the fourth quarter, Tyler of River Falls went 95 yards right up the middle for a touchdown. Thus ended Homecoming and the “Raiders” winning streak. Next the “Raiders” traveled to New Richmond and overpowered the comparatively weak “Tiger” team by a score of 28-12. Scoring for Hudson were “Spike” Stayberg, “Chow” Rose, and “Horse” Everson. Co-captain Bernie Lyksett reecived a se- vere ankle injury which kept him out of action for the Glenwood City game the following week. The loss of Bernie in the line seemed to cause a let down among the players, and Glenwood de- feated Hudson by a score of 14-13. Hudson next came up against a very strong Me- nomonie team in a non-conference clash at the local gridiron. The “Indians” jumped off to a first quarter lead, but the “Raiders” came back with “Chow” Rose scoring. On the following kick off a tackle by “Fats” Persell caused the “Indians” to fumble. Hudson recovered and at half time led by a score of 12-7. The “Indians” made the score 14-12. A beautiful run by “Chow” of 55 yards put Hudson in the lead 18-14. The fourth quarter was a memorable one. The “Raiders” fought hard but were overcome by superior odds, weakened, and allowed three touchdowns. The “Raiders” never gave up but were defeated 38-18. The final game of the year was at Baldwin. The Raiders” overcame first quarter jitters and de- feated the “Blackhawks” 27-0. This marked the end of the ’56 season and also the careers of ten seniors. The seniors bowed out in great fashion in the last four minutes with passes by Bernie Lyksett to Bill Dabruzzi and Mickey Bannon. The “Raiders” ended the season in a tie for second place with Glenwood. It must be called a successful season.

Marsha Queen Kathy Homecoming September 28, 1956 Our Faculty! Homecoming 1956 When Hudson Fights, River Falls,” but that wasn’t what happened at the 1956 Home coming game held at Burton Field. River Falls tromped Hudson, 14-7; but this did not put a damper on the festivities. The slogan contest started a week before the “big night” and Kathryn Weitkamp came up with the winning slogan. Then five lovely contestants were chosen for the Home- coming queen contest: Genevieve Knutson, Barbara Blakeman, Anita Foss, Kathleen Martin, and Marsha Sherwood. Queen Kathy Martin was chosen to rule over the festivities at the afternoon pep fest, which included skits by each of the classes and a special skit, starring Carver “Elvis” Fouks, put on by the faculty. At 6:30 on September 28, the Homecoming parade started at the Lake Front Park. Each of the classes and some of the clubs entered the float contest. The sophomores were victorious, winning five dollars for having the best float. The band marched, and an added attraction was lovely Queen Kathy and her four attendants. The parade commenced, and soon afterwards the game started. The first half was as exciting as everyone expected. During the half-time entertainment, the queen and her attendants were presented and the high school band did a novelty presentation saluting all the schools in the conference. The results of the game weren’t exactly as we should have liked, but the spirit picked up at the after-thc-game dance held in the Oak Street Gymnasium with music furnished by the Black Hawk orchestra. Arnold Rebholz, Homecoming adviser, and Roland Daniels, student chairman, should be commended for the wonderful job they did in producing a memorable Homecoming for all. 35 Second Row: Mr. Boeddeker, Larry Agema, Donald Johnson, Charles Lewis, David Anderson, Donald Linehan, Timothy Franklin, Dennis Kaiser, Harlan Frost, Bruce Bonn- gard, Carl Schrank, James Vier, Mr. Zimmerman.

Basketball As Hudson’s 1956-57 basketball season opened, Coach Fouks found Jerry Rose, Tom Everson, Jim Linehan, Roger Lange, Mike Martin, Larry William- son, Tim Zorn, Bernie Lyksett, and Bill Holden coming out for another season of basketball. New- comers were Don Linehan and Dave Benoy. The Hudson “Raiders,” coached by Carver Fouks, began slowly and finished nicely in the tournament. There were several games that Hudson could have won, but they just didn’t “have it.” Hudson finished in a tie with Baldwin for fourth place in the Middle Border Conference with a 7-7 record. Hudson had plenty of potential, but just couldn’t find the right combination at times. The “Raiders” seemed to play their best ball away from home. Hudson’s closest games were against Colfax. Hud- son lost by one point at Colfax and by two points at home. When Hudson beat Ellsworth by 20 points, it looked like a good season after all. Hudson looked great in defeating Spring Valley twice and Durand once around Christmas time to run up a four game winning streak. But after Christmas Hudson lost four in a row to New Richmond, Menomonic, River Falls, and Glen- wood City before beating Baldwin 71-59 on their own court. Hudson had a 3-3 record in non-conference games, losing twice to Menomonie and once to St. Croix Falls while defeating Hastings, Durand, and Spring 38 Valley. In one game against Spring Valley Hudson made their first seven shots. Hudson lost twice to Colfax, defeated Ellsworth twice, and split with the rest of the teams in the Middle Border Conference. Tournament Record Hudson finished strong by winning five in a row only to be beaten by New Richmond 83-71 in the regional championship at Frederic. Hudson defeated River Falls in their last conference game 75-60. Jerry Rose established a new individual scoring record for Hudson with 34 points. In the first game of the tournament at Hudson, Hudson crushed Ellsworth 82-61 in one of their best games. The second night they won a close one from River Falls by the score of 60-57. Hudson outplayed Glenwood City the final night 67-59 to win the Sub- regional championship. On Friday night the “Raiders” traveled to Frederic in the hope of beating New Richmond and going on to Eau Claire. But one team has to lose, and New Richmond won 83-71. This was the final game for Jerry Rose, Tom Everson, and Bernie Lyksett. Jerry Rose set a Hudson scoring record of 453 points in 24 games. Tom Everson had the best percentage in making free throws. Hudson wound up with a 13-11 season, and the students can be proud of them.

Hudson defeated St. Croix Falls 28-27 in their first game. Hudson won or lost nine games by four points. The “B” squad defeated Has- tings by three and New Richmond and Glenwood City by four points. The “B” Raiders lost to Spring Valley, Menomonie, and New Richmond by one point. They also lost to Menomonie by two and Glenwood City by three. With a little more determination they could have won four or five more games. Hudson was able to beat Ellsworth and River Falls twice. They were defeated by Menomonie and Bald- win twice. The “B” Raiders split with Glenwood City, Spring Valley, and New Richmond. They beat St. Croix Falls, Hastings, and Colfax once. The “B” Raiders’ finest game was the last of the season against River Falls. The “B” team trounced River Falls 61-30.

Another successful year tor the Junior Girls’ Athletic Club started with the tremendous job of selecting their officers from twenty-five eighth graders and forty-one ninth graders. The final selection of Mary Jane Rusch, president; Charlette Holden, vice president; Kath- ryn Gifford, point secretary; Judith Engstrom, recording secretary under the leadership of their wonderful and always patient adviser. Miss Hughes, gave them inspiration and encouragement to fulfill the club’s goals for helping them in becoming well-rounded, healthy, happy girls. The annual initiation was a hilariously successful three days followed by a delicious dinner on October 18. The ninth graders energetically carried out the club’s spirit while participating in the athletic activities of the much admired Senior G.A.C. The freshmen tied for third place with the sophomores in the volleyball tournament and placed third in the basketball tour- nament. As they ardently battled for their athletic titles, one could see the eighth graders sitting green-eyed on the balcony anticipating their participation the coming year. The girls sold hot dogs, coffee, and doughnuts during the Homecoming game to raise the money needed to put on the annual Football-Basketball and Spring Dances. 44 The Middle Border Track Meet was held May 9, 1956, at River Falls.

GIRLS' GLEE CLUB The Girls Glee Club is the oldest organized choral group in the history of the school. Organized in 1916, it is still a major organization in the music department. The glee club, comprised of 85 members, was directed by Harold Ulring. They made a number of public appear- ances this year including the Rotary Club, the Christmas Program, P.T.A., and assemblies. This year they pre- pared “Alleluja” by Mozart, “The Creation ’ by Richter, and “Pueri Habraeorum’’ by Thompson, for the spring music festival at River Falls.

STUDENT COUNCIL The first task of the Student Council was the appointment of the All School Committees. Roland Daniels was elected chairman of Homecoming, the Council’s first big project. In order to raise money to purchase a plaque with changeable slogans, the Council sponsored a dance on November 16 entitled “Autumn Leaves.” In December Mary Ann Evenson and Stephen Frohlicher were selected co-chairmen of this year’s clothing drive. It turned out to be one of the most successful in school history; more than 700 pounds of clothing were collected. The Council’s final project was a “Twerp” season terminating with a dance. All School officers for the 1956-57 year were Tom Everson, president; Mary Ann Evenson, vice president; Barbara Blakeman, secretary; Stephen Frohlicher, senior activity manager; and Shirley Bearrood, junior activity manager.

DEBATE When the 1956-57 debate season started, the debaters of Hudson High knew only the general area of the question for this year. When it came out it read, “Should farm supports be held rigid at 90 per cent of parity or more, or should they be flexible? A panel discussion at a Rotary luncheon gave the members confidence and sent them on their way. This year there was only one club. It was for sophomores, juniors, and seniors; and it held supper meetings once a week, usually on Thursday. At these meetings the members discussed the problem and held practice debates. Students profited by debate because it gave them an open mind and developed their ability to talk before an audience. 56 KARLA AND COUPLES TOM SERVERS GRAND MARCH TOM AND BARB JUNIOR PROM DREAMLAND MAY 4, 1956 DALLAS AND JOYCE Future Teachers of America Interesting students in teaching as an occupation is the primary goal of the Future Teachers of America or- ganization.

The concert was held Thursday, December 20, in the Oak Street Auditorium at 8:00 P.M. The band played a novelty number, “ ’Twas The Night Before Christmas by Newell H. Long, with William Slater narrating that favorite poem. The Christmas Suite by Harold Walters was next on the program with “O Come Immanuel,” “Ring Christmas Bells,” “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” and others included. The band concluded its part of the program with three songs for christmas, “Angels We Have Heard On High,” “Bring a Torch,” and “What Child is This?” by Clare Grundman, and “A Merry Christmas” by Carl Franghiser. This was a medley of well known Christmas songs. Next the Boys’ Glee Club enchanted the audience with three numbers, “March of the Three Kings,” “Shepherd’s Christmas Song” in which Larry Williamson and Dale Stay- berg were the soloists, and “Winter Song” by Bullard. For a change of pace the sophomore Girls’ Triple Trio sang “Carol of The Bells” a Ukranian carol, and the junior Girls’ Triple Trio sang “Silver Bells” by Lwengton and Evans. The next vocal organization to sing was the Girls’ Glee Club. They sang three numbers, “Glory to God in the Highest” by Pergolesi, “The Christmas Story” by Mel Torme, featuring Barbara Blakeman as soloist, and “Three Christmas Carols,” a medley of old carols. The senior Girls’ Triple Trio sang “Winter Wonderland.” Then to conclude the program the Mixed Chorus sang four numbers. The unusual Christmas spiritual sung by the chorus in the processional was “Go Tell It on the Mountain.” They next rocked the audience to sleep with “Lullaby on Christmas Eve” by F. Melius Christiansen, featur- ing Barbara Blakeman as soloist, and woke them up again with the thundering “Carol of the Drum” by Katherine Davis. The last number on the program was an arrangement of Christmas Hymns, featuring some of the old favorites like “O Come, O Come Eman- uel,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem,” and the most loved Christmas hymn of all “Silent Night.” The excellent program was sponsored by the music department with Ernest McMillan as the instrumental director and Harold Ulring as the vocal director. The chorus accom- panist was Miss Sally Malone, and Elizabeth Spalding was accompanist for the Girls’ and Boys’ Glee Clubs. JUST LOOKING! RECEIVING LINE HOW DO YOU DO, SIR?? Advisory Tea February 27, 1957 LOOKING AROUND WAITING . . . Dear Daffodil A little imagination can add a lot of spice to life, but it can prove dangerous when the lives of others are involved. This was evidenced in the senior class play entitled “Dear Daffodil,” written by Dana Thom- as and presented December 7, 1956, under the direc- tion of Fred Johnson, and Barbara Blakeman, student director. Daffodil Coleman (Genevieve Knutson) got her family into trouble when they learned that she had been writing for eight months to Kent Merrill (Mick- ey Bannon), a soldier in the occupational army in Germany, with whom she knew she was in love. He suddenly arrived, and the whole family was thrown into a panic, for Daffy had varnished the truth a little by tacking on fancy titles to each member of the family. At his arrival, Kent picked the wrong sister, Doro- thea (Mary Ann Evenson), a beautiful girl, but whose beauty was only skin deep. She was practically en- gaged to Jim Carver (Thomas Everson) but spurned him temporarily for Kent. Cora Coleman (Dorothy Toll) discarded her shrink- ing violet characteristics in order to live up to her part as a sophisticate and found that it paid dividends. She discarded her one long romance in seven years, Ellsworth Norton (Gary Lein), and married her em- ployer, Dr. Withers. Mr. and Mrs. Coleman (Bernie Lyksett and Jean- ette Swenson) found, through Kent’s help, that Daffy had really not played up their abilities too much. The drawings Vida Coleman had been ashamed of sold like wildfire, and John Coleman’s “March of the Happy Yanks” became the top tune with only a little revising by Kent. Daffy’s loss of her “Mail order beau” was fortu- nately not a permanent mishap, for that embarrassing moment did arrive when all the members ot the family were caught in their masquerade and Kent realized his mistake in time to ask Daffy to marry him. Dorothea quickly regained Jim and was also engaged. Charles Coleman (John Kester), the adolescent son, wound up the third act with two black eyes due to his complete participation in his role of all-around athlete. Adding humor and complications to the play were Lawyer Coleman (Stephen Frolicher), Miss Thorpe (Rosemary Bicneman), a professional artist, Mrs. Mer- rill (Mary Ann Simpson), a magazine publisher, and two majorettes (Zo Ann Graham and Kathleen Mar- tin). The production staff of the play included Marsha Sherwood, Nancy Gartmann, Thomas Steele, Joan Suennen, Marccllaine Rauchnot, Anita Foss, Beverly Swanson, Opal Kukuska, Karen Sweitzer, and Roland Daniels. Senior Class Prophecy Dear Diary, It’s been such an exciting day. Today, May 31, 1967, our class, that graduated from Hudson High School in 1957, held its first class reunion. Everyone had such a good time. It was interesting to see what changes the ten years had brought about in each one of us. The noise was kept down by Chief George Graven, who was recently promoted to a State Highway Pa- trolman. William Slater now teaches a “jet” class. This class teaches the boys how to survive in atomic powered jets and flying saucers. De Ette Johnson didn’t have far to go to the class reunion because she is Hudson High School’s physical education instructor. The two new private eyes in town are Charles Reisinger and Dale Stayberg. They are investigating the possibilities of future reunions. Gerald “Chow” Rose is now playing professional football with the Stillwater “Scorpions.” Mary Ann Simpson took the Women’s International Roller Skating Championship this year. A sad note was added to the reunion because of the absence of some members. Sallie Jensen married the prince of India and is now living just outside of Bombay. Joan Suennen and John Kester arc now on location in Cuba starring in a new picture called “Island Paradise.” Carl Arndt and Martin Sahnow are astronomers who have definitely proved that the earth is round. Anita Foss has opened a chain of Dairy Marts all over the country and reports they are doing a rousing business. She purchases her plastic spoons from Pren- tiss Plastics. This booming business is run by none other than our own Elaine Prentiss. Genevieve Knutson is the head instructor at the St. Paul Institute of Cheerleading. Ruth Ann Crawley, Eva Sherley, and Frederick Buttke attended the reunion by way of the North Hudson taxi service. This service started when Wil- liam Dabruzzi became mayor of North Hudson. Thomas Steele, who managed to get time off from his job as head mechanic at the Ford Motor Company, came in a new chartreuse and pink 1967 Skyrocket Ford. Last year Mary Ann Evenson bought out Chrysler Corporation and is now producing the new, improved ’68 Dodges. The former Karen Sweitzcr is now a fashion de- signer for “Vogue” magazine. Betty Ann Schullo supervises the pin setters of the bowling alleys at the new improved Sam’s Recrea- tion. Beverly Swanson has been promoted to private sec- retary to the president of the Andersen Corporation. Two of the graduates are employed at movie studios in California. Jo Ann Brathall is a noted hair stylist for M.G.M. Studio, and Rosemary Bieneman is an artist for Walt Disney Productions. Dorothy Toll is still the proud owner of the wonder horse Flicka, who came through to win the Santa-A- Dale handicap for 1967. Richard Cameron is now competing for the Golden Gloves Championship. In only ten short years Gerald Johnson has been promoted to the highly exalted position of chief pea- picker at Stokeleys. We were fortunate in having B. L., the much cele- brated star of the Broadway production of the “Three Little Bears,” at our reunion. Edward Barber, the barber at Barber’s Barber, has just mastered the latest hair style for men. It features no hair. Mickey Bannon is the new chef at Rollie's — his speciality is hamburgers, Raw! ! “Rona’s Rock and Rollers” with Rona Bunce as head dancer are now appearing at Anchorage, Alaska. Her assistant, Marcy Rauchnot, is teaching the Es kimo teeners how to dance. Kathy Martin has added another crown to her collection. She was recently chosen Mrs. America of 1967. Barbara Miller has just finished her training as a test pilot for the government flying saucer program. Good-Bye and Good Luck! Many graduates have entered politics. Thomas Everson will be running for president on the Demo- cratic ticket next year with Rollie Daniels as vice president. The major campaign issue will be to change the donkey to a horse. Stephen Frohlicher has been active in youth work through-out the nation. He is now state committee chairman for the organization of youth centers. Nancy Gartmann has just proposed a new farm bill for Congress to act upon. Sheldon Bearrood has just been appointed to the position of Secretary of the Treasury. His new policy is “pay half your taxes now and the other half later. Leone Martinson is now running a lonely hearts matrimonial bureau in New York. Its famous slogan is “Don’t be lone, consult Leone.” Romaine Benson is now a secretary-assistant to Alfred Hitchcock. Robert Rohl has erected a hot dog stand just out- side of River Falls and has done an excellent business. Eugene Lamberta, it is reported, is still trying to grow. One of the most successful businesswomen here today is Opal Kukuska who has opened a beauty shop at Riverside Drive in North Hudson. Karla Schmidt is head nurse at St. Ronald’s Hos- pital. Marsha Sherwood is the owner of “Sherwood’s Sweater Shoppe in South Dakota. It has been rumored that Richard Ostendorf is really the wealthy manufacturer of “Dickie’s Doggie Dumplings.” We were entertained with a wonderful program put on by the following of our former classmates: Barbara Blakcman took time off from her two weeks’ singing engagement at Ekman’s to sing at our reunion. She is appearing nightly with Zo Ann Gra- ham’s famous all girl orchestra, which was also there to perform for us. Jeanette Swenson provided us with a style show of her latest creations, with Janet Branchfield as one of her models. Jeanette is now an assistant designer to Dior. Dan Hector provided thrills with his snake charm- ing act. George Neubarth displayed his rare collection of South American cats. To conclude the program Roger Persell gave every- one his latest recording of “Liberty Hill featuring the one and only “Fats Persell.” It has been a memorable occasion and one that I shall never forget. We set a date for the next reunion. May 31, 1977. I can hardly wait! Oh-hum I’m so tired, I think I’ll get some sleep. Good night, Diary. A Tired and Happy ’57 Graduate Margaret and Linda Charlette and Beth Catherine and Barbara Sharon and Lolita Forensics High school speech activities got under way in the latter part of February. Miss Hughes and Mrs. Rolle were ready and willing (as ever) to devote every spare moment to helping the students perfect their speeches. The people who went out for speech this year were Barbara Gherty and Steve Frohhcher, extemporaneous speaking; Anita Foss and Dianne Dvorak, ten minute original oratory; Lolita Holden and Sharon Holden, four minute speech (original); Nancy Gartmann and Gloria Miller, non original oratory; Jeanette Swenson and Mary Ann Evenson, extemporaneous reading; Linda Lahl and Margaret Eastman, interpretative or manuscript reading; Catherine Varnum and Barbara Blakeman, serious declamation; and Beth Gwin and Charlette Holden, humorous declamation. After being chosen from the school, the students went to the league contest which was held in Hudson this year. Those who received “A” ratings were then entitled to go on to the district contest at River Falls. Then on to Madison to the state contest for those who received “A” ratings at River Falls. The ultimate goal in speech is an “A” rating at Madison. Anyone who achieves this goal can really appreciate the purpose of this school activity and realize the great help it will be to him all through his life. Barbara and Stephen School Calendar September 4 marked a gay but fateful day. Again the three months of silence surrounding Hudson High was broken by the onrush of eager(?) students. September 7: Even though it’s only the fourth day of regular classes, school spirit is flying high, as shown at our first football game this evening with Ellsworth. Tuesday, anonymous: The senior class entertained and officially welcomed the class of 1960 into society tonight, at the Frosh-Senior Party. Of course everyone had a good time, thanks to the refreshments. September 12: Mr. Boeddeker finally junked the heap, and almost before it fell apart. He is now the proud owner of a brand new Volkswagon, but we still don’t know how he manages to climb in without wrapping his legs around his neck. September 28: Homecoming was rather early this year, but that surely didn’t hinder the festivities in the slightest. Mr. Fouks really “ripped it up” in his impersonation of Elvis. In fact, it seems as though “Carv” has everything Elvis has, except a fleet of Cadillacs. October 16 arrived and so did report cards . . . need I say more? October 23: Practice teachers are really rather handy, especially in chemistry class, where a serious-minded, hard-working gentleman concentrated too hard on his work today. The result was a pool of acid gleefully eating through the floor. October 26: “Is this a dagger which I see before me, the handle toward my hand?” Hark! It is but a frantic senior who knows it not and yet sees it still, in his heat-oppressed brain. October 31: Five seniors and a junior made a big hit tonight when they appeared at the Hallowe’en party as a 6-pack of Coke. November 9: The axe has fallen, and the “midnight oil” has burned out. A crushed group of juniors has completed its autobiographies. November 13: Really, cheese, peaches, foot powder, pea pickers, and photographers in general have to go! Annual pictures were taken today, and the “Colgate” smile seemed to have grown less radiant with each flash. November 15: Winter is really here, and there are drifts upon drifts of snow to prove it. Have fun skiers! November 16: Down with ground hogs! Are there any volunteers to the “Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals?” November 26: As Tom Younger said, shortly after receiving his class ring today, “Class rings come in two sizes, too big and too small.” December 6: “Dear Daffodil” was heralded as one of the best senior class plays ever to have been pre- sented in Hudson High. (Congratulations to Mary Ann Evenson for having thrown the water in the right face. December 20: Tonight was the Christmas Concert, presented by the music department, highlighting the Boys’ Glee Club and Elizabeth Spalding. December 21: Amid the tinkling of silver bells and sounding echo of “Merry Christmas,” our grand in- stitution was left deserted for two wonderful weeks. January 7: The New Year having been ushered in, with the usual merriment, a few of us settled down to thoughts of school once more. January 28: Sweet strains of saxophone music flood ed the Oak Street Auditorium, as the band presented its concert with Sigurd Rascher, world famous saxo- phonist. February 4: Mr. Nikhil Sanyal, our exchange teach- er from India was welcomed into our school. We hope he will enjoy and profit from his visit to our country, and in particular, his stay at Hudson High. February 25, 26, 28: Hudson was again the scene of the Regional Basketball Tournament. Toward the end of the week, many of us had begun to wonder if it really takes more energy to play basketball, than to usher, guard a door, or sell refreshments. February 31: Tonight’s the night ! March 6: Julie Ann Sagin, a transfer from London, and a “jolly good” friend started school here today. Did you know that a “bonnet” refers to the hood of a car; a “biscuit” is a sort of cookie; and the letter “z” is pronounced “zed?” “Our school is beginning to resemble the United Nations Building!” March 8: The operetta, “H.M.S. Pinafore,” was presented by grade students this evening. It was truly a fine performance . . . “It was the cat!” March 13: The popular question today seems to be, “What’s Rosie hiding?” ... a class ring perhaps? March 15: Dancing was to the music of the Fal- conaires at the St. Pat’s dance tonight. All the wee bonnie lads and lasses had a fine time. March 22: The junior class presented its “Second Annual Thug ’n Dame Brawl” tonight. Hank's Hang- out served as a neat hideaway for hoods and hood- ettes. April 1: “I’m not talkin’ while the flavor lasts!” April 27: Today half the school left for River Falls; it was the music department, attending the Spring Contest. May 10: “My Blue Heaven” was the prom theme, and all juniors will agree that it was the finest ever. May 31: Final exams are over, and another cla-s has passed through our halls. Good luck everyone, and, pardon my English, “Cheerio!” 69 BARBARA BLAKEMAN To My Hudson Friends, I take this opportunity to thank the generous Ford Foundation which has enabled me to visit the United States as an “Exchange-Visitor.” Though my primary objective is to observe and study the teaching of science in high schools, I find myself enriched with the won- derful experiences of this country in many other ways. I feel particularly grateful to the people of Hudson who have overwhelmed me with their love, hospitality, and friendliness. I feel proud to say that living half way across the globe from my home, where I have not a single soul to talk to in my own language, and in a country whose climate and ways of living are quite different even if not unfamiliar from ours, 1 have never felt home-sick. The people of Hudson (and they form the people of the United States) have been ever so kind, hospitable and most of all so informal as to endear their memory to me forever. I feel cer- tain that no amount of books, magazines, pictures, or movies can reveal the true and real nature of a people. By their nature they are limited in scope and more often they misrepresent rather than represent things by emphasizing the unimportant details and missing the broad important outlines. To know a people in proper perspective it is therefore necessary to live with them and share their joys and sorrows. It is therefore a great privilege for any person to be able to visit a foreign country where he is not only an ambassador of his motherland but also a messenger of good will of the host country. The rich experiences that he brings back to his native land have to be shared so that the sweetness and fragrance of good will spreads far and wide. Lasting peace and friendship between all countries of the world can be built up by friendly relationships at a human level. Nikhil K. Sanyal D.A.R. Award The youth of today are our country’s hope for future strength and progressiveness. A good citizen must possess the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Recognizing the import- ance of good citizenship, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution since 1925 has sponsored the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Pilgrim- age. Each year one outstanding senior girl from each state is awarded a $100 bond and the honor of being D.A.R. Good Citizen of her state. Our most outstanding senior citizen, Barbara Blake- man is Hudson High School’s candidate for the 1957 state contest. Barbara has been a loyal and capable leader in many school offices which include president of the senior class, all-school secretary, and secretary of G.A.C. She was student director of the senior class play, a candidate for Homecoming Queen, and has been an active member of Girl Scouts. Barbara can always be depended on to give loyal and devoted service to family, community, church, school, and friends. Because she possesses the highest qualities of good citizenship, the faculty presents the D.A.R. Good Cit- izenship Award for 1957 to Barbara Blakeman. Nikhil F.

Representative Senior BARBARA BLAKEMAN The worthwhile characteristics which a high school graduate should possess, in the opinion of the faculty are “character of a quality in keeping with the student’s age and training; a knowledge of right from wrong; a desire to seek more knowledge with the guidance of parents, teachers, and superiors; a certain degree of leadership and inde- pendence of others, a determination to lead a wholesome life and broadmindedness enough to appreciate that all work no matter how humble is as important for the welfare ol the community as the position of a higher rank.” Keeping these attributes in mind, the faculty of Hudson High School has chosen Barbara Blakeman the representative senior for 1957. Barbara has exhibited quiet, capable, and positive leadership, loyalty to the finer ideals of life, and outstanding scholarship. Her special contributions to Hudson High School have been in the fields of speech and music; and she has given a good account of herself in every activity in which she has participated. Barbara has always been a friendly, thoughtful, willing, dependable, industrious, and loyal student of Hudson High School; and the faculty is pleased to present the award to this deserving student.
