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
