FOREWORD To show a kaleidoscopic view of school life and to acquaint you with the spirit of excellent harmony that is prevalent in Hudson education have been the aims of the editors of the 1958 True Blue. If this volume will accord you any pleasure as you page through it, and if you gain a feeling of satisfaction as you enjoy reminiscences among your former school memories, then we shall be content in the thought that our efforts have been justly rewarded and our goals have been reached.

The Board of Education Five outstanding citizens of Hudson comprise the Board of Education for the Hudson Community Schools.

The student body expresses gratitude and appreciation for the services of Norman Gilbert, president; Dr. P. A. Tweet, treasurer; Byron Spalding, clerk; David Kelly and Arthur Lilley, directors. 5 GREETINGS: This is the age of rapid technological development. Man is ever reaching out to control ideologies as well as the physical universe. Our rapid progress tends to make our physical well being ever easier and more comfortable, yet greatly increasing our mental and emotional strains. While our standard of living improves, our problems multiply and become more complex. Man has always fought and striven for freedom. The more nearly he has achieved freedom, the higher have his standards of living been. As the world grows smaller in terms of time and travel, the number of men increases, and competition becomes keener and more complex, we realize the difficulties involved in maintaining our dearly won freedoms. Youth must realize that preparation for living in tomorrow becomes more complex and will tax our very best efforts. We cannot glide into a high level of achievement and ease, but must climb the difficult path through our own best efforts. When we become flabby and soft both physically and mentally, then we shall stand to lose much of what we now consider valuable and worthwhile. A scientific diet is good for progress if well seasoned with a sauce of moral and ethical ideals. Science alone may destroy us. We still need our poets and philosophers to supply the vitamins of well being. Edward P. Rock 6 Another school year is rapidly drawing to a close. Looking backward, it is amazing when we realize that during the short lives of our present senior class numerous changes in living have taken place. Television has changed our mode of communication and entertainment; radar has made possible detection of unseen objects; jets have moved distant places close together; and “sputniks” have conquered space for future space travel. These are great achievements in the field of science. Seniors, these and other fields offer a challenge to everyone of you. I trust you will visualize their importance and fill in where ever you fit.

Senior Class History As 87 of us crossed the threshold in 1954 we dropped our mothers’ apron strings to become eligible for HHS. Gregory Peterson, Roberta Lawson, Alecia Martinson, Kathryn Weitkamp, and Catherine Vamum led the way. Mr. Meschke was there to guide us through. It wasn’t long before the whole student body had begun reciting the Preamble with us as we passed from our civics classes. Not until we had attended our first social event, The Freshmen-Senior Party, did we become full-fledged members. Our prize winning float in the homecoming parade built confidence in us, and soon we were taking part in many extra curricular activities. As sophomores we proceeded on our way. We were ushered by Judith Keyes, Richard Schaubschlager, June Ann Colbeth, Shirley Bearrood, Kathryn Weit- kamp, and Mr Rebholz, adviser. Even the girls found dissecting frogs an interesting project in the biology classes. We held two successful dances to earn money for our junior prom. They were the Victory Dance in honor of the championship football team and the first annual “Thug and Dame Brawl.” Being upperclassmen, we walked more proudly than ever before through the halls. Nights grew shorter for those last minute juniors who stayed up late to complete their autobiographies. We held our second annual “Thug and Dame Brawl.” After we received our striking class rings, we became enthusiastic about making plans for the prom, “My Blue Heaven.” Our class was the first to introduce a bubbling fountain into our decorating scheme. Our officers who led the prom were Robert Beeson, Larry Williamson, Hope Nord, Gregory Peterson, and Ronald Bosman. Mr. Rebholz was our adviser. As we neared the end of our journey through the halls, we paused to present our successful senior class play, “The Perfect Idiot.” Since we are a class with originality, we put on a free dance which was the third annual “Thug and Dame Brawl.” Those of us who took advanced mathematics all looked forward to the classes. We were guided through the last part of our journey by James Linehan, Alecia Martinson, Barbara Selbredc, Gregory Peterson, Lloyd Gilbert, and Mr. Rosenberg, adviser. It wasn’t long before Com- mencement exercises were over, and we were soon look- ing back on our profitable school days. 21 JUNIOR Back Row: Richard Kidd, Lyle Hassebroek.

ELEVEN OF ’5 1 Hudson started the 1957 football season with a home-game victory over Ellsworth. The “Raiders” had been practicing hard for three weeks prior to this game and were really up for it. With quarterback, co-captain Larry Williamson scampering for an early touchdown, the “Raiders” gained the lead and won quite handily, 21-0. The boys really showed coaches Carver Fouks, Glenn Mueller, Noel Schumacher and the fans a top notch performance. A hard hitting Spring Valley team drove home with a victory over the “Raiders” as they racked up 31 points against Hudson’s 18. A touchdown by the “Cardinals” early in the first quarter started them on their way, and the “Raiders” just couldn’t come back. Scorers for Hudson were “Rog” Lange, “Bill” Holden, and “Ole” Graven. Defense was the word as the determined “Raiders” bottled up Colfax 25-0. In spite of the long ride the many Hudson fans were not disappointed as the “Raid' ers” dominated most of the play. Credit again must be given to Coach Fouks who prepared the boys for the feared passing attack of the “Vikings.” “Tim” Zorn, Lloyd Gilbert, “Mike” Kratochwill, and “Mike” Martin were the main stays in the line. The scoring was started by “Snuffy” Willamson on a quarterback sneak. The highlight of the game was the “extra point” scored by lineman, “Lloydie” Gilbert. Hudson suffered defeat at the hands of its archrival River Falls as the “Wildcats” topped Hudson 14 0 in their Homecoming game. A bad case of jitters and lack of confidence was prevalent among the “Raiders,” and the “Wildcats” were quick to take advantage of this. Dick Bennet scored in the first quarter for the “Cats,” and although the “Raider’s” defense tightened up, the offense could not score. “Jim” Linehan, co- captain and fullback, was injured in the first quarter. “Jim’s” play was greatly missed, and the backfield couldn’t seem to click again. Several drives were stopped by fumbles or intercepted passes. In the fourth quarter Dave Nichols scored for the “Falls” as the game ended. Victory over New Richmond spelled out a perfect Homecoming for Hudson. The fired-up “Raiders” could not be held back and scored the first three times thejj had the ball. Soon Coach Fouks “cleared the bench,” and every member of the team played in the Home' coming game; something that has not happened in many years. The best in sportsmanship was shown by the coaches as the score would have been much higher if they had let the first team continue the game. Sopho- more “Den” Kaiser scored two touchdowns in the first quarter to lead the “Raider” scoring. “Bill” Holden and “Jim” Linehan each scored a touchdown. A pass from ‘Snuffy” Williamson to “Mike” Martin was good for another touchdown, and the final score was 36-6. Although Hudson held the lead until the final quarter, a spirited Glenwood City team defeated the “Raiders” 18' 12 at Glenwood. On the opening kickoff “Bill” Holden ran 75 yards for a touchdown and had it called back because of a penalty. This seemed to be the story all night as the “Raiders” were plagued by penalties. The “Hilltoppers” were out to win and scored the decisive touchdown in the final two seconds of the game. The “Raiders” ended their conference schedule with a win over Baldwin. The score 31-28 docs not tell the whole story. The coaches and fans got to see “next year’s” players as Hudson used its second and third teams most of the game. “Den” Kaiser, “Don” Jacob- son, and “Ron” Anderson each scored for the “Raiders.” Hudson bowed to a powerful Menomonie team (third ranking team in the state) at Menomonie 44-0. Although playing against an obviously superior team, the “Raiders” never gave up, in spite of many injuries on the team. Twelve seniors played their last game for Hudson High School: Paul Anderson, “Tim” Bommer, “Ron” Bosman, Lloyd Gilbert, “Bill” Holden, “Tom” John- son, “Mike” Kratochwill, “Jim” Linehan, “Mike” Martin, “Bob” Stewart, “Larry” Williamson and “Tim” Zorn. These boys will long be remembered for their sportsmen-like conduct both on and off the field; the spirit and desire to win were always present. LARRY “SNUFF” WILLIAMSON . . . 5 9” ... 155 pounds ... A two year letterman . . . Larry was our co-captain and quarterback this year. He was al- ways full of spirit. Larry also played outside linebacker. He was a hard man to get around. TIMOTHY TIM” BOMMER ... 6’ ... 170 pounds ... A one year letter- man . . . Tim played center for Hudson. One could always depend on “Tim” to get that ball placed where you wanted it. ■hPER RONALD “RON” BOSMAN . . . 5T0” . . . 195 pounds ... A three year letterman . . . “Ron” played tackle and guard. When one wanted a hole blocked up, “Ron” was the boy that could do it. “Ron” was a very good ballplayer. JAMES “JIM” LINEHAN . . . 6T” ... 190 pounds ... A two year letter- man . . . “Jim” was also one of the co- captains. He played tackle on defense and fullback on offense. When “Jim” came in for a block or tackle, you surely knew it when he hit you. PAUL “PONA” ANDERSON . . . 5’8” ... 155 pounds ... A one year letterman . . . Paul was the boy to put into the game when something urgent had to be done. He could take a real beating and come up smiling. MICHAEL “MIKE” MARTIN ... 6’ ... 170 pounds ... A three year letterman . . . “Mike” played end on both offense and defense. He was one of the best ends Hudson has had in a long time. “Mike” was always full of spirit. ROBERT “BOB” STEWART . . . s’9” • • • 145 pounds ... A one year letter- man . . . “Bob” played guard on defense. He was a hard hitter and a very vicious man to come up against. LLOYD “TOIT” GILBERT ... 6’ ... 18 5 pounds ... A three year letter- man . . . Lloyd was a mainstay in the middle of the line on defense and offense. Lloyd always had the desire to win along with the desire to have fun doing it. TIMOTHY “TIM” ZORN ... 6’ ... 17 5 pounds ... A three year letter- man . . . “Tim” played tackle and line- backer. He was very good at opening up the holes in the line. Our opponents had a hard time getting past “Tim.” He just put his head down and plowed into them. MICHAEL “MIKE” KRATOCHWILL . . . STo” . . . 165 pounds ... A one year letterman . . . He played guard and did a very very good job at it. “Mike” came to Hudson from Fennimore in his junior year. WILLIAM “BILL” HOLDEN . . . 6’ . . . 170 pounds ... A three year letterman . . . “Bill” played halfback and safety. He surely could dazzle the oppon- ents by wiggling his hips. “Bill” was an outstanding ballplayer. HUDSON AREA JOINT L'BT RY HISTORY ROOM Senior ft . The spirit of victory was in the hearts of all as they came to the Oak Street Gymnasium to dance to the music of Tommy Bauer and his orches- tra until 12:00. Dianne Dvorak, student chairman, the many faculty advisers, and the Homecoming Committee including Shir- ley Bearrood, June Ann Colbeth, Judy Keyes, Gloria Miller, Jane Mullen, Lolita Holden, Alecia Martinson, Dat' rell Newman, and Janeth Bol had all worked hard and were pleased, proud, thankful, and a bit weary at Home- coming’s close. Homecoming Junior High Football This year’s junior high football team showed an unusual desire to win. Sparked by hard running back James Beaudry and spirited defensive playing by Robert Steiner and Steven Olson the team always came through with a fine performance. “Lack of experience,” said Coach Cassutt, “was our greatest handicap, but the boys always showed fine cooperation and improved every week.” JUNIOR HIGH TEAM The starting line-up included center, Bruce Anderson; guard, Claude Anderson; guard, Wen- dell Petersen; tackle, Donald Johnson; tackle, Charles Lewis (not pictured); end, Keith Sel- brede; end, Thomas Segerstrom; quarterback, Steven Olson; halfback, Robert Steiner; halfback, Glen Jacobson; and fullback, James Beaudry.

Basketbal As Hudson’s 1957-58 basketball season got under way Coach Fouks found six returning letter- men in Mike” Martin, “Jim” Linehan, “Dave” Benoy, “Larry” Williamson, Roger Lange, and “Don” Linehan. They were joined by newcomers Lyle Hassebroek, “Brad” Noreen, Dennis Kaiser, “Bob” Gilbert, “Bill” Knutson, Murray Edin, and Stewart Anderson. The “Raiders” started out the season very im- pressively and by the Christmas holidays had com- piled a 7-1 record. At this time they were leading the Middle Border Conference with a 5-0 record. After the vacation period the “Raiders” lagged for a while and lost two games in succession to New Richmond and River Falls. These setbacks seemed to awaken the team, for they roared back to pile up six straight victories. But again the “Raiders” ran into New' Richmond and lost a heartbreaker in the last minute 50-46. They rebounded from this defeat to take the measure of River Falls 67-61 in an overtime thriller. In the final game of the season Hudson drubbed a good Durand team in what was one of their most impressive games of the season. Hudson had a 4-1 record in non-conference games. They whipped Menomonie twice and St. Croix Falls and Durand once each while losing to Hastings. Hudson lost twice to New Richmond, split with River Falls, and defeated all the remaining teams twice to finish in second place in the Middle Border Conference race. TOURNAMENT RECORD The tournament brought Hudson’s most crush- ing defeat. The first night Hudson did not play. The second night they met a determined and much improved Menomonie five who took their measure 67-50. The third night of the tournament Hudson bounced back to defeat Spring Valley and earn the right to meet Amery for the regional consolation. The last night of the tournament found the “Raid- ers” even more determined as they whipped Amery 73-61. The Raiders” will be remembered for their splendid season record even though they didn’t live up to expectations in the tournament. Their overall season record was 17-5. The students of Hudson High can be very proud of their team. The end of the basketball season found four seniors on the squad and also marked the end of their playing days for Hudson High School. The graduating seniors are “Jim” Linehan, “Mike” Martin, “Dave” Benoy. and “Larry” Williamson. 38 A” Squad Hudson 52 St. Croix Falls 47 Hudson 55 Baldwin 54 Hudson 52 Hastings 53 Hudson 58 Glenwood City 52 Hudson 68 Colfax 55 Hudson 82 Ellsworth 57 Hudson 71 Menomonie 62 Hudson 53 Spring Valley 40 Hudson 52 New Richmond 58 Hudson 53 River Falls 64 Hudson 57 Baldwin 56 Hudson 54 Menomonie 5i Basketball Record Hudson 64 Coltax 40 Hudson 48 Glenwood City 45 Hudson 70 Ellsworth 49 Hudson 67 Spring Valley 64 Hudson 46 New Richmond 5° Hudson 67 River Falls 61 Hudson 79 Durand 56 TOURNAMENT Hudson 50 Menomonie 67 Hudson 60 Spring Valley 52 Hudson 73 Amery 61 From left to right: Coach Schumacher, Joel See, James Vier, Wayne Couch, Robert Young, James Hansen, Richard Sclbrede, Dennis Kaiser, David Anderson.

Long hours were spent by the band to produce the best concert that has ever been presented. Rafael Mendez, one of the world’s greatest trumpeters, was the guest soloist. Numbers arranged by Paul Yoder, Gershwin, Mozart, and Mendez were played. After the clinic held at Spring Valley, March i o, ensembles and solists took part in the contest at River Falls. River Falls was again the scene for music. Bands and choruses from neighboring towns parti- cipated in the annual spring music festival.

Student Council The Student Council is the governing body of our school elected by the students to carry out their wishes. This year the council was active in the problems of reducing the size of the group, fire drills, social hours, summer recreational programs, tournament activities, and other school projects. One of the big projects was Homecoming ACTIVITY MANAGERS preparations, and Dianne Dvorak was elected chair- man with teachers and students working with her. This year’s clothing drive was a success due to the leadership of Alecia Martinson. Approximately 1,000 pounds of clothing were sent to the American Save the Children Federation. Another worth- while project was the Foreign Student Aid Dance held on April 18. ALL SCHOOL OFFICERS All School Committees SOCIAL COMMITTEE Bach Row: James Hansen, Duane Hauge, Miss Lee, adviser.

(n i he. hisHCsr, Christmas Program Music of Christmas filled the Oak Street auditorium the evening of December 19, 1957. Vocal director, Harold Ulring, and instrumental director, Ernest McMillan, along with all the members of the high school music groups worked and planned to present an enjoyable Christmas program to the public. Accompanists for the various vocal groups were Tonita Tweet, Gloria Miller, Elaine Christoph, Elizabeth Spalding, Priscilla Stohl- berg, and Betty Chilgren. Jane Hansen introduced the program with Christmas chime music. The band followed with the familiar Jingle Bells Rhapsody,” ‘‘White Christmas,” “Gesu Bambino,” and a modern arrangement of “Parade of the Wooden Soldiers.” Ronald Anderson and Roger Martinson stepped into the spotlight as soloists with the Boys’ Glee Club in Jingle Bells” and “Gesu Bambino.” The group also sang “Shepherds Awake.” Four small ensembles included in the program were the sophomore, junior, and senior Girls’ Triple Trios, and the Boys’ Octet. The Girls’ Glee Club sang the spirited “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town,” “Mr. Santa,” and “Let It Snow.” Charlette Holden took the soprano solo in “O Holy Night.” The girls concluded with “And the Glory of the Lord” from Handel’s “Messiah.” Last on the program was the Mixed Chorus with “The Holly and the Ivy,” “Patapan,” “My Two Front Teeth,’’ “A Joyous Christmas Song,” and “There Shall a Star Come Out of Jacob.” The final number, “Silent Night,” was sung first by the chorus, then by soloist Martha Cornelissen while the audience and chorus hummed, and last it was sung by everyone. . u V'Xo'Ail.ors Fc? Club N«.' 'VOU5 ? The Perfect Idiot “Aw fellas, I ain’t so dumb,” Puff (Lloyd Gilbert) declared. But the gang knew that unless Dan Tenny- son, the young genius, (Gregory Peterson) tutored Puff, their star athlete, into passing, he wouldn’t be eligible for the big track meet. “Why should I help you?” Dan asked. “You never come around unless you want something.” Suddenly he realized that he could use this to his advantage. His parents (Margaret Eastman, Robert Beeson) wouldn’t let him go to college until he became a social success. So Dan agreed to tutor Puff if the gang would wage a secret campaign to make him that social success. Dan decided to use his hypnotic teaching method on Puff. Suddenly Puff could remember everything and proceeded to quote lines of Shakespeare. His whole interest turned from sports to studies. The gang (Judith Evenson, Mary Ellen Hancock, and Cathy Varnum) became very worried. Mr. Latherby, (David Casey) head of the radio quiz show Dan had quit, came to the house to plead with Dan to return. He accidentally hypnotized himself and thought he was a rabbit. Bedlam broke loose as Puff began yelling lines from Macbeth; Mr. Latherby hopped and screamed that somebody stole his parsnips; Rhodora, the maid, (Joy Morrissette) cried for help; and the gang ran about trying to restore peace. At this time Dan’s parents, teacher, (Kathryn Weitkamp) principal, (James Schwenk) and a reporter (June Colbeth) arrived home. A policeman (Lawrence Williamson) also arrived. A week later Dan was still trying to get out of the house where he was being punished. His younger brother, Jackie, (Tom Younger) and Rhodora tried to comfort him. The one thing he hadn’t planned on was falling head over heals for Linda Barnard, the principal’s daughter (Catherine Varnum). Dan was supposed to go to college, but he wanted to stay with the gang and Linda. So when he took the entrance exams, he purposely answered all the questions wrong. The college sent a psychiatrist (Tim Bommer) to Dan. He expected to find a perfect idiot. At first Dan, with the help of the gang, pretended to have a nervous breakdown, but finally he told the truth. The psychiatrist, realizing that Dan is a perfect genius, promised that he could retake the tests. Linda would go to college too; and Puff, being eligible, won the big meet. As the curtain closed, Anita Bleier, student director, Fred Johnson, director, prompters Gloria Miller and Barbara Selbrede, Dianne Dvorak, make-up, and Duane Hauge and Ronald Bosman, stage crew-, all sighed with relief. Forensics In February and March Hudson’s | speech enthusiasts began working fur- iously to prepare their speeches for the jfl annual contest. The students were again under the competent direction of Miss Hughes and Mrs. Rolle. Students competing this year are Sharon and Lolita Holden, four minute speech; Kathryn Weitkamp and Dianne Dvorak, ten minute original oratory; James Hanson and Peder Svare, extemporaneous speaking; Elizabeth Spalding and Margi Scholl, non-original oratory; Charlette Holden and Beth Gwin, humorous declamation; Margaret Eastman and Linda Lahl, interpretative reading; Catherine Varnum and Mary Jean Kukuska, serious declamation; Kirsten Svare and Karen Ernst, extempora- nous reading. A play reading division in which five students take the parts in a five character play was introduced this year. After being selected to represent the school, the students compete in the League Contest which is held at River Falls this year. If the student receives an “A” rating, he is eligible to enter the district competition at Wisconsin State College at River Falls. Contestants who receive an “A” in the district competition are eligible for the state contest which is held at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. The results of the contests were not available as this report went to the printer. (•o tit'll A Look Into The Future The day is May 29, 1984.

Good citizens are essential if our country is to remain strong and free. A good citizen must possess the qualities of dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Recognizing the importance of good citizenship, the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution since 1925 has sponsored the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Pilgrimage. 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, Shirley Bearrood, is Hudson High School’s candidate for the 1958 state contest. Shirley has been active in several school offices during her four years in school which include sophomore class treasurer. Commercial Club president, and junior and senior activity manager. Each of these she has carried out faithfully and well. Not only school and home but also community and church have profited by her services. She has been very active in Girl Scouts and in her church, serving as Sunday School teacher and president of the youth group. Because she possesses the highest qualities of good citizenship, the faculty presents the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Award for 1958 to Shirley Bearrood. Representative Senior JUDY KEYES Each year since 1927 the faculty has chosen a representative senior who has been presented with a suitable award at Commencement. The worthwhile characteristics which a high school graduate should possess 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 guidance of parents, teachers, and superiors; a certain degree of leadership and independence of others; the ability to live well with other people; 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 of the community as the position of higher rank. This year the faculty of Hudson High School has chosen Judith Keyes the repre- sentative senior for 1958. Judith has always shown mature judgment and common sense in her decisions and actions. During her four years of high school she maintained a high scholastic record, participated in Mixed Chorus and Glee Club, was elected All School President in her senior year and Class President in her sophomore year as well as taking an active part in the sports program of the Girls’ Athletic Association. The faculty is pleased to present the award to Judith Keyes, a friendly, democratic, industrious, dependable, loyal student of Hudson High School. 76 Badger Girls’ State GLORIA MILLER “If the democratic way of life is to be successful, then everybody must believe in it, and study how to take a part in the business of making it work. And everybody means men, women, and children working separately and in unison for that common purpose. The Badger Girls’ State is one way of preparing to do a share of the work of government, a work which everyone must understand and in which all must participate.” Each year the American Auxiliary of Wisconsin sponsors one week of learning and fun at Badger Girls’ State held at the University of Wisconsin. Girls from all over the state meet to take part in a “mock government” on town, county, and state levels. Spirited campaigns are held to elect officers representing the two major parties. Federalist and Nationalist with conventions, posters, and much talking. Then the various governments are put into action and typical problems are discussed. Leisure time was spent in various ways: writing home, swimming, tour of the campus, trip to the Capitol, chorus, and band. At the last general meeting, the two Girls’ Nation representatives were announced. The night air was then filled with “Onward Christian Soldiers” as the 345 girls marched down Bascom Hill. Each knew Badger Girls’ State would prove to be an experience she would never forget. Back Row: David Hart, Roberta Lawson, Geraldine Stahnke, Janice Riedel.
