Dedication For the services and friendly gestures we too often take for granted, for their genuine interest in school activities and organi2ations, for their courtesy toward students and faculty, we, the True Blue Staff of 1958, dedicate our book to Vernon Hilden, Selmer Olson, and Melvin Peterson. 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.

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
