The Board of Education The administrative body of the Hudson Community Schools is the Board of Education, which hires the faculty members, lays out the budget, and establi- shes the policies which govern our schools. On behalf of the student body, we wish to express our thanks for the faithful service and loyalty of Norman Gilbert, president; Dr. P. A. Tweet, treasurer; Byron Spalding, clerk; David Kelly and Arthur Lilley, directors. 5 Mr. Rock Greetings: Congratulations on the completion of another successful year of accomplish- ment. You have demonstrated abilities necessary for growth and leadership. You will need these qualities in the years ahead to help cope with the problems of humanity. The world is in ferment. Mankind everywhere is restless and groping for betterment and security. A large percentage of people are illiterate and poorly equipped to cope with modem problems of government, sociology, health, and economics. They are being bombarded with different ideologies to solve their problems and realize their goals. You must assume a prominent roll in solving these problems. Prepare yourselves now to face up to the tasks that need solution. 6 Edward P. Rock Superintendent Keep your ears, your eyes, and your heart open, and be sure that they are your ears, eyes, and heart. In this democracy, you alone have the right to say what you will listen to, look at, speak out, and love. Begin doing what you want to now, but remember your fellow man. We are not living in eternity. We have only a few moments, sparkling like a diamond in our hand — and melting like a snow flake. Let us use them before it is too late. W. G.

Senior Class History September, 1957, brought mixtures of anxiety and fear as we became lowly freshmen of Hudson High. Our minds were put at ease as we attended the Freshmen-Senior Party, where we gained a real sense of belonging and the courage and interest to make use of the many opportunities set before us. Once our ball started rolling, it gained momentum as we presented a February “Heart Hop”. The success of this first dance and first year were accomplished under the leadership of Marjorie Peterson, Janice Skalicky, Carol Miller, Judith Engstrom, Tonita Tweet, and Mrs. Orness, adviser. Merrily we rolled along as sophomores. Thomas Segerstrom, Ronald Handlos, Kathleen Wallace, Sharon Ulman, and Robert Steiner led the way with the advice and help of Mr. Rebholz. We presented “Harvest Moon” as a dance that year and sold felt pins as a money-raising project during Homecoming. . . . Although we lost money on our Homecoming project, we gained much through our education, activi- ties, and friends. Our ball took a jump as we assumed the sophistication and responsibilities of upper classmen in our junior year. We resumed the sale of felt pins again at Homecoming, this time reaping the profits. Home- coming was also brightened by our hilarious skit, which took first place. Mr. Rebholz and Mr. Lundbeck joined efforts in advising us, with student guidance from Thomas Segerstrom, Robert Steiner, Judith Eng- strom, Ronald Handlos, and Geraldine Grass. Under them we rolled even further along to receive our class rings and release our talents and working power as a class in our prom, “Southern Stardust”. These cher- ished memories and accomplishments kept our ball gaining speed and power in everything we did. As seniors we were really bouncing. We started another ball rolling in the freshman class by a success- ful Freshmen-Senior Get-Together. Our Homecoming float took first prize for the best workmanship. We gained another first in the presentation and sponsorship of the premier of the play, “The Many Loves Of Dobie Gillis”, the proceeds of which went to the A.F.S. fund. Soon it was time to order announcements and take measurements for caps and gowns. In May, 1961, we gave our last dance as a farewell to our high school years. Our success as seniors came through the leadership of Janice Skalicky, Robert Jensen, Sharon Ul- man, Mary Heywood, Geraldine Grass, and the help of Mr. Carlson and Mr. Johnson, advisers. As strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” filled the auditorium on June 1, 1961, we knew our ball was still rolling. It would keep rolling, but in different directions as our class of 1961 ended its high school years. 24 SENIOR Geraldine Grass, Student Council representative; Mary Heywood, treasurer; Robert Jensen, vice- president; Sharon Ulman, secretary; Janice Skal- icky, president.

Hudson High School Band 38 ; c Senior Band Many football and basketball games kept the Hudson High School Senior Band busy during the 1960-1961 school year as it helped boost school spirit and morale with its spirited playing. The sixty-five piece band put on several marching exhibitions during football game half-times, one of which was dedi- cated to Miss Lee in appreciation of her many services for the school. The year continued with the band co-sponsoring the United States Air Force Band Concert on October 9, participating in a Halloween parade on October 31, and the Christmas Concert on December 11, and co- sponsoring the University of Wisconsin Band Concert on January 24. Trumpet virtuoso Rafael Mendez, who has performed in Hudson in previous years, and Don Craig, who was at one time with the Fred Waring Pennsylvanians but is now head of the music department at Ithaca College, Ithaca, New York, came for a band and chorus clinic and concert on April 8. The mem- bers of both band and chorus labored hard but enjoyed working with these famous musicians, who delighted their audiences with their skill. The annual Pop Concert was held on Saturday, May 13, and the year ended with commencement and the Memorial Day parade. The band officers were Tonita Tweet, president; Barbara Waxon, vice-president; Judith Engstrom, secretary-treasurer; Jean Moen and Diane Trapp, librarians; Peter McMillan, Gary Tweet, and Peter Van Putten, student managers.

The Boys’ Quartet opened the program with “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”. After the welcome from the Boys’ Quartet, the Senior Band presented “The Hansel and Gretel Overture”, followed by “A Song for Christmas”, and a novelty number “Yuletide Festival”. The Mixed Chorus, Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs, and the Junior High Chorus processed into the gym as the Band played “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” and “O Come, All Ye Faithful”. The Junior High Chorus sang the beautiful “Ring Those Christmas Bells” and “Rise Up Early”. The Boys’ Glee Club delighted the audience with “’Twas the Night Before Christmas” and their ar- rangement of “Jingle Bells”. They were followed by the Girls’ Glee Club who sang “My Heart Rejoices”, “And the Glory of the Lord” from the “Messiah” by Handel, and the inspiring Negro spiritual “Rise Up Shepherd”, the soprano solo being sung by Diane Trapp. While the small ensembles prepared for their contribution to the program on the stage, the audience was asked to sing “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” and “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear”. The stage curtains then opened to reveal several symbols portraying the Christmas season. These were planned by Richard Souligny. In a bell the freshman Triple Trio sang “Silver Bells” followed by a Boys’ Triple Trio, who came out of a large star carrying lanterns and singing “I Heard the Bells”. The Girls’ Octet, in a stocking, sang “Christmas Was Meant for Children”, followed by the Girls’ Triple Trio in a Christmas tree frame who sang “God’s Christmas Tree”. A second Boys’ Triple Trio sang “O Christmas Tree” as they walked about the stage. The last of the small groups to sing was the Girls’ Sextet as they sang “No Candle Was There and No Fire”. The lights slowly faded as the curtains closed. The audience was again asked to sing two carols, “O Little Town of Bethlehem” and “Joy to the World”. The Mixed Chorus sang four numbers, “Go Tell It on the Mountain”, “Carol of the Drum”, the five-part “Nutcracker Suite” by Tchaikovsky, and the stirring “Hallelujah Chorus” from the “Messiah” by Handel. At the conclusion of the program, the lights dimmed as the Glee Club sang “Silent Night” and the Mixed Chorus recessed to the outer lobby where they echoed the strains of this favorite of all Christmas carols as the curtains on the stage opened to reveal the impressive manger scene. Christmas Was Meant for Children” The Junior High Chorus really did “Ring Those Christmas Bells”. Fourth How Kenneth Olson. Richard Souligny. James Bonngard, Daniel Christianson.

Student Council The Clothing Drive, Sno-Days, Homecoming, and the American Field Service, in addition to other duties, kept the twenty-eight Council members and their adviser, Mr. Heiting, busy during the year. To promote the best interests of Hudson High School and to develop a spirit of cooperation and good fellowship throughout the school are the aims of the Student Council, which includes representatives from the advisory groups and classes. The Student Council holds many duties and powers necessary for the smooth functioning of the social and intellectual life. Such duties include the appearance of the school both inside and outside, seeing to it that the pep assemblies, social hours, and other events are carried out and conducted in the best man- ner possible, and regulating the orderly manner in which students are to pass to and from classes, especially at noon hour. Other projects include cleaning out the trophy cases every six-weeks and keeping the shades up in the auditorium. The all-school committees were chosen and functioned through the leadership of the Student Council. Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month.

True Blue Annual “Mrs. Gilbertson, have our glossy prints come yet?” asked the senior editors. “We sold twenty-five annuals this noon!” stated the business managers. “Does everyone have his pictures identified, cropped, and placed? Don’t forget our deadline is the fifteenth,” reminded Mrs. Gilbertson . “The club pages are all typed and ready to be proof-read,” announced the typists. “When we finish page fifty-seven, there will only be four pages left in forms seven and eight,” wearily sighed the co-editors. These were only a few of the comments heard as the staff of the 1961 True Blue Annual worked long and hard on the completion of the yearbook so that the students of Hudson High School would have a permanent record of their school year.

True Blue Times “Has each of you been assigned at least one article for the next issue? The assignment for Monday will be the editorial for the next issue.” These comments were often heard in the journalism room during the 8:12 period as the True Blue Times staff edited the school paper. The staff, composed of the True Blue Times Club and the journalism class, published the paper every other week. It was their job to scan the school for news no matter what difficulties had to be surmounted. The news items had to be interesting as well as newsworthy. The paper was edited by Tonita Tweet and Judith Engstrom under the guidance of Mrs. Gilbertson. The other editor for the True Blue Times was James Moen, Sports Editor. Janice Skalicky and Thomas Segerstrom headed the art section of the paper while Carol Ulman and Kathy Thompson took care of the publishing of the True Blue Times under the direction of Mr. Fegely.

Senior Girls’ Athletic Association To arouse an interest in sports, to promote a high standard of conduct for girls, and to promote all school activities are the aims of the Senior Girls’ Athletic Association.

COUTHERN Stardust + 61 All School Play Twenty-five students of Hudson High School staged William Davidson’s unpublished play, “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis”, under the sponsorship of the senior class, Thursday, December 1, at 8 p.m. in the small auditorium. In the three act comedy adapted from Max Schulman’s story of the same name, Dobie is a winsome, sympathy-eliciting little fellow who must constantly battle the big fellows in a never-ending, brains-over- brawn struggle for status, often thereby getting himself into some alarming predicaments. Dobie Gillis (Hugh and John Gwin), imaginative business manager of the school paper, aided by his girl assistant, Bonnie (Tonita Tweet), strives to run the paper which is headed by brawny but not-too- bright star athlete Petey Bellows (Allen Norelius), while competing with athlete Bellows for the attention of Helen Dixon (Kirsten Svare), the svelte daughter of PTA president Mrs. Dixon (Jane Hansen), and Mr. Dixon, the paper’s best patron, (Hewitt (Rusty) Clark). Putty in the hands of Helen, Dobie incurs the disapproval of Principal Harrington (James Moen), Professor Pipgrass (Gary Miller), and Instructor Forepaugh (Cheryl Ramsey), as well as that of Helen’s parents, for his misadventures in chemistry. At times it seems Dobie’s only friend is Imogene (Jean Moen), impish sub-teenage daughter of the paper’s publisher. Still trying to curry favor with Helen, Dobie commits his staff to a gigantic combination dance pro- motion-queen contest-subscription sales campaign only to wind up appropriating the paper’s funds. Dobie is rescued from his predicament by the least likely party of all, Happy Stella Kowalski and her Schottische Five (Geraldine Grass, Sandra Penman, Kaye Edin, Margaret (Mimi) Schmidt, and Evange- line Scott), who persuade Limbo Lamb, the movie star (Janice Skalicky) to appear at the dance after she was duped by Dobie. Record dance ticket sales, a change of heart on the part of Helen, and the loyalty of Imogene and Bonnie work together to restore Dobie to the good graces of the Dixons, the school officials, and Dobie’s father (Richard Souligny). Bonnie, the patient assistant, and Dobie are brought together. Ably assisting in the roles of receptionist Neuman and agent Adele were Darlene Anderson and Karen Perseiis. Cast as students were Mary Jill Cramer, Carmen Holden, Myrna Breault, and Cathy Mitchell. Student directors were Marjorie Peterson and Sharon Ulman. Co-chairmen of the make-up committee were Judith Engstrom and Mary Heywood. Charlotte Thomas was business manager. Prompters were Barbara Mayer and Barbara Waxon. Okay, girls, together now — a-one, a-two, a-three! Broadway, here we come! The “Gang”. The make-up committee did a grand job on Rich and Marzia, but they seem to have forgotten Janice! Our understanding (?) faculty. The long hours of rehearsal seem to have affected our directresses! Last minute tips from our pa- tient director, Mr. Johnson. Our prompters knew our parts better than we did! Dixon! The 1960 American Field Service Summer Exchange Studen to Italy, Sharon Norton, found that the Italians are genuinely happ people with a very deep affection for their friends. “Shari” arrived in Rome on June 19 on a boat which carrier 835 other foreign students to Europe. There she met the peopli she was to stay with in Rome, the Renato Capuccilli family. Mr Capuccilli is an insurance director for the National Insurance Com pany while his wife is a homemaker. Their son, Seanco, 24, ii studying architecture; and his sister Elge, 17, is studying to be ar interpreter. Their apartment is very large and modern and ha; balconies. “Shari’s” reaction toward Rome was, “It’s just like ; big fairy tale.” She found that the Italian people have a greater knowledge about such cultural ideas as art and music than Americans who are more interested in world problems. The Italian way of life is much less hectic than that of the Americans’. One of the highlights o “Shari’s” trip was an audience with the Pope in Rome. At the close of her summer abroad “Shari” went on a tour t Venice, Naples, Milan, Bologna, and Turin with other foreign stu dents. She returned home on September 23 with many wonderfu memories. SHARON NORTON Goodwill Ambassadors Marzia Volpones, Hudson’s American Field Service foreign student from Italy, arrived here on August 21 when she was wel- comed by her adopted family, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard G. Nordlund and their three children, Connie, Ruth, and Jimmy. “Marcy” has a very gifted family as her father is an eye specialist, her mother, a commercial teacher, and her grandmother, an obstetrician. She has two sisters, Daniela. 15, and Paola, 6, and a brother, Gian Battista ijohn in English), who is 9. Her home in Rimini, Italy, is a modern thirteen-room, two story building made of brick on the outskirts of the city. About 80,000 people inhabit the part of the city which lies near the sea where there are many hotels and nightclubs, but the older part of the city lies farther inland. Many of the monuments standing today were built by the Romans in the fifteenth century. Football, known as rugby in Italy, proved to be “Marcy’s” favorite sport, but she didn’t understand it very well. After attending another year of high school, “Marcy” plans to attend a medical university for six years where she will study to be a doctor. After those years, she must practice in a hospital for two years before becoming a doctor. “Marcy” would like very much to keep in contact with her American friends when she returns to Italy. Her address is Miss Marzia Volpones Via Milazzo 39 Rimini, Italy MARZIA VOLPONES 64 RAIDER FOOTBALL The “Raiders” opened their 1960 season after several weeks of hard practice with a spectacular non-conference victory over the Menomonie “Indians . The boys pave coaches Carver Fouks, Noel Schumacher, and Don Kadidlo a 26-6 victory with touchdowns by co-captain Bob Steiner, half-backs “Pete” Petersen and Steve Ostby, and end Dave Linehan. The hard-hitting “Raiders” drove home a victory over New Richmond in a rainy battle in which they racked up 13 points against six for the “Tigers”. Jim Beaudry plunged through to score the first touchdown while Steve Ostby converted. Bob Steiner scored a on the second half kick-off when he grabbed the ball on Hudson’s 20 J yard line and dashed 80 yards in a tremendous burst of speed. The next team to fall to the mighty Raiders was Baldwin. As a heavy rain fell, the “Raiders” received the kick-off and pounded their way to the “Blackhawk” one yard line where Steve Olson plunged through. The conversion attempt was blocked, and no more w scoring occurred in the first half. Co-captain Tom Segerstrom scored in the third period when he raced in. blocked an attempted punt, recovered the ball, and scampered over the goal. The game ended with an 18-0 victory for Hudson when Steve Olson scored on a 20 yard end run. Top the 'Toppers’ with De-Feet” is precisely what the “Raiders did in a 19-0 Homecoming victory dominated by the Hudson team.

Under this slogan came a week of fun and preparation for the stu- dents, with student chairman Geraldine Grass and faculty adviser Miss Swensen generally in charge of events. The various committees and classes worked earnestly to meet the deadlines of their projects. Thurs- day, September 29, produced results as the nighttime parade got under way. Homecoming Queen candi- dates Kathryn Gifford, Rena Hanley, Kathleen Riley, Janice Skalicky, and Tonita Tweet rode in the parade, along with the class floats, cheerleaders, and band. Also appearing in the parade were nine former Hudson Homecoming Queens. First prizes in the float competition went to the juniors for the best slogan illustration on their float, and the seniors for the float with the most workmanship. The parade led directly to Lakefront Park, where a blazing bonfire greeted the crowd. A speech by the coach, Mr. Fouks, and the enthusiasm of the band and cheerleaders added still more spirit to the spec- tators. This extra spirit helped create a car-caravan after the bonfire, as singing praises of the team spread through the streets. Friday, September 30, was the big day. The cheerleaders donned their new uniforms for the first time to get the pep fest off to a fresh start. Included in the fest were class skits, the presentation of the queen candidates, numbers by the chorus and band, speeches by the coaches and co-captains, and, of course, many, many cheers. First prize in the skits went to the juniors, while the seniors took second place. The success of the assembly carried over to the game that night with Glenwood City’s “Hilltoppers”. Minutes before the game, 1959 Homecoming Queen Meme Keyes presented the 1960 Queen Tonita Tweet, with the football to be used in the game. Queen “Tonie”, in turn, handed the ball to Co-captain Tom Segerstrom to get the game under way. Touchdowns for Hudson were made by Jim Beaudry, Steve Ostby, and Dave Linehan. An extra point kick gave the “Raiders” a 19-0 victory score to “Top the Toppers with ‘De-Feet’ ”. Homecoming festivities came to an end with a victory dance in the large gymnasium, where Co-captain Bob Steiner crowned the new queen in the coronation ceremonies. A band from River Falls College provided the music while the students danced, and Homecoming 1960 slowly faded into the past. Theme portrayal on winning junior float.

BADGER GIRLS’ STATE The American Legion Auxiliary annually sponsors Girls’ States in forty-eight states plus Washington D.C. and the Panama Canal Zone. The girls set up a mythical “state” which gives them a rare and wonderful experience. Charlotte Thomas was one of four hundred eleven high school juniors who partici- pated at Wisconsin’s Badger Girls’ State. Girls’ State exemplifies the two-party system. The major political parties are the Federalists and the Nationalists. The program is political only in that it touches the functions of political parties in our national life. The Hudson P.T.A. provided the expenses for the week at Madison. All the girls stayed in the newly built Chadbourne Hall on the Wisconsin University Campus. “I left Badger Girls’ State with the spirit of friend- liness, cooperation, sincerity, and a rewarding exper- ience,” Charlotte said. “I felt, as I know others have felt before me, the great inspiration it has given for the role ahead as a ‘better citizen of tomorrow’.” CHARLOTTE THOMAS BADGER BOYS’ STATE The purpose of Badger Boys’ State is to give its participants a better understanding of how our govern- ment works and the duties and problems of its elective officials. Thomas Segerstrom was chosen as Hudson’s representative at Badger Boys’ State in Ripon, Wis- consin. Tom’s stay at Ripon College was sponsored by the Hudson Parent Teachers’ Association. The Boys’ State participants were told, “You are the citizens of tomorrow. Boys’ State hopes to help you to prepare yourself to assume intelligently your future responsibility in the perpetuation of our Ameri- can freedoms through our Constitutional government, thus preserving our American ideal of extending maxi- mum opportunity to all citizens.” “After leaving Badger Boys’ State, I know a lot more about the government of our country, and how great it is to live in a democracy such as ours,” said Tom. “I feel that I have profited greatly by the things which I have learned at Badger Boys’ State. I only wish that everyone could have the opportunity to learn about our government as I did at Ripon.” THOMAS SEGERSTROM 84 Representative Senior The honor of being selected Hudson’s representative senior for 1961 goes to Marjorie Peterson, who has developed the many worthwhile characteristics which a high school graduate should possess. She has been a leader in school activities as shown by the fact that she was selected all school president in her senior year as well as class president in her freshman year. As a co-directress of the A.F.S. play and a member of the Future Teachers’ Association. Pep Club, Girls' Glee Club, and True Blue Staff, she has accepted responsibilities and challenges in a creditable manner. Marjorie has been an outstanding student and has shown mature judgment and common sense in making decisions. Because she has been a loyal supporter of the finest ideals of Hudson High School, the faculty is pleased to present the award to this friendly, democratic, dependable, industrious, and deserving student. MARJORIE PETERSON BARBARA WAXON D. A. R. AWARD The youth of today will lead our country tomorrow. Since 1935 the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution has sponsored the D.A.R. Good Citizenship Pilgrimage. Each year this organi- zation presents a $100 bond to one girl in the senior class. The award is given in recognition of the girl’s dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. To be named the recipient of the D.A.R. award is among the highest honors a senior girl can receive. Hudson High School has chosen Barbara Waxon as its outstanding citizen to be entered as a candidate in the 1961 contest. She submitted an essay on the topic: “For What Avail—If Freedom Fail’’. Barbara is active in choral groups, is a member of F.F.A., Commercial Club, band, and is a member of the True Blue Times staff. She was chosen vice-presi- dent of her 4-H group and is one of two students chosen for the 4-H band. Barbara has been a great asset to her community, school, and family. She has always been a cooperative, dependable, willing, industrious, thoughtful, friendly, and loyal student of Hudson High School. For these reasons, the faculty has chosen Barbara Waxon for the D.A.R. Good Citizen Award for 1961. 85 FORENSICS Greg and Evangeline Jennifer and Trudy The forensic participants of Hudson High School began concentrated work on the eight speech activities, under the direction of Miss Hughes. Mrs. Rolle. and Miss Scott, during February this year. A new division, public address, made its debut, while an old division, extemporaneous reading, made its exit. Other speech divi- sions included extemporaneous speaking, in- terpretative reading, declamation, non-origi- nal oratory, ten-minute original oratory, four- minute original oratory, and play reading. The writers of original selections found that choosing the topic was the first big hurdle, and the speakers of non-original pieces discovered that choosing the selection was the first hard task. After these prelimi- naries. the students and their coaches spent many hours writing, learning, and rehearsing the selections. But to everyone it was a lot of fun and excitement, even though much hard work highlighted the activities. Students who represented Hudson this year in the League Contest at River Falls on March 15 are as follows: public address. Gregory Brown. Kvangeline Scott; interpreta- tive reading. Kirsten Svare. Tonita Tweet; declamation. Richard Soulignv. Madelyn Bunce: extem| oraneous speaking. Jane Han- sen. John Gwin; non-original oratory. Sharon Norton. Lynn Spalding; ten-minute original oratory. Trudy Fatheree. Jennifer Starr: four- minute original oratory. Anna I ?e Lomnes. Charlotte Thomas; play reading. Marjorie Peterson. Ruth Nordlund. Sandra Anderson. Hugh Gwin. and Clarence Holden. Students from New Richmond. River Falls, and Hudson competed in the League Contest and those who received “A’s” entered the District Contest which was held at the Wis- consin State College at River Falls. Those who were eligible entered the State Contest at the University of Wisconsin at Madison in April. Since all contests were held after the last True Blue deadline, the results could not be published. In 1960 Hudson received twelve “A’s” in the League Contest and seven “A’s” in the District Contest.
