There have been some failures or disappointments I am sure. It would be unusual if we could always achieve our goals fully. The important thing is that we have well defined goals and that we do our best to achieve these goals. We are living in a fast moving age. Often this leads to confusion and a sense of help- lessness for many. We need, therefore, a greater effort on the part of all of us to understand and practice fundamental concepts of freedom, integrity, morality, and industry. Nowhere in the course of history can we find the equivalent advantages of citizenship in the United States of America. This land has offered the ultimate in advantages to the indus- trious, ambitious, and righteous. Opportunities can only be consummated by courage, industry, and thrift. Edward P. Rock Superintendent 6 “TfOi. 0f¥eitiufy A look toward the future tells us that it promises to be even more revolutionary than the past, and will be filled with new machines and devices that were undreamed of a few years ago. Wonderful as these contributions are, we must still take time to consider what is good, what is true, what is beautiful, and it is a privilege of our society that every citizen should make his own inquiry.

The first one was getting adjusted to new classroom situations, teachers, and classmates. We remember those first, shaky few weeks when we became the freshman class of H. H. S. It wasn’t until after the Fresh- man-Senior Party that we felt a real sense of belonging. With the guidance of Mr. Cassutt and the leadership of Wendell Petersen. Sandra Stendahl. Mary DePolis and Diane Trapp, Eugene Kidd, and Donald Gilbert we learned to work together as we created our first Homecoming float and worked on our first skit. Growing up a little more, we felt a sad fraternity at the loss of one of our class members. We had crossed the bridge of belonging; and feeling more secure as sophomores, we won second prize with our Homecoming float. We then went on to present our first annual “Hillbilly Hop” as a class dance to raise money. All this we accomplished under the leadership of Allen Nor- elius, Ruth Nordlund, Diane Trapp. Karen Perseiis, Paul Grass, and Mr. Cassutt, adviser. Confident upperclassmen, we undertook many projects successfully in our junior year. Both our Homecoming float and our Homecoming skit won first prizes. To raise money, the girls held a bake sale and the boys, a car wash. Pride in our school and our class was displayed in the form of junior class rings that arrived in December. Our second annual “Hillbilly Hop” bounced high in popularity with all the students at H. H. S. The long-awaited Junior-Senior Prom was one of the most important bridges to under- standing that we crossed during our high school years, for through working together to make it a success, we were drawn closer together as a class. From such things as crepe paper, fish nets, old row boats, and a plastic swimming pool we fashioned our eerie “Sleepy Lagoon.” As an addition to the prom we held a banquet to honor the seniors. In these projects we were advised by both Mr. Cassutt and Miss Swenson, and led by Donald Gilbert, Sandra Stendahl, Ann Heiting, Karen Perseiis, and Hugh Gwin. As seniors we were certain of our potential, not only as a class, but as individuals. Donald Gilbert, president; Clarence Holden, vice-president; Jolene Anderson, secretary; Wendell Petersen, treasurer; and Margaret Schmidt, Student Council representative, conducted us through this year with the help of Mr. Cassutt and Miss Swenson. For Homecoming our “swan” float carried last year’s queen, and our skit won first prize, along with the slogan, to capture for us the rotating trophy. We presented the play “Seventeenth Summer,” which was a huge success. As a farewell we offered our third annual “Hillbilly Hop.” It seemed as though we were still the rollicking young freshmen who had stared in awe at the demigod seniors back in 1958 . . . but we were seniors now. In no time at all we were being measured for our caps and gowns and deciding upon announcements. We had crossed bridges to belonging, understanding, fellowship, and leadership in our high school years, and many of us set the pace for further goals to be attained, new heights to conquer. At last came the day that will always shine brightly in our memories. As the strains of “Pomp and Circumstance” filled the air, we marched proudly down the aisle, to end one happy phase of our lives and to go on to bigger and better things. In Memoriam To a classmate and friend who is no longer with us—the space dedicated here is small compared to the space we have saved for him in our hearts. Gary Duane King Son of Mr. and Mrs. Bruce King, Sr. A beloved member of the class of 1962 Born September 1, 1944 Died May 6, 1959 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Research themes involve detailed study, Clarinets blew up a storm during “Victory at Sea.” These sophomores seem to be enjoying biology. “The farmer threw the cow over the fence some hay” isn’t correct, is it, class? Advanced math requires rapt concentration. Toothpick construction is truly an art. Graphing parabolic curves is really simple. Everyone seems pleased with the results. Time to hand in your assignments, students. Come, class, why so sober? No, Rex, Beowulf wasn’t a char- acter in a horror movie. All together now, one-two-three! 36 Attentive U. S. history students see the “handwriting on the wall.” Solving chemistry equations is no prob- lem for this class.

Se tc n Sand Sounds of music echoed through the halls of Hudson High School every day during the 1961-62 school year. And who was responsible for this? ... the band and choral departments of Hudson High. The Senior Band, numbering 70 pieces, added to the gaiety and spirit of school activities, making its first appearance at intermission on Homecoming night, October 26, despite a rain-gullied footb ill field. On October 31, they played in the annual Halloween Parade. The Christmas Concert, presented on December 10, and the Mid-winter Concert held on February 8, remained the highlights of the frosty season. On March 28 and 29 the band was once again honored with the presence of Don Craig, director of music at Ithaca College, Ithaca, New York; and Paul Yoder, a noted musical composer, arranger, and director, who at this time made his first appearance in Hudson. Together they exhibited a very impres- sive performance with both the band and the chorus. The year just wouldn’t have been the same without the annual Pop Concert. It was presented in all its splendor, color, and excitement on May 12. Playing for commencement ceremonies and marching in the Memorial Day Parade completed the school year of instrumental music at Hudson High. On June 8 the band boarded two Greyhound buses bound for Port Arthur and Fort Williams, Canada, as this was the year for their long-awaited trip. This was a trip that the students will never forget . . . thanks to Mr. McMillan and the Band Parents, who helped make this trip possible. The band officers were the following: Clarence Holden, president; Ruth Nordlund, vice-president; Jean Moen, secretary; Jolene Anderson and Diane Trapp, librarians; and Peter Van Putten, Gary Tweet, and Peter McMillan, student managers.

Purposes for which the organization was formed are to develop competent, aggressive, rural, and agricultural leadership; to create and nurture a love of country life; to strengthen the confidence of farm boys and young men in themselves and their work; to create more interest in the intelligent choice of farming occupations; to encourage members in the development of individual farming programs and establishment in farming; to encourage members to improve the farm home and its surroundings; to participate in worthy under- takings for the improvement of agriculture; to develop character, train for useful citizenship and foster patriot- ism; to participate in cooperative effort; to encourage and practice thrift; to encourage improvement in scholarship; to provide and encourage the development of organized rural recreational activities. The local organization has many activities, including planting and maintaining the FFA Agricultural Ex- perimental Plot of land east of Hudson on highway UU. Many members exhibit livestock at the St. Croix County Fair, the Eau Claire Livestock Exposition, the Wisconsin State Fair, and other local shows. Robert Jacobs and Paul Atwood exhibited livestock at the Eau Claire livestock show, and Paul Atwood’s beef, Grand Champion of the show, sold for $1,333.86. Those exhibiting livestock at the county fair were Paul Atwood, Robert Jacobs, John Linehan, Charles Garbe, Paul Wilcoxson, Paul Grass, John Gies, and Phillip Trudell. Other projects included entering judging teams at the Eau Claire Livestock Exposition, the River Falls Hog Show, and the River Falls College judging contest. Each spring an annual Parent-Son banquet is held. Sale of light bulbs, pop, candy, and other material is held to encourage thrift and savings among chapter members. This money pays for activity expenses. The F.F.A. organization owns a weed sprayer which it lends to farmers for field crop spraying to improve production. It also owns a hand sprayer for the control of dandelions. 57 Fourth Row: Cheryl Anderson. Marlys Johnson. Margaret Schmidt. Jennifer Starr, Trudy Fatheree, Joan Hoessler. Karen Anderson.

These students had the tasks of crop- ping and identifying pictures, writing stories and articles, and organizing and arranging the pages for the yearbook. As each deadline drew near, the pages were checked and rechecked; and the articles proof read. Under the direction of Mrs. Gilbertson, staff adviser, Karen Perseiis and Jean Moen, co-edi- tors, and Ann Heiting and Margaret Schmidt, senior business managers, the work for the annual got under way. Many contributions were made by Lynn Spalding and Anna Lee Lomnes, junior editors, and Bonita Gilbert and Madelyn Bunce, junior business managers. Other members of the staff included Margaret Beeson, Ruth Nordlund, Sandra Senechal, Diane Trapp, Wendy Wiggins, senior editors; Karen Fyksen, Juliette Kirchoff, sophomore editors; Linda Bailey, Catherine Petersen, freshmen editors.

Stue 'limed Every other week during the school year 1961-62, the True Blue Times was published, and students eagerly anticipated reading their favorite columns. The newspaper provided a means of getting the latest news to the entire school, through contributions such as editorials, senior profiles, sports highlights, the “Did You Hear?” column, and the “Club Comer.” Frustrated journalism students rushed around the halls, trailing new practice teachers, newsworthy students, and other subjects of interest at Hudson High School. The importance of meeting deadlines was stressed, for stories had to be turned in, typed, set up on dummy sheets, typed on stencils, proofread, and run off on the press for publication. Members of the newspaper staff included John Gwin and Sandra Stendahl, editors; Wendy Wiggins and Karen Perseiis, artists; Madelyn Bunce, filler; Susan Krager, exchange editor; Kathleen Randall, business man- ager; Hugh Gwin, sports editor; and Allen Norelius, publisher.

Under the direction of Miss Margaret Dorwin and Ernest McMillan, students and adults joined together in song. The program opened with “Gloria! Gloria!” This was followed by the Senior Band’s presentation of “Quiet Christmas,” the ever popular “Greensleeves,” and “An Old English Christmas,” in which “The Friendly Beasts,” “Coventry Carol,” and “The Twelve Days of Christmas” were presented. The Mixed Chorus, Boys’ and Girls’ Glee clubs, and Junior High Chorus processed into the gym to the strains of “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing” and “O Come, All Ye Faithful.” The Junior High began its singing with the “Christmas Hymn” and “Hasten Swiftly, Hasten Softly.” The voices of the Boys’ Glee Club joined together in singing “We Wish You A Merry Christmas,” “Rise Up Early,” and “O Come to the Stable.” Rusty Clark sang a solo in “Birthday of a King.” The boys were followed by the Girls’ Glee Club, who added a solemn touch in its songs of “I Wonder As I Wander,” the solo by Diane Trapp, “In Dulci Jubilo,” “Coventry Carol,” and ending with the inspiring old hymn “Glory to God.” The vocal ensembles sang their contributions in the cozy setting of a family home. While trimming the tree, reading stories, wrapping presents, and preparing for the holidays, the Boys’ Octet sang “Lo! How a Rose E’er Blooming;” the Girls’ Triple Trio sang “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas;” the Girls’ Octet, “A Joyous Christmas Song;” the Girls’ Sextet, “O Holy Night;” and a second Girls’ Triple Trio sang “As Lately We Watched,” with the solo being sung by Catherine Petersen. It was topped off by nine jolly Santas, in the form of the Boys’ Triple Trio, entering the stage singing “Jingle Bells.” The Mixed Chorus then sang four selections, “Patapan,” “The Holly and the Ivy,” “Christmas Symbol,” and “From Heaven Above.” All alumni were invited to join in the singing of the “Hallelujah Chorus.” Throughout the program the lighting added an elegant touch. But in the recessional by the Mixed Chorus singing the favorite of all hymns, “Silent Night,” it was awe-inspiring, as the lights slowly dimmed to darkness, and the stage curtains opened to reveal the beautiful manger scene. Strains of “Silent Night” echoed from the lobby as the audience gazed on the impressive scene. Seventeenth Suntmen Senior Class Play Here I am seventeen years old, and I’ve never had a date. Why?” This is the plight of pretty Angie Morrow (Kathryn Brown) at the beginning of her “Seventeenth Summer”. The senior class presented “Seventeenth Summer” on Decem- ber 14, 1961, under the direction of Frederic Johnson and student directors Karen Perseiis and Margaret Beeson. The three-act play, a heartwarming comedy adapted by Anne Coulter Martens from the novel by Maureen Daly, was well-received by a capacity crowd in the Lee Auditorium. As the story begins, Angie’s parents (Kathlyn Sandeen and Hewitt Clark) haven’t realized that she has become a young lady. Margaret (Jolene Anderson), Angie’s older sister, understands her problems and explains how easy it is to talk to boys. Angie then meets Jack Duluth (Stephen Ostby), the best basketball player in the county, and finds she likes him. When Jack asks Angie to a carnival, it takes all she can do to convince her mother, with the help of her sisters, that she is old enough to go. Mr. Morrow, who planned to take his “five” girls to the carnival, suddenly finds himself minus three dates. Margaret must hurry to meet her fiance, Art (Bruce Rossing); Lorraine (Jennifer Jensen) has a blind date with Martin Keefe (Terence Jones), a sophisticated city man; and Angie is on her first date. Poor Mr. Morrow! Only Kitty (Georgia Mullen), the irrepressible little ten-year-old daughter, is left to take to the carnival. As June turns into July, Jane (Ellen Lahl), Jack’s old girl- friend, decides she wants him back, and tells Margie (Nancy Olson), who dates Fitz (Jean Gallien), she’s not the only one who can hold a man. Trouble arises when Margie spreads rumors around town about Angie’s getting a ride home with Tony (Clarence Holden), a rather kind-hearted wolf. The fall dance at the country club brings a more mature outlook for Angie. College and separation versus Jack’s proposal of elopement results in a greater realization of important values. As the curtain closes, they have accepted their separation with the new insight that it need not be the ending, and could be the beginning of love. The business manager was Jean Moen. Beverely Nord and Diane Trapp were the co-chairmen of the make-up committee. Stage hands were James Dobson and Gerald Swedish. Judith Epley and Kathleen Thompson acted as prompters. Last-minute cramming. 64 The cast practiced long and hard. “Where did I leave that hammer?” ‘Any baked goods today?' The audience enjoyed Jean Gallien's piano playing between acts. 66 67 U Z o Hudson’s hallowed halls. Another lecture. I D Hurry, Phil.

The “Raiders” fell before a spirited River Falls team for the only defeat of the season in a game which virtually decided the conference title. The Hudson team couldn’t get a start and was behind 13-0 at the half. The Raiders” came back fighting in the second half. Jim Menter raced 28 yards in the fourth period for a touchdown, and the “Raider” lads threatened, until a fumble stopped the drive.

Because the local teachers attended the Northwestern Wis- consin Teachers Association meeting on Friday, Thursday was chosen for the event. The bonfire could not fit into this year’s schedule, but rousing spirit and pep were exhibited by the student body as the pep fest got under way on Thursday afternoon at 3:00 p.m. in the Oak Street gymnasium. Class skits, cheers, school songs, pep talks by Mr. Fouks. Mr. Schu- macher. and co-captains Dave Linehan and Don Gilbert were presented. The highlight was the appearance of this year’s five queen candidates: Jolene Anderson. Kathy Brown, Ellen Lahl, Georgia Mullen, and Sandy Stendahl.

At 7:45, after sus- pense-filled moments, Toni Tweet crowned Jolene Anderson as the new Homecoming Queen for 1961. amidst shouts of approval. At 8:00 the game got underway and although it was difficult to tell which team was which after a few minutes of play on the muddy field. Hudson pulled through with 18-0 victory.

Music was supplied by the Continentals from the Wisconsin State College at River Falls. At 11:00 the coronation of Homecoming Queen Jolene Anderson took place. At midnight, with the ending of the dance, Homecoming 1961 was the thing of the past.

Denny Benoy, Ken Kaiser, Bob Jacobs, Jim Menter, Dave Olson, Bob Melton, Dan Anderson, and Peter McMillan rounded out the squad of thirteen boys that were a pre-season pick for no better than a third place finish. The “Raiders” won their season opener by beating St. Croix Falls 60-51. In the first conference game of the season they walked over their arch-rivals. River Falls, 59-42. The cagers then journeyed to Colfax and handed the “Vikings” a 64-51 loss. Glenwood City was the next opponent, as they were downed by a score of 59-46. The “Raiders” continued their win- ning ways by defeating the pre-season pick favorites, Baldwin-Woodville, 71-60. Hudson tipped Ellsworth in their next encounter 47-40. Then the squad won their second non-conference victory by turning back Menomonie 66-49. The team finished the first half of the season by edging Spring Valley 60-49, and New Richmond 54-45. In the Spring Valley game Dave Linehan broke his brother Don’s scoring record by 3 points by scoring 37 points. After the vacation period, the “Raiders” started out where they left off by beating River Falls in a close one, 52-50. The team then found Glenwood City’s floor hard to adjust to, but squeaked out another victory 41-39. The boys looked better in the next two weeks by downing Baldwin-Woodville 57-51, and trouncing Colfax 79-47. The next night Hudson edged by a band of determined Menom- onie “Indians” 57-55. In running over Ellsworth the next week, 82-55, A1 Kohl came within one point of tying the school scoring record by netting 36 points. The “Raiders” rounded out a perfect season in the next two weeks by defeating Spring Valley 57-55, and New Richmond 61-55. With a record of 17 victories and 0 losses, the “Raiders” copped the Conference Championship and finished as the eighth ranked team in the state. The 1919-1920 team was the only other Hudson team to complete a season without any defeats. 77 “Den” Benoy 6’ 1” Ready with the assist.

TiucCc catccC 196? -62 Su - 7 wutcutte tt Entering sub-regional play at Glen- wood City, Hudson was ranked as the favorite to win, but fans were re- minded that Hudson was often a bridesmaid, but never a bride. The tournament paper called the rank of favorite the “kiss of death.” After a first night bye, the “Raiders” tangled with a tough Baldwin-Woodville team. Fans in the cheering section, remem- bering how they’d been outyelled by Baldwin two years before, kept up a steady roar. They couldn’t be outdone . . . and neither could the “Raiders.” They pulled through in fine style to win 72-63. They met River Falls the following night, and it looked like the old rivals would again have a close-fought duel. However, the boys just couldn’t be beaten. When they’d reached a size- able lead, aided by Kay’s fouling out in the second half, the “Raiders” put in substitutes. The subs held their own, to make the score 74-54 and qualify to enter regional play against Durand at Menomonie. eyitotaC 07ou%ncupte it A packed house saw the “Raiders” avenge last year’s defeat at the hands of Durand by winning 62-58. Paul Kramer led the team to victory as he grabbed three offensive and sixteen defensive rebounds. It was the first time in twenty-five years that Hudson had won the regional tournament. This win plunged them into sectional play against the Nekoosa “Papermakers” at Eau Claire. Sectioned The “Raiders” showed their strength the first night by defeating Nekoosa 89-57. This brought Hudson into the championship game. pitting them against the second - ranked team in the state. Eau Claire. A fighting crew of “Raiders” was led by the 46-point scoring effort of Dave Linehan. which broke the record on the Eau Claire College floor. The boys managed to stay with the “Old Abes” but couldn’t quite come out with a victory, as they were defeated 75-69. Second How: Carl Strom. Michael Mayer, John Everson.

It appears that the members of this year’s squad should be a big help to the “A” squad. With A1 Stendahl leading the team, the Bees had a lot of poise and came through in the clutch. The leading scorers for this year’s team were A1 Stendahl. 131 points; Jon Graham. 114; Tom Edin, 107; Mike Mayer, 103; Butch Silvernale, 82; and Bill Burke, who had 58 points.

In this game A1 Stendahl had 12 points, while Tom Edin and Jon Graham each scored 11. In the second non-conference game, the Raiders defeated the Menomonie Indians 40-32. The Raiders had balancer! scoring as Stendahl scored 9, Burke 8, and Edin and Graham both scored 7. The game was played at home. In their first out-of-town game the Hudson team played a game which was more like football than basketball with the Spring Valley Cardinals. In this scrap, which the Bees won 28-22. A1 Stendahl had 11 points. Hudson next traveled to New Richmond where the boys defeated the New Richmond “Tigers.” Led by Jon Graham with 13, the Bees won 41-28. I ed by A1 Stendahl and Tom Edin. who scored 11 and 10 points respectively, the Bees squeezed by the Wildcats 40-37. With the subs playing in the last quarter, the Wildcats almost overtook the Bees.

Hudson’s wrestling squad had its best season this year of the four short years the sport has been in the high school. The high- light of this season was the sending of 180-pounder, Ken Trudell, to the state meet at Madison. February 23 and 24. The Raider squad finished the conference with a 3-2 record and an overall record of 3-4. The wins came from Colfax (30-13), Baldwin-Woodville (42-10), and Glenwood City (29-14). The Hudson grapplers lost to New Richmond (35-10), St. Paul Park (32-15), Osceola (32-12), and Ellsworth (36-5). The squad, coached by Don Kadidlo, was plagued with slow- ness throughout the year, although they did improve greatly. The Raiders tied for fourth place at the River Falls Invitational on January 20. Elmer Gillstrom (103 ) placed fourth, Gary Knefelkamp (138 ) took second, Ken Trudell (180 ) ended third, and Bruce Anderson was champion in the heavyweight division. Advancing to the Middle Border Conference Wrestling meet at Ellsworth on February 3. the Hudson mat men finished third. Jim Deal (95 ) placed third; Elmer Gillstrom (103 ) took fourth; Bob Wagner (112 ) ended second; Rudy Blakeman (120 ) wrestled his way to fourth, and Bob Miller (127 ) ranked third. Dave Guggemos (133 ) took a fourth place; Gary Knefelkamp (138 ) fought his way up to second; Daryl Daniels (154 ) finished fourth; Brian Hayes (165 ) placed fourth; Ken Trudell (180 ) was the champion; and Bruce Anderson (HWT) ended third. Hudson placed seventh at the regional tournament held at Glenwood City on February 9 and 10. Ken Trudell was again champion in his 180-pound division. No other Raider grapplers qualified for the sectional tourney. Ken scored a decision and a pin to be sectional champ and qualify for the state meet. Travel- ing to Madison on February 22 for the two-day meet, Ken. who has been wrestling only two years, was pinned in the preliminary matches. Co-captains Bruce Anderson and Ken Trudell did a fine job of leading this year’s wrestling Raiders. Prospects for next year look good as wrestling is the coming sport throughout the state. This year at least 170 schools par- ticipated in wrestling, an increase of 15 per cent over last year. As a sport, wrestling is here to stay, and most Middle Border Conference schools have it. The fact that Lee Gross, from Ells- worth, was a state champion this year is an indication that this area has strength in wrestling. In its first four years at Hudson, wrestling has created public interest as a sport and student par- ticipation as a good, healthful activity. Most of the senior letter- men have been wrestling since they were freshmen. They have made wrestling a successful sport in those four years, and it now has a bright future to look forward to with each succeeding season.

The track squad lost much valuable training time due to the bad weather. Forced to remain inside for most of the season, the cindermen were hindered when they did get outside by lack of facilities and ineligibility. This late start hurt them throughout the season. In a dual meet with Stillwater on April 18 at the Ponies’ field, the Raider squad lost to a stronger, more experienced team. Traveling to River Falls for the Invitational on April 28, the Raiders failed to place among the twenty schools participating. A1 Kohl placed second in the high jump; Gene Kidd took third in the pole vault; and the mile medley of Gary Bertelsen. Don Scholl. A1 Kohl, and Bob Miller captured fifth place. The annual Little Olympics meet was taken over by Stout State College this year, as it was getting too big for the high school to handle. The Raiders captured seventh place against the twenty teams in the meet, mostly from “A” class schools. Gene Kidd shower! his true potential in the pole vault by tying for first place at 11’ 4”, breaking the 11’ record set by Hudson’s Wayne Couch the previous year. A1 Kohl tied for second place in the high jump at 5’ 9”, and Jim Beaudry took fourth in the discus. Showing poorly in the Middle Border Conference meet at River Falls on May 16, the Raiders placed fifth. AI Kohl won the high jump, and Gene Kidd broke the pole vault record when he again tied for first place at 11’ 4”. Gary Bertelsen placed third in the 440; Jim Penman took second in the mile; and Larry Annis came in third in the half mile. Only two boys qualified for the State Meet at the Sectional Meet on May 18 at River Falls. Al Kohl won the high jump, and Gary Bertelsen placed second in the broad jump. Going to the State Meet at Hartford on May 27. Al placed fifth with a jump of 5’ 9”, and Gary didn’t place. The year wasn’t very successful in view of the prospects at the beginning of the track season, but the 1962 prospects looked much better. 85 Third Row: Mr. Cassutt, coach, Dennis Neubarth, Robert Melton, James Dobson, Paul Kramer, James Bryce, David Olson, Ralph (Bruce) Anderson, Roderick Ebben.

An enthusiastic group of boys greeted Coach Florian Cassutt for the first practice in the latter part of March. Until weather permitted, practice was held in the gymnasium. By mid-April the program was in full swing at the Burton Athletic Field. The boys opened their season at Ellsworth where they were turned back by a more experienced Ellsworth club 9 to 8. The team’s hitting was quite satisfactory, led by Bob Steiner and Rod Ebben, but the pitching needed some improvement. The Raiders next traveled to New Richmond and edged by the Tigers 6 to 5. The boys continued to hit well and also received some fine pitching from David Swanson. The team showed real potential, much to the surprise of New Richmond. The students and Hudson residents had their first opportunity to see the Raiders when they entertained Osceola at Burton Field. Although they were beaten, they proved that they liked to play ball and could play ball. Osceola had a fine team with good size and proved to be more than the Raiders could handle, as they beat them 5 to 2. Next the team went to Elmwood to take on the Menomonie Indians in the Sub-Regional Tournament. Des- pite a late surge in the final innings, the boys fell short 9 to 5. Once again it was the lack of pitching strength that hindered the club. The Raiders ended the season with a 1 and 3 record, whereas, with a little luck, it could have been 3 and 1. With most of the team back next year, baseball looks as though it has a good future at Hudson High. With a year of experience behind them they could be ready to start conference play next year. They will be competing with Colfax, Ellsworth, New Richmond, Glenwood City, and Spring Valley. It looks as though baseball should be here to stay for awhile. 86 Jolene, Butch, and Kaye Anna Lee and Trudy Lynn and Greg Herbert and Maddy After much indecision and turmoil, the 1962 Spring Forensics League Contest for Hudson and River Falls was held at Hudson on March 15. Under the direction of Miss Hughes, Miss Scott, and Mrs. Rolle, twenty students began preparing for the event during February. Many hard hours were spent finding, writing, cutting, memorizing, and delivering speeches. The ambition of everyone was to go to the State Contest at Madison. In order to do this the participant received an “A at the league Contest, which was held in Hudson, and an ‘’A ’ at the District Contest, which was held at the Wisconsin State College. River Falls, Wisconsin. Those who received “A” ratings were eligible to go to Madison. This year, however, there was a question as to whether or not the River Falls and Hudson speakers would be accepted at the District because of the late date of the league Contest. This year’s divisions were original oratory, non-original oratory, declamation, play reading, poetry reading, extemporaneous speaking, public speaking, which dealt with U.S. foreign policy, and prose reading. Prose reading was a new category this year, in which the speaker prepared and read an 8-minute non-original story. John and Allen John and Terry It was hard work, but a lot of fun, too. This year’s entries were as follows: original oratory (8 minute), Jennifer Starr and Margaret Vye; original oratory (4 minute), Anna Lee Ix mnes and Trudy Fatheree; non-original oratory, Judith Vier and Marshall Simpson: declamation, Madelyn Bunce and Herbert Carmichael; prose read- ing, Allen Norelius and John Rorvick; poetry reading, Janet Soule and Rita Daniels; public speaking, Gregory Brown and Lynn Spald- ing; extemporaneous speaking, John Gwin and Terence Jones; play reading. Clarence Holden, Catherine Petersen. Jolene Anderson, and Kaye Edin. Peggy and Jennifer. Mrs. Rolle, Miss Scott, and Miss Hughes Jean Claude Gallien is the eighteen-year-old Ameri- can Field Service representative at our high school this year. Jean is from Lyon, France, the third largest city in France. Most of the homes in Lyon, like most of those in France, are huge apartment houses. Jerry Swedish, his sister, and his parents have adopted Jean as their “son-for-the-year”. Jean came to Hudson on August 22, and he will leave Hudson about June 28. Before he leaves the states, Jean will join some of the other foreign students, and they will tour the United States until their departure from New York in late July. Jean, a Catholic, says the church in America is much like that in France, inasmuch as the masses are both spoken in Latin, and the Protestant services are spoken in the native tongue. “The American people are the nicest in the world,” said Jean when asked his impression of the people in the United States. We hope Jean has enjoyed his year at Hudson High School as much as the students and teachers here have enjoyed having him as a guest and goodwill ambassador in our community. JEAN CLAUDE GALLIEN fweitcavt ?ield Service Hugh Gwin was our community’s and high school’s American Field Service representative abroad this sum- mer. Hugh spent eighty colorful and glorious days of his summer vacation in Meppel, Netherlands, and visit- ed other cities in Europe. Hugh was the “son” of Mr. and Mrs. Johannes Luyten. His “father” was a tax adjuster for the govern- ment of the Netherlands, and this position is one of quite a high rank in Dutch government. Hugh’s “brother”, Dirk, was graduated from high school about a week after Hugh reached his new home. To show the misleading impressions that American citizens give of themselves to others, Hugh told how he had to assure the family that the average American family does not have a color television, a modem home, and two or three cars. The impression Hugh got of the Netherlands was that much of the country is socialized, and that politics and religion are intermingled, while Communistic in- fluence is very much present. Hugh enjoyed the Netherlands and its people and should very much like to return there sometime in the future. HUGH GWIN 88 Jean Moen State The American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Wis- consin, and the University of Wisconsin Extension Divi- sion co-sponsored the eighteenth session of Badger Girls’ State held at the University in Madison June 11-17, 1961. Our high school and community were represented at Girls’ State by Jean Moen, who was sent by the local American Legion Auxiliary. Jean and four hundred thirty other students set up a mythical state, which ex- emplified the bipartisan system. Although the program of Girls’ State is not political in its functions, the two parties, the Nationalists and the Federalists, help the girls become better prepared for their responsibilities as good citizens. The girls developed a spirit of friendliness, responsibility, cooperation, and cheerfulness. The girls attended lectures on citizenship and state, county, and city governments. After enthusiastic cam- paigns, executive officials were elected, and various phases of our government began to function. The girls also had the pleasure of touring the Capitol and listening to Gov- ernor Gaylord Nelson. Clarence Holden At Ripon, Wisconsin, during the week of June 10-17, 1961, Clarence Holden represented Hudson at the twen- tieth session of Badger Boys’ State. The purpose of this program is to educate the youth of today and the citizens of tomorrow in the rights, responsibilities, duties, and privileges of being a citizen of the United States. During their stay at Ripon, eight hundred twenty-six boys participated in this citizenship-training program. A typical day included listening to lectures, attending party conventions and caucuses, and practicing the obli- gations and the duties of government officials. The American Legion annually sponsors Badger Boys’ State for young gentlemen between the ages of sixteen and eighteen. Our Hudson chapter of the Parent Teach- ers’ Association paid Clarence’s expenses for the week. While at Boys’ State, Clarence held the office of city clerk, for which he kept records of the council meetings. He also acted as secretary to the counselor assigned to his city and was a delegate to both the county and state conventions. ‘Bactyen, State 89 efireaentative Senior Possessing the many qualities which the title of repre- sentative senior implies, Karen Perseiis has the honor of being chosen Hudson High School’s representative senior for 1962. Scholastically Karen has been an outstanding student, and she has contributed in many other ways to Hudson High. She was a very enthusiastic, capable, re- sponsible, and hardworking co-editor of the True Blue annual as well as a valuable member of the school news- paper. Karen served as a class officer in her sophomore and junior years and has given a good account of herself in the following groups: Girls’ Athletic Association, Fu- ture Teachers’ Association, Pep Club, Home Economics Club, and Speech Club. This year she was one of the Hudson Rotary’s representatives to Muna at Winnipeg, Canada. Karen is a well adjusted girl and is a credit to her family, church, school, and community. The faculty is pleased to present this award to Karen Perseiis, who has been a loyal supporter of the finest ideals of the student body of Hudson High School. KAREN PERSELLS The youth of today are our country’s hope for future strength and progressiveness. A good citizen must pos- sess 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, Jean Moen, is Hudson High School’s candidate for the 1962 state contest. Jean has been a capable and dependable member of school clubs, G.A.A., in choral groups, debate, class and A.F.S. plays, F.T.A., Student Council, and Annual Staff. Jean 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 Citizen- ship Award of 1962 to Jean Moen.

The Junior Girls' Athletic Association is an organization for eighth and ninth grade girls who are interested in sports. Members of the ninth grade may participate in Senior G.A.A. sports after school to earn points toward awards. Junior G.A.A. promotes good sportmanship and sets up a better understanding of athletics. The girls earned money by selling hotdogs and coffee at the Homecoming game and the Ellsworth game. Initiation for new members was held on December 11, 1961, from five to eight p.m. New members furnished a box lunch for themselves and their initiators. Other activities for the group include the annual Football and Basketball Dance honoring the Junior High football and basketball players, and the Spring Dance. This year’s officers are president, Margaret Meeker; vice president, Patricia Swanson; secretary - treasurer, Sandra Lamberta; and point secretary, Nancy Vier. Miss Hughes is the adviser.
