In the years that you have been in school you have been preparing yourself to meet the requirements for high school graduation. Al- though you have now reached that goal, your continued preparation for life must go on if you are to live happily and meet success- fully the many challenges that you know to be forthcoming in your future. And what is Commencement but the beginning of a new era for you? What is Commencement but the green light at the entrance to a new street? In the future there will be many doors open to each of you. The knob on these doors will always be on your side. You must do the opening. Best Wishes to each of you. A. B. OGLAND, SUPERINTENDENT 5 MM Mr. Heiting It is often said that where you are going is much more important than where you are or have been. Planning your high school pro- gram is important, but what you will do after graduation is much more important. Seniors have had several years of opportunities which include good teaching, educational materials, libraries, and guidance to aid them planning for their future. If each student makes use of available facilities and participates in the broad of- ferings of extra-curricular ac- tivities, he is headed in the right direction. This year we have seen leader- ship blossom in a variety of ac- tivities. The leadership has been impressive to the entire student body. Because of proper leader- ship, we have had success in academic achievement, in ath- letics, in dramatics, in forensics, in publications, and club activities. Thus the high school years are very important for every young person, for it is here that a life often takes its set, as vocations are chosen and aspirations are developed. Mr. Smith Best wishes to the graduating class of 1967. It is our desire to have you progress to the next level in your education, well pre- pared to meet the needs of an ever-changing society. Whether you are among those who will continue their formal education or those who will continue to learn while at work, the type of background you have developed at Hudson may determine your success in the future. 7 Mr. Ogland, Mr. Kelly, Dr. Tweet, Mr. Fetzner, Dr. Bryce, Mr. Ostby. Board Of Education The Board of Education, composed of five members, is the chief administrative body of the Hudson Commun- ity School system. Planning and adopting a budget, estab- lishing policies of the school, and hiring faculty members are among the many duties of the Board. The True Blue annual staff on behalf of the student body ex- presses its gratitude and ap- preciation to David Kelly, president; James Ostby, clerk; Dr. P.A. Tweet, treasurer; John Fetzner and Dr. Hugh Bryce, directors, for their enthusiasm, faithful service, and loyalty. 8 School Mrs. Jensch--Secretary to Mr. Ogland School Nurses—Mrs. Richie, Mrs. Lund 9 Mrs. Kaiser--Secretary to Mr. Heiting Mrs. Hoyer--Secretary to Mr. Ogland MR.

CASSUTT American Problems 13 School Approaches Half Century 1917 Marks Burning Of Sixth Street School And Beginning Of Plans For New High School In March, 1915, the Board of Education discussed the advisability of erecting a new high school building. A com- mittee was appointed to confer with the Council, but no encouragement was received. Under the stress of increased financial difficulties due to increased cost and the need for new and up to date school buildings, the Board in Junuary, 1916, advised the taking of legal steps to make the school district a separate unit for taxation. Under the conditions of the city finances, it was Impossible to raise sufficient money by a bond issue to erect a new high school build- ing. On February 18, 1917, matters developed rapidly when the Sixth Steet School burned to the ground. On Feb- ruary 28, 1917, the Board authorized the circulation of a petition calling on the Council to present the question concerning the advisability of or- ganizing a district independent from the city government. The referendum carried in favor of the organization; and on July 2, 1917, such organization was affected. Steps were taken im- mediately to plan a new high school building. Parkinson and Dockendorff of La Crosse were engaged to plan a new building. In the spring of 1918 this building was started and completed for occupancy by January, 1919. The total cost of the building, including landscaping the site was $160, 366. 57. This building contains an auditorium, gymnasium, and twenty- two classrooms and laboratories. In February, 1947, the Board of Ed- ucation authorized Parkinson and Dockendorff to draw some preliminary sketches for an addition to the high school. During the next few years, sufficient funds for building purposes were gained through bonding, taxation, and help from the City of Hudson of- ficials. The Jensen Construction Com- pany of Minneapolis was low bidder on the general contract at $504,880. 00 and construction began in April, 1952. The building was ready for occupancy by August 15, 1953. Deborah Coulter, Marilyn (Mimi) Erickson, Edwin Daniels, Daniel Score, and Philip Bourget, and advisers, Mrs. Schraufnagel and Mr. Bryan, led the junior class without any failures. Con- tinuing the oval style class ring, the junior class received them in December of 1965. We also worked very hard on preparing our themes for English and thought of ways to earn money for our Junior-Senior Prom. As a result of many good ideas and lots of hard work, we produced the most beautiful and ori- ental Prom on May 6, the theme of which was The Land of Jade. Linda Appleton and David Ruesind were se- lected for Badger State, and Karen Grunke was sent to Japan as our A. F. S. student. Where's my locker key? was the biggest problem confronting the sopho- mores as they entered Hudson Senior High School as well as much confusion of finding classes, and understanding the new rules. The Advisory Tea given in November was a big responsibility, but it was done with much success. With the guidance of our advisers, Mrs. Schraufnagel and Mr. Bryan, and class officers, Linda Appleton, Karen Erick- son, Lynn Stendahl, John Weicherding, and Gregory Sawyer, we were able to go through the year successfully. Every- one enjoyed the driver education course, and we were happy when many received their licenses that year. Many of the sophomores also participated in the music department's My Fair Lady. Now the doors must be closed, but all the memories could never be closed out of our hearts. The senior year was a most rewarding year as the football team kept the little brown jug and All Conference Champ title. Deborah Coulter was our Homecoming Queen. The Crucible,” a dramatic play, was di- rected by Mr. Gustafson and was put on November 4 and 5. We worked very hard on spelling, and American prob- lems’ panels; and with much integrity we made it through the year. Without the much appreciated guidance of our advisers, Mrs. Schraufnagel, Mr. Bryan, and Mr. Hutchison, and help of our class officers Elaine Halvorson, Tim Yost, Daniel Mattson, Erwin Daniels, and Sally Krech, May 25, 1967, would never have come so successfully. 16 Senior Class FRED AHRENS Football 2,4; Wrestling 3,4; Ski Club 1,2,3, 4; F.T.A. 4; H Club 3,4; Organization Officer 1; Office Help 3,4; Intramural Sports 3.

Future Teachers Of America Who will be selling popcorn at the next basketball game? The question was asked frequently at the F. T. A. meetings. This was one of the money raising projects for the one-Hundred dollar scholarship awarded to a grad- uating senior going into the teaching profession. Many of the Senior members had the worthwhile experience of practice teaching. By observing the respon- sibilities of a teacher, they formed varied opinions concerning future plans in the teaching profession. Other objectives of the club are to learn requirements in preparation for the teaching profession, to help each member decide what fields of teaching might interest him most, to develop character and leadership in each mem- ber, and to learn about famous teachers. The officers for 1966-1967 are president: Barbara Beer; vice-president: Sally Krech; secretary: Lynn Stendahl; treasurer: Jennifer Lundberg.

The Crucible Witchcraft in Salem Village during the seventeenth century was the set- ting for Arthur Miller's play THE CRUCIBLE which was directed by Mr. Gustafson. Four young girls engaged a Negro mammy to conjure spirits for them. When town officials heard about it and brought the girls to trial, the girls immediately called the women of the town witches, the trials ended in hangings with the girls going unpunished.

Chippewa Park was the scene of the bands second concert. The trading post was a popular place at Gunflint Lodge. Log cabins proved to be snug sleeping quarters. 1 966 Band Trip Swimming in a heated pool and a good night's sleep at beauti- ful Lutsen Lodge, were wel- comed by the band members after a long bus ride and play- ing a concert. Early the next morning the group left for Fort William, Ontario. First they marched in a short parade and then had free time before they put on a concert in the civic auditorium. They spent the night in cabins in Chippewa Park so that the band could play another concert out in the open. They changed their clothes after the concert, load- ed the buses, and headed for Grand Marais, Minnesota, and Gunflint Lodge. Band members spent three nights and two days in the luxurious cabins and had fun. It rained most of the two days, but it didn't really dampen their spirits. They danced at night and rode horses, played tennis, slept, and hiked dur- ing the day. The trip lasted from June 3 to June 8. It was one of the great- est experiences that the band could have. They would like to thank, their patient chap- erones and give extra thanks to Mr. McMillan who had a great responsibility and was really terrific. Scraps and Friends. 69 The Christmas Concert The Christmas spirit filled the Oak Street Auditorium on December 11, 1966, as several girls from the music department played piano-organ duets as a prelude to the Annual Christmas Concert. The favored refrain of O Come All Ye Faithful, sung by a vocal ensemble opened the concert. The band, under the direction of Ernest McMillan, followed this with two num- bers, Coventry Carol” and The Christmas Party. The audience then heard four numbers by the Girls' Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Margaret Dorwin. These numbers were My Heart Re- joices, No Room, solo by Mary Beth Van Putten, I Wonder as I Wander, solo by Karen Grunke, Glory to God in the Highest. The ensembles then added to the mood that had been set when they depicted the activities that go on in many homes across the country as they sang their songs, Behold a Little Child, Lulla- by, My Babe, Now It Is Christmas Time, It Was a Night of Wonder, Angels O'er the Fields, An Indian Carol, Sing Ye Glory, Alleluia. The Mixed Chorus joined to sing Mexican Christmas Procession, The Nutcracker Suite, and Do You Hear What I Hear. The alumni were invited to join them in the traditional Hallelujah Chorus. The audience fell silent as the curtains opened and revealed a group of angels sweetly singing O Holy Night. This brought the concert to a close on a very beautiful and impressive note. 70 Even Santa was there! 71 Pop Concert 1 966 The 1966 Junior prom, Land of Jade, pro- vided a beautiful setting for the Pop Concert, held on May 14, 1966. The emcee was Jim Mudcat Grant, pitcher for The Minnesota Twins. Mudcat sang, It's Been A Hard Day's Night with the stage band and and read an original poem comparing life to a baseball game. The concert was opened by the stage band. The Mixed Chorus sang three numbers, Anniversary Song, Lazy Bones,” and Vincent Youman's selections. The Girls' Glee Club and vocal ensembles, placed amid the Japanese decorations, pre- sented more music to the sell out crowd. The band closed the concert with selections from the Sound of Music. Mendez Concert 1 967 Raphael Mendez, appearing again at Hud- son High School, presented a concert with the high school, junior high, and grade school bands, on February 12, 1967. Mendez, a classical trumpeter hailing from Mexico, played Clavelitor, Plegaria Taurina, Hungarian Dance 5, and An- niversary Polka, all accompanied by the high school band. The Junior High School band accompanied him in an arrangement of Fascination. 72 SPORTS THIRD ROW: Asst.

Middle Border Conference Champs Thirty-three football candidates showed up on August 17, to get ready for the opening game on Sept. 9. Many people felt that Hudson had lost too many key players from the 1965 champion team to recapture the championship in 1966. But Coaches Don Kadidlo and Don Lee felt that there was a spark there, and were hoping that it would burst into a flame. fense proved to be the death of the Cardinals, as they held them to 22 yards rushing and 0 yards in the air. River Falls came to Hudson to wage one of the best football games seen around this area for years. It was felt that the winner of this game would become Con- ference Champions. On Sept. 9, Hudson faced Blake on the home field. The Raider team took the lead, but Blake came back and scored a couple touch downs to lead. Hudson came to life when two junior half-backs, Bertelsen and Hartmon, scored touch downs on passes and runs. Hudson won. When Hudson faced the young and inexperienced Blackhawks, Bertelsen thrilled the crowd with four touch down runs. The Hudson defense held the Blackhawks, 43-0. The lone scoring threat of the Ellsworth Panthers was stopped as they fumbled on the one-foot line. Bert again scored four touch downs, behind the fine block- ing of the team. The score was 28-0. Hudson probably thought that Homecoming with Colfax would be a Pushover; but at half time, the surprised Raiders were leading by a mere 6-0. Bert- elsen again scored four touchdowns, and Homecoming ended happily with a 25-0 score. Hard running by Bertelsen and Sawyer behind excell- ent blocking from the line proved to be the down fall of New Richmond. Bert scored on runs of 70, 65, 15, and 5 yards. Sawyer on a 5-yard plunge and a 75 yard pass interception. The score was 39-0. Spring Valley scored on the Raiders by scooping up a fumbled ball and runing 90 yards. But the Hudson de- Bertelsen let with a 70-yard touchdown run, and then Sawyer scored ona 15-yard off tackle smash. But with seconds left, River Falls scored. Fhe second half proved to be in Hudson's hands with River Falls' keying of Bert. Fullback Sawyer romped and scored two more touch downs on runs of 18 and 7 yards. The defense kept R.F. scoreless, and Hudson walked off the field with a 27-7 victory and a share of the Conference Crown. Glenwood City came to Hudson with a very fine pass- ing attack as they scored on Hudson with a 39-yard aerial. But Hudson stiffened and held Glenwood to 6 points. The long bombs and interceptions proved to shatter Glenwood. Hartmon and Mattson caught 2 long bombards. Defense back McConaughey ran back an intercepted pass 55 yards. Quarterback Benoy also scored on a 3-yard plunge. The Hudson team achieved an undefeated season, the first since 1954 and Conference Champions for 2 years in a row. The unsung heroes were Ed and Erwin Daniels, Leigh Livermore, Dan Mattson, Les Heffron, Phil Bourget, Steve Staberg, Bob Hartmon and Wayne Johnson.

Homecoming 1966 Homecoming was in full swing after we chose the slogan, Spike the Vikes. The big game was September 30 with the preceding week more hectic than ever. Everyone was busy planning and making preparations for skits, floats, posters, the parade, queen contest, and dance decorations. This year we had a new attraction, returning football co- captains from past years, plus our school clubs had floats. Cries of joy and excitement could be heard near and far as the pep fest start- ed. This year's queen candidates sur- prised and happy, were presented. They were Linda Appleton, Deborah Coulter, Marilyn (Mimi) Erickson, Jeanne (Jan) Watters, and Penelope Wolff. The hap- piest of all were the Juniors who totaled 23 points and walked off with the Home- coming trophy. Tension and happiness were finally re- leased at half-time when 1965 Home- coming Queen, Cynthia Ruelin crowned Deborah Coulter Homecoming Queen of 1966. Tears of joy were shown for Debby and our 25-0 victory over Colfax. At 10:30 the best was yet to come as many happy faces filled the gym for the coronation of our lovely Homecoming Queen. The Senior float carried 1965 Homecoming queen, Cindy Ruelin. The Juniors took second place in the float competition. The first place Sophomore float showed much hard work.

This gave Mr. House and Mr. Bryan, the coaches, a good vote of con- fidence. The first conference game was with Glenwood City. The Raiders defeated them 33-13. The next game was with Ellsworth, and again the Raiders tasted sweet victory with a 27-14 score. The River Falls team defeated the Raiders in a very close game with a 13-19 score. The Raiders also lost to New Richmond where the score was 0-6. The Squad's final game with Baldwin-Woodville had the victorious score of 20-6.

They were joined by new comers Thomas Anderson, Steve Chandler, Dick Bauren- fiend, Daniel Mattson, Bill Engstrom, Bob Hartmon, John Weicherding, and Mike Livermore. After a shaky start, the Raiders came on strong during the second half of the season. The Raiders dropped their first two games of the season, and by Christmas vacation they had a 1-4 record. Returning from Christmas vacation, the Raiders began to come to life. By the end of die season the Raiders had compiled an 8-10 record, and a 5-9 conference record. Highlights of the season included the two meetings Season’s at Ellsworth and Glenwood City at Hudson. In both of these games Hudson lead all die way, but couldn't hold against these two strong teams. Hudson lost twice to New Richmond, Ellsworth, Glenwood City; split with River Falls, Baldwin, and Spring Valley; and defeated Colfax twice to finish in fifth place in the Middle Border Confer- ence. The Tournament brought one of die Raiders most crushing defeats. After defeating River Falls in conference play, Hudson was defeated by them by a score of 68-57 . This put the Raiders out of the running. The graduating seniors on the squad were Jon Hef- fron, Wayne Johnson, Daniel Mattson, Michael Livermore and Robert Benoy.

They were unbeaten in all dual meets. At the Bloomington Track-O-Rama, the thinclads did a fine job, winning the class C division. Hudson had winning teams in the 2-mile relay and the sprint medley, second place in the 440-yard relay, third place in the 880-yard relay, and fifth in the mile relay. The River Falls Invitational, held at Hudson, found the Raiders coming in second behind Unity. It was an exciting meet, with Unity edging Hudson in the last event. At the conference and sectional meets, both at Hudson, the Raider trackmen took first. The thin- clads did an outstanding job at the conference, out- scoring the second place team, New Richmond, 85 to 35. Hudson sent boys to the state meet at Ripon in several events.

Karen Erickson Good Will Ambassador Aboard Karen Grunke left Hudson on June 9 and arrived at Tokyo eight days later. After a five-day stay in Tokyo, she then went to Kobe, a city of about one-million people. Karen stayed in the home of Terue Okamato, her Japanese father, who worked at an automobile insurance company. Her family consisted of two brothers, Seuchiro, 25, and Kogi, 19; two sisters, Keiko, 22, and Toshiko, 17; and her mother, a great cook and sewer. Her favorite Japanese foods were Sukiyaki, Temaura, Tako (octupus), and Sashimi (raw fish). Karen spent a lot of time learning about the various culture aspects of Japan-visiting many temples and shrines, learning the elementary tea ceremony, Japanese flower arranging and writing characters with a brush. Karen left Kobe on August 30 to return to Hudson. I could spend hours just expressing what a wonderful experience A. F. S. is, but now that I have the chance, I would rather say how proud I am of Hudson as an A. F. S. community. Through my experience, I have realized that Hudson isn't an average town when it comes to supporting our foreign students, and I'll always feel proud, and at the same time, humble and grateful to say I represented it. Karen Grunke 92 Visiting Good Will Ambassadors Susana Ignacio has spent the year in Hudson as an American Field Service student from the Philippines. On August 1, Susana left Manila via Philippines Air Lines. Arriving in San Francisco, she then boarded a trailway bus to Hudson. The most exciting part of my travels was the night of August 6 when I first met my foster family. Susana lived at the home of Dr. James Cumming and family. During her school year at Hudson High, she has participated in a number of activities. Susana is a member of G. A. A., Biology Club, the Telescope Club, and Future Nurses Club. I wish to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to all who, in one way or another, made my stay here a great experience for me. The friendliness and hospitality of the people of Hudson is some- thing I can't forget. H. H. S. hopes that Susana has enjoyed being here and has learned as much as her American friends have. Susana's home address is: Bued, Calasiao, Pangasinan Philippines. Susana Ignacio This year Hudson High School was fortunate to have two American Field Service students. Our second student was Chairerg Varavithaya from Korat, Thailand. Chai, as he is known by his friends, transferred here in March from Edwardsville, Illinois. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Gilbert. Chai had three brothers, Lloyd, Don, and Doug; and one sister, Sharon. This was quite a change for him since at home in Thailand he has six brothers and four sisters. I have had an ambition to come to see your wonderful country, since I first learned English in Thailand. During my stay here, I have seen wonderful things in this new world. I had heard that America is a land of free people and land of opportunity, but I didn't believe. Now I believe that it is really true. The impression that America gives me is that everyone has an opportunity to learn, to choose the profession he likes. I really believe that a free education system helps your country, America. Chai's home address is: 72 4 Suranari Rd., Bankoksong, Mueang District Korat, Thailand. Chairerg Varavithaya Badger Boys’ State David Ruesink David Ruesink was the Hudson representative to Badger Boys' State during the week of June 11-18, 1966. The annual event was held at Ripon, Wiscon- sin, and gave the boys experience in government. While he was at Ripon, David participated in the establishment and running of mock city, county, and state departments. The responsibilities and im- portance of political parties were demonstrated in lectures and in actual campaigns, and conventions. Eacy boy at Badger Boys' State received instruction and guidance in the fundamentals of his nation's democratic policy. A better understanding and a keener sense of duty instilled each representative with the desire to return to his community and make use of what he had learned. It was a great oppor- tunity for David to meet and work with outstanding students of Wisconsin. The Hudson Chapter of the Parent Teacher Associa- tion made it possible for Dave to participate in Badger Boys' State. Being at Badger Boys' State was not just a learning experience. I made many new friends I shall re- member for a long time. From the very first I was amazed at the co-operation shown by these boys. It is due to this co-operation that Badger Boys' State has been so successful year after year. Badger Girls’ State Linda Appleton The twenty-third session of Badger Girls' State convened on the Madison campus of the University of Wisconsin on June 11, 1966. Hudson's representa- tive to this annual conference was Linda Appleton. The American Legion Auxiliary annually sponsors a representative to the conference to experience more deeply the purpose of American government and democracy at work. The function of Badger Girls' State was to make us aware of the duties of the state, county, and local governments. It provided information on parliamentary procedure, campaigns, and elections. Linda resided at Chadbourne Hall during her stay at Madison and remained on campus the entire week except for an interesting tour of the state capitol. Mornings were marked by elections, lectures, discussions, and campaigns. Each night, the repre- sentatives had a quiet time when they discussed Trust, Gratitude, Measure of Success, and Respon- sibility. I shall never forget my wonderful experiences at Chadbourne Hall and only wish that everyone could have had the experience of going. I wish to thank the American Legion Auxiliary for making it all possible. 94 FOURTH ROW: William Rouleau, Barry Rogers, Jon (Les) Heffron, Gary Miller, Robert Benoy, Jeffrey Gaynor, Gary Schettle, Kenneth Michael son, Wade Bailey, John St. Ores, Darryl Lundberg.

AFS Committee The A. F. S. Committee with adviser, Mr. Smith; president, Les Heffron; and vice-president, Sharon Gilbert were busy again this year with various money-raising projects. These included running concessions at the River Falls football games, which were played on the Hudson field, and a spaghetti dinner. The games brought in a good deal of money and most of the students had an oppor- tunity to work there. The play, I Remember Mama, was another success. There were four performances under the direction of James Grunke. The cast was made up of several citizens of Hudson including several members of the committee. The spaghetti dinner was the second one. Nearly every committee member was there to serve, clear tables, or wash dishes. By far the best thing the A. F. S. committee got to do was provide homes for students during the A. F. S. weekend, which was a big success again this year. Weekend activities included a dance, tobogganing, and a good deal of discussion.
