It was the glowing, growing, climbing youth of Hudson which mode it our high school: moments with a special friend, the quiet times spent with ourselves, and the rowdy times spent with our gong.” It may not be possible to corner all the memories of youth on a few pages, but we will remember those certain moments . . . Dm TCUIH Student Life 5 Summer '79 Provides Continuous Adventure Summer — the socred stronghold of youthful fontosy. The freedom of o summer doy Is beyond compore to ony other experience of the young. Some spent their summers working towords the driver's license. Then, happily, they cruised oround town dangling their cor keys in front of the admiring throngs. Others lingered on the beach, soaking up the sun in order to sport those beautiful fall tans as long as possible. Most were earning pay checks and converting them to sound systems and other such rewords of employment. As the sweetness of the summer faded, everyone quickly did their fall shopping. Each experience of the vacation made an impression on us. We gazed In wonder at each other . . . more unique for our separate summers, joined once more for o common purpose. 6 Summer Vocofion 1.

Summer Vocation 7 Homecoming: The Week Thot Exhousted Us - Student Council planned a wild week of school activities to stir up spirit for Homecoming. On Wednesday, September 26, a pepfest was held to introduce queen candidates. Students dressed in their grubbies and wore their most interesting hats to exhibit their personalities. Thursday was voting day for Homecoming queen. Posters were also put up that evening. Friday was the field day - the center of attraction for cowbell competition. The senior poster held domin- ion over the commons with its forceful artistry. For the first time ever, a penny drive was held for charity. The senior class bucket was the fullest at the end of the week. Students gathered at Newton Field for seventh hour to participate in class competition. Seniors tugged their way to victory, but the sophomores did give them a tremendous fight in tug-of-war. Juniors won the balloon toss, but ended up third overall. The class of '80 proved they were number one by winning the cowbell for the third consecutive year in their high school career. -rrm, S Homecoming 1.

Pine trees were erected and pork benches set up. Murals of dike walls and mountain scenes were painted and a wishing well and windmill were built. Streamers flowed from the ceiling beneath the dimmed gymnasium lights. Curious students had to be locked out of the gym, but an accidental glimpse produced gasps of awe. On the night of May 5, the doors were opened and the gym was revealed for the first time to the prom goers. The band, Raggs, provided an enchanting evening of mellow rock for both dancers and listeners. At 9:00 the grand march commenced as couples began to cross the bridge to the theme song, The Netherlands. It was over all too soon, but remained a memory of our youth to be cherished forever. Graduation — The End To A Beginning Graduation meant the end of the senior year, but if was also a goal accomplished and another step up the ladder. The class of 79's graduation was unusu- al. Due to an eleven-way tie they had eleven honor students to replace one valedictorian. A speech by class president Natalie Wilcoxson was given after the honors were presented. Natalie's wish for her class was for everyone to be happy in whatever they do. However, what people remem- bered most about her speech was that her cap kept falling off. In a burst of exhilaration, the senior class ended their ceremony with a procfice that had been clos- eted for some time. In unison they threw their graduation caps into the air, and with this a phase of their lives drew to a close. 1. A very relieved Mark Knosr receives his long awaited diploma. 2.

Not only was it the night when the young musicians put their talents to use, but it was also the last Pop Concert at which Miss Dorwin and Mr. Haakenson would direct. Miss Dorwin retired after almost twenty years of dedication in the Hudson system. Mr. Haakenson left to direct a band in Delong Junior High School in Eau Claire. The choruses and band showed their appreciation for their years of dedication with gifts. Many tears were shed at this memorable performance — the last for Dorwin and Haakenson of H. H. S. 1.

Everyone wonted to be on expert. We set ourselves opart from everyone with o special interest. Horizons broadened and our minds burst with the joy of longuoge of our chosen field. Foster and faster we climbed the steps to mastery, and the higher we went, the more we saw how much we had yet to learn. Hobbies 15 Inflation Eats Student s Wages The first job was important. It spelled freedom, freedom to buy that stereo system, car, or clothes. As gas prices rose to staggering heights of 99 and $1.05 a gallon, students wondered if if was worthwhile. Every paycheck seemed to vaporize into the gas tank. Money was also spent on entertainment, such os the Friday night football game or that Saturday night movie, and occasionally a concert. Food, drinks, car insurance, and college were also where part of that paycheck disintegrated. New things bombarded the mind: time cards, minimum wage which raised from $2.65 to $2.90 an hour, uniforms, new skills and courtesy were required in all vocations. Many teachers, parents, employers, counselors and students won- dered whether or not the students could handle jobs and school. Consequently, many settled for a summer or weekend-only job. Hudson was luckily endowed with many businesses which hired young people, so jobs were fairly easy to get. Financial freedom was only an application away. ——: 16 Jobs 1.

They were two delightful plays that got the audience involved. Intermission entertainment revolved around an olio which included the song Temptation, and Friend- ship , a barbershop quartet, and Hard Hearted Hannah,” during which the audience threw money at Joan Wood- ward. The Perils of Priscilla cast a villain and a hero. Switched at the Crossroads a Iso featured the good guy and the bad guy. Both created laughter and amusement for all. Director Linda Dleskachek stated that All the rehearsals for the play went well, and one reason for casting two plays was to be able to involve more students.” '77T77yzzr7rmr 18 School Ploy 1.

Despite the weather, activities such os food booths, a softball tourna- ment, wandering barbershop singers, tug-o-war, a brass exposition, a dunk tank, beer garden, carnival, and team pepper and spaghetti eating contests abounded. The grand parade on Saturday showed off bands, a float with last year's Miss North Hudson and the twenty-five junior girls competing for the 1960 title. Introductions of the girls were made Saturday night. On Sunday, after resumes were filed and interviews had been conducted, the candidates stood in alphabetical order on the stage. Due to inclement weather, the coronation was held in the North Hudson grade school. The building was packed, the air was humid, and hairspray rain proofed each girl. Godfather Sam Ricci received as Pepperfest Queen, Michelle Ruyok. Princesses Mary Dauer ond Kim Gilbert were to accompany her to parades and events to represent North Hudson.

The theme of the annual Hudson Hospital Auxiliary Snoball was Fiesta de Nieve, Festival of Snow. Mexical pinatas and an icy cold night added to the spirit of the dance in the Chateau room of the Hudson House Inn. The Dean's List supplied the music until 7:30 when the Miss Hudson pageant began. The candidates had spent a month preparing for the event through a fashion show, tea parties, and a WAVN radio inter- view. The judges were pressed to choose the fop fen and finally narrowed down the girls to three finalists offer giving each girl a thought-provoking question. Katy Kelly was chosen as queen and her princesses were Kathy Brozek and Pam Pagel. Kelly looked upon her title as a great opportunity to meet people and to help raise money for the hospital. Karen Lee was presented with the Miss Congeniality award. She was chosen by the girls themselves as being the most friendly, charismatic, generous and fun to be with. The Hospital Auxiliary reported the largest gross and the big- gest crowd in Snoball history. The money was used for a medical scholarship fund and the Convalescent Care Unit. 1. The new Miss Hudson.

Another decode has passed, and within that decode many things changed our lives, politically as well as socially. In doing so, if affected our school life. The deaths of many personalities left us saddened as we both felt the loss of them and thanked them for the richness they had brought to our lives: John Wayne. Janis Joplin, Charlie Chaplin, Elvis Presley, Hubert Humphrey. Jimi Hen- drix, Jack Denny, Pope John Paul, Ronnie Van Zant and the list went on. The seventies also met with criticism — it became known as the Me Decade as the self became the ail important. It was the first complete decade that any of us lived through, and the decade was marked by extremes: fantastic feats, blaring scandals, and human tragedies. Remember the first test tube baby? the saccharin ban? the Jonestown tragedy? the Who con- cert in Cincinnati? the Watergate scandal and Nixon's resignation? the gas lines in the summer of 1979? the day Sky Lab fell? the price of gasoline when it was 24.9 a gallon?

As we discovered ourselves, we found others also shored our interests. As o group, we could accomplish more, learn more, and have more fun doing it. Our reward for involvement was not just the awards or the results of our work, but the great group satisfaction for a job well done ond time well spent. We formed new relationships, skills, talents, and possibilities for the future. We hod contributed to our school and enriched our own life as well. cr cur ycuiu Organizations Role Of AFS Club Changed Gently Many people never realized that the role of A. F. S. club changed during the past few years. Part of the financial responsibilities were taken away from the club since the United Fund assumed part of the load of sending A. F. S. students back and forth around the world. This responsibility was assumed by the United Fund in 1976. Still, though, the purpose of the club did not change: it still promoted an interest in and a means for bringing foreign students back and forth between Hudson and the rest of the world. A. F. S. showed its involvement in that process early in the year by selling concessions at the Homecoming football game. 3. A. F. 5.: (Front Row) Mrs. Widvey. Adviser. Pomelo Pogel. Mohomed All Douzouroa.

When o Drozilion boy meets o girl, he kisses her o couple of rimes on the cheek ' commented Gerry Ferguson. Gerry spent his summer in Drogonce Villoco in central Drozil. about fifty miles from the coast. Gerry enjoyed most the friendly, open Drozilion peo- ple and the country's mild winter weather. Deco use Gerry didn't hove to attend school, he was free to novel with three other exchange students to the copitol of Drozil and Salvador. In Chile I didn't even start to get ready to go somewhere until It was time to go.' stated Pam Pogel. This was her attempt to cope with the friendly, unpunctual Chileans during her three month stay there lost sum- mer. In fact. Pom found it almost more difficult to cope with the un- punctuality than with the language. Going to school, living with the five member John Stone Almarzo family, and meeting oil of their seventy rela- tives guaranteed enough practice for fluent Spanish skills. She found that in the Chilean culture touching was a second language and on integral port of their communication, especial- ly during the first few weeks of her visit. The German lifestyle was generally more relaxed, allowing me to enjoy things usually don't hove time to do. explained Kirk Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Davis. Last summer provided a chance for playing piano, hiking, and climbing mountains. The relaxed lifestyle did nor. however, extend to the school system where, according to Kirk, students were pushed academically. Heavier, much harder study and homework mode up for shorter school days, from 6:00 to 1:00. Kirk experienced German life first in Schopfheim. a small village in southern Germany, and then in Trier near the Delgium border. 26 A.F.S. 7 needed some thinking time before entering the uni- versity. ” said Johonno Mondok. who come over from Groz. Austria, for the fall semester. Johonno was not sponsored by the A. F. S.: she come over on her own. She considered her stay In America on outstanding opportuni- ty to leorn English and the customs of the American people. Johanna was inspired to come to Hudson by her cousin. Roimund Seidel. H. H. S. 5 A. F. S. student in 1973- 74. She resided at the George Allen's. Because expressing her thoughts on paper was important to Johanna, she especially liked the literature class. Ori- ental Literature. She also stated that her six months In Hudson changed the ways she kept In shape: the J. V. Volleyball team hod to compensate for the lack of Austri- an walks. Call me Homodl ' urged Mohomed Ali Bouzouroa from Tunisia, and don 't confuse me with the boxer. However, certain similarities did exist: both pos- sessed quick wit and expressive lan- guage. Coming from a totally different culture, adjusting to Hudson wasn't easy for Hamodi. Snow, cold weather, and slippery conditions created frustra- tions for him. Luckily for Hudson. Ha- modi coused a lot of students to take a different look at world events and to understand that not all people and all countries feel os the United States does. I come here to meet people. stored Preben Grevstod. a tall, blue-eyed Norwegian who followed the old Viking trodition originating from the days of Leif Erikson by find- ing America again. Our Rotary exchange student wasn't a newcomer. In 1976. Preben skied in the St. Paul area for peace and friendship, together with 500 other Norwe- gian skiers In an event called Ski for Light. This year, one of Preben's first achievements of H. H. S. was. of course, to become part of the Cross Country ream. Outside school, he enjoyed woterskilng. hunting, and snowmoblling. os well os socializing. Preben shored his year here with four Hudson families. ‘7 came here to look for myself. stated MottI Huuskonen. Marti brought with him a sarcastic wit. his Lapland boots, and a bright talent for words which no one could forget. He took back with him a knowledge of dog racing, heating homes with wood instead of oil (how to chop wood and his fingers), and a knowledge of what year- books are and how to put them together. He thought that not having windows in the school was terrible since he could no longer fulfill his genuine drive toward misusing class time. The school tried to teach expressing ones thoughts, opinions, and the seif quite effectively. Marti felt. He disliked calling everyone by their title name such os Mr.. Mrs.. Miss, as it showed a sign of authority he didn 't approve of. Marti lived with the Robert Oestreich family. He enjoyed his stay there very much. '7 think America is great. answered Carol Colomo. a native of Santo Cruz. Bolivia. Carol resided with the John Gul- den family. To Carol. America provided an opportunity to make friends and Im- prove her command of the English lan- guage. Carol was sponsored by the Youth Exchange Service of the Catholic Church. Again this year, H. H. S. was privileged to have the foreign exchange exper- ience: students from Austria, Colombia, Finland, Norway, and Tunisia made us question our values as individuals and as a nation. H. H. S. also sent three students to Brazil, Chile, and Germany. A.F.S. 27 German Club Visits Germany German club had a very exciting and eventful two weeks this year. Through the Infercultural Student Experiences, they spent six days with a German host family and the rest of the time touring Ger- many. It was a great learning experience for them to live with a family and see how the Germans actually live. They got to go to school, go to the market, and experience every other everyday oc- currence with their new families. The remainder of the trip was spent touring southern Germany and such cities as Rothenburg, Munchen. and Garmisch. Unfortunately, Spanish club did not have a very eventful year. They made pinata's for the Snoball dance which featured a Spanish theme. They also enjoyed a festive outing at Charo's, a Mexican restaurant in St. Paul. 1. GERMAN CLUB: Dione Weiher. Shown Kiley.

As soon os the school yeor opened, the Council jumped into oction by chonging its constitution, which brought obout the chonges in ap- pointees and in the election of class officers. After the '79-80 Student Council was elected, each class appointed two students from their grade based on background and political futures. These two appointees acted as middle- men in Student Council-student body relations. They did not, however, have a vote. They were appointed for one year, unless they chose to allow a fellow class member to enjoy the benefits of the position. Last year, ballots were distributed throughout the class- rooms, and all students were required to vote. This year, the voting was more realistic. Tables were set up by the trophy case opposite the commons and those who want- ed to vote could just pick up a ballot. Polls opened around 7:30 and closed at 8:00. Some of the changes made by the Council directly affect- ed the student body. They were responsible for changing the participation points system and making it more equi- table. The Council was also involved with the Homecoming and pepfest activities. This year, they also were responsible for the concert that was held the first day of school. 1.

Records Youthful Spirit T.D.A.'s goal this year was to capture the spirit of youth and record the happenings of 1980. The ladder represented the meaning of youth pictorially. It symbolized that each step was an experience, an event, or another year post. It also provided a way to get more pictures on each spread without having it look crowded. The artistic talents of Amy Black were put to use throughout the book. The four added pages were soon filled by Powerlifters, Soccer, Softball, and Special Programs. On August 8, Brenda Nelson and Brook Lowry traveled to Stevens Point for a workshop which helped them finalize their ideas and put them into motion. It helped create a new goal for them: to personalize the book and to make it a lasting treasure for each student. This was expedited by using quotes from the staff and students. Special feature pages such as the administration page and the senior spread and the Happen- ings pages were added. At the Eau Claire WCVSPA conference in October, Scott Trossen, senior photographer on staff, came home with o second place award for sports photography. The staff attended a Christmas party at Brook Lowry's home to celebrate the end of their second deadline and the Christmas season. One of the staff's highlights this year was Matti Huuskonen, whose wit and talent was appreciated and needed in the staff room. He was the first A.F.S. yearbook member and he came a long way from not knowing what yearbooks were to creating his own spreads. Forepaugh's provided an elegant backdrop for their last dead- line celebration. 5. Morti Huuskonen designs the cheer- leading spread while thinking about his next coffee break. 6.

Mr. Gus- tafson, and co-editors Jill Woolen and Linda Williams were able to get permission from the school board and administration to adopt the offset-type method of printing. The production staff still had to prepare the entire paper camera-ready to be photographed by the Hudson Star Observer. Then the negative was used to print the newspaper in sheets of four pages. The idea was to create a more readable, a more aesthetically pleasing paper. The process is more costly, said Desty Sandberg, production editor, but we pay for it ourselves with the Bookstore and adver- tising. The editorial editor, Steve McGinley, took over in Janu- ary to fill the space left by Barry Nordstrand. McGinley tried to cover more current events such as juvenile crime, the Olympics, the presidential campaign, and censorship. A column of student responses to current issues, On the Line, involved more students in the paper. Be- hind the Bench was the new name for Will Ruem- mele's sports column. According to Ruemmele, in- creased enthusiasm for sports this year greatly eased the task of newswriting. The T.B.T. also experimented with magazine format and was able to get headlines typed at the Star Observer, thus decreasing mistakes. f.

Dikkers Fills In As New Debate Coach As the months grew closer to opening Debate for another season, the question remained unanswered — who was going to replace Nila Meyer as Debate coach? The new speech teacher. Craig Lewis, wasn't going to start teaching until the second semester, so Mrs. Dikkers took over. She hadn't coached for ten years and soon found that many changes had taken place. The format of debate had changed, as well as the way the debaters collected their information. The debate topic for this year was: Resolved: The United States should significantly alter foreign trade policies. The debate team competed in several tournaments: the St. Croix Falls Invitational, Delong Invitation at Eau Claire, Durand, Bloomington-Jefferson, followed by the Middle Border Conference tournament which made them Middle Border Conference champions. Two tournaments were held at UW-River Falls. The first was the fourth annual John A. Oostendorp Memorial where the team placed second. The second competi- tion held in River Falls was Districts. The team ended the season with nine individual and team trophies. 1. Roger Hetchler works feverishly tor answers on his debate topic. 2. DEDATE: Robert Dechelne, Roger Herchler. Coach Joyce Dikkers.

Craig Lewis,the new speech teacher who replaced Nila Meyer, became the assistant Forensics coach. Also, Mary Olson, a graduate from Hudson High School, coached for an independent study credit at UW- River Falls. She was a major in communications and wanted to work directly with students in speech. Along with the changes in the coaching department, changes also occurred in the categories of Forensics. The public address category was dropped this year, and storytelling was also undergoing consid- eration. The team competed in the Baldwin Invitational in February to help prepare them for sub-districts. The sub-district tournament was held on March 15, with district competition on March 29. Last year sixteen students won their way to state. Five of them didn't go due to conflicts with the Valley Arts Guild and ACT testing. Overall. Coach Dlkkers said that fewer students participated this year even though more coaches were available to assist them. 1. Joyce Dikkers assets Mum nuuunder on ±pe . . for Forensics. 2.

This mode the membership rise from 12 to 48 members. The reason wos due to the loss of last year's graduates ond they wanted to make the club more fun and interesting. For their member- ship drive, they hod tournaments between the members in badminton, ping-pong, and roquetball. They sold concessions ot football games and wrestling matches, ond popcorn at bosketball gomes. They raised money to put on o spring athletic banquet ot the Hudson House. They also reached their main objective as H-Club: promoting athletics in Hudson and good feelings between the athletes. The Dig Dlue Crew wos the new name chosen for the Pep Club this year. They held a contest at the beginning of the year to see who could come up with the best new name. Along with the new name, there were many new members in the club os well. Together they worked to create more posters to liven up the school walls and to build school spirit. The club showed much more spirit and pep than in the post. 1. H-CLUD: (Front Row) Tracy D'Addario.

Pep Club Sectional Officers Workshop Held At Hudson The Future Formers of America hod o very busy and productive year in 79-80. The year began with o sectional officer's work- shop ot Hudson which was attended by 250 F.F.A.er's representing a seven county area. Fund raisers included concession sales at wrestling and basketball games, and a fruit selling drive which sold a thou- sand cases of grapefruits and oranges. Del- egates from the chapter were sent to the state and national conventions held in Green Lake, Wisconsin, and Kansas City, Missouri, respectively. The annual mem- ber-parent banquet was held in March where awards and speeches were given. Community projects included tree planting and landscaping around the schools in Hud- son. The chapter participated in speech, creed, tractor driving and an agricultural techniques contest throughout the school year. Sporting activities included softball, basketball, and snow-tubing. The Hudson chapter earned a second place trophy in softball this past year and planned to reap a first place trophy next year. 1. F.F.A.: (Front Row) Kirk Klund. Dove Sport, Mike Kin- ney.

The J.V. basketball cheerleaders as well as Raidaires performed this year for the girls' varsity basketball team for the first time in their histories. In addition to dancing and cheering at the games, the cheerleaders worked closely with the Pep Club to boost school spirit. Posters graced the hallways and the Mr. Irresistable contest was the brainchild of the cheerleaders. This year cheerleaders attended three different camps to polish their excellent cheering skills. The Hudson cheerleaders. Mary Dauer. Nancy Dana, and Margaret McGrow, received the first place award during the Mississippi camp and also the most congenial award. The usual performances of the Raidaires took place at a few football games, at all boys' basketball games, the pep tests, and as already stated, at the girls' basketball game. 1980 also marked the last year that Mrs. Ronningen would be their adviser. After nine years as Rai- daire adviser, she left her position to chorus teacher. Miss Holmes, who would assume her new position in the 1980-81 school year. Both Mrs. Ronningen and Mrs. Vincent, the cheerleading adviser, viewed their 1980 squads as one of the most serious and hard-working teams they had ever advised. 36 1. J. V.

Cheerleoders 39 New Club Instated This year the Powerlifters was created and became an instantaneous success. Mr. Kaminsky created the Powerlifters for three reasons: 1) powerlifting and weight training could be turned into an excellent phy. ed. elective; 2) it was a good idea to increase explosive power in all athletes: and 3) the potential remained great that students might pursue powerlifting as a lifetime activity. Powerlifting provided students with new self images as they grew to look better and feel better. Besides this, participants didn't need a great deal of specialized skill. It concentrated on four exercises to build muscles: the bench press to build the upper body, and the dead lift, squat, and powerclean to shape up the lower body. They were well organized as a first year activity, and the Powerlifters competed in a February 2 meet. 1st Annual Powerlifting Championship Wt.

After a fast-paced season averaging two meets a week, they ended the season by sending five team mem- bers to sectionals. Although not all the meets were won, two inspirational coaches and the captains, Deb- bie Johnson and Nadine Schmitz, made the season a worthwhile one. 44 Girls' Track Swifter, Higher, Stronger Swifter, higher, stronger - the official motto of the Olympics accurately described the outstanding Hudson Boys' Track team. The Thinclads won their third straight Middle Border and Regional Championship. This was their eighth victory in the past twelve years under Coach Ewing. The team was lead by John Kromer and Brian Halvorsen, both of whom qualified for the state meet. Kromer lead the team in scoring and Halvorsen was given the Tom Creagan Award. Other outstanding performers included Jeff Spangenberg and Al Tindell in the sprints, and Tim Hayes and Dan Kirkpatrick in the hurdles. The loss of graduating seniors would be hard to replace, but with the number of returning lettermen, the team had high hopes of becoming swifter, higher, stronger. I—II—I I—I V 1.

The team ended with an overall record of 5-1, which earned them the M.B.C. championship. They went on to become regional champs by beating both River Falls and Meno- monie.

They each bought jerseys with their nicknames on the back and Pigs in Tennis” on the front. With a 10-2 record, the girls ad- vanced Jill Waalen in singles and Con- nie Koelln and Michelle Kalis in doubles to sectionals. Coach Kocmoud said that the reason for the team's success was the excellent team balance. Every member contributed her all. 1.

Under the direction of Harry Kaminsky, football spelled organization, disci- pline, and hard work. The team worked on atti- tude, self-discipline, and learning how to make a commitment. Wins and losses were second in importance. Building for the future was most im- portant with many juniors to return next season. Although next year was stressed. Hudson did win back the Little Brown Jug from River Falls by a score of 18-15 and finished second only to Mondovi in the Middle Border Conference. 1. Coach Kaminsky gives Dove Iverson a pep folk. 2.

This year was no exception as the Wet 'n Wild Women'' splashed all the way to state sectionals with a spectacular win loss record. The team took sixth place which was an excellent rating since there were fifteen teams involved. Jenny Wallace went to state competition in diving, only the third time anyone had. The team was also asked to the Colby Invitational where they captured the first place trophy over five teams.

The girls showed real team spirit on the court, thus improving their game skills. The players with the top three point averages were: Kathy Sundberg, 16; Mary Shubat, 9; and Jill Waalen, 8. Coach Cassutt was optimistic about the coming year, stating that he was satisfied with this season's progress and that he held high hopes for the coming one. With the majority of the players returning for the 80-81 season, there is a good chance of them captur- ing the success of this year's season once again. 56 1.

Boys' Basketball Team Gains Mid-Season Momentum The start of the new decade was rough on the Boys' Basketball players. Without some of the size of the past years and with a conference that displayed unusu- al balance the Cagers found the path of success strewn with obstacles and sur- prises. A mid-season five game losing streak forced the team into ’decision time.” They decided to get down” and play to their potential. A string of late season victories enabled the Raiders to finish strong and allowed the senior members to leave with positive feel- ings. 1. HOYS' VARSITY DASKETDALL: (Front Row) Ron Jenkins.

Wrestling 63 Gymnastic Team Displays Effort And Spirit Despite the fact that the gymnasts shared a loud and small balcony with the Powerlifters. this year's team displayed team effort and a cheerful team spirit. The new coaches this year were Mary Maly and Condy Speaber, a UW-River Falls student. There were assisted by Terri Wilcox for the first semester. This year's manager was Terrie Schell. The team received first place in nearly all of their meets, and as their manager pointed out, They displayed good attitudes with a high gymnastic ability. Also, since the team was comprised mostly of young members, the outlook for the coming season was optimis- tic. 1. Melody Hooglon practices her balance beam dismount. 2.

Soccer Team Supported By Seniors The newly established Hudson High Soccer team was the outgrowth of the St. Croix Val- ley Youth Soccer Program and the intramural soccer program of the past three years. Pro- moted in part by the soccer association, the efforts of this group of athletes were both competitive and entertaining. Lead by a group of enthusiastic seniors, the blue and white from Hudson was very competitive against a variety of experienced teams from Minnesota finishing with a 3-7 record in their initial year. A year of learning, fun, team- work and future goals made the 1979 Soccer team much more than an intramural team. Robin Beauchamp and Jeff Spangenberg were both lettering co-captains. Leading scor- er with eight goals was Jim Krier. Greg Wett- leson was voted more valuable since he stopped many goals, and sophomore Dave Hahn was voted most improved. 1.

Teachers were our friends when we made an effort to understand them. We had some fun times in class. Each experience and acquaintance brought us nearer to the ultimate triumph. Whether climbing the ladder of knowledge, the social ladder, or a stairway to our dreams, we passed through the doors of this school on our voyage to reach our goals. IN CUR TCUIU Academics 69 English In English classes this year students were busy with the usual English tasks: writing book reviews, constructing good paragraphs and giv- ing that speech they just happened to forget over the weekend. Seniors were busy finishing up their required classes; Juniors were working on American Lit.; Sophomores were dividing their time between o speech class ond their composition classes. Terri Wilcox took the place of Nilo Meyer this year. Mrs. Wilcox said of her first full quarter ot Hudson, I'm still learning the ropes, but it's fun!

The histories of various major cities ond states in West Germany were studied, os well os the origins of many customs, many of which ore still practiced today. German club students who were going to Germany this spring especially benefited from this exploration of the German way of life. In addition to the German textbooks, students benefited from Mr. Schubert's slides. His various slides were of his stays in Germany. His first hand knowl- edge of the German culture was also helpful. Money Neuman Spanish Many students studied the Spanish language more extensively this year. They interpreted the lyrics of Spanish, practiced songs ond gestures, ond took o look ot the traditional sport of bullfighting. Students were given o new insight to the Spanish culture os they studied the South American Countries. It gave them o speciol view of the influences of the Spanish way of life in our country ond that of their neighbors. Academics This year sow more students than in the post participating in art courses, and the two showcases always hod interesting and colorful examples of student artwork on Display. The Fi- bers classes were involved in bank- ing and basket weaving; the Ceram- ics classes threw pots and coiled bas- kets; the Drawing and Painting classes. Design Problems classes, as well as the students participating in the independent Studio Work pro- duced many inventive works of art using acrylics, pencil, and pen and ink techniques. All this made for some very interesting and some- times surprising displays in the show- cases as students revealed their artis- tic talents to their classmates and teachers. 1. Mr. Schubert gives individual help to Motti Huuskonen. the A. F. S. student from Finland. 2. Mr. Schubert answers the many questions about the conjugation of verbs. 3.

Academics 79 Physical Education Mr. Harry Kaminsky joined the teaching staff of physical education, assuming two junior and two senior classes. The common experience in the fall seemed to be team handball which was taught to all classes. The game was a curious combination of basketball, soccer and mugging. It invoked the fiercest of competitiveness in some stu- dents. This year, seniors were required to take a semester of physical education. They de- veloped Robin Hood skills in an archery unit, sampled broomball and even unicy- cling. There was flag football for the sopho- mores and recreational games for the ju- niors. Miss Noreen noticed a change in the soph- omore class. ''They're not as competitive as some of the other classes but still nice to work with. Mildred Noreen John Ewing Horry Kaminsky 1.

Health Careers B. P., T. P. R., testing auditory and visual acuity, and bedmaking were just a few of the skills Health Careers' students learned. Through a series of field trips, research studies and actual working experiences, students could explore the area of health they had interest in. Students visited the St. Croix County Health Center, WITI New Richmond, Ramsey Coun- ty Hospital, and Gillette Hospital. Phase II of the program allowed students to enter their chosen specialty area as a volunteer worker-in-training. The Hudson Hospital and nursing home, as well as private offices, offered employment. Students learned how to converse with the ill and older persons in a reality orientation. Christmas and Easter parties were given for the CCU residents. Contacts made during these on-the-job sessions often turned out as valuable sources for part time work. Also,” explained Mrs. Hibbard, post secondary schools would rather admit a student who has worked or had experience in his chosen area — he is more apt to complete his education.” Among the alumni of the class are a director of nurses at a large hospital and an anesthetist. One student who planned to go on in health, Nancy Dana, said she would like to become an optometrist. Academics 81 Students taking chorus waited with anxiety for the new cho- rus teacher over the summer. Many didn't think anyone could adequately replace Miss Dorwin. Surprise! The chorus depart- ment was complete and ready to roll with Miss Holmes at the helm. 82 Academics 1. GIRLS' ENSEMBLE: (Front Row) Ju- lie Matson. Lee Winter. Kelly Tel- lander.

Academics 53 Holmes Shifts Emphosis To Leorning There were six concerts during the yeor. In Morch o classical concert was presented which led the audience through the history of music. The program included narrations and repertoire from Renaissance to contemporary forms of music. Miss Holmes also initiated voice lessons. Each student was required to have one private lesson during the year. The lessons included breathing, posture, musical terms, intervals, and singing without accompaniment. She also started planning to organize a Madrigal singing group which would perform music from the Renaissance age. Miss Holmes looked upon chorus as an op- portunity for students to learn music forms, team effort, listening, performing, the idea of community benefit, and a feeling of be- longing. As she stated, Everytime we sing, we create something, whether it is a mess, or something beautiful that people can listen to and hopefully en- joy. Choraliers was offered second hour (even days); Concert Choir was offered fourth hour: Swing Choir was offered during the sixth hour (odd days); the five Ensembles met on their own. Both Swing Choir and the Ensembles sang out- side the school on an invitation only basis. Some of the traditional stops were the North Hudson school. HARP, the Convalescent Home, and the retired teachers' organization. In these groups, singers attempted more difficult pieces. 1. Men 's Ensemble performs or the 1979 Christmas Concert. 2.

With the band under the direction of Mr. Negard, many new changes were instated: lectures on music theory, written tests, memorization of scales, empha- sis on discipline. This was Mr. Negard's first year of teaching, so both he and his students experienced newness together. The band sold fruitcake and popcorn to raise money for a future band trip, new school instruments, and uniforms. The performed at many concerts such as an indoor marching band concert in October, a Christmas concert, the Pop Concert and others. They also made regular appearances for pepfests, football, and bas- ketball games. 1. TRUMPETS: (Front Row) John Von Allen, Chris LoPlonte, Robin Deauchomp. Holly Hinzmon.

Driver's Education Along wifh the usual hazards of earning one's driver's license, this year's Driver's Education students could also look forward to putting most of their pay checks in the gasoline tank as Americans watched the price of the precious petrol slowly make its way past the dollar mark. At no other time before was the point so well taken that Mr. Heidenreich taught — driving real- ly was a privilege. Formerly, students dreamed of getting their wheels and cruising on Saturday nights. However, for the time being. Mr. Heidenreich had a huge task teaching eager, aspiring drivers that economy was the measure of the day. Driver's Education students spent a great deal of their time discussing tips for buying cars. Also, students learned how much and what kind of auto insurance they needed for adequate coverage.

An alternative to Contemporary American Government was instated. It was patterned offer the D. E. E. P. program that started in Wichita, Kansas, a few years back. It operated on a student-centered, project-orientated basis. Individual art classes also were taught this year. This gave the students who had had a minimum of three art classes the extra time to pursue more advanced art techniques. This was prompted by Mrs. Carlson who enjoyed teaching students who enjoyed what they were studying. Another alternative study program was the indepen- dent science study group. This enabled the students to work in the areas of science that they were interested in, under the scrutiny of Mr. Rengstorf and Mr. Grabau. These students helped them with the green house, aquariums, terrariums, and office work. Independent music study enabled the students to get a more in-depth study on theory, history, conducting, composition, ear training, and arranging vocal tech- niques. Many students took advantage of this program which was directed by Miss Holmes. 1. Mr. Ronning explains ro his alternative govern- ment doss the types of projects that ate due for the semester. 2. During his individual art class. Eric Du well checks his newly made pot for air bub- bles. 3. Paul Copeland takes core of the science department animals. Academics 91 Adjustments Bring Variety, Rules Lots of different faces were seen in the personnel deport- ment this year. With the change of faces came a lot of adjustments. New programs were developed such as Project Deep as a new avenue of reaching students. The lunch program made a big turn around due to the posi- tion created for a district-wide food services director, Joan Allen. A salad bar and an a la carte service were added which gave students and faculty a delicious variety at lunch time. In the English Resource Center, the year began with two new aides, Sandy Omland and Judy Mischke. However, both of them resigned within the first three months of the school year for unforeseen reasons, and Dev Djornstad and Ruth Tschumperlin were hired as their replacements. Faces were not all that changed. Discipline became strict and widely enforced. Students found that many excuses for absences didn't pass through the secretaries as easily this year. Admit slip excuses were carefully checked out through the administration. Mrs. Molly Kaiser Mrs. Judy Campbell Office Secretory Office Secretory Mrs. Shirley McGlnley.

Help 93 The youth of today, while subjected to more critical personal decisions, hove the constant opportunity to contribute in o positive, mean- ingful way to the improvement of our society. Their frontiers are more social than physical, but always very important. The task of using one s skills and abilities for the betterment of society means a shift from the seemingly all important 7 to the reality of the more important We. The gift of life is too important not to be used for the improve- ment of society. Our young people are still our nation s great- est resource. They need only to accept the challenge of constant improvement and of giving their best effort to everything they do. Mr. Noel Schumacher, Principal To write a paragraph or two that would characterize the youth of today at this time in our lives Is a very difficult task due to the situation in America and the Middle East. When you read this I would hope and pray that the situation os I see it now will have been resolved and peace will prevail. Today s youth con be characterized os the youth of each generation except the discontentment would seem to be more profound and violent through the destruction of self and others by means of suicide, crime, vandalism, drugs, alcoholism, and pregnan- cies. However, on the other hand, there would seem to be on all rime high in seeking meaning through God, a willingness to hove our behavior regulated, and a thrust toward high performance and success. Youth will always be seeking a deeper meaning os o way of gaining a sense of self worth. Yet this search for substance in a society of uncertainty will continue to cause depression, being down on one's self, creat- ing a constant worry about doing well, and a concern of being accepted. The best way to describe the difference in youth from one generation to the other is through their manifes- tation of resources and behaviors used to establish a system for coping with the posture of the society in which they live. Dr. William C. Kelly. Superintendent 94 Administration Administration Predicts Bright Future For Youth I960 was a year characterized by change. New policies were introduced which made the school year run much smoother, according to Principal Mr. Schumacher. New faculty members, a new lunch program, new clubs and new classes emerged. One of the administrative improvements was the better defined discipline procedures. The rules and consequences of various acts were set down as a guide for all. ’Students now know exactly where they stand,” explained Miss Crownhart. Mr. Schumacher believed students should have the freedom to learn. It was worth the effort of monitoring halls and parking lots and keeping close tabs on skip outs” in order to create an environment conducive to these rights. Everyone had to be in school at 8:00 this year. This meant the revocation of one of the traditional senior privileges,” the option to not attend a first hour study hall. The participation points worked well this year, despite student objections. They were designed to reward the student who participated in class and who had good attendance. Those good” students were hardly affected, but students who had formerly achieved good grades without participation and attending class suffered. It would be much easier to express my thoughts on the youth of today In several pages than It will be In several paragraphs, but let me try: In general, the youth of today are very little different than they have ever been. They ore still making the same foolish mistakes that young people hove always made: mostly. I believe, because we all had to learn from our own experience no matter in what generation we grew up. Mistakes mode experience and experience provides maturity. The process of experiencing, which should lead to maturity. Is happening much earlier than It did In the post; this leads to a conflict between youth and adults nor evidence In the past. While today’s youth Is maturing earlier, the opportunity to put that earlier maturity to use seems to be coming later and later in their lives. This leaves a disparity between the person who feels mature enough to accept responsibility and society In general, which feels that the person is too young to be given that responsibility. When disparity con be reduced, most of the problems that society sees as insurmountable will be reduced to the level found In all of society. - Dr. Dauer. Dr. Roger Dauer. Director of Instruction Mr. James Luedtke. Counselor Miss Mary Crownhart. Counselor High school students ore a delicate balance between childhood and adulthood. They come to us as children and three years later they move Into the world os adults. Truly o remarkable trip through rime. It’s excit- Ing to be around people who are changing and ac- cepting change so quickly. — Mr. Scheffen. Our youth of today can meet the chal- lenge of tomorrow by being Involved and using their common sense. Educa- tion will enable our youth to better achieve their goals in life and become responsible citizens in our community. - Mr. Luedtke. As we enter a new decode, the youth of today ore faced with unlimited op- portunities. They have been provided with the most sophisticated materials and methods available in education. The decisions that students moke con be based upon Information from com- puters. resource personnel, personal experiences, and textbooks. The ex- tent to which students open them- selves to these opportunities Is deter- mined by themselves. Those who wont to accept the challenge of an educa- tional program do so with enthusiasm. The proof of their efforts will be evident or the end of this decode and the ef- fects of their endeavors will be with us In the future. — Miss Crownhart. Administration 95 The students of out high school displayed o new enthusiasm for education which excited administration and teachers. Suddenly, ideas like mini-courses and a more involved student government seemed possible. The new sophomores colored the school a new shade of blue with their endearing inexperience of life. Those new faces became a part of our school, a voice in changes, an addition to our collective talents and a promise for future leadership. Juniors were plugging it out, expecting more than last year and somehow achieving it. They tried harder when they realized with a growing maturity what their futures depended on. Education was a privilege. Seniors set their goal high: to be considered the best graduating class in Hudson High School history. With rare organization and responsibility, they led the entire school as an example for underclassmen. Friendships formed which were to endure a lifetime. Brief moments of love and profound realization occurred. We were all in the midst of that furious race to grow up. Everything was an extreme: terrible, fantastic, boring, exciting, good or evil. Growing up was a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Under the leadership of Miss Noreen, Mrs. Vincent and Mr. Rengstorf, the Juniors began to raise money. Selling carnations at Homecoming, running the concession stand at football games and selling baked goods at the First National Dank started the Junior class on that long, hard climb. Key chains boldly displaying class years and indescribably deli- cious candy bars were a temptation to all. The biggest fund raiser was the sale of money-saving Happenings books, ristmas, the Junior class was more than half way s their goal — the most spectacular Prom ever!! were too many different fund-raising projects and ough people working on them. -Layne Merritt uld have been really nice if more Juniors had partici- in the fund-raising activities.

After having inter- viewed several Seniors, we found that at this stoge most knew where they were headed or at least had a vague idea. Here were a few responses: William Gehn planned on working over the summer to help pay for college. He planned on attending River Falls for his first of four years. He planned on majoring in engineering. Steven McGin- ley planned on attending UW Ecu Claire or UW Madison and majoring in either sociology, political science, or social work. He hoped to become a professor. Susan Sears planned on going to college and majoring in Phy Ed- Coaching. then getting o job to pay for her college ond moving back to Montana. John Murphy planned on at- tending River Falls ond majoring in Political Science. Matti Huuskonen was headed back to Finland to finish high school. He planned on furthering his education by going to college somewhere in Europe and majoring in sociolo- gy or journalism. Marilyn Dohne planned on attending 916 to become an accountant. Robyn Olson planned on going to Rasmussen School of Business to become a Sec- retary. How Bout You?

After having climbed from grade to grade for more than a decade, if was a tremendous relief to have finally arrived! It was, however, also full of responsibilities such as filling out the necessary applications for college, vocational schools, full time jobs, or leases for apartments. The challenges were ever-present os well. Some tried to beat the new point system, and others realized that there were credits to be earned which involved self-discipline. Seniors looked forward to the traditional senior privileges only to find that they no longer existed. What did exist in its place was the point system. Although there was the disappointment of losing senior privileges, the rewards for the senior class were left: receiving the covered diploma from Hudson High. We achieved.

In short I would be simply o real human being ond oil that that entails. Unfortunately we only get one shot. My advice, very simply is to do oil the 'woulds' ond oil the would not s in the above paragraphs.

F. S. experience. I spent my summer of 79 living in Germany and becoming parr of a family I learned to love like my family bock home. To read about a country is one thing, but to actually experience their woy of life is the ultimate. I loved it there, and at the same time developed a stronger love for my family and friends ond that small town of Hudson. I like working with people ond aiming for a goal. One woy of combining the two has been participating in the school ploy. I looked forward to that each year, and always came out toughing. Forensics was another highlight of my years in H. H. 5. always enjoyed speaking, and with Mrs. Dikkers I learned o lot ond was able to participate in store competition more than once. It's a good feeling to earn something like that with my own ability, depending on no one but me. Friends are o highlight of all activities, ond high school was no exception. School activities, dances, sports events, worship opportunities were all made so much greater when your close friends were around to moke it happen. Highlights of high school? Thor's a question that mokes o person thinkI It's nice to know that I'll be remembering the good timesI Strange, isn't it. how fast those boring hours of comp., hassles in Physics and Pre. Calc, slip our minds!! — Kirk Davis The highlights of my high school days were meeting ond mo king new friends through classes, clubs, ond sports. The highlights of my Senior year were being a Homecoming queen candidate ond being one of the wet ond wild women on the swim team. My advice to underclassmen: get involved with as many extra-curricular activities as possible.
