This year saw a return to the fundamental classics. Crew neck sweaters, oxford shirts, and plaid kilts were revived by the fashion houses and eventual- ly adopted by HHS girls. Clogs and topsiders were worn by virtually everyone, as well as the designer jeans (with the trusty comb tucked in the back pock- et, naturally.) 1. Marci Shubat pensively models the comfortable cowl necked pullover that remained popular this year. 2. The jean skirt and tweed blazer Arlys Benoy wears is typical attire for the dressed up girl. 3. Clogs, clogs, and more clogs. Great for the casual or dressy look — or so these two girls believe. 4 Beth Peterson looks comfortable in what has become the virtual uniform of HHS — blue jeans and a pullover. Fashions — 14 1.

The indespensible number jersey; never out of date, as number “ten” here demonstrates. 4. Tee-shirts advertising a favorite athletic store were also popular this year. Fashions The guys were effected little by 5th Avenue dictum, and the athletic look triumphed once again this year. Blue jeans and cords topped comfortable NIKES, and cowboy boots. Tops varied only so far as to what was printed on them. Number jerseys and tee-shirts advertising a favorite athletic store were big hits. As many people attended the rock concerts, shirts printed with various rock groups became numerous, a notable difference in styles from the sober suits, ties, and wing tip shoes of a century ago. Homecoming Events Of Past Revived Student council’s careful planning for Home- coming led to a week full of activities, many of them new or reinstated. From September 22 to 27 the Raiders prepared to “Nuke New Rich- mond”. Students arrived Monday morning to find three magnificent class posters adorning the commons. Monday was also sock and shoe day. This guaranteed 100% student participation. That night was the show-down between the senior and junior girls in the reinstated powder puff football game. The senior girls proved dominant in the game and “nuked” the juniors with a 28 to 0 victory. Tuesday was devoted to wigs and make-up. There were a few old men and blond “sweet- hearts” roaming the halls. Wednesday was backwards day. On Thursday wild cowboys gal- loped through the halls. Blue and white clothing were the predominate colors on Friday as stu- dents made their way to Newton field for the pep fest and class competition. Students were greeted at the field with music pouring out of the P.A. Dianne Harden was the M.C. of the day. Seniors took a big first place in the obstacle course. Next came a wheel-barrow race and the balloon toss which nearly ended in a water war between classes in the stands. The sophomores humiliated the upperclassmen by triumphing in the tug of war, but were put in their place trying to beat the faculty. Finally the decorated cars appeared, added this year “on probation”. The juniors drove away with the car judged best. 16 - Homecoming 1. A smooth convertible is the perfect formula for a swell time at the sock hop. 2. Buxom pompom boys cheer on the girls at the powder puff. 3. The juniors carried away first prize for their nuked tiger cat. 4. Despite determined effort by the seniors, the staunch sophomores captured the tug-O-war title. 5. A few seniors put in nearly 22 hours creating their masterpiece of school spirit engineered by Julie Mar- son. 6. Teri Metzger whisks through the obstacle course representing the juniors. 7. Sophomores celebrate their victory in the tug o-war. Homecoming To top off the week, the Raiders won their first homecoming game in three years with a stunning 14 to 8 victory. At halftime the queen candidates were escorted around the track in antique cars. The mighty seniors claimed the poster contest points with their iron-clad Raider. Seniors ended the evening with the spirit bell in their hands. The band then moved onto the field to perform and met with a wall of football payers in a colos- sal collision. At the end of the game, all that was left of the New Richmond team was nuclear waste. The dance on Saturday culminated a busy homecoming week with the queen corona- tion. Dates were picked up, dinner eaten and then off to the dance featuring the band Country Gentlemen. At 9:30, the magic mo- ment commenced. Candidates Julie New- berg, Stacy Dahl, Terri Raley, Jenny Wal- lace and Chris Gratz glided out and took their place on the stage. After much weaving in and out among the line, last year’s co- queens crowned Chris Gratz Homecoming queen ’80. Each Class Claims Major Victories 1 18 — Homecoming 1.

Bev Fanning Crowned Pepper Fest Queen The 1980 North Hudson Pepper Festival offered its usual variety of activities including; food booths, softball tournaments, a dunk tank, beer garden, a carnival and a rainy parade. The highlight of the festival was the crowning of the queen. The candidates, all junior girls, were in- troduced on Saturday during the parade. The coronation took place on Sunday evening, after the girls had been interviewed by judges. Bev Fanning received the crown and title of “Pepper Queen.” Kelly Spain and Michelle Rivard became the Princesses. They will join God- father Tom Dabruzzi in represent- ing North Hudson this year. 1 Princesses Michelle Rivard and Kelly Spain. 2. Bev Fanning becomes pepper queen. 3.

They participated in a fashion show, visited the Twin Cities Today Show, and attended numerous luncheons and teas. The activities culminated at the Hudson Hospital Auxiliary Snoball on January 18. Under decorations of kites and balloons, displaying the “Up, Up and Away theme, Missy Strehlo was crowned Miss Hudson.” Jamie Davis was named 1st Princess and Marilyn Hause was named 2nd Princess. Winning the Miss Congeniality Award was Lena Fontainhas. 1.

Katy Kelly, and Miss Conge- niality Karen Lee, ride in the new Hudson Belle II Hostage Breakthrough, Reagan For 1980-81 was a rather monumental year, besides, of course the face that it was the 100th year of H.H.S. The big headline topper was the release of our 52 hostages by Iran after about 444 days in captivity. When they returned, they were received by many celebrations and millions of yellow ribbons which were donned to express our relief. Another issue which was gladly concluded was the question of “Who shot J.R.?” We diligently stayed glued to our television to find out that “the mistress did it.” A much more realistic murder attempt that did succeed also shocked America. The death of Beatles musician John Lennon threw some of us into real grief. Lennon, who was murdered near his apartment in New York, meant much to the people, especially those from the 60’s generation. Election time was different from other years in the respect that we had three main contenders instead of the usual two. Independent candidate John Anderson had us wondering for awhile but in the end Ronald Reagan prevailed by a large margin. Closer to home, Hudson also had a few events. The new obscenity ordinance raised a few eyebrows but was passed with little or no resistance. Also new was the hockey dome which cost us approximately 75,000 dollars. All in all it was an extremely eventful year that in no way could be compared to the years of 1880-81. Lennon Die President, Who Shot J.R., 1. The founder of America’s famous Kentucky Fried Chicken chain. Colo- nel Sanders, passed away. 2. President Jimmy Carter.

It was discovered this year that Saturn had more rings than was previously thought. 7. Ayatullah Khomeini, was responsible in part for the holding of our 52 hostages. 8. Hudson's new Hockey Dome went up in January. Happenings 23 Students have to let off steam after a hard day of thinking. School organizations offer a place to socialize, release pent up energies and accomplish the goals they set for themselves. From AFS to Debate there is a place for everyone and hopefully these activities were used to the advantage of each student. Final Year For Superintendent Kelly The 99th anniversary of HHS was marked by far-reaching changes in the administration. In the midst of contro- versy and strong emotions on both sides, Dr. William Kelly resigned from his post as superintendent, refusing the contract approval voted in by the school board. The school district also lost its director of instruction, Dr. Rog- er Bauer. He resigned to accept the job of superintendent for Woodruff, Wisconsin. Robert Scheffen comment- ed that a replacement should be found by April. In the past, parents never found out about some of the “skip outs” of stu- dents. Assembly bill 1075 changed all that and a new attendance policy was initiated. Office secretaries spent hours writing out truancy notices and sending them to parents. There were goof ups and some complaints about the cost, but some potential skipping out was eliminated. Athletic director James Luedtke convinced the school board that the soccer club should be a full fledged W.I.A.A. team next year. Principal Noel Schumacher Athletic Director Counselor James Luedtke “I’ve always been interested in children; to help them reach their commitments and give them neces- sary qualifications and education is an important part of that. When 1 think back to the depres- sion, you didn’t have much choice. An education wasn’t worth it be- cause you couldn’t get a job any- way, that doesn’t exist now. Later on in the 1950's, students were quite serious about getting an education and finding their place in the world. Those places they used to search for have changed. There’s much more competition for jobs now, because technology is replacing some jobs, and the energy crisis has made others obsolete. In the 1960’s when students found out they had rights, it changed everyth- ing. Dress and types of dancing, the clothes they wear, hairstyles, activities everything. I think television has changed society most. You’ve got instant knowledge of everything thats happening the world over. You’ve got to make decisions much more rapidly. Parents have less control over their children than they used to, though they love them as much, but the world situation makes it more difficult to guide them.” W.G. Heiting, Principal from 1953-1974, chemistry physics teacher for 9 years at H.H.S. Vice Principal Robert Scheffen Counselor Mary Crownhart 26 — Administration Superintendent Dr. William C Kelly A Bit Of Portugal Brought To Hudson ' The AFS Club is a support organization for foreign exchange students. They sold concessions at football games and organized a get-together for past exchange students Although there was only one AFS student visiting Hudson this year. Lena Fontainhas made up for the shortage with her friendly and outgoing personality. Lena, from Portugal, stayed with the Emil Gratz family. Lena said she didn’t expect to be chosen because the 18 year olds have a better chance. “You can choose the United States or Europe or the rest of the world, and then they assign you a country and family.” Lena explained. “I didn't want to go to Europe because 1 had lived in Portugal for 16 years. All we know about the United States is from movies and magazines She concluded that America is not all craziness like most Europeans believe “1 can't judge the whole U S. on Hudson. she said, but the way people act is really different. They are closer I like this school a lot.” Lena found some differences in school systems. “In Portugal we must have three years of Portuguese history before we get to the first world war, but here I’m only in the third quarter and we’re to the war. because your country is so much newer than ours Lena plans to go to college and study international relations and art in Portugal 1 Mrs Sjoquist and Mrs. Neu- man try to come up with fund raising ideas 2.

The staff worked hard to follow the theme, reproducing old photographs and interviewing past students of H.H.S. to authenticate the copy. The anniversary theme was meant to tie the present to the past and give students a feeling for the traditions of the school. Carla Phillips, a new teacher at H.H.S. also took over the job of advisor for the book for the first time. She brought with her fresh ideas and encouragement which was greatly appreciated by the staff. “It was a big job, and a lot to worry about”, said Mrs. Philips,” but it was also a rewarding experience.” The annual staff almost tripled in size from the preceding year due to the interst of many incoming sophomores. The returning senior members brought their experience and dedication to the staff, lending a hand at teaching the new workers the ropes. Tri- Editor Shannon Ewing stated; “I felt it was a good year, really a challenge and a lot of fun too.” Amy Black agreed, and also said that, “It’s a difficult job, we had a lot of late night deadlines, but due to the work of the staff we managed to produce something worth reading.” TBA 2.

TBT TBT consisted of a very interesting staff this year, according to adviser Richard Gustafson. It was an extremely young staff with many new sophomore members. “It’s become a good learning experience for them, as it takes a full year before the new reporters become comfort- able with their jobs”, stated Gustafson. The TBT Staff was not afraid to tackle the more difficult stories. This year was marked with a lot of controversey- problems in the athletic department, Superintendent Kelly’s re- signing, grading in the music department, allot- ments of coverage- but the staff jumped right into these issues. Although TBT was characterized by many typing errors, they always produced well writ- ten stories. Several other changes took place in Room 309, such as a change of editors between the semesters, due to the early graduation of Betsy Sandberg. Will Ruemmele and Layne Merritt were named the new editors. A few members of TBT and Gustafson built a composition table which made production night much easier and more organized. TBT had a successful conference in Eau Claire. Brook Lowry won the Editor’s Cup, being the first TBT member to do so. The newspaper also took honorable mentions in edi- torials and 1st place in photography. Altogeth- er it was a very successful year. 30 - TBT 1) Editorial Staff: (front row) Layne Merritt, assistant sports editor; Jackie Meulemans, production editor; Betsy Sandberg, editor: Debbie Milkes, news editor: Will Ruemmele, assistant sports editor: (back row) Richard Gustafson, advisor: Paul Rebholz, business editor: Monte Stewart, sports editor; Greg Peterson, photography editor; Dave Feyereisen, advertising editor. 2) TBT Staff: (front row) Pam Christopher.

Emily Hause, sophomore, found it common to take her shoes off in the middle of a debate and just toss them aside. Ken Hawkinson, sophomore, would eat a full course meal during other student debates. Mark Norlander, Junior, was the “Starburst king” of debate. He seemed to never appear at debate without his bag of starbursts. Jeff Burton, sophomore, was an ideal debator. He knew his work and he knew it well- no doubt. Terri Kleist, sophomore, would toss away all note cards and try to use logic. Sean O’Malley, sophomore, was seen scurrying out of his debate and running to another to get more notes. There are many other debaters who also contributed greatly but the greatest contribution was not made by the debators but by their coach, Craig Lewis. He admired their styles, he laughed with them when they did well, and sneered at them when they didn’t. All in all it was a fun season, congratulations to JV for their trophy winning year! 1 Mark Norlander tries to get his point across. 2. Back row■ Mr. Lewis. Malt Owens, Jeff Burton. Sean O'Malley.

There are twelve different categories from play acting to extemporaneous speaking. The first competition for the forensic team was three invitationals. Then there were sub-district, district, and state competitions. A forensic tea was held at the end of the season to give out awards. “This year’s forensic team was excellent,” comments supervisor, Mr. Lewis. “We have former forensic stu- dents, all the debate team members, plus some new students.” All these qualities led the Forensic team on to victory.

FFA F.F.A. started their active year by electing officers, and sending Pat Kinney, and Doug Johnson to the Na- tional Convention in Kansas City. To raise money, they sold 650 cases of fruit to the public, and ran the conces- sion stands at basketball games and wrestling matches. Also to raise school spirit they brought the Donkey Basketball game to Middle School for an evening of fund-raising and fun. In between all their other activities they held their F.F.A. Awards Banquet.

Members put in many long hours, mostly at early morning meetings, organizing the many new activities which were enjoyed by the student body. Their first major project was Homecoming. Re-instating the car competition and unique decorations for the dance were the highlights. Another unique idea was the “Battle of the Bands.” This was a great chance for students to display their talents and have some fun. The Council also displayed their talent by doing their own version of the “Muppet Show Theme.” Some of their community service activities were Toys for Tots, the penny drive which raised money for the United Way and the Eric Sampson fund. “Much of the success was due to the ideas from Shelly” stated Jill Danielson, Student Council member, “She brought back old ideas from the past and got everyone involved” but, “nothing would have been as successful as it was,” stated Student Council President Shelly Close “without the enthusiasm of the student body.” Over all, “we did an excellent job,” exclaimed Joe VanAllen, “lets see anyone else do better.” 1 Bev Fanning shows her artistic abilities by painting a Battle of the Bands poster. 2.

The German Club’s main goal this year was to raise money for their trip to Ger- many. The trip will take place in the spring of 1982. As usual they sold every thing from candy and soap, to wrapping paper at Christmas. Q., | The Spanish Club works ODciniSIl V lUU doggedly at raising funds ® for their trip to Spain. The total cost of the trip is $1300 per person. Some projects are a carwash, selling calendars, candy, and jewelry. The candy sale proved most successful. Students traveling to Spain are Mike Chica, Steve Thalacker, Bret Fogelburg, Kim Johnson, Jean Hayes, Ann Schmitz, Lisa Zappa, Susan Scheonoff, Jackie Malean, and Janice Olson. Mrs. Newman and her students will leave June 28. They will be gone 16 days, visiting the Mediterranean, Madrid (the capital), attending bullfights, and touring old castles. It will give them a chance to observe customs and use their Spanish speaking abilities learned in class. 1.

Radio And H-Club Add Class To Hudson High The members of the Pep club worked hard throughout the year to back up the different ath- letic events. They did this by making posters and arranging cheering sections at the many athletic events. To raise money for the art supplies needed in making the posters, the Pep club set up two concession stands at a home football game. They also sold Hudson caps and cowbells at the home football games. The Radio club got off to a full swing at the start of the school year but due to remodeling, went off the air for awhile. They searched for funds to get a new mixer board for controlling vol- ume. At selected times during the day they made our lives more enjoyable by providing background music. 1) Front Row: T Armstrong. M Greger son. B. Fanning. Advisor Mrs. Ronningen Back Row: S. Brown. M.

They attended a workshop in Amery and acquired many new skills and ideas. The new advisor for 1980-1981, Ms. Holmes, feels that the girls are hard workers and have accomplished a lot. She enjoys working with them and intends to continue next year. Marcia Shubat, the captain, experienced a lot of hard work but felt it was all worthwhile. Raidaires performing at half-time for the boys basketball game. The Raidaires show their skills in a synchronized kick. Keri Christiansen. Betsy Horne and Lori Berry perform with great style. Nancy Johnson takes five minutes to rest from practice. “It’s hard practice but worthwhile.” A quick practice before the ”big show”. 3 41 Raidaires The whole concept of being involved in sports means commitment to a total time consuming activity. Hours on hours are spent practicing which are usually followed by any number of sprains, pulled muscles, and maybe even a broken bone. In the end, only a few short moments of glory actually exist. Underneath the glory lie the most important factors, spirit and team involvement, which make it all worthwhile. SPORTS Parfitt Pleased With First-Year Efforts “I was very pleased with the team and their efforts this last spring,” coach Parfitt said when asked about his first year’s baseball squad. The team sported a 9-6-1 record overall, including tournament play. With many returning lettermen and experienced players from the J.V., the strong point of the team was their defense. The squad made it all the way to sectional finals with Jim Boumeester leading the pitching staff and a couple of All-Conference players on the roster, shortstop Rod Conom and center fielder Dan Klatt. An unusual occurance in the season was the 13 inning tie against North St. Paul, which was called on account of darkness in 94 degree weather. Coach Parfitt concluded, “I’m anxiously awaiting next season’s team.” Front Row: (L to R) Roy Rose, Dan Klatt. Brad Rose, Troy Klatt, Jim Schell, Steve Skaare. Jim Boumeester.

A very hectic season was planned for the girl tracksters with two, sometimes, three meets a week, and it seemed to pay off at the conference meet in River Falls. Breaking records at Conference were Kathy Sundberg, Maureen O’Keefe, the mile relay team, and Angie Feyereisen in the two mile run. Overall it was a great season with Rachel Allen being voted most valuable and Kathy Sundberg most improved. 1. Traci Hansen and Julie Newberg demonstrate a smooth handoff. 2.

Led by a group of outstanding seniors and a strong backup group of juniors, the ’80 team went down as one of the top four teams of Hudson track history. It was a super year as Hudson won their fourth consecutive Conference title in addition to being Sectional champions and winner of several Invitational titles. Five seniors advanced to the State meet. In the future as fans and team members reflect on the ’80 season it will be remembered as a strong blend of quality, quanitity, determination, dedication, lots of 440’s; all of which led to championships and many good times along the way. 1.

Coach Wilhelmson stated, “The 1980 squad had two returning lettermen, but were able to get out of some real scrapers. We had players with- out experience who really stayed in there and won tough matches.” The Netters ended their sea- son with a second place in the conference. Graduating senior, Greg Wettlson was the only member to advance to the State tournament. 48 — Boys Tennis “Pigs” Capture Conference Tennis The Girls’ Tennis team had a very impressive season, with a record of 10 - 1. Their only loss to Amery, with a close score of 5 - 4. One member of the team, Kelly Williamson held strong all season with an exceptional seasonal record 18 - 3; also qualifying for the State Tournament, in Madison, WI. Senior Williamson won her first match in State action, but lost her second match to Barb Vanshout of Menasha. She was also named Prep Athlete of the week by the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Coach Kocmoud remarked, “The girls worked hard this Fall and really earned their fourth consecutive conference championship. The team was led by seniors, Kelly Williamson, Mary Shubat and Monte Stewart. “It was their enthusiasm that made this team a champion- ship team and they will be sorely missed.” 1.

Golf Team Improves The golf team had a good season, according to Mr. Kochmoud, the coach. “I was pleased with their improvement,” he commented. The team placed fourth out of eight teams in conference play, which is a tremendous improvement over last season. There were no seniors on the varsity, so the team should be really strong this year with Greg Ohrt, John VanAllen, Randy Klawiter, John Windolff, Will Ruemmele, Leif Hallen, Eric Fehr, Mike Couch, Chris Swanson, and Carolyn McGrew returning. 1.

Van Ert commented ”We used the platoon system, with players playing both offense and defense, it gave them more time to play and more experience”. The players felt they could have won more of the games but mistakes late in the game prevented them from doing so. We re looking forward to next year, we have some talented Junior High kids coming up.” V.V I Wr N Cheerleaders: (l-r) Margeret Wells. Cara Lein, Julie Metzger. Michelle Rivard, Mary Baurer.

Coach Harry Kaminsky stated, “My team didn’t play up to what I expected of them, the main point we need to stress is discipline, both on and off the field.” There were many comments made by the players concerning the season. Some of them were: Brian Flatt: ”It was a fun year, but it would have been a lot more fun if it had been a winning season.”. Tom Barber: “Mr. Kaminsky should be given more re- spect. The team lacked in discipline.” Bob Holton (Manager): “We gave each team a good game. Pat Harper(Captain): “We had internal prob- lems with the tea Bruce Wang: “High school footbal Tiould stick to tjie basics and be more fun for the players. Training was Scott Appleton: “Those morning practices were rough!” J.V. Varsity Displays Team Spirit Many new players were introduced to the Jr. Varsity volleyball team this year. Ending with a conference re- cord of 13-11, Coach Sjoquist commented, “Our record didn’t do justice to some of our play, however, we have many sophomores who are good for building a strong varsity squad.” One of the players stated, “Our team had so much spirit, I think that that had a lot to do with our winning. Practice was hard but we learned many new plays that will help us next year.” 1. Jr Varsity players watch their teammates in anticipation of a victory.

Volleyball Varsity Volleyball Shows Talent The varsity volleyball season ended with a conference record of 17-13. Coach Noreen commented, “We have been conference champions two years in succession, so we were the team everyone wanted to beat. Our biggest prob- lem was the fact that we had the talent, but we weren’t able to blend it. We had difficulty balancing out our strengths and weaknesses.” Even though the team lost six varsity players due to graduation. Coach Noreen feels the younger gained enough experience to benefit the team next year. The goal for next year is to pull together and work as a unit. 1 Cherie Evenson looks on as Pam Sagehorn spikes the ball. hr: Coach Noreen. Jackie Gornick. Beth Peterson. Terri Metzger.

Volleyball - Girls Swim Team Falls Short “This year’s swim season didn’t compare well to last year’s efforts, due to the loss of some of the senior top swimmers. There will be an even bigger loss next year but I think the team can be built back up to past standards,” said team member Theresa Terwilliger. Even though the team didn’t do as well as in the past, some of the younger swimmers im- proved their form and times. Overall the team won more than they lost.

Coach Mary Lau was all praise for both the team work and the individual performances. “The skill that the girls started with at the beginning of the year, and where they are going is outstanding.” she stated. The team consisted almost entirely of sophomores and a few juniors, and they got along well together, and made a very compatible team. Over all the season was one to remember. J.

Traci Peterson, Shelly Close, and Mary Shubat shared the captainship. Coach Florian Cassutt felt that even though all the girls played well together these three seniors were the back- bone of the team. Also he stated that the team won every game they should have and he was very satisfied with their teamwork and effort. 1st picture- Julie Steffel leaps for the ball, while Shelly Close watches on. 2nd picture■ Front row- Terri Metzger, Sue Olson.

Girls Basketball I Individual Efforts Make For A The 1980-81 edition of the Hudson Basketball team found itself on a bumpy road, with some early season difficulties and maturing as the season progressed. After finding themselves out of the conference title chase, the Varsity pulled the upset of the season as they dumped confer- ence co-leader Amery on their home court. Seniors Rod Conom, Tom Anderson, and Mike Chica led the improving Raiders as they strove to peak for tournament play. Other Seniors seeing their last action on the court were: Mike Hall, Dan Klatt, Chipper Clark and Jim Schell. The Raider J.V. was consistently impressive, losing very few games. Scott Hayes, Scott Amborn, and Scott Benoy balanced out the team. The J.V. dominated the conference with their inside and outside play. Battling over a few close games the HHS basketball program headed by Coach Bob Heidenreich and assisted by Larry Parfitt and Steve Shaw were left with plenty of reason to be optimistic about the future. 1 1.

Boys Basketball Successful Varsity And J.V. Season J.V. Grapplers Have The J.V. Wrestling Team got off to a rough start according to the new coach, Mr. Braun. The team had a few problems and were unable to fill the 105, 138, 145, 185 and heavyweight classes all year, according to Mr. Braun and Mr. Eggen. As the season pro- gressed, the team pulled together and worked as a unit. “We did have some bright moments as Steve Graham at 112 lbs. Greg Hustat at 119 lbs. won their respective weight classes at the New Richmond J.V. tournament,” stated the coaches. “It was a good season, but the forfeits hurt the team,” one team member ex- pressed. Rough Season 1) Mr Braun yells encourage- ment to a wrestler on the mats. 2) Hudson Grappler, Lon Gron- seth struggles for a pin. 3) The referee positions Steve Graham for the start of his match. 62 - J.V. Wrestling 1 Varsity Wrestling Take First In Invitational The Varsity Wrestling team ended the season with a 6-4 record. They took first place in the Rice Lake Invita- tional, second in the Hudson Invitational and fourth in the conference in Hudson too. “It was one of the most balanced teams we had in the most recent years” John Feia stated.

Boys Wrestling — Soccer Team Successful In Second Year The soccer team’s second year was highlighted by their 5-5- 2 record, which was an improvement over last year’s record of 3-7. Coach John Ewing was pleased with this, stating “The team was in every game. They were very competitive against the high level of competition we faced.’ The team was also pleased with the season. “Everybody on the team was equally important.” Said Senior Greg Ohrt, “No one person dominated. Coach Ewing is really great too.” Ewing is optimistic for next season because they’re only losing one Senior, Greg Ohrt. “We’ve built a strong foundation to go on,” stated Ewing. “We’re hoping to win three-fourths of our games next year.” 1 Dave Hahn uses some fancy footwork as he moves the ball down field. 2.

Senior Gymnasts Injured Heading the Girls Gymnastics team this year was new Coach Gretchen Krahn and assistant Coach Jan Dosen; also helping out was manager Jeri Jensen. The majority of the team consisted of Freshman and Juniors, with very few Seniors, due to injuries. Seniors suffering injuries were Holly Hinzman and Terri Bal- dwin, but the rest of the team carried on to show good performances all around. According to Krahn and Dosen “the scores don’t necessarily reflect the girls’ performance, and the record doesn’t reflect the team’s performance either.” The team had hopes as the season concluded. 1. Holly Hinzman caught in the middle of her uneven bars routine. 2. Terri Baldwin takes a breather in the middle of practice. 3. Traci D’Addario smoothes out her routine for the next meet. 4. Coach Dosen helps gymnast keep balance on the beam.

The many different literature classes offered students a variety of choices. Some opted for the Far East with Oriental Lit. Still others decided to take a look into European Lit., and of course juniors took the required American Lit. and learned about such fine authors as Thoreau and Emerson. The composition classes learned the necessities and allowed them to expand their imagina- tion to create masterpieces. The speech classes gave most people the confidence they needed in getting their ideas across. Social Studies The Social Studies department contin- ued to live up to its standards of excel- lence this year. Juniors were diligently Gerald Heikkila taught the facts of U.S. history, and sen- iors the ins and outs of American govern- ment. Various elective courses were of- fered as usual to interested students, and to these was added a new course in Rus- sian History. The course; developed to introduce to the students the history and customs behind today’s Soviet Union, proved to attract a high amount of inter- est among the student body, and Mr. Bowman; who teaches the class stated that he was pleased with the outcome. 1.

Mr. Fegely Mr. Lindgren 74 — Business Home Economics Home Economics students had a variety of choices this year for classes which tried to cov- er subjects like, foods and nutrition, textiles, family relations, children, housing and consum- er education. These classes prepared students to live inde- pendently in the family or working world; also to be able to manage their dollars to the great- est advantage. These skills could prove to be very useful in this day and age. 3 1. Ginger Strutz has the look of a frustrated cook while Mark Hedin and Michele Ruyak look on 2. Scott Newman.

Mrs. Qualls Mrs. Vincent a Industrial Education The Industrial education program provided an opportunity for students to develop skills in vocational and technical areas. These skills gave students minimal job entry to apprenticeship in such areas as carpentry, welding, auto-wrecker, mechanic, draftsperson or cabinet-maker. In woods class, students could construct stereo or gun cabinets. A scale model brass cannon was a project in general metals. Welders produced log splitters for themselves. Architectural drafting students designed their own house plans. In machines class, students learned to maintain their vehicle and build complete small engines. Doug Fladeboe Steve Shau Philip Braun Dale Vanert 76 - Ind. Ed. Agriculture Agriculture courses had great value to future consum- ers and homeowners, but they also explored a variety of professions in agri-business, and agri-production. The careers of farmer, processor, purchaser, retailer, imple- ment dealer, veterinarian, banker, and horticulturist were investigated. Students took field trips and listened to speakers as well as practicing skills like maintaining and building farm equipment, making terrariums, raising and butcher- ing chickens, and caring for the school lawn, shrubs and trees. Speakers who supplemented the classes were a feed mill and animal nutrition expert and a technician who explained the practice and purpose of artificial insemina- tion. A field trip was made to the North Hudson veterinar- ian clinic where students learned about animal care and owner responsibility. Students visited Baldwin to view the latest automatic milking machines. At the University farm at River Falls, they could handle and learn about livestock. A trip was taken to a slaughterhouse where students saw the butchering, bleeding and other pro- cesses which transform live cattle to a carcass and then into meat cuts. 1.

The students have modern text books which are enhanced by Mr. Schubert’s slides of Germany. Many students learned about the German way of life in order to prepare themselves for a future trip. Mr. Schu- bert’s first hand experiences added to the excitement of the class. Spanish An extra added feature for this year’s Spanish Department was a Spanish 4 Class. Students spent a few minutes of each class listening to popular Spanish songs. The main goal was to speak as much Spanish in class as possible. The class planned a field trip in the Spring to a Spanish concert. And a week was dedicated to cooking Spanish delicacies. 1. Lots of German pictures are displayed in the classroom. 2, Mr Shubert shows the students the better eating places in Germany. Mrs. Newman Mr. Shubert — GermanSpanish Art Students enrolled in the art classes this year were greeted by a new teach- er. Mrs. Phillips, Formerly a free lance artist before taking up teaching, stated that she found HHS a friendly, warm atmosphere in which to work. “I was very pleased with the number of tal- ented and dedicated art students. 1 en- joyed working with the classes,” said Mrs. Phillips, “and was excited with the quality of many of the projects completed.” The students benefited from Mrs. Phillips experience and optimistic out- look. The drawing classes worked ex- tensively in figure drawing, many new techniques were explored in ceramics, and the results of the fibers classes were displayed by multi-colored batiks and bright tapestries. 1. A familiar sight in the art room is the pile of finished pots ready to be fired. 2. One of the fabulous displays. 3. A substitute teacher visits the class. 4.

Another new boys Phy. Ed. teacher, Mr. Braun, also the drafting teacher was added. Mr. Kaminsky instructed a new weight training class and an adaptive Phy. Ed. class. Students of both sexes were offered the option of the weight program of the traditional Phy. Ed. class. Lifting, running and general overall conditioning were a big part of the weight training class. The adaptive class was for students who had medical problems. The other Phys. Ed. classes spent time learning the rules and techniques of group sports, such as team handball, speed-away and frisbee games. These skills developed coordination as well as a lifetime activity. Mr. Ewing 80 - Phy. Ed. Drivers Ed. With inflation raising the price of gas and cars both, the price of driving cars is also rapid- ly increasing. Nevertheless, every teen looks forward to being able to drive his own car. Driver’s Education is a class that teaches the basic training to the student. It is “ a neces- sary class that will give a basic training that will be used the rest of your life,” says Phillip Brackley. 2.

Mr. Heidenriech Chorus The Vocal Department, completing their second year with choral director Elizabeth Holmes, have taken the next step in the continuing growth, the goal their director wants. Ms. Holmes intro- duced more difficult pieces to her choirs this year, and noted a definite improvement in their singing ability and attitudes. The choir music depart- ment had four major concerts this year. They consisted of the Fall and Christmas Concerts, the second annu- al Classical Concert and the Pop Con- cert. The music department offered something for everyone. There was the Concert Choir, Choraliers, Swing Choir, Woman’s and Men’s Ensem- bles, Madrigals, and for the more seri- ous musicians, music theory and music history. The Concert Choir underwent sev- eral changes last year. They added several more members bringing the to- tal to over seventy. Officers were elected: Donavon Armbruster, Presi- dent; Chris Gratz, Vice President; Denise Ventler, Secretary; and Terri Raley, Treasurer. Private Voice les- sons and sectionals were also given quarterly. The Choir improved im- mensly with not only the sound they produced, but with their attitudes as well. 82 — Chorus 1.

They sang more difficult music, writ- ten during the Renaissance Era. Several mem- bers of Madrigals went to the Renaissance Fair last fall to further their knowledge of the music they sang. Women’s and Men’s Ensemble met every Friday and Wednesday respectively. They were strong and devoted groups and, each having their own special qualities. Women’s ensemble was willing to dig and work hard on their music. Men’s ensemble was a very extroverted group, that was always willing to help in setups and cleanups for concerts. 1.

Band students enthusiasti- cally got involved in fund raising events, Pep Band and Marching Band. Ensembles such as Jazz Band, Brass Choir and the new Dix- ieland Band, added opportunities for enrichment, with lots of good times on the side. According to Negard, “the Bands and Ensembles really pulled together and made great musical progress. Overall-there is nothing that can stop the band organization from being the best they can be.” 1.

Band Health Careers The Health Careers Class, under the direction of the new school nurse, Mrs. Stodola, followed the same basic plan as the proceeding years. It was of- fered only second semester this year. The first 9 weeks were spent in a classroom environment. Basic nursing skills and health related fields were discussed in class. Many guest speakers and several field trips were planned. The class visited the New Richmond Health Center, the WIT vocational school and the Ramsey and Gillette Hospitals in St. Paul. The last 9 weeks were spent in the hospital where the students were able to experience true hospital life. They were rotated into several different departments, such as the Physical Therapy, X-ray, Activities, Acute Nurs- ing and the Convalescent Home. It proved to be a learning experience for the students. 1) Joyce Otto has her ears tested by Laurie Berry. 2) Dan Kinney. Dave Halverson, and Mark Mullen practice with the stethoscope, and take Mark's blood pressure. 3) Peg Rose takes Pam Buhr's pulse and tempera- ture. 4) The Health Careers Class spends time discussing different Health related fields. 90 - Health Careers Alternative Classes The two alternative classes offered this year were Studio Art and Contemporary Government. The Studio Art class was involved for most of the semester in the creation of a mural for the kitchen. This was a group project that involved most of the class, while the remaining members worked on their individual projects. The Alternative Government classes had a large tur- nout of interested students. Instructor Jon Ronning stat- ed however that due to the fact that the classes were only partially successful there would be changes in the structure of the class in the future. Both classes were designed to involve students in independent projects of their own choice, while still retaining some class structure. 1. Mr Ronning conducts an Alternative Governments class. 2. The Studio Art class's mural in progress, Lena Fontainhas and Rhea Haglund work diligently. 3. Todd Schmitt carefully glazes his pot. 4 Alternative Government students Marty O'Connell and Phil Kadidlo put the finishing touches on their slide project. 91 Alt Classes — School Help Art Forester has many duties within the school and school district. Some of these duties are the purchasing of audio visual hardware for the school. Organizing the sound system at the football and basketball games are also included in his job. He enjoys the variety of tasks he accomplishes during the day. He is also very fond of the students in the high school. Elaine Preston’s ready smile and busy typewriter make the teacher’s day much easier. She always seems eager to help with typing and other numerous duties. The day is very busy for Mrs. Molly Kaiser and Mrs. Judy Campbell as they answer phones, type, make out attendance records, and help students and teachers all day. Without these aides, helpers, secretaries, janitors, and other contri- butors, the school simply would not run as smoothly as it does.

Mrs. Kaiser Office Secretary Mrs. McGrew Aide to Nurse and Counselors Mrs. Stodola Nurse School Help j The sophomore class has always been known to be somewhat confused and they’ve been looked down upon by the upperclassmen. The term sophomore in Greek means wise fool. This is somewhat insulting, but everyone lives through it. The junior class rose to the ranks of upperclassmen and, much to the fear of townspeople, most have their driver’s licenses. Maybe next year they can be the mighty seniors. The senior class has always felt that they held claim to the title of “the best class yet” though others may disagree. This was their last year and “go for it” seemed to be the motto.

Class spirit was high throughout the year. This showed when they set out to raise money for the Jr.-Sr. Prom. They dutifully sold candles, carnations and Happenings Books. The candles were the big money raisers. The Juniors had high hopes for the ’81 Prom. The Juniors were active in academics as well as sports. Trigonmetry and Chemistry frightened many. The Junior athletes added to many of the school sports. Once the Seniors left the Juniors looked forward to the coming year. They had the making of a great class.

Following the class of 1980 was difficult enough as it was, and the senior class tried hard to follow their act. Seniors spent the year trying to defeat the stigma of being an apathetic class, and this presented itself in many ways. The winning of the cowbell at homecoming for the first time was one success well deserved for the hours spent working on the poster and car as well as the joint effort put forth in the yelling contest and the field events. What the class of ’81 did best though were the rituals that many seniors have performed since 1881, the excitement of senior year. Pictures had to be taken and exchanged among all friends and acquaintances, and seniors ordered announcements and were measured for caps and gowns before they were even ready to think about graduation as closer than far off on the horizon. An answer had to be thought over to the question of “What next? , as many participated in the College Fair and took college boards, or planned for vocational school and the all important job. The class of 1981 had one-hundred years of tradition behind them, and they did their best to live up to the challenge; the challenge of senior year.

And yet, at the same time, the year went so fast that it didn’t seem as though there were any months at all between August and May; well, maybe a couple of short ones. Mere classmates suddenly seemed like the dearest of friends, and friends even more important. At the thought of leaving familiar faces that were a part of our lives for twelve years of growing up. So here we all are in the yearbook. The class of 1981, assembled in neat rows in alphbetical order. To outsiders we look like any high school class. To us though, every face has a memory of youth and growing up behind it.

It was a year of happiness, sadness, parties, concerts, and sporting events. ( Many Seniors had jobs to earn the necessary “bucks”. One of the biggest surprises was to see Seniors dressed up to defend their case in their law class. Mr. Bowman was a favorite of everyone’s. He always managed to get a laugh with his famous, “Buck Up! And be as happy as you can with what you get.” And remember what you told your parents when they asked about the truancy slip that came in the mail? Oh, the joys and privileges of being a SENIOR!!

I was sassy, but I loved High School”, recalls 100 year old Marie Helwig when asked about her High School years. Marie lived in Hudson all her life on Second Street in a place where her parents ran a boarding house and bakery. This is where Marie got the opportunity to become Hudson’s first telephone operator. At her families boarding house she met some men who were setting up the new telephone lines around Hudson. She was asking a lot of questions so they in turn asked Marie if she would like to be an operator for the telephone company. “Of course said Marie; “it sounded so exciting . Marie has many recollections of High School, which include the Sixth Street school burning, the school before the Fourth Street school, now the Middle School. She enjoyed watching the Hudson Football team, but she says there were no clubs back then to join. Marie graduated around 1896 and when asked if she thinks she has changed through the years she stated no I’m still sassy” Marie Hellwig. now a resident of the Hudson Convalescent Home. Augusta Odenwald, a 1913 graduate of H.H.S., claims she was extremely shy in High School and still is. Augusta also remembers the Sixth Street school burning, though she was very young. Her brother played basketball for Hudson High, and she remembers that the Hudson Football was good,“because, they were, well; Hudson.” Augusta died in January 1981.

Thanks and Good Luck with the next One Hundred years, Tri- Editors Amy Black, Beth Bergman, Shannon Ewing We hope this an- nual is a book of memories for all stu- dents. An annual should reflect the moods and manners of the school, and the people that make it more than just four concrete walls. Although no one’s stay in high school is permanent, each class leaves its mark in a page of the school’s history. With the 100 year anniversay edi- tion we wanted to illustrate, and celebrate the fact that 100 years of memories stretch between this year’s graduating class and the first. We hope that you the reader, the administration, alumni, and future alumni, feel that we achieved our goal. For you are Hudson Senior High School. This annual is not only yours, it is about you, and the traditions you keep alive. It’s about how you live and the things you hold important. This annual is for you.
