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

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.

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.
