123 JOHN ALESSANDRO john, who is known as Kid Brooklyn to his friends, left us in his sophomore year to go to Lawrence High in Brooklyn and returned to Hudson this year. When. asked about his hobbies, John answered baseball and girls. That's quite a combination, Kid , After graduation, John plans to join the Navy. PETER H. AVERY, JR. Peter, better known to us as Pete, considers graduating his greatest ac- complishment, Next year, though, Pete will miss Projection Club, of which he was an active member for four years. Taking up some of his spare time is that certain senior girl to whom he is engaged and who naturally figures in his plans for the future. Without a doubt, H.H.S. will miss Pete's eternal smile and happy-go-lucky ways. TRACY ALEXANDER Tracy, nicknamed Skip by his friends, is that quiet senior boy in H.R. 354. Tracy participated in bas- ketball in his junior year and he was a member of the F.F.A. during his sophomore year. He chooses industrial arts as his favorite subject. Tracy is undecided about what he will do upon graduation, but we all hope he will reach whatever goal he sets. CHARLANNE BAILEY Charlanne is the exception to the rule beautiful, but dumb . During her four years, she has held offices in the National Honor Society and Forum, was president of her class in her sopho- more year, and ably presided over the Student Council this year. Charly , as she is better known, especially by a certain senior boy, was twice elected Syracuse Citizenship delegate and was the DAR Good Citizen this year. Charlanne will certainly be missed for the fine job she has done. DOLORES M. ALGER Ollie is that talkative classmate of ours found in H.R. 351. Dolores spends many of her free periods work- ing on the business staff of the Blue and Gold and on the Owl typing staff. She is always welcoming you by a pleasant smile. In the future, Ollie surely will be an efficient secretary. I af, il SALLY A. BAKER As the years go by, Sally will be long remembered for the secretarial services she has rendered. This cheer- ful girl was freshman class secretary, Student Council secretary in her junior year, and National Honor Society secre- tary in her senior year. In addition, Sally found time for both band and choir, and to make this naturally busy life even more so, she was elected to the job of Blue and Gold business manager.

HISTGRY Thespians were Robert Golding, Marsha Goldstein, Peter Ostrander, and Graham Hasbrouck. So we ended our junior year and achieved our goal of three years, being seniors. After what seemed a short summer vacation, we returned with that know-it-all look to start our senior year, which was our best and, as all will agree, our busiest year. We selected our announce- ments and name cards, received our senior pictures, were measured for caps and gowns, took final exams, and prepared for graduation. Under the guidance of Mr. Styles, our senior advisor, we chose the following class officers: Lou Payne, president, Dave Teator, vice- president, Anne Colby, secretary, Joan Belknap, treasurer, and Joan Harris and Valeria Mieske as assistant treasurers. The seniors have been very busy this year as heads of organizations. For the first time in many years, a Madam president of the Student Council was elected in the person of Charlanne Bailey with Joel Flaum as vice-president, Joan Pratt as secretary, and Glenn Dallas as treasurer. jim Esselstyn ably headed the Student Service Com- mittee, and Barbara McCulloch, Rose Marie Whiteside, and Mary Ellen Mink were chosen co-editors of the OWL. The editor-in-chief of the Blue and Gold was Wendell Fingar with Sally Baker as business manager. The DAR Citizenship Prize was awarded to Charlanne Bailey. Barry Mynter, Jim Esselstyn, Tonu Kirsimagi, Lou Payne, Tom Canape, and others excelled in varsity sports. Inducted into the NHS were Elaine Bortugno, Elizabeth Bortugno, Marsha Goldstein, Barbara McCulloch, and Audrey Pattison. After the Senior Ball and graduation, we will turn the last page in our book of class history. Then, we can look back on four memorable years, knowing that they were our most enjoyable, and look forward to many more years in which we can be proud to say that we were part of the class of '54 of Hudson High School. 1 'RK' gn

BETTY B. BARTHOLOMEW A pleasant smile and cheerful at- mosphere seem to follow Betty wher- ever she goes. This attractive senior's abilities have earned her membership in Orchestra and Dance Band besides her four years in the saxophone sec- tion of the band. Being in the Science Club and on the Blue and Gold editorial staff has also taken up much of Betty's time this year. We know Betty will be successful in her future teaching career. JOAN BELKNAP This tall senior girl with the blue eyes seems to have a witty answer for everything. Joanie's many activities have included being our veep during sophomore year, our treasurer this year, and a third Hoor monitor. Although she hails from Greenport, South Bend, Indiana is her favorite spot. Notre Dame weekends are tops , confides joan. If you wake up some morning in a hospital, joanie may be the nurse taking your pulse. 1, GLORIA BARTHOLOME-W Gloria is kept busy this year as chief typist for the Blue and Gold , a duty she enjoys very much. Glo can usually be found roller skating at Cairo on Saturday nights. Ice skating is also one of her favorite hobbies. The Christian Endeavor and Girls' League meetings also take up much of her time. Business law rates as her favorite subject. EDWARD BICJAN Ed joined the class of '54 in his sophomore year, coming from Benjamin Franklin High in New York. Ed's manner could be described in one ap- propriate word smooth . His smooth- ness has been best shown by our ex- cellent interclass basketball and soccer record, in which Ed was one of the mainstays. Ed's other activities include Student Service Committee and varsity baseball. His lush hairdo and friend- liness will long be remembered by his classmates. CATHERINE A. BARTO Cathy and talking go hand and hand, but for four years her tinkling little to hear! voice has been pleasant Cathy has participated in band and choir for four years, Girls' Ensemble for three, G.A.A. board for two years, and the Owl business staff. The class of '54 knows what state other than New York Cathy would like to be in, say Connecticut, ELAINE BORTUGNO Is it Elizabeth? No, it's Elaine, I think. Almost every student and teacher in Hudson High has at one time said this, although their closest friends say it's very easy to tell them apart. Elaine has acted as secretary of our class in her junior year and secretary of the Photo Club in her sophomore year. During their senior year, both Elaine and Betty have been kept busy in the Science Club and the National Honor Society. Us
