RUTH ANN HOUSE One of Ruth's main interests is sports. She has participated in almost every girls' sport in school and has received a letter and bar for her achievements. The G. A. A. Board also claims much of her time. Ruth's fine sense of humor keeps many of her classmates entertained. She would like to become a nurse after graduation. 6 SHIRLEY E. HUGHES Cookie , as she is called by her friends, can be found after school at the C. C. Club, of which she is an active member, or babysitting. She enjoys playing and watching softball very much. Her favorite subject is office practice. Shirley plans to go to business college and on to become a beautician. The class of '54 says good luck ! EDWARD HOWATT If there is any speed record of someone's getting to school on time from below Third Street after leaving home at 8:30 A. M., Eddy is sure to hold the record. Eddy's main interest in school has been in music. Evidence of this is his four years in band and choir. Anytime after school you can walk by his house and hear him toot- ing on that crazy horn of his. MERRILL JOHNSON Merrill, more commonly known as Peanut , is that member of the famed Claverack gang who zips around in the blue Chevrolet. He can usually be found playing his trumpet or actively engaged in discussions at either Science Club or N. H. S. scholarship meetings. Upon graduation, Merrill plans to study at Cornell to become a veterinarian, so best of luck to the living proof that the best things come in small packages. DAVID F. HUDSON Dave has gone out for baseball his last two years and has played two years of intramural basketball. He has been a member of the Projection Club, Photography Club, and is one of the two seniors who boasts of having been in the Science Club for two years. Math is his favorite subject, and he plans to follow this up by studying to become an engineer after graduation. GERTRUDE I. KELLER That small girl with the ever-ready smile and pleasing personality is better known to most of us as Trudie . She enjoys popular music and ice-skat- ing, and if you should happen to hear, Oh, George , you can be sure it's Trudy. In the fall of the year you could have found her at the football games, for she is one of Hudson High's greatest fans. lf' . BJ K ,jf S ii.

Sue includes among her likes dancing and clothes. You will usually be able to find her at the Blue Anchor after school. After graduation, Sue plans to go to college and become a medical secretary. PAUL E. HOFFMAN JR. Paul, who is another to claim Liv- ingston as his hometown, has been active in track for two years, earning his letter in that sport. Intramural basketball, interclass soccer, the Dance Club, and banking have also taken much of Paul's spare time. As for the future, Paul plans to either study business or enter Pittsfield G. E. STANLEY J. HIMMEL This good-looking senior boy can usually be found taking attendance in room 353 before 8:45. Stan's favorite pastime is hunting, but during school hours, social studies is tops on his list. Varsity football has taken up a great deal of his time after school. After graduation, Hudson High is go- ing to lose a swell guy in Stan, who plans to enter the armed forces. MARCIA S. HOLDRIDGE When a giggle can be heard through- out the halls of H. H. S., we could identify it as Marcia, that neatly dressed senior girl who can be found at her post on the First Hoor. She has been a dues collector, a member of the Owl , and Student Service Com- mitee. We want to know what could be so appealing about a song from Show Boat ? EDITH JOAN HOFFMAN This attractive senior is looking forward to a secretarial job upon graduation. The Owl circulation staff has claimed her time for the last three years. With all this, she still found time for baseball and volleyball, which earned her a place on the Girls' Athletic Association Board. Edith's smiling face and alert mind should make her an excellent secretary. , ,,,, r, fe z. V ,Q .4 BETTY JEAN HOLMES Who is that blonde bombshell or should we say more bounce to the ounce girl? Why it's none other than Betty Jean Holmes. Bet has par- ticipated actively for four years in choir, Girls Ensemble, Photography and Projection Club. In her junior and senior year she was a member of the J. V. and Varsity cheerleading squads respectively. The class of '54 wonders where Betty gets all the energy to perform her many activities so well.

Hank's favorite subject this year is business arithmetic, and after graduation, he hopes to enter the business field. WILLIAM F. KEYSER There isn't a dull moment when Bill's aroundg any member of the foot- ball team will agree to that. Bill, who hails from North Claverack, likes to go hunting or fishing whenever he gets the chance.

KUHNER Jerry has devoted his time to several school organizations, but has been outstanding in band throughout his four years, and joined the dance band in his last year.
