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.

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.

JOAN B. LUSTIBER This sweet, petite girl has a cheerful hi for everyone she meets and especially for that certain senior boy to whom she is engaged. Joan says her fiance takes up all her spare time, so she doesn't have time for hobbies. Her greatest accomplishment would have to be decided between graduation and becoming engaged. Marriage is the plan which Joan has for the future, as she hopes to be a June bride.

Jane is kept busy by her first Hoor post and by another member of the class of '54, If there were a class poetess to be chosen, this senior girl would prob- ably win, as she is well known for her poetry in the Owl , SHIRLEY R. MCTYGUE Shirl can usually be seen rushing to her post in front of the library. Due to her location she has no excuse for being late at 0-20 meetings, where she is vice-president. Even though Shirley has many stylish clothes, she never has anything to wear,-so she says. What she really wants is a nurse's uniform. In the future, if you ever have Shirley for a nurse, be sure you don't call her Red . if . ..- W l of 1 JEAN R. MAGSAMEN Jean is another athletic senior girl.
