Moods Music, the universal language of all mankind, came to the students in many tones. The tones of exuberancy caused their spirits to soar during the pep rallies, as the band played the fight y song. Cool tranquil tones given at concerts brought poignant memories to their minds.

Winter Wonderland, although the theme of the dance, could well have b een the title of the extended Christmas holidays as the ground was covered with ice and snow.

The Ever-Changing November 22 started out as an average day for the students at Hudson. No one thought that before the day was over the flag, which had once flown over the capital in Washington, would be flying at half-mast in tribute to Presidentjohn Fitzerald Kennedy. They had just received school pictures and returned to sixth period class, when over the intercom came the announcement, The Presidenthas been shot. For fifteen minutes voices were hushed, prayers were said, and hope was at its highest, and then the incredible turned into the real.. Again the announcer interrupted with the words which sent a shock wave, not only through the school, but across the nation and around the world. Ladies and Gentlemen, the President is dead.

With no set bed-time, the student's day usually lasts until the wee hours as he frantically tries to finish the last few pages of the novel due tomorrow, or after putting off an as- signment for a more convenient time, finds himself weary- eyed from too much cramrning. He isn't surprised the next morning that the No-Doz he devoured has worn off and his thoughts are as jumbled as the mixed nuts he ate last night. By the time he gets that test paper, though, the thoughts are straightened out and som'ehow the student has managed to take a step into tomorrow, from today, as he studies Einstein's Theory of Relativity, -and listens to Peter, Paul, and Mary.
