This school, Hudson's first, had a small, modest frame, but its me aning served as a gre at and bold found ati on for the Hudson High School of today. Through seventy-five years, four generations, and seven shcools, its purpose of serving the community continues. The evolution from 1890 to 1965 can easily be seen in Hudson School, but the evolution of Hudson in the next seventy-five years can only be imagin- ed, approximated, compared and eval- uated through y e s t e rd ay and today. Hudson School will exist as long as the desire to progress remains. 1 w w 1 N N N i i 1

Hudson Highs Diamond Pat Myers, Debbie Smith, Pat Story, and Johnny Re ary browsed through the 1929 Mountain View, Hudson's first annual, while Don Wall admired the picturesque sky- line of the same magnificent mountain view. Recalling the p ast with affection but only momentarily, the page s of time will be turned back three-quarters of a century in this, the 1965 Hornet, which celebrates Hudson Schools' dia- mond anniversary. It was not the desire of the staff to dwell on the past, only to glimpse a part of our heritage. We glance at the first sch ool, the first homecoming queen, and the first grad- uating class. It would be impossible to record all the important events of the p ast, but we believe that, in a small way, we can pay tribute to the fotuiders of this institution. I d e a 1 i s t s conceived and perhaps visioned much more than their means of accomplishment. These founders laid the foundation which has proved to be a durable one. As we pause for a moment, note a small community that r e c og n i z e d a great need. That need was for a place to educate their children for more than tilling the land for a living, but to ed- ucate them to meet a bright and prom- ising future in which they could ad- vance along with the ever-changing channel of life. From the first generation until now, each has added, each has built, and each has hoped for something better for his children. All this had not been done quickly or easily, time has paid heavily for their ac q u i ri n g. Many times the building and purpose of the institution seemed d e s t i n e d for destruction, but again the founders endeavored to give 8 to future generations much more than they had ever acquired. 4 Today time moves quickly on, the future beckons and crowds in upon us. We must tell the story of today, a history-making year that will be re- membered by 1,100 students as a part of their life that can never be changed or forgotten. In this, the twenty-second volume of the Hornet, we have not compared boastfully with the past, but rather htunbly. We know that the present is a realization of a community's dre am. Let us hope that each who is recorded in these pages will prove to have been a significant link in the he rit ag e of personal development and productive living.
