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.

Anniversar Serving both as waitresses and performers at the annual Junior Senior Prom are sopho- more girls Sandy Starnes, Sharon Day, Sherry Sullivan, Becky Smith, Karen Whitener, Lynn LeFever, Dianne Griffin, Linda Hicks, Pat Shoemaker, and Brenda Frye. A sig n flashing in blue lights the words, STORK CLUB, greetedthe 1964 senior as he entered the romantic world created by the junior class. Enter- ing the Crystal Room escorted by one of ten doormen, he saw that the vast gymnasium had been converted into a characteristic night club setting com- plete with majestic chandeliers, mosaic mirrors, and a beautiful fount ai n of bubbling color. The festivities began. Waiters and waitresses buzzed back and forth busily. Couples began dancing. The audience was entertained by two floor shows. Pictures were taken. All too soon the prom ended leaving afeeling of nostal- gia. Taking miniature top hats, punch- stained menus, and candy cigarettes as souvenirs, the senior looked back for last time. What he saw there was his last prom-a night never to be for- gotten. 9 Finding an empty sp a c e on the floor of the Crystal Room, Bobby Taylor and Glenda Eller dance to the dreamy music of the Diplo- mats. Se ni or s from the surrounding city and county schools we re invited to tour Hammary Man- ufacturing Company on Senior Day in Industry. Mr. Thomas G. Terrell, vice-president of the company presented the key of industry to the seniors.
