The 1968 Hudsonian Yearbook staff was proud to dedicate the yearbook to their advisor, Mrs. Ruth Weisenfelder. Mrs. Weisenfelder became advisor for the Hudsonian in 1962. She received her B.A. degree from the University of Michigan and has also attended Denison University in Ohio. Since 1953 when Mrs. Weisenfelder joined the staff of Hudson Area High School, she has taught many subjects including English II and English IV, Geography, World History, and U. S. History. In the 1960 Hudsonian yearbook Mrs. Weisen- felder stated that one of her pet peeves was, “Girls and women who expect and accept courtesy from boys and men but neglect to say thank you.” Her comment on seniors was “a conglomeration.” This year Mrs. Weisenfelder was quoted as saying, “One of my pet peeves is women who when driving, pass without looking for oncoming cars.” In the past six years Mrs. Weisenfelder has spent many long hours in and out of school working with students on the Hudsonian yearbook to produce a bigger and better one each year. Several years ago, one of Mrs. Weisenfelder’s brighter students decided to play a typical high school prank on her. He put a little Prince Charming in her desk drawer; but when she opened the drawer, it had changed back into a real, live frog. From that day on, Mrs. Weisenfelder has had the nickname of “Frog.” She had been called “Frog” for such a long time that it has now become an en- dearing, familiar word around school. A special thanks to Mrs. Weisenfelder from Linda, Kathi, Jan, Mike, Terry, Joyce, Carol, Darlene, Terry, Lynn, Pat, Gary, Ron, Neal, and Rick, for making the 1968 Hudsonian the biggest and best ever. One final note of thanks for a job well done from Mr. A1 Weatherly, Jr. of A1 Weatherly Son our Hudsonian publisher. Thank you Mrs. Weisen- felder for being a warm and friendly yearbook sponsor. One who was always willing to work with the staff and meet page deadlines. This in turn has lead to this fine 1968 Hudsonian. 7

Our Superintendent, Mr. Ferman, ponders seriously over another Mr. Ferman’s smiling and efficient secretaries: Mrs. Kinsey, Mrs. school problem. Kerr, and Mrs. Wollet. Superintendent’s Office Contrary to what many people believe, the Superintendent’s office is a very busy place. There are many different facets to the organi- zation and supervision of the Hudson Area School System. Though our school system is considered small, its annual expenditures amount to $800,000. Besides the usual jobs of keeping track of the system’s finances and budget, organization of transportation, provision of school lunches, and public relations, the Superintendent’s office must also have legal information, know building maintenance, handle insurance for teachers, students, and employees, negotiate wages with the teachers, hire new teachers, set up school millage elections, buy new school equipment, and try to keep up with the text books, which are often obsolete before they hit the market. These jobs and services are done at four schools: Hudson Area High School, Leo Miller, Lincoln Elementary, and the Clayton Elementary School. The school system tries to cater to each individual’s needs. Each high school student has one or two courses every year that are required, but he may then choose any courses that please him. In this way everyone will be prepared for higher education or to get a better job. The school also serves as a source of reference and a counselor to any former student. The Superintendent’s office hopes that this is just a beginning to bigger and better things and that each student will always remember that the school is ready to serve him. whether he is still in school or out on his own. 9
