The American Creed America and Americans. I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies. William Tyler Page

Dedication The Hudson Area School System has many things to be proud of. but none can compare to the deeds of the Hudson men in the armed forces. We have a heritage that dates back to the Civil War. During the Civil War Hudson, as part of Lenawee County, enlisted many men to help reunite the country. During World War I, the men of Hudson did their jobs, and did them well. Hudson sent about 150 men into battle and all gave their best to the United States. The Hudsonians wanted peace and they have striven to achieve it. But, when war came, Hudson men fought. So it was with World War II. Hudson gave in World War II from 300 to 400 of its best. These men, as did their fathers in World War I, served their country admirably. To many, their greatest sacrifice was to fall in action; while to others, the memory of those terrible battles remain. Hudson men have fought in nearly every battle from Normandy to Hiroshima. As war will be part of life, so will the Fighting Tigers be part of the services. The Korean War was only six years after World War II. There was a brief period of peace and rest for Hudson and the world. But after these years, Uncle Sam asked for volunteers to help preserve peace. Again, Hudson replied and sent numerous men to carry on the war. The men did their best, and their best was outstanding. The United States was obligated to keep on fighting to stop Communist aggression. Viet Nam is now the war to which our country is committed. From 100 to 125 Hudson men have so far experienced the ghastly and grotesque features of this war. Peace and freedom will be continually threatened. Young men over eighteen will keep fighting to pre- serve that peace. Within the space of our memory two of our recent graduates Jim Foster and Barry Becannen gave their lives in Viet Nam. Thus, we the Hudsonian Yearbook Staff of 1969 dedicate this book to you, the heroes of Hudson. 6
