TRUE'25 BLUE SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Many renowned classes have graduated from Hudson High School but t.ie class of ’25 will go down in history as the most renowned. We have been leaders in all activities since we entered high school in 1921, a band cf green little freshmen, seventy strong. The first few weeks were very trying for us, however, we soon got our bearings, and since that time have proved our capacity for hearty cooperation. Hudson High School has supported no activities in which our class has not participated. Somee of the activities, in which our class has participated are: oratory, in which Theodore Howalt Ben McDiaimid and Edwin Johnson were the scho l’s repre- sentatives; declamato in which Katherine O’Rourke was cur sole hope; athletics of all kirds, our outstanding participants being: Foss, Ostby, Sdhottmuller, Jensch, O’ Keefe and Chryst. The girls also did their share in athletic contests when Ruth Tor- pey, Helen Heffron, Olive Lyksett were instrumental in bringing us the class basketball championship. Sam Jensch was editor of the 1925 Annual. In music also, we have been represented by Helen Solheim, Ruth Torpey, Celia Ryan, .Allan Covell ar.fl Lawrence Peterson. Agnes Miller, Jeanette Stayberg, Helga Staberjr. Helen Heffron and Celia Klein were indispensable to the Commercial Depart- ment in its ccntests. Yes, ,we feel that we have had a brilliant career. But we are no longer seventy strong. Our number has dwindled down to about fifty. We deeply regret the loss of two of our class mates by the hand of death, Frank Caldwell and Henry O’Keefe. Last year we lost several prominent members of our class. Margaret and Donald' Singer moved to Milwaukee, Harold Cummings to Bangor, Wis., and Marion Walker to Cal:f rnia. Sam Jensch has filled his position as president of our class with his usual ability and intelligence. For the past two years Miss Hannah Collim e has been our able class advisor. She has been very faithful and efficient in her work, and we take this opportunity to thank her for her untiring efforts in our behalf, and for her assistance in raising our class prestige. We feel that a great deal of our success is due to her hearty co peration. Our high school life is now drawing to a close, and we fe 1 a certain sense of pride in our achievements. We are all proud to admit that we are graduates of Hudson High School and members of the class of ’25. As we leave H d on High School, we feel a certair rarg of regret, and we feel that we will be greatly missed in the halls of dear old Hudson High.

'25 1925 CLASS PROPHECY It is in the summer of 1935 and the scene is laid in Paris, that wonder city of the world. The whole city is agog over the charms of the latest idol of Paris, the famous “Oriental Dancer of Mystery , whom we recognize as none other than our old friend, Frances Hill. She has won international fame for her wonderful technique as an Oriental Dancer, and she has ardent suitors from all over the world ready to lay their hearts at her feet. She has in her service Misses Helen Solheim and Helga Staberg whom she rules with a high hand, much to their chagrin. One of her most ardent suitors is Dana Foss, who is notorious as an inter- national gambler and crook. He is infatuated with Frances, and although she is really in love with Joe Olson who is a waiter in the cafe where she dances, she decides that Dana may prove useful to her sometime, so she keeps him around. One evening when Frances is dancing at the cafe and Dana is in attendance as usual, a tall slim woman comes sweeping into the cafe, accompanied by a very handsome gentleman. Joe rushes forward to usher them to a table and recog- nizes his old school mates, Victoria Garrity and Lawrence Harback. Victoria is a professional model for “Chanel in Paris and Lawrence is a salesman for the new crocheted bath-tubs which promise to become very popular. Victoria is a former sweetheart of Dana’s, and having heard that he is en- amored by the dancer, she has determined to win him hack, by fair means or foul. Dana sees his old friend, and notices, of course, her gorgeous clothes and exquisite beauty. Being of a fickly nature, he crosses over to her table, and be- gins to make ardent love to her. Frances becomes enraged, and leaves the cafe determined to take revenge. As she is driving to her apartment, she sees a great commotion on one of the corners: whereupon, she orders her chauffeur, Allan Coveil, to stop the car. He does so, and they notice to their amusement that two of their classmates are holding the center of attraction. It is Celia Ryan and Helen Heffron shamelessly quarreling. Frances leaves the car, rushes over to the girls and separates them. She learns that Celia is still trying to cut Helen out with her old admirer, Lloyd Peterson. At that moment, Lloyd strolls by with Melba Nelson, a writer of scenarios for a large film company. When Helen and Celia see this they decide that no man is worth crying and quarreling over. They thank Frances for her trouble, and hurry away to join the Anti-Men League, of which Hilda Gunderson is president. Upon arriving home Frances finds her old pal, Ruth Torpey, the famous di- vorcee, who has just secured her fifth divorce, this from Joe Schottmuller, on the grounds that he ate crackers in bed. She is going to be married again, this time to Sam Jensch, a famous physician and surgeon in New York City, and she is in Par- is to purchase her trousseau. Frances is delighted to see Ruth and tells her all about her love affairs with Joe and Dana. Ruth, who was always more or less the mercenary type of girl, listens attentively, and promises Frances her assistance. In the course of their conversation, Frances learns from Ruth that her old chums, Thelma and Teanette Stayberg, are singing in the “Greenwich Follies. and that Malcolm Bush and Oscar Jahr have worn paths to their stage door. I he next time Frances goes to the cafe to dance Ruth accompanies her. Victoria is there again with Dana. One of the other performers at the cafe is Curtis Chryst, an expert tango dancer, who has recently graduated from Prof. Ben McDiarmid’s exclusive school of dancing. hen Ruth sees Curtis she decides to break her engagemnt with Sam and employ her feminine arts in vamping Curtis. Curtis, however, is madlv in
