Hudson High School - True Blue Yearbook (Hudson, WI)

(flass of ’40 Ol CTIVITY—class and individual—in study, extra curricular, social events, and in being a successful part of the school, have been the aims of the junior class since their entrance as freshmen into Hudson High School. An enrollment of seventy-seven members gave our class the distinction of being the largest class in school. We elected Don O’Connell, president of the freshmen class and Mr. Anderson, adviser. Other officers elected were Robert O’Connell, vice president; Margaret Simonson, secretary; and Mary Cameron, treasurer. Members of the class immediately became interested in extra-cur- ricular activities and during our first year, twenty-five per cent of our class was represented in musical activities, and thirty per cent of the school’s debaters were freshmen. Many of the boys took part in basketball, and several went out for football. Dan Lyksett and Bob Williamson were awarded baseball let- ters at the close of the year. So many freshmen girls entered girls’ athletics that it was necessary to provide for two teams to represent the class. In the fall of our sophomore year, we elected Marjorie Lee, president; Bob Williamson, vice president; Maxine Bethel, secretary, and Evelyn Rydeen, secretary. Miss Lee was selected to act as our class adviser. Grasping every opportunity to gain success for our class, we actively entered the budget ticket sale and later the homecoming ticket campaign. Our class was awarded the cash prize for the sale of budget tickets and did a very commendable job in selling homecoming tickets. As sophomores, Kenneth Michaelson, Bob Miller, Erling Strom, Nor- val Olson, and Baldwin Olson well represented the class in basketball. In base- ball Erling Strom and Dan Lyksett earned letters. The sophomore team won the championship game in girls’ volleyball, and later the Norwegians’ volleyball team, captained by Solveig Michaelson took the nationality title. Besides a fine representation in band, nine of the sophomores played in the high school orches- tra. Solveig Michaelson brought further honor to the class by being chosen to represent Hudson in the league declamatory contest at Ellsworth. In the course of the year, the sophomore and junior classes sponsored (together) a dinner dance. A very large attendance made the event very infor- mal and members of both classes agreed that it was the most successful party of the year. Marjorie Lee and John Harlander, class presidents, acted as gen- eral chairmen. Marjorie Lee was again elected class president when we became jun- iors. Miss Lee was chosen as adviser and Harold Olson, Patricia Claire Ryan, and Evelyn Rydeen were also elected to hold class offices. Jean and Jeanette Frey and Elinor Adams, three of the five high school cheer leaders, belong to the junior class. Erling Strom and Norval Olson earned letters in basketball and Erling Strom, Marvin Flattum, Baldwin Olson, Dorwin Lamkins, and Dan Lyksett were awarded football letters. Marvin Flattum was elected captain of the ’39 football team. This year several juniors have taken an active part in de- bate and Ethel Ahlgren served as an alternate on the debate team which repre- sented Hudson at the Divisional Debate Tournament at Chippewa Falls. The date of the Junior-Senior Prom was set for May 5. The gen- eral prom committee was composed of Marjorie Lee, class president; Patricia Claire Ryan, invitations; David Wilcox, orchestra; Mary Cameron, programs; Evelyn Rydeen, entertainment; Janet Williams, refreshments; Clarence Noreen, decorations; Dorwin Lamkins, lighting; Esther Solheim, publicity. 20
