We hope that by turning back the pages of time, you, the reader, will recall the pleasant memories of making these cherished events come true. foreword In appreciation for her never ceasing ser- vice to the school and the students, the efficient, capable work done in the office, her eagerness to help individuals, her smile and friendliness to all; we, the staff of 1945, dedicate this annual to Miss Alice Engstrom. Dedication Contents Faculty Classes Sports Activities Out of the darkness comes the light. This statement might he applied to our present state in world affairs and relations. We can begin to see the end of the war that has held mankind in its grip. ( hit of this great catastrophe we hope will emerge a greater understanding of human affairs and greater adherence to principles of Christian living. When we scan the casualty lists, we know that no community is too small or remote to have paid a price for the future. Many a home has been saddened by the sacrifices made by our youth in the cause of freedom and the equality of man. May our prayers he an- swered for a just peace and a better world. If we can he shown how to build for the finer things of life as efficiently as science has taught us to destroy, then, perhaps, we shall he able to emerge out of the darkness of despair into the light of brotherhood and fellowship of man. Then our maimed and our dead shall not have suffered in vain. May Cod help us to realize our goals. MISS KIDD Besit.es leaching physical education and first aid.

Seniors of 1945 We, the class of 1945. entered Hudson High School in September of '41 as be- wildered freshmen, hut we were eager to learn during the coming four years. To guide our inexperienced class for the first year we chose Patricia Cox, president; Thomas Schullo, vice president: I,awrence Mickelson, secretary; Hetty Lou Lohnian. treasurer: I-ois Brandt, student council representative: and Miss Rehmer. adviser. The outstanding social event of the year was the party the seniors gave for the freshmen, when they helped us learn to dance, and we went away much better acquainted. As sophomores we chose Miss Chubb, adviser: Theodore Clymer. president: Mar- ian Schueler, vice president: Joan Evans, secretary: Jane Olson, treasurer; and Aud- rey Cleveland, student council representative. We were well represented in extra-curric- ular activities this year with twelve members in “A” (ilee Club, seven in Mixed Chorus, seven in Boys’ Glee Club, and a large number in the hand. We were also repre- sented in football, basketball and speech activities. We began our junior year by electing Marian Schueler, president: Beverly Mor- gan, vice president: Darlene Sherburn. sec- retary: Dennis Zezza, treasurer; David Kvarnes, student council representative, and Miss Chubb, adviser. A big event of the year was the class play, “Midnight , which was presented on November 19. The big- gest event of the year, however, was the Junior Prom with its beautiful decorations on a fantasy theme, the pretty gowns worn bv all the girls, and the sweet odor of fiowers in the air. This was the never-to- be-forgotten event. Early in the senior year we entertain- ed the freshmen at a social hour to acquaint them with more students. Our officers for the last year were Lyle Ward, president: Lawrence Mickelson, vice president: Betty lane Nelson, secretary; Leila Evenson. treasurer: Betty Porter, student council representative, and Miss Jenny Lee, ad- viser. This year nine of the hoys helped compose the championship football team, with Dennis Zezza as captain. We were also well represented on the basketbal team, of which Arthur “Reddy Vindal was cap- tain. Many seniors were prominent in band, mixed chorus, glee clubs, and other organ- izations. Several boys joined the armed forces before graduation, and we greatly missed each one but were proud of them for the fine job they were doing wherever they were. The class play, “June Mad , was a great success and was a lot of fun for those who witnessed it as well as the performers. At last came Class Day, Bae- calaur.ate, Commencement, and the end of the finest, most carefree days of our lives, our high school career.

A number of boys were active in football, basketball, boxing, and baseball. Many of these showed remarkable promise for the coming year. This year as sophomores the class members have also taken a very active part in all the school activities. Kleven mem- bers of the c’ass are in Mixed Chorus; three sophomores are in the brass sextet, and Stephen Bush is in the quartet. The one- act plays given this year, in which four members of the class took part, showed that they had dramatic talent and a yen for grease paint. Three boys became Hi-Y members, and four of the class were initiated into Tachoperas. Another member of the class, Helenmary Mickelson, was chosen as one of Hudson High’s cheerleaders. Six sophomore boys were on the cham- pion football team this season, and Howard Cox and John Gilb rtson made “A” berths on the basketba 1 squad. Managers of this year’s football and basketball squads were W illiam Allds and Martin O’Connell, who are both sophomores.

To help the freshmen get acquainted, the seniors gave a party the second week of school. At this party the senior girls got most of the freshmen boys to dance and were surprised to find some good dancers. During the rest of the year there were many parties with the other classes. Although this is one of the smaller freshmen Casses, they are well represented in sports, music, debate, and declamation. They are very proud of their showing and especially of the three soloists at the music contest. 26 Dock Beauties . . . ‘Gil's” feet . . . Two-gether Fire ? ? ... Off duty! . . .

Sports Summary of football (games September 22 HUDSON 9—BRECK 13 Fumbles and inexperience in the Hud- son backfield lead to the defeat of the Hudson ‘ grid” by a fast, rangy Breck team. The new “T formation showed its possi- bilities by the Raiders making 11 first downs to Breck's 6. Coach Crowe was pleasantly surprised to find that the Hud- son line had such mule-like stubbornness in the defensive play. This non-conference game gave the Raiders valuable experience and showed their weaknesses which were quickly ironed out in practices. September 29 HUDSON 33—ELLSWORTH 0 The Raiders defeated Ellsworth 33-0 in the first conference game of the year on Hudson’s victory field. The attack was sparked by the running of Dave “Swede” Sandberg, who scored three times, twice on runs over .30 yards. The team was really out to win. The half fended 26-0, in a smashing offense bv the “Blue Boys”. Th ■ new T” formation showed a marked improvement although the backfield still fumbled somewhat. Cox and Mickelson a’so crossed the double strip for the Raiders. Oetober 6 HUDSON 0—M ENOMON IE 0 Although outgaining their op|x nents by a 100 yard margin, the Raiders found themselves unable to score against a tough Menomonie eleven. Most of the play was at mid-fie'd with the Hudsonites only enter- ing scoring territory once. Dave Sandberg was the outstanding player for the Blue and White while Jeatran starred for the Indians. October 13 HUDSON 19—COLFAX 0 After the draw of the week before, the Hudson eleven journeyed to Colfax to win by a margin of three touchdowns. It was an inspired team that entered the field. ‘Dave Sandberg and Captain “Jack Zezza played their usual outstanding back field- game. Praise is deserved by Hudson’s line which held the charging Colfax boys to one first down by rushing. “Bob Kngebretson was outstanding in his defensive play. Oetober 20 HUDSON 19—SPRING VALLEY 0 The Hudson team drove home an un- disputed victory over their arch-rival. Spring Valley. Daw Sandberg's running and passing ability combined with “Reddy” Vindal’s pass snaring put the Raiders in front. “Jim” Lonergan stepped into th ■ quarterback position and showed real ball handling abi.ity on the Hudson “T”. This was the hottest afternoon of the season; yet it was the roughest, most rugged game of the season. Oetober 27 HUDSON 30— RIVKR FALLS 0 Previously tied with them for first place honors, the Raiders routed a River Palls eleven to cinch the championship for their fourth straight year. The Wildcats found the Hudson ‘T formation too much for them as the Raiders passed and drove for 317 yards from scrimmage. In th? backfield quarterback “Jim Lonergan. and halfback. Dave Sandberg, starred with pass- ing and ball handling while end, Lyle Cam- eron. showed up wel' in the line for th • Raiders. Hudson’s defense was at its peak as time and time again the River Falls' plavs were broken up. The highlight of the gam? was Captain Zezza’s 70 yard run for a touchdown after a pass interception. November 3 HUDSON 14—NEW RICHMOND 0 The Raiders finished a brilliant un- beaten, unscored upon season as they de- feated the New Richmond Tigers by a 14 0 score. Starring for the Raiders were Cap- tain “Jack Zezza, “Dave Sandberg and “Lorry Mickelson who constantly threat- ened the' “Orangemen's” defense. It was mostly a contest of lines and the bruising plays resulted in many minor injuries on both sides. ‘Bob” De Witte and Dean Erickson were the main-stays of the for- •'War?! wall as the two heavy 'ines battled it out. Ten senior lettermen played their last game for Hudson High.

Fullback— Switching from guard to fullback in one season was no easy task for “Jack”, and he amazed the fans by his brilliant running, blocking, and kicking. On defense “Jack was one of the main stalwarts, con- stantly intercepting passes and making bruis- ing tackles. “Jack”, three year letterman. proved himself a worthy captain, admired by all his team mates. DAVE SANDBERG, Halfback— Swivel-hipped and tricky, Dave was an amazing star throughout the Raider season. His passing and running placed him among the few great backs Hudson has ever pos- sessed. “Dave” was the mainstay of the hack- field as he passed, ran, or punted the home team out of danger. Hindered by a knee injury in the early part of the season. Dave gained the respect of all by never allowing it to hinder his playing abilities. GERALD HOEL, Halfback- Few players make names for them- selves in their first year of playing, but “Gerry” bucked the stiff competition and proved himself a valuable player. Small and tricky. “Gerry” was hard to hit and displayed ca'm and good naturcd sports- manship throughout the season. DEAN ERICKSON, Tackle— In his three years of letterman foot- ball for Hudson, Dean was outstanding in bis ability to aid the team by his bruising playing. He proved himself a stalwart in his line position and was also outstanding in his readiness to block for the backfield. and his steady, hard playing was a va'uable asset to the team. LYLE WARD. Halfback— Lyle was new to the game in his senior year, but he was quick to catch on. A hard running halfback, he was admired bv all. Lvle sustained some hindering injuries throughout the season, most of them acquired from his hard tackling; however he stuck with the team and played ball to the end of the season. HAROLD PERSELL, End— “Pretzel”, as his friends called him, was an outstanding defensive end during his career. Quick and agile. “Pretzel” was a hard man to take out of the play and succeeded in catching many fast backs. Also a pass snagger. “Pretzel” suited his position perfectly. ARTHUR VINDAL. End— Alternating between end and half- back. “Red displayed superb ball hand'ing ability in his first year of football. His pass catching skill was prominent especiallv in the Spring Valley game. “Red” was exceptiona' because he never allowed his size to hinder his playing. LAWRENCE MICKELSON. End— Short and speedy, “Lorry proved himself to be of great value during his two vears at end position. As a pass receiver his ability to snag long ]� sses was outstand- ing. Proving himself necessary hoth on defense and offense “Lorry” was a spark- plug in the line as his calm, experienced p'aving aided the team immensely through- out the season. CHARLES JOHNSON. Center— “Rig Chuz was a bruising tackle in every game. Racking up the line on defense and centering for the trusty “T” formation gave “Chuz plenty of worries. However, his abilities qualified and “Chuz” proved himself really necessary during the Raider season. JAMES LONERGAN, Quarterback— In his second year of football “Jim took over the important position on the team as quarterback. His excellence and cl-ver- ness in the fast handling of the ball in the “T” formation made him indispensable on offense. Also as a tackier and a passer “lim’s playing made him a valuable addi- tion to the success of the team throughout the season. Art Vindal . . . Dave Sandberg . . . Gerry Hoel . . .

Pvt. Clarence Noreen, and Pvt. Paul Kvarnes. Following the splendid meal, several informal talks were given by members of the faculty, the servicemen present, and other guests.

The Menomonie “In- dians traveled the fifty odd miles to meet the Raider eleven on the Hudson field and tied them 0-0 in a nip and tuck battle. The Raiders played one of their best games of the season as the students and townspeople went all out in their support. Posters depicting the 11 omecoming slogan appeared at the school and down town. Many businessmen decorated their store windows in honor of the team, and the spon- sors of winning ideas were awarded budget tickets for the remainder of the year. At 2 :55 on Friday a pep fest was held in the school auditorium which included yells, numbers by the hand, skits, song dedi- cations, and a talk by Mr. Rock. T 1 Clymer was chairman of the committees this year, and he and the committee members deserve much praise for their fine work in making the Homecoming a success. After the game the undecided fans, alumni, students, and players returned to the high school where a dance and party were held and where they later decided a 0-0 tie wasn’t too bad, and everyone settled down for a good time. Refreshments were managed by Miss Mcllquham’s and Miss Mathews’ advisory groups, while during the game the G. A. C. warmed the fans with hot coffee and doughnuts. .14 Cue of fcese nice moonlight niohis V4dc so� i b Co.ng +° ?U +he ga ® ht’Y dre capable c V v placing Dere “Void fo jjfcrVch or Ho Z2 clfJ -K BY Coach CROWE at pep ASSEMBLY OcT. 27,H AND rms_ W xe THE GAt t' X VCnouj Vvoco H -feel novo fflUDSOM TOED Five Times AND Misseo THEM ALL -------- ifheY mone Tt� ese -fooV- baNs Too SbocKs there Ui3S nothing To � � - I Dave jus+ I yo !l in V my dp SNTHC FOURTH GuarTER HcEL WAS GOmG To TcwM Lyle (§amfron pLAyEO TME BEST Game op H S CAREER ---- 'If garne ha4 aSjVed nv� ch longer ‘ l c be� c use voiyter-boy JL3 kjiss ©hubb OF “THE VloOSOH FACULTY Besides “River TallS - Itt A Tough SpoT — T tiTo lV � nK L Coon A 2x rain WC ATT pc rfTj Co TlNUlO FAIR 2-iu Miles can seem Like an awful Long ways X goftq tvHte unfinished business . ©o« Ward- SVAN fcOVAAS ) ©cwty GRonk- e:vGr dolrs.

Lacking in speed and inaccurate passing were the main reasons for the Hudson loss. Coach Crowe had previously stated the Raiders were not vet ready for stiff com- petition and was partly correct. However, the Hudsonites showed real promise and possessed several scoring potentialities who were to prove themselves later in the season. December 8 HUDSON 40—SPRING VALLEY 29 Playing slow, steady hall, the Hudson quint had little trouble with the boys from Spring Valley although they did approach dangerously close to tying the Hudson score once or twice. The Raider (Kissing showed improvement over previous games as did their shooting and floorwork. The Raiders loomed as a constant threat to bids for the championship. December 12 HUDSON 48—NEW RICHMOND 40 Maintaining their unusual high scoring average as in previous games, the Raiders racked up too many tallies for the Irish to match as the locals won by a safe eight point lead. A sensational game played before an enthusiastic crowd was the evening bi'l as Robert Engebretson scored a total of 18 points for the Hudson quint, follow- ed by Muckenhirn with 13. Sam Slaugh- ter also scored 13 for New Richmond. December 15 HUDSON 36—COLFAX 28 I he Colfax quint was defeated again by the Raiders in a nip and tuck game that brought the fans to their feet many times. The Raiders played fast hall all the way through th • game keeping the Colfax boys on the move all the time, and forcing them to play Hudson’s type of ball. Vindal starred for the Raiders with 18 points. December 21 HUDSON 46—ELLSWORTH 30 Ellsworth sprang a long shot expert on the Raider floormen and threatened them well into the second half as the Hud- son zone defense proved so tight it pre- vented the Ellsworth boys from using set- up shots. Starring for the Hudsonites were Muckenhirn and Erickson who played good hall on both offense and defense. Hove showed up well for the Ellsworth quint with 13 points. Hudson’s passing was good, and the Bluemen had little trouble in making their shots. January 12 HUDSON 44—RIVER FALLS 30 Hitting their mid-season stride, the Hudson men had a comparatively easy time with a flashy River Falls team until the third quarter when the Falls staged a scor- ing spree and pulled ahead for a few min- utes. Starring for the home team were Robert Engebretson and Dean Erickson with 21 and 9 (mints respectively. Hudson stepped into second p’ace in the conference and grew as a menace to the powerful Menomonie team. January 19 HUDSON 38—NEW RICHMOND 40 In their usual tough game with the fighting Irish, the Raiders found themselves at the trailing end of a 40 to 3.8 score as the game ended. Off on their shots and playing on a strange floor added to the disadvantages of the blue and white quint. Their defeat came as a surprise after a half time lead of 25 to 16. David Sand- berg played his last game of the season as he was graduated at mid-year. The loss of Dave was a severe one for the Raiders. January 26 HUDSON 40—ELLSWORTH 29 The Raiders traveled to Ellsworth to meet a much improved team. “O’af” Vindal starred for Hudson with 18 points. Vindal succeeded in interrupt- ing several Ellsworth passes and drove down the floor at top speed to score. Erickson also showed up well for the Hudsonites with eight tallies, and he displayed fine work on rebounds and passes. Lester Muckenhirn came to life in the fourth quarter with 8 consecutive points. February 2 HUDSON 51—SPRING VALLEY 44 Hudson displayed a scoring game that amazed the fans as it swamped a fighting Spring Valley team who trai’ed by a 40 to 28 score at the end of the third quarter. The ‘Bluemen” p’ayed slow, accurate ball, mak- ing a good (lercentage of th-ir shots which is shown bv the fact that Vindal scored 15. Muckenhirn 12. Engebretson 11. and Erick- son 9. The ninety-five ] oint total racked up by the two teams was the highest of the season and showed both teams possessed fine scoring potentials. 11 UDS()N BASKETEERS Standing—John Gilbertson, Gerald Hoel.

Hindered by the loss of their star center, “Bob” Enge- bretson. because of sickness, and lacking their usual scoring punch, the Hudsonites’ victory was squeezed out in the closing min- utes. Captain Vindal scored 19 points, and Muckenhirn made 10. February 16 HUDSON 44—RIVER FALLS 36 A spirited River Ralls team was de- feated bv the Hudson floormen sparked by “Reddy Vindal. The crowded River Falls gvm watched Vindal connect for 26 points in one of the highest scoring records in the conference, while Muckenhirn and Erickson followed with 10 and 6 | oints respectively. Hudson trailed at the start of the fourth quarter 32 to 26. Vindal led the offense in that quarter with 13 points: Erickson and Muckenhirn buckled down; and the score was quickly turned in the Raiders' favor. Cox, Gilbertson, and Erick- son showed up well on the defense as the River Falls team was held to two field goals the last eight minutes of play. The Hudson team showed their will to win in this game. February 23 HUDSON 44—MENOMONIE 46 After a hard season of ups and downs the Raiders faced a smooth, fast Menomonie team for their championship game. Con- siderably weakened throughout the season by the loss of several good players, the Raiders found the Indians too much for them. In the lead for the majority of the game, at the half 29-19. and at the end of the third quarter 37-32, the Hudsonites seemed to throw the game away as they let the Menomonie quint quickly tie the score and then win in an overtime by a two (mint margin. Bob Brimer was the man of the evening as he scored 22 points for the Indians. Vindal and Erickson star- red for the Raiders with 14 and 12 ]x ints respectively. NON CONFERENCE January 30 HUDSON 38—PRESCOTT 35 A Prescott team with plently of power gave the Raiders a harassed evening as they almost defeated the Hudson quint in the closing minutes. Erickson saved the evening as he dropped the winning three tallies. Vindal made 12 jtoints followed by Muckenhirn and Erickson with ten each. Hudson’s teamwork showed a decided im- provement during this game: however, in- accurate passing accounted for the close score. February 13 HUDSON 29—PRESCOTT 44 Following their hard game with Colfax, the Raiders were forced to play Prescott on the following Tuesday. Tired and sluggish, the Hudson quint was no match for the peppy Prescott team who were at an ad- vantage throughout the game as the Raiders proceeded to lose three men on fouls. RIVER FALLS TOURNAMENT March 2 HUDSON 34—RIVER FALLS 41 Hudson's ball club was upset by' a fighting River Falls five in the first game of the tournament at the River Falls college gym. Unable to connect with the hoop at all. the Raiders soon found themselves at a 24-10 disadvantage at the half. Making a bid in the fourth quarter to even up the scoring proved futile for the Hudson quint: and as the gun sounded, they still trailed by a seven point margin, although they had held the Falls to two points in the last eight minutes of play. March 3 HUDSON 32—NEW RICHMOND 25 Tlie Raiders closed their season with a victory over their rivals. New Richmond, in a fast, rough game which gave them a third place in the tournament standings at River balls. Four seniors played their last game for the Hudson team. Arthur Vindal. Dean Erickson. Lawrence Mickelson. and Harold Olson. The “Orangemen” seldom had possession of the ball; however, the Raiders were off on their shots and could only manage 32 ]x ints throughout the game. Muckenhirn, Erickson, and Carl Sandberg starred for the Raiders on rebounds and offense. 38 'Intramural The fourteen high school students and twenty-four junior high students composed the junior high and intramural basketball teams. These teams competed with opj (us- ing schools in preliminary games and also played games within their own groups. A small group of fourteen boys com- posed the high school intramural basketball squad this year. These boys played pre- liminary games before conference games. During the season some of the boys developed good basketball techniques and John Gilbertson, John Strom, and Howard Cox were advanced to the varsity team. Those out for intramural basketball were John Cornel issen, John Cashman, Charles Johnson, Howard Brown, Patrick Ferguson. David Kvarnes. Gregory Evans, W arren ()tterson. Ward Stevenson. John Strom, Howard Cox. John Gilbertson, and Robert Wright. The twenty-four junior high athletes were confined to playing basketball as their only sport this year. Two preliminary games were played with River Falls, and both were lost. The lxivs that were out are John Ferguson, Arvin Lovaas, Walter Johannsen, Steven Sandberg, Richard Johannsen, Robert Johnson, Kenneth Payson, George Madson, Clyde Christiansen, Curtis Nickelby, Miles Fladager, Charles Nelson, Robert Beer. Richard Johnson. Kenneth I .arson. Vernon Christiansen. William Haugen. David Cleve- land. Paul Riedel. Duane Nelson. George Wright. Thomas Haugen. Donald Evenson. and Roger Imhoff.

Only one senior letterman was returning on tlie team, and many of the lx vs were young and inexperienced. Coach Heiting did a fine job of whipping the boys into shape; however, and a lot of promising material was observed. John Cameron, this year’s captain left for military service before the season started, so at the end of the season Dennis Kinney was elected honorary eai - tain of the team. Eugene St. Ores was elected next year’s captain of the mitt squad. In the first bout of the season the Hudson mitt boys met a tough Prescott team in a fifteen bout match. The Raiders found themselves unable to cojie with the Prescott heavy weights and lost by an eight and one half to six and one half score. The second bout of the season saw the Raiders turn the tables on last year’s champ- ions, Baldwin, and win by a heavy nine to six margin. Gerard McMahon and Eugene St. Ores starred for the home team as they both pounded out T.K.O.’s over their op- ponents. Ellsworth and Hudson now stood tied for the conference first place. New Richmond’s fighting Irish showed their mettle as they took the Raiders in a one sided match by an eight to five score. The home team just couldn’t seem to out- point the Tigers and lost many close decis- ions by one or two jxiints. The Hudson fans watched the Raiders fight the heavily favored Ellsworth team to a draw in the local ring in the fourth bout of the season. The highlight of the evening was Hudson’s comeback after losing five straight fights in the lighter weights. The Kinney brothers, Dennis and Michael. Stephen Bush, and Lester Muckkenliirn led the attack and put the Raiders hack in the running. River halls nosed out Hudson bv a close score of eight and one half to seven and one half in the closing match of the season. The contest was a rough one, and the fights were closely contested. Praise for both of the teams was high, and some very promising material for the coming sea- sons was observed.

To arouse | e| at the various inter- scholastic events, to promote school activ- ities, to promote better health, and to en- courage more girls to enter actively into sports are the aims of the G. A. C. During the school year competition was held be- tween classes in kickball. scrimmage, bas- ketball. volleyball, and softball. A certain number of points are given for each sport in which a girl participated. Upon receiving three hundred and fifty points, one is eligible to receive the G. A. C. emblem. hen she has earned seven hun- dred and fifty, she will receive a medal. If she has earned two thousand before she graduates, she is eligible for a large letter ‘II . These jxiints are earned by taking part in school sports and numerous individ- ual activities such as horseback riding, skat- ing. tennis, hiking, and bicycling. ()ne hun- dred points a year must be earned bv each girl to remain in the club. Initiation is probably the most dreaded thing for all prospective members. The initiation committee consisted of Betty Por- ter, Darlene Sherburn, Pat Cox, Helen Sveen, Donna Norvold, and Eleanor Simp- son. The initiates appeared in ‘longies”, carrying a dish towel and a big doll or teddv bear, with a tin can tied on a string about their necks. A delicious supper was served to the standing initiates in the home eco- nomics room at six o’clock. A scavenger hunt, dancing, and rolling a peanut across the gym floor with their noses added to the merriment. I he following day initiates were seen with the G. A. C. letters in mercur- ochrome on their foreheads and the halls of Hudson High fairly echoed, “You are superior, I am inferior. Finances were increased by selling hot coffee and doughnuts during the football games by G. A. C. members. Helen Sveen, Jane Gilbertson, Olive Smith. Doris Wein- berg, Darlene Sherburn. and Pat Cox man- aged the sales. SENIOR G. A. C. OFFICERS I resident .................... Darlene Sherburn Vice President ........................
