Mr. W. G. Heiting Time marches on, and the class of ’47 who were last year’s “green f res hies” are now seasoned sophomores. This class of sixty freshmen started out their high school career by electing W arren ()tterson presi- dent of the class; Helenmary Mickelson, vice president: Doris Bogut, secretary; Ward Stevenson, treasurer: Lorraine Kruse, council representative; and Mr. Heiting, ad- viser. Great progress was made by these freshmen in music and athletics. They were well represented in band, orchestra, glee club. Junior G. A. C., and debate. 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. Several hoys joined the mitt squad and showed an excellent sampl of sophomore ability. Many boys won their letters in these sports.
