In Mr. Fladager’s biology classes much time is spent experimenting in the labora- tory so that students may better understand this science of living organisms. CARL SANDBERG REPRESENTATIVE SENIOR Each year since 1927 the faculty has chosen a repre- sentative senior who has been presented with a suitable award at Commencement. When the funds of the class of 1927 were exhausted last year, the clas of 1945 voted its memorial to continue the practice. The faculty feels that among the worth- while characteristics which a high school graduate should possess are character, of a quality in keeping with the student’s age and training, a knowledge of right from wrong; a desire to seek more knowl- edge with the guidance of parent?, teachers, and superiors; a certain degree of leadership and indepen- dence of others, the ability to live well with other people; a determination to lead wholesome lives, and broadmindedness enough to appreciate that all work no matter how humble is as important for the wel- fare of a community as the position of a higher rank. Because Carl Sandberg possesses so many of these traits, as well as others equally desirable, he was chosen by this year’s faculty to be the repre- sentative of the cla s of 1946.

'Hie road we have traveled has been similar to one after a rainstorm of knowl- edge—bumpy in spots and smooth in others. During our four years' journ v, we have had to make numerous stops to 'et off sixteen of our orignial sixty members who entered the |x rtals of Hudson High School as bewildered, little freshmen. Our first immediate problem in 1942 was to elect officers, which was done capably by electing Lyle Cameron, president; Lester Mucken- liirn. vice president; Gretchen Luebke, sec- retary; Kathryn Nelson, treasurer; 1'iugene St. Ores, Student Council representative; and Mr. Harris, adviser. Our sophomore year proved a little more exciting for the boys, as we 1 as the girls, because we b came eligible for more activities. Some of the hoys decided to choose the bumpy detour and went all out for sports, while others chose the safer way and developed their talents in the mu- sical field. The girls were well represented in G. A. C., Tachoperas, one act plays, and the musical organizations. The year 1943 a'so found us losing part of the male population of the class to Uncle Sam. Lyle Cameron, Gerald Schlief. Marvin Solsvig, Jerrv Kukuska, Carl Ahlgren, and Ernest Richie all heeded the call. Jeannine Du- mowl. one of the more active girls of our c ass also left us this year. Out officers for 1943-44 were presi- dent. Eugene St. Ores; vice president. I homas O’Connell; secretary, Lester Muck- enhirn; treasurer, Helen Sveen; Student Council representative. Roxana Kruse; and Mr. Walbrandt, adviser. Hie incline on the race for the home goal, graduation, seemed a little steeper in our junior year. The prom was the main task and accomplishment, with June Jack- son and Jack Cornelissen as co-chairmen. The theme was “Hawaiian Night” complete with sailboat and palm trees. It was a great success with a large attendance. By now we were well represented in debate and declam boasting nine members. As the end of the year approached, we found time jassing us bv a little faster, and the road a little easier with the aid of our class officers. Gretchen Luebke, presi- dent: Kathryn Nelson, vice president: Rox- ana Kruse, secretary; Jack Cornelissen. treasurer; Student Council representative. Eugene St. Ores; and Mr. Walbrandt, adviser. The first peace time senior class in four years was our distinction as we launch- ed on the last lap of our journey in Sep- tember of 1945. Our first annual event was the fresh- man-senior party in the fall when we be- came acquainted with the class of '49. Some of us have heen outstanding in musical groups, and Elizabeth Williamson went to the State Speech Contest. Lester Mucken- hirn. Robert Engebretson, and Eugene St. Ores were captains of basketball, football, and boxing, and Lester was a'l school presi- dent. The senior class has been active in all extra curricular activities and there was a large turnout for the tryouts of the class play, “Vivacious Lady , which was an out- standing success. Two more seniors were added to our roll toward the end of the year. They were Robert Penman and George Richie, both World War II veterans. Finally the rough road we'd traveled became concrete pavement and we flew, all too fast, through the memorable days of Baccalaureate, class day, tests, and finally commencement—leaving them all behind us in a cloud of dust, but with wonderful memories of never-to-be-forgotten days.

On the e e of graduation for the class of 46, the members entered a solemn pledge that they would meet ten years hence and have a joyous reunion. Well, here it is ten years hence; and vtfc’re having a joyous reunion all right! The site for this gala celebration is the new community hall which ha been construct- ed under the supervision and management of “Tucker” O’Connell. It is interesting to note that Tom was recently called to court on bigamy charges It has been rumored that he is considering entering a partnership with an old class mate. George Richie, who has also eon his time Li court for cheating in pinochle. Everyone seems to be having a good time as far ai the eve can see. but how far can the eye see?—Especially when it’s .Tack Ca°h- man patrolling the boat! The entertainment has been provided by lively Lorraine Tohnson, who is now a New York show producer. From the review- in the new paper edited by the famous Scottish reporter, Roger Lvk ett. the program planned will bo ono of tho liveliest ever held in the metropolis of Hudson. Shirley Erb and Mar- lene Persell will be the featured artists in their noted ballet act while Shirley Yarns will exhibit her rare collection of European dogs, the African Wildcats, which were pur- chased from John Zar ke, (Pardon mo!—John Strom) owner of the famous Tennessee Dog Kennels. “Les” Muckonhirn has stepped out of his doctor’s uniform long enough to demonstrate black magic He and June (Now an R.N.) have just returned from the wilds of Africa where they erved for the past decade as missionaries They made the homeward voy- age with Bob Engebretson and “Sibby”. “Engle” was appointed fire watcher and chief forester for a rubber plantation down there. “Don” Fro ', master of ceremonies, was just seen scrambling through the crowd—over to the table where Superintendent of Schools, Tom Schullo, i sitting. Speaking of school. Kathleen Hallenberger and Elaine Gibbon are bidding for the position of office girl at the high school. Refreshments for this gala event have been provided by Bonnie Heckel, who has inherited the soda pop business from her father. A sad note added to our reunion is the absence of Bob DeWitte and Marie, who have been obliged to ctay home caring for all the little “Killers”—who show promising futures as boxers, touchdown experts, and theater goers. Helen Sveen, Roxana Kruse, and Kathryn Nelson, joint owners of the Nelson Pool Hall, just creeched up to the front door in Helen’s Chewy, and started madly on their search of that still unobtainable commodity—men! ! Pat Ferguson, who has taken the place of Jimmy Durante and Red Skelton, will in- troduce the speaker of the evening. Jack Cornelissen, who will give a short talk on how he reached the pinnacle of fame as a second Arthur Murray.

The air was filled with the gay laugh- ter, the swish of taffeta and the heady fragrance of corsages at the Junior Prom, held on Friday, May 3. An archway en- twined with roses led into a Southern Colonial garden. Looking past trellises, hanging thick with clusters of pink, lilac, yellow, and blue flowers, one saw a white, Inige-columed veranda reaching out in state- ly welcome. Seated on the veranda was Hob M ’ton's orchestra. Pastel streamers hung overhead and ribbon? of light, pro- jected downward, produced intricate shadow patterns on the waxed floor. Fruit punch was served at an old colonial wishing well on one side of the room. The grand march was led by Stephen Mush and Mary Ann Danielson followed by Elizabeth W illiamson and Robert Engehret- son. Stephen Bush, the general chairman.

Our first year of high school has been filled with many of the usual and unusual hap| enings. We started out with the Freshmen- Senior party, the purpose of which was to get acquainted with the upj er classmen. ()ur students have been very active with extra-curricular activities. Many fresh- men represent our class in (dee Club, Mixed Chorus. Band, and Orchestra. We also had a few soloists at the annua music contest, of whom we are very proud. ()ur hoys have made a fine showing in sports, and the girls have very enthusiastically gone out for G. A. C. sports. We were well repre- sented in debate, victory speaking, and also in the operetta, “The Magic Blue Belt.” To prove our class has initiative, in Junior High School many of us won a placque which was presented to us for the buying of th? most War Bonds and Stamps in high school. We are very proud of this, and we’ll stick to the job, not just for our class hut for the whole school. 28 Don and his youngest—puppy . . . Four twirling shorties . . . What’s so interesting?

September 21 HUDSON 20—ELLSWORTH 0 A rugged, well-balanced line followed by a charging backfield set a pace that jraralleled any Hudson grid team, as Ells- worth went down in defeat before the Raider offense in Hudson’s first conference game of the '45-’46 season. A tight defense held Ellsworth to one first down, while the Raider offense romp- ed over the Huh City's goal three times with Carl Sandberg carrying the hall each time. Cox showed ability as a fullback, as he charged and twisted through the Hub defense. Cox and Stevenson ran the first downs. September 28 MENOMOXIE 0—HUDSON 6 The Raider e'even proved to Hudson fans that they could score upon and defeat the Indians, in a rugged defensive game on the Indian field. The gallant goal-line stand on the three yard line by Hudson, preventing a touchdown, was the high point in excite- ment of a very close game. The end-around play was executed perfectly, and “Bob” Engebretson ran the ball over for the only score of the game. I loward Cox’s passing also was acclaimed very good. This second victory for the Raiders was the hardest fought, best-earned game of the season. October 5 COLFAX 0—HUDSON 27 Undefeat d and unscored upon for the third consecutive game of the season, the Raid ts found something to ce’ebrate about, as they trounced Colfax in the homecom- ing game, 27 to 0. Touchdowns were run ov-r the goal line by (� x. Christensen, and Sandberg. I hree of the four attempted extra |x ints were made, two bv passes, and the other by an end run. D-Witte. Evans, Strom. Cornelissen. and Engebretson deserved credit for fine blocking and good defensive work. Raider teamwork pushed the weaker Mores all over th- field, but a few Hudson tumbles resulted in loss of several more chances to score. October 12 SPRING VALLEY 0— HUDSON 14 A spirited, aggressive Raider team started a whirlwind game that appeared in the first quarter to be a walk-away against the Valley on the Hudson field. Both of Hudson’s touchdowns were made in the first quarter. A slump ended the scoring, and the defensive work also weakened. Cox and Sandberg ran the touchdowns over, and both extra points were completed on passes. John Strom, left guard, played the best defensive game, hitting hard and often. This game provided the fourth con- secutive win for the Raiders' record of only one loss during the season. October 19 RIVER FALLS 12—HUDSON 0 The only loss of the season, the first score made against the Raiders in a con- ference game, and loss of the Middle Border Conference Championship, all resulted from the defeat at the hands of a smooth-work- ing Pa ls' eleven. The first period saw a nip-and-tuck ground duel with very few passes being attempted. The first River Falls’ touchdown dis- heartened the Blueboys, and a decided de- cline showed in their playing. The seniors were especially sorry to lose, for they had their last chance for a championship in that game. It seemed as if everything worked for the Falls’ lads, and the Raiders’ plays just won dn t work. Nevertheless, a rugged game was given the Orange and White. October 26 HUDSON 13—NEW RICHMOND 0 After their defeat by River Falls, tire Hudson Raiders won over the boys from New Richmond by a score of 13-0. The hind of ball wasn t good for either team al!hough Hudson had a few bright spots. I he first quarter was -c reless; but in th- second quarter, the fighting Raiders drove the ball over after a long sustained drive. I be next touchdown came after a fift ett yard penalty set the Tigers deep in their own territory. They tried to pass, and then Bob De itte. tackle, intercepted and ran for the score. Hudson gained 217 yards to the I igetv. 70 yards in passing and scrim- mage. ((Continued on pag2 34J 32 Fifth Row—William Heffron, Robert Johnson, Ass’. Coach, Rev. G. D. Wood.

November 30 HUDSON 33—COLFAX 29 The newly-formed Raider five took the long trip to Colfax on Friday, Novem- ber 30, for the first game of the season. Howard “Rev” Cox was high scorer with 13 points, while Fngebretson took se- cond place with nine. Many faults were discovered: and our new coach, Ken Fladager, who recently re- turned from service, charted methods for improvement. The tussle was considered to be way below the game expected of the new com- bination, but the bovs showed promise of a fine team. The starting five consisted of Cap- tain “Les Muckenhirn, “Boh” Engebret- son, Howard “Rev Cox, “Jack” Gilbert - son, and Carl Sandberg. December 7 HUDSON 39—NEW RICHMOND 28 “Bob” Engebretson and “Jack Gil- bertson set the scoring pace in a compara- tively close conference game. Still p aying a type of hall with little system, the Raiders buckled down for a tough schedule with Ellsworth and River Falls who was next on their schedule. Roughness marked the progress of the game, with little of good hall-handling which had l een stressed bv Coach Fladager be- ing practiced. December 14 HUDSON 42—ELLSWORTH 34 Hudson took a first quarter lead on the Huh city lads and maintained it through- out the game. Poor defense marked one of the Raiders' biggest faults. Fngebretson again scored high with 18 points. “Bob’s consistency in scoring had been one of the foremost factors of Hudson’s three consecutive wins. Some good passing was displayed, and this game began the upward trek of the Raiders. Ellsworth, holding Raider scoring down to a minimum, and exhibiting good basketball of their own, loomed as a future threat to all conference teams. December 21 HUDSON 26—RIVER FALLS 23 1 lie Raider five came through with a close win over a tall River Falls team after a hard-fought battle. The game was most- ly defensive, and as a result, the score was very low. Engebretson tallied nine points. and Sandberg and Muckenhirn scored six each. Fine ball playing was shown by both teams. Most of Hudson's scoring was done after working the hall in to our very capable center, Engebretson. The Falls' llealv, a 6'6” center, was a constant threat, and River halls was seen as a potential title- contender. January 11 HUDSON 16—SPRING VALLEY 33 The conference upset of the season resulted in this Val'ev-Raider tussle. Caught on an “off night by the high-spirited Val- 1 yites. the Toll-bridge city lads were soundly trounced and sent home on the short end of a more-than-doubled score. The first quarter showed the poorest Raider basketball shown in many years, as the Valley lads rol'ed 14 points to the Raiders O. Raider offense struggled to score, hut a Valley player would steal the hall time and again for another basket for his team. The defense of the Blue Raiders was also shattered by the “wheel offense of the Va'lev lads who were decidedly “on in their shooting, making them from all over the court. January 15 HUDSON 40— PRESCOTT 22 In a non conference game. Hudson defeated Prescott 40-22. Both teams made innumerable mistakes by way of missing shots and rebounds and poor passing and hall handling. Engebretson and Gilbertson led the Raider scoring with 11 and 10 |x ints. Gil- bertson dropped in a flurry of baskets in the last quarter of the game on break-in shots for a thrilling finish. Vernon Christensen, a freshman, also starred by his hall handling and shooting ability. January 18 HUDSON 49—ELLSWORTH 28 The Raiders held the “Hub hoopsters to a neat 28, while they chalked up 48 points. “Boh” Engebretson and “Les” Muck- enhirn lead the Raiders in the “Huh” city game with 18 and 10 points respectively, while the others did considerable scoring also. “Cully Sandberg, a half year student, gave hjs final performance iii this game. “Cullv played good ball all year.

(Continued from page 36) January 22 MRNOMONIE 34—HUDSON 23 The Raiders suffered their second de- feat of the season by the Indians to the tune of 11 points. Unable to score throughout the game, the Raiders played their best all around game; but they were just unable to hit the basket, making only 13 | er cent of their shots, while the Menomonie lads made them from all over the court. An effective weaving offense was set up bv Menom- onie. and Raider defense was puzzled, as one bucket after another was sunk into the basket. Cox led Raider scoring with nine ]« ints, followed by NickJeby with six tallies. January 25 HUDSON 32—SPRING VALLEY 24 Although not up to par. the Hudson cagers did defeat the Valley quint in a rough-and-tumb'e tussle. Revenge was tak- en for the previous defeat at the hands of the Valley lads, although a high score should have been made by the Raiders. Howard “Rev” Cox and Engebretson led the scoring with 8 points apiece. Gil- bertson and Nickleby followed with a half a dozen tallies each. January 29 HUDSON 33—PRESCOTT 26 A Prescott team with plenty of power gave the Raiders a hectic evening when they almost defeated the Hudson quint in the closing minutes of play. Engebretson and Muckenhirn saved the evening as they drop| ed in 15 and 18 (joints respectively. Cox followed with 7 (mints, and his ball handling and rebounds greatly aided the Raiders’ teamwork. February 1 HUDSON 34— NEW RICHMOND 17 Leading the Raiders to their victory over the I igers were “Bob” Engebretson and Howard “Rev Cox with 14 and nine points respectively. The doubling of the score showed Raider defense at a high point, although many offensive mistakes and rough playing held the Hudson score comparatively low. A second quarter lead was taken by the Raider lads, who maintained it through- out the progress of the game. February 8 HUDSON 22—MENOMONIE 25 Playing smooth and cautious ball throughout the game, the Hudson boys were deprived of victory by a small margin of three (joints. The score was tied at sev- eral stages of the game, and fine shooting and passing were shown by both teams. This game was said to be “the game of the season, in fighting and in all-around good ball playing. Engebretson and Muckenhirn were high scorers with 9 and 8 (joints rcspect- ivelv. Cox and Nickleby played fine games at their (jositions. February 11 HUDSON 24—MAHTOMEDI 30 In a non-confererce tilt played in the Hamline Field House, as preliminary game to the I lamline-Carleton game, the Raider lads got their chance to plav on a regula- tion co'lege floor. Slightlv confused by the length and width of the gymnasium floor the Raiders could not play up to par. The Mahtomedi team has since taken the championship of the Little Five Suburban conference, and went to the district tourna- ment before being eliminated. Cox and Engebretson led in scoring with nine and seven (joints. Nelson, star center for Mahtomedi, racked up ten points. February 15 HUDSON 42—RIVER FALLS 67 A sharpshooting pair of Falls' guards led the attack which ended in a decisive loss for the Raiders in the second match between the two quints. The Falls led throughout the game: and although Hudson played very good hall, they could not match the high average of mid-floor shots made by their opponents. |ohn Strom took over a forward posi- tion in this game and did himself proud by tallying 14 points. Muckenhirn and Enge- bretson followed with 11 and 10 respect- ively. I he game was exciting and mostly offensive from the start. It was a hard one to lose, for the Raiders were definitely eliminated from the conference champion- ship race as a result of the tussle.

Q. . . . 1945 HOMECOMING “Col-pak Colfax was the slogan which featured the huge pep fest for Hudson’s nine- teenth homecoming game on October 5. The Hudson Raiders met the Colfax Norgs on the Hudson athletic field. An elaborate program was held during the half when our Homecoming queen, Cretch- en Luebke, was crowned by the football cap- tain, Robert Engebretson. After the victorious game the students and alumni marched to the school gymnasium where, surrounded by ‘‘‘football atmosphere , a good time was enjoyed by everyone present Here, coke, coffee, and brownies were served while the more spirit-minded people tried their best at the art of dancing under a can- opy of blue and white streamers. The dance for the Open House was under the direction of Jack Cornells en, members of the social committee, and Miss Karlson, faculty adviser. Refreshments at the party were under the direction of Mrs. Beggs, Mrs. Quale, and Miss Mathews. Doris Bogut was the student chairman with Arlene Emerson, Donna Foss, and Laurel Harwell on the com- mittee. Refreshments at the game were sponsored by the G A. C. under the leadership of Roxana Kruse and Mis? Hughes, adviser. June Jackson was the student chairman of the publicity for the journalism class. Miss Mcllquham was the faculty adviser. Downtown publicity was managed by chair- man, William Hooley, Eleanor Thompson, and Marjorie Hancock with Mr. Heiting, adviser. Mrs. Frances Rolle was in charge of the election and coronation of the queen. Other members of the committee were Doris Wein- berg, chairman. Barbara Egbert, Yvonne Stew- art, Barbara Zezza, and Margaret Cunning- ham. The decorations in the hall, the gym, and the athletic field were prepared by Donald Early, chairman, Inez Erlandson, Helen Har- rison, Lorraine Kruse, William Allds, June Lomnes, Julie Ann Swanson, and Miss Hughes, adviser. General pep activities were carried out by Shirley Erb, chairman, the cheerleaders, and Miss Madison. Chairman of the pep assembly was Rita McMahon with Miss Hanson and Mr. McMil- lan, advisers. Managing the finances were Eugene St. Ores, chairman, John Nelson, and Mr. Weit- kamp. Gretchen Luebke and Miss Murphy receiv- ed and registered guests of Open House. Mr. Rock granted all permits for the dance. A successful and victorious homecoming was brought to a close when the dance ended at 11:30. Arrangements for the Homecoming activ- ities were in charge of Lester Muckenhirn. chairman, and Miss Lee, adviser. SENIOR G. A. C. Sports, parties, initiation, and other activ- ities make up the yearly program of the G. A. C., which was advised this year by Miss Hughes. The girls who compete actively in sports, both in and outside of school, are given points for each sport in which they participate. After receiving three hundred and fifty points, a member is eligible for the G. A C emblem. When a girl has earned seven hundred and fifty points, she receives a medal, and. if. by the time she is a enior, she has earned two thousand points she is eligible to receive a letter H”. She may earn these points by taking part in school sports and various in- dividual activities such a' tennis, skating, horseback riding, hiking, and bicycling The sports began with kickball in Sep- tember in which the sophomores took all the honors. The juniors won at both basketball and scrimmage ball. The volleyball tournament was won by the seniors. During the ba ketball tournament the victorious juniors played a group of alumni, now attending River Falls Teachers College and won by a large margin. The social activities began with the initia- tion of new members. The initiation committee was composed of Kathryn Nelson, June Jack- son, Jane Gilbert on, and Doris Bogut. The initiation began with a supper and then the proceedings of the initiation took place. Last of all the twenty-five new members wore sent on a scavenger hunt One of the ways the G. A. C. earned mon- ey was by selling hot coffee and doughnuts at the football games. The girls as isting this project were Roxana Kruse, Kathryn Nelson, Eunice Simpson, Jane Gilbertson, Ruth Sand- berg. Helen Harrison, and June Jackson. Towards the end of the year other social functions were carried out and preparations made for the coming year.

The Hi-Y Club, with Mr. Rock as adviser, started off the year in October with the annual initiation of new members. A number of stunts were performed by the new members which included such things as pushing peanuts the length of the gym with their noses, counting the number of windows in the school building, counting the numlier of steps in the school, and mea- suring the length of the athletic field with a piece of |«iper. Mr. Stanley I-amb, Northwest area sup- ervisor. was the s]� eaker at another meet- ing and explained to the members what the Hi-Y stood for and some of the work it has done in this area. In Novemlier. the club sent two dele- gates, arren ()tterson and Eugene St. )res, to Mankato for a convention which is held every year there with delegates from Kruse, Virginia Schwerm.

Shirley Erb and Doris Weinberg are snapshot editors; Eu- gene St. Ores writes of the Hi-Y Club's activities. Thomas Schullo takes care of debate and forensic write-ups. The pub- lication writeups are done by Roger Lyksett. and the feature pages are written bv June Jackson and Shirley Yarns. Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. Discus- sions were held under those topic headings that gave the delegates an idea on how to run their clubs. This convention lasted two days with delegates sleeping over night in houses which the people so generously open- ed up to these members. On November 30, the Hi-Y sponsored the performance of “Blithe Spirit” given by the College Masquers of the River Falls Teachers College. Due to the number of activities the members of the Hi-Y belonged to, the club didn t function as well as it wanted to during the last half of the school year. The officers of the club are Eugene St. Ores, president; Stephen Bush, vice president: Warren Otterson, secretary- treasurer; and Mr. Rock, adviser. 56 Selling budget tickets, keeping books, and account- ing for the money in the stu- dent activity fund are only a few of the many tasks of Mr. Weitkamp, Eugene St. Ores, and John Nelson, who are the faculty, senior, and junior activity managers. Taehopera, the dramatic and speech organization un- der the supervision of Mrs. Rolle, presented one act plays and assisted other groups with makeup and staging problems during the year. Recording the history of the school in pictures and writing is the work of the True Blue Annual staff. All of the members of the jour- nalism clas? are members of the staff. Many of the Hi-Y activities of former years were can- celled this year as the mem- bership was smaller than other years. forensic (Contest . . .

The only social event this year was the formal banquet held on May 13. at the Hudson Hotel. At this time the senior who had earned the most points as a Ta- chopera member received a dramatic pin. 58 cftCusic Qontest . . . Happy over the good showing that the small musical groups had made at the con- test the week before, the larger musical groups left school for the River Falls music contest on Friday morning, April 26, de- termined to do their very best. The grouj s participating in the con- test were the Boys’ Glee Club, who receiv- ed an A, the Mixed Chorus an A, the Girls’ Glee Club an A, the Concert Band an A, and the Orchestra a B. At 4:00 o’clock in the afternoon the part of the contest that everyone had l een waiting for came. As the hands marched down past the judges stand, it was easy to see that the contest was very close. Al- though River Falls was awarded the trophy, the Hudson hand received an A and deserves much praise for its excellent marching. All of the criticisms made by the judges were good, and as one of them said, “It was a professional i erformance. better than many professional bands on parade.” SONG DEDICATIONS: “You’re the Only Star in My Blue Hea- ven”—Bob DeWitte “Oh, How I Hate to Get Up in the Morn- ing’’—“Gil” “Prisoner’s Song”—Hudson students “When Irish Eyes Are Smiling”—LeVine Riley “Marjorie”—Vernon Christensen “Hut Sut”, “Chickery-Chick”, etc. — All language classes “I’ve Got Gobs of I-ove For the Navy”— Shirley Yarns “K-Katy”—“Rev” Cox “Long Ago and Far Away”—Senior’s ser- enade to freshman class “He’s My Guy—June Jackson “I Don’t Want to Walk Without You”— “Sibby” and “Engle” “You’ll Never Know” — Miss Murphy’s geography tests “I Love You, I Love You, I Love You”— Alice’s theme song on report card days “You Won't Be Satisfied”—Roxana Kruse “Oh, Johnny”—Bonnie Sweitzer “As Time Goes By”—Sob!

'Success! ! “Vivacious Lady”, a comedy in three acts ha ed upon the motion picture of the same title, was presented in the high school auditor- ium bv the senior class Friday evening. May 10, 1946, at 8 p. m.. under the direction of Mrs. Frances- Rolle. Peter Morgan (Eugene St. Ores . who is an up and coming young professor of botanv at Sharon College, makes a trip to New York with the intention of rescuing his nlaybov cousin, Keith Betson (Thomas O’Connell), from the wiles and ways of a Miss Francie Brent (Elizabeth Williamson), a chorus girl in one of Broadway’s current hits. But in separating her and Keith, he proceeds to fall in love with this “vivacious lady’’ and a secret wedding winds up a two-day, whirlwind courtship, with Keith the only attendant. Upon bringing Francie back to “Old Sharon” he also brings himself down to earth when he realizes he must break the news to his supposedly frail mother (Elaine Gibbon) who has an imagin- ary heart condition, his righteous fiancee. Helen (June Jackson),, and his pompous and dominating father, Dean of Sharon (Lester Muckenhirn). often referred to as “de Prexv” by the colorful and philosophical negro maid (Lovern Fenn). Heleh, though not suspecting that Francie is Peter’s wife, senses ‘omething is going on that she doesn't know about the night of the prom. When Keith and Peter manage to wangle Francie past the ticket- taker (Robert DeWitte) by passing her off as a new student, Helen accuses Francie of not remaining true to Keith. A free-for-all brawl highlights the scene immediately after the fortunate exit of the photographer (John Cor- nelissen) and reporter (Jack Cashman) who would certainly liked to have played up a fight between rivals for one of Sharon's most eminent professors. Culpepper (George Richie), Peter’s witty assistant is very proficient in c2 he Blue Belt . . . The annualHudson grade school operetta, “The Blue Belt’’, by Dorothy Gaynor Blake, was presented to the public on March 8, 1946, in the high school auditorium. The leading characters were taken from the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades. In a haunted dell lives a band of Flower fairies who are constantly disturbed by Spry (Dick Brown), a sprite. As the play opens, Hag (Joyce Ryden), witch, has hidden Prin- cess Ellanore (Phyllis Danielson), daughter of King Gorumpus (James Trollen), in the Magic Hill, where she is under a spell of sleep. Halvor (Edward Boody), a beggar bov, through possession of a Magic Belt, turns into a Prince. He sings a song that awakens Ellanore, and they fall in love at first sight. Hag, with the gnomes, led by Noname (Gail Gibbon), get? possession of the Blue Belt and casts a spell on Halvor which turns him into a bear This pleases King Gorumpus, who has not approved of Halvor. Ellanore appeals to Thim- belina (Juliette Clark), queen of the Fairies, to find the Blue Belt, and by its return Halvor again becomes a prince. caring for arid capturing women’s affections — he thinks, but finds things not to his liking when he discovevs his superior is married to the current aop.le of his eve! The mischievous cientific “brain” is aLo verv adept at whist- ling “long and low” when the occasion arose. It proved a costly habit as Mr Noble (Robert Engebretson). a noted man of the times, upon hearing Culpepper’s utterance, Refused a prom- ised library, to the college. Francie. in order to be near Peter, enrolls in his botany class, which is already over- flowing with girl who have their eves on the voung professor. Included in the group are Claire (Marie Starr), June (Virginia Schwerm and four other loving lasses. (Roxana Kruse. Kathrvn Nelson, Helen Sveen, and Shirley Yarns) Mr. Morgan, although suspecting some re- lationship between his on and the charming redhead, reaches no conclusion until he walks in on them unexpectedly and f:nds them in each other’s arms He is shocked and hor- rified. but Mrs. Morgan, contrary to her hus- band’s wi her is hanpy about the whole affair and breaks awa from her husband’s domin- eering attitude bv leaving him when Francie leaves Peter and they both board a train for New York Young Peter and his father finally persuade them to come back when they send telegrams, board the tvain. and forget the role of distinguished professor . After return- ing to Sharon, Mr. Morgan revises his views about Francie and accepts her as Peter’s wife. Helen is. not entirely left, out in the cold as Keith intimate - that he will see that she’s taken care of. The task of selecting appropriate costumes for the group was ably handled by Beverly Lund and Jean Bohne while the Tachopera Club was in charge of make-up. Robert Pen- man and Donald Frev fulfilled their .iobs as stage managers, and Evelyn Jorstad and Kath- leen Hallenberger wore r spon ible for all the properties needed. Prompting was done by Eunice Simpson. Doris Weinberg, and Gretchen Luebke Newspaper publicity was handled by June Jackson. However King Oerumpus plans three im- possible tasks that Halvor must perform be- fore he can claim the hand of Ellanore Through the charm of the Blue Belt, he passes all the tests, and King Gorumpus has to give Ellanore to him.

A new student just entering high school is assigned to a definite adviser and advisory group. '1'h . re are fourteen groups, inc ud- ing two junior high groups. The advisory group meets once every two weeks, usually on Wednesday. The group is a place for discussion of various matters of concern to the students. Members are asked to take an active part in their advisory group meet- ings and do all in their jxiwer to make them helpful. The first job of the advisory group is to elect officers from the student body to represent their group. The aim of the advisory group is to bring tip and discuss matters of improvement that would aid the students and the school, and the council representative acts as deputy to the Student Council. Another objective of the advisory group is training the students in social ac- tivities, civic and school resjxmsibilities, personality and character development, home responsibilities, educational guidance, and vocations. ()ne meeting of the year is designated Vocations Day. Such groups as aviation, science, related arts, commercial, teaching. he ©uv One-act ‘Tlays . How’s my make-up? Ohhhh! 1 for- got my lines! What’s my cue? Prompters in place. Auditorium lights out. Stage lights dimmed. Curtain up! And so began the House of Greed”, the first of the two one-act plays presented at the high school, November 16. Wealthy Letitia Roberts, about whom the “House of Greed” revolved, was ably characterized by Doris Bogut. This dra- matic mystery play was well cast, and al- though of a serious nature, it was sjxjtted here and there with amusing quips by Miss Roberts’ maid, Mamie (June Porter). Other members of the cast were Cariotta Hendricks, Miss Roberts’ widowed sister (June Lomnes), Cedric Roberts, Letitia’s nephew (William Allds), Jerry McArthur, a salesman (Robert Westhoff), Gwenda 1-ee, Cedric’s fiancee and famous actress (Elizabeth Williamson), and Detective nursing, engineering, conservation, and medicine were arranged. Several specialized speakers were present to relate their exper- iences in the different fields. The advisory groups sponsored the par- ties and refreshments given after football and basketball games. Several of the groups worked on projects of special interest to the students. Miss Hughes’ and Mr. Weit- kamp’s advisory groups organized a Junior Red Cross Club to make Christmas toys to raise money for the organization. Other groups were interested in obtaining names of foreign students with whom they could correspond while others made scrapbooks describing Hudson’s activities and places of scenic interest. On May 14. Orientation Day, the eighth grade graduates were invited to visit Hudson High School to learn about high school activities. Several students were se- lected to act as guides to the new students entering high school the following year. Another task of the advisory groups is to plan the programs for the next year. The advisers help the students with such things as major and minors and college pre- paratory courses. ♦ ♦ Brooks of the New York police (Howard Cox ). l'he curtain next rose to the scene of a newspaper office, which was the back- ground for the comedy of nine girls— “Woman’s Page (Uncensored)”. The trials and tribulations of the fairer sex with na- ture and their better halves were given the general once over and proved a very inter- esting subject. The cast included Barbara Egbert, Phyllis Danielson. Joy I.arson, Julie Ann Swanson, Bonnie Sweitzer, Patricia Moen, Shirley Erb, Ruth Sandberg, and Yvonne Stewart. The average length of each play was thirty minutes, and each half hour was packed with good dramatic ability. Both plays directed by Mrs. Rolle. were well chosen for high school acting and provided a variety of entertainment. M I. Miss McLquham’s advisory group officers 2.

The awaited announcement came from Coach Crowe when he stated that the 1946 captains were Jack Gilbertson and Howard Cox. Sherwood Marsh 'une Jackson Grctchen Luehke, and Elaine Gibbon. Carl Sandberg acted as moderator in the debating of racial, religious, and social intolerance, which is an everincreasing, up-to-date problem. The musical talent of the class was presented by John Strom playing a cornet solo, and Marie Starr, violin soloist. The Mixul Chorus sang “Onward, Christian So'diers and “Bow Down Thine F'ar and the Bovs’ Octet presented the ballad, “Friendship”. The members of the commencement committee were John Cornellissen.

He was also host to his Junior Raiders, stating that the team was “as fine a group of hoys as we’ve ever had in Hudson High School”. Letters were awarded to the members of the squad who had earned them. Of the members there were eight seniors, eight juniors, two sophomores, and one fresh- man. Football pictures from every section of the nation were shown immediately fol- lowing the program.

(Continued form page 38) before in Hudson’s cracker-box, the Blue boys trampled a weak Colfax five by a big margin. Even so. Raider defense was not at its best. John Strom, new addition to the forward line, racked up 22 points, the highest single scoring total for one game for the Raider netmen all year. Engebret- son made his usual good showing with 10 tallies, and Muckenhirn and Gilbertson fol- lowed with nine and eight jx ints. Barstad led the Norgs with 15 points. Eight of the ten Hudson basketballers scored, with each man seeing action. The total of eight wins and four losses of the season recalled many mistakes that should not have been made, but the hoys came through in many pinches and made each game interesting. TOURNAMENT GAMES March 27 HUDSON 29—RIVER FALLS 36 The Raider five entered the tourna- ment race with determination and p’enty of fight, a fact which was shown by the action and excitement throughout their first game against River Falls, on March 27, at 9:00 p. m. .Although River Falls again walked off with the victory, they were kept on their toes all the time and worked hard for every point they got. The score of 36-29 un- derestimates the tension of the whole game, as the score seldom varied more than three points in any quarter. During the first half. River Falls held a consistent one to two jxrint lead. The end of the third quarter found 1 Iudson leading by one point. An early fourth quarter bucket increased the Raider lead, but the loss of center Enge- bretson on fouls was the turning point that allowed five quick buckets for the Falls. Engebretson led in scoring, and stood out very prominently on defense. March 28 HUDSON 35—SPRING VALLEY 31 A jxior showing of Raider play came out in the second tournament game against the Valley. Strom led scoring with 13 points, closely followed by Engebretson with nine. The second and third quarters were the best played periods for Hudson. The game was rough, with many fouls being committed, and not as interesting as the other games had been. March 29 HUDSON 31—ST. CROIX FALLS 38 Playing their third consecutive game in as many nights found the Raiders no match for their northern opponents. Al- though the score was close, St. Croix Falls outplayed Hudson all night. The Raider offense would not click, and defense was not up to par. Strom and Engebretson led with ten and seven points. The end of the season saw River Falls walking off with the conference champion- ship. and also taking the tournament on the River Falls State Teachers College floor. They were beaten out in a close, exciting game with Osceola in the St. Croix Falls match. S9 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS . . .
