TRUE BLUE Qun (Book “ tK Guardians of Our Future People of the Year Highlights of the Month Events of the Week Activities of the Day o|j tke Doris Bogut .... Editor Barbara Egbert Assistant Editor Stephen Bush, Thomas Lomnes Business Managers Elizabeth Gilbertson Adviser For ewore. We have tried to make this your book of the year, unfolding the activities and presenting the people who have high- lighted our months, recalling the weekly happenings and everyday scenes which filled our fleeting hours. We hope that in future years this book will bring back all the cherished memories of this school year . . . your habits, your associations, your good times, your achievements. D edicanon For his faithful years of capable, efficient service to our school and our faculty, for his never ending interest in our school activities and student organizations, for his helpful and friendly manner toward us all; we the True Blue” staff of 1947 respectfully dedicate our book of the year to Mr. Lars Fyksen. Quanc!!ian4 ajj Throughout the year our superintendent and faculty patiently guide us in unlocking the doors of knowledge —a knowledge not based entirely upon our hooks. Unselfishly and without thought of personal recognition, they are always willing to give a helping hand and extra time to the individual student in solving his diffi- culties and scholastic problems. They are the first to rejoice with us over our accomplishments. From their life patterns of integrity and progressive ideas, by their wise counsel and fine personal example, every student is guided along a path which will lead him to a fuller, richer life and better future citizenship. Our superinten- dent and faculty are our guardians, not only of the present, but they are GUARDIANS OF OUR FUTURE. Oun Untune... SufieitKtettdeKt SdcuaicC P.

Bar- bara possesses numerous qualities that this honor implies. Her s|x-cial contributions to Hudson High have been in the fields of music and speech, although she has been well represented in many other activities. She has been able to maintain a consistent record of excellence in scholarship as well as dis- tinguish herself in extra-curricular activities. Because she has shown a fine type of charac- ter and a loyalty to her school, the faculty is happy to present the award to this deserving student. Senior Qlass history . . . The H. H. S. '47 set sail in September of 1943 on a four year voyage across the Sea of Knowledge. The mates elected Warren Otterson as captain for the first lap of the journey with Mr. Heiting as the navigator. They were assisted by an able crew of Helenniary Mickelson, Ward Stevenson, and Doris Bogut. e, inex- perienced sailors, were made better acquaint- ed with the methods of guiding such a ship by the crew of the H. 11. S. '44. On the second lap of the journey the command of the boat changed hands. Bar- bara Zezza took over the duties of captain with Mr. Heiting again navigating. Other assisting officers were Donna Peterson, James Ruemmele, John Nelson, and Warren Otterson. Social life on board was pepped up by a visit from the crew of the H. H. S. '46 in October. In the fall of 1945 the third lap of the voyage was begun. To guide the ship along the eventful course of this part of the journey, Stephen Bush took over the command of the ship. His crew of officers included Margaret Dabruzzi, Shirley Ryan, Jack Gilbertson, and Helenmary Mickelson. and the navigator, Mr. Heiting, gave him valuable assistance in his job. ith his officers and his committees, captain Bush led the crew through a successful prom. The mates of the H. H. S. '46 were the special guests at this event. The theme of a Southern garden was beautifully carried out by the decorators. Everyone had a wonderful time. Members of the crew were also appointed to decorate for the commencement of the mates of the H. H. S. '46. The sands of time ran swiftly, and the ]x rt was soon in sight. Jack Gilbert- son assumed his duties at the helm with Mr. Heiting faithfully navigating again. His officers for the home stretch were Bar- bara Zezza. Dorothy Nelson, Gerard Mc- Mahon and Leona Dahlke. The ship’s destin- ation loomed large on the horizon. The mates gathered together on the deck to give a last performance. The play, “She’s Got Everything”, directed by Mrs. Rolle, was the successful outcome. At long last the captain steered the H. H. S. ’47 into Port Commencement on May 22, 1947, voyage successfully completed.

Robert Westhoff Vice President .................... George Nelson Secretary ..................... Dorothy Petersen Treasurer..........................Barbara Bargen Our class of '48 has always taken an active part in school activities. Many of our fifty-four members well represented us in sports, music, debate, and declamation in our freshman year. We began our adventurous high school careers by electing William Haugen, presi- dent ; Barbara Bargen, vice president: Roger Luebke, secretary; Donald Early, treasurer; Bonnie Sweitzer, council representative; and Miss Chubb, adviser, to lead us. We returned as energetic sophomores the next fall. That year’s leaders were Barbara Egbert, president; Lois Wilcox, vice president; Barbara Myrvold, secretary- treasurer; Lloyd Erickson, council repre- sentative; and Mr. Crowe, as adviser. Again we were very active in all school (scholastic and extra-curricular) activities. We were well represented in all the musical organizations, athletics, and dramatics. Last fall we entered Hudson High as sophisticated juniors, to continue our strug- gle for knowledge. Each month brought its own social activities for the students, and we didn’t let anv pass without j artic- ipating in them. There were the class and special parties; the football season, with ten of our fellows in there fighting all the way; the basketball season, with seven of our mighty males on the teams; and the Christ- mas program. Our junior class play was given in March, and was a huge success. Boxing again called (many junior) pugilists into action, and our boys won many fights for the squad. Spring brought early morn- ing marching and strenuous practice for the music contest. It also brought prepara- tions for our wonderful prom. Now, with exams over, we are leaving three very successful years behind us; and are looking forward to our final year here, and our futures. We can truly be proud of our class— the class of ’48! 21 Fourth Row—Richard Kinney, Arvin Lovaas. David Cleveland, Neil Kalner, William Hooley, Ronald Payscn, I arba a Eckel, Elton Dahlke.

Miss Lee As the years roll on. we look hack on the fifty-four bewildered freshmen, the class of '49. as they entered I ludson I ligh School. At that time we elected Patricia Hoel, president; Richard Kinney, vice president: David Cleveland, secretary; Arvin Lovaas, treasurer; Shirley Benedict. Student Council representative; and Miss Madison, adviser. The year passed calmly by; and when September of the next year ro led around, fifty-two of us returned to Hudson High to resume our studies. We entered many school activities with several of us joining the Glee Clubs. Mixed Chorus, Band, and Orchestra. Eight of us partici|)ated in speech work with the more enthusiastic joining Tachoperas. Mary sports-minded girls joined Sr. (i. A. C aft r going through a trying initiation at th . hands of the ruthless upperclassmen. ()ur boys were exceedingly active in sports, as four of them were on the “A squad in football and one played with the “A basketball squad. The exceptional abi ity of our eight pugilists proved once again that you can’t keep a good class down. And so we close this year as enlight- ened sophomores, well prtpared to take on the resjxmsibilities as juniors of the coming year. 11 freshmen President ............... Vice President........... Secretary .............. Treasurer ............... Council Representative .. Adviser ................. Make way for the class of ’50! Our freshman class with its 75 eager students was one of the largest in recent years. We had several parties with other classes during the year, the first, a get- acquainted party with the seniors. Some of us were rather bashful, hut season, d sen- iors took us in hand, danced with us. and soon had us enjoying ourselves immensely. ........... Harold Rock .........Charles Nelson ...... Sally Cunningham ............ Joan Grady ........ Thomas Haugen .......... Miss Hughes As the weeks flew by, our shyness disappeared. Soon we were proving our abilities in Band, Orchestra. Glee Clubs. Debate, and speech activities. A few of us also participated in the three one-act plays presented for the public. Many of the girls joined in the G. A. C. activities and the hoys in other sports. The fresh- man class had several outstanding football and basketball players. We were proud of th m when thev received their letters.

SEPTEMBER 23- Tonight the seniors strutted their stuff before the frosh. “Yup, the senior-freshman party went over with a bang.” The freshmen seemed a little bashful though during ladies choice when the senior girls asked them to dance. OCTOBER 11— Has anyone seen a stray cat? Tonight was homecoming and what with the slogan, “Cage The Cats,” the down-town windows were prac- tically squirming with cats. We lost our game, but everyone seemed to have an enjoyable time at the party afterwards. OCTOBER 31- Ghosts ’n goblins, gremlins ’n grumblebugs. They all appeared to- night (so they say). Seems almost everyone turned out in plaid shirts, slacks and jeans for the Hallowe’en party. They seemed to have a gay time, too, tripping the light fantastic over corn stalks, black cats, and witches’ broom sticks. NOVEMBER 18- Bow ties, nylons, high heels, and sports coats. The whole high school turned out today in their Sunday best to welcome the Rev. and Mrs. Wood at a reception in his honor. It was held in the gymnasium and tasty tid bits were provided by Miss Madison’s home economics class. DECEMBER 2— Has anyone noticed any new cracks in the corridor floors? I’d swear there must be some after all the added weight we picked up over Thanksgiving vacation. DECEMBER 14- Excuse me, but you were standing under the mistletoe! Yes, the Yule season got around at last and Hudson High celebrated it by the annual Christmas party. DECEMBER 19— The school put on a beautfiul Christmas program tonight. It seemed to bring home the real meaning of Christmas. DECEMBER 20— Our Christmas vacation started as of 3:45 today. Everyone seemed anxious to get out. Of course, you’d never guess why!

Alumni registering at the Homecoming dance. 26 homecoming The twentieth annual Homecoming of Hudson High, which rolled around again on October 11, was a success in spite of the cold, rainy weather that accompanied it. For our slogan we had “Cage the Cats , and the down town store windows were prac- tically purring with black cats. The advisory groups had decorated the windows and on Thursday afternoon they were judged by Dave Wilcox. The Dairy Bar was honored with first prize, Nelson and Suennen second, and Erickson's rated third. Winners were given free season activity tickets. During the half of the game on Friday eve- ning, our queen, Helenmary Mickelson, stand- ing amidst her royal attendants, was crowned by Curtis Nickleby. 'Ilie marching band form- ed an “H” behind her regal throne. After the game the students and alumni made their way to the high school gymnasium to attend the dance. Comments on the dance coming from the returned G.I.’s and “old grads” who attended were favorable. The ex- uberance manifested by the students at the dance seemed to make up partially at least, for the 12-6 defeat from River Falls. A little after 11:30, students and alumni left—the twentieth Homecoming for Hudson High was over. ke football «Banquet The Hudson High School football team was honored at the annual banquet staged by W. E. Haugen, local business man and follower of the team. The gala affair was held at the Hotel Hudson on November 21. The guests included the members of the team, its coaches and the faculty, members of the press, and the cheerleaders. Mr. Haugen welcomed his guests, and stat- ed that he was glad to have the privilege of entertaining the team each year. After the banquet, Head Coach Fladager reviewed the season; after this the letter- men were announced and letters were awarded. The big announcement of the evening came when George Nelson and John Ferguson were introduced as Co-captains of the 1947 Raiders. Following this came short talks from several of the guests, after which the group left for the high school to view football movies. cAdvisory Qroup Reception “How do you do, Mr. Rock , I'm so happy to meet you, Mrs. Wood , were among the greetings heard as the entire student body made its way down the receiving line at the reception held for the Reverend and Mrs. Daniel Wood on Wednesday, November 20, at 2:55 p. m. The receiving line included Mr. and Mrs. E. P. Rock, the Reverend and Mrs. Wood, Mrs. Elizabeth Gilbertson, and Mr. Alvin Weitkamp. The students entered the gymnasium by way of the balcony down through the south door entrance. Appropriate decorations adorned the long table at which coffee or cocoa and open faced sandwiches were formally served by the members of Miss Madison’s 9 o’clock home economics class, who also had prepared them. It was strikingly evident that afternoon that Hudson High was producing some attrac- tive males and females. Perhaps it was the bow ties, suits, heels, and nylons that made this fact so noticeable. If some of our lasses were limping by the time the reception was over, it was because of the high heeled shoes they wore. The fellows were too busy to notice this, however, as they worked at the delicate job of balancing a saucer and teacup in one hand and giving their ties a nervous twitch with the other. The whole affair went smoothly and gracefully, and the objective, which was to give students an opportunity to learn what receptions are and how they are given, was accomplished. ie hree One-act dPlays In October, we started off our series of one act plays by presenting Triumph in Ashes” for the high school assembly. Joy Larson and Julie Ann Swanson helped Mrs. Rolle direct, while Arlene Preble. Jane Cornelissen. Robert Zarske, Robert Westhoff, Ruth Sather, and Polly Thompson made up the cast. In this play a beautiful oil painting flayed an import- ant part in helping reunite two lovers, and crushing the pow’er of an obsessed aunt over her talented young niece. In November, the curtain went up on a melodramatic farce, Thank You, Doctor , starring William Allds, June Lomnes, Ruth Sandberg, Donna Foss, and James Prescott. Barbara Bargen and Patricia Moen helped di- rect. This intricate plot revolved around a pearl necklace which was presumably stolen, and only after many hectic events in the be- wildered doctor’s office, was the mystery solved. The Crazy Violet”, a farce, appeared in January. Bonnie Rose. Julie Ann Swanson, Dorothy Olson, Nancy Booton, Marlene Red- man. Yvonne Martin, Grace Hanley, and Phyllis Danielson riotously solve the mystery of two identical, shiny, black bags and discover for themselves if the one belonging to Violet Rae really did contain a time bomb as the myster- ious stranger had said. The two student as- sistants for this production were Doris Bogut and Barbara Zezza. We presented all three plays for the public on Thursday evening. January 30. 27 (Christmas rProgram 'I'he annual Christmas program was held on Thursday evening, D.eember 19, 1946 at 8 p. m. in the High school auditor- ium. Three selections were sung hv the Girls' “A” Glee Club. They were “The Morning Star by Nicolai-Luvaas, “No Candle Was There and No Fire” by Lehmann, and “Glory He to God on High bv Rachmanin- off-Overbye. Donna Foss was the soloist for the second selection. The Mixed Chorus rendered four num- bers. They were “Adorames Te” by Pales- trina. “The Cherubic Hymn” by Gretchan- inoff, “Carol of the Hells by Leontovich- Wilhousky, and “Silent Night arranged by Ringwald. The hand then played “A Merry Christ- mas” by Frangkiser. To add to the Christmas spirit which had already taken hold, a play, entitled “Why the Chimes Rang by Raymond Alden, was presented. Characters included Holger, a peasant boy, portrayed by James Prescott: Steen, his younger brother, by Gail Gibbon: Kertel. their uncle, by William Allds: The Old Woman, Ronnie Sweitzer; Lords, la- dies, etc. include Howard Cox. Doris Bogut. Vernon Christensen, David Cleveland, Joy Larson, Robert Westhoff, Donald Early and Arlene Preble. Throughout the play, a se- lected chorus sang “The Sleep of the Childe Jesus by Gevaert, and “Angels We 1 lave Heard on High , backstage. Miss Edith Hanson and Mr. Ernest McMillan had charge of the music. The pay was directed by Mrs. Frances Rolle. The art adviser was Miss Helen Hughes, and Mr. Alvin Weitkamp was in charge of stage design. Juniors Score a SPCit in (flass 'TLry, USA (fase of Springtime” “If only she wasn't Mr. Abemaker’s daughter. Why would a sane and healthy ma'.e go fall for the daughter of the high school principal ? exclaims Hob Parker (Robert Westhof f). “Search me! I fell for the daughter of a candy-shop owner,” his younger broth- er Dickie (George Nelson) replies. Bob’s mother (Barbara Myrvold) is the mediator of the family and is always helping Bob out of his troubles. Mr. Park- er (Kenneth Payson), firmly believes in dis- ciplining his children and doesn’t think Mrs. Parker should be so easy on him. As usual Bob has himself in trouble: but this time it’s really bad. for Joan, his girl friend (Eileen Grupe), is angry with him and is planning to go out with a college man. This is too much for Bob. Dickie de- cides that he will help Bob get revenge on Joan. Though she’s not sure what it’s all about Gwen (Dorothy Swanson) helps Dickie set his booby traps, for she is willing to do anything for him. But the good intentions backfire, and the three P. T. A. women, Mrs. Brunswick (Helen Hauke), Mrs. James (Barbara Bar- gen), and Mrs. Hill (Dorothy Petersen), are caught in the cross fire. Of course, e verything is blamed on Bob, and now Joan, who was beginning to forgive him, is not so sure that she should. To add to the difficulties, Mr. Aber- naker's coat is dyed chrome yellow with the kitchen curtains, by Louella, the not too bright maid (June Lomnes). To make things even worse, the police take Bob to jail because he has two little animals that escaped from the zoo. Betty (Bonnie Sweitzer), Bob’s sister, and Eddie (Don Early), come running into the house to report that Bob has escaped. The detective (Curtis Nickleby) catches him at the house and is about to take him away when Miss Bright (Ruth Sather) comes. She explainss that the zoo is glad that Bob found the animals and took such good care of them. Incidentally, their good condition was due to the fact’ that Bob and Dickie gave their oatmeal to the animals every morning. Joan is proud of Bob. and Mr. Aber- naker (Bill Haugen) decides he won't make such a bad son-in-law after all. “A Case of Spring Time,” presented to the public March 7, was directed by Mr. McMillan, who was assisted by Bonnie Rose. Patricia Moen was the prompter, and Lois ilcox the business manager. 28 1947 DRAMATICS 1. “House of Greed cast. 2. “A Crazy Violet cast. 3. “Thank You, Doctor cast. 4. The Christmas Pageant. 5 and 6.

S.!” “All the beautiful roses, and the fas- cinating bridge scene at the entrance . . . “And wasn't that bandstand darling?” “What about those unique lamp posts, and the park benches ? “I really think, ‘A Night in Central Park' was a good theme.” “Well, it cer- tainly was different, and carried out well, too.” These are, of course, a few of the remarks made about our completely suc- cessful prom on May 2. Dave Kenwood and his orchestra made with the music for our gala evening. Dur- ing the intermission Eileen Grupe sang “II Bacio (Kiss Waltz) by Arditi. “Song of the Robin by Anna Case, and “One Kiss” by Sigmund Romberg. The Boys’ ()ctet sang “Gypsy Love Song and “Deep in My Heart”. For refreshments we had plenty of delicious punch made by Mrs. Stevenson and served by some of the seventh and eighth grade girls. The punch was served from a cake of ice that was hollowed out in the center.

The morning after her arrival she is awakened by three creditors. Miss Zitheras (Louise Borg), Miss Lodge (Barbara Zezza), and Chaffee (John Nelson), who demand their money. Carol, however, is comforted by Mrs. Car- ter, or Aunt Jane, (Doris Bogut), who, al- though skeptical, contrives with Waldo Edg- ington (Howard Cox), an equine adviser, to get Carol married off to a wealthy bachelor. When Jane suggests to Carol that she marry a South American mine owner, she states that she doesn’t want a man, but a job. Waldo, the creditors, and Jane put their heads together and come up with a solution. Fuller Partridge (Gerard McMahon), owner of a coffee company and a very eligible bach- elor, has just fired his secretary and agrees to take Carol as his secretary if Waldo will take half interest in a horse. Fuller is afflicted with a strange suscep- tibility to nearly everything he comes in con- tact with. When he received one of his at- tacks while in Carol’s apartment, Jane sug- gusts that he stay there and let Carol nurse him back to health, the idea being that men often become very fond of their nurses. Carol overworks, however, and is sent off to Lake Glenview, a fashionable resort. There she meets Howard Courtland (William Allds), a playboy. Waldo and Jane, believing that the acquaintance has gone far enough, since Courtland is broke, notify Fuller that Carol has had a relapse. This done, they wonder how they can get Carol to appear sick, since she still knows nothing of the plot for her to marry a rich bachelor. Professor Corrio (Warren Otterson), pro- vides the solution when he attempts to hyp- notize Carol. Carol, however, does not hyp- notize so easily, but Jane comes under me professor’s spell. Fuller hears her murmuring ‘ Fuller dear’’ and believes that it is Carol who is calling for him while she is uncon- scious. This leads to a romance in which Fuller asks Carol to marry him. Later he finds out from Courtland that this was all a plot to pay off Carol’s debts. Not knowing that Carol had nothing to do with the whole affair, he proceeds to discourage her. When he finds out that she knew as little as he about the whole affair, he wants her back. She returns to him only on pretense that she will marry him. Meanwhile she is secretly plotting to elope with Courtland. The two finally get together in the end, and it is understood that they will he married. Jane and Waldo decide that it isn’t a bad idea either, and the play ends happily with the two couples practically in marital bliss. The additional members of the cast were Dr. Blicker (Stephen Bush), Watkins (Martin O’Connell), Judge Hope (Wallace Gregerson), colored maid (June Porter), reporter (Donna Foss), Miss Ransome (Dorothy Olson), girl (Leona Dahlke) and colored musician (Ward Stevenson). The play was under the direction of Mrs. Frances Rolle, the dramatic coach. COMMENCEMENT Our class of 1947 put in its final appear- ance as seniors at the sixty-sixth annual com- mencement on Thursday evening, May 22, at eight o’clock. The traditional march, “Pomp and Circumstance,” filled the auditorium as the 57 seniors capped and gowned in blue ad- vanced slowly two by two down the aisle. “Educational Preparation for Life” was the theme of this program. After the presi- dent of the graduating class, John Gilbertson, had given his address, six seniors gave discus- sions explaining how our high school extra curricular activites have helped prepare us for future citizenship and enriched our under- standing and enjoyment of life. Doris Bogut discussed the benefits derived from our high school speech work; Warren Otterson. music; Helen Harrison and Gerard McMahon, physical education; Barbara Zezza, commercial courses; and Virgil Worrell, Junior Red Cross activi- ties. The musical portion of the exercises was provided by a number of our talented seniors. A piano solo “Polonaise” by Edward MacDow- ell was played by Barbara Zezza, and a vocal solo “Let My Song Fill Your Heart” was sung by Rita McMahon. The senior boys’ sextet and the Mixed Chorus also sang several num- bers. The senior class officers planned the com- mencement program. The baccalaureate service was held on Sunday, May 18, and was conducted by the Reverend Oscar Thompson of the Bethel Luth- eran Church. 32 Ctf£nt ajj tka HA eek � MARCH 4— Tonight we had the elimination boxing match and if anyone wanted to see sportsmanship, he did well to see the fellows down there sluggin’ away and then have enough friendly feelings (let alone energy) to smile at their opponents. It’s great to see the fellows could take it as well as give it even though it was just a friendly match. Speaking of matches have you matched the heavyweights up with last years. Last year—big, strapping seniors; this year—four big, strap- ping—freshmen. • MARCH 7— The juniors strutted their stuff tonight, and did a swell job of it too, what with ‘‘puppy-love, hot seats and multiplying chinchillas”. You guessed it, their class play, ‘‘A Case of Springtime.” MARCH 11— Tonight was the big night. We opened our boxing season with a bang, fan-fare, and what have you. We got a peek behind old Father Time’s mantel and whom should we see but a few boxing celebrities, Tommy Gibbons and Mike O’Dowd to name a few. Coming back to date though, we cuffed off a square 5%-5% tie with Ellsworth. A good start. MARCH 12— My, what bright faces we have this morning! The looks of ad- miration in the eyes of the lassies when they gaze on the manly forms of ‘‘ye ould boxing squad”. The fellows did well for themselves last night, noticeably some underclassmen. No wonder some of the senior girls are lamenting “Give us some men!” MARCH 14— “Sure and it’s a great time we been a havin’ tonight.” Good old St. Pat’s day and the annual party’s finally caught up with us. The decoration commmittee did themselves well. Really seemed like Old Erin itself, and speaking of decorations, the new clothes, heels, and ties made you really wonder if you were in good old H. H. S. Looked .,ood though. MARCH 21— The boxing squad came through tonight with a 5VI - 4Vj victory o.cr the “Falls”. MARCH 24— The speech students made a good showing of themselves today. We earned five “A ratings at the District Forensic Contest at River Falls High School.

The Mixed Chorus enjoyed three such tours this year. On Thursday morning, March 27, they journeyed to River Falls State Teacher’s College to present a musical program. The Chorus sang ten songs. Se- lections were also given by the Girls1 Triple Trio and the Boys’ Octet. Rita McMahon sang two alto solos. In the afternoon of the same day. they continued their journey, their destination being Baldwin High School. A program similar to the one given in River Falls was also given at Baldwin. Eileen Grupe was the soprano soloist in the afternoon, and Rita McMahon, the alto soloist. On Saturday, May 17, the Mixed Chorus again traveled out-of-town — this time to Northfield, Minnesota. Many schools were represented at this gathering. A 1000-voice choir was formed after which, a program was presented. 29 oTlfiixed Qhorus The Mixed Chorus, which has a mem- bership of 63, lias sung for several programs throughout the year. It has l ecome a famed organization in this community. Much ad- miration and praise goes to our directress, Miss Edith Hanson, for the unceasing effort which she has put forth to make Hudson High School’s music department such a success.

HDebate “That the Federal Government Should Provide a System of Complete Medical Care Available to All Citizens At Public Expense,” is the question that was debated this year by the members of the debate squad under the direction of Miss Helen 11 ughes, the debate coach. Early in the debate season, approxi- mately twenty debaters had the opportunity of hearing the interesting and helpful pro- gram at the annual speech institute on ()ctober 19. at the Eau Claire State Teach- ers College. Practice debates were held throughout the year to acquaint everyone concerned with the arguments pro and con. Monday and Thursday evenings at 7 o’clock were their regular meeting nights. All the veteran members of last year’s debate squad. Helen Harrison, Doris Bogut, Arlene Preble, and June Lonnies, partici- pated in their first battle of words for this season on December 14. when the squad traveled to Red Wing. Constance Hammill. Louise Borg. Barbara Zezza, Ann Brunner, and Daniel Borg witnessed their first de- bate at this time. On January 11. the squad and Miss Hughes travelled to Eau Claire to partici- pate in the debate contest being held at the Teachers College. The contest consisted of four rounds, in which the Hudson nega- tive team won all of their rounds while the affirmative lost all of theirs. The next and last important event for the debaters took place in Chippewa Falls on February 15. It was the Northwestern Wisconsin debate tournament. The squad came through fairly well, lacking only one win to be eligible to go to the state contest at Madison. The negative team, which con- sisted of Doris Bogut and June Lomnes, netted two wins out of a possible three. The affirmative team, composed of Barbara Zezza, Helen Harrison, and Arlene Preble came through with one win and two losses. Even though debate isn’t taught as a subject in Hudson High, its value and im- jMtrtance to the students can readily he seen. When this year’s season ended, the debaters knew the ins and outs of socialized medicine, hut they also had acquired some other knowledge—not so tangible, yet ne- cessary for a future citizen in a democratic nation. They had learned the art of think- ing logically, weighing all sides of the argument fairly, coming to a definite con- clusion, and then expressing those conclus- ions to their fellow men. 45 forensics As March rolled around, the forensic contestants began practicing their speeches for the annual league meet held at the River Falls High School on March 24.

Attend- ing these meetings are the 24 members who are interested and active in dramatics, for- ensics, debate, make-up, costuming, or prompting. Mrs. Frances Rolle. the club adviser, called the first meeting of the year on Sep- tember 5, and at that time the following officers were elected: Barbara Zezza, presi- dent : Doris Bogut, vice-president: Ruth Sandberg, treasurer; Grace Hanley secre- tary; and Jov Larson, Student Council re- presentative.

Ujxin close inspection however, these creatures turned out to be the seven new club mem- bers : Phyllis Danielson, Shirley Benedict, Eleanor Thompson, Donald Early, Marlene Redman, Joyce Worrell, and Constance Lein. Recruits from the club’s ranks assist throughout the year in many of the school’s dramatic productions. The club also pro- duced the skit for the first pep assembly of the football season. Points are given to members who participate in these various activities, and a minimum of 25 points must be earned yearly by each member if he is to receive on -half grade point and con- tinued c tib membership. The social highlight of the club's sea- son was an old fashioned basket social held on Thursday evening, February 6. Work- ing on the premise, “that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,” all the lasses arrived with lavishly decorated bas- kets heaped with such specialties as: fruit salad, huge ham sandwiches, angel food cake, and apple pie.

Speed and accuracy are very important to students in Miss Karlson’s typing classes. )nce they are fair- ly well mastered, it is easy to breeze through the work of manuscripts and letters. The freshmen learn to master the difficulties in- volved in writing and pre- senting radio scripts. Such interesting subjects arc taught by Mrs. Rolle in the regular freshman Knglbh course. tlae Dau MAY 2— That big event has come at last. Tonight was the Junior Prom. The juniors did a splendid job of decorating too. The theme, “A Night in Central Park,” was carried out to great advantage, what with park benches, bandstand, and lampposts. Dave Kenwood furnished the music. Bob Westhoff and Helenmary Mickelson led the grand march. It was really something. The girls certainly looked sweet in their formals. Mm—the boys weren’t so bad either. MAY 9— “She's Got Everything” or so the senior class play said. Arlene Preble, Gerard McMahon, Doris Bogut, and Howard Cox lead the cast of the three act comedy. The play had a few serious spots, but most of it was one big laugh. The seniors did a fine job and can be proud of themselves. MAY 16— Oh, for some more sawdust! The seniors wrote their exams today, and by the looks on their faces, they seemed skeptical. Let’s hope things aren’t as bad as they look anyway. MAY 18- Today was baccalaureate and the Rev. Oscar Thompson gave the address. The idea that they were really graduating came home to the seniors, and it was a serious occasion from beginning to end. MAY 22- Commencement! As of tonight the seniors are no more, that is they can lay down their books and pencils. For many of them their freedom will only be for a few months. That goes in more ways than one, ’cuz several of the class will be tripping down the aisle to the tune of wedding wells before the year is over. Most of them, however, will be picking up their books and getting into the harness again. A reception was held afterwards for the seniors and their parents in the gymnasium. 4 1946 RAIDERS Third Row—Kenneth Payson. manager.

The game ended in a scoreless tie aft- er Hudson had repulsed tire rival's every effort to score. Iinemy tumbles and pen- alties combined with a stout Raider defense to shut out the heavier Trilresnien. Most of the action took place in Hudson territory as the Tribe was within the fifteen yard-line on four occasions only to be thwarted in their attempts to score. The Raider attack was practically non- existent. due to lack of blocking both in the line and in the back field. September 27 HUDSON 13—COLFAX 7 The B'ue Raiders chalked up their first win of the season by edging a stubborn Colfax team. 13 to 7. The Raiders had to come from behind to win, as the “Norgs scored first on a pass interception, early in the third quarter. ith its attack functioning the first time this season.

October 4 HUDSON 9—SPRING VALLEY 6 For the second consecutive week the Raiders hit the road, this time traveling to Spring Valley. The game was close and hard-fought though playing conditions were poor because of rain and mud which blank- eted the field. Hudson scored first on a safety in the first quarter. However, Spring Valley countered with a touchdown just before the half ended for a 6-2 lead. The Raiders struck back in the third period when “Rev Cox scored from twelve yards out. climaxing a thirty-eight yard ad- vance. Vernon Christensen and Cox divided ball carrying chores and Jack Gilbertson. Lvle Cameron, and Jerry Schlief were de- fensive aces. (Continued on Page 52) 1946 Raiders (Continued from Page 51) October 11 HUDSON 6—RIVER FALLS 12 On October 11 the Raiders returned to their own ball-yard for the big Homecom- ing game with the highly touted ild Cats of River Falls. Hudson though out-manned and out- weighed. was out to avenge last year’s de- feat and played excellent football for half of the game, to take a 6 to 0 half-time lead as a result of Howard Cox’s off-tackle slant from the Falls’ twenty. In the third period, the 'Cats countered when I-aufenherg went all the way on an intercepted pass. The winning marker saw River Falls hammer through the shattered Raider line one sustained drive which went yards to score the winning 6 points. October 18 NEW RICHMOND 13—HUDSON 12 Suffering a let down from the prev- ious week and hamj)ered by injuries, the Raiders absorbed their second consecutive loss, this time to New Richmond on October 18. by 13 to 12. Sloppy tackling, a weak-point all sea- son, led to Hudson's down-fall, as “One- Man Gang” Kelly, returned a Raider punt late in the fourth quarter for 70 yards and the winning touchdown. Kelly, the Tiger's only threat, was a thorn in the Raiders’ side all evening as he ground up yardage. Hudson scored twice on passes, once from Vern Christensen to Ward Stevenson, and once from Stevenson to Lyle Cameron. The loss completely shattered the dim title aspirations held up to this time. October 25 HUDSON 25—OSCEOLA 0 The Raiders returned to the win col- umn with vengeance on October 25, flatten- ing Osceola by 25 to 0. Hudson’s most impressive win of the season saw the Blue and hite pile up nineteen points in the first half, and then coast for the remainder of the game. Vern Christensen hit pay-dirt first on a 12-yard scamper, followed by Ward Stevenson’s sparkling 62 yard effort. “Rev” Cox was next for 54 yards, and a pass, from Christ- ensen to Lyle Cameron, completed the scor- ing for the evening. The whole Hudson line, and especially McMahon, Cameron, and Gregerson, was successful in stopping the Green Wave in its tracks. Reserves Ferguson, Nelson, and Wal- lace were impressive as each was given a long tryout. November 1 HUDSON 12—ELLSWORTH 6 The Raiders brought their 1946 grid season to a close on November 1. by defeat- ing a rugged Ellsworth eleven. 12 to 6. Hudson’s attack functioned only in S]X)ts, in keeping with the seasonal record, as the Raiders did not cash in on two scor- ing drives which were within the 10 yard line. Nine seniors, all regulars, wound up their playing careers at Hudson: Co-cap- tains John Gilbertson and Howard Cox, Lvle Cameron, Gerald Schlief, Ward Stev- enson, Wallace Gregerson, Gerard Mc- Mahon. Stephen Bush, and Howard Brown. Though plagued by injuries all sea- son. a deciding factor in both of the losses they sustained, the Raiders were always wil'ing, and gave all they had in every game. The season’s record was four victories, two defeats, and one tie. ON THE GRIDIRON Top Row—“Sjxjok,” “K. E.

Hudson’s all lettermen lineup consisted of “Rev” Cox and Vern Christensen at forwards, “Sonny Nickleby at center, Capt. Jack Gil- bertson and Howard Brown at guards. Nickleby and Christensen sparked the of- fense which saw the Raiders lead throughout the game. Nickleby with 10, and Christensen with 8 led the scores while Gilbertson and Cox shared rebounding chores. Reserves “Rollie’ Stevenson and “Gus Nelson played well when in the game. December 6 HUDSON 26—MENOMONIE 41 Menomonie’s tall Indians checked in with a 41-26 score over a scrapping Raider five on the home court. The leading contenders for the Middle Bor- der title found themselves with a rugged battle on their hands as the smaller Raiders hung close behind them throughout the game. The Maroons could maintain only a 19-16 half- time score, and led by only 26-20 at the end of the third period. The fourth quarter saw the roof fall in on the Hudson boys. Regulars Jack Gilbertson and Vern Christensen were lost via the “fiver” foul route, and with them went the hopes of the White and Blue. The Indians proceeded to pull away and closed the session with a 41-26 advantage. Howard Brown teamed with Jack Gilbert- son to play an excellent floor game, and also hit the hoops for nine points. Nickleby made six. December 13 HUDSON 27—SPRING VALLEY 33 The Blue Raiders absorbed their second conference defeat in as many starts by bow- ing to Spring Valley on the local courts. Hudson led throughout the greater part of the game, holding small margins at the end of the first and third quarters, and being one point behind at the half. After gaining a 22-20 third-quarter lead, the Fladagerites blew sky-high to allow the Valley to overtake them and sewr up the vic- tory, as Hudson lost the services of Gilbertson and Cox on fouls. Raider scoring was evenly distributed as Gilbertson looped 6, Brown and Christensen 5 each, Nickleby and Cox 4 each, and Stevenson added 3. December 17 HUDSON 47 BALDWIN 33 Hudson trounced Baldwin by 47-33, for the second time in two meetings, in what was easily the most impressive Raider triumph to date. The game was played on the Raider hardwood on December 17. The fast-breaking Hudson offense was clicking, and the team showed better ball- handling and floor-play than in any previous game. Baldwin, monopolized the initial period scoring, but after that it was all Hudson as “Rev Cox drilled in 18 points, with Curt Nickleby close behind with 12, and Jack Gil- bertson adding 10 to pace their mates to an easy win. December 20 HUDSON 24—RIVER FALLS 34 Hudson high’s bucket brigade wound up its pre-vacation schedule by losing to the high- geared River Falls quint on the College City’s hardwood. The Raiders, though never ahead, were aways close and made the favored Wildcats hustle to record the win. Spearheaded by the towering Kuss, River Falls swept to 16-8 half- time lead, and though Hudson gained in the final stanza, the rally fell short, and at the final count the Raiders were down 34-24. Jack Gilbertson headed the scoring parade with 9 points, with Howard Cox following with 8. Both played good floor games, with Gil- bertson doing an excellent job on rebounds against the taller Falls’ five. January 10 HUDSON 27—NEW RICHMOND 24 Hudson notched its first conference vic- tory in four starts on trimming New Rich- mond, 27-24, at the Tigers’ lair. The Irish started briskly to establish a first period lead, the last that they were able to hold, before the Raiders came back strong to eke out a slim 12-11 half-time margin. The second half resembled a Pier 6 brawl, as the playful Tigers got their tails twisted. The White and Blue led 17-16 at the end of the third quarter. The final stanza saw Hudson clinch the game, even though New Richmond was close and always battling. Howard Brown and Howard Cox lead the scores with 9. and 7 points, respectively, and Kelly of New Richmond paced his mates with 10. Lyle Cameron, new addition to the Raider squad, caw action for the first time and de- mons.! rated a considerable amount of talent. January 17 SPRING VALLEY 34—HUDSON 26 On January 17, the Raiders journeyed to Spring Valley for their return engagement and wound up on the short end of a 34-26 score. Hudson led through the first two periods, and maintained a 11-10 margin at the half. Then, in the third stanza, the roof fell in as the Valley meshed 10, while the Raiders failed to get any. Though Hudson again outscored their rivals in the last quarter, the margin was too great, and at the final gun, the Raid- ers still trailed 34-26. Lyle Cameron, start- ing his first game, notched eight points for scoring honors, followed by Howard Brown with seven. January 24 RIVER FALLS 53—HUDSON 39 The Blue Raiders returned to their home Poor on January 24, for their first post-vaca- tion contest onlv to meet defeat, as a sharp shooting River Falls quintet won their second game in as many meetings. Throughout the first half the Raiders strongly pressed their bid for victory, leading the Falls by small mar- gins on two occasions. The half ended with the Wildcats holding only a three point advan- tage. 20-17. However, the accurate sniping of the lanky center, Kuss, and teammates, quickly lengthened the gap. and there went the ball game. Vern Christensen racked up thirteen points to lead his mates, while Lyle Cameron and “Rev” Cox did well on rebounds and floor-play.

The game was nip and tuck all the way with Hud- son trailing throughout, until the third quar- ter, as a result of a sputtering offense, and a shoddy defense. The half found Colfax holding a 22-17 lead, and the end of the third period saw the score tied at 27-all. Then, during the fourth quarter, the Blue and White forged ahead on the strength of Howard Brown’s long-distance sniping. Ahead by three at the four-minute mark, the Toll City Boys saw their margin narrowed to one before the contest ended. “Rev” Cox, Brown, and Curt Nickleby pac- ed the Raiders with 13, 9. and 9, and also took over rebounding efforts along with Lyle Cam- eron. February 4 ELLSWORTH 50—HUDSON 44 The Blue Raiders dropped a hard-fought verdict to a sharp-shooting Ellsworth quint, by the score of 50-44, on the home court on Feb- ruary 4. Hudson’s shoddy first-half defense, allowed the Purple to establish the game winning mar- gin, although the Blue and White rallied in the latter stages, and were close enough throughout to make the contest interesting. Lyle Cameron, Curt Nickleby, and Howard Cox controlled most of the rebounds under both boards, Cox with 15, and Cameron, and Nickle- by, with 8 each paced the Raider point-getters. Their efforts were nullified, however, as the hot-shooting Ellsworth trio of Tobias, Saxton, and Swanson dropped 12, 18, and 12 respec- tively. February 7 NEW RICHMOND 45—HUDSON 39 Once again defensive lapses cost Hudson’s Raiders a ball game, as they literally “kicked” one to Newr Richmond, on the local court, on Friday, February 7. The score was 45 to 39. Hudson was out in front by three points, 39-36, at the four minute mark. Victory seem- ed almost within reach when suddenly, the careless defense which has marked the Raiders’ play all season, asserted itself, and instead of holding a three point lead, the White and Blue found themselves two points in arrears. Nor was that all, for the Irish added two more buckets to sew up the verdict. Kelly of New Richmond paced his mates with 13. Curt Nickleby, Lyle Cameron, and Howard Cox, once again paced the Raiders with 10 each. February 11 HUDSON 28—MENOMONIE 46 In what was easily their most poorly play- ed game of the season, the Blue Raiders suc- cumed to the league-leading Menomonie In- dians, by a score of 46-28 at Menomonie, on February 11. The Tribe established an early first quar- ter lead and maintained it throughout the game as Hudson seemed without an offensive threat. Menomonie’s aces. Pollock and Sipple showed the way with 14 and 10 points respec- tively. For Hudson, Curt Nickleby and Gus Nelson were best with 13 and 7. February 14 HUDSON 44—COLFAX 38 The Blue Raiders closed the year’s home schedule with a 44-38 triumph over a hard- fighting Colfax five, on February 14. The Raiders were never behind, and in the first half displayed as good a brand of ball as had been seen this year to rack up a 31-12 intermission lead. Lyle Cameron set a blistering first half pace as he tallied 14 points, with “Sonny” Nickleby, and “Rev” Cox assist- ing. A t The second half saw Hudson reserves take over, and they too, held off the Norgs, until the closing minutes, when the regulars return- ed. Ward Stevenson and Warren Otterson showed to advantage, while they were in the game. Captain Jack Gilbertson also returned to the line up after being out because of an injury since December 23. Cox and Cameron led the scorers with 18 and 14 points respectively. February 20 ELLSWORTH 55—HUDSON 31 Hudson closed its regular season by bow- ing to Ellsworth 55-31, at the Hub City. The Raiders were never close, as the fast, well-balanced Purple got hot and stayed that way. Hudson presented a different line-up, as reserves played most of the game, while the regulars rested for the important play-off game to oe played on Saturday. Curt Nickleby and Lyle Cameron figured in the scoring, with 10 and 8 points, and War- ren Otterson and Ward Stevenson played good ball-games in relief. February 22 TOURNAMENT PLAY-OFF Spring Valley 40—Hudson 28 Hudson muffed its chance for a tourna- ment berth by blowing one to Spring Valley by 40-28, on the college hardwood at River Falls, on Saturday, February 22. The game was close throughout until the closing minutes, and the Raiders were always within a few points of tying their ri- vals. After being down 14-16 at the half, the White and Blue came back, to hold a third quarter lead briefly, until defensive lapses permitted the Valley to pull away, though Hudson battled until the end. Howard Cox and Curt Nickleby scored 25 points between them, with Cox getting 17, and Nickleby 8. Six seniors wound up their basketball careers for Hudson, incuding: Captain Jack Gilbertson, Howard Brown, How ard Cox, Lyle Cameron, Ward Stevenson, and Warren Otter- son. 58 LYLE CAMERON, Center—Although he didn’t report for basketball until mid-season, he quickly established himself as a top-notch ) all player.

JACK NELSON, Forward—Was on the squad only one semester . . . wi'l hustle for a regular position on the ’47-48 Raiders ... a junior. c he i g47 Boxing Season Twenty-six aspirants to beak-busting glory an- swered Coach Wilfred Heiting’s opening call for box- ers on February 14. With Captain Steve Bush plus four returning letter-men leading the way, the Raider pugilists showed unexpected power and upset the pre- season predictions by winning two bouts while losing two and tying one. The big disadvantage throughout the year was Hudson’s lack of manpower in three divisions, thus causing the White and Blue to forfeit that many bouts in every fight. LOCAL MATCH—MARCH 4 The local intra-squad bout was staged on March 4. All matches on the card proved interesting, and the material in several divisions looked promising.

Margaret Dabruzzi Advisers—Miss Helen Hughes and Miss Jean Kolerus As the first few weeks of the school year flew by, the new members-to-be of the Senior G. A. C. eagerly awaited initiation night. At 5:30 on Monday evening, November 25, a group of very strange looking characters approached Hudson High School. These char- acters were garbed in very queer costumes. Oh, but of course, these were the initiates, and they were dressed according to the month of the year in which they were born. For example, if they were born in January or February, they came dressed as bathing beau- ties; March or April, ballet dancers; July or August, Superman. Batman, Kilroy or Voigil; September or October, Sleepy Heads and so on for the rest of the months. If the cos- tumes didn’t meet with the approval of the judges, suitable penalties were imposed. First the initiates were given supper. Then after they had the dishes done and the kitchen cleaned up, they went through the hall of horrors. Many shrieks and screams were to be heard as they progressed through the hall of horrors. The next thing on the program was the penalties, after which the initiates went on a scavenger hunt. This concluded their entertainment for the evening. But, there is always the inevit- able day following. On Tuesday the initiates came dressed in sweaters and skirts and car- ried their books in a pillow case. Their hair had to be freshly washed. Of course they fol- lowed the old tradition of kneeling before old members and repeating, “You are my super- ior; I am your inferior.” So started the school year for the G. A. C. As the days went by and the football games were played, willing members were to be seen braving the cold to sell coffee and doughnuts to the crowds at the games. About the middle of February came the long awaited event for many of the members, the G. A. C. party. There was one drawback to this, the girls had to ask the boys. But this didn’t frighten many of the members, because the attendance at the party was very good, with approximately thirty couples at- tending. The music was furnished by Connie and Jenny, and all seemed to have a good time. Besides the above activities there are al- ways the sports activities of the G. A. C. For ways the sports activites of the G. A. C. In order to be a member of the G. A. C. a girl must have 100 points a year. After earning 350 points each member is awarded a G. A. C. emblem; 750 points, a medal, and 2,000 points a letter “H”. G. A. C. members who are outstanding in specific sports are put at the head of that sport, and they are responsible for publishing the practice notices, picking the teams, and in short, taking charge of that sport. The heads of sports for this year were kickball, Bonnie Sweitzer; scrimmage ball, Margaret Wilcox; basketball, Helen Harrison; volleyball, Bar- bara Zezza; and softball, Lois Ann Wilcox. KICKBALL SUMMARY Kickball started out the season of girls' sports this year. The good weather lasted long enough so that all of the class games could be played. 3ecause so many freshmen were out for this sport, there were two fresh- men teams. Competition between all of the classes was very keen, but especially so be- tween the juniors and seniors. The seniors, although fewer in number, came out champ- ions with Barbara Zezza as captain. The other team members were Leona Dahlke, Shirley Ryan, La Vetta Bridges, Maxine Lindstrom, June Porter. Helen Harrison. Helenmary Mick- elson, and Louise Borg. SCRIMMAGE BALL SUMMARY The scrimmage ball season opened this year with seventy-two girls reporting for practice. The practices were held on Tuesday and Fri- day nights. Both the juniors and the seniors won all of their games. In the championship game, juniors vs. seniors, the score ended in a tie and so the juniors and seniors were co- champions. The captains of the winning teams were Helen Harrison, senior, and Lois Ann Wilcox, junior. Margaret Wilcox was the student at the head of this sport. VOLLEYBALL AND SOFTBALL SUMMARY These two sports are always the last two sports to be played. Because of a delay in finishing the basketball games, these two sports will not be finished in time to be put in the annual. 64 FROM THE SNAPSHOT EDITOR'S DESK DRAW ER 1. Blow Gabriel, blow. 2.

TRUE BLUE ANNUAL STAFF Standing—Thomas Lomnes, Stephen Bush. John Cam- eron, Lois Simpson, Mary Ruomme'e, Shirley Ryan, Kathryn Stark, Mrs. Gilbertson. Sitting—Doris Bogut, Barbara Egbert, Dorothy Olson, Joan Lein. Eleanor Thompson, Dorothy Nel on, Ar- lene Preble, Howan. Cox, Margaret uabruz i. TRUE BLUE TIMES Will you finish the lining on page two, Steve, so that Tom can run it off? Arlene, we’ll have to have a cartoon on page five as soon as Lois finishes typing the last column. Mrs. Gilbertson, do you think we should start page six? Howard’s sports stories will fill almost two pages. These questions are typical of those asked during the 11 o’clock period in the journalism class. The main obligations of this class are pub- lishing a school newspaper every other Wednes- day and writing school news for the Star-Cbserver. Each story is checked by Mrs. Gilbertson before being published. The new multigraph machine which was pur- chased in November to replace the mimeograph machine, which enables the class to produce a neater and better looking paper, is operated by Thomas Lomnes with John Cameron assisting during the first semester. At the beginning of the year, eleven students decided to become news men and women. Each one, besides being a reporter, assumed other duties. The task of dummy typing stories and typing duplimats was done by Margaret Dabruz- zi, Lois Simpson, Dorothy Olson, and Kathryn Stark. Sports editor, Howard Cox, wrote foot- ball, basketball, and boxing stories with assistance from John Cameron who wrote the junior high games during the first semester. Margaret Da- bruzzi took care of the girls’ sports stories. The task of running off the duplimats on the multi- graph machine was assumed by Tom Lomnes and John Cameron. Tom continued to run it during the second semester when John was graduated. Nancy Booton took care of the “Snoopin’ Around” column during the first semester, followed by Dorothy Olson in the second half of the year. 2. TRUE BLUE ••TIMES’ STAFF. Standing—Stephen Bush.

The duties of editor were taken over at least once by each member of the class so as to give each one an opportunity to learn how to arrange the material in a newspaper. Mrs. Gilbertson was the faculty adviser. TRUE BLUE ANNUAL Time runs swiftly, so they say. Anyway, the time came too swiftly to please the ’47 True Blue staff and the adviser, Mrs. Gilbertson. Doris Bogut, this year’s editor, along with her assistant. Barbara Egbert and Nancy Booton, cut, pasted, and mounted panels of pictures. At their beck and call they had the class editors: Mary Ruemmele and Shirley Ryan, senior editors; Eleanor Thompson, sophomore editor; and fresh- man editor, Joan Lein. Barbara Egbert, besides being assistant editor, was junior eiditor. The “hold that pose” girls, Nancy Booton. Lois Simpson, and Kathryn Stark, put their noses to the lens (camera, that is), and snapped their photogenic colleagues. Howard Rev” Cox noted the touchdowns, baskets, and T.K O’s for the year, while Margaret Dabruzzi held the line in girls’ sports. “Want an annual?” Steve Bush, our business manager, and his assistant, Tom Lomnes, took subscriptions from the student body as well as planned the publicity. “O-oh! I’m going ‘notes’!” Dorothy Olson, who wrote the musical activities, counts notes now rather than sheep when she can’t sleep. Kathryn Stark wrote the forensic material for the annual, and Dorothy Nelson wrote the publication articles. Nancy Booton and Arlene Preble put their heads together, and ground out the feature stories. 67 ATTRACTIONS OF Till-: HOUR 1. If Lauren Bacall can do this—so can I! 2.
