School (Calendar . . . SEPTEMBER 7— With the beginning of a new school year came the observation that the freshmen get smaller every year. OCTOBER 1— Homecoming! The alumni were welcomed back to Hudson High for the dance after the game with River Falls. The theme, “Freeze the Falls”, was effectively carried out with the decorations in the gym and the store windows down town. Mrs. Frokjer’s advisory group won first prize for the best window decorations. OCTOBER 5— The seniors officially welcomed the freshmen at the senior-freshmen party today. OCTOBER 11— The poor unfortunate G. A. C. initiates went through the last steps of agony involved in becoming a full fledged member of the Senior G. A. C. One of the ordeals consisted of kneeling at the command of each member and humbly saying, “You are my superior. I am your inferior”. OCTOBER 25- Tonight it was the Junior G. A. C.’s turn to initiate new members. No doubt they were under the impression that “It’s a cruel, cruel world”. OCTOBER 30— The Hallowe’en party was held tonight. Not too many ghosts and goblins this year because the dance was semi-formal. NOVEMBER 10— A reception was held today for the doctors and dentists who had examined the boys out for sports. DECEMBER 15— The one-act play, “Elmer and the Lovebug , with Pat Clyngenpeel, Jane Cornelissen, and Tommy Haugen in the leading roles was presented today. Everyone agreed that it was one of the most hilarious comedies he had ever seen. DECEMBER 16— The annual Christmas pageant was presented tonight for the public by the various music groups of the grade and high school. The tableaux were beautiful. DECEMBER 17— Christmas vacation began today, amid many joyous wishes for a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. DECEMBER 18— The Christmas party was held tonight. JANUARY 3— Back to school again with many New Year’s resolutions waiting to be fulfilled. faculty and Masses SuflCniKtCKtlCKt 0 hknest McMillan Intrumental Music ANN MURPHY Geography Departmental ETHEL MATHEWS Social Science Business Practice R( )BERT T )RGERSON Algebra Biology JENNY LEE Librarian Departmental MRS.

This year is the first time since the first award was made in 1928 that duplicate awards have been made. Vernon’s special contributions to Hudson High have been in the fields of athletics and music. His classmates have recognized bis leadership when they elected him president of the senior class and captain of both the basketball and football teams. Although he has been well represented in extra-curricular ac- tivities, he has maintained a high standard of scholarship. Daniel’s special achievements have l een in the fields of speech, music, and athletics. He has maintained an excellent standard of scholarship as well as distinguish himself in extra-curricular activities and has proved himself a capable leader as president of the Hi-Y organization this year. Both boys possess the ability to live well with other people, are determined to live wholesome lives, and are broadminded enough to appreciate that all work no matter how humble is as important for the welfare of the community as the position of higher rank. The faculty is pleased to present the awards to these deserving students. Senior Qlciss history Now is the time for us to look back upon the history making class of 1949. It covers a l eriod of four years of hard but enjoyable work and play. It all began way back in 1945, as we en- tered the halls of Hudson High School eyeing the upperclassmen with awe and envy. As fresh- men we elected Patricia Hoel. president: Rich- ard Kinney, vice president; David Cleveland, secretary; Arvin Lovaas, treasurer; Shirley Bene- dict, council representative: and Miss F.ldrid Madison, adviser. Another year crept upon us; and as sopho- mores the greenness disappeared and we began to jKirticipate in many outside activities. This year our governing body consisted of William Wallace, president; Margaret Clothier, vice presi- dent; Eleanor Thompson, secretary; Vernon Christensen, treasurer; George Harwell, council representative: and Miss Ixe, adviser. During the year of 1947-48 s]x rts beckoned many of our bovs, producing several lettermen in football. Vernon Christensen and David Cleve- land proved their great ability by making the first five on the basketball team. We were also well represented in the boxing ring. Not only the boys were interested in sj)orts, but the girls took an active jwrt in G. A. C„ Band, Glee Club, Mixed Chorus, small musical groups, Tachop- cras, speech and debate interested many members in the junior year. Lorraine Scuillo attended the State Speech Contest. The highlight of our junior year was our prom. Colorful umbrellas set the scene to the theme of “April Showers . Under the supervis- ion of Mrs. Frances Dehne, our adviser, and our class officers, David Cleveland, president: Elton Dah'ke. vice president: Constance Hammill. secretary: Phyllis Danielson, treasurer; William Wallace, council representative, our prom was a wonderful success. We resumed our duties in the fall of 1948 as dignified seniors with Vernon Christensen, president: Pat Hoel, vice president; Wendell Adams, secretary; Clyde Christensen, treasurer: David Cleveland, council representative; and Mrs. Dehne, adviser. The first social event of the year was a get-acquainted party with the class of 1952. Many of our class showed exceptional ability in the fields of music, sports, and speech. Vernon Christensen was captain of the football and bas- ketba 1 teams, and illiam Wallace was captain of the boxing squad. Eleven senior boys were members of the 1949 Championship football team. ! he senior class play, “Spring Fever”, under the direction of Mrs. Frances Rolle, was a huge success. We wound up our high school careers the last week in May with a very inspiring Bac- calaureate and Commencement.

Just think ten years ago we were all seniors back in Hudson High School hav- ing the time of our lives. I have recently made a tour of the country, and you would really be sur- prised and glad to see what our class of ’49 is now doing. I traveled East first, and made New York City my first stop. I picked up a daily paper, and whose name should I see. but Shirley Benedict’s, listed as reporter for the New York Sun. As I walked down Broadway, I noticed the billboards which were advertising the new Broadway smash hit, “Still Water Runs Deep”, with David Cleve- land in the lead. That afternoon I looked up an old friend of mine who I knew was living in the city, Marlene Redman, who is now the model American house- wife. She was having Patricia Hoel, now a New York fashion designer, over for tea that same aft- ernoon and asked me to stay also. We talked of many of our old friends, and they told me about what many of them were now doing. I was surprised to hear that George Harwell was now in vaudeville, and at present was having trouble digging up a new act for the show, and that LeRoy Colbeth had taken over the Arthur Murray dance studio. Kenneth DeWitte has settled in the wilds of Africa, hunting elephants and lions. Another mem- ber who has left this country, is Wanda Detlefsen, a Christian Missionary in India’s interior. I also found out that five of the members of our class are in Washington, D. C. at government jobs. Walking the halls of the Congressional build- ings are Lorraine Scuillo, Democratic senator from Wisconsin with her right-hand secretary, Ann Brun- ner. Eleanor Thompson has become a financial adviser in the Treasury Department. Nora Salmon is National director of 4H activities, under Elton Dahlke who is National Farm Director. According to all reports, the senior survey back in 1949 had a decided effect on Richard John- son who is now' a very prospering young salesman for the nationally knowm Hoover Vacuum Cleaner Company. After hearing all this news, I began to tell them all about the home new's. They hadn’t heard that Mary Louise Vaughn has recently written a novel on the oddities of the human mind, and were glad to hear that several of her novels have al- ready been published. Vernon Christensen is head coach of the Hamline Pipers”. Robert Gifford, professor of chemistry, has been transferred to the Chemistry Department at North- western University. If you were to return to Hudson now, you would find Joyce Worrell and Margaret Clothier as co-owners of the Hudson Dairy Bar. Lois and DeLores Foss have recently decided to begin a book on The Party’s Perfect Hostess”. Connie Lein and Phyllis Danielson are running a matrimonial bureau with their extras! Patricia Van Horn and Joyce Linehan are run- ning a summer resort located on the North Shore Drive of Lake Superior. Richard Kinney is running the Real Gold Fruit Company of Annaheim, California. Mary Ferguson and Ruth Gerlach are giving electrical home appliance demonstrations at Fer- guson’s Electric”. Constance Hammill, after spending several months in the Caribbean on Alva Hanley’s yacht. Is again managing Hammill’s Eat Shop. Mary Jane Petersen’s tooth paste factory has been shut down temporarily for remodeling. William Wallace, St. Croix County Game War- den, has put a new restriction on hunting deer”. We all remember Dan Borg’s clear, deep voice, well, he has taken Cedric Adams' place in broadcast- ing the ten o’clock night-time news. Arvin Lovaas and Myrlon Daniels have recently received world-wide recognition for their atomic research. Ronald Payson found that the only way to accommodate successfully the North Hudson peo- ple who dislike walking was to start a bus line, so we find him in partnership with Dallas McGinley. William Hooley owns the Hooley Meat Market, and Yvonne Martin runs its cash register. Helen Jean Baisch is now head of the Home Economics Department at the University of North Dakota, with Anna Marie Barr as her private sec- retary. Verlyn Benoy and Neil Katner are employed at the Wrightpark” parking lot in Slumber Hollow. Clyde Christensen owns the Stillwater Confec- tionery Company, which specializes in cookies. We find Jack Putman in the wild West, run- ning the Rancho-Del-Maro riding stables. Marjorie Hancock, happily married, just received the royalty on her cookbook entitled Margie’s Kitchen Helper . And as we all know, after five successful years as governor, Wendell Adams is campaigning for the 1960 presidential election on the Democratic ticket. This seems to take in the activities of our up-and-coming class, so I’ll close for now. Sincerely, Patricia Van Horn i?

Vice President................ Secretary ..................... Treasurer..................... Council Representative ....... Adviser....................... Will wonders never cease? Can it be three years ago that a class of seventy-five bewildered and confused freshmen started their climb up the ladder of success in Hudson High School? Why, it seems only yesterday that we elected our freshmen class officers, Harold Rock, presi- dent; Charles Nelson, vice president; Sally Cun- ningham, secretary; Joan Grady, treasurer; Thomas Haugen, council representative; and Miss 1 lughes, adviser. Although extra curricular ac- tivities were new to us, we were well-represented in them; and Band, “B” Glee Club, G. A. C., dramatics and, of course, boys' sjxirts saw the eager freshmen doing their best. When Harold Rock moved to Joilet, Illinois, Charles Nelson became president; and John Breault took over the vice president’s duties. As sophomores we truly earned a place for ourselves on the second rung of our high school ladder by continuing our good work in outside activities as well as in scholastic achievements. Robert Gerlach Gwen Peterson George Madson John Martinson Janice Brathall Miss Hughes The class of seventy-three members chose, as officers, Kenneth Larson, president; George Madson, vice president; Robert Zarske, secretary; Juliann Ryan, treasurer; Rita Ruemmele, council representative; and Miss Hughes, adviser. As sophisticated juniors, we are nearing the top of our success ladder with more outside ac- tivities to participate in than ever before. We were kept busy with Band, Mixed Chorus, (dee Club, G. A. C., dramatics, and forensics. The boys excelled in all the fields of sports, and we had reason to be proud of our two juniors, George Madson and Charles Nelson, who made the first “five on the basketball squad. The juniors, as always, found that money was needed to stage the big event of the year, the prom, so we raised the money by selling pencils on which the high school song was printed. With the money we made and the co-operation of the class we were able to put on a “wonderful prom. SOPHOMORES I ’resident ............. Vice-President .......... Secretary................

The “Raiders” held the “Baldwinites” for little gain, and they were able to stop their passing attack quite easily. Meanwhile, the “Raiders” came through with touchdowns by “Vern” Christensen, “Bud” Zar- ske, and “Kacky” Cleveland. September 24 HUDSON 19—SPRING VALLEY 0 The Hudson “Raiders” opened conference play on the new Spring Valley field, as they handed the Valley a rousing 19 to 0 loss. Christ- ensen passed to Colbeth in the end zone for the first score, and then the “Raiders” shoved the big Valley team all over the field for two more touchdowns by Cleveland and Christensen. Spring Valley was rated as one of the pre season favorites to win the championship, and the victory gave Hudson a good start in the conference race. October 1 HUDSON 12—RIVER FALLS 6 The first half was all Hudson at the home- coming game. The “Raiders” rolled for two touchdowns in the second quarter, and the “Cats” were held at bay throughout the half. The “Raiders” had to dig in the second half to “Freeze the Falls”. Vernon Christensen and “Peachy” Wallace did the scoring for the “Raiders”. River Falls got their only tally on a pass interception. It was the passing of Christ- ensen and Wallace that kept the Falls team back on their heels. October 8 HUDSON 12—NEW RICHMOND 6 It looked as though the “Tigers” would up- set the high flying “Raiders” the first half, as neither team was able to score. Early in the third period a blocked punt gave Hudson the ball deep in enemy territory. Five plays later, “Kacky” Cleveland blasted over from the four yard line for the first score of the game. It was Cleveland again in the fourth quarter, as he ended a 69 yard march when he plunged over from the four. New Richmond scored in the fourth quarter after a 70 yard drive but didn’t have enough steam to come from behind. Jack Breault was a big cog in the “Raider” line, and he played one of the best games on his record. October 15 HUDSON 7—OSCEOLA 6 Wind, rain, and two small Osceola guards combined to limit Hudson to one touchdown and numerous penalties, and the extra jxiint by Cleve- 32 1948 Raiders iand was the margin of victory. The “Raider ’ ground attack hogged down for the rest of game, and their passing attack was grounded, to say the least. A host of Hudson fans made the rainy trip to Osceola to support the team. October 22 HUDSON 26—ELLSWORTH 0 Ellsworth started out by giving Hudson a brief scare in the first quarter, but the “Raiders came hack fighting, as they rolled for four touch- towns and 25 points. “Vern Christensen scored two touchdowns, one in the second period and one in the third period. A quick pass-lateral, Christensen to Colbeth to Cleveland, clicked for the third score, as Cleveland snagged a pass from Christensen for the final tally. October 29 HUDSON 14—MENOMONIE 12 The Hudson “Raiders” outfought a heavier Menomonie eleven, as they came from behind to take a spectacular 14 to 12 victory and win the Middle Border Championship. Menomonie got a touchdown on a 71 yard run by Onstad in the opening minutes and then picked up another score by Onstad in the second period before Hudson scored at all. The “Raid- ers” came hack the same period, and drove Ml yards for a score. “Kacky Cleveland took a 25 yard fourth down i ass from Vern Christensen for the touchdown. In the fourth quarter, “One Eye” Daniels recovered a lateral pass on the Me- nomonie 18 yard line, and two plays later Vernon Christensen carried the hall off tackle for the winning score. Mom’s night activities were conducted with great success at halftime, and after the game, the l arents and players attended a social at the high school. November 5 HUDSON 12—COLFAX 2 The “Raiders” clinched the Middle Border title at Colfax by defeating the “Norgs” 12 to 2. Hudson’s line consistently opened huge holes for the backs. “Dave” Cleveland smashed his way over from the two yard line for tin- first “Raider” score. “Vern” Christensen scored the second touchdown on a buck into the line. Colfax picked up two easy points when Christen- sen tried to run hack a had pass from center which had rolled into the end zone. Despite the handicap of a wet hall, George Madson, cap- tain for the 1949 season, did some of the sea- son's finest punting. 33 Senior Lettermen VERN CHRISTENSEN, captain . . . 5’9” . . . 155 pounds. Age 18 A regular for four years. Halfback. A shifty, hard-hitting runner, Vern also excelled in passing, punting, and blocking. He was the most feared player in the conference.

DAVE CLEVELAND ... 5’11” ... 155 pounds. Age 17 Three year letterman. “Kacky” won let- ters at guard and tackle for two seasons. This season he played bang-up ball in the fullback slot.

Quarterback and half- back. “Peachy” was the brains of the outfit. His signal calling was instrumental in the “Raiders’ ” success. He was a hard runner, and he could really pitch the pigskin. Felled many opponents with his crisp blocks. CLYDE CHRISTENSEN . . . 57” ... 150 pounds. Age 17 A regular for two years. “Red” was a workhorse in the line from his guard position. Was adept at lifting opposing linemen out of their tracks. Combined with Kinney to open the middle. He played backer-up on defense. Prov- ed invaluable because of his pass interceptions. MYRLON DANIELS . . . 57” . . . 150 pounds. Age 17 A regular for two years. A handyman, “Moc” played good ball at guard and end. He led the defense in diagnosing plays of opponents. Always played hard until the final gun. His competitive spirit kept him pitching even when handicapped by injury at midseason. (But, who knows, maybe it was enjoyable in a hospital amidst a bevy of devoted nurses aides.) KEN DE WITTE . . . 5T1” . . . 175 pounds. Age 18 Two year letterman. A big boy. Ken held down his tackle position with bruising effective- ness. Played a rugged defensive game, and tore 'em apart on offense. He had a fine competi- tive spirit, and played best under pressure. NEIL KATNER . . . 5’10 ... 160 pounds. Age 17 Two year letterman. Neil was a guard until his senior year when he switched to tackle. Teamed with the guards to o| eii huge holes in the opposing line.

Age 17 Two year letterman. “Pug” played two years at end. He proved his value in offense with his blocking and pass catching. Worked well on defense as he kept the end runs bottled up. Admired for his competitive spirit. DANIEL BORG . . . 6’2 ... 165 pounds. Age 17 One year letterman. Although inexperienc- ed, “Dan” used his size to advantage in handling the opposition. He took the game seriously and developed his end play with amazing thorough- ness. Admired for his determination and fight- ing spirit. ARVIN LOVAAS . . . 5T0” . . . 130 pounds. Age 17 One year letterman. “Arv” played at end for two years, and then won his letter at a half- back |x� st his senior year. Played good ball, but his inexperience cost him in playing time. Always determined to do a good job. ANDREW KINNEY . . . 5'6” ... 155 pounds. Age 18 A regular for two years. “Hunka” was a hard-working mud-puppy who played it rough and was always in there fighting. One of the two guards who bore the brunt of the “Raider” attack through the line. Immovable on defense, he slowed the best to a standstill with his rugged tackles. 34 LeRoy “Pug” Colbeth Arvin “Arv” Lovaas Clyde “Red Christensen Myrlon “Moc” Daniels David “Kacky” Cleveland Harold “Vern” Christensen William “Peachy” Wallace Andrew “Hunka” Kinney Neil Katner Kenneth “Ken” DeWitte Daniel “Dan” Borg 35 OISPATcr “A” Basketball Squad Second How—Robert Gifford, manager, Stephen Sandberg.

Hudson gained the lead in the second quarter with Cleveland and Christ- ensen leading the attack. 1 he “Raiders were leading easily until the last quarter. A late rally by Ellsworth failed to alter the outcome of the game, as Hudson stayed the surge with a well executed stall. “Vern Christensen and “Chuck” Nelson were high scorers for Hudson with 9 and 12 points. December 10 HUDSON 24—COLFAX 21 The High cagers blew into Colfax and nosed out the Vikings in a low scoring game, 24 to 21. The “Raiders had trouble with Colfax's zone defense, but they were able to solve it by play- ing control hall and waiting for good shots. The “Vikings rallied in the closing minutes, but Hudson went into an effective stall, and held the ball for at least two minutes. “Dan Borg sparked the “Raiders” with his fine rebounding work. He was also high point man for the “Raiders” with 8 ]x ints. December 14 HUDSON 35—GLEN WOOD CITY 47 The Hudson “Raiders” journeyed to Glen- wood City where they were beaten 35 to 47 by a strong Glenwood team. The “Raiders” dropped a 17 to 14 halftime lead, as the Glenwood boys came roaring back to outscore the “Raiders 33 to 18 in the second half. Hudson couldn’t connect on field goals, while Glenwood scored from any spot on the floor. Hudson’s defense loosened and allowed Glenwood a large number of close in shots late in the game. Dan Borg was high point man for the “Raiders” with 10 points. December 17 HUDSON 37—RIVER FALLS 45 Hudson’s cagers opened their home schedule with a valiant effort against jxiwer-laden River Falls, hut the towering “Falls five proved too much for the “Raiders”. After a spirited Hud- son rally, led by Christensen and “Dan” Borg, it seemed that Hudson might be able to forge ahead in the fourth quarter, but the difference in size resulted in a number of fouls being called on the over-anxious “Raiders”. Sparked by Roger Kuss, River Falls bounced back to win by a safe mar- gin. “Vern” Christensen was high point man for Hudson with 11 points. This was his clos- ing effort in conference play for the “Raiders”, due to the YVIAA age limit. January 14 HUDSON 39—NEW RICHMOND 26 The “Raiders” returned to conference plat- after a holiday layoff, as they defeated New Richmond quite decisively in a rough, hard-fought game played on the local floor. Hudson drove to a 19 to 7 halftime lead, as “Chuck” Nelson hit on three quick buckets. “Kacky” Cleveland and “Dan” Borg controlled the rebounds for the “Raiders” throughout the game. Both teams scored consistently th? second half, with the Hud- son team getting the better of it because of their superior ball handling. Nelson was high point man for the “Raiders” with 13 points. January 20 HUDSON 35—GLENWOOD 23 Hudson rolled to an easy victory over Glen- wood City, 35 to 23. in avenging an early season defeat at the hands of the Glenwood squad. Cleveland provided the spark which carried Hud- son to an early lead until he sprained his ankle late in the second period. The “Raiders” con- tinued to rack up the points in the second half with “Dan Borg’s fine defensive play against Jacobson, Glenwood's high scoring center, keep- ing the Glenwood hoys from threatening Hud- son’s lead. “Chuck Nelson was leading scorer for the “Raiders with 10 |x ints followed by “Dan” Borg with 8 ixnnts. 37 he basketball Season January 21 HUDSON 24— SPRING VALLEY 26 Handicapped by the loss, through injury, of the services of “Dave” Cleveland and “Dave” Borg, the Hudson quint bowed to Spring Valley in the final seconds of a nip and tuck battle. The game was played in the new and very roomy Spring Valley gym. This proved an- other handicap to the Hudson five, as they had trouble accustoming themselves to the floor. The “Raiders” overcame a Valley halftime lead of 12 to 8, and led 24 to 22 in the last minute of play remaining. Ronald Jensen led the “Raider” attack with 9 points. January 25 HUDSON 22—MENOMONIE 29 The Menomonie “Indians” outscored the Hudson “Raiders” in the second half of a game played at Menomonie and defeated the Hudson quint 29 to 22. The “Raiders” were able to penetrate Menomonie’s zone defense often enough to hold the “Indians” to a 9 to 9 tie score at halftime. The second half found Williams of Menomonie getting most of the rebounds and doing most of the scoring, as he sparked his mates to the victory. A strong bid by Hudson failed to head the “Indians”. Dave Cleveland and George “Curly” Madson headed the Hudson cause with 6 points apiece. January 28 HUDSON 34—ELLSWORTH 38 The “Raiders” went down in defeat on the home floor, as Saxton and Gilbertson led the Ellsworth “Hubs” to an early lead and a final victory. “Kacky” Cleveland's rebounding and point getting kept Hudson in the game, and the “Raiders” tied the score several times in the half. The score stood 34 to 34 with two minutes of play remaining. Three Hudson men left the game on fouls, and then Ellsworth’s height paid off with two game-winning buckets. Cleveland’s 18 points was high for the Hudson quint. February 1 HUDSON 56—COLFAX 42 The Hudson High School cagers trounced a hapless Colfax quint 56 to 42 in the Hudson gym. The “Raiders” rolled to a 6 point lead, 18 to 12, in the first quarter. “Kacky” Cleve- land, and “Dave” and “Dan” Borg controlled the rebounds, and the “Raiders” went on to lead 29 to 15 at halftime. The second half gave the subs a chance to play, and they were equal to the task of holding the “Vikings down. “Kacky Cleveland’s drive in shot was unstoppable, as he set a record for individual ] int honors on the home floor with 24 points. February 4 HUDSON 34—RIVER FALLS 51 The River Falls cagers proved too much for the “Raiders” to handle after the Hudson boys had held the “Falls” to an 8 to 7 margin at the quarter mark. The “Raiders” played good, fast ball throughout the game, but the “Cats” could put down any threat by making use of their height. Even then, the Hudson boys kept River Falls worried, as they climbed up to take rebounds away from White and Kuss. The “Raiders” succeeded in keeping Kuss bottled up, but White came through with 17 points for River Falls. “Chuck” Nelson and “Kacky” Cleveland led the “Raiders” scoring with 11 and 10 points respectively. February 11 HUDSON 26—NEW RICHMOND 25 The Hudson High basketeers came from behind to take a thrilling game from New Rich- mond, 26 to 25. The “Raiders” controlled the ball the first half as they fashioned a 14 to 7 lead in the first two periods. The game opened up the second half, and New Richmond out-ran the Hudson boys and narrowed the lead to 20 to 17 by the end of the third period. In the last stanza, the “Tigers” went ahead 24 to 25. “Ron” Jensen’s basket, with 20 seconds remain- ing, regained the lead and won the game for Hudson. “Chuck Nelson was high point man for Hudson with 8 points. c(9he basketball 5 on_J February 15 HUDSON 36—SPRING VALLEY 40 Hudson dropped a game to Spring Valley, 36 to 40, after leading for tliree quarters, and looked as if they would be able to win easily. Spring Valley suddenly came to life in the last quarter, as they dropjied in baskets from all over the floor. “Chuck” Nelson and “Ron” Jensen kept the “Raiders” in the game with clutch buc- kets in the closing minutes, but the percentages were against them, and the Valley scored last to win 36 to 40. “Kacky” Cleveland led the “Raiders” in the point department with 9 points, followed by “Ron Jensen and “Dan Borg with 8 apiece. February 18 HUDSON 42—MENOMONIE 38 Hudson staged a fourth quarter rally to nose out a favored Menomonie team 42 to 38. Menomonie led by one point for three quarters, and the “Raiders” weren’t able to break their lead. “Kacky” Cleveland and “Chuck Nelson were keeping the Hudson team within range, how- ever, with their sharpshooting. In the fourth quarter. “Chuck” cut loose with an eight point barrage that gave Hudson the lead. “Dan” Borg’s fine play under the boards against Wil- liams, Menomonie’s big center, gave Hudson a chance to control the ball for the better part of the last period. “Chuck Nelson was high point man for the “Raiders” with 20 points. February 21 HUDSON 43—SPRING VALLEY 46 Hudson lost its chance to enter the district tournament when it lost an elimination game to Spring Valley. “Kacky” Cleveland and “Chuck Nelson led the “Raiders” to a 33 to 22 halftime lead with a brilliant display of sharpshooting. “Kacky” used his drive in layup shots to score 14 points in the first two periods, and “Chuck” hit on six straight buckets before he missed one. In the second half Spring Valley clamped a pressing man to man defense on the “Raiders” and succeeded in slowing the Hudson offense to a walk. I he Valley team then proceeded to out- score Hudson and finally take over the lead with three minutes of play remaining. “Kacky” Cleveland and “Chuck” Nelson led Hudson's scoring with 19 and 14 points re- spectively. January 7 HUDSON 38—ALUMNI 33 A team of Hudson alumni dropjied around to give the present high school team a lesson in basketball, but the high school boys were not apt pupils and they proceeded to down the alum- ni by the score of 38 to 33. The alumni started fast, and they led at halftime by a score of 14 to 13. In the third quarter “age” began to tell, and the high school team jumped into the lead. The “old men” couldn’t keep pace with the “Raiders , as the fast moving high boys had things pretty much as they pleased the last half. “Chuck Nelson with 12 points, “Vern” Christensen with 9 points, and “Kacky” Cleve- land with 9 points led the high school team to victory. “B” TEAM BASKETBALL The “B” team, coached by Emil Anderson, traveled the Middle Border circuit and played games preceding those of the varsity. The boys’ enthusiasm for playing basketball was evident in every game, and in many ways made up for their lack of experience and polish. When the Hudson crowd at out of town games was small, the “B” team competently main- tained the “Raider” cheering section. Practices were spent teaching the squad how to gain more enjoyment from basketball, and training the more promising players for possible positions on the varsity. In intramural play on January 10, the first five of the “B” team was defeated, 14 to 4, by the second five of the “A” squad while the second - five of the “B” team won from the junior high. 20 to 18. Scores of the “B” team games were: Hudson 15—Ellsworth 23 Hudson 15—Glenwood City 8 Hudson 17—River Falls 30 Hudson 16—New Richmond 27 Hudson 35—Glenwood City 14 Hudson 10—Spring Valley 25 Hudson 10—Menomonie 22 Hudson 15—Ellsworth 16 Hudson 15—River Falls 20 Hudson 17—New Richmond 20 Hudson 28—Spring Valley 24 Hudson 7—Menomonie 32 39 1949 Boxing S oru The Hudson High mitt squad won five straight matches to cop the Middle Border boxing crown for 1949. This was Hudson’s first boxing champion- ship since the sport was introduced here in 1939. The 30 boys out for boxing first took over the gym for a short workout on February 22. Sixteen of these boys had previous ring experience. The squad’s balance, interest, and aggressive- ness which eventually won the championship were cited early in the season by Coach W. G. Heiting as he claimed to have one of the best teams in years. On March 11 the members of the squad were given an opportunity to strut their stuff for the fans before the start of the regular season. Though many of the boys didn’t open up as they would in an interscholastic match, the bouts were by no means dull. Matchings for these bouts were: L. Johannsen vs R. Clyngenpeel; D. Neises vs R. Leverty; K. Han- son vs F. Harwell; C. Wright vs G. Paul; R. Adams vs A. St. Ores; R. Worrell vs W. Segerstrom; G. Kapaun vs R. Klund; R. Zarske vs G. Wright; D. Larson vs J. Marson; K. Larson vs S. Sandberg; S. Houman vs L. Windahl; R. Thorson vs R. Johann- sen; C. Kinney vs E. Polen; R. Kinney vs V. Benoy; D. Cleveland vs L. Colbeth; J. Breault vs J. Putman. The championship squad had among its members six boys representing Hudson in the ring for their last year. They were Captain William Wallace, featherweight; Richard Kinney, senior welter; Wal- ter Johannsen, senior welter; LeRoy Colbeth, mid- dleweight; Jack Breault, light heavyweight; and Jack Putman, heavyweight. March 18 HUDSON 7%—BALDWIN 3 Ms The Hudson High boxing team successfully open- ed its season with a 7% to 3l6 win over Baldwin. The Hudson boys won all but one of the action packed fights. During this first bout the squad lost the services of its captain when Bill Wallace fractured a thumb in an exhibition fight with W. Olson of Baldwin.

Hudson’s win was termed an upset, as New Richmond had not been defeated in 19 matches. The aggressiveness and good condition of the Hudson boys paid off as the Raiders” pulled away from New Richmond in the heavier classes after fighting a close battle in the lighter weights.

The first night of the tournament the juniors met a hard fighting and stubborn freshmen five who put on a good fight. They kept the juniors on the move most of the game. At the end of the first quarter the juniors led by only one point 8 to 7. At the half the freshmen led 11 to 9. The third quarter was also exciting with the juniors coming out with a 20 to 18 lead. The fourth was a heart breaker for the hard fighting freshmen five who came out on the tail end of a 35 to 38 score. The second game was a battle between the seniors and the sophomores. This game was not as interesting as the one before, due to many fouls that were called. There were six technical fouls that were called and five of these were called on the seniors. The seniors took an early lead and led at the half, 22 to 16. They then took it easy the rest game and came out on top 35 to 29. JUNIORS fg ft Pf tp C. Nelson __2 2 0 6 Zarske _ 1 1 3 3 D.

The first game was between the freshmen and the sophomores. This game was cut short, because other activities were being carried on in the school, and they had to be finished early so the champion- ship game could be played. The final game was very interesting with that hard fighting freshmen team coming out on top with a score of 24 to 23. The game between the juniors and the seniors for the championship proved to be the most exciting of the tourney. There was never more than four points difference in the score, and both teams were kept on the go most of the time. The seniors out- played the juniors most of the game, and led at the end of the third quarter by the score of 19 to 16. With 10 seconds left to play, D. Nelson and Sandberg worked over one of the seniors and picked up an easy bucket. This put them ahead with the score at 24 to 25, and they were able to stall the remaining time.

During the year, the members of this organization participate in kick-ball, basketball, volleyball, and softball. It is divided into a Junior G. A. C. and a Senior G. A. C. The Senior G. A. C. is for sophomore, junior, and senior girls. In order to remain a member of the G. A. C, a girl must make 100 points a year. There are various ways these points may be made. Being on a team or being a substitute gives her a certain number of points. Other ways in which she can earn points are hiking, skiing, skating, swimming, and horseback riding. When 350 ] oints have been made, she receives a G. A. C. emblem: 750 points, a medal; and 2,000 points, a letter “H”. The dues for each member are thirty-three cents a year. Another project the G. A. C. un- dertakes to make money is the selling of refresh- ments, usually coffee and doughnuts, at the football games. The night of the initiation and the next day, the new members, who are joining, are at the mercy of the older members. This year’s initia- tion was a little different from former ones. It took place in the kitchen on Liberty Hill. The initiates were dressed according to rules given them before the initiation. The whole kitchen was cleaned up after the lunch bv the initiates. That night and the following day, the new members had to obey the commands of the older members. One of the outstanding com- mands is the kneeling of the initiate in front of an older member and saying, “You are my super- ior ; I am your inferior.” The special event of the G. A. C. is the G. A. C. Dance, when the girls do the dating. They ask a boy to the dance, get him, take him home, and take care of all the financial details. Everyone has a great deal of fun at the annual G. A. C. Dance. Kickball The first activity of the year is kickball. which is played while the weather is still warm. Approximately fifty-five girls turned out for kickball this year. The head of this sport was Eleanor Richie. This year’s winning team in the tournament was the sophomore team. The play- ers were Sally Dickenson, Helen Johnson, May- el va Daniels, Audrey Petersen, Janet Solsvig, and Rosemary Porter. The subs were Annette Staberg, Dorothy Richie, Lorraine Frazier, Elea- nor Nelson, and Gwen Lein. Basketball After the kickball season is over, basketball is started. The head of basketball was Lois Foss. About fifty girls came out for this sport. The champion team at basketball was the senior team, consisting of Alva Hanley, Lois Foss, Eleanor Thompson, De Lores Foss, and Joyce Worrell. The subs were Ann Brunner, Shirley Benedict, Margaret Clothier, Marjorie Hancock, and Con- stance Hammill. Volleyball Sixty girls turned out for practice during the volleyball season. Heading this sport was De I .ores Foss. The winning team of the volley- ball tournament this year was the senior team. Members of this team were Alva Hanley, Joyce Worrell, I -■ois Foss, Ann Brunner, Mary Jane Petersen, and Eleanor Thompson. The subs were Shirley Benedict and Marjorie Hancock. Kittenball The head of kittenball this year is Sally Cunningham. This sport is the last activity in the year and had not begun at the writing of this story. JUNIOR G. A. C.

It is always in demand for programs, and it also furnishes a lot of fun and enjoyment for its many members. It has become quite famous throughout the county and also in Minnesota. Mr. McMillan should be given a lot of credit and praise for his work with the band. The band attended the Ellsworth fair as the first activity of the year. During the year it played at the football games, marched at the important Menomonie game, played at several basketball games, and presented the following spring concert on March 4: BAND CONCERT Friday, March 4, 1949 8:00 P.

A club steak dinner was served by the home economics department. When everyone had dined, the Master of Ceremonies, Supt. E. P. Rock, welcomed the guests and introduced the principal speaker, the Rev. G. Daniel Wood. Rev. Wood gave a very interesting speech in which he emphasized the fact that although the team had shown their grit in winning the championship, they should regard the champion- ship as the first of many conquests they should make in life. Following the main sjreech. Mayor Newton gave a short congratulatory speech on the team's successful season on behalf of the community. Coach Robert Torgerson, the next speaker, dwelt on the subject of coaching, and then awarded letters to the following: Captain Vern Christensen, David Cleveland, Clyde Christensen, William Wallace, Myrlon Daniels. Kenneth De Witte, Neil Katner, LeRoy Colbeth, Andrew Kinney, Dan Borg, Arvin Lovaas, John Breault, Robert Zarske, Robert Gerlach, Ronald Jensen, Ralland Trudeau, Don Lindstrom, Lowell Win- dahl, Charles Nelson, and Kenneth Larson.

Mr. Rock also gave Capt. “Vern Christensen one of his famous “Oscars”. The First National Bank presented neck ties to all members of the football team and the coaching staff. Entertainment was provided by the boys' quartet and a brass duet by the Borg brothers. Mr. McMillan led the guests in a song fest. The “Raiders” had not lacked for recogni- tion or food all season. Following the New Rich- mond game, the team members were the guests of Henry Selbrede and Lloyd Breault at the Hudson Harbor where they were served steaks and French fries. On the Monday after the Colfax game a pep fest was held in the school, and then the students formed a parade which proceeded through the streets of Hudson.

On December 8 the team journeyed to Eau Claire where they attended the “Banquet of Champions” that was sponsored by the Eau Claire Leader and Telegram. The boys had the op- portunity to listen to several interesting speakers and see movies of a University of Wisconsin game. William Haugen presented each member of the team with a Redipoint pencil bearing the inscription “1948 Champs from Bill Haugen”. This was his way of saying. “You did a swell job and I’m proud of you”. JUNIOR HIGH FOOTBALL The Hudson Junior High football team came through with a very successful season for 1948. Although they did not repeat as cham- pions, their fast rugged play earned them three victories and one loss and a second place standing. The “Junior Raiders opened the season with a 19 to 6 victory over Ellsworth. On the first play from scrimmage “Tom” Bowers raced 70 yards to score. Later in the period, Tom broke away on a 75 yard touchdown run to put the game on ice. In the second game of the season, the “Junior Raiders” turned back the New Richmond Tigers 18 to 12. “Tom” Bowers and Terry Beaudry sparked the home team to two touch- downs. and then Dean Uarson scored the win- ning touchdown on a pass interception. The Junior High team continued undefeated, as it romped over River Falls 26 to 6. “Tom” Bowers, Roger Prescott, and Terry Beaudry did the scoring for Hudson, as the line opened the way. The “Junior Raiders” dropped from the un- beaten ranks when they were defeated bv a heav- ier. well balanced Spring Valley team, 19 to 0. TIil- Hudson team was badly outweighed, but the boys gave a good account of themselves and they threatened to score many times. 62 homecoming There was a buzz of activity going on around school during homecoming week. The fourteen advisory groups were busy making and cutting out figures of players and icicles for windows that were decorated down- town. The Schultz Brothers window, decorated by Mrs. Frokjer’s advisory group, won first prize. The halls in school were decorated Thurs- day with dummy football players and («per ones. Signs and footballs also adorned the walls. The gym was decorated with blue and white streamers and signs with the football players names on them. A large sign was hung on one side of the gym. This sign had been hung in the auditorium earlier in the week. Friday afternoon at 2:55 a skit was pre- sented in the auditorium. The band played a number of selections, and the cheerleaders pre- sented new yells. Mr. Torgerson gave a short talk. Captain Vernon Christensen presented the first string football players. During the half of the game, the corona- tion of Queen De Dues Foss took place. After the game a dance was held in the high school gym for the alumni. Approximately 150 alumni were present. Refreshments were served. Music was furnished by the juke-box. One cAct blay ELMER AND THE LOVEBUG The one-act comedy, “Elmer and the Love- bug , was presented by a mixed group of under- classmen. It was directed by Phyllis Danielson and Constance Hammill under the supervision of Mrs. Frances Rolle. The cast was as follows: Janie Collier......... Pat Clyngen] eel Jeanie Collier ...... Jane Cornelissen Susan Collier ......... Flossie Beers Elmer Collier..........Tom Haugen Fannie Belle .... Annabelle Weinberg Luke Lawson ........ David Ruemmele Hubert Brown............

It's a big event: and as they proceed to invite their friends Wanda. innie, and Faye, and best beaus, they are thrilled with the prospect of not having Elmer around to upset their smoothly planned schedule. But that little darling can't he kept in any one p'ace for long so he arrives home and involves his swimming coach. Luke Lawson, friend Cecil, not to mention picking on “poor Hubert”. Social life has no appeal to Elmer, and girls — well, they're just taboo! It’s the great outdoors that attracts the young hero; that is. until a sweet young thing by the name of Millicent Carr creeps upon him unawares. And Millicent seems to know just the right thing to say and when to say it. The lovebug gets Elmer, and he's bitten badly; hut with each bite the audience enjoyed plenty of good comedy. baccalaureate and (Commencement The baccalaureate service was held on Sun- day, May 22, 7:30 p. m.. in the high school auditorium. Reverend Raymond Borg presented an inspiring sermon, “This Is the Victory”, to forty-seven seniors. The Zion Lutheran choir sang two numbers, “Sing Unto the Lord”, by Wennerberg, and “There Is a Balm in Gilead , by Dawson. The commencement exercises were held in the Hudson High School auditorium on Thurs- day evening, May 26, at 8:00 p. m. The program consisted of a round-table dis- cussion based on the survey of the community by the senior class this spring. Those participating in the discussion were Arvin Lovaas, Daniel Borg. Mvrlon Daniels, Mary Louise Vaughn, and Lor- raine Scuillo. Several musical selections were presented. The Choir sang, “O God Our Help in Ages Past . “ ake. Awake”, and “Dayspring of Eternity . Yvonne Martin sang a solo, “By a Lonely Forest Pathway . and a mixed group of seniors sang “O Lovely Heart” and “To Thee We Sing . In conclusion, the Board of Education pre- sented the seniors with their diplomas. 63 Advisory The advisory program is designed to train each student in service to home, school, and com- munity, and to develop character and personal- ity as well as responsibility in social and civic obligations. W hen coming into high school, the student is assigned to an advisory group and to an adviser. There are fourteen such advisory groups, includ- ing two junior high groups. These groups meet every two weeks on Wednesdays. The advisory group is a place where programs of interest are presented to the students at each meeting and where the problems of the students are discussed. Early in the fall, the advisory group elects officers. In addition to the regular organization officers, a Student Council representative is chos- en. It is his duty to take back to the Student Council the ideas atid suggestions relating to stu- dent government and life that the students in the advisory groups may make. In this way, democracy is carried on in our school. One of the outstanding meetings in the fall was a reception honoring Miss Elizabeth Peter- son, the doctors, their nurses, and their wives. This was the main social event of the year. Other meetings were devoted to planning students’ programs and discussing the extra cur- ricular activities in which a student might par- ticipate. Two advisory meetings stressed auto- mobile and home safety by means of demonstra- tions, talks, and motion pictures. JUNIOR HIGH Interscholastically the junior high basketball team, coached by V. G. Heiting, wound up the season with four wins and two losses. The re- sults of the games were: December 17—Hudson 25, River Falls 17 January 1—Hudson 24, Bayport 23 January 14—Hudson 33, New Richmond 32 February 1—Hudson 26, Bayport 16 February 4—Hudson 17, River Falls 19 February 11—Hudson 12, New Richmond 20 The intramural teams had a tournament to decide the year’s champion. “Bob” Nelson’s Wildcats were successful in winning a playoff game with Dean Larson’s Hawkeyes, 32 to 22, and then going on to win the championship game with Charlie W’right’s Pipers, 19 to 17. In a consolation game, the Hawkeyes ran over Danny Neises’ Gophers, 34 to 17.

Christ- mas tree ornaments, wall, window and table decorations, tray favors, and nut cups were made Several groups sent boxes of gifts and scrap- books for the children of Ancker Hospital and Sister Kenny Institute. In the boxes were toy dogs, trucks, and other toys. At the hobby meeting Mrs. George Thomp- son displayed her co lection of beautiful flags and gave an interesting and instructive talk. On Vocations Day trips were planned for the upper classmen who were interested in science, teaching, radio, and journalism. For the under- classmen qualified persons in the fields of nurs- ing, conservation, teaching, and commercial spoke to the groups. For the second consecutive year the advisory groups contributed money to help support a school in Europe. At one of the last meetings in the spring, each group chose a particular civic service pro- ject in the community to do. This carries out the idea of service to the community. The last meeting of the year was the orien- tation program for the eighth grade pupils in this school district who are invited to visit the high school they with high school will attend activities. to become familiar IASKETBALL Salmon .. . 22 9 16 53 I ersell . . . . 23 6 18 52 Wright . . . 17 5 29 39 Trudell . . . 18 4 14 39 R.

To the bystander it seemed that, as if by magic, our gvm had been transformed into a beautiful garden, but of course the juniors knew that a lot of hard work had been put in to make this realistic scene. The trellis-work along the walls was covered with climbing roses and a rock garden in one corner featured a pond and a bird bath. Picket fences bordering a garden of holly- hocks were at one end of the gym and a long arch formed an entrance to the garden. Lawn Chaperones, faculty and s' Mr. and Mrs. W. G.

Explosions are often heard from the room of Ed Burns, chemistry student, and the aftermath of the fireworks results in Howard Brant calling Ed’s room “The Stinkum Stinktorum”. Howard Brant (Vernon Christensen), a zoology student, is frantically trying to finish a term paper for Professor Bean (Ronald Payson), a well-meaning, but stern pedagogue who is work- ing under hard-hearted President Dixon (Clyde Christensen). Howard’s work is vastly compli- cated by the interruptions caused by his friends, the artist Vic Lewis (Jack Putman), the chemist Ed Burns (David Cleveland), and their girl friends, Vivian George (Marlene Redman), and Lou Herron (Shirley Benedict). ass Vlay Howard’s thinking is further complicated by the arrival of his Aunt Maude (Phyllis Daniel- son), from California, To make things worse, Howard’s girl friend, Ann Purcell (Yvonne Mar- tin), cannot get hotel reservations for her parents, and she asks Howard to entertain her father, Henry Purcell (Robert Gifford), at the boarding house run by Mrs. Spangler (Patricia Van Horn), while she, Ann, takes her mother Phoebe Purcell (Mary Louise Vaughn), in with her at the girls’ dorm. The technical staff of the production was made up of property manager, Lorraine Scuillo; prompters, Eleanor Thompson and Anna Marie Barr; stage managers, Wendell Adams and Ken- neth DeWitte; make-up, Joyce Worrell, assisted by underclassmen; publicity, Mary Louise Vaughn and Patricia Van Horn; assistant di- rector, Constance Hammill; and director, Mrs. Frances Rolle.
