School Calendar . . . FEBRUARY 3— With the accompaniment of loud explosions, the senior class play, “Spring Fever”, went off with a bang. The antics of the characters had the audience literally rolling in the aisles. MARCH 9— Jane Hurst Bryant and Orlain Porter, alumni of Hudson High, presented an interesting musical program today. MARCH 15— Mrs. Thompson gave an interesting and educational talk today on her hobby, flags of foreign countries. The flags are beautiful. APRIL 2— The League Speech Contest was held today at New Richmond, and Hudson came through with flying colors . . . eight A’s and four B’s. APRIL 8— “Tiptoe Through the Tulips” was the theme of the Spring Party which was held tonight. Easter bunnies, tulips, and “tiptoes” adorned the walls. APRIL 9— The District Speech Contest was held today at River Falls State Teachers College. We received five A’s. These students will go to the State Contest held at Madison. April 23. APRIL 15— Our Easter vacation began today and ended April 19. APRIL 27— The students worked hard today, which was Civic Service Day, to clean and beautify the city. MAY 2— The county music contest was held tonight, and Hudson did a grand job. MAY 6— Today was the big day for the Junior G. A. C. members—the dance! Everyone was dressed in her new clothes. MAY 7— The larger vocal and instrumental groups displayed their talent at the River Falls music contest today. MAY 13— Many were heard to say, “But it’s the only Friday the thirteenth in 1949!” Despite the fact that the Junior Prom was held on this formidable date (that is, if you’re superstitious) it turned out to be a big success. The theme, “Garden of Memories”, was well carried out by the beautiful decorations. Thanks again, juniors, you did a wonderful job! MAY 20— The worried looks on the faces of most seniors today proved the fact that they wrote their final exams. MAY 22— A serious group of seniors went to baccalaureate today. It won’t be long now before they graduate. MAY 26- Commencement ! 30

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
