RAIDER REVIEW HUDSON HIGH SCHOOL HUDSON, WISCONSIN 54016 1987 TRUE BLUE ANNUAL, VOLUME 82 How would you review the Raider's year? Would you give it four stars or no stars at all? Think back over the events in your classes, in sports, in your activities, and the things that you thought were important. Just as a reviewer might rave or pan a performance, we will review the happenings, organizations, academics, and individuals of the year at school. After reading our review, you can decide how many stars you would give 1986-87 at Hudson High School.

The junior class spent the customary months of preparation and planning for the special evening, held this year at the Skatery. Sophisticated evening fashions, elegant pre-prom dinners, and slow dancing added up to a general success. Overall it was a nice Prom, commented Dave Ho- gan, adding, we had lots of room at the Skatery. NIGHT” Prom 7 (1) The dance music ran hot and cool. (2) Deanna Halverson and Tim Jenson sway to the music. (3) Dancing is serious business for Kris Stoehr and Mike Solberg. (4) The crowds observe the splendor of their classmates. It was a year of change for graduation. An all- night senior party was added and the ceremony was moved to Friday night. Of the party, Heather Kees remarked, It was really fun. Agreeing, Lori Busick said, It was worth the money. The all-nighter was held at the junior high and featured games and door prizes. (Heather walked away with the giant teddy bear.) In addition, the cere- mony was moved to Fri- day night. The reason be- hind the change was the party. The organizers needed a day to clean up the aftermath of the fes- tivities. These traditions seemed to be a hit with the graduates and no doubt will be continued in the future. 8 Graduation vfmS (top lett) It was a hot day ior graduation practice, and loan Sandquist didn't seem too enthusiastic, (top right) Ms. Holmes brings out the best in her senior choir.

Later in the week Punk Day and the Powder- puff game added to the fun. The true goodies, however, were saved tor Friday. Friday morning began with a high voltage of elec- tricity as blaze orange, purple, and white filled the school, deco- rating the halls and many faces. The evening was filled with even more excitement as the Raiders creamed the Huskies of Eau Claire North. Following the game .was, of course, the Homecoming Dance. There, Sue Sollom was crowned Homecoming Queen. Thanks to the efforts of the student council, the faculty, and you and I, many longlasting memories were formed from Homecoming Week.

When we first begin it's a little frightening, but the fright turns to excitement, and the excite- ment may turn to boredom for some, or a career for others. Whether the money goes toward the car, new clothes, a hot date, or future education, most students agree that the work experience is one that will be with us forever. (1) I.P. keeps work area clean, jus! as he's told. (2) Bobbi Hahn works hard lor her money! (3) The Cupboard and Beth Wymer: soon to be a major motion picture. 3 12 Student Jobs (1) (2) (3) (4) Karen provides service with a smile at Hardee's.

I OWE, I OWE, SO OFF TO WORK I GO 4 Student Jobs 13 The Fifties Look Is Back The fifties look is back in stated Shelli Einhardt and it shows in the styles that the HHS students are wearing. Faded jeans and jean jackets are back in, along with the big baggy style. Many of the styles of last spring are again seen in the halls this year with a big emphasis on hair. Debi Morrissette commented There really isn't that big of a change in clothes, it's the hair cuts that have changed the most. 14 Fashion 4 FASHIONS — FADS 1. Tracey Marvin sports three of the biggest fads for females — the jean jacket, shaker sweater and baggy pants. 2. Stylish shoes were extremely fashionable this year. 3. Jeff Alger shows off his plaid trousers with suspenders. 4. Clothes with black were popular this year as shown by Scott Mangine. 5. Knotted bracelets were popular with guys as well as girls. 6.

Fashion 15 Pop Concert The gym was packed once again for the combined vocal and instrumental event of the year. Ms Holmes and Ms Tjorne- hoj promised to reduce the length of the show, and they did it. Just about the time when the chairs were getting truly un- comfortable, the flag (almost) unfurled, the band struck up with Sousa, and an- other great concert was over. The direc- tors felt that the guality of the perfor- mance was very high, and the performers couldn't dis- agree. Much effort was put into the event, and it showed at the crucial time.

A fondness for peppers, and summer's highlight is always the Pepper Festi- val. The 1987 Queen is Kari Luedtke, backed by Princesses Lau- rel Kees, Denise Martineau, and Mindy McCuen. Some of the activi- ties they will appear in during the year, are, the Winter Carnival, Sno- ball, and many parades. The candi- dates say there is much work in- volved in Pepperfest, and that the weekend before the coronation is es- pecially hectic, but fun. � inFt-ra; 18 Snoball — A Dazzling Experience What used to be a dream became a reality on January 10th for three senior girls, who were selected as dazzling Hudson royalty. The happy winners are Andrea Crawford, Miss Hudson; Becky Smith, First Princess; and sharing responsibilities as Sec- ond Princess and Miss Congeniality, Kim Soltis. Andrea, a cross country runner and future St. Olaf scholar, remarked that the reality of being Miss Hudson hasn't really sunk in yet. Presumably this will change as soon as she and her royalty begin to appear in various events such as the Winter Carnival. Other parades, teas, and coronations will follow, pro- viding the real side to the dazzling dream. 1) The moment of truth! 2) Surprised Andrea Crawford crowned Miss Hudson '87. 3) First princess, Becky Smith; Miss Hud- son.

During the summer the stu- dents of H.H.S. participated in many different activities. The Baptist and Presbyterian Churches sponsored a trip to North Dakota to go mountain climbing, although only 7 of those on the trip actually went climbing. When asked how the trip was, Karol Strey ex- claimed, “It was great! The Trinity Lutheran Church also sponsored a trip to Washing- ton. 2 (1) Tom Anderson reveals his secret recipe to friends. (2) Julie O'Brien, Kathy Nakata and Art Forester prepare for the mountain climbing. (3) Vicki Buhr, Debbie Forsythe and Emily Cudd enjoying the sun and fun of summer.

(6) Pete Johnson and Vicki Buhr enjoying a ride on the carrousel during their short summer vacation. 3 20 Summer Activities ACTIVITIES ''But what happened around Hud- son?” For those students who did not go gallivanting around the country, sum- mer was still a blast. Cookouts at the State Park and waterskiing on the St. Croix were some of the activities that stu- dents did around Hud- son. These summer activi- ties leave students of the H.H.S. with many great memories of the summer of 86'. Summer Activities 21 Each year one can ob- serve a change in student behavior towards the end of January. Suddenly, students are wearing bright shorts and short sleeved shirts, when it is the middle of win- ter! What could cause this? The answer is Hawaiian Day, the beginning of the King Kold festival. One might think it is crazy to wear shorts in this season, but the King Kold pep rally really warms up the school. Then everyone meets the King Kold candidates and chooses the best legs in the 1 3 group. This pep rally is also special because the male raidaires also get to strut their stuff. After the basketball game, everyone heads to the Hawaiian - King Kold dance. This year a suprised Hal Stewart was crowned King Kold 87 at the dance. 1 Elin Anderson shows off her school spirit by dressing up on Hawaiian Day. 2.

The 1986-87 school year was extremely productive lor the TBT. It introduced the coin machines, color copies, and a sixteen page paper. Mr. Gustafson felt that the Eau Claire workshop helped improve the paper's photography. He also thought there was more and better coverage of a wider spectrum of the student body. Deanna Armbruster states, We had a lot of talent working for the paper this year, and I hope that it will only expand and improve next year. (1) Back row: B. Bornfleth, D. Hatch, D. Dresler, S.

Now as we goose our final gander we leave behind the keys to those doors, and behind them, a wealth of knowledge so pure and unrefined that the Babushka himself would be proud. So remember there are always three sides to a triangle. Yours truly, G D (3) Cami and Christine anxiously await their new assignment. (4) The paper wouldn't be the same without Mike.

True Blue Times 27 7 Even though the yearbook staff has grown bigger it still seems like we don't have the people we need to meet dead- lines. When asked why they joined yearbook Leslie Kunze says, she joined because of the M M's, while Kelly Nel- son says, it was something fun to do. Tammi Hildebrandt also joined for something new and different. Some of the advantages of being on the staff, are that you get to pick the pictures to go in the book, states Jeff Alger. You also get to see the book first and have pizza parties, adds Kelly Nel- son. Along with advantages there are disadvantages, such as working long hours to meet deadlines, comments Mrs. Phillips, but Kelly Nelson doesn't like having people on the staff who don't work. Even so, the staff would advise anyone to join yearbook if they like fun and interesting things to do, and can tolerate stress! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

TBA 29 Cheering Their Teams to Victory Cheerleading requires a great deal of enthusiasm, school spirit, and energy, and this years squads qualify well in these areas. The responsibilities don't stop with cheering at the games; they also include organizing pep fests, making locker tags and posters, and making treats for the team members. All this is fun, not work, claims hockey cheer- leader Amy Lee, adding they're a fun group to cheer for because they treat us well.’ Under the direction of new advisor Mary Britten-Vogland, the Raidaires have reached new heights in talent and perfor- mance. Performing at home games for football and basket- ball, they've impressed many fans. Captains of the squad this year are Kris Mockler and Kim Soltis. They noted that many Rai- daires have extensive dance ex- perience, and they also apply it in other places. Laura Olson, for example, teaches aerobics at the Hudson House. 5 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

The student council is the back-bone of our school orga- nizing everything from pep-fests to community related events. Student council is led this year by Jennifer Nelson and controlled by Mr. Rengstorf. This year the student council has started a SADD program, which is slowly flour- ishing, and they have also raised funds and food for the Hudson food shelf. We should all be thankful that we have such an active student council who caters to our needs inside these colorful walls and throughout our community. 1) From left to right. Front row: G. Zappa. M.

Among their duties are arranging the Spring Athletic Banquet and awards, publishing an athletic calen- H-Club Working Together, Relaxing Together dar, and raising funds by selling con- cessions at the basketball and football games. If any of this sounds exciting, you might consider joining the club. Any letter winner is eligible. It's really fun to get to know people better and make plans enthuses club president Karol Strey. H-Club meets before school once a month to make decisions, assign responsibilities, and scarf down doughnuts and orange juice.

Acting up . . . Again The Theatre Arts team took their one-act play Go Ask Alice to state competition this year. This accom- plishment took a great deal of coo- peration and patience, as well as a modicum of talent and assistance from the advisors, Mr. Lewis and Miss Neumann. The twelve member team made up mainly of juniors, hopes to do equally as well, if not better, next year. 1. Back row; Missy Olson, Mark Kelly, De- anna Armbruster. Brian Hanson, Eric Ol- son.

To those of you who are not, JOIN THE TEAM! The experience is at once both fulfilling and totally beyond description or comprehen- sion. Quoth forensicator Laura Peterson: I'm speechless. What can I say? One thing all associated agree on, however, is that these two activities have many benefits besides the euphoria, or Thespian Thrill as it is known to the veterans. The most impor- tant, as all will agree, is the feeling of self confidence that arises from within one- self. (1) The infamous debate team — Back row — E. Olsen, L. Dahl, K. Moerke, D. Ladd, S.

Headed by a new superintendent, Dr. Ronald Rice, they are responsible for keeping the school running every day. Another new member of the adminis- tration team, here at the high school, is Sue Hansen. Sue has organized, and now coordinates, a program of alter- native education, involving work experience and even- ing classes. Keeping the school system on its feet is a tough job, but everyone, from the top administrators to the secretaries, works hard and keeps the problems mini- mal. 1. Principal. Mr. Schumacher. 2. Assistant principal. Mr. Scheffen. 3. Superintendent. Dr. Rice. 4. Mrs. Preston, Mr. Schumacher's secretary. 5. Mrs. Spencer. Mr. Scheffen's secretary, and ab- sence warden. 6. Guidance Counselor, Mrs. DeGralt. 7. Guidance Counselor. Mr. Luedtke. 8. Alternative Education Coordinator, Mrs. Hansen. 9. Librarian. Mrs. Ronmgan. Keeping the school clean is the task of Mr. Blyton. Aiding the sick is a job for Mrs. Stodola. Getting pa- pers copied for the teachers keeps the HRC ERC aids busy. Mr. Forester has a long day of keeping the VCR's and electronic equipment in top notch order. The bus drivers venture out on the snowy slippery winter roads to bring us to school. The cooks, and Mrs. Allen keep the food rolling out to the hungry students. Mrs. Skoviera keeps the schedule of athletic events in order. Finally Mrs. McGinley helps Mrs. Ronningen keep those books flowing in and out of the library. Without this help the school would be pretty dead — whether we realize it or not. 1.

Teachers 43 Cries of But Mrs. Brooke, we haven't had time to work together can be heard coming out of the Home Ec. room as students frantically try to get more time to work on their family living situations. These projects are aimed at helping students learn how to budget money, find jobs and look for the best buys in groceries and insurance. Each student is in a family situation and is married to someone in the class. They have five weeks to solve their crises that they meet. The assignment includes an oral presentation. After all of the work everyone (hopefully) knows what real life is all about - and that's what the goal of every Home Ec. class is. Home Ec. Art I (1) Tracy and Lisa measure water for their recipe. (2) Bonnie Mueller shows off her needle point Angel. (3) Creative Crafts student. Michelle Einhardt works diligently on her afghan. (4) Karol displays her new hairdo (5) After surgery , Laurie heads out to clean up. (6) Mike prepares to make a mask. (7) Student teacher Mr. Stanislaw demonstrates face casting. 4 Each year Mr. Heidenreich's classes are full of sophomores who are eager to learn how to drive. They must first of all go through 30 hours of classroom instruction. This includes worksheets, tests, filmstrips and shocking movies. The second stage involves 6 hours of behind the wheel driv- ing. And the third stage is (hopefully) pass- ing your driving test and smiling for the camera. 1 (1) As the picture shows, most students at Hudson High enjoy behind the wheel training. Drivers Ed Business Ed A thirty year tradition was broken this year when the stenography class was combined with the office practice course. The reason behind combining the classes was not enough students were signing up for them. Mr. Lindgren stated, A bigger emphasis is being put on the electronics now. (2) Typing is a major skill required in most Business Ed classes. (3) Conlusion — the major emotion felt when dealing with computers. (4) Who says typing can't be fun? 4 Bus. Ed Drivers Ed 45 46 Ag. Ind. Ed. The Agriculture classes and Industrial Ed. classes are for a special breed of peo- ple. What kind, you may ask? The type that enjoys working with their hands and figur- ing out difficult problems. But perhaps more than anything else, it takes a person who is truly interested in mechanics or farming to appreciate the Industrial Ed. and Agriculture classes offered. 1) Karol has that guilty look again. 2) Concentrating on the problem is Bill's main task. 3) How do we fix this???? 4) I just love this car! 5) Terry Mellum keeps those seedlings healthy! Ag Ind. Ed What is the purpose of Social Studies? Well, according to Mr. Heikkila the pur- pose is to help develop enlightened citi- zens in order to keep our Republic going. Bob Boyd, says the purpose is to learn about world affairs and he terms it as be- ing cool to do so. But regardless of what the purpose is, we all have to take at least one social studies course in our high school career and maybe learn about something along the way. 1) Nick annoys Mindy with another bad joke. 2) Gabby and Lori — moved by the teacher’s statement. 3) Mr. Anton is entertained by his students. 4) Hey, what class is this? Lance wonders. 5) Oh no, another lecture. Social Studies 47 ENGLISH Despite the large amount of work, the English teachers concurred that this has been a good year for teaching. (The comp teachers spend almost as much time grading term papers as students do writing them!) When asked about changes thay would like to see, Mrs. Reischel and Ms. Andrewson suggest- ed a year-long American Literature course. This would allow time for two or three novels and several plays in the class's curriculum. (1) Taking a break from studying, Todd, Chris, and Chris relax.

(5) Expert charade player Chris, demonstrates to the class. 48 English MATH Asked “why take math?” many re- spond by saying that it was fun and challenging. Others, more practical, said that they took math because they need to have something to fill up their schedule. The math depart- ment offers classes in everything from algebra and computers, to cal- culus. Junior Dee Lund advised “take math, it will help later in life. PHY ED “Phy Ed. is the best way to let out all your stored-up energy” stated Senior Kelly Nelson when she was asked to reflect on her years in phy ed. This year the phy ed. classes ex- perienced bowling, soccer, unicy- cling, basketball, and frisbee foot- ball. The weight training classes test- ed their endurance with the hip-sled, bench press and arm curls. (1) Greg, hard at it . (2) Sue Solium and Craig Gustalson study- ing hard.

Forty students leave in June for a 10 trip to Mexico, concentrating on the Yucatan penin- sula. They will visit Mexico City, Merida, Uxmal, Chichen Itza, and Cancun. Once part of a vast Mayan culture, these should be great spots to visit. Many students are busy pre- paring for 1988's trip to Germany. They are fundraising by selling can- dy. Much planning is still to be done for this trip. (1) The German Club (2) Spanish students going to Mexico in June. (3) Libby Dahl amuses the class during German class. (4) Foreign Exchange students: Kim Inset, Elin Anderson, Karan Borg. Hans Reischel, Lau- ra Arroyo and Patricia Montero. 50 Foreign Language The science department is undergoing a new curriculum plan for next year. They plan to add a course in General Physics as well as an Advanced Physics class. Two of the little-known current classes, Anatomy and Ecology, have some interest- ing features. Dissecting rats, brains, and cows eyes are Anatomy activities; Ecology keeps people busy studying wildlife and the environment. (1) Eric Bennett and Dan Feia practice dissection in Anatomy class.

The band made a two day trip to the University of Wisconsin at Madison to perform at the Wis- consin State Music Educators Convention. Results showed that the band did a superb job. Sever- al letters and complimentary com- ments confirmed Mrs. T.'s opinion that all the hard work surely paid off. Wind Ensemble and Concert Band performed their first concert in November, after Wind Ensem- ble returned from Madison. Ac- cording to Mr. Meincke this was the best concert he has seen in twelve years of performance. In addition, the band is beginning to plan for another trip; this time to either California or Florida in 1987-88. 52 Band in nn. tlMJ} Marching Band had a successful year; ending with half-time shows for football. The Band traveled to New Richmond, Sommerset, River Falls, Rochester, Minneapolis, Hammond, Alexandrea and finished by hosting parades in Hudson and North Hud- son. The Marching Band brought out the excitement by taking first place (twice), second, third, fourth and sixth for the year. Jazz Band per- formed its first concert of the year in December. The University of Eau Claire Jazz Band performed a con- cert for band members and after the concert tutored and visited HHS Jazz members for an hour explaining col- lege jazz techniques. 17 54 I Anna demonstrates poise. 2 3 Concert Band and Wind Ensembles Fabulous Flutes. 4 Concert Bands Super Saxophones 5 Wind Ensembles Clever Clarinets 6 Wind Ensembles Singing Saxophones 7 Concert Bands Laughing Low Brass 8 9 Concert Band and Wind Ensembles Per- fect percussion players 10 Wind Ensembles Fancy French Homs II Concert Bands Funny French Homs 12 13 Concert Bands and Wind Ensembles Tri- umphant Trumpets 14 Take it away Andy! 15 Wind Ensembles loud low brass 16 Concert Bands Classy Clarinets 17 As the band goes marching by. 18 19 The lamming Jazz Band and Marching Band. 20 The missing in action gang. 21 Mrs. Tjomehoj what's wrong? 22 Fancy Fingers 22 Band 55 The year in choir was characterized as the best in my teaching career by Ms. Holmes. The talent and dedication ol the students (or, as Heidi Hansen put it, the coolest people are in choir ) made it special, and these qualities were apparent in their performances. The basic structure of the performing groups was changed slightly by the ad- dition of a Women's Ensemble. They will perform at, among other events, spring’s Pop Concert, joining the Con- cert, Swing, and Chamber Choirs, as well as Choraliers and Men's Ensemble. (1) Men’s Ensemble: Back: T. Melloy, J.

Softball has been an HHS sport for many years and it remains a popular occupation for girls. What attracts the sportswomen of HHS to the sport? When asked, Amy Tolzmann answers, The fact that we are a team and have to work like one to win. Many of the softball players refer to the group spirit as being a big part of the attraction of softball. Because of their long hours of practice, they felt that they could go a long way this year. This prediction turned out to be accurate. The girls took the Middle Border Conference ti- tle and proceeded to to regional competition. 62 Softball Baseball: A Step Above the Rest (Top) Varsity team. Back: Coach Parfitt. D. Brozek, D.

Much partici- pation and teamwork made for a sat- isfactory season, with many well played games. Getting the ball out of the infield, stealing bases whenever possible, catching your archrival's flies and firing them back accurately may look effortless, but the team agrees that they worked very hard to achieve all this.

Hurdler Stephanie Brown predicted that the girls had a good chance to win the conference title, but a minor point spread between Hudson and New Rich- mond left us in second place. Laura Eastman and her discus couldn't be beaten, though; she broke her own record while setting a new one for the school, and went on to state competition. Other highlights of the season included Lara Coyne's amazing 100 meter runs, high-jumping Terri Loeffler's trip to regionals, and an exciting meet against New Richmond. Martha Richards summed up the appeal of track by saying, “It's good for you mentally and physically. 4 64 Girls Track Boys Track Steps High Hudson tracksters come in assorted weights, shapes, heights, and amounts of strength, but one thing is true for all — they each have the burning drive to compete ev- ery second of every event with every ounce of power and de- termination in their make up. — from the Track Handbook.

Craig Wolff took first place out of 100 golfers at the Hayward Invitational. At the same meet, the varsity team placed second out of 20 teams. Varsity also tied for first at an early meet at Stillwater, while the JVers came in second at New Rich- mond. Girls Golf — New and exciting A new sport was added to the roster this fall. Girls' golf, funded totally by the parents of the team, was added because it was felt that there was a need for the team. In their first year the whole team went to golf sectionals, with Martha Richards advanc- ing to state competition and placing sixth. Having Martha finish sixth in the state was a great way to end a very suc- cessful first year for the Hudson girls' golf team, said volunteer coach Carol Horn.

Girls Golf 67 The soccer teams played well this season. Highlights of the boys' sea- son included; solid wins over South St. Paul Hastings, Cretin, and An- oka; while girls blanked Mounds Park and St. Paul Academy. The boys' varsity team made it to the state tournament for the second time. They had a disappointing loss to Mil- waukee South in the first round of competition. Some changes that were made are, Shellie Rose took over the reins for the girls' soccer, and Coach Ewing announced that this would be his last year for the boys' varsity team. Coach Ewing has been coaching the varsity team since it started in 1979. He'll be missed by both current and former players as well as parents and fans. Bob Newton took over Mike Ewing's position as J.V. Coach. 1. ) Girls Varsity: Back row — Coach Rose, M. Albert, T. Rieneke, C. Singerhouse, S. Stodola, V. Buhr, S. Allen, J. Ahern. Middle row — C.

They beat Amery 5-3, won at Baldwin-Woodville; out- classed New Richmond 7-2, and put Mondovi into orbit 8-1. They lost at River Falls and laced stiff competi- tion at the Eau Claire Memorial Tour- nament. At Eau Claire Marge Ihle, the tennis coach, said “We ended up playing some very good opponents. But it was a good experience. The total season was 5-2. At conference they placed second. This season Car- ol and Karen Wall advanced to sec- tionals in doubles and Thea Feyeri- sen advanced in singles. (1) Team Picture (back): Coach Ihle, Joanna Clark, Alicia Amundson, Lynn Brown.

Pete Anderson and Lance Hanson, those cantering col- laborators of the courts, played dou- bles with the best opponents in Wis- consin. Unfortunately, they didn't re- turn victorious, but they profitted from the experience and hope to make it again next year. The team took second place to New Richmond in conference competition, and Coach Wilhelmson evaluated their progress as great so far. Boys Tennis (Top) Back row: D. Tschumperlin, S. Fisher, P.

Amy Tolzmann, senior, stated, Ex- cellent team work this year — so much enthusiasm. A noticeable ad- dition to the enthusiasm was the new varsity uniforms. Now the team not only looks good, but the uniforms let them play with greater freedom. (1) Varsity. Back: L. Stetfenhagen. J. Han- sen, S. Herschleb, D. Morrissette, P. Josi- !ek. Coach Noreen, L.

Head Over Heels About Gymnastics A season of change was dealt with gracefully by the gymnasts this year. Notable among the changes were a new coach, Shelly Kahut, and the addi- tion of three new teams to the confer- ence, St. Croix Falls, Unity, and Fre- deric. The team had no seniors and only one returning varsity gymnast. Because the team is so young, they have had a hard time beating their rivals. Tradition- ally strong in beam and floor work, they hope to improve their performance on the bars. (1) Top: J. Iones, M. Willson. Middle: M. Olson, S. Rodahl, R. Lee, J. Wright. Front: Coach Kahut.

Big Show at Big Rivers The 1986 football season was most rewarding to me because of the respect, loyalty, dedication, and un- selfishness displayed by the players. The leadership displayed by our captains was greatly evident. Coach Roesch summed up the year with this statement. The new confer- ence provided the players with stiffer competition. Their conference re- cord was 2-5, which prompted Rich Jenkins' comment, I think we could have done better. With an overall record of 4-5 the incentive to play great games next year is tremen- dous.

JR VARSITY B A S K E T B A L L Booming to the top surely applies to the Raiders boys varsi- ty basketball team. They have played an exceptionally good season, with the hopes of traveling to state competition in March. Dan Sorenson said the most exciting game for him was the home game against New Richmond, because of the frantic display by the players in the sec- ond half. While on the subject, we should consider our most em- barrassing games. The Rice Lake game, in which Hudson lost 52- 46, is Steve Kleist's choice for most em- barrassing game. We lost to them and they weren't even in the standings, he ex- claimed. The girls also led a worthwhile season. They made an attempt to dethrone Duran in an exciting game. Al- though unsuccessful then, they had many victories. 1) Girls Varsity — Standing: Asst. Coach Steen, T. Reiger, S. Brown. S. Sol- ium, K. Luedtke, D. John- son, M. Richards, Coach Johnson, C.

This is the best swimming team we've had for many years, states Deb Yaritz! Coach Ka- ren Erickson credits their success to the weight training that the swim team has been doing, which shows in their performance. This year the swim team will lose 5 seniors: Stephanie Larsen, Tracy Stadola, Deb Yaritz, Judy Mlinar and Chris Costello. To these swimmers Daria Stanko wishes, Good luck to all the seniors. It has been udderly won- derful. Although some of the best swimmers are graduating. Stephanie Roberts, Daria Stanko, Kari Luedtke, and Katie Cronin will still be around to help the girls swim team achieve ever better records in the future. (1) Group picture first row: J. Kron, A.

Their team spirit was very strong and de- termination was great. With such a colorful team personality and an un- written rule of always doing the best you could do and having fun in the process, one could only wish that one had been a part of the team. Dennis Dresler stated that, Coach Treadway led the team with a one- on- one basis. He treated each swim- mer with respect only to receive that same respect back. The boys swimming team was hon- ored to have sent Pete Wall to state this year. Pete was the first boy from the team to ever go to state in H.H.S history. 2 3 1. Back Row: P. Wall. P. Dahl. P. Sass.

A roller coaster season was the fate of the Raider hockey team this year. They played some tough teams like Beaver Dam, Goodrich, River Falls, New Richmond, Altoona, and Rice Lake. They went to the Waupon Tournament again this year where they played St. Joseph and had a dis- appointing 6-3 loss. Jim Bond stated that the most embarrassing game was against West Bend, Indiana be- cause they lost 9-4. Due to the warm weather the team had a tough time finding available times and places to practice. Their overall record so far this season is 6-8. A Cross Country — The Art of Running! i 2 The Cross Country season was capped with a meet at Unity which placed them second in the conference. The team's top runners, according to their statistics, are Jim Bond, Eric Ben- nett, Ann Johnson, and Lisa Whitcomb. The boys' team finished first in their home invitational; the girls were pla- gued by an incomplete team. The art of running is painful and full of discipline, many members mentioned.

Amy Jo Magle — Yes! They are not as relaxed and easy-going as the upperclass- men. Nancy Jones — Yeah! Man has always subjugat- ed lower life forms. Mark Kelly What do you do for a break from studying? — Go out with friends. Nancy Jones — Snowmobile, hunt, lift weight. Paul Lindquist — Go to a movie, listen to the radio, or go hunting or fishing.

You can now review the past 12 years of school, parties, friends, work and family life. A four- star rating may be in order for every 87er. How do you rate the performances, the script, and the direction of your life? For some, senior year is the climax, while for others, it is merely the pre- lude to the real show.

Sometimes there’s someone in particular who helped you through a tough time, like three years of high school.

Seniors (and normal people, too) need to have cash lor the basic necessities of life: junk food for energy, gas for the wheels, and new clothes and trendy haircuts to impress everybody. Here's what it might set you back. Gasoline SSG: 79.9 t gallon for regular Burger and fries Burger King: $1.22 Hardee's: $1.24 Candy bar: TBT Bookstore: 40c Red Owl: 45c Movies River Falls: $1.50 Maplewood: $4.50 Jeans (Not necessarily blue) Dayton's $26.00 Target: $16.99 Haircut Family Barbers: $8.00 Cost Cutters: $6.00 Pop Tom Thumb: 55c can Freedom: 45c can 122 Seniors Pamela Josifek Beth Katner Richard Kahler Sara Johnson Daniel Kalmon Pete Johnson Julie Kammer Todd Kersten Chris King Stephanie Larson Pete Lee Beth Lewis Jen Livermore Seniors 123 Seniore are the super- stars of the school: having labored long and hard, they can now sit back and enjoy themselves without a care in the world. Right? Jodi Swenson en- joys bossing people around , and Kim Camp- bell thinks that the un- derclassmen really do have a lot of respect for us.” On the other hand, seniors have to look at the world beyond high school: college and jobs suddenly gain impor- tance. Laura Zmuda de- scribes her feelings re- garding the end of the se- curity of school as mixed . Jennifer Nel- son's attitude sums it up: It will be like an adven- ture — some things will be dark and dangerous and some things nice and sunny.

That's Na- omi Backus' advice for un- derclassmen. Troy Wilhelm- son's is more general: Don't trust anyone who makes less than $30,000 a year.

ACADEMIC DECATHLON RANKS FOURTH Despite its impressive name, the Academic Decathlon is not just lor eggheads. In fact, each team consists of students with A, B, and C grade point averages, points out Coach Smith. The team members are tested (after some practice and preparation) in such areas as Math, Economics, Fine Arts, Literature, Science, and Social Science. It's good motivation to put excellence in education as a main priority, explains team mem- ber Corrie Groth. Although this was Hudson's first year of competition, the team placed well in the qualify- ing round and at regionals. (1) The members of the team pause before going to regional competition.
