We may review our eventful past and its many red letter days with a feeling of pleas- ure and pride. Clubs, athletics, contests, and of course the good old daily plugging-oh yes, we have accomplished some mighty fine things. If one could read the diary of a 1927 graduate, it might go something like this. 1 923-1 924 Fall-September, 1923! He who has forgot- ten that date is, in soothe, a forgetter. Girls in starchly ginghamed dresses with rosy cheeks were in great prominence on that memorable day, and boys in their freshly-pressed, first long trousers were not absent. Out on the sidewalk, we, the future class of 1927, stood warming our- selves under an autumn sun, waiting for the fatal summons which was expected at eleven o'clock. At last a scholarly looking person en- tered the picture and ushered us into the cool sanctum of formidable looking halls. Crosby meant only a huge, yellow building to us then. The only great tragedy of our Freshman year occurred on the first day, when we were kindly Page Twenty-Four 1925-1926 Wmfef' Fall. Back at good, old Crosby! No longer do we belong to the tribe of ucdant Frosh or to the sophisticated Sophs-we are now Juniors-jolly Juniors indeed, but our responsibility lies heav- ily upon us. Opening day-musty halls with sunlight streaming through-only one more year will we experience its confusion and its jollity. We have a new leader-Mr. Thibodeau, him- self-and every sign of a prosperous and suc- cessful year under his capable management. The football season gets well under way. One defeat, but two glorious victories-both Naugy and Wilby succumb to our fighting team. Hur- rah for Crosby! Spanish Club, Glee Clubs, Math Club, Debat- ing Club, Literary Club-all start the wheels rolling again and we welcome a new recruit- the French Club. Vive la Francais! Fall term over-we hail the Xmas recess with shouts of joy. C Club Minstrels December 30. Will we forget? We will not! Merry Xmas!

While the Argus has, in previous years, been merely a business organization wherein one might also acquire some culture, this year for the first time the staff held a social meeting, fol- lowing business transactions UD, in the form of a dinner furnished by Miss Murnane in the cafeteria. Another such meeting' was held in June. All members of the staff were guests of Mr. Donahue this time. CURRENT EVENTS CLUB Though the Current Events Club was not or- ganized until November, the organizers, a group of knowledge seeking girls, have left behind a well established club worthy of the highest praise. At the first meeting in Room 0 about 40 in- terested girls met to join the new club and to decide upon the regular meeting time and place. Room 104 was the meeting place thereafter.

This was the iirst affair of its kind in the history of the two schools and, it is expected, will become an annual event. The subject was Cancellation of the lfVar Debts, Crosby upholding the negative. The club this year was hampered by a lack of experienced material. The great majority of the members were untried Freshmen and Sophomores, and for this reason the Crosby- Wlilby was the only public debate held. Another important event of a different sort was the assumption of the coaching duties by Mr. John P .Kinney Mr. Kinney succeeded Mr. A. F. Hills. He has worked hard in the interests of the club, and considering the lack of material has achieved splendid results. It is hoped that next year's club will also have the benefits of his coaching.

The members were infused with the true Crosby spirit that makes anything but success impossi- ble. They set out at the beginning of the year with a bang and made plenty of noise from then on. The club, which was divided the preceding year into two groups, 'fThe Mask and Wig, composed of Seniors and Juniors, and The Props and Paintf, composed of Sophomores and Freshmen, continued in these divisions. Both bodies met often during the year and were in- structed by Marie MacDonnell, their proficient coach. The organization, after a great deal of hard work, showed the fruits of its labors when it I8-at iv ll!!! , 3 1- THE BLUE AND WHITE Page Thirty-Three CAST OF SENIOR PLAY Page Thirtv-F FRENCH CLUB The class of 1927 is leaving behind it-an or- ganization which should be one of the pr1des of the school in no time at all if it continues to do as well in the future as it has this year. Miss Traurig guided Le Cercle Francais through its second year in a manner which inspired its members as Well as the rest of the class with admiration. Of course she had help, too. The officers of the club are among the best French students in the school. Meetings were held once a month and included reading of plays, prose and poetry in French as Well as games, puzzles and like amusements. The irst meet- ing of the year resulted in the following elec- tions: President ....,.. ,,.,.....,i.......,....i M argaret Reardon Secretary .. ..,,....,....,..,.,........,........i Mary Hodson Chairman of Program Committee Marguerite Strasser One-act plays proved to be very popular be- cause they kept Wits Working and Were inter- spersed with enough humor to lighten any heavy, scholarly atmosphere that might have crept in due to discussions about spelling, punc- tuation or grammar. Memories of the good times the group had will remain long in its memory.

Many are students in Miss Griffin's classes. Some have been members since the inception of the organizations. Many students have carried their interest in and love for music to other mu- sical units in the city after graduation. Practice sessions were held Monday evenings and Thursday afternoons. Although the clubs Were practically one, each had its own leaders. The oflicers of the boys' club were: President ..,..,.,... .,.,.,,.,.....,,....,..,....

The Math Club of 1927 served its twofold purpose of affording amusement as well as instruction. Through the untiring efforts of Mr. Smith, head of the Mathematics Department, many interest- ing and successful meetings were held. At the ICl1'St gathering the following o cers were elected: Eileen Murphy . ,. . ,.... President Laurence Baeder .. . .. .Vice-President Marjorie Rigney .Secretary-Treasurer Miles McNift' . ., .. ,,..,.. ,Program Chairman The last Tuesday in every month Was agreed upon as meeting night. Charlotte Elton and Jean Altieri were chosen as members of the executive committee. Later in the of so many other things to attend x Niff found it necessary to resign Program Chairman, the vacancy Millicent Becker. ' During the course of the year addressed by Mr. Timberlake, Miss of course, Mr. Smith-all of Whom many interesting facts concerning mental science. All appreciated the fered by these teachers. At one Grafton delivered a speech on which was enjoyed and appreciated than one would expect from its title. In the latter part of March an cial gathering Was held, at serious subjects Were laid aside, fun reigning supreme. Q Page Forty THE THE ORCHESTRA The orchestra is one of Crosby's and Mr. Evans' fdirectorj outstanding achievements. Today the orchestra contains eighty members, most of whom are from Crosby. As proof of merit, the Combined Orchestra was awarded the First Prize 131001 at the 1926 Eastern States Exposition at Springfield, Mass. The work of this organization has spread much farther than the boundaries of New Eng- land for Mr. Evans had the privilege of sending three members of the orchestra to the National High School Orchestra in Detroit, Michigan, April 16, 1927. Those who secured places in this orchestra were Norman Mertlemeyer, Au- gust Brandt and Kenneth Smith. The following Crosby students received Awards and Letters of Music for Four-Year Membership in the High School Orchestra: August Brandt Norman Mertlemeyer Richard Cotter Louis Ramponi Catherine Donovan Vincent Rosselli Dorothy Guilfoile Louis Santoro Albert Lange Kenneth Smith William Leggett James Slavin Bertram Mertlemeyer On May 2, 1927, during the National Music VVeek, the Combined Orchestra gave its eighth annual concert. The numbers were of a high order of merit and difficulty, and played. The tone quality, attacks, leases and interpretation were almost Although every piece deserves two outstanding ones were the Danse bre by Saint Saens and the Hungarian sody No. 2 of Liszt. The latter easily take! lace. p It is always a regretful fact that after four years spent in developing such a group that there has to be the break when Seniors take their departure.

The Spanish Club was found- ed by those interested in the subject to provide an opportunity for the study of the life, cus- toms, gegography, etc., of the Spanish people in a more extensive manner than is possible in class. It also provided and continues to provide some good fun for fellow students. Q Our class has taken part quite extensively in the activities of the club and they have been brought into more intimate contact With their instructors. The programs in which they have taken part have aided them in class Work and these programs have aided our teachers in plan- ning class Work. It is the program of the club and the existing fellowship that has helped the Spanish Club to remain in existence as La Madre de Clubes -The Mother of Clubs.

Our men, who were still tenderfeet, did not make the first team. But they all had possibilities. 1 924 This year was a little better than last. Three of our men were out gaining honors for our class and for the old Blue and White. Leo But- ler, F. Daniels, and R. Fraegen earned their let- ters this season and we looked forward to a good season next year. 1925 Good work, boys! Hurrah! Crosby beat Naugatuck and Wilby.

However, the team turned in a very fair record. Despite the fact that it was not a cham- pionship team the boys from Old Ivy showed their well-known spirit all through the season. The Freshman class was represented not by quantity but by quality as its only representative was Vincent Coleman, who held down a for- ward berth. 1924-1925 Crosby went through this season with a rather mediocre team and went into the final series with Wilby as the under dog. Our boys lost the first game but returned with their old fire and won the second, leaving the title of city champion in doubt. Our class, the Sophomore, was well represented on the regular team by Vincent Coleman and Fred Morganstern. In this season Fred made the first of his many ap- pearances in a Crosby uniform. 1925-1926 4.5 In the season of 1925-1926 and lost 10 games and scored 5821 her opponents' 549.

IHE BLUE AND WHITE Page FOFW-Nine ' BASKETBALL TEAM Page Fifty SWIMMING TEAM Of all the Crosby 1926-27 teams, the swim- ming team undoubtedly turned in the best rec- ord. The 1927 mermen had the best season that any Crosby swimming team has had. The chief accomplishment of the year was the win- ning of the Connecticut Interscholastic Cham- pionship. In this meet all of the foremost high school swimming teams of the state were de- feated by the Crosby combination. Individual state championships were attained by John Monagan, who set a record for the Crosby pool in the 40-yard back-stroke, Ed Smith, who took the 40-yard dash, and the relay team, composed of H. Smith, Whitright, Keeley and E. Smith. Undoubtedly the outstanding performer of the year was Tom Finnegan, '27, who was high scorer for the season with a total of 55 points, which he gained swimming in the hundred and the forty-yard dashes, as well as in the relay. The second high scorer was Capt. Ed. Smith, '27, who accounted for a total of 52 points during the year. John Monagan, the star back-stroker, won five first places and one second out of eight meets. The regular relay team did quite a feat in clipping the Crosby pool record for the hun- dred and sixty yard relay by four and one-fifth seconds, lowering the mark to 1:27. This relay tea mincluded Tom Finnegan, H. Smith, Whit- right, and E. Smith. I . The records for all the events some of which stand as all-time are as follows: 40-yard free style-21 sec. ..,......... . -50-yard free style-28.4 sec. .,....... 100-yard free style-1:1 1-5' ........

Under the coaching of Mr. J. F. Boland, who was assisted by his brother, Mr. William Boland, Crosby's track men completed a per- fect season. In track, the Class of 1927 was represented quite Well, for many of our classmates Were on the team. They Were: Captain Daniels, who starred in the dashes, Freni, Whose specialties were the half mile and mile runs, Sutton, Dews, Duff, and Todd.

Page Fifty-Four THE GIRLS' BASKETBALL In the fall of 1923 there entered Old Ivy a group of young girls whose avowed purpose was to make their class and school basketball teams. Indeed, Miss Florence Turnbull, our coach, was quite agreeably surprised at the large number of girls that responded to her call for players. She soon discovered that the mak- ings of a champion team were about her. During the season 1923-24, nine girls suc- ceeded in making their Freshman class team. The team showed much promise. The school year 1924-25 proved to be a ban- ner one for the Sophomore team. The girls won both their class numerals and class colors. The team as a whole shaped up better than that of the preceding year and displayed considerable basketball experience. The members were: Capt. G.-Ayotte CVarsityJ, L. Ciarlone, G. Con- long CVarsityD, D. Maloney CVarsityD, D. Hall CVarsityb, Y. Greene, G. Jaffe CVarsityJ, M. Lawlor fVarsityJ, T. Romanski CVarsityJ, M. Werner CVarsityJ, H. Shannahan, M. Walsh. During the year 1925-26, the newly-crowned Juniors carried on their good work and pro- ceeded to capture again both their class em- blems and numerals. Miss Turnbull has stated she, ever had.

The member- ship again increased and the boys' team en- joyed a successful season, winning over twenty matches in the N. J. R. C. contest. In 1924-25 the team enjoyed a banner year, winning a large part of its matches. The mem- bership again increased, jumping from forty- one to fifty-five members. This year the team was very successful financially, buying four of the latest model Winchester rifles. The club was also able to send ten members to shoot in the Winchester galleries at New Haven. It also purchased sweaters and jackets for the boys' and girls' first teams. The success continued throughout the Junior year. In our Senior year the team did not par- ticipate in many contests, but instead shot to better its individual mark. For the first time an intercity match was arranged, and a trophy was offered to the winner by Mr. Pape. Rosen- grant captained the team and showed his re- markable leadership by being one of the most consistent high scorers of the team. ATHLETIC DIRECTORS Football Basketball .,.. ...,..

At the first sign of spring a large group of Crosby athletes turned out for the baseball team. Due, perhaps, to winter's over Long stay and the consequent difficulty of prac- ticing, the first three games went the wrong way. The team started a winning streak which Qasted well through the season, leaving it on the long end of the season's record. Naugatuck, one of our bitterest rivals, was a victim of our boys' good playing. We took two games from them on successive Saturdays. Mr. Bullen, new coach this year, proved to be as skilled in teaching baseball as he is in football. Ray Fregeau, captain, worked hand in hand with the coach in turning out this suc- cessful nine as did also Harry Huey, manager.
