CROSBY CREED I believe in Crosby High Schoolg and I am profoundly grateful to the City of Waterbury for founding and liberal- ly supporting an institution like it, where I may lay the foundation of the deepest, the most liberal culture. A11d if the hour of peril ever comes to this city or to this state I believe that in return for what I am receiving in this school I am bound in conscience to leave everything to the sacrifice of my life-that I may defend the consti- tutcrl order of things for the coming generations: and pre- serve that stability of government of the people, for the ucople, by the people, which has prevailed in this state lrom the very beginning of its existence.

KX 3 Page Twenty-Two N Ll A Ilzlfs f FRESHMEN YEAR This September it was our turn to have thrill that comes. once in a life time. We were proud of our achievement and showed it. But, not when a lordly sophomore could see us. The first bewildering thing was the, seemingly, yardlong schedule card. and then to find the rooms. The upper classmen were especially helpful in this. The next few days brought the Argus and the A. A. assembly. We saw Mr. Thibodeau, Coach Bullen, Mr. Boland, Gabby Hartnett, and Miles McNiff. all demigods to us. We must have become real Crosbyites when Mr. Boland put us under his spell. After getting the swing of affairs, things rolled along smoothly. Those of us who were interested joined one or more of the clubs. To some it was a disappointment that ufreshie-s were not eligible for all clubs. As for the sports this fall, we freshmen did pretty wellg several pro- vided practice for the Varsity Eleven. We can certainly claim to have helped beat both Naugy and Wilbv whether our claim is allowed or not. The victory over Naugy was a feather in the cap of the Blue and White. they were the state champs. We took great delight in that Thanksgiving Day victory, proving how firmly, Blue and White, we were already. With the holidays over, Mr. Thibodeau issued the freshmen honor list and we had a glorious assembly. It was a relief to have the mi-d-vear more or less safely behind and to start the new semester as a class that has proven itself. Social events coming off every now and then. Track season inst around the corner, and final exams far, not too far, ahead. The combined Glee Clubs and the Orchestra each gave a creditable concert. The Dramatic Club presented Adam and Eva, and each of the modern language clubs presented a play. For the first time a Crosby - Wilby debate took place. The Track team. under Mr. Jeff Boland and his brother, Bill, has made a mark for itself. Several records were broken in the various events and Crosby wcn every meet. Certainly, no one could ask for a bet- ter performance. The last few weeks of our first year. How quickly the year passed! Some of us are enjoving a well earned exemption from final exams, and some of us are working at top speed to finish reviewing. Well, exam week in over. summer vacation is here, both glad and sor- ry we say So Long to Old Ivy. Page Twenty-Three r e T .P 7 ,gl 3 111 ,.--f M ' ' SOPHOMORE YEAR With the advent of our second year, we all returned with heads held high as we looked down upon the lowly freshmen. No longer did we scurry along, dodging teachers and upper classmen but we were slowly acquiring the stately tread which so distinguishes the upper classmen. We took great pride in our ability to sing the school songs and the ludic- rous silence of the freshmen drew loud peals of laughter from our ranks. The clubs enjoyed an unusually brilliant year. The Dramatic Club presented A Kiss for Cinderella very successfully. Debating Club put the finishing touches to a prosperous season by defeating Wilby-our deadly rivals. French Club in conjunction with the Spanish Club in presenting two French and two Spanish plays which played to a la.rge and appreciatlve audience. Math Club kept up its high reputation with well attended meetings throughout the year. The Occupation Club, although one of our youngest organizations, was busy all year under Mr. Wa.lsh's guidance making educational trips to several local firms. The members had several speakers on their pro- grams who imparted much information to the boys. The Argus became a bigger and better paper, under the leadership of Margaret Raymond and gave to the students much high class news and literary articles. The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs combined to present an excellent pro- gram to a large audience. The Combined High School Orchestra lived up to their reputation with their annual concert during Music Week and drew rounds of applause from the record crowd. Athletica.lly, our teams fought with the true Crosby sp'rit and turned in several remarkable performances. Our basketball five, hardly con- ceded even a small chance, took Naugy's Eastern State Champs into camp in the season's biggest upset. Our eleven also triumphed over the Gar- net and Gray in a hard fought game. Although our baseball team had only varied success, they exhibited the genuine Blue and White spirit. The Crosby mermen again demonstrated their superiority over the rest of Connecticut's best by taking the State Interscholastics for the second consecutive year. The track team won a large percentage of their meets while the tennis and rifle teams maintained Crosby's reputation on the courts and ranges. - At last the long awaited summer vacation arrived and as seniors went their way on the course of life, we sophomores took another step on the ladder of success as Crosby's halls lay empty. -be Page Twenty-Four in .l ff' 'W' ' '. gf, E' L 75 315491 11' JUNIOR YEAR At last we're upper classmen. It feels great to walk about nonchal- antly in the halls and remark on the sophs and freshies scurrying about. We gave our all by joining all the clubs in sight, the A. A. and sulbscrib- ing to the Argus. Most of us are buckling down to our work for gradu- ation and the future seems to be just around the corner. Athletically, our football team, despite the loss of every game exhibi- ted the Crosby spirit everywhere it played. Thanksgiving Day came and found our boys putting up the best fight of the year, losing after a close battle to a more experience foe. Our basketball had a good season and made up the loss of the City Championship by again turning the tables on Naugy's Eastern title-holders. The swimming team again swam through all opposition ending a suc- cessful season by repeating at the Yale Interscholastic. The track and baseball teams both had good seasons crowning all en- deavors with victories over Wilby. The good work of the clubs last year was maintained and in some cases surpassed. New records were set in attendance which bid fair to stand for a. long time. The Debating Club won the Wilby debate which alone makes a season successful. The Dramatic Club gave a highly creditable performance when they presented Honor Bright to a packed audience. The French Club mainta.ined their reputation with Le Bourgeois Gentilhommef' The Italian Club, a new comer, established itself with Addio Giovi- nezzaf' The Math Club again gave promise of some budding Einsteins. . The Occupation Club made several interesting trips to local factories which are always glad to lend a helping hand. n A new club, the German Club, arose and was immediately welcomed with a large roster of German students. Last but not least, the Argus which kept us informed faithfully on all student activities. And now with the close of Crosby's halls we found ourselves seniors, with the responsibility not only of ourselves but of the school oh willing shoulders. F' S40 'A 3 Page Twenty-Five l-Ll, T gm! -.,: .11 el, H-4 vista -2- 'Que val' SENIOR YEAR A little older, more dignified, and more conceited, we enthusiastically returned to take our place as Seniors. How much we would accomplish! What records we would leave! It was to the class of 1930 that the lower classes looked for an example and we have supplied a worthy one. Club work began at once. Early in the fall, the German Club, though only a year old presented The Farawa.y Princess by Sudermann. This was followed by a social at Christmas. Just to be different, the French Club had a masquerade which everyone enjoyed. The Occupation Club continued to serve its nobly purpose by giving a number of fine lectures. As usual the Math and Debating Clubs prospered. In the spring the Spanish and Italian Clubs both produced successful plays. Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary produced by the Dramatic Club aroused much favorable comment. Music has had an important place in our school life. The Banjo Club has distinguished itself with its Pop Concerts. The Glee Club scored an unusual success with their concert in which selections from Pinafore were featured. The final musical event of the year was the combined High School Orchestra Concert which took place on May 9. Athletics had a new impetus this year in the person of our coa.ch Bil- ly Schofield. In football, we defeated our eternal enemv-Wilby. Though not so successful in basketball, we chalked up an enviable record. The basketball team has done fine work in maintaing our reputa.tion. In the tank our boys swam to many victories. The rifle team was most suc- cessful. Last but not least, the Track Team was large and worthy in every respect of Crosby. Now, we are looking forward to graduation, the last step in our high school careers. All are discussing class elections and speculating as to who will be elected for the various expletives. Soon everything will be over and the Class of 1930 will be scattered. Some' will go on to college, others will take their places at once in the in- dustrials and business worlds. No matter what their future occupations, may all establish reputations befitting Crosbyites. fuk . ' l DV 4 -. Pale TwenlY'Six 4. U ml!-F ARGUS 1929 - 1930 When the first Argus meeting was called in September ,there were no vacant seats in Room O. Most of the crowd was of last year's staff: but there were quite a few new journalists. Jack Dillon, Editor-in-chief, Henry Begnal, and Mr. Charles McCarthy each gave the staff a talk and the year was under way. The year was a snappy one with everv Argusite on his toes. The Crosbyite suddenly acquired a rival in The Tabloid column, a mirror of the news, graphically told, conducted bv Dave Devine. The Tabloid set a hard pace for The Crosbyite and it wasn't long before The Cros- byite column was ready to give up the ghost. The Argus was fortunate in having Miss Mae E. Gould consent to write an account of her recent trip abroad. Miss Gould's articles, which she called Mosaic, presented a sight-seeing tour with a refreshingly per- sonal touch that travel and guide books do not have. During the winter Mr. McCarthy was meeting a journalism class every week. He took the raw material and put the would-be reporters in- to such fine shape that The Argus received many compliments for the ex- cellent handling of news and editorials. This year marks the appearance of a personal column, Society Says, conducted by Nelda Filippone and Florence Stoll. These two diminutives spent their leisure moments unearthing information about Crosbyites. Who went where and did what ? was their watch-word. Just after the mid-year The Crosbyite column disappeared and Out Our Cellar with Luke Pasquariello at the helm, came on the scene to rival The Tabloid. These two columns were at it hammer and tongs until one flew away, and then there was one, Out of Our Cellar. Luke Pasquariello's column was alone for awhile, then The Hundredth Eye, Matt Williamson's brain-child. saw the light of day. The Hundredth Eye soon became a partnership with Mel Bowen and Matt Williamson collabro- ating and making Sam Peeps a dual personality, as it were. i In the realm of sport the Argus was excellently represented by Jim- mie Donahue and Stan Fowler who took entire charge of the Sports Page. All in all, the Argus had a very successful year. There were good, newsy articles about each of the clubs and teams and keen competition among the columnists.

Many of our amateur actors and actresses were well seasoned by experi- ence but most of the talent was newly discovered. Leading ladies, heros, villians, daring ingenues-they all held their own with the best of years before and in the final analysis were not found wanting. At the first meeting of the Senior dramatic club, Props and Paints about thirty-five members turned out. Elections were held and plans for the first play, a three act comedy, were formulated.

After strenuous, wholehearted preparation the play was presented to a large and appreciative audience in Temple Hall. It was a big success and Eleanor Murnane and Samuel Hart in the title roles came in for much praise. These Seniors did have some drama- tic ability. Several months have passed and the school is agog over prospects of the annual Senior play. Due to the death of Miss MacDonnell's father out in Chicago, Illinois, work was deferently delayed for a few weeks. It was finally announced to the expectant Crosbyites tha.t the vehicle for the Senior dramatists would be Once There Was A Prince penned bylthe famous playwright, George M.

Many students responded to the first call for members, and now this club is one of the largest in the school. Mr. Tappin and Miss Pretat consented to be the advisors of the club and so the first meeting was held in November, 1925. Elections were held.

Every member had a good time and very reluctantly left the club in the hands of the 1927 class. However, the class of 1927 certainly did their bit for the cercle fran- cais.

Marion Kramer This year the club more than lived up to the expectations of all. The main feature of the year was the presentation of the two one-act plays in cooperation with the Spanish plays. Four were given-two by the Snani- ards and two by the Frenchmen, L'Anglais Tel Qu'on le Parle and 'fDans Un Ascensuerf' Owing to the efforts on the part of the coach and the actors, both plays were very successful. '29 was a great year for Le Cercle Francais. This year Le Bour- geois Gentilhommen by Moliere, was presented. It was quite an under- taking but well worth the effort if it can be judged by the audience and the enthusiasm shown. By this time the club had more than filled the expectations of the founders. The class of 1930 again tried something new-a madi-gras dance. The gym was the -scene and a gay sight it was, decorated with balloons and everybody customed in fine style. We closed the year with a banquet, together with the Spanish club at the Central Y. M. C. A. Will we forget it? Well, I guess not for awhile!

This concert was a big success. The same plan waslfollowed out this year and at the first meeting of the boys from Crosby, Wil-by and Lea- venworth about thirty-five out of the sixty contestants were of the Blue and White. When the best of the choristers were weeded out it was found that more than half of the members were Crosbyites. Crosby was well represented among the Girls' Combined group also. This group numbered nearly seventy but it was necessary to reduce this number in order to have a well balanced chorus. The final number of stu- dent singers was one hundred and twenty. Immediately Miss Elizabeth Griffin, the directoress of vocal music in Crosby and directoress of the club, began extensive training in prepara- tion for a yearly concert-Jbigger and better than ever. Great trouble was taken in the selection of music worthy for the efforts of the club and prep- aration were underway. At different times during the year the members of the Glee Club as- sisted at various scholastic and outside affairs and the club became as well known in school as out. Greater interest was beginning to stir in the minds of the Crosbyites concerning this club that started with ten mom- bers about eight years ago. The keynote of the program for the big concert was a Choral Fan- tasia from the Opera, 'Pinafore'. This work was a combination of the principal melodies from the well known Opera. The principal tunes were well known to both the young and older folks. One, Two, Three, Four and Down in NodaWay were the chief num- ber that were by the boys. The girls were working on In Old Madrid. The whole club was preparing Men of Harlech, The Linden Tree, and many other entertaining and famous works. On the evening of April 23, the Combined Glee Club chorus of 120 strong and filling up the entire stage of the Wilby auditorium, presented a program that for a. long time will be remembered for its excellence and finesse. The program reflected much credit on the careful work that Miss Griffin put in on it and proved her excellence as a chorus directoress. The officers of the club for the past year were as follows:- President .............................,.....,,.............................,,.,,.....,....,........,..,,,,,,,,.

This was due to the efforts of Mr. Smith and of many of his pup1lS eager to broaden their understanding and interest in mathematics. The new club with The-mas Dougherty as president enjoyed a most successful year. X The Math Club of 1927 carried on the work and the first anniversary found the new club firmly established with Eileen Murphy as president. Mr. Timberlake, Miss Carey, Mr. Grafton, a.nd Mr. Smith delivered speech- es which were highly enjoyed by all the members. The Math Club both in 1928 and 1929 were successful, Elias Gancher being president in '28 and Francis O'Neil in '29 . This year, too, the club was no less successful, and perhaps even more so tha nin previous years. Although Mr. Smith was not present at all the meetings, some members of the mathematics department addressed the large group of students who assembled faithfully the third Tuesday of each month. . Games, puzzles, readings, plays all tended to make these meetings en- joyable and interesting. In April, for the first time the club had a real social. The Vaga- bonds played all the Rudy Vallee blues, and all the mathematicians forgot about tri-angles and ploygons and concentrated on their feet, then dancing again till eleven and nobody wanted to go home. So that was a success. The Math Club in one of Crosby's most valuable clubs. So far it has enjoyed five years of marked success. It reveals a new side of the subject and also aids in the appreciation of this study. One does not have to be an Aristotle or an especially brilliant Math student to belong to the club. The purpose of the club is altogether different. It provides for its members fun, enjoyment, entertainment, and at the same time contributes to their knowledge and interest in the subject of mathema- tics. So it is to be hoped that Crosbyites will combine the good work of this club and maintain its success.

Pale Thirty-Six L iillgll t ORCHESTRA Early in the school term of '26, the Consolidated High School Orches- tra first ventured to compete at the Eastern States Exposition held in Springfield, Mass. They competed against High School Orchestras from Hartford. Meriden, New Haven and New Britain. In spite of the keen opposition that was offered, the Orchestra suc- ceeded in attaining first prize. At the eight annual concert, the Orchestra rendered a program com- posed of the works of Puccini, Tschaikowsky, Weber, and Liszt. Puccini's Aria, One Fine Day, from the opera, Madame Butterfly was sung by Marjorie Nuhn who was accompanied by the Orchestra. In September, '27, the Orchestra repeated their performance of the previous year by again winning first prize at the Eastern States Exposi- tion. They also rendered their services in a broadcast from Station WTIC at Hartford, Conn. At their ninth Annual Concert. the overture to Barber of Seville by Rossini occupied an important part of the program. With the Orchestra as accompaniment Mr. Maurice E. Wallen sang Liebertraum-Liszt- Schipa. The concert marked the first appearance of two more basses, two o'boes and a piccolo. In '28, the Orchestra gained permanent possession of a silver loving cup because they again gained first prize at the Eastern States Exposition. This year, the tenth year of the Olrchestra's existance, was Jubilee Year. A re-union of the members C1919-19291 was held. This social brought to- gether many ex-players who were surprised, yet pleased, at the rapid growth of the organization. The Tenth Annual Concert was a triumph, a fitting climax to Mr. Ev- ans' past ten years as director. The Overture, Martha by von Flotow was presented besides the work of von Weber, Mozart and Rimsky-Korsakow. Mr. Evans arranged the Symphony Historiquen a story in music of the Orchestra's rise. In June of this year the orchestra accepted Prof B'ristol's invitation to record their rendition of Martha 1930 marked the beginning of a new era. Mr. Evans received re- quests from ex-members to play at the Annual Concert. Since the organ was an essential part of the program, the orchestra chose Buckingham Hall which has an organ-a fact that rendered Wilby High School Audi- The Orchestra, swelled with the return of its ex-members presented a well balanced program. Adolph Abbenante CCrosby '26J was the violin- cellist who delighted his audience with Boccherini's Sonata in A Major. The Orchestra's rendition. accompanied by Miles I. Martin, of Godard's Adagio Pathetique met with the approval of all. Such is the story of the largest and most progressive school organiza- tion in Waterbury. It's pleasing to note that among the shops of Water- bury, such a marvelous organization can triumph. fx 4' 1 Pug Thlrky Se len .9 Rs 5 i A N P-, X ', 9511 xml 4 ifl4'-:- X nf W up X, 3: J- 5, :5??g-, If ,.'- A 11 - Q2 f l' 21161115 fl'-rprr ,Nl ci E' .

At the first meeting, the largest attendance ever turned out and the club managed to hold this number throughout the entire year. The club made a. name for itself in the history of the school by suc- cessfully presenting the Spanish play, Zaragtieta,' in April, in the as- sembly hall. The event was the frst attempt made by the Spanish club since its beginning to put on such an immense task as the particular play was discovered to be. The cast certainly deserves the prase heaped upon them for the fine acting. Misses Angie Keene and Mary Shana- han, both members of our Spanish department, assisted Mr. Tappin in the rehearsals. The cast of the play, selected by Mr. Tappin, started with a bang into the midst of the play and after two months of real hard Work and plenty of time, presented it. There's a beginning to everything and 1et's hope this play will serve as a starting point for other club-5 in the future.

All the officers are members of our class and are to be commended on the work which thcv did to ma.intain the standards of the Crosby Spanish club and to put it on a level with any other group in the school in membership. William Green, a member of the club and a senicr, was awarded the medal given annually bv the Fl Instituto de las Esnofas to the member of the Spanish club who, in the opinion of the judges of the contest, writes the most complete ard best Written essay on the Life and Works of Cervantes, the great novelist made famous by Don Quixote De la Man- cha.

Following the example of many other prominent clubs a small group of Italian leaders, with the aid of Miss Lucchina a former Crosby Italian teacher, formed what is today Il Circolo Manzo- ni. A short meeting was held and Miss Nicolina Flammia was elected first president. By-laws were drawn up by a committee consisting of Joseph Renzoni, Nelda Filippone, and Richard Cofrancesco. During the first year the club had many successful meetings, but the most marvel- dus achievement of 'ill Circolo Manzoni was the three-act play Addio Ciovinezzaf' This year under the supervision of Miss Eva Menotti the club has progressed more than ever. At 'the beginning of the year new officers were elected. They were:- President ,..,l...e............,... ,,,,,,,,,, ..........si.

Joseph Renzoni . Under the capable direction of De Luca the club held many interest- ing meetings. A small play translated from the English by Joseph Ren- zoni was presented at Christmas. l Never before was there such enthusiasm until, under the direction of M1ss.Menotti, the club created a new interest in Italian. There were meetings every three weeks and a businss like orderly group assembled to further the interest not only in Italian but also in the study of other languages and a keener study of Italy and the Latin race. InPMarch, according to the constitution, new officers were elected. I'6S1deHt .........,................ .....................,......,.............,....................

Ralph Stabile During the presidency of Mr. Pasquariello the club has performed one of the greatest feats of its existance. A greater dramatic talent than that of Addie Giovinezza was shown by the cast of Goldoni's play La Locandiera . For a long time the cast studied earnestly to surpass anything done before in dramatics 'by the Italian club. 'lhe effects of the rehearsals was clearly shown when on April 24 the cast presented its annual play. The play has been considered one of difficult presenta- tion by many prominent Waterbury Italian Clubs.

At the December meeting a most enjoyable Christmas party was held at Prosls'. All seriousness was set aside and the evening was spent in merriment. At the January meeting the Verein became a member of the Inter- scholaistic Federation of German Clubs. The purpose of this Federations is to aid the club in any way it can. This more has proved a success and the Verein has been aided in several ways by the Federation. A scrap book, the Work of the Grammar students, has furnished many an evening of enjoyment with its interesting articles and pictures. After a great deal of discussion a suitable rusionia., an orginal design, by Miss Currier was chosen for the Verein much to the delight of all the members. At the March meeting, students of the first year German were initi- ated and admitted as members of the Verein. Election of the officers for the year 1931 were held earlier and plans for the annual social were en- tirely made by the new officers. On Saturday evening, May twenty- itourth, the members of the Verein made merry bringing to a close its second successful year. 5 1 F 1 ??iiIf:E: if -if U :P Y W E' l 3 CLUB AN CERN! 3 p A Page F ourty Four F I kr.

Un- der the capaole direction of Mr. Evans, the band, which is one of Crosby's newest organizations has rapidly developed into a most popular musical. group, always in great demand for entertainments. It was in October, 1928, that this club was formed, throught the ef- forts of three boysg Roland Newberry, Milton L. Jennes, and Arthur Martin, C. '29, and with the co-operation of Mr. Evans who is always ready to help in furthering interest in music. During the school year 1928-29 the band numbered about ha.lf boys and it was their clever work which laid the foundation for the present popularity of this musical group. This past year has been a quite successful one for the student banjo- ist. In the fall the club in collaboration with the Brass Band presented the Second Annual Pop Concert which went over big as the sa.ying goes. Rely Newfberry and Secor showed their ability in strumming the strings by their presentation of several snappy duets. The concert was a great success and will be remembered long by those who attended. I The Bunker Hill Church was the scene of its next appearance where the Banjo Club presented a musical program between the acts of the an- nual playlet given by the Bunker Hill Literary Society. Then it played for the Teachers Association at the Women's Club in which place it al-- so, at a later date, offered some stirring music for the Women's Univer- sity Club at their annual play. The club also was featured at the Leavenworth senior class play where it played between the acts. The large audience reserved the mu- sic with great enjoyment. The banjoists finished their season with a bang at the renowned 'senior class play, A Prince There Was. Duets were offered by that unusual team, Roly Newberry and Milt Jennes. The audience of that evening was especially appreciative and a good time was had by all. Incidently our Banjo Club is one of its only kind in all New Elngland.. Thus as ever Old Glory stands foremost among the many high schools. Crosby has always stood for what is best in everything, especially in music. The members of the club arez- Roland Newberry, Milton Jennes, Raymond Saginario, Kingsley Holien, Richard Moyer, Paul Bec, Lawrence Montambault, William Secor, Joseph Ruggiero, Frank Phelan, Howard Freeman, John Jones, Robert Petitjean, Roger Boisvers, and Graham Cross, in all fifteen in number.

It is there that it is mostly seen, but each year it gives a concert in order to raise money for uniformfund. This fund is important as the band must create a good impression and to do this they must have uni- forms. Four years ago the concert was assisted by moving-pictures but two years ago with the advent of the banjo band, also a popular ensemble which is in great demand not only in school but in fraternities which has nothing to do with education. Mr. Evans decided to give a pop -concert and this was done with a great success and was an addition to the uni- form fund. As the orchestra grows the band grows for the two organizations are closely connected as most of the members of the band are in the orchestra as Mr. Evans uses the band as a training school for the orchestra for the newcomers need experience and the band plays much easier music. The past season 1929-'30 was a most profitable one for the band, iEachJ This year seemed to have a wealth of freshmen who were capable of playing and the band gave one of the finest concert in years. There was a large and appreciative audience and after the concert dancing was en- joyed in the Wilby gym. The .support of the banjo band in this concert was ably given and the audience showed that it was enjoyed. The students are urged to give their support to the band and attend the future concerts to insure the band's good appearance at games. It's support at pep assemblies is one of the thing-s mostly enjoyed by the stu- dents and the ones of the past year were an improvement over those of the past years. Another use of the concert is the buying of instruments. Some of the instruments belong to the school. Players are chosen from the band and Mr. Evans teaches them, then they become experts on their chosen instru- ment. In all with the games, assembles, and the pop concerts, the band passed a very successful year and is looking forward to another of equal success. if Jw!

However, the past year ma.y be considered an exceptional one. Each year the club is addressed by prominent men on a variety of topics pertaining to vocations. The club is always on the alert for infor- mation that will help any of it-s members to find the elusive Opportunity. Each year the club and its guests visit different industrial enterprises and 'become acquainted with the operations involved. The Way to Success was the title of an address given to the club by Mr. Bachman of the New Haven Y. M. C. A. Although success defies defi- nition, Mr. Bochman outlined for the Occupation Club the factors always present in a successful career. Professor Calder of Springfield College talked to the boys on Opportunities for Young Men in Industries. The club visited the Waterbury Republican-American building, the Sgouthern New England Ice plant, the Modern Utilities Co., and Reymond's akery. As a new departure, the club requested Mr. William B. Elwell, Mr. Clarence L. Tappin, and Mr. Joseph Lineham to talk on the value of the study of their respective subjects, Mathematics, Modern Languages, and Science. Then, for those who plan to go higher in education, the club held its December meeting in conjunction with the Hi-Y College Information Day. DEBATING CLUB ' Hampered by the great lack of experienced material, the Crosby De- bating Club made its debut in September. Miss Gould, because of her European trip, ceded the helm of the club to Mr. Aubrey Hills. Mr. Hills has worked long and hard in the interests of the club and has achieved much, considering the lack of material. The outstanding event of the year was the Crosby-Watertown debate. Those who participated werez- Florence Stoll, Matthew Williamsin, John Dillon, Joseph De Luca, Joseph Renzoni and Henry Begnal. The subject for discussion was:- Resolved That the Jury System Should Be Abolishedf' The usual Crosby-Wilby debate did not occur due to the inconviences of both teams.

It was Coach Billy Schofield's first showing as the Blue and White mentor. As will be remembered, the 1928 season was a most unfortunate one, with nary a win to the team's credit. Wilby continued her streak and Naugy piled up a big score, but that was all in 1928, last season was a different story entirely! The first game against Hartford High was merely a test agent. The lboys went up not knowing at all what they could do. Hartford pushed over two touch-downs while Crosby was trying to hold. The result was an attempt to build a stronger line. The next week Hillhouse put in an appearance at Hamilton Park. The game was a fast, clean affair from start to finish and when the final whistle blew, Crosby was out in front by 6 points. A trip to Ansonia brought a scoreless tie with the greatest team An- sonia has exhibited in years. A week or two later Pivots Pavlikovic and his Torrington Steamrollers entertained the blue and white boys with some wonderful football which provided the second and last defeat for Crosby. The score was 13-0. On a muddy field and sometimes even in the pouring rain our boys scored a sufficient number of touchdowns to defeat Bridgeport Central for the first time a Crosby team has done the trick in 11 years. Led by Bill Duff who crossed the invador's goal-line three times, the blue won 24-12. The following Saturday at Simsbury the Westminster Prep team was given a lesson as Crosby hammered out a comparitively easy 28-7 win. Then followed the most looked-forward-to game of the season, the battle with Naugy. A great crowd saw the Battling Blue Bunch start back toward where they left off in 1927. Bill Duff and his merry warriors out-ran, out--passed and out-fought the borough eleven for the first half, and as a fagged Garnet and Gray team left the field at the half, Crosby was in the van, 6-0. In the last period a Break for Naugy and fatigue which was slowly seizing the Crosby line caused a score which tied up the count. However, the extra point try failed and the game ended 6-6. It was a great contest and will long be remembered by Crosby followers. The final game of the season was one which was enough to make any Crosbyite stand up and cheer. A mediocre Wilby team had put all it had into preparation for this game, and intended to sink Crosby. Four periods of bang-up football showed them that they were way off in their prediction. 27-0, the final score, was enough to convince any- one that Crosby was supreme. Joe Kenney, Pep Putnam, Chub Lowe, Bill Breen, Frankie Lacilla, Billy Duff, Freddy Smith, and Chris Smith from the bench, made their final bows as wearers of blue and white on the gridiron.

Starting with a big bang, the team bested some tough opposition until about mid-season, when it sfruck its annual one or two point losing streak. Torrington, Naugatuck, Central, and Roxbury eked out successive wins before the blue boys were able to get started again. As a whole though, the season was a satisfactory one for Bill Schoefield in his first year as the Blue and White coach. The opening game, played in our own Prym, proved merely a shooting practice for the boys as they set back the Continuation School, 46-8. Bill Harnick was brilliant, scoring 14 points before he was allowed to rest. Two davs later the team iourneved to New Haven where the Yale Frosh de- feated them 39-23. The boys held their own in the first helf but the year- lings proved to have too much reserve strength for them. Christmas night the old vrads came back to see what thev could do with Scof's 1929- 30 Edition. They found the going rough and in spite of some fine all- around plavinff and nice shooting by Alden White, were set back 31-25. At Stamford that team was held to a lone foul point for three periods while Colby and Co. scored almost at will to take a 30-8 decision. On the 17th, Hillhouse snatched a hectic tilt by two points. Crosby had over- come the home-teams lead twice in the last period, but a foul, followed quickly by a long double-decker came too near the end of the game to be countreacted, and the Elm-cityites won 22-20. Leavenworth proved an easy victim and although Crosby was far off form, with the aid of a. flock of subs. she downed her neighbors 40-14. The Black and Orange team was followed to the guillotine by Ansonia wha was defeated 43-13. Many Blue and White reserves saw action in the tilt of which Ike Kern was the star. The winning streak was continued as the crack Lyman Hall quint fell before the dazzling offensive of the Crosby clan. While things were sailing alonff at such a nice pace an unexpected break came and a 'slump which reached four games ensued. There '-2 no need mentioning its details because it is just one of those conditions that affects the best of team. The spell was broken when Hillhouse was downed, 37-32, to even the annual series with that team. Another team was forced to be contented with a never: break as N'1uQ f was trounced 28-25. The game was a battle from start to finish, a 1 point lead. gained late in the third quarter proving too hard for Naugatuck to pass. Thus our team stayed in the van till the final whistle. About this time Croshv developed a hope that she might enter the Yale tourney. but it was blasted in a listless game which she threw awav to Warren Harding at Bridge- port. Roxbury took the second game of the year, 19-13. Danburv was beaten 35-21, thus ruining her tournament chances, and the season was terminated by a beating from Wilby, a much improved team, which piled up twentv-five points to our bov's eighteen. Toots Alderscn and Bill Swee- ney were the only members of the team to graduate, so a good season may be expected next year. 4 1 Page Flfty Three fx! lxiff' 1. .IL x xx, l - 1 H 'fl 611 gil- BASKETBALL TEAM , ' Sits., Page Fifty-Four 'I 4 in A BL L .f s - Ll- ' I.

Manherz and lead by Captain Vaughan Gooding finished a successful season by winning second place at the Connecticut Interscholastics at Yale. The Blue and White swimmers failed to defend successfully the title of champs which they have held for three seasons in Connecticut scholastic swimming circles. Crosby started the season greatly weakened fby the graduation of three stars. But even under this difficulty Crosby did exceptionally well. The natalors started the season by losing to the strong We sley Freshmen but on the next day they journeyed to South Manchester and easily won. Cros- by won the relay by half a length but was disqualified on Breen's supposed- ly fa-st start. Bridgeport Central next 'bowed to the Crosby Mermen but Crosby was not pressed very hard to win. The sotng Westminister Prep. team came from behind to beat Crosby by two points. Crosby was lead- ing by six points but the loss of the relay sunk the Blue and White. Crosby then swamped Bridgeport by taking every first place and a majori- ty of the second places. This season, as in former seasons, the Canterbury Prep. team beat Crosby in a. hard fought meet. The features of the meet was the relay in which Crosby was leading until the last lap. The Prep team had to break their own pool record to beat the Waterbury team. Per- haps the most interesting meet of the year was held in the Crosby Pool with Roxbury Prep. The points were split in such a way as to leave Cros- by seven points ahead at the start of the relay. The Roxbury relayists won the event by a foot to win the meet by one point. The following week New Haven Hillhouse set a state record for the relay which bettered Crosbyfs '29 mark by a second. In the Bristol meet Crosby won its second team and won easily. The first event in this meet was the relay in which Crosby hoped to beat the record held by Hillhouse. With no competition at all the Crosby relay team swam the 160 yard relay in one minute twen- ty-three and two-fifth seconds Q1:23.4J, and one half second better than Hillhouse's week old record. In the State Meet Crosby showed her supe- riority over every high school except Hillhouse. Hillhouse didn't win un- til the last event was over and that was because her reserved strength was a little better than ours. At the end of the season the team was given a banquet and letters were presented to Captain Vaughan Gooding, Joseph Prakauskas, Arthur Mahoney, William Breen, Robert Walko, Percy Per- drian, Fred Carr, Anthony Jenkins, and Patsy De Leon. fX A 1 Page Fifty Flve I fum HLUJM ,Q ,f jV :X':kx , i I . - . .t H if Q ' L W ,Qgili , YEA EYE E - fi: -i..- -...

Together with Miss Turnbull, the coach, and Jane Rusky as Captain, the team has had a year of success. The team was composed of players of true fighting ability and unlimited sportmanship. Jane Rusky captained the Varsity and deserves credit as a capable and well beloved leader. Kate Kilmartin was manager. The regular first team was composed of Jane Rusky, Elspeth Baker, Gertrude Hausdorf, Gail Kurtz, Edna Fitz- maurice, Anna Jakimavich, Monica Tamasaitis. At the annual banquet they were presented with the major letters and clas-s emblems. Our team didn't come into the limelight until 1928-29 when Jane Rusky, Elspeth Baker, Gail Kurtz, Edna Fitzmaurice, Monica Tamasaitis, and Anna Jakimavich were on the Varsity team. When we were Freshmen, Gail Kurtz was Captain of the class team. The team was then composed of Elspeth Baker, Marguerite Benjamin Ann Moran, Eleanor Murnane, Eleanor Whitright, Edna Fitzmaurice Gertrude Kramer, Gertrude Hausdorf, Monica Tamasaitis, Anna Jakima- v1c . 9 I Elspeth Baker was captain of the team during our Junior year. Many girls dropped out that year, however, Selma Rahhal and Marjorie Nelson jolned our ranks.

A large squad turned out to Bill Schoefield's call and after several days had been spent in warming up, an inter-class league was initiated. This recent development in Cros- by athletics offers the coach a fine opportunity to know his players abili- ty. A 'short schedule proved that the Sophomores were the best team, that group winning all games played. Early it was found that there was a wealth of material to chose from for the varsity team. Tony Trotta cov- ered the keystone stick in excellent fashion. Jim Fryer covered center field with veteran ability, and Frank Lacilla found that he really could pitch when he wanted to. Last years city leagues produced some fine material for the team among whom were Harp Dunn, shortstopg Mike Martone, infielderg Bill Harnick and Herb Colby, outfielders. The first game was not part of the high school schedule, but was a fine opener. The best of Crosby's past diamond artists exhibited their wares at Hamilton Park, in a. cold wind. H Henry Carringtons' big willow proved to much for the undergrads an-d they were beaten, 6-3. Will Mat- thews started on the mound but was later replaced by Ike Kern who held the stars in check during the late innings. On Saturday, the 22nd, the Blue and White took a sleeper from Watertown. Still early in the season. the home team batters had not yet started hitting, but thru loose fielding bythe opponents, were able to score seven runs on three singles. Four days later, Willis Ma.tthews made his debut as a Crosbv mound artist and held Pete Foley's Garnet and Gray tossers to two hits, while his mates were pounding out eight to defeat the borough nine, 6-2. Matty showed mid-season form and had it not been for errors. bv the infielders, would have held the Naugy team scoreless. The story in short:- R H E C r 0 s b y 1010 031 001-6 8 4-Matthews - Smith Naugatuck--200 000 000-2 2 3-Murray - Korzen Bossy Harnick secured three hits, a single, double and triple. The Winning streak was kept intact the next week when Ike Kern again had his turn on the mound, this time against Bridgeport Central whom he kept in control as Crosbv won handily, 6-3. The success of the Blue cohorts lay in their ability to make their hits produce runs when needed. Crosby was outhit 11-7, !but made everyone count. R H E C e n t r al -011 010 000-3 11 5-Roberts - Driscoll C r 0 s b y -010 004 001-6 7 2-Kern - Smith The next victim was Torrington, who was given its first defeat of the season. Crosby at last started to hit and a result of the engage- ment was 3 doubles and 8 singles which was enough to shade Torrington as shown below:- ,QX . , 'l ,s Q Page F ifty-Eight 4? -. BL 'vias-.

RlllFlLE TEAM The 1929-30 season ended for the Crosby Rifle Clulb with the City Championship a.nd a silver cup in its possession. The latter represented the highest score for teams in the high schools of the United States dur- ing one quarter of the season. The third week in September, 43 candidates reported to Mr. William Pape in Room O. Of the entire number only 9 were left from the preceding year's team. The following officers were electedz- Warren Tice, Pres., Wil- liam Green, Captain, Edmund Blewitt, Secretary, Charles Sumpf, Range Officer. Practice was called for the following Tuesday at which time the new men were instructed in the use of the rifles and warned to be care- ful in handling them. Only the older members of the team did any 'shoot- ing at first. Someone suggested that a special class be organized for the afternoiri students who wished to try their hand at the trigger. In an- other year when the whole school building will be given over to Crosby everybody will stand an even chance to show his skill. After several practices the squad was whittled down to two full teams and the season began. The small number of old timers proved to be a de- cided disadvantage and meet after meet was lost by the margin of a few points. Time and practice showed though, and as the year wore away, the new fellows made the vets hop for their laurels. Sawyer, Warren Tice and William Green turned in some very consistant score cards as did Charaf lie Sumf and others. In a meet with a New London high school, the Crosby aggregation. flashed a brilliant line of shooting, every member of the team attaining 90 or fbetter. Wilby and Leavenworth fell in turn and again the Blue and White became City Champions. In the Wilby affair a representative of the Grove Street organization shot a 98 and several of his teammates followed closely but Crosby, led by a 99 by Sawyer, came 'back to again place every one of the first five over' 90 and take the meet. Mr. Pape's interest and care have been very beneficial to the boys and they enthusiasticly look forward to an even brighter season next year. I fx ff 'The y 11 131 TIL.

Back in the early twenties the fame of the spike shoe boy was never heard of. However, when Jeff and Brother Bill Boland took over the boys things started to happen. Looking back to 19243-27 season we find a. team that put Crosby on the map. There were Sutton. in the fields events, Capt. Daniels in the sprint, and Bill Freni in the dis- tance events. Ask any of the teams that Crosby met that year and find out for yourself what happened. QThey took over everybodyq But teams like that don't happen along every few minutes and the following year Jeff and Bill had a job on their hands since all the -stars had graduated. Then George Lasky, a fboy who could do everything, Earl QCapt.J Colson a fine distance man and Sutza Haight a fellow who could certainly step came along and for the next two years bore the Crosby colors and al- though they suffered some defeats their victory column more than bal- anced these. Now We come to 1929-1930. Bill Boland with Capt. Art Mahoney as nucleus started to build a team that would get out there and win for dear old Crosby. The team started to train in April but Old Man Weather didn't seem to like the idea for to exaggerate a little Winter started in again and Mr. Boland had a hard time keeping the boys out. Finally Mas- sa Sunshine came along and the boys knuckled down to work and after a few weeks of exercises and cross country running they started to show results. We had Art Mamoney in the sprints and this boy is the answer to anyone who wants speed. He holds the Crosby record for the hundred yard dash, the two-twenty and the four-forty. In the mile Ed' die Meadows showed his heels to everyone in the state. Jimmie Gard- ner, our half miler, had a few bad breaks at the opening of the year but got go'ng and certainly ran. In the furlong Joe Kenney a star on the' football team came out and showed that he knew how to run. In the pole vault we had Gil Chisholm and that boy could certainly soar. We opened the season at Taft and although defeated we gained an moral victory for Taft's heralded team only beat us by ten points. The next week the team went to Bridgeport and romped off with a victory. From then on Crosby showed she had the stuff and delivered the goods in an extraordinary manner. me P s' r .Th Eli s ' 44 .ff ' . . y , f X If Ls, s I I H f 'Q v 6 . ... 2 2 ii WTLL YOU EVER FORGET - - The game our football team played in the maid against Bridgeport Central and in wlaifh the Crofbv bovs proved to be the best mud maulersg how Ike Kern and Billy Duff ran roughshod over the opposing line? ik' ir 'A' 'Ir The great battle with Naugv, When the borough students brought up a big rubber boot for the winners, and how it disappeared after Crosby's tguchdown, not to show itself until the Garnet and Gray team had tied t e score.

After much detective work we found that he was valedic-- torian of Barnard Grammar School in 1926 and au honor student here at Crosby. We also discovered. that Tom is quite a Latin student. You can't keep: anything from us, Tom! EDWARD V. BUECHELPI February 21, 1912 Set this line by hand? 'Tm at farmer' Mike and Ike came together to Old Ivy in 1926 and only recently Ike had to leave for work. Mike, better known as Eddie has been carrying on for the pair in a most efficient manner.
