LINEHAN He was our teacher, kind, with endless patience for our shortcomings, inspirational, in creating in us desires for greater accomplishment, and sympathetic to our every need.

I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign nation of many sovereign states, a perfect union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity, for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies.-Williafiz Tyler Page 2. I believe in the grand Old Commonwealth of Connecticut, the pioneer mother of political liberty, because she had the first written democratic Constitution in history and because she has kept step in the march of events for the amelioration of mankind. I believe in this my state because, as a political, social, and moral entity she stands in the front rank before all the world, in freedom, in toleration, in education,-in everything that fosters culture, progress, and good-will among men. 3. I believe in the City of Wfaterbury, because its government, its leading citizens, are doing all they can to make it a desirable place in which to live. I believe in it because of the mutual respect and goodwill among all races, classes and conditions of citizens. Here law and order reign. Here are work, amusement, education for all. Here when all the world is troubled are peace, harmony, and neighborly fellow-feeling among all citizens. I believe that from Athens down to the present no city that ever existed was more desirous than the City of Waterbury to make its citizens Prosperous, Enlightened and Progressive. 4. I believe in Crosby High School, and I am profoundly grateful to the City of Waterbury for founding and liberally supporting an institution like it, where I may lay the foundation of the deepest, the most liberal culture. And 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 even to the sacrifice of my life-that I may defend the constituted order of things for the coming generations, and preserve that stability of government of the people, for the people, by the people, which has prevailed in this state from the very beginning of its existence. 19-CROSBY-38 fa- BLUE AND WHITE '22 Tree Oration THE NEED OF CONSERVATION by JOSEPH T. NOLAN When our forefathers settled along the Atlantic seaboard they found themselves confronted with impregnable forests that seemed to extend end- lessly toward the west. Forced by the need of cleared land upon which to grow crops, the settlers, malignantly lacking in a sense of proportion attacked the forests with fire and axe. This practice continued, especially as our country became more and more densely populated. Lofty pines which formerly revelled in all their pristine splendor disappeared rapidly. Despite this prodigal destruction of our trees, there have always been some people who mourned the exodus of the virgin forests. The settlers of the Plymouth colony recognized the necessity of trees to their daily life, and attempted the first forestry legislation in America. In spite of this noble effort, the waste mounted to appalling proportions, and only occasional spasmodic laws were passed to prevent it. Not until 1891 did the country adopt anything like a national policy to stem the sequence of forest wastes. Since the days of Gifford Pinchot during Theodore Roosevelt's administration, however, con- servation and reforestation have become relevant issues. The executive leaders of the present administration fully realize the necessity of conservation and have established various governmental branches such as the Citizens Conservation Corp more generally referred to as the C.C.C. You doubtless have heard the following verses by Henry Abbey which endeavor to portray the usefulness and value of trees: What do we plant when we plant the tree? We plant the ships which will cross the sea, We plant the mast to carry the sails, We plant the planks to withstand the gales, The keel, the keelson, the beam, the knee, We plant the ship when we plant the tree. 19-CROSBY-38 BLUE AND WHITE What do we plant when we plant the tree? We plant the houses for you and me, We plant the rafters, the shingles, the floors, We plant the studding, the lath, the doors, The beams, the siding, all parts that be, We plant the house when we plant the tree. What do we plant when we plant the tree? A thousand things that we daily see, We plant the spire that outtowers the crag, We plant the staff for our country's flag, We plant the shade, from the hot sun free, We plant all these when we plant the tree. Although the purpose of forestry is very definite, namely, to care for forests and make the most of their products, the problem of forestry presents a myriad of complications. While it seeks to prevent the present generation from despoiling the future of that which is right, it must avoid the opposite error of saving for the future at the expense of present welfare. That is, it is not merely a question of forest preservation. The government of the country could not simply decree that no trees were to be cut down, and thereby have the solution of the entire problem, for trees must be cut continually to supply imperative needs. But there should be other forests growing up to supplant those being cut. The work of the forestry service, therefore, includes the pre- servation of forests, the reforestation of areas which have been cut, and the planting of regions which have, before, been treeless. The necessity of conservation has become apparent through the increased use of substitutes for lumber. In this age cement, stone, steel and glass bricks are used extensively in the construction of houses. Today we dedicate this tree in the name of the Class of 1938-trusting that it may always be a symbol of the growth we hope for. Inseparable in our minds is the desire to honor in this dedication, the loving memory of jimmy Arnold, who, until so short a time ago, actively participated in our little citizenry. With these two symbols-this tree's promise of growth, and Jimmy's example of high-hearted endeavor, we humbly dedicate our lives to the un- compromising future. 19-CROSBY-38 431- BL UE AND WH ITE 'Q' Officers GEORGE R.

We conquered our IC1fSf assembly, and received our session rooms. The next week we were later described as being Lost in the Fog. Hunting for the various rooms caused us to be late to our first classes, while at recess we met the phrase, Say, you're in the wrong cafeteriaf' Were we embarrassed l Freshman club activities being limited, many became members of the Freshman Dramatic Club. We received the first taste of school papers when we subscribed to the Argus. Its outstanding thumbnail sketches attracted wide interest among the class. The Orchestra and Glee Clubs received some of us. The Orchestra, directed by Mr. Evans, presented a remarkable program over one of the Waterbury radio stations, while the Glee Club presented the A Cappella Choir during its annual recital. Of course our year wouldn't be a substantial success without the usual Crosby-Wilby Thanksgiving Day football game. Crosby, in the true Crosby spirit, walked down the field and scored three touchdowns, with a final score of 18-0. Our educational foundation amassed, we looked hopefully into the future for another such enjoyable and active year. 19--CROSBY-38 'Q' BLUE AND WHITE 'Q' Sophomore Year With an air of relief and importance, we began our second year. We had reached that highly matured and settled period in our lives, when we took things as they came. To begin with, our triumph of the second floor was delayed by the infantile paralysis epidemic. It was odd, but the extended vacation became boresome. The Football Team received the orchids of the school by finishing an on and off season by winning the XWilby game 12-0. Al Povolaitis captured the admiration of the school by breaking his state record and winning the National Interscholastic Championship in the breast- stroke. His assistance, along with some newcomers, Mark, McCoy and Minor, pushed the Swimming Team on to eight victories. The Rifle Team again won the city championship and the junior Two Position Championship of Connecticut. Victories over Chester and Bassick High Schools, strengthened the Chess Club's foothold as a growing club. Basketball in Crosby was a semi-success-we divided the two games with Wilby. The other contests were mostly brilliantly won by Crosby. , The large group of clubs had active and flourishing years. Most important again was probably the Argus, which moved from a fourth to a third place rating in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. Due to the epidemic, we spent a long, hot month of june, still studying. Short vacations and Saturday sessions placed an irksome hold on our future as juniors. 19-CROSBY-38 - ,,7,, Y Y 4 'aa BLUE AND WHITE 'K' Junior Year After passing our adolescent stage in life and finally becoming men and women, we hopefully look forward to the completion of the second half of our high school life. To many, the Junior year means hard work to gather substantial credits, but to some, as we later realized, our ten month holiday proved fruitless. The beginning of our third year was marked by the delayed surprise at seeing the beautiful Von Hindenberg, which later, unfortunately was destroyed by fire-an ironical finish to the monarch of the air. In athletics, a fine year depends practically on one thing-did we beat Wilby? Taking this into consideration we find that the Football Team was the greatest success. At the animal Thanksgiving Day classic, Crosby wallowed in the mud to finally beat the Wilbyites. The Basketball Team, unfortunately, succumbed to the Wilby sharp- shooters but climaxed the season with well earned victories over Norwich Free Academy and Leavenworth. Placing third in state competition, the Swimming Team climaxed their season in the state swimming meet at Yale by winning several firsts and a variety of other places in the competition. Povilaitis again won the National Interscholastic Breast Stroke race. Members of the faculty established an Honor Society, whose members have all attained averages of 9070 for the preceding years. La Page Ouverte was formed by the French Club and has attained high popularity in a short time. The other clubs have kept up their usual activities throughout the year. The musical organizations, however, have reached new heights in their presentations. The Consolidated Orchestra played host this year to the orchestras around the state in a notable contribution to musical activities, namely, the Connecticut State Musical Festival. The Argus, as usual, won high ratings at the various conventions. It conducted a remarkably popular Presidential straw vote among students and teachers, which showed that President Roosevelt was still popular. Our year completed, we pass longingly into the majestic Senior Class. 19-CROSBY-38 'Q' BLUE AND WHITE 'Q' Senior Year Not long ago, the class of '57 boasted of being Crosby's best graduating class. Although we don't consider ourselves supreme, we promise to do our utmost to uphold Crosby's honor and make her proud of us as a graduating class. We've been happy, not only in our work, but also in our play, as is in- dicated by the splendid showings of the various teams and clubs. The Crosby Mermen did Coach Manherz proud with an almost unde- feated year, winning nine victories in eleven meets. Throughout the year, the talented team showed a splendid exhibition of which we are proud. Another sport which retained its popularity is basketball, although the team experienced a rather changing season of alternate successes and defeats. Football was by far the most popular sport, as usual, with the team giving spectacular performances despite a few defeats. The crowning point was, of course, the Thanksgiving Day game, when 8,000 spectators turned out to see Crosby and Wilby tie after 60 minutes of hard, bruising play. The various Crosby clubs also were the center of much activity during our Senior Year. So numerous were these activities that it would be impossible to enumerate them in so short a space. Through the courtesy of Mr. Walcli, many Crosbyites enjoyed movies of his recent tour of the U. S. Also presented was the famous 'lPhantom of the Opera, in coordination with the French Club. Both the Argus and La Page Ouverte had a prosperous year keeping us well informed about school news throughout the year. We bid farewell to dear Old Ivy, saddened at the thought of leaving the rooms, the teachers, the studies, and the 7:30ies which became so familiar to us. Thus we leave in hopes that the future holds in store such prosperity and happiness as we enjoyed while here at Crosby. 19-CROSBY'-38 'Q' BL UE AND W HITE rg' ARGUS . ART CLUB . BAND . .

His position in the succeeding class will be hard to fill. Richie is especially fond of athletics and success follows him continually in this field. His modest manner should carry more success with it in his future undertakings. Anthony Charles Adomelis September 21, 1918 St. Josephs School lost this student to Crosby four years ago. Anthony apparently is not es- pecially interested in sports or club activities. We wish Anthony luck next fall when he plans to enter an evening course in General Eco- nomics at Yale. Verna M.

Since her advent into Crosby from Hopeville Grammar School, she has been an active member of the Spanish Club. She will attend Katherine Gibbs' School next year. ohn Joseph Ambrozaitis May 13, 1920 John hails from St. Margaret's and during his studious career at old Crosby, his quiet smile has won him many friends. He is very much interested in boxing and football. Due to his conscientious and ambitious nature, he will doubtless succeed in any vocation he follows. CR SBY-38 E 'tif' UE AND WH ames F.

Phyllis is greatly interested in all sports and her energetic personality elected her to the position of cheer leader. Phyl is undecided about her future, but she would like to do something in the line of athletics. William Norton Anderson February 14, 1920 llflamzgeff of Bmebal! Team Bill hailed from Sprague Grammar School. Manager of Crosby's baseball team, he also enjoys basketball and swimming. We don't know what his plans for the future are, but we wish him success in whatever he undertakes. Fred Arab june 12, 1920 Fred, fun and frolic are inseparable. When- ever laughter is heard in the halls, Fred is al- ways found nearby. Although he attended many elementary schools, Hendricken claims him as her contribution to Old Ivy. Fred takes his music very seriously and may further his knowledge along this line next fall. Program Cll7djl'77Z6Z72 of Honor Soriety HdI1'dl'6!

Not only is he a Spanish scholar of note, but he is also a member of the newly formed Golf Club. Bob is, at present, an usher at the State theater, and there one can see him busily working. We are sure of his future success because of his leasing personality, and so, make the most ol? it, Bob! George V. Bajoras March 6, 1920 Graduated from St. Joseph's School, George came to Old Ivy. His chief interest is drawing and it has gained quite a reputation for him. George plans to enter Northeastern University in the fall. We do not know what he plans to do in the future, but we are sure he will be successful. George Baltrush March 8, 1921 George came to us as a product of St. joseph's Parochial School.

Co-captain Mazzerella has played four illustrious years in the outfield and since his arrival he has been hitting effectively, continuing his streak this season.

Then its dazzling pace and unrelenting offensive pressure suddenly de- serted the Crosby team, and bereft of its scoring touch the Schofieldmen were hard pressed during the remainder of the season. After barely topping Central, the Bluemen bowed in successive defeats before the booming seige guns of Torrington, Naugatuck, and Wilby, and arose from this scoring lethargy only in time to salvage a victory from Leavenworth in the final game of the season. Crosby fared much better in the state tournament. The team downed George Taylor's Fairfield ive in the opening round of the elimination and then rallied to overcome Meriden. It was not until the quarter-finals that the Schofieldmen bowed in a fast-moving battle to Manchester, the team which eventually won the tourney. The most pleasing feature of a rather drab season, viewed from the stand- point of court ascendency was the All-Tourney citation received by john Stretch Brady, Crosby's elongated center. 19-CROSBY-38 -was BLUE AND WHITE -if' BASKETBALL TEAM Herb French john Brady Francis Lyons George Woods Louis Galullo Robert Holmes Robert McNeliis Irving Sweeney 19-CROSBY-38 -af BLUE AND WHITE 'af Football Playing its accepted role as the most profitable sport on the calendar, football again held the spotlight from September until November with an endless series of sensational developments that completely broke down the sales resistance of the populace. Injuries that robbed them of important cogs in their machine, and powerful opponents, any of which might easily have proved their undoing, utterly failed to halt the steady march of the Blue and White through the football campaign. True, the team was beaten, but by such formidable foes as Hartford Bulkeley and Norwich Academy. Fundamentally sound, alert on offense and virtually impregnable on de- fense, the Crosby eleven, graced by a truly great halfback in Charley Foster and two magnificent linemen, Captain Fritz Barzilauskas and Mazzie,' Mazzerella, completed a gruelling schedule with a record of five victories, two defeats, and two ties. After the first two games, the Schofieldmen mowed down their opposition with considerable efficacy and elan and crushed Torrington, Central, Leaven- worth and New London. Their victory string was temporarily halted when Naugatuck held them to a 6-6 deadlock but on the following Saturday the Ivy downed Branford in impressive fashion. While a Thanksgiving Day crowd of some 8,000 partisan spectators pleaded vainly for a touchdown or field goal to interrupt the battle of futility, two powerful defensive teams, Crosby and XWilby stood like Gibraltar to keep their goal lines inviolate through 60 minutes of bruising play. From the open- ing moments, the contest resolved itself into a dog fight in the mud and the heavy footing and slippery ball militated against the efficiency of either team's attack. Throughout the entire season Bob McNellis and Pinky Woods gave spectacular demonstrations of end play. Len Nardozza and Johnny Mariner, the tackles who saw the most service, performed in flawless fashion, and Fritz Barzilauskas, joe Vascosi and Mazzie Mazzerella in the center of the line, admirably withstood the battering power plays of their adversaries. Behind this adamant forward wall, the Crosby backs, notably Charley Foster, Jack Linehan, jack Coolidge, Lou Gallulo, joe Margolis, Wally Adomaitis, and Pete McSherry, carved out touchdowns with relentless efficiency. 19-CROSBY-318 BLUE AND W HITE 'Q' .

Co-captains Frank McCoy and Emil Mark, Torch Minor, joe Kusaila, Ned Daly, and Wes Cady, repeated their brilliant performances of the previous year and coupled with stellar showings by jack Ahearn, Tom Donahue, Gene Kaplan, jack Bristol, johnny McNaught, Al Shailler and jack Manherz, jr., gave the Blue and White a record of nine victories in eleven meets. The season opened auspiciously with victories over the Alumni and Meriden, but the hopes of the mermen for an undefeated campaign went with the wind as Hartford and Bassick persisted their perennial molestation of Crosby's warriors. The Bluemen more than compensated these defeats, how- ever, with wins over Warren Harding, New London, Central, Hillhouse, West Haven, Manchester, and Bristol. The Crosby team reached its greatest heights in the struggle with Warren Harding. At a physical and mental peak for that meet, they really demon- strated the latent power lurking in their ranks. Sparked by a brilliant double by Frank McCoy, the IW downed the highly touted Bridgeport aggregation 46-29. It was a splendid triumph and a splendid exhibition. The individual highlight of the year was a 120 yard medley exhibition in which Al Povilaitis of Crosby bettered the pool record with the excellent time of 1:17.6. 19-CROSBY-38 'Q' BLUE AND WHITE -3' SWIMMING TEAM Emil Mark Ned Daly Frank McCoy Peter Laukaitis Henry Minor Thomas Donahue 19-CRCSBY-38 l 'Q' BLUE AND WHITE an Track Team Like baseball, track was the center of many rumors that the sport would be eliminated from school activities this year because of the lack of funds. Due to faculty assistance, Coach Boland called practice as usual. Although the prospects of a good season looked dark, it was soon found that there were some capable performers to take the place of last year's graduated stars. Charlie Foster, football star, was found to be an extremely fast sprinter, along with joe Wfolff. In the early part of the season, Charlie broke the record for the hundred yard dash in the fast time of 10.4 at Storrs. jim Gaunt, junior, turned out to be a great middle distance runner, his specialties being speedy. The runners have been defeated in two meets by Bristol and New Britain due to lack of capable weight men. Verbyla and Mancini perform admirably in this department, but due to inexperience, they do not meet the standards of the more experienced competitors. Red Brickel has shown fine skill in his broad jumping, breaking the record for the New Britain track with a jump of 20 feet 4 inches. Track prospects in the future, should be marred by the graduation of Coach Boland's Senior members. 19-CROSBY-38 'Q' BL UE AND W HITE 'Q' Louis Gzilullo Philip McGrath Dana Mayo james Gaunt john Manherz TRACLK TEAM Charles Foster Robertson Tucker Thomas Boyd Robert Boland Francis Burzilauskas 19 -CROSBY -38 'Q' BLUE AND WHITE Girls' Sports The Close of the YCHI 1957-1938 showed the completion of another in- teresting and enjoyable year of Girls' Sports under the guidance of Miss Florence Turnbull.

Miss Turnbull's ex- cellent assistance along with the earnest cooperation of the girls, has gone a long way in making the members the fine swimmers that they are. During the course of the year, a swimming meet was held with the Bristol High School girls, in Bristol. Later in the year, Crosby entertained the same group at a meet in the Crosby pool. Another event taking place the last term, was a so-called Splash Party. The girls who will receive their Senior Life Saving Award are: Dora Eurell and Dorothy Shaeffer. Norberta Joyce, Dorothe McCowan, Barbara Chamberlain, and Betsy Shattuck will receive the junior Life Saving Badge. Dorothy Shaeffer and Betsy Shattuck have also completed the Blue Fish test.

Under the management of its editors, James Dowling and John Scully, many innovations have greatly helped to fulfill the aim of the Argus, which is to get out the most interesting and 'lnewsyw paper possible. To carry out this aim, it was decided to hold meetings on Thursday as well as Friday and Monday, so that staff members could hand in copy earlier, thus enabling thorough reading and correcting, and to get instruction in news- paper writing. During the year, the Argus had the opportunity to print several fine action pictures received through the courtesy of the newly-formed Camera Club. Editorials endeavored to comment rather than preach. Special features were extremely popular. Students enjoyed frequent short story contributions by DeWitt Copp and poetry contributions by Donald Sands and Louis Yavetz. Louis Yavetz, under the nom-de-plume of Looey, told readers about peeping in Crosby keyholes. Florence Bannett fTinkaj reviewed books in her column, and showed a discerning critical sense which would become metropolitan reviewers. A new column, Frosh Briefs, was begun, giving inside glimpses of life on the third floor. Many other columns dotted the second page, among them, Current Events, Science, Fair Exchange, Humor, Hi-Y Briefs, and Club Notes. Ben De Angelis seemed to know everything about making an attractive page, for it was he who planned the varied forms of the issues. The Sport page became the best Sport page that the Argus ever had. joseph Nolan not only won the admiration of sport lovers, but his column was judged the best column written by a student journalist in the state of Conn- ecticut. He led a discussion on sports writing at the New York convention. The business staff is by far the most important part of the paper, for without advertising and circulation, a paper cannot exist. Under the able direction of Morton Tracy and Elena Mascolo, the paper has successfully balanced their budget. Due to the increased expenses, caused by great im- provements in the paper, the business managers and their very capable assistants have had to amass a large weekly list of advertising clients. Last, but by no means least, is Charles S. McCarthy, the faculty advisor and most vital member of the organization. Much of the Argus' success is due to his efforts and encouragement. 19-CRCSBY-38 'Q' BL UE AND W HITE 'Q' John Scully James Dowling Morton Tracy Joseph Nolan Elena Mascolo Carl Epstein Florence Bannett Ruth Greenberg Angus STAFF Judith Lipetz Charles S.

Under the direction of Miss Edith M. Patten, art teacher and director of the club, the members turned most of their energies toward pre- paring for the annual exhibition in june. In the early part of the year several members posed in unusual costumes, the club sketching from life. Many interesting pictures resulted from this experiment. Contrary to the usual custom of the Art Club, a freshman, Louis Jacaruso, was admitted to membership because of his evident talent and ability. Another Art Club member distinguished herself when Beverly Tompkins won the Waterbury Art School junior League Scholarship. During most of the year, oil paintings for the exhibition, were planned and executed. In the 1957-58 show, originality of composition was stressed. Although most of the Art Club members had not had any previous experience with oil painting, the results were felt to be highly successful. A club with a limited enrollment, the Art Club, nevertheless, had excep- tionally good attendance during the past year. The 1957-58 session was pronounced officially over with the annual picnic.

With the advent of the club, numerous camera fans have been covering everything from athletic contests to students in action. At the football and basketball classics, numerous students were seen getting the teams in action from all angles. Cameras are a familiar sight in and around the corridors. Members, however, have not been merely accustomed to snapping the pictures. Many speakers have taught them the worth of photography. They have been taught to properly take, develop, and enlarge films. This club, under its skilled directorship, should become in a short time, Crosby's busiest and largest. 19-CROSBY-38 'Qi' BLUE AND WHITE f,-A CAMERA CLUB Ruth Barry Florence Cohen Dorothy Wfilhelm Dorothe McCowar1 Edward Groody 19-CROSBY-38 432' BLUE AND WHITE as Chess Club In this, its fifth year, the Chess Club is regaining its former high reputa- tion as a circle composed of excellent chess players.

Competent officers, assisted by Lewis Stanley, last yearis president, have held tournaments among the members and have, most important of all, re- established the team.

Music at the various meetings was furnished by Miss Crawford, Doris Lange, and Patricia Sage. At a special Christmas meeting, the club had the pleasure of hearing Stanley Freedman and Plumber Alexander, two of the alumni, play piano selections. Also entertaining was a quartet made up of Virginia Fenton, Bettye Evans, Lorraine Downs and Emilie Tavel, French folk dances by the juniors, and a jam session. The French Club did its part for the school by also sponsoring movies one evening for Crosby's Equipment Fund. This most enjoyable year was closed by a reunion banquet in june. 19-CROSBY-38 BLUE AND WHITE -Q' Edwin Alexander Nancy Barlow Betty Bossel Jack Brownstein Barbara Chamberlain Hervey Chevrette Francis Ells Melvin Engelman Bettye Evans Virginia Fenton Emilie Fitzpatrick Elaine Gasser Ruth Greenberg Betty Guilfoile Corinne Hickox Edgar Jackson Ruth Barry Norberta Joyce Ned Daly Lorraine Downs Judith Lipetz Lillian Lusher Dorothy Martin Mary Parsons Helen Ratushny David Rosenbaum Evelyn Rosen Helen Ross FRENCH CLUB Betty Stannard Eunice Sutlinfe Virginia Tappin Rodney DeLeon Dorothy Frankoski Thomas Kane Emilie Tavel Alice Thomas Shirley Thomas Marie Gabriel Barbara Welton john McNaught Mary Gyba Doris Lange Nancy Luddy Solomon Luria Ruth Morgan Sonya Seymon Pauline Wilcox Carol Williams Anne Wolff Louis Yavetz Florence Cohen Morton Tracy Bernice Bergin Lena Garofalo Ann Codianni Patricia Sage 19- CROSBY -38 BL UE AND WH ITE 'Sf' German Club At the first meeting, the German Club elected the following officers Pfefidenl ....

At other meetings a German poem and a treatise on German philosophy were read by two of the members. The Christmas party, in true German fashion, and presented by Annieliese Fietze at her home, was taken advantage of by the entire club.

On the last day of school, before the Christmas holiday, a selected group from the Girls' Glee Club passed slowly through the Crosby corridors chanting joyous Christmas carols, rousing many students from the usual reverie of classroom activity. Every Monday, mostly in separate, but sometimes in combined session, the boys and girls groups met to practise numbers chosen for the annual concert. This, the main highlight of the year, was presented on Tuesday, April 26, at the Women's Club. Especially outstanding was the Choral Eantasiaw from Bizet's Carmenf' The club also received enthusiastic ovations for their ren- ditions of Holy Art Thou, by Handel and Gypsy Love Songf' by Herbert. In all, the program was received most heartily by the large audience. A deviation of some record was the omission of the Club's Annual Social.

One of the best reasons for this is that it marked the completion of the first year of the highly successful Honor Society. Never was a club more enthu- siastically supported by the faculty or more purposeful in its activities. Although the Honor Society had its beginning at a junior assembly held in April, 1937, actually it was born in the minds of our energetic department heads and our principal, who realized many months before this time the advantages and necessity of an organization like this in Crosby. Here was a club open to juniors and seniors whose only requirement for membership was an average of 90 quot over for the first two and one-half years in high school. The advantages of a group like this are naturally apparent. They would offer incentives to those students with averages just below 90 and could, as a group, carry on educational and cultural activities. Witlm Mr. Tappin as faculty advisor, the club, consisting of forty-three members, had its first formal meeting April 23, 1957. The officers elected were: P7'65f6?lC!2f .....

Last, but by no means least, joseph Scully, head of the W.P.A educational department in Waterbury, addressed us on the purpose and good work of his administration. On December tenth the Honor Society sponsored a College Day to pre- sent information about college requirements and to help students in selecting a college. Too much credit cannot be given the program committee for the many enjoyable meetings and entertaining speakers that were heard. If the first year is an indication of what the Honor Society can do, it should, within a few years, become one of the largest and most popular clubs in Crosby. 19-CROSBY-38 431- BLUE AND W HITE 'Q' james Arnold Elaine Biron jack Brownstein Barbara Chamberlain Florence Cohen john Coolidge Rodney DeLeon Gloria DiVito james Dowling Francis E115 Carl Epstein Mary Elahive Emilie Fitzpatrick Marie Gabriel Lena Garofalo Gregory Gilmartin Ruth Greenberg Betty Guilfoile Corinne Hickox Robert Hills Florine Hitchcock Edgar jackson Norberta Joyce Francis Kaliszewski Thomas Kane Robert Kenny LTLONOR SociizTY Doris Lange Judith Lipetz Lillian Lusher Solly Luria Adelino Macedo Alma Meyers Robert Mills Joseph Nolan Louise Peck Edith Phelan Mary Polletto Helen Ratushny David Rosenbaum Lois Schneider John Scully George Strogatz Katherine Sullivan Eunice Sutliffe Virginia Tappin Emilie Tavel Alice Thomas Eleanor Wfebster Barbara Welton Pauline Wilcox Carol Willialns Louis Yavetz 19-CROSBY -38 -it BLUE AND WHITE ua- lnter-Club Council Under the direction of Roy Walcli, the large group of Crosby clubs came together under one organization, the Inter-Club Council. Representatives of each organization got together early in the fall, elected officers and began the planning of their organization purpose. The Council was organized primarily for the purpose of arranging meet- ing schedules for the clubs in order to prevent the usual conflicting dates, and thus making it possible for member's uniform attendance at any club meeting. Michael Blansfield was elected President. Club activities have been assisted by the Council and the Council itself sponsored a motion picture program. A May dance for the benefit of the Equipment Fund, may become an annual affair. The success of this year's dance in popularity among the students indicates that it is wholly worth while. Due to its remarkable advances in school efficiency, the continued activity of the Council under the direction of the under-classmen is inevitable. 19-CROSBY-38 BLUE AND W HITE 432' Jacob Brownstein Francis Ells Solomon Luria Hervey Chcvrette Donald Sands james Dowling INTISR-CLUB COUNCIL Florence Cohen Dora Eurell Thomas Kane Norberta Joyce Michael Blansfield Raymond Quinn 19 -CROSBY-38 'Q' BLUE AND WHITE as ltalian Club Under the skillful direction of Miss Josephine Menotti, the club had a year filled with many interesting activities. The members cooperated exception- ally well, and thus, many educational and entertaining programs were pre- sented. Discussions of operas by Verdi and Mascagni, along with readings dealing with the founding of Rome, were held. One of the most outstanding meetings was the Christmas social. During this gathering, the winner of the doll contest was announced. Edward Longais reproduction of a costume representing a province in Southern Europe, took the prize, which was a book of Folk Tales. A program including various violin selections together with a short play entitled La Tazza della Norma, was presented later in the year. Short scenes form the novel I Promessi Sposi, by Manzoni, were offered at another meeting. Many of the members were active participants in the Inter-Club Dance held in May. To complete the year the members of the club had an enjoyable picnic at Lake Quassapaug. We hope that in the future the students will carry on varied activities as enthusiastically as did the members this year. OFFICERS: Pmridefzf ....

Started in March, 1937, with the assistance of Le Cercle Francais, by a group of students interested in French, the paper's first few issues were so successful that it was able to sever its connections with the French Club and continue 'lon its own, under the direction of joseph E. Feeney, its faculty advisor. With the capable direction of Hervey Chevrette and Barbara Chamberlain, the staff of La Page Ouverte has so successfully improved its journal, both in appearance and in content, that it is eagerly awaited by most of the students in Crosby's French classes. The publication owes much for this improvement, not only to the experience gained in the past few months, but also to the numerous other mimeographed papers, both French and English, with which it exchanges copies. Because of this constant improvement, the editors feel it worth the expense to mail more than fifty copies of each issue to various schools in this country, Canada, and France, from which they receive, besides newspapers and magazines, many valuable suggestions and, naturally, much praise for their undertaking. The staff is especially proud of a front page story in one of the most widely read French newspapers in New England. The article called particular attention to the fact that only two of the staff members were of French ex- traction, although they published their paper in language worthy of a native- born Frenchman. Unlike the ARGUS, official Crosby student publication, La Page Ouverte has no yearly subscription list, but depends entirely on the success of the preced- ing issue to sell out its copies. An unusually well-informed gossip column, at- tractive editorials, lively sports features, short stories, and a series of sparkling historical- geographical backgrounds for the New England States have insured the sale of each month's issue. Although this year's staff has indeed set a high mark, Mae Soloman, elected editor-in-chief for 1938-39, hopes to still further raise the reputation of La Page Ouverte with the experience she has gained under this yearls editors. 19-CROSBY-38 'Q' BL UE AND W HITE 'ash LA Pfxniz OUVIERTIS Dorothy Martin Betty Guilfoile Anne XWOHT Barbara Chamberlain Hervey Cllevrette Mary Gyba Marie Gabriel Corinne Hickox Evelyn Rosen Judith Lipctz joseph Nolan Elaine Casser 19- CROSBY -38 'Q' BLUE AND WHITE 'Q' Math.

Eleanor Webster Sec1'em1'y-T1'mJm'e1' . . . Sanford Winters The club, under the usual capable direction of Mr. Smith, continued last yearls plan of the study of calculus and higher algebra. This plan was adopted to help those who in a few years will delve into higher college mathe- matics. Due to the lack of social activities, the organization was voluntarily limited to those more interested in the study of math. Members, however, re- ceived enjoyment and pleasure in working novelty problems on the graphs. Members will undoubtedly benefit in the future by this worthwhile ex- periment. Such hints and assistance should help them go far. 19-CROSBY-38 -432' BL UE AND W HITE 'Q' Sanford Winters Solomon Luria Eleanor Webster Barbara Chamberlain James Dowling MATH.

Orville Poirier By far the most enjoyable, was the trip to the International Silver Com- pany in Waterbury, which has since been closed. There, the process of die making and the stamping of all the pieces of silverware took place. These objects were then sent to the Meriden plant, which was later visited on a bus trip, to receive their silver plating. At the Meriden company electro-plating was the chief occupation. The various plates represented the difference between high and low grade silverware. Here also were made the trophies, trays, and silver pitchers. Earlier in the year, the manufacture of common rubber goods was observed at the United States Rubber Company in Naugatuck. The principle of mass production seemed to predominate throughout the hrm. Cashin's Dairy, The Scovill Manufacturing Company, The Waterbury Hospital, and The United States Post Office were all visited throughout the year. This year, the club, under the direction of Roy Walclu, began a project known as the Crosby Equipment Fund, which has been adopted by many others. The purpose of this activity is to raise money to adequately equip the Crosby Assembly Hall to make it more useful for school activities. In this we feel that we have completed a worthwhile year. 19-CROSBY-38 45' BLUE AND WHITE 'Q- OQCUPATION CLUB Russell Bartlett Morton Tracy john DcMatteo Frederick Wilson Edward O,DOf1llCll 19-CROSBY-38 'Q' BLUE AND WHITE 'Q' Orchestra In the early part of the fall, the Orchestra received an invitation to play on a coast-to-coast broadcast. Following such a start, the members took a trip to New York during their February vacation. Wliile there they toured Rocke- feller Center and visited the NBC studios. The group planned to go to the Connecticut Musical Festival in Hamden this spring but was unable to do so because of an even greater honor extended to them. They attended the New England Musical Festival at Burlington, Vermont. This year's concert was unsurpassable in rhythmic ability. 'QA Musical Garden of the Nationsn was the theme of this yearls presentation. A different country was represented by each number played. Mme. Nora Fauchald, soprano, sang Vissi d'Arte from Puccini's opera Tosca, The most eventful piece of the evening was the playing of 'iAndante Cantabilef' from Tschaikowsky's 'iFifth Symphonyf, Strauss' Blue Danube and The Moldau by Smetana, were enjoyed by the audience. Two Seniors, Eleanor Webster and Jack Brownstein, received certificates for four years participation in the Orchestra, thus closing a truly eventful season. 19-CROSBY-38 BLUE AND WHITE 'Q' P1'C'.Vjf1IL'7lf .....

Making arrangements with the Hobby Horse Riding Club in Watertown, they immediately began their indoor riding with instructions and training. Louis Nash, a sophomore, was elected both President and Treasurer of the organization. In the spring, the members began riding outdoors, taking many cross- country rides. Due to the large number of undergraduate members of the club, the activities in the future years are bound to be followed keenly, under the direction of Miss Turnbull. 19-CROSBY-38 'Q' BLUE AND WHITE 'Q' CROSBY RIDING CLUB joseph Summa Louis Nash Elena Mascolo 19-CROSBY-38 432' BLUE AND WHITE -an Rifle Club The Crosby Rifle Team is one of the best equipped teams in the state, Among its arsenal, it numbers five Winchester 52 models-the best target rifles on the market-as well as several privately owned guns. Following last yearls policy, the club was open to girls wishing to join. Many have become skilled marksmen and should develop into a serious threat against next year's team. This year the team regained the city championship which has been theirs for many years. The championship was lost last year by two points, to Leaven- worth. The team is undefeated and numbers among its victims some of the leading teams of the state as well as Leavenworth and Wilby. The first match of the year was held at the Winchester range in New Haven in competition with the best teams in New England. The group, how- ever, fired a score which wasn't quite up to their usual standard. William B. Pape, coach, regards this year's team as one of the best he has coached. The first team consisted of Captain Edward Groody, Robert Dunn, Victor Stankevicius, Ernest Grenier, Alan Woodcock, Donald Sterner, and Edwin Alexander.

The annual Cervantes Essay Contest, based on some Spanish subject, was won this year by Anne Bubul. A common topic of discussion was the present revolution in Spain in which many countries seem to have a large and instrumental hand. Continued fortune in the future is assured by the numerous representatives of the other classes, especially the juniors. Under the direction of Mr. Tappin, failure instructively and socially is impossible. The season closed with the members attending the annual club picnic. 19-CROSBY-38 'Qi' BL UE AND W HITE 'Si' Lorraine Downs Michael Blansfield Donald Kerr john Coolidge Leslie Leavenworth SPANISH CLUB Bernard Kravitz Robert Aston Verna Akins Lillias Downes Mary Flahive Anne Bubul 19- CROSBY -38 'Q' BLUE AND WHITE 'Q' Band During the football season, the band once again held bi-weekly rehearsals which were devoted to the study and drilling of intricate formations for the appearance at the gamesa Due to their earnest endeavors, the band was rewarded at Christmas time with a large audience at their special concert. The concert was notable for its splendidly presented pieces. Special numbers by jack Brownstein and Bettye Evans, attracted wide praise. Selections such as Tschaikowsky's Nut- cracker Suite, and the Star Spangled Banner, were well received. February marked the final concert of the year for the Senior members.
