aa' BLUE AND WHITE -431' Class History Freshman Year Our dreams come true! In September, 1934, we strutted toward our new four year home. 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
