FQAQ Z? c ,---g , . ,L-XX THE CREED OF THE CROSBYITE 1. I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people, whose just Qwers are derived from the consent of the governed, ademocracy in a republic, a sovereign nation of, many sovereign states, alperfect union, one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and hunianity, for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it 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 enen1ies.FIVilliani.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 mankindf I believe in this my state because, as a golitical, social, and moral entity she stands in the front rank before all the world,Iin freedom, in toleration, in education z- in everything that fosters culture, progress, and good-will among men. 3. I believe in the City of Waterbury, because its government, its leading citizens, are doing all they can to rrlake it a desirable place in which to live. I believe in it because of the mutual respect and good-will 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, hy the people, which his prevailed in this state from the very beginning of its existence.

V :Ch -Q tee-Y Class History FRESHMAN YEAR In round numbers, three hundred boys and girls from all parts of the city entered Crosby in September, 1936. Not knowing what to anticipate we were unprepared for the spasmodic squirts from the water fountains and the glossy floors of the old building upon which we were always slipping to an uncomfor- table end. After the passage of a few months, however, we learned to meet the various situations as they required. We even became accustomed to the idea that room 113 was next to room 0. Although the membership of most Crosby clubs is not open to freshmen, we found an outlet for our energy in Pots and Paints, the freshmen dramatic club. For the first time in two years, Pots and Paints staged a dramatic pro- gram. It consisted of two plays, one of which was a musical fantasy. Several freshmen worked on the Argus and also attended Mr. McCarthy's news-writing classes which were introduced that year. Our freshmen year was a year of innovations, for besides the news-writing class, La Page Ouverte, a French paper, was inaugurated with Mr. Feeney as faculty advisor. The Girls' Athletic Association organized two swimming clubs, one of which was for the purpose of enabling the younger girls to participate. A law was passed that es- tablished Safety as a subject to be included in the upper-class English course. A new opponent in athletics was Leavenworth, against whom we played foot- ball for the first time. Al Povilaitis broke his own state swimming record. Besides that feat, we were able to rejoice in a football victory over Wilby on Thanksgiving Day. One of the outstanding occurrences of the year was when our classmate, Paul Noonan, rescued William Boyd from drowning in the Hitchcock Ice Pond. This bravery was given wide publicity and was worthy of our pride. One day a mouse visited us in the cafeteria. Poor Mr. Mouse caused quite a commotion, although he merely wanted to see the freshmen class of which more than a third had attained an eight-five average or over. Here he saw a group of people who, at the end of their freshmen year, were facing their sophomore year with the poetic thought that next year we will have first choice of the food in the cafeteria and we won't have to take the left-overs. ,... 4 efl i KJ D. use 1-Y SOPHOMORE YEAR At long last we are nearing our goal as upper classmen. Now we know what it is to look down on a lower class. An exciting football season was climaxed on Thanksgiving Day when Crosby and Wilby played to a scoreless tie before a large crowd at Hamilton Park. The basketball team received excellent support although they did not have an ex- ceptional year. The swimming squad had a very good year winning nine out of eleven meets. A good baseball season was enjoyed especially since Crosby defeated Wilby twice. The feature of the season was the Crosby-Gilbert contest as Pinky Woods pitched a no-hit, no-run game. A sad note was brought into our school activities, with the death of Dario Testa, a very popular student and member of the football team. Many movies were sponsored in the Assembly hall by the French club. The most prominent of these was The Phantom of the Opera. These movies were under the direction of Mr. Roy H. Walch. The Argus again showed its prominence as a national school paper by taking third class honors in the Columbia Scholastic Convention. La Page Ouverte helped to keep us informed on various school activities. The Honor Society, a newly organized club, held its first meeting. College Day, sponsored by this group helped many to decide in what school they wished to continue their education. This was well attended by both parents and students. A Vox-Pop program was the highlight of the German club meetings. Where has the year gone? It scarcely seems possible that we are almost Juniors. IQQQ Q-was-Y JUNIOR YEAR At last we reached the halfway mark in our four years of high school. The first two years having been very pleasant and eventful we looked forward to two more such years as upper classmen. The mermen had a very successful season, winning every meet excepft the one with Hartford. The basketball team experienced a season of successes and defeats, bowing to our oldest rival, Wilby, in both games. The Crosby Golf Club was victorious over both Leavenworth and Wilby. The various clubs had a very active year. The Occupation Club took a trip to the New York World's Fair. The German Club enjoyed a Christmas party at the school cafeteria. A grab bag and movies of a visit to Germany were the high- lights of the program. The Honor Society drew up a constitution which is to be used by future clubs. It also held a College Day program which was attended by many students and parents. K ' Once more the Argus received third class honors at the Columbia Scholastic Convention. This newspaper sponsored a radio program on station, WBRY. The psrogram consisted of Crosby news, Crosby sports, and notes from a Crosby scrap- book. The year over, we looked forward to our one ambition ever since entering high school-the Senior Class. 15440 me-I-as rr SENIOR YEAR As this year draws to a close, we pause to consider the many happy moments that we've spent in that exalted position of seniors. Not only have we found pleasure in our studies but also in the activities of the many and varied clubs that have absorbed our attention. .Those of us who are athletically-minded have fol- lowed with keen interest the record of the various teams. The swimming team fulfilled our highest expectations, losing only one meet to an admittedly superior Hartford team. Coach Manherz's medley relay team of Tom Jackson, Jack Manherz, and Al Shailer broke the world's record in the 300 yard medley relay. The mermen also made a fine showing in the Interscholastic Swimming Meet at Yale. From a financial standpoint the football season was a decided success because of the opening of the new stadium which attracted large paying crowds. Although the team was victorious in many of its games the season drew to a disappointing climax when in the traditional Thanksgiving Day game Crosby and Wilby were tied at 15-13. Although the basketball team suffered many defeats, it did split the two games with Wilby. There are so many clubs in Crosby that to give an account of each one would be impossible in such a limited space. The Art Club bought a very lovely oil painting for the school. The Rifle Club had a fairly successful season while the Argus again took the third place in the Convention held in New York. A more recently organized Crosby Club, the Radio Club, had a program called Young America Thinks on WBRY every week. And so it is with feelings of mingled regret and anticipation that we leave the familiar rooms and corridors of Old Ivy, regret at having to part with teachers and old friends, anticipation as to what the future holds in store for each and every one of us.

It is a question of the fate of the world, today and tomorrow. Let us visualize clearly our part in world affairs. Experience is a harsh and unrelenting teacher. The situation in Europe today proves beyond any shadow of doubt that our participation in the last world war contributed little, if anything, toward the solution of the problems of Europe. I believe that despite anything we can do, the wrangle over territorial boundary lines and the balance of power in Europe will continue to shift in blood and smoke until Europe itself finds its own way toward amity and peace. I believe that the greatest contribution we, as a N240 Q.-D, -safe-Q.-Y nation can make, toward world peace and stability is the preservation of our own democracy, undiluted by the ravages of war, freely and efficiently functioning, and holding steadily aloft the lamp of freedom, and the light of liberty. The government of the United States has no political involvements in Europe. Yet in our own right, we recognize our responsibilities as part of a world of nei hbors. We in the Americas are no lon er a far-awa continent. S 8 Y There has never been a period in our history when we have had both the opportunity and willingness to serve mankind as at present. Our forefathers knew that no government could make its citizens equally rich or successful any more than it could endow them with equal physical or intellectual gifts, but the equal dignity of men, and the equal right to self-fulfillmentg these it was the duty of their government to preserve. The opportunity for the American citizen to rise as high as he is fairly able, which has made America the mecca of the oppressed of other lands, is the right of every man to carve his own destiny. This is the equality and opportunity which made America a symbol of hope to all mankind. I wonder if 194.0 'JAY pr Q-:ae-qv we realize just how much we, as a people mean, not only to ourselves, but to all the world? I wonder if we understand that this government has been the inspira- tion of every enlightened statesman in the world, upon every measure looking to an enlargement of human liberty? Because American democracy places the highest value upon the individual, it requires in return the highest and best in man. It demands that he be capable of that self-government which is self-restraint, that he accord the same justice, respect, and tolerance to others that he asks for himself, that he use his freedom not merely for self-advancement, but for the benefit of his fellow-men. It is a challenge to life of the richest and fullest kind, and to that undaunted spirit which rises above defeat and surges forward to new conquests for all the race. Perhaps, in a cruel world, to stand for kindness, in a warring one, for peace is to achieve more enduringly than by pride, pomp, and the circumstances of war. For in midst of all that fights against it, the idea of peace still lives in the human heart, warmed and kept allame in the surrounding darkness and quenching 1940 Dr QQ-ee-Y winds by just such simple ideas as are expressed in the Golden Rule. There can be no peace until human beings everywhere recognize the rights of others less fortunate than they. Tolerance lies at the bottom of the whole problem. Enduring peace will be found only in the doctrine of live and let live. While tolerance is in ilight, Europe by her recurrent wars, piles stone on stone in building the most shocking monument to intelerance the world has ever known. Now that war has again engulfed the world, I see no hope of a return of peace without a return of tolerance based on the American pattern. The American people, and the western world in general have found the formula for peace. It is built on the sure foundation of tolerance. There can be no peace without it. Today we wait, and watch, and pray for the voice of the new dispensation, which shall rise upon the strength and justice of the old. It has been said so often, and it is everlastingly true that America is the best and last hope of mankindg and, if we should fail, which God forbid, where in all the world may the broken spirit find refuge?

He has always been very busy with many hobbies and enjoys reading and amateur radio work. He also did splendid work on the Crosby radio program. Ted plans to enter Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the fall. WALTER ANTHONY ADOMAITIS November 28, 1919 Football Team German Club Track Team Alpha Hi-Y Wally came to Crosby from Barnard destined to become one of Crosby's foremost athletes. For four years he has been a standout on the football team, both on the line and in the backfield. Walt has also starred on the track team. For diversion he likes checkers, classical music and walking in the woods. Wally plans to enter either Holy Cross or the University of Miami, where he will no doubt con- tinue his athletic activities. GRACE LOUISE AHEARN March 29, 1923 Argus Spanish Club Treas., Home Economics Club After graduating from Driggs Grammar School, Grace entered Crosby where her sunny disposition has helped make Old Ivy's halls less dreary. Grace follows the Ahearn tradition in that she is an excel- lent swimmer. Perhaps her active interest in the Home Economics Club has influenced ber in her choice of a career for she intends to major in home economics at St. Joseph's College. PETER ALBERT December 12, 1922 Band Driggs Grammar School sent Pete to Crosby and he is one of the most affable members of our senior class. Pete likes to play the trumpet and for three years has been a member of the Crosby band. He also enjoys dancing, especially the polka. All sports interest Pete, particularly baseball. f v.

Although Olga loves music and has partici- pated in many musical activities, her future plans are not to be carried on in this field. Next fall she will again come back to Crosby to study science so that she may enter a training school for nurses in 1941. ALCOTT R. ASHBORN February 19, 1922 After attending Hopeville, and Sprague Grammar Schools in Waterbury and Baldwin Grammar School in Watertown, Al finally graduated from South School in Oakville. His interest in aeronautics takes up so much of his time he has found no time for Crosby clubs. Al is planning to study for an aero- nautical engineer's degree. MARCEA B. ASHBORN july 2, 1922 German Club Marcea came to us from Webster School with a gra- cious and friendly manner. Swimming and crochet- ing are among her favorite pastimes. She intends to enter Westbrook junior College where she will major in medical laboratory technique. We know her pleasing personality will help Marcea toward success. ARTHUR BAKER, III April 29, 1923 Secy., Rifle Club German Club Art came to Crosby from Reidville Grammar School. Despite his reticent air he has made many friends and an impressive record while here, being one of the best shots in the Rifle Club.

P. Manherz faced a tough rebuilding job when baseball time rolled around. His task was somewhat lessened, however, by the fact that the '59 infield returned intact and that Captain Joe Margolis was back again to head the backstopping department. Frank Sugrue, the sole mound veteran from last year, was counted on to form the nucleus of the hurling staff and be one of the starting hurlers. A freshman sensation by the name of johnny Goldson also shoved himself into a starting job with a fine display of speed which was the rave of the early season practice. The other two positions on the slab staff went to Herb Darling and Fred Staudt, a pair of hard-working seniors. Crosby got away to a poor start losing the first three games of the season, mostly because of weak hitting and spotty pitching. The Ivy crew found its Col- lective batting eye in its fourth outing, however, burying Wilby' 12-6, on the strength of a cannonading attack that produced 15 hits good for 24 total bases. The veteran infield combination of Johnny Lynch, joe Hannon, Art Fisher, and Johnny Nowacki, played great defensive ball in these games. Lynch at third base was particularly outstanding, handling 15 chances without an error. Yet, the only source of offensive power has come from the slugging outfield trio of George Holmes, Francis McCleary and Bill Goodale. McCleary and Holmes led the bombardment against the Wildcats with a home run apiece. Speedy little Goodale has been hitting better than ever this year, while his center-fielding has remained superb. Captain Margolis missed several of the earlier games because of illness, but sophomore Bill Bender performed quite capably in big Joe's absence. With most of the season yet to be played, Crosby, despite its lowly position due to the slow start, cast hopeful glances at the higher rungs of the league ladder after its encouraging display against Wilby.

Vic Verbyla, appeared to be the outstanding team in the city and possibly the best in the state, but the squad failed to live up to advance promise. Beaten in eleven of their seventeen games, the Blue and White season cannot be classed as a successful one. Coach Schofield's men started the campiaign strongly by defeating New Britain, Leavenworth and the Alumni in succession. Then a sharpshooting band of Ansonians broke the string by defeating the Blue in a close battle, 32-29. After returning to the win column with a 25-20 victory over Warren Hard- ing, the Ivy Eve showed a decided reversal of form losing to Torrington, Wilby, Naugatuck, Warren Harding, Ansonia and Hillhouse in succession. The Blue array snapped out of its slump temporarily by downing Torrington's big Red team, in a return game, 45-58, but was defeated by Naugatuck 59-40. At this point, Crosby's team gave their supporters something to cheer about with a sudden display of fine team work and good shooting. Led by Capt. Vic Verbyla the Ivy hoopmen defeated Wilby, 35-31, with a sensational second half comeback. The victory was one of the few bright spots of the year. The season was finished by dropping games to Norwich, Leavenworth and New Britain. Verbyla, showing stern leadership and remarkable shooting, closed his brilliant athletic career for Crosby, by once more winning the city scoring crown. Bob Boland Red Brickel and johnny Nowacki were other members of the squad who performed creditably for the team as did Al Monti, and sophomore Art Fisher, diminutive sharp-shooting forward. joe Hannon was rewarded for his consistent playing throughout the season by being elected captain for the 1940-41 season by his teammates.

Despite this not too imposing record, the squad was powerful fundamentally, for only one team of all the eight, Central, could outgain the Blue eleven from scrimmage. Yet the power-laden aggregation was inconsistent, showing champion- ship form one game, but being unable to unharness its great potemtial strength the next. After joining with Wilby and Leavenworth to lose to St. john's Prep of New York in the gala football inaugural at the new stadium, the Schofield- coached team met up with Ike Kern's Norwalk eleven the following week in its own opener. Though held to a 6-6 tie the Blue outplayed the downstaters, piling up eight first downs to their opponent's three. After gaining their second successive tie, a bitter but uneventful scoreless tussle with Torrington, the Ivy' crew met up with Central High of Bridgeport, the team later to win the state championship. The struggle between the two titans was a great one, with the score standing 7-7 at the end of the half. But the 200 pound Central eleven wore down the outmanned Blue squad as the game progressed, and in the last period the Bridge- porter's juggernaut rolled across the tired Ivy team for two touchdowns and a 19-7 Win. . But the hard driving Blues led by joe Margolis and Captain Bill Mancini went on a spree, copuping their only victories of the season, against Branford, Leavenworth, and Naugatuck, interspersed however, with a 13-7 loss to Derby. Crosby approached the Thanksgiving Day game as prohibitive favorites. But, before an overflowing crowd of 10,000 on a fine holiday morn, an upstart Wilby underdog, playing inspired football, brought an otherwise good season for Old Ivy to a disappointing climax, by gaining a 13-15 tie. In recognition of their outstanding play all season six Crosbyites, Captain Mancini, joe Margolis, Frank Roberts, Otto Kanny, Tommy Cruess, and Frank Sugrue were cited for all-city honors. Besides this group, others aiding the cause nobly throughout the season included, Bob Boland, Walt Adomaitis, George Goggins, Dave Holmes, George Brown, and Don Cruess. E1 ..., .. .u IF l Ll.

GOLF CLUB Mary Bolan Polly Fleming Arthur Baron Mary jane Hayes Laurence Shea Frank Keliher Joseph Delaney Q, -ae -Y GOLF CLUB The Crosby Golf Club was organized in 1940 for the third consecutive year owing to the enthusiasm on the Part of the students, and the continued interest of faculty advisor, William K. Schofield. The entire club cooperated to make a par- ticularly active and enjoyable season. Oliicers elected at the first meeting were: President ..... Henry Blanslield Vice-President . Mary Jane Hayes Secretary W . Robert Boucher Treasurer . . . Frank Keliher The four man team, chosen by competition at the beginning of the season, played home and home matches with Hamden, Lewis QSouthingtonj, and Leaven- worth High Schools. All the members of the Club participated in a Kicker's Hand- icap Tournament which appealed to the girl as well as the boy players. The golf club, since its revival three years ago, has become one of the fastest growing sports ,activities in Crosby and it is hoped that the great amount of in- terest shown this year will continue, so that the club may take its place as a per- manent Crosby organization.

RIDING CLUB The Club has completed its most active year since the organization was begun three years ago. Althongh one of the smallest groups in Crosby, it rernains one of the liveliest.

Practice was held twice a week at the armory and the club was divided into three teams which are among the best equipped in the state. The first team consisted of Captain Bill Kelly, Clarke Cady, Art Baker, Ted Meyer, and Bob Travers. Following last year's policy, the club was open to girls. The bi-weekly matches were shot and the scores compared in Washington, D. C. with the records of all the high schools and prep school teams in the country. Crosby, usually right on top, was somewhat lower on the list this year. However, Crosby regained its prestige at the State rifle match held at the Winchester range in New Haven. With over one hundred teams competing Old Ivy took ninth place. The last match shot was for the Crosby Club Championship. Clarke Cady and Ed Orantas tied for top honors. The following were the oliicers of the squad: Coach ....... William B. Pape Captain . . . William Kelly Secretary-Treasurer - Arthur Baker, III. Manager . . .

P. Manherz and his son Captain jack-had a successful season winning eight out of nine league meets and finishing runner-up to Hartford Public in the state race. The highlight of the season was the breaking of the National Interscholastic record for the 300 yard medley relay by an Ivy team consisting of Tom jackson, Jack Manherz and Al Shailer. jackson and Manherz also combined with Bill Stillwell to win the 300 yard medley relay at the Yale Carnival. The Crosby squad made a remarkable showing at the annual C. I. A. C. meet held at Yale. Captain Jack Manherz concluded an undefeated season in the 100 yard breaststroke by winning his specialty. Tom jackson and the record-breaking relay team also copped first places in this meet. Other medal winners were Crane Huber and jack Plummer. With such dependable performers as Jack Manherz, Tom Jackson, Al Shailer and Crane Huber as well as Bill Kurtz, Dick Fiore due to be lost by graduation, next year's squad will be hard hit. However, with several promising performers, including co-captains-elect jack Plummer and Bob Wakeley and Dom Spallone returning, Coach jack Manherz will have the nucleus of another standout team.

Coach jeff Boland began the slow process of molding a team of promising but inexperienced newcomers around the only returning lettermen, Captain Bill Brickel, Vic Verbyla, and Bill Mancini. Although severely handicapped by the backward spring weather, the squad managed to round into tip-top shape for the opening meet against Warren Harding at Bridgeport. The Bolandmen put on a surprising display of speed to crush their opponents under a 64-31 score. Bristol was next to fall before the Ivy crew, bowing SOM-44W in the first home meet, held at the Municipal Stadium. just when another undefeated season seemed quite possible, a powerful Hartford aggregation shattered these hopes by burying Crosby under a 70-34 deluge. In these meets the veterans Mancini, and Verbyla starred in the field events with Captain Brickel winning several first places in the sprints and the broad jump. Coach Boland also uncovered several speedy new performers, the most out- standing of whom were George Brown and Ray Fenn, a pair of dash men, and Werner Larson, a miler. The Ivy trackmen returned to their winning ways by routing Torrington 68- 36, and turned to the few remaining meets on the schedule, confident of taking them all and making the season a decidedly successful one. i940 4. f E52 Q .

Helen Savage The Crosby Girls' Athletic Association has just completed a very successful year under the capable supervision of Miss Florence Turnbull. The season opened with hit-pin soccer, which was followed by the ever- popular game of basketball. In the spring, volleyball was played, and the season was finished with tennis. Beside the regular games many outside activities were enjoyed. Seven girls Went to Plainville for a basketball game, and later in the season, the return visit was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Another group attended a play-day at Meriden. During the year the gym club sponsored a series of three dances in the gym, which were largely attended by Crosby students. These dances were a success and undoubtedly more will be given by the club in the future. IQAQ ' K , I F E M 'fi A ' H A , :.,4 A - l 'X i Z f I -. , , i XX 1.1 I A. R. C.

Many of the members had the privilege of attending a playday at Bristol High School, where all sorts of games and races were enjoyed. The Bristol girls later paid a return visit at the Crosby pool.

The editorial department was ably conducted by Dorothy Butler, assisted by Corrine Hennick. Much credit is due Adla Shaker, Marion Glickman, janet Elwin and Richard Ozaroff for their liberal assistance. Under the leadership of Muriel Berment, editor-in-chief, and Frank Keliher, sports editor, news of school events were capably directed. David Gibson also showed much ability on the sports staff. Co-business managers, Helen Bear and Isabel Snowman deserve all the praise for making the Argus financially sound. Eight staff members accompanied by Mr. McCarthy, attended the sixteenth annual Columbia Scholastic Press convention held at Columbia University in New York City. For the sixth consecutive year third place rating was awarded the school publication. On one of the rainiest days, April 21, staff members went to Bridgeport to attend the Connecticut Scholastic press convention at Central High. This year the Argus changed to a local printer because it was more convenient dealing with a city concern. The paper was dressed up now and then by pictures concerning school activ- ities submitted by Norman Clarke, and clever cartoons drawn by Sam Valvano. !Q4Q V, ... ,S .'

It is gratifying to note the increasing interest Crosby students have taken in drawing and design. The Crosby Art Club, under the direction of Miss Edith Patten, has com- pleted another: year of art study and painting. The main project of the club this year was oil painting. Scenes in oil and water colors, and pencil, charcoal, and pastel drawings made up the yearly exhibit, which was held in the art room early in June. The club also made a gift to the school of an original landscape painted in oil. The officers for the past year were as follows: President ...... Alice Hickox Vice-President .

Kenneth Smith Chairman of Play-Reading Committee Mary Raeburn During the next several weeks there followed a discussion among the mem- bers as to just what kind of play should be produced for their mid-year presenta- tion. After Miss MacDonnell had suggested one-act plays and all types of three act plays, she finally suggested the possibility of playing Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. The members of the club talked the various ideas over and finally decided on the Bard of Avon's comedy. As soon as school opened after the Christmas vacation, rehearsals started and the play was produced on February 9, in the Assembly Hall. Although both the actors and Miss MacDonnell worked under handicaps the play was declared by some of the Crosby teachers to be the best ever done. The players were headed by Cynthia Rittenband, as Kathrina, and by Ridgway Shinn, as Petruchio. Both of the leading parts were done with skill and the part of Grumio, done by Rose De Leon showed her ability to be a comedian. Each subordinate part was portrayed with ability. Much of the credit for this fine production should go to Miss MacDonnell who skillfully directed the play. The June play, What a Life also proved to be a very fine presentation with the actors playing their parts exceptionally well. This successful production served as an appropriate ending to a very full and enjoyable dramatics season. 3 GAG I , , - . 1 ln J sy , C 5 .1 Pauline Stoll Lois Holcomb Judith Konner Esther Dibner Mildred Wylie Lois Bergen Lillian Solomon Marion Risik Louise Lefevre Marian McNulty Mary Raeburn Betty Woodard Jessie Merrilees Muriel Berment Lila Nathanson Ruth Kaufman Francis Giaquinto Jeanne Feinn Harold Stein Helen Mitchell FRENCH CLUB Mae Guiiie Mary Bolan Marion Glickman Corinne Thomas Esther Roossin Alice Hickox Cynthia Rittenband Ruth Kastleman Helen Ritucci Arthur Rabinowitz Lorraine WOIH Edna Millerick Barbara Cookson Helen Bear Joseph Santalucia Ridgway Shinn George Montagno Kenneth Smith Joseph Swirsky Jack Kampner L-D Que re-Y FRENCH CLUB President .

As a slight token of their appreciation of her untiring effort in past years, Miss Traurig was presented a book. At Christmas time the French Club was host to all theother language clubs at a party in the Assembly Hall, where a songfest was held. The presents from the grab-bag were given to the Lincoln House. An outstanding feature of the programs this year was the presentation of several plays, L'Initiation, La Surprise d'Isadore, and L'Avocat Patelinf' Esther Roossin, Bertha Webb, Jeanne Feinn, and Lois Greenberg rendered several vocal selections. The pianists were Francis Giaquinto, Lillian Solomon, Donald Weisman and Ridgway Shinn. One of the more cultural meetings of the year was the program at which MoliEre's life and works were reviewed. Last but not least were the humorous monologues and poems which Mary Alice Stokes recited. Every- one enjoyed these immensely, as was evidenced by the response from the appreciative audience. As a fitting climax to a successful season the club held their banquet at the Kopper Kettle on May 16, where movies, singing, and dancing completed the pro- gram. 19455 -, . ,T V N 4 1 x 'ww ' ,..f,,..,- K Vigil - v --' r GERMAN CLUB Doris Guhring Frederick Seidel Evelyn Molzon Rose De Leon Arthur Baron Eugene Brenneis George Holzer Clifford German Q ,fl ffx-e er l ' ff I Y!!

Feeney, faculty advisor, is completing its fourth success- ful year. With Alice Hickox and Mae Guiie as editor-in-chief and assistant editor, and Joseph Swirsky and Lorraine Wfolff as Business Managers, it has maintained its popularity and continued to improve. Besides the regular school sale, the paper has a mailing list including college departments where there are Crosby graduates. In turn, it has been praised by col- lege instructors and editors of French language newspapers. Among the special attractions are a well-informed gossip column which has spilled many a bean, interesting editorials and sports features and various humor- ous articles. Another feature has been cartoons of familiar Crosby subjects With present standards and traditions as guides, next year's staff headed by Jane Donavan hopes to continue as successfully.

Sherman Smith, the Math Club has just completed another active and enjoyable year. One of Crosby's most valuable clubs, it does a great deal in preparing students for their college mathematics by presenting a new side of the subject and eliminating the drudgery. The club pro- vides its members with fun and entertainment and at the same time contributes to their knowledge and interest in mathematics. It is hoped that the club will have as much success in the future as it has had this year. Q t The oliicers elected for this year were: President ....

Under the di- rection of Miss Alice Gibson, supervisor of music in the high schools, this club has helped Crosbyites to understand the whys and wherefores of classical compositions. The members of the club attended various concerts throughout the year and in this way they were able to tie up what they had learned at meetings with actual experiences. It is hoped that the class of '40 has left something to future Crosby- ites inthe formation of the Music Appreciation Club. 1 Q 40 4, , i' M 5'-FT. t '--wen' ff' .43 ' ... v w w , v .ww 'sf'-1'-' Q 252.

Walch, during which its members have increased their knowledge of various industries and vocations. . ' Perhaps the most enjoyable of the many trips taken, was that to the Peabody Museum where all the interesting collections were a source of great enjoyment. The club also visited the New Departure Factory in Bristol and learned much about the making of ball-bearings. Although the primary purpose of the club is to acquaint its members with diiferent vocations, it also provided them entertainment when they saw the Yale- Brown football game. The club also visited the Telephone Company, the Western Union and Reymond's vBakery. On two occasions instead of going traveling, the members heard informative talks. One was by Mr. Lyttle, who with an array of guns and handcuffs, pointed out the high-spots in police work. The subject of cartooning, which is daily growing more important in newspaper work, was discussed by the other speaker, Mr. Mor- tlnson. r N940 5' rg! mx 5,+g4.l:,x , ff' faug A rwsrf.: M 'lr ?5'EL-'J 'fi ,.f,. .

Crosby supplies practic- ally all of the members enrolled in this organization, which has grown rapidly from its membership of 9 students, 22 years ago. This year, as usual, the Orchestra's Annual Concert was one of the greatest highlights and successes of the school season. Outstanding among the selections rendered in the Wilby Auditorium was Haydn's Second Symphony, which brought the orchestra acclaim by an appreciative audience. Also on the program were such works as Bach's Arioso, Overtures to Carmen by Bizet, Martha by F. Von Flotow, and Ethiopian Dance by Delibes. In accordance with the orchestra's custom to play annually one of Carl Maria Von Weber's works, the Overture to the opera Der Freischutz was presented. The entire program was presented in symphonic style to a large audience who helped to make the per- formance a financial success. The soloist with the Orchestra was Mr. Berman, New Haven violinist who played a Handel Concerto with the string sections. Mr. Floyd Evans, was rewarded for the great deal of time and energy that he devoted to coaching this organization by the splendid showing that the players made at the concert. The ofiicers of the organization included: President ..... Charles Munson Vice-President Michael Folomes Secretary .

Its formation was suggested to the students of the three city high schools, but practically all of those who responded were Crosbyites. For this reason, and because the club faculty advisor, Miss Haugh, is a member of the Crosby faculty, the group is considered as one of Old Ivy's organizations. The pgurpose of the Radio Club is to acquaint those high school boys and girls who are interested in a radio career with the various phases and functions of radio. In keeping with its purpose, the programs of the weekly meetings conducted by Mr. Henry have consisted of discussions about radio dramatics, radio advertising, facsimile, microphone technique, and other pertinent subjects. c For practical microphone experience, all of the members, at one time or an- other, appeared on the weekly radio ptrogram, Young America Thinks. While on an excursion to New York the group visited the studios of the National Broadcasting Company in order to study the functions of a large broad- casting company.

During the year an information list on the geography and business was won by George Webster, and the boys won A Battle of the Sexes conducted by Ardith Ferris and Martha Bowman. At other meetings, spelling bees, games and book reports were enjoyed. Richard Nave, Matt Bergin, and George Webster did very well in an original play written by Stanley Hayden who also won the annual Cervantes Contest sponsored by El Institute de Las Espanas.

Although made up of members from the three local high schools, Crosby has furnished the nucleus of this group for some length of time. Once again, the Band held bi-weekly rehearsals for the study of school songs and intricate marching formations for their performance at the football games in the new Municiptal Stadium. Their professional marching appearance combined with that of the Naugatuck Band presented a beautiful spectacle at the Crosby- Naugy games. This year's new uniforms were quite different from those of preceding years. The proceeds from the annual concert were directed toward the payment of these smart looking costumes. The year was completed with a concert in the Wilby Auditorium in March. Among the highlights of the program were: Tschaikowsky's Sleeping Beauty Waltz, Barcarolle, from Tales of Hoffman by Offenbach, Finlandia, Si- belius' beautiful selection, Chimes of Normandy by Planquet, --and several marches and school songs. A trumpet solo of Lieberstraum was rendered by Charles Munson, and a Concertino for clarinet solo was played by Ralph Scozzafava. This year's soloist was Blanche Archambault, coloratura soprano, whose lovely voice was much enjoyed in an aria from Manon, by Massenet. In May the Band journeyed to the New York World's Fair where they prar- ticipated in a Waterbury Day. The invitation had been extended to this organ- ization by the Fair oliicials. The Band boasts of approximately 53 members, including six color bearers. All of the oilicers are Crosby students. Drum Major . . Francis Brice Captain .
