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.
