I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the peopleg whose just powers are derived from the consent of the overnedg a democra in a re ublic, a soverei n nation of 8 CY P 8 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.-Willianz 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 educationg-in everything that fosters culture, progress, and good-will among men. 3. I believe in the City of Waterbury, because its government, its lead- ing 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 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, En- lightened 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.

Although we walked into Crosby enthusiastically, we walked in on guard, awaiting an upper classmen to jump out at us from behind the formidable looking chained doors. We feared that we would not know where the assembly hall was and some villain of an upper classman would lead us astray. The next day we received a little more of what we expected. They awaited us at the foot of the stairs looking us over carefully and smiling in- dulgently at the poor freshmenf' The best any freshman could do was try to look as if he didn't mind in the least. We set out to make ourselves famous actors when we joined the Fresh- man Dramatic Club, Props and Paintsf, That year the club presented a ma- rionette show and a comedy play. We began to realize that Crosby was a regular little community when we first received the Argus. Why, that year, even the freshmen had their own column entitled Frosh Briefs. We were pleased when, at the first athletic assembly, we were told that we cheered louder and better than any other class. We put our cheering to good use at the annual Turkey Day Game when Crosby came out with a score- less tie. The swimming squad had a very good year, winning nine out of eleven meets. The baseball team was fortunate in having Pinky Woods that year. They defeated Wilby twice and Woods pitched a no-hit, no-run game. The Argus also had a good year since it won third place in the Columbia Scholastic Convention, which showed its prominence as a National School paper. The Honor Society, a newly organized group, presented College Day. This helped many to decide in which school to continue their education. After we no longer had the worry of final exams, we had time to realize happily that we had gained our place in the upper realm of Crosby. SOPHOMORE YEAR The tables had turned, we stood at the foot of the stairs waiting to see the freshmen come down for cafeteria. It was our turn to smile indulgently at the new class. A radio club was organized this year and the members presented a Crosby News program. The students with the aid of several members of the faculty, both wrote and announced the school news over station WBRY. This program was sponsored by the Argus, which once again won third honors at the Columbia Scholastic Convention. The mermen had the most successful season of any athletic organiza- tion in Crosby, winning every meet except the one with Hartford, The Crosby Golf Team also had a successful season winning over both Wilby and Leaven- worth. The various Clubs spent an active year. The Honor Society held a College Day program which was attended by many students and their parents. It also drew up a constitution which is to be used by the future societies. 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 highlights of the program. We were nearing the halfway mark of our careers at Crosby and we be- gan to realize how quickly the time passed in High School, JUNIOR YEAR Only one more year to go and we would reach our ultimate goal, Only one more year and we would be privileged seniors. Our attention turned to athletics before long since this year, the new Stadium was to be used for games. The Thanksgiving Day game closed with Crosby and Wilby tied at 13-13. Although the basketball team suffered many defeats, it did split two games with Wilby. Again the swimming team lost only one meet to the superior Hartford team. Coach Manherz's medley relay team of Tom jackson, Jack Manherz, and Al Shailer broke the world's record in the 500-yard medley relay. The mermen also made a fine showing in the Inter-scholastic Swimming Meet at Yale. This year the Crosby News Program was discontinued and a new Radio Club was formed, This new organization presented a program called, Young America Thinks every week, on WBRY. The Art Club bought a fine oil painting for the school. The RiHe Club also had a successful year, while the Argus retained third place honors in the National Convention held in New York. It seemed as though our Senior year had literally crept up on us, for we were members of the Senior Class at last. SENIOR YEAR We have always looked forward to vacations with anticipation, but this coming vacation is looked forward to with as much regret by Seniors. It means an end to our happy years at Crosby, an end to something that has been a vital part of us for four years. As we look over the past year we remember that this season the Crosby mermen tied for first honors in the state with the Hartford team, which is no longer superior to the Crosby squad. The Argus and La Page Ouverte, Crosby lirench Paper, both won na- tional honors in the Columbia Scholastic Convention this year. The Argus broke its third place rating record by receiving second place honors. Although this was the hrst year the French paper was represented at the Columbia Scholastic Convention, they received third place rating. A hard fought game took place at the Stadium, Thanksgiving Day, when Crosby, the underdog team, bowed to Vifilby with a score of 6-0. Crosby had one of its finest golf teams this year while the rifle team won thirteenth place in the state. The clubs were active as usual, carrying out the plans of previous years. The Honor Society introduced new ideas which they hope will be carried out by the Society in the future. Although we may look into the future with some anticipation, we hate to break away from the one thing that has consumed our energy for four years. Yes, we even envy the incoming freshmen-in a way.

TREE ORATION THE NECESSITY FOR CONSERVATION OF OUR NATIONAL RESOURCES It has always been a fact that a nations wealth and power is based on its natural resources, found in various forms, minerals, land, water-power, and forests are examples. We, in the United States are particularly blessed by an abundance of all these that I have mentioned. However, since so much of our wealth lies in these possessions, it is our duty to protect and safeguard them. Our duty will become even greater if the economic theories of the Axis ever become general. It has become clear that if the '1Axisl' succeeds in win- ning this war, the United States will be forced to depend on its own resources almost entirely. ln previous years we shainetully wasted our raw materials. No thought was ever given to the possibility that there might be a shortage in vital materials. During the last decade, however, is seems that the government has realized this fact, and has taken steps to secure our natural wealth Take our forests for example, let us see just what has been done to prevent their further disappearance. All over the country, thousands of C. C. C. camps have been established in order to improve the condition of our forests. The boys from these camps have cleared out unnumbered fire-hazards, built all sorts of hte-lighting aids, and, in addition, have planted many urfzz' trees. These newly planted trees help in two waysg they not only furnish a future source of lumber. but also they prevent soil errosion and make excellent water sheds. The C. C. C. besides their work in the forests have performed notable service during emer- gencies-such as Hoods and droughts. In order to preserve our forests, the government as well as the states have set aside large tracts of land in what we know as National and State forests. In these forests, new and old trees are allowed to grow unmolested. It is forbidden by law to harm anything in these preserves. The Ranger Service has done an excellent job in reporting fires in these areas. Systematic reports have kept disastrous fires at a minimum. lt is these precautions that are allow- ing us to regrow the vast woodlands that once were the pride of our country. It is necessary that we, fyou and lj take an interest in the subject of con- servation in all its many vital aspects. We can not only prevent fires by caution, but by interest in the subject itself. We can encourage more extensive work such as soil erosion projects, and safeguarding land for agricultural needs. This occasion offers an opportunity to bring to mind these very necessary considerations, It is a good plan to think over once in a while just what small part we can do to help, especially in times of such strife as is in the world today. By taking an active interest in encouraging state and national participation in conserving our great natural wealth. We are unquestionably showing the kind of spirit that marks all good Americans, Conservation is a vital need. As good citizens it demands our thoughtful attention. Wfhen next the subject comes up, let's show our attitude, We believe in America, we want first of all to preserve it. Today we, the class of 1941 dedicate this tree, By this ceremony we indicate our love for the beauty of nature, and express our thankfulness for its bounty. Let us then, mindful of this wealth, be ready to guard and protect it. This is our tree-may it always be a symbol of our gratitude that we were born in a country where there is a love of trees, and still time to express that love.

P. Manherz had to scout around for new talent. Crosby was faced not only with the problem of infielders and outfielders, but with pitchers since the freshman sensation, johnny Goldson, left school. On the mound we found such hopefuls as Bernie Shembriskis, Karvelis, Cavanaugh, and Kolesnilc. The only veterans returning from last year are Bender, Kobrin, and Fisher in the infield and Capt. Bud Goodale to his post in center field. Crosby got away to a poor start, losing its first four Valley League games. These losses may be attributed to the inexperience of the new team. Three newcomers, McGuire, Spann, D'Agostino, take turns in holding down first base. At shortstop, we find another new name, joe Smith and in outfield We find Goncalves and Shembriskis. Witll such a group and with more experience, we can be sure of a powerful team in the future. BASKETBALL TEAM Joe Harmon jim Hanrahan Francis Sugruc Andy Lawlor Bill Mattei BASKETBALL Crosby's 1940 quintet, one of the youngest in Old Ivy's history, started the season by defeating Hartford High in a hard fought game at Hartford. The Blue team emerged again victorious from the annual alumni game which served to introduce the new edition of Crosby basketball players to the public. Next in order to succumb to Capt. joe Hannon's quintet were Ansonia, Hartford, Meriden, Harding, and Norwich. Strangely enough Coach Scho- field's team played as good basketball on strange courts as they did on their home field, coming from behind more than once to emerge victorious. The youth of the squad is attested by the fact that only three will be lost by graduation, namely: Capt. joseph Hannon, Frank Sugrue, and james Hanra- han. Whether playing on their home floor or on strange court the Crosby players were constant favorites with the spectators. Their aggressiveness and clean brand of basketball always assured the crowd of an action-packed game. The bleachers were always filled until the final gun, many a game having been won or lost in the closing seconds, Constantly sparking the team with their brilliant shooting and floor play were Capt. joe Hannon and Art Fisher who held forward posts. Others who could be depended on in the tight spots were jim Hanrahan, Albie Kelly, Bobby Reynolds, Belanger, Fasanelli. Sugrue and Boucher played stellar floor games in the back court, more than once breaking up a scoring bid by the opposition. The blue basketeers wound up the season by splitting with Wilby and defeating Leavenworth twice to tie for the city championship with the former, Co-Captains elect for 1941-42 are Albie Kelly and Art Fisher. Norman McNerney Francis Sugrue Raymond Walch Andrew Ciminera Jerome Nadel Bill Vassalo FOOTBALL TEAM Bill Mattei john Kenney Edward Farrington Bill Margolis Bill Katzing Vincent Bredice Roland Barone FOOTBALL Although statistics of its grid season were rather unimpressive, the 1940 football team played a fine brand of ball and but for the stiff opposition pro- vided for it by a couple of the best teams in the state, a few misplays and bad breaks, the Blue and Wlmite would have presented a more impressive picture for the season. In the initial battle Crosby hopped off to a good start by downing Ike Kern's Norwalk High gridsters, 6-0, but had just recovered from the taste of victory when they received a 6-0 setback at the hands of Torrington. The Q'Big Red, by the way, went on to qualify as one of the outstanding teams in the state. The Old Ivy eleven next encountered a strong team in Bridgeport Central. Played on enemy soil, the game resulted in a 6-6 tie, bad luck preventing a Blue victory. Both this game and the Torrington game were well played on both sides, with the hand of Lady Luck unfortunately patting Crosby's oppo- nents on the back more than it helped the Blue. The Leavenworth game almost produced a mass suicide. Witlu the game seemingly won at the half, as Crosby left the field in extremely high spirits, Lady Luck again stepped in. A blocked kick late in the game gave the Tigers a safety and shortly afterwards Lazesky broke through the Blue line for a sizeable gain. From the shadow of the goal posts the Tech gridders succeeded in scoring some time later, giving Leavenworth her first victory over Crosby in several years of competition. The following week the Blue battled a gargantuan Greenwich team to a scoreless tie, playing the same brand of football which downed Norwalk in the seasonls opener. Aggressive and fast, this game at Norwalk had caused many spectators to proclaim Crosby as possible and likely bidders for the championship. Nevertheless, although driving time after time to the Green- wich goal line, Crosby was beset with hard luck and a crucial fumble or mis- play resulted in her losing the ball time after time, on downs. Next in order came Naugatuck and Derby and hnally the traditional Thanksgiving Day game with Wfilby. Crosby went into the game a distinct underdog and battled the Wildcats up and down the held all morning. Eventually however, came the inevitable l'break and XX'ilby cashed in on a recovered fumble for six points and victory. Six lettermen are returning to help Captain-elect Don Cruess through a most promising 1941 season. GOLF TEAM Henry Blansfleld GOLF TEAM Under the diligent guidance of Captain Bob Boucher the Golf Team was formed early this year. The team of Bob Boucher, Bob Young, Rollie Boucher, and Hank Blansfield was selected to represent Crosby. The first scheduled match was against Hamden. Crosby lost after a hard fought battle by a score of 4 to 2. Taft gained a 5 to 5 tie when hard luck stymied the efforts of our men to gain a victory. The first win of the year was scored against Leavenworth by a score of 45 to lk. In quick succession Torrington, Southington, and again Torrington, fell before the sharp shooting of the Boucher Brothers, Robert Young, and Hank Blansfield. The team avenged their earlier defeat by Hamden by defeating this team by a score of SM to ZZ. On june 2nd the golf team is expected to place high in the State Inter-Scholastic Tourney. Bob Boucher was a fine leader and inspired his team mates with his ex- cellent playing. Bob Young always came through in the pinches, while Rollie Boucher served as a consistent point-getter. Hank Blansfleld did an excellent job as anchor man on the team. With Blansfield the only member of the squad leaving, the prospects of the team look very bright for next year. MH RIDING CLUB Marion Bendler Virginia Ncvers Edna George Marie Biancardi Marie Biondi Barbara Van Tassel RIDING CLUB ln all kinds of weather the enthusiastic equestrians of the riding club Could be seen on horseback. Wlien the Hobby Horse Stables moved to Middle- bury, the group went there even though it was necessary to ride out-doors. In fact, riding along snowy trails was found to be more fun than riding indoors. During the year the club went to an indoor polo match and to a horse show. The officers elected were: Pmridwzf - - - - Marie Biondi Ser1'etu1'y - Marion Bendler RIFLE CLUB Ted Meyer Jane Donovan RIFLE CLUB The Crosby Rifle Club, under the direction of Mr. XXfilliam Pape, had a very fine season. This year the club had over fifty regular members. The first event in which the Rifle Team participated was the Annual State Gallery Championship Match. Crosby received thirteenth place in the State. In the N. R. A. bi-weekly matches, Crosby won second place in League C competition. Considering the fact that three members of the first team graduated last year, the team did suprisingly well. The annual club championship match was won by Ted Meyer with his brother, Bob, and Eleanor Snyder as close seconds. The boys and girls on the lirst team were Ted Meyer, Fred Castonguay, George Holm, Bob Traver, and Polly Nevers. This year the officers of the club were Ted Meyer, President, George Holm, Vice-President, and Bob Traver, Secretary and Treasurer.

SWIMMING TEAM This year due to the excellent coaching on the part of O. P. Manherz and the hard working spirit of boys under him. Crosby registered one of the most exciting and surprising victories in many years. This great upset came about after Crosby, facing the ever mighty Hartford Public aggregation of swimmers, came through to win this nerve racking meet by a score of 39-56. This was the first time that any high school team had beaten Hartford in seven years. It so happened that a strong team from Hillhouse of New Ha- ven met the Crosby boys the week before and much to our discomfort beat Crosby in a hard fought battle. However, Hartford had previously beaten Hillhouse in a dual meet. These results threw the State Championship into a three way tie for 1941. Led by Co-Captains jack Plummer and Bob Vifakeley the Blue and Vv'hite splashers took on all other rivals with little trouble and succeeded in beating all the other teams in the league including Meriden, Central, Bassick, Wait- ren Harding, Manchester, Bristol, and XX'est Haven. After their brilliant vic' tory over Hartford, the Crosby tankers made a good showing at the C. I. A. C. Meet at the Yale pool in New Haven. Joe Brown, a fine swimmer and star in the back stroke events received a second place medal for his individual med- ley swim which was his last win under Crosby's colors. Co-Captain Jack Plum- mer finished just behind joe after a hard fought race to receive the third place honors. This yearis squad has shown some very good swimming material which will remain at Crosby to carry on the standards of past teams. Paul Lux, Dom Spallone and McCleary have made excellent showings. The team was well balanced with the support of such swimmers as Fagan, the Frisbie brothers, Bob jackson, Lombard. XVebster, O'Neil, and Holmes. XX ith only Co-Cap- tains Wakeley and Plummer along with joe Brown leaving the squad there are high hopes of even a better season next year. TRACK TEAM jerry Murphy William Blair XVilliam Farrington Joseph Brown Norman McNerney William Mattei TRACK TEAM The outlook for track this spring was not too promising as only two letter- men from 1940 survived the losses due to graduation. George Brown, '42, who was elected captain, and Norman McNerney, '41, were these two. How- ever, it happens that Brown is a one-man track team himself, always good for 20 points. Brown runs the hundred in close to even time, holds the Crosby record of 21.9 for the 220, likewise the Crosby record of 21 ft. 616 in., in the broad jump, and can show excellent performances in the shot put and javelin throw. McNerney is a sure winner every time he runs the quarter. XX'ith only this nucleus to build on, the season has been surprisingly successful for the Boland men. Our first rival, Warrein Harding High, was beaten SUS to 4614. Brown with 21 points, Paul Lux with 10, were high scorers. McNerney captured the 440 and Bill Farrington, '41, anchored the relay team. Torrington was next taken into camp 65-59, and then the previously un- beaten Ansonia team was whipped 76M to 26yS.i Bristol and New Britain are next in order. Little trouble is anticipated from Bristol, but New Britain promises stiff competition. Wfe are also en- tered in the State Championship meet where several of our stars are certain to score. Senior members of the team are: Norman McNerney, Bill Farrington, Bill Mattei, Joe Brown, and jerry Murphy.

Janet Elwin made the front page lively with her teacher and student inter- views while Dick Ozaroff and Sanford Kravetz took charge of the headlines and proof reading of the paper. Much credit is due to department editors, Corrine Hennick, Monroe Rhodes, Ben Bradley, Barbara Feinn, Betty Guhring, Irene Palatine, and John Ensminger, for making the editorial page an entertaining one. The Argus deviated from its conservative routine by sponsoring a Co-ed Fashion Show which was one of the most successful events of the year. Eleven staff members with Mr, McCarthy attended the Columbia Scholas- tic Press Association Convention at New York in March, and the entire staff Went to the Connecticut Scholastic Press Association Convention in Hartford during the fall. ART CLUB Grace George Ada Simonson Marie Logan Elmer Thorpe Ben Bradley Evelyn Denker ART CLUB At the first meeting, under the able leadership of Edith M. Patten, faculty advisor, the Art Club held its annual elections.

Book - ---- Marie Logan Room Comwiffee - - - Edmund Shambaris, jerry Mascoli Although the club began its year with a large number of members, some of the boys accepted jobs and were unable to attend meetings. The Art Club is the only organization that contributed to the National Guard Unit at Camp Blanding, Florida, in the person of Bob Embardo, The members met every second week to enjoy an afternoon of advanced lessons in oil painting. During the year, the club made several trips to the Mattatuck to study the exhibition of many local artists. Grace George, President, was awarded a yearls tuition at the Local Art School by the Junior League. Competition for this scholarship came from local and near-by high schools. A year's subscription to the American Artist was also awarded to Anne Dickinson for being the undergrad who accomplished the most outstanding work during the year. The Mattatuck Historical Society invited all the public schools to exhibit their best work in their gallery in May. The Art department made its contri- bution in oils, water-colors, show-card colors, ink, and pencil drawings, These pictures were exhibited in Crosby later. At the end of the year, the club voted on having two clubs for 1941-1942. One, the regular Art Club, will be composed of juniors and Seniors only. The second organization, known as the Sketch Clubf' will consist entirely of sophomores. This junior club was started because of the unusually large num- ber of talented students in the present freshman class, The club also voted in the new members of both clubs. The year closed with the usual picnic. BAND Ben Bradley Donald Weisman Ray Walclm Dick Spellman Evelyn Lusher Carl Zooleck William Macchia Dan Gentile BAND The Inter-High School Band consisting of sixty members had one of its most successful seasons this year. Headed by Floyd C, Evans, music direc- tor, and the capable officers, the band started its season by appearing at the local high schools' football games, showing new formations. After the foot- ball season, the band immediately began rehearsing bi-weekly for its annual concert which was held early in February, Such well-known selections as the Turnadot Overture by Vincenz Lachner, Skaters XValtz by Waldteufel, Turkish Patrol by Michaelis, American Patrol by Meacham. and The Three Bearsl' by Long, as a novelty number, were on the program. Letters were awarded to those members who had completed two or more years' work in the band. The proceeds from the concert enabled the members of the band to take a trip to New York to see the opera.

During the earlier part of the season, many members of Crosby's team participated in a state wide tournament under the sponsor- ship of the Y. M. C. A., and emerged as the fourth ranking team. Later in both the city's A and B tournaments several of Old Ivyls players distin- guished themselves. Ray XXf'alch matched his skill with the A players while Ray Tierney and Sherman Schiller ended the B matches as co-champions. In the latter part of the year, our team played several other matches. A victory was scored over both Deep River and Hartford while we were fated to both a loss and a draw from Bassick High in Bridgeport. At a match at the Y. M. C. A. both Ray Vifalch and Sherman Schiller were two of the four victors over a professional player who took on 26 of the cityls best players. During this year, after the arrangements had been made by our faculty advisor, Mr, Roy H. Vifalch, the team held its meeting at a room in the Y, instead of in the library. This was a great advantage for Crosby's chess fans because they were free to go to this Y room at any time.

This year the club, under Miss Dorothy Crawford, faculty advisor, again acted as a host to the other language clubs at a Christmas party held in the school cafeteria. The main feature of this program was Silent Nightf' sung by all the clubs simultaneously in the various languages, and then in English. As usual the Lincoln House was given the presents from the grab bag. The two outstanding plays of the year were r'Nicette and jean D'Arc. Evelyn Blake, Shirley Cole, Lois Greenberg, Charles Klampkin, Eleanor Kau- gelis, Jerry Nadel, and joan Vanasse took part in the latter, while Evelyn Blake, Ben Bradley, jerry Nadel, and Richard Traurig were actors in the former play. Mary Alice Stokes directed both plays during the absence of Donald Weismaii. At the last meeting Gladys Claps and Mary Alice Stokes took part in some entertaining French folk dances. Ben Bradley, Lois Freeman, Lois Greenberg, Bernard Liberman, Mary Alice Stokes, and Don XWeisman all contributed to the musical side of the meetings. Miss Wluite, of our faculty, also favored us with some French songs. The Club brought the season to a proper end with a banquet at the Copper Kettle on May 28, 1941.

Because this club was discontinued for a year tor lack of male voices. it is especially noteworthy, that by continuous practice and under Miss Alice Gibsons able direction, they were able to present such a successful concert. The selections chosen were well fitted to the talents of those participating. A vocal duet, selections by the Madrigal singers, and piano duets by Miss Gibson and Stanley Freedman, former Crosbyite. who has since proven an outstanding pianist, were features of the concert. The group hopes to continue in the future with successful presentations.

The business meeting was usually preceded by a luncheon and the social meeting was devoted to enter- tainment programs. This year the club planned to visit various places of inter- est in Waterbury. The girls spent a very pleasant afternoon at the VC-'aterbury Nurses Home where they were shown through the rooms and acquainted with the work nurses must do. Later in the year, the group visited Dibners clothing factory and was taken through the entire plant. A very successful cake sale was held at Grieve, Bisset and Holland and this did much to replenish the treasury. The girls are looking forward to the annual banquet which will be held at Lift-the-Latch Inn this year.

Under the guidance of Miss Margaret Croft they have assisted in a newly formed plan to keep the cafeteria more orderly and to keep the tables clear for the use of freshmen. They donated to the school, pledge pins to be used in future years for prospective members of the Honor Society. They also inaugurated a beautiful candle light ceremony for the induction of new members into the Honor Society. Besides this the members of the Society again held a College Day, which was attended by an even larger and more enthusiastic crowd than in former years. These numerous activities did not constitute the entire year's work, for, under the able direction of the officers the members enloyed several instructive meetings. At two meetings Mr. joel Anderson, a well-known Connecticut artist, demonstrated various types of sketching and painting.

Programs on the cultural developments of Italy were sponsored at each meeting. Music, art, Italian traditions, social and geographic aspects consti- tuted subjects for these discussions. joseph Sullo, entertained with piano selections at many of the meetings. Italian games or American games played in Italian furnished recreation for the students. At the annual Christmas meeting, the hrst year students were allowed to enter the club.

Feeney, faculty advisor, entered it in the Columbia Scholastic Press Asso- ciation. jane Donovan, editor-in-chief of the paper, accompanied Mr. Feeney to the convention. The paper received third rating. Later in the year, the staff received from the convention a paper ex- plaining the distribution of points which determined the rating. The greatest loss of points was due to the gossip column. The points which the French paper lost because of this column, would have received first rating. At the close of the year, the staff was faced with a problem. They had to decide whether to keep the gossip column, which attracted a great number of readers and at the same time to keep a lower rating, or to modify the gossip column to a social column, risking a smaller circulation for the higher rating. The staff voted to inaugurate the latter policy. Thus under the excellent guidance of Mr. E. Feeney and the unified cooperation of the staff: jane Donovan, editor, Barbara Feinn, assistant edi- tor, and Ben Bradley, business manager. 'La Page Ouvertel' finished perhaps the most eventful year of its existence.

Club, under the able direction of Sherman W. Smith, faculty advisor, concerned itself mainly with analytical geometry, and calculus. The club was originally organiaed on a social basis but because of the increasing Math. requirements in college it seemed advisable to provide advanced math, for those who intended to continue the study of math in the future. The Math Club has fulfilled this purpose successfully. Mr. Smith has also presented and explained many interesting problems to the members. The Club closed the year with a banquet.
