Frnnklifl D., R00.f61'c'1l l I tttittfttttitttt BN 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 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 lawsg to respect its flagg and to defend it against all enemies.-William 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. f' v 'N -4 fN La fx W-A RJ if 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.

We floundered about the wide halls and finally discovered what we later learned was the assembly hall. The following day, we gropingly began our career in Crosby by peering at the room, numbers. Upper classmen pounced on us with shining offers to sell us tickets for the elevator. Some of the lazier and more gullible members of our class were bulldozed into this proposition. For the first three months, teachers and upper classmen gazed con- descendingly and pityingly on our stilted efforts to act as if we belonged. After that, we were merely ignored. We took advantage of the only club open to Freshmen, and concentrated our efforts in the Freshman Dramatic Club, Props and Paints. Many of our potential musicians furthered their careers by joining the band and the orchestra, and they aided considerably in maintaining the excel- lent standards of these organizations. Some of our more literary members interested themselves in the Argus and have since risen to prominence on this paper. The Crosby splashers, with outstanding success captured 11 victories and suffered only one defeat in the State Championship matches. The Rifle Team proved its marksmanship in an outstanding game with Leavenworth, a close game with Wilby, and the subsequent City Champion- ship. The Golf Club succeeded in downing both Leavenworth and Wilby. The Basketball Team, unfortunately, experienced a season of alternate successes and defeats, and for the first time in many years Wilby won a 25 point lead over Crosby in the traditional Turkey Day game. A year chock-full of new interests! We felt awe-stricken at first, but now we're troopers preparing to take a second big step. Freshmen beware! ! We're sophomores now. ' 'W Q A 1 -4 fN NJ fN l 'Q Cz 'N -4 .1 V SOPHOMORE YEAR Although we now seem to have reached a certain degree of maturity, as sophomores we faced the opening of an entirely new life for us in Crosby. No longer restricted by the term freshman, we enter wholeheartedly into all the phases of Crosby activities. Early in the year, athletics drew our attention with a thrilling 13-13 tie in the annual Thanksgiving football game with Wilby. Then basketball and swimming took the spotlight. An Ivy swimming team broke the world's record in the 300-yard medley relay and made an excellent record at the Interscholastic Swimming Meet at Yale. Although the basketball enjoyed only a mediocre season, the team did succeed in splitting its pair of games with Wilby. In the spring, fighting basketball and track teams took the field and made creditable records. Crosby organizations were also very active that year. The Radio Club was formed to replace the Crosby News Program. The Argus received a third rating in the Columbia Scholastic Convention and La Page Ouverte enjoyed a successful year. The Art Club purchased a fine oil painting and presented it to the school. Both the Band and the Orchestra concerts were highly lauded and the senior play of the Senior Dramatic Club was a great success. Throughout the entire year of activities, members of our class were to be seen participating in all the organizations, and when we found that we had reached the halfway mark of our high school career, we realized that so far it had indeed been a very full orie. JUNIOR YEAR Our life here at Crosby has been like a climb up a ladder. Each rung represents another step upward, toward that which we are striving to achieve. At the beginning of our junior year, we were just at the middle of the climb. When we got back to school in the fall we had a difficult time recog- nizing Old Ivy, for during the vacation, the school had been redecorated. The halls had been painted, new desks put in and old ones varnished, and the cafeteria entirely redone. In connection with the cafeteria, it seems only fair to mention something of the splendid work the Honor Society did this year in helping to keep it clean and orderly. Under the supervision of Miss Croft and Mr. Elwell, the members eagerly joined in to make recess and eating a real pleasure. We are also proud for it was in this year that the candle-ceremony induction for juniors was begun by the Honor Society. In the sport world, another rung of the ladder was left behind. Our swimming team finished tied for first place with Hartford in the State com- petition. In football, a successful season was closed by bowing to Wilby 6 to 0. The basketball team did well ending the season with 11 wins to 7 losses. The track team came through once again with its usual successes, as did the Golf Team. Journalistically speaking, Crosby reached new heights. Far above the former steps, it had climbed, when the Argus was awarded a second place rating, in the C. S. P. A. contest. La Page Ouverte entered the contest for the first time and received a third place award. Besides scooping all local news- papers on an interview with Wendell Willkie when he was in Waterbury. the Argus sponsored Crosby's first fashion show. The shadow of war became even more eminent to us when its first effect reached Crosby. The beginning of the year brought two English girls, war refugees, to Old Ivy. With the three-fourths mark of the ladder reached in June, we came to the end of our junior year. This also brought the end of years of knowledge and devoted service with the retirement of two of our best-loved instructors: Miss Kane and Mr. Grafton. Although at the time the climb seemed long and hard, looking back now it passed by unbelievably fast. And now eagerly, we looked upward to our Senior year, the goal and height for which we had been mounting with effort but with eager desire. Next year we would be the highest class, the ones to graduate! W l Q 1 -4 f'N sa! FIN I 4'-x Q 'W -4 .J ll SENIOR YEAR Finally after three years of anticipation comes the realization of being seniors. Also, every mighty senior finds that the ivy has grown rather thick and strong around him, and it's going to be difficult to tear it off. Ivy was not the only thing that grew this year. Our basketball team reached one of its highest peaks in years. It went to the finals of the state championship and to the semi-finals of the New England championship. We were mighty proud of Mr. Schofield's boys this year. The swimmers created a big splash in the state this winter, too. The team missed a chance for the state championship at Hartford. Hartford Public was the only team that defeated them, but at the C. I. A. C. meet at Yale, individuals on our team took a queue of titles, so they finished in the spray of a rather successful year. ' A strong golf team chalked up a very successful season, although there was no State Tournament to compete in. An unusually superior Argus staff and La Page Ouverte group were awarded second place in a national rating conducted by the Columbia Scho- lastic Press Association. War came during our senior year! What went on behind that growing ivy is certainly not a military secret. First-aid, life-saving, knitting classes, and air-raid drills were practiced energetically. Four glorious years have implanted so many happy memories in the minds of the Crosby seniors, and the stripping of the old green ivy comes all too fast. It really does hurt, this graduating, but then our life is in front of us with new challenges, interests, and delightful memories to look back on.

TREE ORATION It would be impertinent of me to address this group of classmates if the subject assigned were not a vital one. Unlike many other wars, this one is signified by the term total , which means that every one of us is involved. We are fighting, literally, on two fronts, the actual lighting front, and the home front, and it is inescapably true that the side that will win will be the one with the greatest resources, particularly natural resources. America has always been wasteful of its natural wealth. We felt that we had plenty, and some to spare. It was only when nature itself revolted that wg took the question of conservation seriously. The tragedy of the Dust Bowl, which brought consternation to many mid-western states, brought home vividly the fact that our agricultural methods were wasteful. It was proved beyond a doubt that men could not commit outrages of this sort without paying the grievous penalty. In the realm of forests, the same thing appears. We have spent billions of dollars and will spend more on flood control which nature handled very efficiently before we stripped the waterways of the forests which held back the freshet streams in spring. P Q fN Q f5 '-w Q 'N -4 .J With these two examples in mind, we come to see the grave necessity that faces us. We of the home front must begin before it is too late to estimate the value of our natural resources and to take immediate steps to preserve them. For they form the backlog of any chance we have of winning the war, and it very well may be that in the last analysis they will win the war. Q If you accept this theory, and you muff, then it follows that one of the most important contributions that you and I can make is to build up and put into practice a whole-hearted belief in the efficacy of saving. Save, Preserve, Salvage, these are the shibboleths of the day. America is at war. It needs every bit of paper and metal that we can save to carry on its mightypieffort. Today more than ever we begin to sense the need for conservation. I wonder if you realize that during the last fifty years our natural resources have been rapidly nearing exhaustion. For instance, it has been estimated that at the present rate of consumption our forests will last a few decades, our hard coal fifty years, and. our soft coal one hundred years. At any time these would be facts of vital significance. Under the stress of war when no man can determine how much of these materials we shall need immediately, the significance increases to alarming proportions. It is true that you are not now being asked individually to save coal and trees, but you are being asked to save their by- products and thereby release greater and greater amounts of the materials at the source. Q It would be unfair to say that we have never made an attempt to save our natural resources. For at least two well-known Americans were far- sighted enough to see our dilemma and to make provision for it. Both Theodore Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot formulated and actually carried out plans whereby millions of acres in more than forty states were set aside for reforestation. Gur own president has set in motion legislation which will save countless acres now useless in the Dust Bowl area, our Department of Agriculture is working feverishly to save what is left of fertile lands and put more under cultivation, other departments are building dams and power plants to harness power formerly wasted. And so we see that at least for fifty years Americans have been working on the project of saving and now it has come down to us. Our good sense tells us that we need to save. The immediate threat of destruction to all that we hold dear demands that we must save. In conclusion, I ask in all sincerity that you not only save those items that from time to time will be called for to speed the war effort, but that I 0 Q KN LJ f'N H Q .1 you develop from this moment on the type of thinking which makes, saving, preserving and salvaging a normal activity for each of you, individually. That is the spirit which makes the backlog possible which well may win this war. In dedicating this tree in the name of the Class of 1942, I am sobered by the events in the world around us. I realize as perhaps never before that this occasion marks one of the few times of meeting of our class as a unit. With the world situation changing momentarily, the call of duty reaching out literally from every corner of the world, it may well be that the true significance of this moment is greater than we can possibly appreciate. However, we do realize as never before that we are free men and women. We feel the true significance of the blessing of freedom, and we are ready if need be to fight for it. And so we, Americans all, blessed with the knowledge of what true freedom can mean, dedicate this tree to the memory of those men who have already given their lives for us and our freedom, and we further dedicate it to the Class of 1942, who hereby pledge themselves and all they possess to fulfill the obligations which freedom imposes on all.

Its two triumphs assured the Blue nine a better ranking than the 1941 squad, which was tabbed the winless wonders and lost all the games on its schedule due to the great amount of green material. The season opener saw Crosby bring the bacon home as the team whipped Ansonia 15-6, and then rode over Torrington 8-2. Leavenworth drew first blood in intra-city competition, downing the Blue by a 7-4 score. Gilbert handed Crosby a 7-6 setback, a fourteen-inning affair, for its first league loss. The same week, the Manherzmen dropped their second city contest with Wilby on top, 7-5. On the following day, Crosby received its fourth straight defeat at the hands of Watertown by an 8-6 count. At the present time, the Crosby standing shows two wins against four losses. This year saw most of the 1941 squad returning, with Bill Bender, the cap- tain, heading them. The squad will be hard hit by graduation, as there are eight seniors on the team, including Bill Bender, Artie Fisher, Bunnio D'Agostino, joe Cavanaugh, Frank Karvelis, Bemie Shembreskis, Joe Dernick, and Bob DeLeone. Two fine prospects who will return next year are Tommy Kelly, a sophomore, and Woody Jensen, a freshman.

The Blue 5 claimed the distinction of being the first Crosby basketball team to reach the semi-finals of the state tournament. Whipping Manchester, Windham, and Meriden, Crosby encountered Naugy, its greatest rival, only to lose in the finals to a scrappy Garnet crew, 36-35. Less than a week later, a fighting band of Ivy basketeers again fought Naugatuck, this time in the New England semi-finals, again to be handed defeat by a 47-44 count. The season play of the Schofield-coached team was more brilliant than its 11-6 record reveals. The loss of its second game against Warren Harding, a slip-shod affair, by a score of 27-26, proved disastrous and ruined the Blue's chances of copping the Valley League crown. Hoping for a possible tie, Crosby finally succumbed to a big Torrington court crew in one of the most exciting scholastic thrillers played in Waterbury in recent years. The team finished the season in third place behind Torrington and Harding, who were tied for the league title. Crosby gained possession of the city title by downing Wilby and Leavenworth twice. Co-captains Art Fisher and Albie Kelly were the sparkplugs of the team, Fisher scoring 218 points for the season while Kelly tossed in 202 points. The outstanding play of the guards, Bud Belanger, Bob Reynolds and Bob Boucher, was instrumental in the team's success. Coming from the 1941 reserves was Norm Feitelson, who played a top notch game at forward. Next year, Bob Conlon and D'Agostino will captain the team. D'Agostino saw much service during the year as a forward, while Conlon played well at his guard position. BASKETBALL Arthur Fisher Harold Belanger Robert Boucher Norman Feitelson William Kelly Frank Karvelis FOOTBALL Crosby's football team possessedpplenty of aggressiveness and spirit, but the '41 gridders lacked a certain punch at the crucial moments which is evident in the season's record, showing only two triumphs in eight starts. ,, In its opening game, marked by one of the best turnouts for an opener at the Municipal Stadium, the Blue battled to a 0-0 tie with Norwalk. However, in the next two contests, Ansonia edged by Crosby with a 7-6 win, and the commitment of costly misplays resultediin a 19-15 Torrington victory. Bound- ing back from defeat, the Schofieldmen fought to a 12-0 win over Leavenworth, and took Central into camp, 18-0. Greatly outplaying Naugy, they were unable to gain a triumph, the classic game ending in a 6-6 deadlock. The season ended with an unforgettable, short time Wilby fray, for with victory in sight, r-' , the contest ended with the Wildcats in front, 12-7. ST' The great forward wall consisting of five seniors, Don Cruess, Shem- breskis, Negreira, O'Neil and Ciarlelli, with Hank Fasanelli and Ray Willensky led the Blue attack. In the backfield, only D'Agostino, McSherry, and Drapatin will graduate. Returning will be Tony Lombard, 1942 captain, Hummell, Nichols, and McDonald, which promises a good season. 67 Q 1 -4 K5 Q rw ,i v -N -4 ..J V I Don Cruess Bill O'Neil Carm Ciarlelli Bob Negreira Bernie Shembriskis Bunnio D'Agostino FOOTBALL Bill Bender Bob Drapatin Russell Truelove Dick McCleary Edward Fagan Al Manzi B' GOLF CLUB During the past year, the Golf Club enjoyed its most successful year in five years of existence. An unusual number of golf enthusiasts participated in the club's activities. The first of these events saw three members of last year's golf team qualify for the first three positions on the team with Tom Dooley holding fourth position. The team started the season with a match at Terryville that was a 3-3 tie. The next three matches against Hamden, Torrington, and Leavenworth proved easy victories. However, this winning streak was shattered by a very strong New Britain team. The score was 4-14. With the remaining matches to be played on the home course, the Golf Team looks forward to a very successful finish. Although three members of the team are graduating, we are confident that Rollie Boucher will carry on with such junior prospects as Bill Moran, George Steinmetz, jack Hoey, and Ken Neale. William Schofield was faculty adviser.

Most of the year the club has ridden at the Hobby Horse Stables in Middlebury under the direction of Mr. Leon Beck, who until his departure, aided them by his skilled tutelage. They are now going to the Rose Hurst Stables, also in Middlebury. Under the capable supervision of the faculty adviser, Miss Florence Turnbull, the club, divided into two separate classes, one for advanced riders and one for beginners, has had one of it's most active years.

Every year, more than a hundred students turn out for instruction. This year, boys and girls alike came out to learn the intricacies of rifle shooting under the competent instruction of Floyd and Clark Cady. The activities of the club were rather limited this year, however. The scarcity of ammunition and the transportation problem formed great handicaps, but much was accomplished through the efforts of the members. The first team ended the season with an eighth place in the New England area of the National Hearst Matches. The team was also among the first 15 in the National Rifle Association, which includes over a thousand teams. Since most of the team members were juniors, next year, if shooting is allowed to continue, the team promises to be the best in many years.

With the same demonstration of power and ability, the swimmers put down the first six rivals easily, probably exhibiting their best form during the Warren Harding meet. The seventh rival, Hartford, was the only obstacle between the state championship and Crosby. The swim- mers knew this, and because their nerves were at a high pitch, an anxious man turned over short of the wall, being disqualified and losing the meet by a score of 35-39. They retaliated the next week though, and defeated Hillhouse by 60-15, a shut-out except for one event. Crosby's longest athletic season was ofiicered by J. O. P. Manherz and ably led by the co-captains, Paul Lux and Dom Spallone, each of whom cap- tured the state titles in their respective events. Besides holding state crowns, the captains have envious records, Dom being defeated less than four times during three years of dual competition, and Paul undefeated in dual compe- tition this year. Also, with their help, Crosby earned a majority of points in the state meet. The chief point contributors during the year besides the captains, were Dick McCleary, ace free style man, who swam the unoilicial time of 54.9 for 100 yards, and Vic Romanauskas, crackerjack free-styler and backstroker. Ed Fagan, now of the marines, Chris Reiley, joe Frisbie were other senior point-fetchers. Mr. Manherz, who by his swimming teams has made the school swimming- conscious, is being left with several able swimmers under the leadership of conscientious Bill Webster, already a distinguished backstroker, Bob Jackson, holder of the state individual medley relay championship, Tony Lombard, free-styler and also Tom Donahue, johnny Holmes, Rollie Boucher and Ray Pidge.

It is to the credit of the class of '42 that this team was organized and made possible by three Crosby seniors-Dave Gibson, Al Marshall, and George Lord. The success of the team is also clue to Ross P. Chamberlain, math teacher, who volunteered his services to help build a strong foundation for future teams. The team indulged in five meets plus the state tournament this springg one each against Hartford, Torrington, and New Britain, and two against Leavenworth. George Lord, present city junior champ, played the number 1 post with Al Marshall number 2. Lord and Marshall also were co-captains of the team. Only Lord, Marshall, and Gibson will be lost to the team next year. The officers are as follows: I President - - - - Al Marshall Secretary-Manager - - Dave Gibson W L v 'N -4 fN Q 0 i Q NJ 'N -4 Y TENNIS TEAM David Gibson George Lord Alvin Marshall TRACK TEAM Despite the loss of George Brown, Crosby's fleet state champion, and several other excellent veterans, the Ivy trackmen, this year, began their new season determined to make a fine record. Under Coach J. F. Boland's watchful eyes, they quickly rounded into shape at their fine field out at the Municipal stadium. In their first meet, they took the strong Warren Harding team into camp in an exciting contest at Seaside Park in Bridgeport. Although the Hardingmen quickly built up a large lead, the Crosbyites fought uphill to take the final decisive relay and win by the score of 56-48. In their next meet, the Ivymen met a Watertown High School aggregation that had been undefeated for two consecutive years. Undaunted by this, how- ever, the team succeeded in defeating a fighting Indian 57-47 and are now well on their way to another successful season. Standing out in our victories have been Lux, McCleary, Randall and Captain Frisbie. Also prominent were such athletes as Monaghan, McSherry, Spallone, Sheldon and Fasanelli. With four more meets to complete the season, the Blue and White team is confident of victory in the majority of them and have high hopes for an undefeated season. joseph Frisbie Richard McCleary D.

Everybody got a taste of the war this year, and the functions of this club were considered as one of the various efforts for victory. Save a life?-the right way, was the motto they sang out as they swam under the instruction of Miss Florence Turnbull, club adviser.

' Our basketball team was so successful this year that Old Ivy had a chance to try for State and New England honors. joint assemblies were'held in the gymnasium so that the cheerleaders might lead cheers that would put fresh spirit behind our team and to make their fellow students attend the games at the New Haven Arena. There were many new and exciting pep cheers led this year, like the Skyrocket, a short quick cheer with a great deal of zip. Peter Constantino and Norma Leone headed the group with such splendid co-workers as Eleanor Orsini, Caroline Slater, and john Grappone. They all certainly deserve credit for leading their classmates in the cheers that have brought victories to our team.

The students feel that it is truly their paper because through Janet Elwin's untiring efforts, the clubs and individuals have received due recognition for their work. Another contribution that janet Elwin, the editor-in-chief, has made to the school community was her column, Hi There, Professor, in which students saw their teachers in an entirely different light. In this way, teachers have become likeable personalities to many students who never really knew them. The managing-editor, Richard Ozaroff, has devoted much time to the paper, and has greatly improved the front-page make-up. Muriel Elwin has done a great deal of work on the editorials and on the front-page stories. Dave Gibson, sports editor, and Frank Litsky have presented the sports news in an accurate and straightforward manner. Rita Stoll's industrious work on circula- tion has been effective. The Argus was forced to change printers in the middle of the year, and without Arthur Schwartz's capability as a business manager, it is probable that the gap wouldn't have been bridged as effectively. The Argus' endeavor to promote worthwhile activities lead to the two Argus Co-Ed Fashion Shows which featured student fashions. These shows have proved very popular and entertaining. A representative group of the Argus staff attended the Columbia Press Convention in New York where they were given a second place rating for the second time. Also, about thirty members attended the Connecticut Press convention in New Haven. The unflagging interest of Charles S. McCarthy, faculty adviser, as well as his patience and encouragement, have contributed much to the welfare of the paper this year. Mr. McCarthy states that despite many obstacles, the Argus will continue next year and throughout the national crisis with well-trained students in charge.

The Sketch Club was organized for the most talented sophomores eligible for the group. At the first business meeting of the Art Club last September, the following officers were elected: Prerident ----- - - - Anne Dickinson Vice-Presidents - Edmund Shambaris john Ensminger Secretary - - Evelyn Scigliano Tremurer ------- Evelyn Clumpus - Many of the meetings were spent working in oils. Along with these oils, pastels, charcoals, pencil, and water color drawings made up the annual Art Club Exhibition, which was held in May. Anne Dickinson was awarded the junior League Scholarship to the Wa- terbury Art School. It is significant that this is the seventh consecutive time that the scholarship has been won by a Crosby art student. Much of the credit should go to Miss Edith Patten, art instructor. The traditional picnic was the last meeting of a very successful year.

The club started its activities early in the year by electing its officers: Prerident ------- Shirley Robinson Vice-Prerident - George Russell Secretary - - - Joan Vanasse Trearurer ------- Arthur johnson Its activities were climaxed when the club's Lynn Fontaines and Alfred Lunts presented KaufTman's and Marc Connel1y's Dulcy which turned out to be a great success. The cast was headed by joan Vanasse as Dulcy and by George Russell as Gordon Smith with each subordinate part portrayed with ability by Robert Boucher, jack Randall, Eveline Angrave, Donald Duncan, jack Bradley, Donald Steeves, George Lord, Shirley Robinson, and Robert Drapatin.

Several years ago the constitution was lost, so, with W admirable ambition, the members worked out a new constitution written in RJ French. janet Elwin has been the first president in years to really attempt to 5 better the French Club by conducting the meetings entirely in French. She has been extremely successful. -4 Every meeting was held as scheduled, and the efficiency of the other officers, Joyce Mulcrone, Greta Hahn, and joan Vanasse made them very entertaining and interesting. fx The programs consisted generally of games conducted entirely in French. A question bee, crossword puzzles, and anagram game, a spelling match, and a Truth and Consequences, program with the forfeits done in French, were the highlights of the year, and were participated in by all the members. SJ Miss Gladys White's excellent rendition of several French songs proved fx very enjoyable at one meeting of the club. The patience and understanding of Miss Dorothy Crawford, faculty is adviser, has spurred the officers and members on to sincere and harder work. This year may be chalked up as the most successful in many, many years and has set up a standard which future officers may well strive to uphold.

Under the guidance of Miss Angie Keene, the reins of the club were given over to the following oflicers in September: Prexidenl - - - - Robert Drapatin Vice-President - - Charles Nelson Secretary - - - Alma Speidel Treasurer ------- Ruth Patschkowski ' The club had two outstanding get-togethers this year, beside the regular Monday night gatheringsg one being a Christmas party, the other a meeting at President Robert Drapatin's home. For the Christmas party, the members collected toys for needy children, and presented a Christmas tree to a grammar school. Dr. Kirschbaum enter- tained the group with movies he had taken in western Europe. At another meeting, Anna Gresinger, a Wilby student who visited Germany in 1938, spoke on Education in Germany and exhibited a collection of German coins. A picnic was held to finish the year.

Until this time, a small group of girls working with Miss Constance Farnham experimented in ways of familiarizing themselves with various scien- tific careers and schools for furthering their education. This year the club was opened to all Crosbyites. With the past work as a foundation, everyone went feverishly to work. Among other activities the girls made field-trips to local hospitals, city hall laboratories, and to the Museum of Natural History in New York. During meetings, various vocations were discussed, movies shown, and catalogues examined. Miss Farnham's friendly, capable guidance, and her spontaneity of ideas has been indispensible to the success of the club. Those graduating this year feel that they have definitely been aided in their choice of schools by the cooperation and advice of their adviser and fellow members.

Besides singing Christmas carols through Crosby's halls, the club also visited the Wfaterbury Hospital, St. Mary's Hospital, the Brookside Home, and the Southmayd Home to bring a little Christmas spirit there. A group of the Girls' Glee Club sang at the night school graduation at Wilby. The annual concert was given on Tuesday evening, May 19, at the Women's Club, under the very able direction of Miss Alice Gibson. The con- cert was a huge success due to the tireless efforts of Shirley Armstrong, George Russell, and those members of the club who have been faithful throughout the year by attending rehearsals regularly. Miss Gibson deserves very high praise for the way in which she directed and supervised the club.

However, it has managed to do many other things. At the beginning of the year, a party was held at the Business and Professional Women's Club for the new members. In February, the club held a very success- ful cake sale. Entertainments were given during the meetings, and girls made luncheons sets and did Red Cross work. The club was under the very able direction of Miss Elizabeth Whitehill. The girls are planning a banquet as a closing gesture.

Determined to contribute as much as possible to their school life, and ably guided by Miss Margaret Croft, they met in September to elect their officers and plan their programs. P Under the leadership of Diana MacDonough and Irving Swirsky, they took over the cafeteria sanitation program and decided to awaken a spirit of cooperation among the students in the cafeteria. Their hard and continued labors have brought them success and recognition from both the faculty and student body. They have also helped sponsor this year's annual Salvation Army drive and have been instrumental in gaining student support for such functions as the band and orchestra concerts. The meetings have all included interesting programs. William B. Elwell, head of the English department, lectured on school obligations. Miss Edith Hart, of the Leavenworth High School faculty, showed movies of her western trip, and Roy H. Walch, history teacher, gave a psychology test. Next year, a new Honor Society will try to do as much for Crosby as this year's society has.

However, this is not the only accomplishment of the organization. It has also been a source of unusual entertainment, such as quizzes, matches, games, etc. By participating in these, the members have pleasantly learned a great deal about the Italian language, and as a result, they are able to speak it more fluently and intelligently.

Much of the credit goes to its hard working editor, Barbara Feinn. It was mainly through her efforts that the monthly publication was able to achieve a second place rating from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. A great deal of credit also goes to its erstwhile Business Manager, Dick Weisman, who made it possible for the paper to be increased to twice its original size. Among the special features of the paper are many very enlightening editorials, an interesting fashion column, which is a new feature of the paper, sports columns and various humorous articles. William Moran has been elected to head next year's staff, and with present standards and traditions as guides, La Page Ouverte is headed for another great year.

Walch, faculty adviser, has been aiding its members in the selection of their vocations. Starting in 1927 with a small group of boys, the club has -4 gradually attracted the interests of many, and is now one of the most im- portant school organizations. As many phases of general vocations as is possible are presented to the members. This is chiefly attained through various vocational talks, movies, FN and excursions direct to factories and plants. This year a thorough study of the brush business was made by thirty members who visited the Fuller Brush Co. in Hartford. In the films shown by Mr. Walch, the boys not only learned about the history of American industry, but also about the operation of a movie camera. NJ A trip through Post Junior College enabled the members to see and 9 operate the various machines used in business. A vocational preference test and aptitude tests were also used this year. Later, other students in the school Q were also allowed to take the tests. The members who are graduating this year will long remember the Occupation Club and the excellent help from Mr. Walch. For through his Q help, many students have solved their vocational problems. 5 Officers of the club are: Preriderzt - - - - Walter Horman -A Vice-Prerident - - Francis McCormack' Secretary-Treasurer - - FI'af1Ci5 Walsh -, Program Chairman - Harry KCShi21f1 V OCCUPATION CLUB Walter Horman joseph O'Brien Robert Drapatin Robert Petitjean Milton Kadish Oscar Liebreich A Harland Christoflerson ORCHESTRA At the beginning of the year, the following ofiicers were elected: Preridem' ------- Kenneth Neale Vice-Prerident - Norman Canfield Treasurer ------- Mary McDonald This year under the able direction of Floyd C.

Under Mr. Tappan's patient and efiicient guidance, the club held a student forum, in which the members of the Spanish Club discussed the question of What Inter American Cooperation Means to My Country. Another thing achieved by this year's club and oflicers was the close cooperation between the Spanish and History Departments. The material compiled by the Spanish Club and Spanish classes has been used by the history classes to good advantage. The Cervantes Medal award to the person writing the best essay on The Life and Works of Cervantes was won by Ruth Metz.
