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 itg to support its constitution, to obey its laws, to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies. -William Tyler Page 2. I believe in the grand Old Commonwealth of Connecticut, the pioneer mother of all 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 educationr- in everything that fosters culture, progress, and good-will among men. HLUEXLUHIIE f I 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 generationsg 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. arilwriiwr ff vt ' s .1 w , ' fgw.

True, the war did not yet involve America, but its effects were evident over here. In an Argus poll, 9823 of Crosby's students showed themselves for the Allies, despite urgings to remain neutral. Our annual blizzard kept 1,150 out of 1,450 Crosbyites at home. On the sporting front, though the Ivy teams didn't fare too well, there were bright spots in the year. Perhaps the brightest of these was the world's interscholastic record of 5:09.9 in the 500 yard medley relay set by the famous Ivy aquatic trio of Tom Jackson, Jack Manherz, and Al Shailer, in a meet against Warren Harding of Bridgeport. Another Argus survey showed that we, as freshmen, preferred high school to grammar school. Crosby took first place in the second division of a state-wide Latin con- test, testifying to the ability of both teachers and students. By this time, our freshman year was drawing to a close. It had been something new and unusual for all of us, and it was with eager interest that we looked forward to that momentous day when we could look at the in- coming class and smirk, Freshmen! lfltUEl41l1l1lIEff SOPHOMORE YEAR Q At last the time had come - no longer were we mere mistreated, inno- cent freshmeng we were now full-fledged upper-classmen, for we were entering our sophomore year. We could play the same jokes on the unsuspecting fresh- men that we had suffered, and we lost no time in doing so. We did become more serious, however, with the threat of approaching war. This factor became even more real with the attendance of two British refugee girls in Crosby. It was also the year of elections and in a straw vote among the pupils, Roosevelt won, among the teachers, however, Wilkie was victor. When the latter campaigned in this city, janet Elwin, '42, was able to interview him. The football season was not very successful, with Wilby beating us in the traditional Thanksgiving Day game, 6-0. The basketball team kept up to standard with 11 wins and 7 losses. We defeated Naugatuck once and lost the second game. After an exciting game with Wilby, we won the city championship. The Swimming Team was also very good, although Hartford Public managed to beat us again. Although not taking any firsts in the C.I.A.C. meet, we did manage to take four seconds. The baseball team was its usual self - need we say more. The Golf team fared better, winning seven matches and completing one of its best seasons to date. The Track team had a good year with George Brown state champion in the 100 yard dash, second in the 220 and third in the broad jump. The Tennis team had a pretty good year also. With June came happy plans for vacation, but also sad farewells. Miss Kane and Mr. Grafton, after long and successful years of teaching, were retiring. Their loss was felt by all. HLUE ll lllllllf ff JUNIOR YEAR We're juniors! And while we had just begun to digest our knowledge, some termites had already digested our gym! However, the necessary repairs were made and the junior year goes on its way. In the sports line:- Wilby was victor at the Thanksgiving football game by a score of 13-7. The Swimming team came in second in the state finals, losing to Hartford. The Basketball team got up to the C. I. A. C. semi-finals but lost to Naugatuck. And in the clubs:- La Page Ouverte omitted their customary gossip column and the meetings of the French Club were held entirely in French. Rifle sharks organized the Waterbury junior Rifle Club. The Language Clubs, Art Club, Honor Society, G. A. A., Girls' Vocational Club, Riding and Radio Clubs went through a very successful year. Miscellaneous:- The Argus sponsored two fashion shows, Crosby students being the models. It celebrated its 32nd year of publication and was chosen as the second best school paper in a nation-wide contest. Student guidance programs were organized where the pupils helped to bring the student body into closer contact with the faculty. When December 7th cast a shadow on our sunny days, all Crosby rallied to do its bit towards victory. The sale of defense stamps in the school was initiated, many of the Crosbyites who were eligible joined some branch of the service, and a large group of girls was organized to knit woolen sweaters for the children of war-stricken areas. Many of the students also helped out during the rationing of gas and sugar. . . . . And also we bade farewell to an eventful semester and lifted our heads to the senior year, somewhat gladly, somewhat sadly. ELUEXUJHITE ff SENIOR YEAR Usually, summer vacation brings happy anticipation of the carefree days ahead, but this year the prospect has instead a nostalgic hue. Due to the stress of war, there is little chance that few members of the class will be fortunate enough to go on to college. Many instead will enter the Armed Forces and still others will enter the war industries of the nation. But when we look back over our Senior year, we realize that there have been many incidents worthy of note. There was the football team's glorious 33-0 victory over Wilby, and the swimming team's rating as second in the State. The basketball team reached the quarter finals in the State Tournament and the rifle team completed a perfect season. This year saw the coming of an entirely new course - aeronautics, as well as the formation of a new club-The Science Club under the supervision of Mr. Kenney. In spite of the fact that many of the students were engaged in after-school war jobs, the clubs had highly active and successful seasons. Then too, there was the honor of taking first place in the Columbia Scholastic Press Conference with our widely-read Argus. The French paper came up with second place honors. The baseball team started out by winning their first three games and finished out the season with an almost even record of wins and losses. An Honor Society, boasting a membership of 43 students, carried on the excellent work of former years in the cafe. This, the second class to graduate during World II, may indeed be proud that, due to its excellent spirit and in spite of the war and its far-reaching effects, its members have gained greater and higher honors in their quest of knowledge and victory.

But in a larger sense these are only symbols of patriotism, they are symbols of a spirit which should be alive in every American. Never before in our lives have we had the opportunity to manifest the desire of all true Americansg the desire to be active patriots. Never before have we been able to think of patriotism in terms of ourselves. Now our country is engaged in a war of survival and on its outcome will depend a free and righteous world. Hence, we, who have read about patriotism and dreamed about patriotism now have the privilege of being patriots, of actually shaping the future of our country and to some extent that of the world. Heretofore, we have been on the outside looking ing henceforth, we must and will be in the middle of the fight. When we attempt to define patriotism we immediately find ourselves in difficulty simply because patriotism includes so much meaning that is not finite. At best, we can describe it as the spirit from which love of country emanates. This is the spirit that moves men to feats of bravery on the battlefield, even to death in order to preserve all that they hold dear. The men who held Bataan for so long from the detestable Jap showed us in a single action what a student could not explain about patriotism in a lifetime of study. This spirit, rooted firmly in our New England soil, moistened by the blood of our ancestors in the Revolution, and nurtured alternately by war and peace ever since has given us our heritage. But in our enthusiasm for the glory of war patriotism, we have failed to realize that this feeling must be equally alive in peace. Perhaps if this had been true in our country and, in truth in all countries, the world would be at peace today. True patriotism is not confined to war or peace, it is permanent. Although we have partly failed in our obligations to our country in time ELUEX WHITE ff of peace, we can still show our patriotism by active participation in this war, whether it be at the battlefront or on the home-front. With a knowledge of our failures in the past, we may be more prepared to cope with the future. We, the graduates of high school, will be ia determining factor in that future, be it war or peace. Before us now lies the opportunity and indeed privilege of freeing the world, ours is the opportunity of being active patriots in war. We have, in our school life, exhibited a commendable war spirit 'by buy- ing war bonds and stamps, by being air-raid wardens, Red Cross workers, air- plane spotters, and Civilian Defense workers. We have remained silent about information that might have aided the enemy and finally we have maintained unswerving faith in our government. Although these patriotic actions have aided the war effort immensely, we now have the opportunity to do even greater service for our country. Soon, many of us will enter the service, others will go into the mills, all will be aiding their government to win the war. This is truly one of the greatest chances we shall ever have to demonstrate our love for the United States. Once we have achieved victory and are again at peace, a new and somewhat unknown form of patriotism must permeate our minds to the extent that it will guide our actions. This new form of patriotism will seemingly offer little opportunity for the eager patriot to serve his country. On the contrary, it will require all the self-direction that we can muster for it demands a very subtle type of service. Being an interested, responsible citizen will be the new, peace- time form of patriotism. Some citizens will protest that they are and have been such interested and responsible citizens. Nevertheless, much evidence has proved that many have been neglecting their rights as citizens. How often we have seen a rainy election day keep people from the polls, too often we have witnessed civil- clisinterest. These are the problems that Americans must face after the war. BLUEXUJHITE ff Patriotism in peace lacks the glamour of war but is equally important to the building .of a strong nation. We are now facing the greatest war, the greatest problems, and the greatest privileges that have ever been offered patriotic Americans. No longer will we be satisfied with reading about patriots and patriotism, no longer will we stand helplessly aloof from our country's problems. The time for action has come and we, Americans all, must and will patriotically respond to the call, first as citizens of a nation at war, second, as citizens of a powerful nation at peace with the world. In dedicating this tree, we, the class of 1943, are particularly aware of the moment at which we do it. Never, in all the recorded history of the entire world, is there a parallel to the upheaval now present everywhere. All the things we stand for, all the things we love, all the things we crave for the betterment of our living are at stake. War rages everywhere on this earth. The roll of our class shows a growing list of fellow members who are even at this moment giving up everything in an endeavor to save for all time the rights we cherish - the fundamental rights of free men and women - free- dom of speech, freedom from want, freedom from fear, freedom to worship as we please. And so it seems altogether fitting that we should dedicate this tree to them and to others who will follow in their footsteps. Q Now, I dedicate this tree in the name of the class of 1943 to those members who serve, and to those who will soon serve their country in the armed forces, trusting, that under God's guidance, we may speedily come to the peace for which we pray. A peace based upon complete understanding, complete sympathy, shaped by the stern demands of truth, honesty, and respect. ROBERT H.

With co-captains joe Smith and Teddy Kobrin returning at short and third and Bill Thompson to the out- field, the boys brought home the bacon to a starving mass of humanity within Crosby's ivy-covered walls in the form of a 5 to If victory over Ansonia in the opening game. Then followed victories over Gilbert and Cheshire before a 9 to 4 defeat by Wilby brought an end to the victory string. Falling into a lapse, our boys became the victims of Taft and Leaven- worth before emerging from it by beating Gilbert 9 to 6. This fair early- season showing together with the bright prospects in the schedule ahead assure Crosby of a high place in the year's final standings. Graduation will dig deeply into Crosby's supply of diamond talent, claim- ing the sounder half of the infield in the persons of Smith and Kobrin. Thompson and Daly will also be missing in the outfield as well as battery mates Doyle and O,Brien. However, this year has produced two newcomers who will bear watching before they come to the end of the blue and white diamond trail. Johnson at second and Reardon at first will form a strong nucleus for 1944.

Old Ivy provided one of the most thrilling state tournament games witnessed in recent years when joe Smith tossed in two foul shots to defeat Bassick 41-40. Lady Luck then turned her back, however, and Meriden topped Crosby by a 34-23 score. During the regular season Crosby conquered such arch rivals as Tor- rington, who knocked them out of the title in 1942, Wilby, and Naugatuck. As in its 1941-42 season, the Blue 5 gained possession of the city title by taking Wilby and Leavenworth into camp twice. The highlight game of the season was its 47-45 conquest of Torrington in a thrilling overtime affair. Crosby's Seven Man team was composed of Fasanelli and D'Agostino at forward, Bannon at center, Reynolds and Conlon at guard, and rounded out by Smith and Kobrin filling in at all positions. With several excellent replacements coming along, Crosby looks forward to a banner season in 1945-1944.

In the absence of Mr. James A. Murphy, assistant coach at Crosby for more than twenty years, Coach William K. Schofield and Captain Tony Lombard relied on the aid of a few ex-Crosby stars. After losing to Ansonia and Torrington in the first tilts, the Blue foot- ball squad met Central high. This game, as practically every game that Crosby has played under the influence of the sea-air at Bridgeport, was another of those slam-bang affairs. In spite of their valiant efforts, they were forced to bow for the third time in the season. The Crosby-Norwalk game which was originally scheduled for Oct. 24 was cancelled. This gave the Crosby gridsters an extra week of rest in which several strategic changes were made. Crosby staged a comeback when the supercharged boys turned back a favored Leavenworth squad by a score of 12-0. Next on the schedule came Naugatuck. The Ivy-Greyhound sports rivalry took on new vigor because a few of the players also participated in the Crosby-Naugatuck basketball series in which Crosby was defeated by Naugy at New Haven for the Connecticut and New England championships. The spirited team handed Naugatuck the short end of a 19-0 score. This, however, was somewhat hidden by Crosby's defeat by Taft. For the first time in five years, the Crosby football team was favored in the Crosby-Wilby annual Thanksgiving day classic. Due to the increased number of workers, there was a smaller and younger crowd at the game. By combining an ardent will to win with outstanding playing ability on the field, backed by a fine cheering section, Crosby defeated Wilby.

The membership of the club has decreased some- what from previous years. Although not as numerous as last year, the mem- bers attended all meetings and supported the club enthusiastically. Roland Boucher, the only remaining member of last year's team, was there to carry on the work as president of the club and captain of the team. Because so many eligible players are now engaged in war work and because transportation facilities are not available, the Golf Team had only one match, that being with Leavenworth. Emphasized throughout the year was the chief aim of the club -- not only to carry on the club, but also to resume the regular activities of the team as soon as world conditions permit. This year's officers are: Prerident - - Roland Boucher Vive-Prefident - - Norma Feinn Sec1'efm'y - - Joanne Brandvein T7'6ll.fZl1'61' William Moran Elllfl X LUHITE ff Franklyn Litsky Thomas Horrigan Meclelise Dzinsky Eileen Lanouette Robert Crowley GOLF CLUB Joanne Brandvein Leona Curley Roland Boucher Kenneth Neale Norman Canfield blames Kellas Marion Sandin William Faerh Harold Deeley William Moran l3lllElWllllE RIDING CLUB This year brings to an end the sixth successful year of the Riding Club. During this year, the club has ridden at both the Hobby Horse and Laskas Stables. Pins have been awarded for ten consecutive weeks of attendance at meetings, and ten hours of riding to Nancy Bowman, Sally jane Miller, joan Ensor, and Marjorie Donnelly. Miss Turnbull, faculty advisor, showed moving pictures and scrapbooks of former riding clubs at meetings when members were unable to ride. A picnic ride is planned for the end of the year. lfltlli X UMW ff RIDING CLUB Preyiderzl - - - - Nancy Bowman Vice-Prefiderzt - - Michael Giordano Secretary - - - Sally jane Miller Treasurer - - john Pappaioanow lfllllilllllllm RIFLE CLUB In spite of difficulties in obtaining facilities for practice, the Crosby Rifle Club has completed a successful season, competing in several out-of-town matches as well as regular National Rifle Association events. Under the able direction of Coach Floyd C. Cady, assisted by his son, Clarke, a former Crosby marksman, an official course of instruction was given to thirty-six juniors and sophomores in addition to the regular club member- ship. The course dealt with nomenclature, sighting, and aiming, the care and use of a rifle and the safety rules. In competitive events, the team has been highly victorious, defeating Hillhouse twice, once in a postal match and once in a shoulder-to-shoulder match, and defeating Upper Darby Senior High in a postal match. In the annual Hearst Trophy match, Crosby's first team placed eighteenth in the First -Corps Area. In this same match, Polly Nevers, one of Crosby's marksmen, placed second in the country in the girls' division. . Those who served on the first team this year were Bill Faeth, Bob Auray, Polly Nevers, Ralph Smith, and George Tracy. The officers this year were: Vice Pfefzdefzt - Robert Meyer ewetmy T1 eafuf 61 - Robert Auray Captain and P1'e.fidemf - - William Faeth S . . - . . . - RIFLE CLUB Pauline Nevers Thomas Horrigan Robert Meyer Harold Deeley William Faeth Anthony Cobrun Robert Auray Robert Crowley Betty Guhring Timothy Nolan Hll,lElllllllllE SWIMMING At the Individual Championship at the Yale pool, Crosby placed high in every event, except the breast stroke which was unusually weak. The state dive title was captured by Johnny Holmes, one of the finest divers to ever leave Crosby's springboard. Tony Lombard, a powerful free-styler, took the century and 50 yard dash, while two surprising newcomers, Marty Mc- Donald and Howie Peterson, each placed third in the 100 and 50 free-style respectively. An amazingly close second was effected in the 220 free-style by Bob jackson. The team scoring race was won by Lombard. Tom Donahue, Bill Judd, George Frantzis, Bill Brown, Bob Marks, Bill Kenausis, Tom Kurtz, Bob Per- relli, Rolly Boucher, and Dick Bowen, all contributed to the score at vital moments. This year, despite a sketchy schedule created by the transportation problem, the Crosby swimming team under the expert coaching of O. P. Manherz added another classic niche to the Crosby annals. Led by Captain Bill Websrter, the squad had a well-rounded season, swamping Bassick, Bristol, Naugatuck, and Hillhouse, and losing to the Alumni, 39-29, and to the Yale Frosh. A thrilling race was again seen as the Mermen bowed to a 40-35 de- cision to the Hartford splashers at which time the victors took the state crown. lllllf ll lllllllf ff SWIMMING TEAM Thomas Kurtz William Webster john Holmes Anthony Lombard Roland Boucher Hllvlilwllllli TRACK The Crosby Track Team established a precedent this season by holding practice in the evening from 6:00 to 8:30. This was necessitated by the fact that many trackmen were working afternoons. Despite the fact that few lettermen returned, Coach F. Boland succeeded in fielding a fairly well balanced squad. Crosby was without the services of its captain, Al Sheldon, who enlisted in the Army. Crosby opened the season on May 14 in a triangular meet with Ellsworth and Bristol. The veteran Ellsworth squad defeated Crosby 77-35 1f2. Crosby in turn defeated Bristol 33 U2-12 ifz. Fasanelli won the shot put and the relay was won by Crosby to give us two firsts, three seconds, three thirds, and five fourths. Shimkovich took second in the shot put, third in the javelin, and fourth' in the broad jump to give Crosby six points. Crosby has a strong relay tea-m this year consisting of Perkins, Auray, Hathaway, and Lombard. This combine won the event in one minute, 41 seconds. Crosby has competed in three other meets with Ansonia, Torrington, and another triangular meet with Watertown and Taft. With the added practice and experience, Crosby has succeeded in acquiring winning form. lllllt li UJHWE ff TRACK TEAM Williarn Webster john Shimkcvitch Anthony Lombard Robert Auray john Holmes john Surgener ELUEMHJITE GIRLS' ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Girls' Athletic Association has instilled in its members the love of fair play that is the underlying principle of American philosophy. It has given to the girls comradeship that all people desire. In each game the club plays, there is the friendly rivalry that sportsmen love and thrive upon. This year, under the guidance of faculty advisor Miss Florence Turnbull and the club's officers, President - - Loah Nan Stevens Vice-Prefidezzt - - Mary Di Leone Sccrenzry - - Joan Velte Trearuref '--- - - - - Elena Scuillo the G.A.A., as it is familiarly called, has flourished. The above mentioned officers are also recipients of the Double C, the highest award of the Girls' Athletic Association. The annual Christmas Party was held on December 21, 1942. Watertown High School girls were the guests of Crosby at a play-day held on March 15. Miss Turnbull stated that, though the group was comparatively small, the complete cooperation of all the members led to a very successful season of competitive sports. IEILIIEIIIUHICIE ff G. A. A. Elena Sciullo Mary DiLcone joan Velte Muriel Hammonds HLUEXLUHITE LIFE SAVING CLUB Because of the demand for war workers, Crosby's Life Saving Club was smaller than usual, but those who joined worked with the thought of safety and physical fitness in war and peace. This year the club sponsored two trips to the Payne Whitney Pool at T Yale University, the first, in February, to see the eleventh annual Yale Swim- ming Carnival, the second, in March, to attend the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference. The faculty advisor was Miss Florence Turnbull, a certified American Red Cross Life Saving Instructor.

They realized that a team, like an army, must have its morale boosted in order to do its best, and so they attained their goal of having some of the cheerleaders at every game. At the traditional Thanksgiving Day game they made all our hearts beat faster when they spurred our team on to win a glorious victory. They used some new cheers this year, among them the Yell and the Yeah cheers. Mr. F. Boland originated the cheer in which the leader shouts, 'iWhat do you think of--? and the crowd replies, Some boy! The Cheerleaders' Club was organized this year with Miss Florence Turnbull and Mr. F. Boland as faculty advisors. At the club meetings the members had their regular drill, and practiced calisthenics and marching.

Although The Argus has had a second place rating for several years, this is the first time that it has ranked at the top. The Argus' success this year was due primarily to the fine direction of C. S. McCarthy, faculty advisor, and the untiring efforts of the co-editors, Muriel Elwin and Franklyn Litsky. The well-balanced front page make-up is the result of Franklyn's careful planning and it is Muriel who executes the eye-catching make-up on the second page. Eileen Lanouette and her Fashion Highlights need no introduction and the columns of Harold Deeley and William Faeth were read and enjoyed by all of their classmates. Thelma Santoro's gay limericks match her laugh- ing eyes and Joan Phelan's interviews have brought many prominent per- sonalities to the interest of the Crosby students. Fair Exchange has been capably handled by Bette Guhring. Malcolm Burr and Phyllis Thompson, members of the junior class, have been of invaluable assistance to their senior colleagues. iiltlltlllllillt ff ARGUS Muriel Elwin William Facth Franklyn Litsky Thomas Horrigun Joanne Brandvein Thelma Santoro joan Phelan Betty Guhring ELUE X lhllllf ART CLUB This club is limited to 30 members, two of which have joined the armed forces this year, Claude Graham and Richard Pierpont.

Practice had to be at 7:00 in the morning because musicians were working after school, but this did not keep Mr. Evans or the group of 50 from doing a good job at athletic or public performances. The seniors in the band can look back upon many interesting exper- iences for during their first year the band was invited to play at the New York World's Fair where they participated in a Waterbury Day. In 1941 the band made a trip to New York again, but this time to see the opera Carmen by Bizet at the New York Metropolitan Opera House. Last year they again made a trip to New York when they toured Radio City and attended several shows. This year, because of transportation, the band members made no trips, but they got enjoyment from doing their bit to help Crosby win by playing at the football games. Mr. Evans made the concert a success this year, as always. The pro- gram included l'Salute to the American Flag, The Seventh Regiment March, l'When the Lights are LoW,l' l'The Lost Chord, Hungarian Dance, and combined with the orchestra, Let Freedom Ring. The Eagles for four years in the band were presented by Nelson Canfield, President of the Parents' Music Club to Kenneth Neale, Norman Canfield, Priscilla Tappin, Philip Kampner, Alvin Reiner, and Sherman Cohen. The Annual Banquet was held at Wilby and Kenneth Neale, Captain of the band spoke on musical instruments. The members of the band cer- tainly appreciate Mr. Evans' efforts, and hope that interest in this organization will grow.

Under the excellent auspices of Miss Marie Macdonell, the club presented on June 11 its annual senior class play entitled, l'The Green Stocking. This year, because many of the senior players were working in defense plants. rehearsals were limited but the players did an excellent job. Special mention should be made of Eileen Lanouette, William Moran, Roland Boucher, Leona Curley, Betty Card, and Bette Guhring, for their line work and cooperation in the senior play.

Something new in the way of entertainment was presented when the club listened to records which were made during the last war for the benefit of the American soldiers. These records consisted of groups of French words which were helpful to the doughboys. The club played Bingo at one meeting, calling the numbers in French instead of in English. Several plays share the highlights of the year. Malcolm Burr and Norma Feinn, two juniors, presented two short plays and, at the December meeting, members of the club presented a delightful Christmas play. A Christmas banquet was also enjoyed at this meeting. Due to wartime conditions, the annual banquet was eliminated this year. Instead, refreshments were served at the last meeting.

This Christmas, for the second consecutive year, the group caroled through the halls of the St. Mary and WaterbL1ry hospitals. They also sang carols through Crosby's corriclors on the last clay before the Christmas recess. ElllElQlUlllllE ff Through the middle of the year, there were no special activities. On April 30, the club sang for their friends at the Southmayd home on Columbia Boulevard. This took the place of the usual annual concert.

The club under the leadership of Miss Constance Farnham, has been a guiding in- fluence in assisting the girls to prepare for their future work. Their activities this year were extended to include trips to the local hospitals, lectures on dietetics by Miss Murnane, who is in charge of the Crosby cafeteria. During meetings, talks were given on various vocations, and that of nursing was discussed at great length. Miss Farnham's tireless cooperation and deep well of original ideas have been a most important factor in the success of the club, and the excellent work of the officers has done much toward furthering its popularity.

They began their membership in May of last year and now are making way for next , . yea! S SCIllOI'S. Though everyone was on a crowded schedule, the Honor Society managed to slip in six meetings during the year. Various things transpired at these assemblies: officers were elected, a new cafeteria system was put into effect, the Society was addressed on the subject of college, aptitude tests were taken, and the Honor Society of 1944 was inducted in the traditional candle-lighting CCK'CI1'1ODy. The big job accomplished by the Honor Society was in the cafeteria. A system designed to eliminate confusion was introduced and proved fairly successful. Next year should turn out even better, as the system was revised at the close of this year. We wish next year's members the best of luck.

The plan was in- troduced and approved by all the members. Therefore the Christmas program consisted of refreshments, the comedy, La Befana, and the playing of Lotto in Italian with small prizes given to the winners. As usual, the first year Italian students were initiated into the club at this meeting. At various meetings throughout the year, Italian records were brought in and listened to. The third year pupils composed Italian compositions on any subject of interest concerning Italy which were completed on May 31, '43. The second year students were not obliged to, but could enter the contest voluntarily. The award, presented on the night of graduation, was a silver loving cup on an ebony base. The cup is engraved with the name and other information con- cerning the Winner. A book is also to be given to the most active and helpful member of the club this year.

To facilitate the attendance of working members, night meetings, as well as the regular afternoon meetings, were held at the homes of the club members. This year, a very full one, included all kinds of activities and games. The American games Bingo, and Ghost were played in German, and the club members drew pictures which they' described in German, both modern and olde? German records were played at these meetings. German was spoken at the meetings and a fine of one cent was imposed on those who neglected to do so. For a patriotic activity, the members wrote letters to the former members of the German classes who are now in the Service. The club held a Christmas party at the home of Harry Keshian, where refreshments and entertainment was enjoyed. At the end of the year a picnic was held.

During this time it has prospered under the diligent supervision of faculty advisor Joseph E. Feeney. The paper is written completely in French and has met with all the specifica- tions of an excellent journal, which is shown by the fact that it placed second in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest for papers printed in a foreign language. Editor-in-chief Bill Moran and assistant editors, Joanne Brandvein and Norma Feinn, have helped make 1942-'43 one of the paper's most success- ful years. The sports department, under the able supervision of Sherman Shiller, had given Crosby sports fans many interesting accounts. Business Manager Alan Maynard, with the earnest cooperation of Ursala Feeney and Phyllis Segall, has kept the paper on a paying basis. Various articles, such as La Mode de la Femme by Eileen Lanouette has assisted the paper in giving a wide circle of readers.

When some junior boys decided that they would like to look further into some class physics experiments and try some of their own, they went to Mr. Alfred D.

The initial response was encouraging and the club came into existence. BLUE ll lllllllt ff To date, the Science Club has performed largely experiments in physics, which have proved most interesting to the members.

At every meeting, a short discussion was held, taking a dif- ferent section of South America each time as basis for debate. During a discussion, the club endeavored to find out all it could concerning the section's natural resources and then its attitude toward Germany and the Allied powers was discussed. The meetings were not all work, however, for at several the members were entertained by movies, plays, word games, Bingo, and singing, all done in Spanish. The most important meeting of the year was Pan-American Day, April 14. At this meeting, speeches, stories, and biographies of South American heroes were given. Before the close of the meeting, a South American infor- mation quiz was held, won by Harold P. Deeley. He was presented with a Spanish-English dictionary.
