Franklin D. Roorevelt 'ki'i A k'k'k'k'ki ki'i A'i k'k'k ' - SBYI95 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 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 Con- stitution 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, prog- ress, and good-will among men. li.. ' - 9SBYl950' 3. I believe in the City of Waterbury, because of its government, its leading 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 citizenships. 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, Enlight- ened, 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 cul- ture. 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 con- stituted order of things for the coming generations, and preserve that stability of government of the people, for the people, by the people, which has pre- vailed in this state from the very beginning of its existence.

Among the new arrivals was Gerda Hartung who had just returned to the United States after spending seven years in Germany. Two of our classmates, Doris Rhinehart and Leah Douglas, soon proved their skill in writing by submitting prize-winning entries to a Community Chest essay contest. It was during the autumn of this year that the Girls' Athletic Association disbanded because of a great lack of interest. At the Turkey Day football game, an underdog Ivy team became the city champion by beating Leavenworth 18-7, and ended the season with a 4-4 record. Mr. J. Francis Boland was appointed director of sports in the public high schools. The Crosby safety committee, of which Farrell Connor was a member, made a survey of the safety hazards in and around Crosby, and submitted a report to the Waterbury Safety Council. The Freshman Dramatic Club, under the direction of Miss Marie Mac- donnell, put on a presentation of Little Women at the Women's Club. The Argus again received the honor of receiving a iirst place rating from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. La Page Ouverte and La Prensita each received second place ratings. As the school year approached its end, it was announced that Bob Mc- Donald was to be a delegate to the World Scout Jamboree to be held in Paris, France, the following summer. It was also in this year that Miss May Gould resigned as a member of the English department, terminating 26 years of teaching at Crosby. One fine june afternoon we left Crosby as freshmen, but looked forward to the start of our sophomore year, and another step towards being upper classmen. ' - 9SBYI956 SOPHOMORE YEAR With the coming of our sophomore year, we had reached the second step in our climb towards being the lords and rulers of the school. We began to assume more responsibilities and to regard ourselves as older individuals. The year brought about a sports season which ranged from brilliant to dismal. The Ivy Gridders experienced a season which is better left unmen- tioned. However, the other teams put Crosby back into the limelight. The basketball quintet had a slow start but soon were hooping their way to victory and as a result they gained a berth in the state tournament. The Ivy mermen had a remarkable season. With the help of such veteran stars as Skiff, Lux, and Bates, they were ranked first in Connecticut and second in New England. The baseball had a nearly perfect season and gained the Valley crown as well as the city title. The track team had a perfect season and literally ran away from its opponents. During our sophomore year there were numerous faculty changes. Mr. Charles Woodlock retired as mechanical drawing instructor and was succeeded by his brother, Frank. Other additions to the faculty were Miss Ferrone, Mrs. Cameron, Mr. Derwin, and Miss O'Brien. A very popular course was introduced in Old Ivy in our sophomore year. Typewriting was offered for the first time to seniors, under the instruc- tion of Mr. Vincent Stankus. Of invaluable aid to Crosbyites were the vocational assemblies and coun- sel of Miss Kathryn W. Hayes, dean of students. The various Crosby clubs also experienced a very successful year. The German and French Clubs did their part by sending packages to needy families in Europe. Also, a water carnival was presented by the Waterbury Safety Club and the Inter-High Orchestra gave its annual concert. When june came and closed another page of our book, we all looked eagerly forward to our junior year. 0 E0 ' - 9SBYI959 JUNIOR YEAR Another September had rolled around and we were at last juniors. Now, we could actually be considered upper classmen. This year, we found ourselves confronted with a more than usual number of changes in the physical appearance of Crosby. Mr. Elwell now had his headquarters moved to the old A.A. Room. Our cafeteria had a bright and shiny face lifting job, for the table and chair tops were given a coat of red paint while the walls were painted a delicate aqua. Came springtime and Room 212 blossomed out in new desks-movable ones! Our cheerleaders sported new uniforms for the Thanksgiving Game- which by the way resulted in a tie game-Wilby 13-Crosby 13. Three new teachers joined the ranks of the Ivy faculty. They were Miss Rita Gorman, English teacher, Miss Mae McKenna, Girls' Gym teacher, and Mrs. Kasmyra Butler, English teacher. Cur Basketball team had one of its best seasons in recent history coping the city crown. Eight junior girls underwent a preparatory course in teaching which lasted eight days. The purpose was to give the girls an insight on the teach- ing profession so that they might determine if it would become their vocation. Several members of the French paper and the French club along with Mr. Feeney and Miss Crawford helped welcome the Merci Train , France's Gift of Gratitude, which proved very inspiring. Members of the German club visited an exhibit displaying Goethe's works at Yale University. Goethe is considered one of Germany's greatest writers. Our swimming team captured one state title, two second places, and one fourth place in the CIAC championship meet in the Yale pool. The Argus again received first place ratings in the CSPA contest. La Page Ouverte, our French paper, won second place ratings in the foreign language competition. At the traditional candlelight ceremony held in the Assembly Hall April 27, 36 juniors were inducted into the Crosby Honor Society. The annual junior Prom was held April 23 at the Central Y Ballroom. After a very eventful year we could at last proudly call ourselves Seniors. ' - SBYI9 ' SENIOR YEAR September, 1949, brought with it the realization of the dream we had entertained since we were freshmen-we were at long last seniors! It also marked the beginning of a very eventful year, one not soon to be forgotten. We were greeted by several new faces among the faculty. They included Miss Elizabeth Paul, Mr. John Luddy, and Mr. Charles Bannon. In February we welcomed another newcomer to the faculty in the person of Miss Mary Hutchinson. This year also brought some changes of department heads. Mr. Joseph Feeney was appointed head of the modern language department, replacing Miss Angie Keene who retired in June, 1949. Mr. Alfred Kenney assumed his new duties as head of the science department, a position vacated by Mr. Frank English upon his retirement at the end of the previous school year. Mr. William Boland became head of the social studies department in january. This new appointment was made possible through the retirement of Miss Helen I. Haugh who had been a history teacher and head of the social studies department at Crosby for many years. Crosby lost several other valuable educators at the close of the school year in june. Mr. William B. Elwell resigned from his position as vice-principal, English department head, and English teacher. Resignations were also submitted by Miss jane Given, English teacher, and Miss Elizabeth M. Whitehill, domestic science instructor. Mr. Francis Boland was named vice-principal to succeed the retiring Mr. Elwell. In lNovember, we opened our doors wide and declared an open house for all parents and friends of Crosby students. Under the supervision of Miss Kathryn W. Hayes, dean, and with the assistance of a senior committee, the evening's program was so successful that plans were made to make Crosby Open House an annual affair. At a january assembly we elected a very capable slate of officers. To reaffirm our choice and to demonstrate our support for these ofiicers we gathered for an open-house party at the home of Lucille Kenny, our new vice-president. The Argus again won first place at the annual C.S.P.A. convention in New York. La Prensita and La Page Ouverte both won second place in their respective fields. The Senior Dramatic Club presented June Mad , appropriately enough on June 2 at the Women's Club. Michael Flavin, the class orator, delivered the traditional speech at the Arbor Day ceremonies at Hamilton Park. This was accompanied by the planting of a tree dedicated to the class of 1950. The 1949-1950 sports program proved to be a successful one for the various Crosby teams. The football and basketball teams both won city championships. The swimming team finished the season with a commendable record of six wins and three losses. The baseball nine encountered stiff opposition in its first encounters, while the track team, even though losing its first meet, looked very strong in the remaining meets. When we realize that we are leaving the familiar halls of Old Ivy, most of us will have to admit that we will carry through life many fond memories of our years at Crosby.

These are its forests, mineral deposits, waterpower, and the like-all products of nature. They are not the work of manis hand but rather the free gift of a bountiful God. Mankind is utterly dependent upon such gifts. They are the raw material with which he works. Without them there can be no industry, in fact no civilization. In telling the story of man's struggle towards the light of civilized living, historians have marked his progress pretty clearly by his employment for his own use of these basic elements. Often, particularly in our time, there is rather frightening evidence that mankind has forgotten or is wilfully forgetting a certain law that governs the proper use of such wealth. This law, so little practiced, is simply that one cannot forever take away and never pay back. The idea should direct all man's considerations of natural resources, for it is evident even to the simplest mind that such prac- tice unquestionably will end in devastation. It is the sure way to waste our heritage, and unless we plan at once to make some move for paying back we shall be bankrupt. Scientists are already predicting the end of our supply of natural oil. With so much of industry depending on oil for its complicated processes, and the rapid increase in the use of oil for domestic purposes, one can readily foresee the catastrophe which hovers near. It makes us uncomfortable to hear that unwise and wasteful practices are going on in our fair land. It becomes painfully evident that such wanton waste touches us, and we know it is bound to keep on doing so in increasingly unpleasant ways. We know that we should do something about it, but we probably won't. Our parents didn't. On this Arbor Day-tree planting day-I would like to have you con- sider that particular field of natural wealth-trees. ' SBYl95 ' The building trades have long been busy with substitutes for wood. Concrete blocks, cement, and steel are finding favor with them. Why do we need substitutes for wood? Simply because it is used up and we forget to plant trees in place of those cut down. Lately, to be sure, lumber companies have themselves begun to reforest, but it takes a long time to grow a tree, and high prices for lumber keep unwise men cutting them before they really get to suitable size. It ought not to be diflicult for us to see what such wasteful policy brings about. We are literally pulling down our own rooftree. This is a situation which we can understand. We can see it in our Connecticut countryside. And we can, if we want to, do something about it, something wise and far- seeing, when we get to vote. This matter is of great concern to many people in our state, who have had only token support. We can and should remember them and support their program when we get the opportunity. When a river goes wild, destroys property and lives, we sand bag its banks and try to sure its weak places. It is probably true that the real trouble began a generation or more ago when men hungry for money gains cut down the forests that held the river in leash. Let us be wiser than that. ' We know that one can't keep taking away without ever paying back. Let's remember that. DEDICATION : We, the class of 1950, dedicate this tree today to mark the end of one phase of our lives and the beginning of another. The years at Crosby have been rich and happy ones, and we are reluctant to leave them--those to come are ominous with questions involving a world in crisis--these we cannot fore- tell. Our one devout wish is that we may learn to love knowledge more than information, and wisdom more than either. -Michael Flavin XISIID l 4. - SBYI95 SENIOR ENROLLMENT Joseph Louis Abrahams Raymond John Albini Donald John Anderson Joan Marie Asel Marilyn Ann Ashborn Georganne Wilma Austin Alphonse Avitabile Jean D.

Manherz, Old Ivy's baseball squad concluded another successful campaign. The team was comprised of seniors for the most Part with the exception of a few pitchers and its record is a tribute to the class.

' -' 9SBYl950' BASKETBALL TEAM The 1949-50 basketball team, again coached by Jimmy Lee, compiled a commendable record of 11 wins and 7 losses in 18 games, including one con- test in the C.I.A.C. tournament. Led by Timmy Herrmann, George Blair, and Socky Mihalakos, the team won its first three games against Meriden, Hartford Public, and Leavenworth before receiving its first defeat at the hands of a very strong Alumni quintet, 52-44. This score incidentally proved to be the largest margin of defeat for the Blue and White all season. In the next three encounters, Crosby won only against Sacred Heart while being upset by Wilby and Torrington. After the Wilby game, the team really found itself, beating Naugatuck, Ansonia, Leav- enworth, Sacred Heart, and Norwalk in succession. They finished the regular season by winning again from Naugatuck, losing to Hartford Public, and in the last regularly scheduled contest, avenged the early season setback by defeating Wilby, 49-42. In its only game of the tournament, Crosby was upset by a surprisingly strong Danbury team, 60-56. The team again won the city championship and finished third in the Nau- gatuck Valley league. In the way of individual performances, Timmy Herr- mann and George Blair were named to both the all-Valley and all-City teams. Herrmann finished second in valley league and third in city scoring, with Blair finishing fourth in both. The team was hampered at the start by the injury of Charlie Petraitis during the football season. Coach Lee will lose four of this year's players through graduation, the four boys are, Herrmann, Blair, Krawchuck, and Dunlap. BE'-'ID SBY I95 BASKETBALL TEAM George Blair Pete Krawchuck Timmy Herrmann Dan Dunlap Charlie Petraitis ' - 9S YI956' FOOTBALL TEAM With Co-captains George Blair and Richie Sparano leading the way, the Crosby gridiron squad experienced one of its most successful seasons under the competent coaching of jimmy Lee and jimmy Murphy. The team wound up the season with a six-win, one-tie, and two-defeat record. Starting off the season like a house afire, the Blue and White trounced Torrington in the initial fray and Danbury the following Saturday. George Blair was voted Crosby's most valuable player in the Danbury contest by ac- counting for all three Ivy TD's and was awarded a new Derby by the Dan- bury Hat Makers' Association. But, the Leemen met their waterloo at the hands of Ansonia High. The lavender tallied eleven points in the final few minutes of the fatal fourth period to snap Ivy's two-game winning streak. The next Friday night saw Crosby bounce back into 'the win column by massacring Sacred Heart, 40-6. The traditional Naugatuck game resulted in one of the hardest fought battles of the season. Excellent running by George Blair and Bill Fischang's top-rate kicking in the vital conversion department in the final 15 seconds of play enabled the Crosby gridders to effect a 7-7 deadlock. The Blue suffered its second defeat when they locked horns with Hartford Bulkeley, October 28, but, after this fray, it was smooth sailing ahead for the remainder of the season. For their next encounter, the Leemen travelled to New Haven where they showed Wilbur Cross lads how to play football. The Brass City gridders returned to their hometown with the first shut-out under their belts. With George Blair hurling and Bill Fischang on the receiving end, Old Ivy downed a fighting Wilby eleven, November 12. The Wildcats led until the first few minutes of the third quarter when Crosby suddenly came to life. Crosby High captured the city crown and the new Worth's Football Trophy Thanksgiving Day by overpowering the Leavenworth Engineers in the annual Turkey Day Classic. The final score in this contest registered 13-0. Two commendable records were built up by Ivy players. The first is George Blair's scoring half of the team's total points, though he played in eight of the nine tilts. The other was accounted for by the educated toe of Bill Fischang, who scored successfully in 12 out of 21 attempts.

This year, Old Ivy's sharp shooters employed Winchester 52's and .22 caliber rifles in shooting from prone and off-hand positions. In the course of the year the rifle squad participated in a number of shooting matches with various high schools throughout the state. The highlight of the year was its participation in the annual Connecticut State Rifle and Revolver Asso- ciation championship match held in New Haven. Under the able guidance of its coaches, Mr. and Mrs. George Coates, our rifle team experienced a most interesting and enjoyable season.

Manherz's tank team finished up with a 6-3 swimming season for 1949-50. Although dropping three of their meets to good swimming opposition the tankmen proved a formidable team to beat throughout the year. Since five of the eleven lettermen were lost by graduation, promising underclass men carried on with a spirit of aggressiveness in their post. The Manherzmen, after losing a thriller to the Alumni by a score of 38 to 37, opened the season by conquering East Haven, 53-22. They went on to capture their second win by defeating Middletown. Manchester was 'Crosby's first setback but the loss was soon made up when the team beat Wilcox Tech. Captain Jim Garrett, diver, and Bob McDonald, backstroker, excelled throughout the season for the tankers. The Blue and White downed Bristol High. The team also handed the Hartford Owls a setback by a 42-32 score, defeating one of its powerful rivals for many years. Crosby bowed to Naugy with jim Garrett, Old Reliable , taking the only first place. Hillhouse was chalked up as the team's sixth triumph. Sacred Heart won its first victory over the Manherzmen since the two teams have started swimming against each other in 1948. jeff Carpenter and Dave Coleman have continually scored in the 100- yard free style. Captain Jim Garrett captured the diving laurels in the 24th annual C.I.A.C. championship and the Connecticut A.A.U. dive event. Bob McDonald placed third in the state meet in the backstroke. Although the team will lose seven lettermen, as well as Mike Lombardi, a very reliable manager, a successful season is indicated with promising mer- men still remaining for 1951.

This year's prospects, how- ever, were not as bright as they had been at the beginning of the past two seasons. Nearly ten lettermen were lost by graduation, leaving only five, Team Captain Bill Fischang, Al DiBiase, Tom Amico, Chuck Gough, and Mike Gualtieri to this year's squad. Hopes for a completed schedule with a zero in the loss column were soon destroyed. Despite the gallant efforts of Bill Fischang who placed in three events the team found itself on the short end of a 53-51 score in its first meet which was with Hartford Bulkeley. Dan McDonald, Jeff Weaver, and Al DiBiase were the remaining seniors who scored. The outcome would undoubtedly have been in Crosby's favor had Tom Amico, who pulled a muscle, or J. Gaffney, who was home sick, been able to run. At this writing the team was eagerly preparing to avenge its defeat with victories over Torrington, Ansonia, West Haven, and Sacred Heart. This marks the first year that a sectional meet with Wilbur Cross, Hill- house, Bristol, Ansonia, Torrington, Hamden and Crosby participating will take place at the Municipal Stadium. The first four boys in each event will have earned the privilege of taking part in the state meet in New Haven. - SBYI95 William Fischang Alphonse DiBiase Thomas Doolan joseph Gaffney john Kurts TRACK TEAM Jeffrey Weaver Michael Lombardi Daniel McDonald Henry Myers Ronald Nadeau Richard Rudolph ESI ' - 9SBYl959' GIRLS' BASKETBALL LEAGUE What's that!

' - 9SBYI956' CHEERLEADERS Hey? What? What's that? Why, don't you know that the Crosby cheer- leaders are the neatest and best co-ordinated squad in the city? They have not only gained renown in the city but also out of town where they have demonstrated their exuberance and vitality. The cheerleaders, under the able supervision of Miss Isabelle McKer- racker again completed another successful year when the gun went off at the last basketball game. They all had tears in their eyes and a lump in their throat for this was their last game and because they had lost a near victory game. In the fall of the year the girls journeyed down to Bridgeport where they attended the first Connecticut Cheerleaders Clinic. The convention will be an annual affair. Talks were given on the difiicult art of being a cheerleader. After this the cheerleaders from all over Connecticut gave a demonstration of one of their cheers. Constructive criticism was given after each demon- stration. The Crosby girls attained only compliments. They were lauded for their unusual uniforms and precise timing. Once again this year the cheerleaders accompanied the basketball team to the New Haven Arena. The services of the Bristol High Band were re- cruited when the Crosby Band failed to show up. Their repertoire of cheers was augmented when two new cheers were added to it. They are the Cros by Chant and Crosby, Crosby, Crosby . The latter is a popular song sung in the Crosby version. In April the cheerleaders again sold booster passes to the students. This was done to promote better attendance at the baseball games. Free publicity was gained this year when jere Kerr dislocated her hip bone while doing a cheer. She was rushed to the hospital and in the morn- ing paper there was a feature article on the cheerleader who cheered too vigorously. Nancy Wells, captain, did an excellent job in leading the girls through- out the year. To carry on Nancy's praiseworthy work next year will be jackie Swartz, who was elected captain.

This was largely due to the able efforts of its editors, Alice jackson, editor-in-chief, Elaine Messer, managing editor, Paulette Litsky, news editor, Edith Schaaf, business editor, and Bob Gruskay, sports editor. An interview with Rosalind Russell was one of the highlights of the year, along with the bold headline concerning the first student council formed under the supervision of Miss Hayes. During the Thanksgiving and Christmas sea- sons there were guest editorials and features from members of Mr. Elwell's English class. Many verses were submitted throughout the year, among which Joseph Tigue's Wandering was most outstanding. Doc's Cure All , a column by Gordon Edlin, added a touch of humor to the paper, while the Fashion Caravan, by Marlene Lauria, informed us of the latest developments in the world of fashion. In the field of sports there was an exceptionally 'thorough coverage with everything from football to golf well presented by Bob Gruskay. Members of the Argus staff attended the Connecticut Scholastic Press Association Convention in Greenwich, in October of 1949. The participants thoroughly enjoyed themselves in addition to obtaining valuable knowledge about journalism. Pat Bernhardt participated in a discussion concerning fea- ture writing. As a whole, the Argus had a very successful year which could not have been accomplished without the excellent assistance of its advisor, Mr. Charles S. McCarthy.

The feature attractions of the evening were a clarinet solo iby Miles Booth and a piano solo by Harold Fidler. The senior members took their annual trip to New York to attend the opera. This year they enjoyed a performance of Aida at the Metropolitan Opera House. The Orchestra should be congratulated for their diligence and fine per- formance throughout the year.

Under the very able editorship of Charles S. Mc- Carthy, Jr., the paper reached new heights in originality and student interest. Of special interest to most students were the renovated fashion column and the sports section. Once again, Monsieur joseph E., Feeney, faculty advisor, aided students in the publication of the paper. To the entire staff of La Page Ouverte goesour bien fait for producing a paper that merited attention equal to that which the other school papers received. Editor-In-Chief ------ Charles S.

Columns written by second and third year students told news, fash- ions, popular recordings, and Spanish customs and this year poetry in Spanish was very popular. The main use of La Prensita this year was in classes where the students used it in addition to text books. La Prensita has been published for six years, but not consecutively. This year it won a second place rating of the foreign language papers in fthe Columbia Scholastic Press Association Conference. Competition was keen, but due to the wonderful work of the co-editors, Lucille Kenny and Catherine McWeeney, thebusiness managers, Jacquelyn Livermore and the artist, Shirley Ann Daley, ably assisted by the staff and advised by Mrs. Helen Rocky, La Prensita maintained its high standing.

Though L'Araldo is a small newspaper, it has commendably accomplished its purpose of bringing interesting articles to Italian students in a clear, con- cise manner. I Certainly, Miss Mennotti's name is synonymous with L'Araldo, for her efforts have made possible not only the start of the paper but also its continuance. The senior members who deserve much credit for L'Araldo's publication during the school year 1949-50, include: Louise Laurelli, editor, Elizabeth Perrone, Gloria Ruggiero, Marie Guerriero, Rosemary Santopietro, and Joseph Ciarlone. We hope that this fine Italian paper will in the future reap the crop of success that it truly merits.

Although it is only a mimeographic paper, it has upheld its reputation by supplying excellent articles which have been interesting to all who understand German. Throughout the past year, Das Deutsche Blattchen has been able to main- tain a fairly high circulation. As a result of this, and with the suggestion of the faculty advisor, William Kazlauskas, this year will mark the begin- ning of an award system for the best German students. It is the hope of the newspaper that the students will try harder to maintain a high average in the hope of attaining an award. This past year Das Deutsche Blattchen was under the able leadership of its editor, .Mary Lou Leichtle. Such articles as Bobby's Ecke written by Bob Gruskay, Wir Stellen Vor , and features written by Edith Schaaf, Nancy Schmidt, Edward McGurk, Frank Rogers, and Henry Cutler have provided the German students with an excellent newspaper.

This has been largely due to the very com- petent direction of Miss Rose Finkelstein and the leadership of the following officers: President - - - Gordon Edlin Secretary - - Dolores Ianantuoni Treasurer --------- Henry Myers They, along with the cooperation of its members, have presented a most delightful program. Along with this program two events greatly contributed to the year's success. The first of these was the autumn nature walk along the Greystone Trail, for which we are very grateful to Miss Constance Farnhan for her good sportsmanship and wonderful instructiveness. During the walk many beautiful phenomena of natural history were discussed and studied. The second highlight was the tour of the Chase Laboratories. Here we also are grateful to Mr. Paul Leichtle for granting us permission and to Mr. Charles Bannon for his guidance. On this tour many fascinating methods of analysis of metal and alloys were observed and explained. Other achievements were impressive experiments and lectures on radio- activity, topology, and spontaneous combustion. The result of these accom- plishments has brought much pleasure and enjoyment to its members. - SBYl95 Henry Myers Allan Burkman Harold Geering Marianne Lasky Kenneth Mahler jeffrey Weaver Frank Rogers SCIENCE CLUB Gordon Edl in Michael Flavin Robert Gruskay Lorraine Brunelli Mary Lou Leichtle Nancy Heehner Shirley Steele Dolores lanantuoni SEED ' - 0SBYl956 SPANISH CLUB Having one of the largest memberships of any of the school groups, the Spanish Club has enjoyed a very successful year under the directorship of Miss Teresa Ferrone. The officers chosen for 1949-50 were: Prerident -------- Lucille Kenney Vice-President - - joan Flaherty Secretary - - - - Charles Lipetz Trearurer - - - - Kenneth Mahler Program Chairman ----- Catherine McWeeney Among its various educational activities, the Spanish Club has conducted a Spanish vocabulary quiz and an essay contest to commemorate Cervantes Day. The winner of the contest was presented with a gold medal. Two social affairs were held during the year, one at Christmas time and the other on St. Valentine's Day. In the fund raising department, the Spanish Club sponsored several suc- cessful cake sales. The good intentions of the club were displayed when the members pre- sented gifts to the children of the St. Joseph's Orphange during the Christ- mas holiday.

These twenty up and coming mathe- maticians delved into two subjects which so many people talk about, but about which few actually know, namely analytic geometry and calculus. Since these two subjects comprise the standard math course in many colleges for the fresh- man year, it has been the purpose of the Math Club to give to its members a basic foundation in these subjects, thus paving the way for a smooth first year at college. Under the expert direction of Mr. Smith a great deal was accom- plished. The club climaxed the year by formally ending its activities with a banquet.

We, the students of Waterbury's five high schools, present Hi-School Hi-Lites. This program is written, edited, produced and directed by the five high schools of Waterbury. These were the familiar words heard every Friday evening from Radio Station WBRY. Presented for the second year, the purpose of the program, which was under the direction of Program Manager Walter Howard, was to enlighten the students on scholastic and social news. An enjoyable tour of the CBS Television Studios was made on February 28, 1950 which' informed the club members of the intricacies of The Tune of The Week was introduced this year for the first time and it proved to be very successful. A poll was taken weekly in which the students stated the tune they would most like to hear. The winning number was played by our pianist Harold Fidler and occasionally sung by Paulette Litsky. The Crosby news was effectively given by our capable senior announcers, Robert Gruskay, Ruth Maroney, Paulette Litsky, Elaine Messer and Marianne Lasky, who was also the Historian. The show's timing was accurately kept by Alice jackson. E-'IH E .. '- fwp.ms- .isa - , A -Qg145:+5if41',AiI5,jjg43 I . . ,,-I, f Jil R 17?-' 'M .

J ' - SBYI956 T STUDENT REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL Crosby's student council is the newest of all activities, not being com- pletely organized until the Spring of 1950. The student council is the out- growth of careful planning by its conceiver and advisor, Miss Kathryn Hayes. The main aim of the student council is to integrate all the various activities that occur throughout the year and to encourage student participa- tion in more activities. The council consists of Crosby students representing every phase of activities and also representatives at large 'who represent the different classes. Because of its late organization, its various duties were limited and not fully used. However, we are sure that in future years, it will gain increasing importance and will effect many beneficial changes in Crosby activities.
