' - 9SBYI959' CLASS HISTORY FRESHMAN YEAR As we entered Crosby for the first time in September, 1946, and were the objects of the inevitable jokes of the upper classmen, we knew little of the joy and sorrow that lay before us. 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.
