- - - - CLASS OF '55 SENIORS As this year opens, you find yourselves in a whirl of school assignments and club activities. just as you are settling down to the dignity and seriousness of being the upperclassrnenu in Old Ivy, the excitement of Senior Year begins to plunge you into the traditional and the unexpected. Remember-how you cheered the football team to city-wide victory--how you strongly supported the basketball team as Old Ivy rolled up another city championship and made an admirable effort at the tournament-the good work of the swimming team in the C.I.A.C. and New England championships. Don't forget the pride you felt when your cheerleaders were named the best representative squad at the basketball tournament. Can it be possible that all these good times have gone by so quickly? Gay and colorful Senior Dress-up Day-the suspense and thrills of Class Elections -the wonderful time you had at the Senior Open House, singing and joking with the gang-measuring for Caps and Gowns-the new Cafe-the Dramatic Club's placing in the Regional Drama Festival and participation in the state contest-the first prize won by the Argus in the journalism Worksliop-the Inter-Club Dance and the crowning of Mr. and Miss Argus - traditional Arbor Day. You won't forget your surprise on hearing the news that Mr. Thibodeau had retired, and that Mr. Jeff Boland had become our new Principal. Bill Boland, our popular History Department head, became Vice-Principal. As you begin the preparations for the long-awaited class play and the Senior Prom, the year's social highlight, you realize that the final phase of your years at Crosby has come. Suddenly it's here - Graduation, an event held in your heart with hap- piness and yet a touch of sadness. You fondly look back at Old Ivy and know that you will never forget those four wonderful years. luefwe hil e

THIS IS YOUR LIFE JUNIORS Can you remember your entrance into the ranks of the junior class? You were in the Assembly Hall on the morning of a new school term. A group of students anxiously awaiting your respective assignments . . . waiting to advance another step on the Road of Education. The subjects seemed hard during the first few weeks, but later it became the old routine, as you were better acquainted with your teachers and schedule. Extra-curricular events entered into your life, and school was no longer the burden it seemed. It was during this year that the first all-Crosby Dress-up Day became a reality. A happy time indeed, when you could don your Sunday best. You cannot help remembering the first Inter-Club Dance held in the gymnasium, either. Music and gayety were combined into an evening of sheer delight. In passing o'er the printed pages of your life, you gloat over the success- ful seasons enjoyed by your teams-football, baseball, and basketball, and you remind yourselves of the fighting spirit of the Cheerleaders, sparking these teams to victory. In your Junior year, Miss Parker and Mr. McGrath succeeded two faculty members, Miss Goudy and Mr. Doherty, who resigned after long years of teaching at Crosby. In deepest sympathy, you are reminded of the passing of Mr. Doran, a superior math teacher. His position has since been ably filled by Miss Keenan. A memorable time of the year approached when you finally receive the long-awaited class rings. The gold letters 55 on the side of the ring were a sure mark of distinction and honor. Final exams in june mark the end of your third year in Ivy. A year full of happy memories and wonderful friends. Iuefef- hiI'e
