Crosby High School - Keystone Yearbook (Belfast, ME)

Text from Pages 1 - 90 of the 1949 volume:

Through the steadfast doors of learning, Watch them, as they swiftly pass To the haunted doors of yearning, All their wishes to surpass. We are leaving Crosby to embark into a challeng- ing, sympathetic and frosted world, yet in this world we will meet Greed, and Hate and Insane Desire. Little do we, as seniors, realize the roughness of the unvarnished floor that lies in our pathj little do we realize how steep and treacherous is the ladder to true success. In this book our final message to all our friends, we say that we are going into this unsettled world with the intent to make it a better place for all in which to live. We are presenting this yearbook, The Keystone, to you as a remembrance of us, our fidelity, love and loyalty to our school. Now... ...... .

CROSBY without whom the undergraduates and alumni of this high school would not have so full and rich an education. IN William G. Crosby Anne Crosby Johnson APlPlRQlECllATllQN We, of the graduating class, look with fondness through the corridors of our four senior years here at Crosby, years of guid- ance and benevolence. However, a link in the chain of our edu- cation would be completely lost if it had not been for the charity and understanding of one great woman. To this worthy benefac- tor and friend we dedicate this yearbook, our final tribute to Crosby High School, for her help and charity and worthwhile contributions to the furthering of our education, socially, morally and physically. A D M I N I S T R A 2 I TO THE GRADUATES OF CROSBY HIGH SCHOOL In preparing these few words for your yearbook, I think back to Thoreau's advice, Students should not play life, or study it merelyg but live it from beginning to tend. It is my hope that through years of contact with the Belfast schools you have learned to live better by actually trying the experiment of living. I am sure Crosby High School is a better school today because you were a part of itg and your cbmmunity will profit because of your experience with the give and take of demo- Cratic living. ,From your group, and thousands of other similar groups from coast to coast, are tomorrow's leaders in the social, economic and political life of America. There are no bounds for real leadership. There is, however, this one pre-requisite, re- sponsible leadership. Whatever your future plans may be, set your sights highg make your mark in life. May your personal success and happiness contribute to the success and happiness of people everywhere. -Elliott A. Diggle, , Superintendent of Schools if O Senior Lads and LassieseeThe most that I can do with limited space is to say that We shall truly miss you when September comes smiling ong to wish you well in whatever you may undertakeg to bid you a regretful farewell and to leave you each a per- sonal message: Deep in the heart of you, Seniors, Cherish three loves, Conscience, Truth and God. Let them keep working their Way Into your lives and acts Till the pattern is set. Then they Will abide And from them will emanate That which is fair and good. Guard them as the mother-bird its young, As our Shepherd o'erwatches His flock. There let them challenge you. There let them grow Deep in the heart of you, Seniors. --Edith Williams Small 1 l FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY The essence of American democracy is that we can enjoy more freedom as We prove our ability to assume greater responsibilities. Building on the foundation laid at Crosby High School, may the members of the Class of 1949 and their successors go far in their quest for freedom and civic responsi- bility, that they may thereby attain the greatest happiness in a life of fruitful endeavor. -S--Frank A. Rliuland Science Mathematics Social Studies English Languages Music Junior High School Business Practical Arts Physical Education EDITURIA S Yesterday and Today Twenty-five years ago through the gen- erosity of many citizens, especially Mrs. Ralph Johnson, this shire city of Belfast witnessed the dedication of Crosby High School. The building, completed in the spring of 1924, was modern in construction and sufficiently large to stand any influx of the city's population. In speaking for the class of 1949, I feel that we have deeply appreciated the faci- lities which have been made possible for us. We are quite aware of the sacrifices of yesterday, brit in looking ahead to the future, we urge everyone to awaken to our local educational problems. Perhaps you think with the new, modern addition to the Governor Anderson School that there are no more problems. If this is true, come and visit the schools and see for yourself the problems that face not only the faculty, superintendent and gov- erning bodies but also you, as citizens of Belfast. Today, twenty-five years after the dedi- cation of Crosby High School, we still appreciate the thought and care that made this building possible, we still adm.ire the symmetry and stateliness of its structure. Yet, we are forced to admit that it is not adequate to meet the demands of a con- stantly growing population brought about by the increasing birth rate and consoli- dation of our school. In mentioning the inadequacy of our school building, one must thoroughly rea- lize the conditions which are prevailing at Crosby. There is, at present, a combined gymnasium-auditorium which, although insufficient- in size, carries an unbearable load with many conflicting schedules. New lighting and ventilation would add to the health of the youth of the commur ity. Qconlinued on page 735 I Speak for Democracy What is America to me? A name, a man, a flag I see, a certain word democ- racy, I speak for democracy, I speak for the hundreds and hundreds of good clean liv- ing Americans, I speak to you. As our type of government grows and matures into a well rounded form of life, we, as citizens, have a threefold duty. We have a task that demands our utmost concern and undivided attention. We must be good Americans, we must remain loyal to our country and keep faith with our ancestors, we must defeat any danger, enemy or radical that knocks at our door for recognition. If we as students were asked our true conception of democracy, we would per- haps hesitate to pass judgment on so great a gift. Perhaps we would say: It is the right of each individual to follow a life pattern that he, himself, has cut out and choser. It is the right to practice our own faith and live amicably with all. That's democracy! Yes, this wonderful land with all its richness, material and immaterial, is for all. John Jones, the baker's son, or Henry Reed, the lawyer's son, could be our next president. That's democracy! When we are able to laugh and sing and cry and live our lives the way in which we please, that's democracy! It is easy to say, Well, we're lucky. - Yes, we are lucky, lucky to be here in this country and not in some country where God and morals and all human decency are blotted out by the ink of greed and obsession. Yes, thank God, we are lucky. You're lucky, I'm lucky and pray God our children may be lucky. Qconlinued on page 763 v Roberta Annie Achorn Cfmfral Ro . . . Oh, fine . . .

Here we are nearing the last step in our high school careers, next year will find us seniors, preparing ourselves for life in the bus- iness world. New faces and old faces found their way into our class this year, adding joy on one hand and a little sorrow on the other. We send a vote of 'tthanksu to Mr. Troy, our class advisor, for his assistance through the year. His undivided attention in all our activities, basketball, football, the Senior Ball and the Junior Prom, marked him as a true friend and helper. from Raw: R. Clegg, P, Banks, H. Colby, 11.

CLASS of 1951 President Donald Mooers Vice-President Ann Cole Secretary Betty Crosby Treasurer Shirley Sanker It was a hard grind, but we are Hnally named Silly Sophomores instead of Foolish Freshmen. We have contributed a few memorable deeds that we want Crosby to remember. Much enthusiasm has been shown in sports throughout the school year. It did not stop Donny Mooers when he broke his leg during football season to become Crosby's most exuberant spectator. Oh! yes, certainly the girls deserve recognition for their splendid support to the girls' basketball team. Selection of class rings was in order this yearg and, of course, we think ours are the nicest of all. We want definite identification throughout our years at Crosby and elsewhere.

After all those years of hard Work we finally made it with flying colors. We are now full fledged freshmen. The seniors had little sym- pathy in giving us the works at our reception. Since we are now initiated into the Senior High, our class is well represented by enthusiastic students participating in dramatics, basketball, student council, and various clubs.

The true climax of a series of perfect events was the eighth grade party, which made a big hit with us all.

With banners waving and spirits soaring to the greatest heights, the 'energetic cheer leaders, always en- thusiastic, show undaunted spirit all through the season. More than once Mr. Lewis's snappy band was there to make the afternoon complete.

Youth Center Council-Much thanks is due the hard-working troupe of students that regulate, through the school, affairs at the Youth Center. Big strides have been taken to make the Rec a better and more interesting place for students to go. One of the most active and progressive organ- izations in the high school is the dramatic club. Under the able direction of Mrs. Small, the club has progressed in membership, ability, and leadership year by year. Two plays, public speaking and a one act play were the highlights of this year's season. The dramatic club featured a Varied program for all of its members, and each dramatic student realized by the end of the school year that dramatics was much fun, hard work and required true sports- manship.

The success of the team can be attributed to the competent coaching of Coach Jaworski and Coach Troy. They produced a team full of fighting spirit, with a hard-hitting line being a compliment to the powerful backfield. Every game dis- played fine sportsmanship, cheered on by the school spirit of the many spectators. Captain-Hoppy Vaughan .Manager-Richard English Assistant Manager-Tom Harvey BA KETB The Crosby Lions showed definite improvement as they roared into action this year. Their hours of practice with Coach Jaworski produced a fighting team which was rewarded by their victories over stiff opposition. Some of our outstanding players, Phil Crosby, Jimmy Wilson, Erchie Clements, and Bob Aultman, will be lost to the team next yearg but their basketball reputation will be carried on by our spirited underclassmen.

This reputable team, captained by Linwood Starrett, was undaunted in spirit and courage and never faltered till the game was over. The season closed with a score of nine wins to four losses. Their increasing popularity can be attributed to the combined efforts of Coach Jaworski and every player who worked to lay a strong foundation for Crosby's future success.

The managers, Roberta Achorn, Donna Smith and Josephine Young, ably assisted the girls. High scorer for the season was Squeeza Smith with 114 points. THE KEYSTONE gg 47 THE HOUSE The dim light of the tallow candles were magnified intensely by the massive, crystal chandelier suspended overhead. As he sat there, the light, like a living creature, seemed to dance toward him through the quaint, flung-open French windows. Outside, the fog, hovering close to the ground, waited and caught the light and whipped it around into grotesque shapes. He didn't notice me. Why should he? I was only his servant, newly hired this morning. Suddenly with a nervous twitch- ing movement he glanced at me. He must have read in my eyes the quizzical ex- pression caused by hearing many legends about this house on the moors. Come here, Alfred, he said. I have taken a great liking to you 5 and, there- fore, I find it very necessary to tell you something if you are to stay in my employ- ment. My heart gave a lurch as I sat down opposite him. Was I to learn his secret? Many people think me odd, Alfred, living up here all alone, but this is the way I want it. I'm tired of people and their rush and noise. I want to be alone with my music. As a small child, I remember none of the homey things of life, like gingerbread and Christmas trees. I remember only the barren, white halls, dozens of doors of a foundling home, the odor of disinfectant, and the harsh slap of a matron. No one will ever know my unutterable joy and the songs that filled my heart that Decem- ber afternoon. A tottering, old lady ushered me from her path with her cane and entered the home. Somehow I knew she would have a hand in my futureg therefore, I hurriedly followed her. As I listened outside the matron's door, I heard her say, 'I need a boy to chop my wood and do a few other small chores in return for his board? Yes, Alfred, I was chosen, and at last I was like other boys. I wasn't taunted any longer at school because I had no mother or father. I was loved and cared for. I did my chores well, and as a reward I got a piano. Music then became my life. It was something that was mine, and no one could take it from me. My happiness was brief, however, for Mrs. Crosley died, leaving me all her pos- sessions. I hastily sold her house and belongings, which made every tongue in the neighborhood wag. With this money I entered The London Conservatory of Music and obtained the knowledge that led me to fame. Yes, I've been to Rome, with all its splendorg Vienna, with all its laughterg Paris, the fashion center of the worldg and many others. I came to London with all its joy that fateful evening. I had just finished my command performance-and if I do say so, I think it was my best- when a ragged street urchin came to my room with a smudgy note covered with finger prints. It requested me to follow the boy immediately. I thought it a prac- tical joke until I looked at the pleading eyes of the boy. Then I followed silently through the crooked, narrow streets of London in the fog. Finally our journey ended at an old hut located Where the odor of the Thames was sickening. Through the cracks in the hut I could see glimmers of light, and as I opened the door my eyes fell upon a ragged, filthy bed. A man CContinued on page 585 48 THE KEYSTONE ONE MAN'S MEAT Up in the New England hills one can find many characters, mysterious and homespun, solid and rough as a rocky ledge, and eccentric, to a degree. Such a one was Jeb. So far as anyone knew, he had no other name. All that knew him called him Jeb. He lived in the weather-beaten farm- house in which he had been born no one knew how- many years before. In his yard were several gnarled apple trees, which bore each year a scant basketful apiece of scabby, withered fruit, and to one of these venerable relics was tethered each day, in rain or shine or bitter cold of winter, one horse, as old and withered and gnarled as the trees themselves, but with a fierce fire still blazing in his faded eye. Behind the conventional two story farm house stood a rickety barn, more weather beaten ar d forlorn than the house, and to one side, a garden, which produced, though ill tended, a fine assort- ment of vegetables which were the envy of every farmer for miles around. Most important of all the odd features of the plantation was the automobile. A. more fantastic conglomeration of parts was neverseen by human eye. Originally it may have been an early model, shaped like a box and set high off the ground, but now parts had been added and subtracted until it was indeed the most outlandish vehicle, anywhere. But strange as it was to onlookers, to Jeb it was beautiful. He polished it every day until it shone like a new silver dollar. The windshield glis- tened in the sung the upholsteiy was spot- less, the floor, immaculateg and even the running board was brushed free of every clinging speck of mud. The painstaking care which Jeb lavished on the car seemed odd to many, for Jeb himself was not the tidiest of men. His hair and beard, such as they were, never saw a comb, the meager gray locks stood up crookedlyg his beard was tangled and stained by tobacco. His toothless mouth was going incessantly, and people often speculated on the amount of his weekly tobacco bill. Jeb's wardrobe boasted of two suits, both of navy blue, both baggy and wrinkled, both of ancient cut, and both tattered and patched until it was be- coming increasingly difficult to determine the original style at all. Yet, in spite of his ragged, uncouth appearance, people loved him. He was prophet supreme. He predicted every- thing from the morrow's weather to the marriages between the young people of the town. He was a favorite at parties, at picnics, and around the fountain in the drug store because of his inexhaustible collection of stories of all kinds and of varying degrees of probability. He knew everything about everybody, and for that reason was welcomed into the best homes. He danced with all the pretty ladies, joked with the young men, paid pretty and courtly compliments to the spiinsters, helped here and there, and willingly worked for people who were unable to do their chores for themselves. Although he had neither sympathy nor a kind word foi a loafer, his own place fell to decay, and his garden produced even more weeds be- cause of his indolence. - Early one November day, frosty and tingly as it is only proper that November should be, Jeb was notified of his brother's untimely demise. Jeb's sister-in-law had preceded her husband by several months, Ccontinued on page 579 THE KEYSTONE 49 THE STRUGGLE Darkness came swiftly and silently. A lone figure piled branch upon branch until the bright flames of the fire leaped high into the blackness of the night. The three frightened sled dogs crawled closer to the blazing flames and whimpered softly to themselves. The man, new to the ways of the Arctic, learned his mistake too late. He had been warned by the old-timers, far more exper- ienced in this life than he, that to leave the protection of the settlement at this time of famine was unquestionably fatal. The hunger wasn't with the young trader and his dogs. He had an ample supply of frozen fish to last until he reached the next settlement fifty miles to the east. Hunger surrounded him at this very moment as he prepared to make a bed of skins close to the fire. Eyes burned at him from the darkness, and now and then, he thought he could almost see the thin, starved forms of the wolf pack he knew to be within ten feet of his fire. They had been on his trail for the last twenty-five miles of the trip. In the daylight, when the faded sun was overhead, they kept a respectful distance from him, his sled, and his dogs, as they skimmed over the surface of the hard- packed snow. But the Arctic darkness was approaching, when he stopped to make camp. The thin, rangy pack drew close and settled around the fire for the long, seventeen-hour night in the Wilds. The trader drew his three remaining dogs closer to the bright flames of the fire. He had started on this trip with five, large powerful huskiesg but two, unaware of their danger, had allowed themselves to Ccontinued on page 583 LICKIN G STAMPS Now wouldn't you think there would be only one way to lick a stamp? just lick it and stick it on? Well, you'd really be sur- prised! Last Monday, while in the Post Office licking stamps and swallowing their glue, I watched dozens of people lick their stamps, too, and I counted eighteen dif- ferent ways in less than ten minutes. This sudden enlargement of experience interested me so, that I dropped in again on Tuesday and Wednesday and not only discovered many more ways of licking a stamp but was drawn out of the rut I'd fallen into in my own stamp licking. For the first time I realized that I lick stamps exactly the way my grandfather did. Stick tongue well forward, plant stamp squarely in middle of tongue, press down firmly, peel stamp off, lay it firmly on envelope with thumb, and bang down hard with heel of hand. We expected our letters to get there! Three or four times I saw people licking their stamps in such an odd manner that I simply had to have a chat with them. However, I confined most of my enthusi- asm to making short notes on an extra Christmas card envelope, notes that no- body but me could possible understand, such as, kitten, contraption, magician, radiator, Mrs. Wrigglesworth, etc. Cue words to remind me how different people licked their stamps. One lady held her stamp in both hands and lapped at it like a kitten. A tall man ta scientist, maybej took a contraption like a trick pencil i out of his pocket, pressed a little plunger and moistered his stamp. Ccontinued on page 67 J Banks, Pauline .

Who am I to say differently? But naturally, there are a few flies in the ointment. Take us women for instance. Not as Hies, but some of the things we have to put up with shouldn't happen to a dog! In our town we have a certain boy who is a horrid pest. Sometimes we wonder just what his mental capacity is! Say, he's just turning into Alice Smith's yard. Wow, there's going to be fireworks now! Aliceee! K6 Hummf ' Aliceee! cc Huh? Seems to me Ronald could stay home for two minutes and let normal peo- ple alone. Heaveris, he's such a sissy! Well, I'm in for it. Say, Alice is a little upset, isn't she? Guess we would be, too. If you could see the object of her contention, you wouldn't wonder. He wouldn't be so bad if he we1en't so affected, but right now he has all the pep and appeal of a wet string of spaghetti. Of course, his being so nosey doesn't help matters any. Every time any of us girls has a letter, he practically pours himself down our necks to see what's in it. If he'd only blow his nose. Some of the things that are put on this earth to torture us poor females! About now, this modern, poor man's Adonis is making his way down the path to the rose arbor. Alice is in for a nice pleasant afternoon. I can see that! Alice slam.s her book shut. Well, what do you want? Now, is that any way to treat the man in your life? It certainly is since I'm having a rather difficult time in deducing whether or not you belong to the homo sapiens tribe. Now, Alkie, is that nice? Listen, you overdressed clothes-horse, if you call me Alkie again, I'll bust you right on the nose! Rather astonished at this spirited out- burst, lover boy backs up quite hurriedly. Oh, heck! I didn't mean any harm. What are you getting all fussed up for? Never mind, I'll excuse you this time, but don't let it happen again. Well, that's right nice of you. Real white, I should say. A- Say, what are you over here for anyway? No one invited you certainly. They don't have to. My irresistible self is always welcome. But I really did have a purpose in coming. I wanted to know if you'd seen that ducky little dress in Fernald's window. The drape! The length! Ma Cherie, it is exquisite! Say, Adrien, don't you ever get tired of chasing women's styles? Oh, nog more power to me, I say. 'Specially when there's a woman in them. E'Gad, man, you're impossible. Why don't you go home like a good boy. I'm sure your mother would like you to pin up her hem, or something. Oh, Alice, how can you send me away when my heart is bleeding for you? I always thought there was something a bit drippy about you. How can you jest in the face of my eternal love? You are heartless.

Jeb was the only relative, and to him was bequeathed an immense fortune of several million dollars. On receiving the news, J eb's usually whimsical face blanchedg his eyes starefl glassilyg his jaw hung limp 3 his quid fell from his quivering lips to the floor. A broad grin spread over his faceg hysterical laughter gripped him and shook him un- controllably while visions of money, stacks and stacks of it, of clothes, a house with electricity, and especially a new car surged through his brain. Jeb went away, locking his front door and hanging on it, as a sign to any passers- by of its abandonment, a huge copper padlock. He was gone for years, and the town missed seeing his fantastic vehicle speeding down the mud-rutted roads and hearing his cracked voice spinning out tales of strange and fanciful happenings. The town's attention was taken up, howevei, by the building of an immense and towering mansion on the most prized plot of land in the county. No one knew the ownerg but one day they saw a large, expensive, foreign car purr up to the door, and a chauffeur open the door in his usual superior way for the occupants to alight. The man, who stepped down, we have seen before g yet scarcely a soul who knew him would have recognized the clean shaven face, the withered lips stretched to normal again by a set of pearly white teeth, the entire aspect one of tidiness and worldly culture. It was indeed Jeb. He was superb. His clothes were tailored to perfection. Enormous shoulder pads had brazenly exterminated the accustomed slouch in his posture. The crease of his trousers would have defied a razor's edge.

Two dogs could hardly supply the want of this pack, it was so desperate for food, that it ventured within ten feet of man and fire. -The night was spent in uneasiness and without much sleep. As the man dozed now and then, the bravest, and probably the hungriest of the pack, inched their way closer and closer. The dogs whim- pered and then cried aloud. The man awoke barely in time to replenish the smoking embers of the dying fire. Two days and two nights passed in ter- ror and suspense. The man, alone now, without companion or dogs, sat close to the smouldering ashes. His head rested upon his hands and he closed his eyes, ex- hausted, and waited. The struggle for life ended, he slept. -P'rz'scz'lla Beals '49 The House Qconlj lay upon it, and he beckoned me to come nearer. As he did so, I noticed his thin white hand, which contained a small black leather case. Without saying a word he opened it, and the face of a laugh- ing woman lay before me.

'You are my twin brother, and now that I am dying, I can no longer hold this secret.

But now her eyes were wide, drinking in the grandeur of her surround- ings, her precise mouth, open in a mixture of pleasure and amazement, her elaborate- ly coiffured head, turning this way and that, endeavoring to see it all. So it was that Jeb came home, dazzling the countryside with his lately acquired magnificence. He and his wife, for so the stylish lady was, dwelt in the splendid mansion alone save for servants. The town was amused and horror struck, for everyone felt sure that such vainglorious living would be the downfall of their be- loved Jeb. However, it could not last. Jeb and his wife quarreled frequently and vehemently. Two who had lived so long alone could never adjust their ways to each other. It became worse and worse, until one day late in August, a very indignant woman was seen driving at a furious rate from the house never to return. A divorce suit followed, and Jeb, in his generous heart, forfeited his estate. His ncansion given to a worthy charity organi- zation, his belongings and entire fortune turned over to his ex-wife, Jeb returned to his old home. His rickety vehicle stood in the weed-ridden yard, mudstained, win- dows cracked, and the tires gone com- pletely. The horse, too, had disappear ed, vsithered away entirely by neglect and old age. The house stared starkly, its broken windows gaping, the doorstep sagging and broken. Jeb returned to his old ways. His teeth he tucked away in a seldom used drawer, his fine clothes stuffed, along with pillows CCOntz'nued on Page 691 l BERRIE'S Diamonds Appliance 1 Radio Belfast Bucksport ' ' .

I'm lonely for the rock-strewn shores, The smell of seaweed and pine, I'm lonely for the wild surf's roar, And the air like tangy wine. I'm. lonely for the voyages yarns, Of Key West, the Banks and Spain. I'm lonely for the infinite charms Of m.y native state of Maine.

We entered there with usual graces, With smiles, glowing on our faces But the seniors, us they chased Sometimes, in a heated race. After all the fun had ended, And our ways, they saw we mended. We to our own business, tended, Till our work, we all had suspended. Now we are prepared to rise Up in triumph, to the skies. Triumph made with truth, not lies: Triumph made with work, not sighs. !Carl Blake '49 TIES THAT BIND US From the depths of love and kindness, From. the mirror of ill fateg There are cei tain ties that bind us, Poorand rich, reserved, sedate. Watch a person at his working, Watch him hurry home at night. Not from work is this man shirking, There's a meaning in his flight. lt's those certain ties that bind us, And we cherish them., each one, For without those ties to bind us, We are homeless4life is done. ---Patricia Collins '49 SLEEP Close your eyes, my darling, rest.
