X Q X '. a Q 'V ,R As the bird trims her to the gale, I trim myseh' to the storm of timel' As we seniors prepare to leave Crosby, we pause to capture a thoughUul look at the changing times for which we are trimming ourselves. We see perilous politics, saliric society, and reckless religion menacingly looming at us. It is very ddficult for us to fit our small pieces into the huge, confusing puzzle of modern time. We are proud to present this Keystone as a memorial to our first step in tun- ing ourselves to the times. My v W fwwmwi s. iisswwlx v . NA he 1 95 f, f Q,yWHm!Q 1- , X,g, ff- gf -Fl If ,V Th. ,, .

EDITORIALS TEACH US TO LIVE This year, as in years past and as it will be in the future, young men and women are graduating from high schools all over this country. They have successfully passed their scholastic requirements. For many of these young people this will be the extent of their formal education. Le- gally they are sufficiently educated to take their places in their community. But are they? Have these brief years of schooling insti led in them the most essential quality they will need in their future life? Do they know how to cooperate: how to get along with people? Do they have consid- eration of the other persong do they know the meaning of compromise? Our whole universe is built on coopera- tion. No man, no community, no country is self-sufficient. Few are the products produced or the aflfticles manufactured by any one person or one group of persons. For example, much, of the cotton which is grown in the South is-freighted to northern factories to be woven into fabrics. Iron, mined in Eastern 'Minnesota, must be shipped through the Great Lakes to cities in Illinois and other states where the coal for smelting can be brought to meet it. Thus it is with all other enterprises. When the majority of the workers in one factory desires a change in conditions and goes on a strike to obtain these chang- es, it isn't just that one plant that is af- fected. Other factories, dependent upon materials from the closed plant, must halt work. Retailers cannot supply the finished product for which the consumer asks. Often as in the case of fuel, steel or com- munication lines, this strike becomes a serious impediment to the welfare of all the people in the nation. Other nations may even be drawn into it. Continued on page 63 pagz eight THE PROBLEM OF TIME Time always brings a vast number of problems that we as future citizens must conscientiously prepare ourselves to over- come. We must face the issues of preju- dice, crime, poverty, war, and all the other social evils that are awaiting us. The world has advanced at a rapid pace, and we are forced to get in step with it or fall in our own snare of ignorance. Each problem must be solved by thoughtful study and careful consideration, which come from a well-laid foundation of edu- cation. Therefore, education is never a waste of time, for each new thing learned is a new step in the advancement of one's life Through ingorance did the people of the Middle Ages live in constant jeopardy of their lives. We pride ourselves in having advanced greatly since that dark period, yet our lives are still made unsafe by con- centrated accomplishments in the develop- ment of destructive weapons Ignorance may still be said to prevail for war does not appear between two well-educated and wise peopleg and certainly an H-Bomb is not designed to pave a road of Peace. We cannot help feeling confused and fearful in taking our places in this world of prodigious problems, but we are hopeful that we may make our part of the world a better place in which to live by keeping abreast of the times and doing our share of sensible reasoning on provocative sub- jects.

We take our tinfe, but we have been prominent during the entire year in all activities of the school. Our class, in the tradition of all junior classes, sponsored the Junior Prom. We are proud to boast that Red Nickerson, a junior, was high scorer in football with four touchdownsg and our president, Bud Smith, was high scorer in basketball with two hundred points in seventeen games. Many other members participated in dramatics, prize speaking, cheerleading, glee clubs, and athletics.

ORCHESTRA The orchestra this year has made many public appearances, including the spring concert, P. T. A. meetings. as- semblies, school plays, and the music festival. Although the group is small, only twenty-five members in all, it has made a fine showing under Mr. Lewis's able leadership. - GLEE CLUB The Glee Club this year consists of eighty-five very active members. As usual, the highlight of the year was the Eastern Maine Music Festival held in Augusta. This trip was financed by the Annual Choral Concert, which was held in March. pagitwcrzly-c1'ghL MAKE MINE MUSIC MEMORIES VVEARERS OF THE C The senior wearers of the Crosby C earned their letters in sports and music.

With their snappy cheers and cute uniforms they led the student body in cheering our athletic teams on to vic- tory. To raise money for megaphones, the cheerleaders spon- sored a dance and a rummage sale. When the junior Hi basket- ball team Went into action a new group of cheerleaders appeared. The Junior Hi should be proud of their snappy cheering squad. These girls worked out their own cheers and delivered them in that enthusiastic Junior Hi style. MY HERO This year's football team was not very heavy, but it had plenty of speed and the necessary know how . There were eight veterans from the preceding year, but only four seniors were among them. The captain was Francis jenness. The '49 season provided experience for many boys, so they will be that much better another year. The Lions won three games and lost five. They will bear watching in the following years.

Web BASKET Yeah team! That was the cry of the gold and blue cheerleaders as the Lions plowed to a very successful season. By winning eleven games and losing only six, Crosby had one of its best seasons in recent years. Playing good ball from beginning to end, the Crosby basketeers missed a tournament berth by only one point. The team was led by the capable services of Bud Smith and Shep Jenness. Bud was the high scorer with 200 points in 17 games. The school looks forward to next year, as the club loses only two men by graduation. The Jayvees also had a great season. They really brought the rooters to their feet with their spectacular shoot'ng and fine passing. Their over-all record was fifteen wins and one loss. With this fine showing, the jayvees will bear watching in the years to come, as they are Crosby's future material.

The '49 season marked the Iirst time in many a moon that any team from Crosby has gone to a tournament. The Lions were victorious in their first round game with Hampden, beating the Broncos 2-0. Then' came the quarter- final game with Madison. Crosby put up a keen battle but were beaten 7 - 4. Randy Ellis was the big sticker of the year with a 364 average.

Day In, Day Out How would four school operate without the trusty Idaily notices to keep us posted on the current activities of each day or Nellie to deliver them with her usual smile? LITERARY TELL ME A STGRY PETE VERSUS ARCHIBALD Pete Randall walked hurriedly, brush- ing through the crowds of people, as he made his way through the gymnasium in Stevens High School, His dark wavy hair hung limply over his forehead, and beads of perspiration had formed on his face. He was tall, and he had the handsome expressive face that made him the idol of the girls of Stevens High. Dressed in a bright red sweater, he was easily seen through the rest of the crowd. He slid past the older basketball addicts, who were very disgusted with the game, and found himself confronted with several girls. These girls were his most ardent fans, and they tried to sympathize by say- ing how sorry they were about the game. Pete shrugged his shoulders and broke away from them. With bitterness he opened the door, and walked into the night where he was alone with his thoughts. The streets were covered with a feathery snow which glistened in the light of the full yellow moon. The twinkling stars winked at Pete, but he didn't see them, for he was thinking. He stopped beside a streetlight and hauled out of his pocket a piece of paper. On it were the words Championship Game, Stevens vs. Towle, and near the top of the line-up, Pete Randall, right forward. With one sickening glance he crushed the paper and threw it into the snow. His mind then went back to the last quarter of the basketball game when there had been only a few seconds of playing time left, and the score had been 32-31, Towle's favor. Jim Smith, a guard had Conlinued on page 55 THE CHANCE OF A LIFETIME It was five o'clock--the rush hour in Fordam Street Station. Old Ned Simp- son, a stranger to the city, stood by the information booth in the cold unfriendly station, gazing iizteitly at the hustling throngs. Within a few minutes a harsh voice called over the loud-speaker, Train leaving on Track Five for Forbes Street, Grand Street, Jefferson Street, West End Avenue, and Dover Station. In a few minutes the station was deserted, and the giant gates clattered shut. All was quiet. As Ned turned slowly to leave, he heard the muffled sobs of a child This sound touched the heart of the old farmer. How well he remembered the day when his little granddaughter was taken away from the sunny household where the three of them had lived so happily together. Wh en his daughter died, there had been nothing to do with little Cindy but to take he: to the Orphan Home in the city. How she had kicked and cried when the matron took her away. That was two long years ago, and he hadn't seen her since. Old Ned tried to comfort the child with no avail. Every time he would put out his hand to help, she would shy away, only to cry louder than before. Finally he calmed her enough to lead her to the fountain at the other end of the station. There he gave her a cup of hot cocoa, which she managed to swallow between choked sobs. Soon she smiled happily and said, You're good to me Now I'm not cold any more. Ned had hoped that this little girl could have been his own granddaughter, but he knew that was impossible. Little Cindy Conlinued on page 58 page forty-u ne' THE UNFINISHED My story has a beginning as all stories must but this has no ending, yet. My story began on a cold, clear day in Sep- tember of 1948. This day I walked to a nice quiet place where I could think. Along the shore and around the point of land I hurried, all the while my thoughts going back to the unfinished mystery of my past. An evil doer always comes back to the scene of the crime, is very often quoted and I had almost committed a crime here, but fate stepped in and brought more ruin to me. I was very angry at the time: I com- mitted this crime and I do not feel sorry. No, I'm not insane, and I don t believe anyone my age is. If I were insane, how could I have carried out my plans, so carefully fit together and put into action? Living most of my life with my father and mother I was very happy, until, after the death of my father, my mother re- married. Ever since then I have plotted to hurt mother as she had hurt me. In my mind formed the most sinister of plans. This particular afternoon I was down on the point looking for shells for a biology assignment when I decided to make a test. I went screaming toward the house, saying to my stepfather, Dad, come look over the cliff, and help me get my dog, he has fallen into the water! This he did and I had a chance to fulfill my wicked plan, but I decided to wait awhile. The minute had arrived, my stepfather was having supper. Not knowing that my mother was going to return from the store when she did, I thought I had completed the perfect crime when I turned on the gas jets. Soon I grew tired of waiting and went to a friend's house for a little while. When I arrived home I was in for the shock of my life and a sudden change in my plans. As I opened the door, I won- dered why I could still smell gas and could C01'ZfZ'7ZZl?d on page 64 fungi' forty-ffcvf THE BEST 'TEACHER I don't know why young gals now-a- days can't take the advice of their elders. Now you take my young 'un, Milly. I've told 'er more 'n once that the city was no place for a country-bred gal like her. But do you think she'd listen to me? Why, I guess not! She was gonna make her for- tune, she was, an' no one could tell 'er diffrunt. Wall, sir, the day she decided to take off, I said to 'er, I said, Milly don't ever belittle the experience of yore elders, I says. I remember the time when I was a young fella, I thought I was gonna make good in the city. Yes, sir, I says, ' yore ma about had a fit 'cause I was leavin'. She thot I'd marry one o' them city galsg an', to tell the truth, so did I. Wall, I hadnlt been in New York long before I met a right pritty gal by the name of Sally. She shur was Cute, with blond curly hair and al painted up like a new barn, an' I thot I had the gal o' my dreams. I courted her every Friday night for about three weeks, an' every time took 'er out to Joe's Diner for a hot dog. Then she'd want to go to some dancin' hall, but o' course, I never had the money, so I convinced her it'd be cooler in a movie show. One Wednesday night, I thot I'd sur- prise 'er by goin' to her home and havin' 'er make us both a meal. Why, I planned to pop the question that nighti 'cause I do love a home-cooked meal. Now, being from the country, I natchrally use the back door, and I was goin' to then. But just as I was about to knock, I notitel the trash can. It was plum full o' cans of all sorts an' deescriptions. Right then an' there, I thot o' Mirandy and how delish- ious her cooking was. I struck out o' there on a dead run, hopped a bus, and the minute I got home I ran over to Mirandy and asked her to marry me. Continued on page 51 PEN PALS 143 Milton Avenue Brockton, Pennsylvania November 10, 1949 Dear ,I une, just a line to let you know I'm still alive and kicking. I guess it's been quite a while since I received your last letter but we've been having some excitement around here lately and I've been pretty busy. Do you remember that old Houlton house up on that hill behind our house? It hasn't been used for years. Remember how crooked and weather-beaten it looksg and lonesome too, sitting there on that rock with only one tree near itg a pine at that in the corner of what used to be a fenced in yard? I guess it isn't so bad that it couldn't be fixed up but no one has ever bothered. A favorite forfeit among our gang, to really scare a kid, was to send him up there alone, with no light, to fetch a piece of plaster from its crumbling walls. That's exactly the forfeit my o. a. o. and I Qmy former o a. o. as you shall seej found ourselves stuck with last Halloween Night. Why? We were late to Kay's party. Now if you remember correctly, the windows and doors are all boarded, bolted and barred and to get at the plaster you have to crawl in a back cellar window, feel your way across the damp dirt floor and up the stairs into what was the kitchen fthe door is gonel. There the plaster is falling and you can easily snitch a piece and then get out as fast as you can. Well, Dcki and I were trudging up the hill, hand in hand. There was a full moon but it was right behind the house, giving it a very queer silhouette-like appearance. I stumbled and fell. I looked to see why. Dick, I exclaimed, These are truck ruts I fell over! Poof, ' he laughed, how would a truck get up here? I didn't know either so we went on. Still it did look kind of queer. Then a tingle ran up my spine and right back down. From the dark mass ahead of us seemed to come a low grumbling and shaking. Dick, I cried, WI admit I'm a sissy. Now please let's go back. Oh come on, he said, 'fit's only thun- der. So hanging tightly to his coat and not overly enjoying the expedition, I followed him around the corner of the house and to the cellar window. Well, we made it through the cellar window o. k. and started across the Hoor. Then, like an irresistible force meeting an immovable object, I ran smack into an old ash barrel. Well of all the noise. Dick picked me up again, dusted me off and stood me on the cellar stairs. I start- ed up with him following. We climbed step by step until I met a solid wall. Dick,', I shivered, this isn't right. We're on the wrong stairs. We must be. This seems to be the end. l'Here let me . . Dick started to say when we both held our breath in terror. On the other side of the partition the floor crashed from the weight of an approaching body. A key clicked-the partition moved toward meeand the next thing I knew I was hurled down stairs and landed head first in the ash barrel. Dick, Dick, I screamed. But all I heard was a howl of fright, the sound of a person crawling through a window and running like mad. I knew he had deserted me. I was terri- fied. The fright, or the bump on my head, or perhaps the fact that I was upside down in the ash barrel caused me to pass out. When I awoke, I was lying on a cot. There was a lantern on a box beside me and a man was leaning over me. Well, to make a long story short, it turned out that the old place had been sold to a family named Teeds.

He had planned to spend the night and his family was to join him the next day. After I had explained he laughed and laughed. He wasn't a bit mad but what was the best news to me was that he had a son, eighteen, named William CBill Teeds. Isn't that cutej. You see, I was now out one fine boy friend. Although Dick said he had just gone to get help, I couldn't get over the fact that he was really a coward. He was yellow. He had left me in the lurch when I needed him the most, and him a football star too! Well, Bill Teeds is the Captain of the basketball team now. He's tall and blond and as handsome as anything.

It's Bill and Peggy for good now. How have you been, June? I was sorry to hear that your boy friend had to move. Where was he going? Did they find a house? Gee, the housing shortage is bad here, too. I feel for you two, having to part and all, but if he's as good as you say he is, he'll be loyal just the same. Say, what was his name anyhow? Well, I must close, it's getting late.

Then Jim had stood back with complete confidence as Pete shot the ball. With Pete Randall on a lay-up shot, how could you lose? The ball had reached the rim, rolled around, but hadn't gone through. The buzzer had sounded, and the game had ended. Towle had won. Now Pete was walking along Main Street, feeling very low about the whole evening. He saw his own white house before him, and as he walked slowly up the steps he heard someone saying, Archibald, Archibald.

She told him that her name was Jamie and that she had run away from a big house where nobody loved her. Although Ned wanted to take her home with him, he coaxed her into showing him to the place where she had been so sad. Ned fought with his own conscience, and finally decided that the best thing for both of them would be to take the child back to the house where she belonged. The woman, seated at the desk inside, recognized little Jamie and took her into an adjoining room. When she came back, she told Ned that this was a home for or- phans, and she assured him that the children were well taken care of. Ned told her how he thought that this pathetic little girl might have been his own Cindy, but was assured that she wasn't, since Jamie had been left on the doorstep of the orphanage two years before. Old Ned left, promising to come often to visit the little girl, since he would be in town for a few weeks Two weeks later a Mrs Austin called Ned on the telephone. She informed him that she was the woman to whom he had talked at the orphanage. She said that it was most important that he come there as soon as possible. When he arrived, Mrs. Austin told him the whole story. The day before little Jamie had run away, a rich couple named Van Hussen had come to the home and had decided that they would like to adopt her.

She said it was for the child's own well-being. Then Mrs. Austin contacted the couple to conte to sign the plans for the adoption. But in looking back over the records the Van Hussens discovered that Jamie had been sick with scarlet fever, and refused to adopt her. Then Mrs. Austin realized that the only thing to do, so that both Ned and little Cindy would be happy, would be to have Ned, her real grandfather, take her home with him.

To have a pleasant, and general atmosphere, each must show courtesy, consideration, and cooperation to the many others with whom he will have contact. In school, potential citizens should learn the fundamentals of living in a democracy. For many boys and girls, public schools will be their only opportunity to get ex- perience in cooperation before going out on their own. What if the schools em- phasize only the intellectual?

Oh, well, I thought, she has prob- ably met someone and stopped to talk. I dismissed everything else from my mind and sat down to wait for her return. More time passed and I began to get worried about mother. I went into the house and to my horror I saw that not only my stepfather, but my mother was also lying on the floor. I ran to the phone and called my neighbor. The next hour was one of confusion of which I remember nothing or had no feeling of remorse for anyone but my mother. Today, as I look back on what I call an almost perfect crime, I wonder if I will ever have a chance to regret what I have done. Ever since that day I have had no rest, and I fear that my conscience will never let me have any. I have never been bothered by the law, because no one knows but me.
