McKee FOREWGRD The Editorial, Business, and Art Boards present to you, the class of 1951, the second edition of the Wilbur L. Cross Classbook. This volume is the first to bear the title, Crossroads, This title was chosen to replace Sachem, the name which headed many classbooks of Commercial High School. This title was chosen for two reasons. First, it commemorates the man for whom the school was renamed. Secondly, it reminds us that we have come to a decisive moment in our lives. Literally, we are at the cross- roads of life. We are at the crossroads not only of our own lives but also of the world. Unrest and confusion beset the world of today and important decisions must be made to determine whether tyrants or free men shall rule. We, as citizens of tomorrow, must aid in making that decision. For the first time in the history of the school, students will graduate who have majored in the technical arts, music, nursing, and college preparatory courses. These students must build a reputation for Wilbur Cross not only in the various universities and colleges which some will attend, but also in the many factories, hospitals, and business offices where others will be employed. As a comprehensive high school Wilbur Cross has yet to set its standards and prove itself second to none among the high schools of the country. However, with the caliber of Cross's students being what it is, we should have little trouble establishing a fine record for the school. We have tried to establish this edition of Crossroads as a standard which can be followed by the many editions to follow. We hope in the years to come this book will recall memories not only of the school, but also of the many delightful hours which we enjoyed throughout our high school days. Only you, looking over your book in future years, can tell us if Crossroads is a success.
