Crosby High School
The Waterbury Teachers asso.
citation and Waterbury Principals,
association have arranged q gener-
al program for tho observance Of
American Education Week, No.
vember eth to 18th, 1893. one Of
the suggestions is to inform the
public through newspaper articles
Of the general activities, both ac-
ademic and extra curricular, Of the
local schools.
Crosby high school has always
provided excellent preparation for
entrance to college and normal
school, for positions In industry
and business, and for broad, cul.
tural background based on Eng.
iish. mathematics, ancient and
modern languages, science, and
history. Crosby graduates have en-
/ tVACA aIlu HdNc ulBH
standing In colleges and univers.
Many have earned scholarships, in
numerous colleges one finds our
graduates, year after year, on the
deans list, and honors in specific
subjects are obtained repeatedly.
At present, Crosby Is represented
In practically all the larger colleges
and universities which still insist
on college board examinations as
the basis Of admission, such as
Yale, Harvard, Massachusetts, In
stitute Of Technology, Columbia,
Barnard, Smith, Wellesley, Mt
Holyoke, Hunter, and Albertus
Magnus. Moreover, we still retain
the certificate privilege of the New
England Association Of Colleges
and Secondary Schools composed
of Amherst, Bates, Boston Univer-
sity, Bowdoin, Brown, Colby, Mass.
Agricultural Middlebury Tufts,
Wesleyan, and Williams. The Ger.
tificate privilege Of this highly Sc
lect group of New England col.
leges affords us an opportunity to
recommend our graduates for ad.
mission without further examin.

The present registration here 10
about 1850 students. For many of
these young people who will be un.
able to attend institutions Of high.
er learning and for others who
will be unable to remain even for
graduation, we offer q general
course Of broad academic training
supplemented with drawing, art,
music, cooking, sewing, and phys.
ical education. The extra.curric. |
ular activities continue to expand
along normal lines and continue to |
attract student membership which
Is eager to assume the duties and
responsibilities Of leadership.
In athletics, football, baseball,
track, swimming, and girls sports
remain very successful. The Ar.
gus, the Rifle, Debating, and Art
clubs offer q varied program to our
student body. The Crosby band

and the Freshman club, "Props

popular. The Modern Language |
clubs, French, 0orman, Italian,

Occupations, and Physics clubs
complete our large number Of or. |
CARNATIONS which provide us with |
an excellent form Of pupil cooper.

Crosby student body.
Another suggestion for American |
Education week IL to consider |
Tuesday, November 7th as Visiting
day--the day on which the people |
are especially invited to como to |
see our schools In action. In re. |
cent years there has been q
marked increase In the number Of |
parents who visit Crosby high |
school for consultation with teach
ers and for discussion Of student
problems. No longer do mothers
and fathers walt for official notice |
from the school that q son or u
daughter needs some adjustment In |
course, advice In the selection Of q
subject, choice Of college, or even
some disciplinary matter. We feel
that visits to school are extreme.
ly worthwhile and should increase
In number, for success In school
work Is attained mainly through
the cooperation, interest, and sac.
rifices Of the family. Secondary
education for our young people is
more essential to-day than ever,
for preference Is given to the high
school boy and girl In competition
for even the ordinary position.
Though we still maintain stand.
ard college preparatory, classical,
technical, and general courses, edu.
cational methods have changed In
many respects, class organization
