DEDICATION P.F.C. HARVEY LOVETT Born May 27, 1924 Died October 1943 T is with loving memory that we dedi- cate this issue of the Phillipian to Harvey, who died on the battlefield Oct. 1943. ln school he always gave his best for P. H. S. As a Marine he gave his life for his country. His faithfulness, loyalty, and devotion to a great cause will always be an inspiration to those of us who knew him best. Harvey came to us from Georgia, and made his home with his sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Robert McLeary. His happy, sunny disposition and pleasing personality soon made him a favorite among the stu- dents. He was very fond of all athletics and in spite of his many outside duties, he 7 always found time to represent the school in all of these activities. He was a member of the best cross coun- try team to ever represent Phillips High School. And he ran well in both the New England and National meets. ln football and basketball he played a fast, scrappy game and he always lived up to his motto, Play the game clean and hard.

2 THE PHILLIPIAN In speaking and dramatics he was very clever. His ready wit and southern dialect always made a great hit. Harvey left us at the end of his third year to join the U. S. Marines. That he lived up to the tradition and great record established by the Marines is very clearly proved by the following letter received from his Commanding Officer. Feb. 15, 1943 I Dear Mrs. Duncan: We all were deeply grieved at the un- timely death of your brother, Pfc. Benjamin Harvey Lovett. But, as is necessary in time of war, none of us who knew him could ex- press our sympathy to you until we knew definitely, through your letter of Dec. 20th, that you had been officially informed of his death. I know you are proud to have had a fine man and soldier like Harvey representing you, your family, and your country in this great task we have at hand. Knowing him as long as I have been in the Marine Corps, I have found him to be quite a remarkable individual. The work was constantly diffi- cult and exhausting, but he never failed to do more than his share of it. And, at the same time, he could laugh and joke and keep his fellow marines in good spirits. To com- bine unquestionably hard work with high morale is a great achievement, and Harvey achieved it. He was a fine young man with an excellent record. He died doing his duty, while in action, keeping vital communication lines open un- der severely trying conditions. And, you must believe me when I say that he suffered none. I-Iarvey's friends, both officers and men, and I want you to know that you have our deepest sympathy in your great loss. I-Ie died in a noble cause that must sadly take some of us from this world. But never will it have been in vain. Harvey's work, his inspiration, and his loyalty to an ideal greater than any of us will always live on. Sincerely yours, Alin F. Dill, lst Lt.
