FOREWORD The task to which we have dedicated ourselves in the pages that follow is not to be thought of lightly, nor has it been assumed by us that it was one of little responsibility. For to us has been given the sacred privilege of recording for ourselves and posterity a complete episode in the life of a great institution, of enthroning upon the pedestal of time a statue to the measureless joys of youth and the incalculable benefits of a High School life. To our brothers in the bonds of Carver who have gone on before — these pages must re- awaken in your memories which are at once, bitter and sweet, happy and sad. To those of us who yet remain within these sacred portals — they must bring the realization that we are heirs to a fortune which is immune alike to the ravages of time and the avarice of man. To you who must come after us — may they serve to instill in your hearts that love for our school that must characterize the life of every true Carverite.
