if W HG Q , 4'4' . wr if S Another school year at Harvard, another Review in the making, and another Senior Class is finishing off a few last minute chores in anticipation of even greater things to come. After twelve years of educa- tional achievement, at least exposure, you are, of course, eagerly looking forward to a new challenge and subsequent conquest. On some campus and in some field of learning, you will, each of you as indi- viduals, be able to use what you have in hastening tomorrow's better world for better living. We firmly believe that in that world of tomorrow the ever grow- ing urge for more, but thinner education, will be so great that there will be a place for all types of stu- dents-the dreamer, the worker, the thinker. Within your group there are many who combine these qual- ities most admirably since to them thinking means dreaming about working. May we suggest that college life can be all that you and your friends hope and dream of, providing you can learn now that life on any campus, or any- I HARRY D. PYLE CO-PRINCIPAL where for that matter, is a give and take experience. You must have something to give if, in turn, you ex- pect to receive something. No doubt there is a one best college for you, but don't spend all your time evaluating what this or that college can offer you. When you have selected that college, make sure that you are prepared to take with you the basic essentials-a goodly supply of ambition and eager- ness for work, the tools of learning properly sharp- ened and conditioned, and rnost important of all an unlimited amount of that somewhat rare but still indispensable quality known as good old common sense. One more suggestion. When you pause for a moment at the end of the next educational plateau, be sure that you're the person your many friends. as well as your grandmother think you are, but above all else be sure you're the person that you hope your friends think you are.

LESLIE M. DOI-IR CO-PRINCIPAL Congratulations for the part you have played in establishing the fine athletic record the boys of Harvard have made during the twenty years I have been privileged to direct. I take great pride in the sportsmanship shown by the student body and of the high academic standards maintained throughout our program which once again has proven that high scholarship and good athletics can go hand in hand. It has never been my intention to have an over- emphasized athletic program, but to have a program that emphasizes athletics. I sincerely feel the boys are deserving of having the opportunity to develop themselves to the fullest extent in all fields of educa- tion. Activities should not be thought ot as extra- curricular activities, but as co-curricular activities since they are very essential in the education of a boy. Even though we have participated as one of the smaller schools in the league, our boys have won numerous championships in the major sports, and have won at least one championship in every minor sport. During football seasons of 1947 through 1949, the teams established a record of 21 games without a defeat. In basketball tournament competition, Har- vard has been victorious in two tournament finals and runner-up five times. Throughout the continued development of our athletic and physical education program, we must be mindful of the great importance of our Private School League Sportsmanship Code. hh 5
