THE HAVERLINGUIST ERNEST BLISS Er11est, you should have decided to graduate with us sooner, so that we could have had your picture and an account of you in our book. JOHN HOXVARD HEXVLETT Howard decided he didn't want his picture in the Haverlinguist. Bashfulness is the only accountable reason, He loves the lowland's rocks and rills, The mountain lakes of silver sheen. A native of the wooded hills, And meadows. too, of grasses green Far from the bustle of the city strife, He wends his quiet way. When safe from the haunts of parlor life, Contented there he'll stay. ,., bxwgb G., Y-I J 17. we 4 - T-Ls 9 Q .xxx-u ffl L-' HHN

V i zo THE HAVERLINGUIST Sczlutazfory Wilson Sutlon FRIENDS, TEACHERS, CL.xssM,x'rEs: It is indeed an honor and a pleasure for the Class of 1923 to extend to each one of you the heartiest welcome herepthis afternoon. For a time we were in doubt whether we were to have our Class Day: and when the old building was finally torn down we were at a loss as to where this glorious event should take place. But, all things come to those who wait. So we waited-and. at length. were fortunate enough to secure this worthy place. b It has always been the custom in days gone by. to welcome under the walls of Old Haver- ling.

This Class Day brings to us the realization that we are about to step out into the world and be measured wholly on our own merits. But we are not unprepared for this struggle. for. guided by our far-seeing teachers. we have been laying the foundations for our future careers. And these careers will depend largely upon the manner we have laid our founda- tions: the stronger these are. the more successful we shall be. , But this afternoon we should not dwell on serious matters for the long, weary strain of four years of study is at an end and this is an occasion of pleasure rather than pensive- ness. XV e welcome you again to our Class Day exercises and earnestly hope that you, the Class of '24, may have the gratification of holding your graduation exercises in the new school. ey ration Francis Davis Cinxss or 1924, Maoaxr PRESIDENT: From time immemorial, twenty-nine years ago. it has been the custom for the outgoing class to hand this Key of Knowledgeu down to its immediate successors. This is done in the hope that in their last year they may obtain a little of the education a high school student is supposed to acquire. To be perfectly frank we have not used this key Q did not have toj. Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers, according to the poet. XVhich, being interpret- ed, seems to mean that book-learning does not always guarantee horse sense. For example. let me point out one or two instances where you have already shown a lack of common sense. A little wisdom would have plainly shown the class that the sheriff would not be inter-
