THE I-IAVERLINGUIST 25 istory of the lass of '23 Laverne Carr Another year has rolled by and we're called upon to write the history of the Class of '23, The class of thirty members organized by electing Francis Davis, President: Elizabeth Bon- sor, Vice Presidentg Bernice Bulkeley, secretary and treasurer: Borden Tharp, Editor-in- Chiefg Dorothy Crocker, Gerald Chilson, assistant editorsg Chester Hults, writer of class willg Kenneth Henderson, prophetg Writer of class song, Esther Allen: class poet, Jennie Polmateerg Elizabeth Bonsor is Valeclictoriang, Wfilson Sutton, Salutatorian. The Charm School was very successfully presented in the Amusement Hall at the Sol- diers' Home on December 26th and 27th, and an unusually large sum of money was realized which will be used to defray the expenses of a week's vacation at Lake Keuka. Immediately following the Easter vacation a senior party was held at VVilkes' Pavilion, while the Juniors stood outside looking in. All strife between the two classes ended with the Junior-Senior Prom, which was the first of its kind ever held, and we hope we have established a precedent that will be followed by future classes. - Looking backward over a period of fifty years, the Class of '73 had the honor of being the first class to graduate from Haverling. So likewise the Class of '23 has the honor of be- ing the last organized class to graduate from Old Haverling. T lass Son' Esther B. Allen Tune- America the Beautiful I. ' II.
