Its brick walls rising high and fair: To bless the land with hand and brain, Through days of heat and days of cold, Through winter-'s white and autumn's gold, Morning and noon its bell has Hung The message out with earnest tongue. Come to I-Iaverling, To I-Iaverlingf' To Held and pulpit, court and mart, To letters, science, state craft, art, , And often fond thoughts backward fare To red walls rising broad and square.

Those ivied walls are in the dust, All things must pass 'The old school must, That from its ruins, stately wise A newer I-Iaverling may rise: But this is '23's proud prayer. God keep our lives high, broad and square, Like Haverling, Old Haverlingf' 3 Junior loss istory Frances Dudley If you will look back at the classes that have been successful in the preceding years in I-Iaverling High School you will notice that they all seem to end with an even number.

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.

Everybody turned out at the inter-class ball game, which we easily won from the lofty Seniors. The next day the banner of purple and gold floated from the flagstaif. 'All the strife which may have been harbored in the hearts of our older classmates was brought to an end by the junior-Senior Prom, held at Vtlilkes' Pavilion. W'e, the Juniors, sincerely hope that, profiting by the mistakes the Seniors have made, we will have better success next year. e unior lass Song Margaret Convery Tune-Solomon Levi I. - g II. iOh! Here the little Juniors are, Oh! See the noble Seniors The mighty Seniors say. Stand with high and lofty air, But think how very small they were To-morrow how they'll quake with fear A year ago to-day. And wish they were not there. Our colors bright we'll wave high, And then we'll rejoice to see The purple and the gold, Their wisdom put to test. And sing hurrah to '24, For though they have looked down on us The brightest class e'er told. VVe're coming out the best. CHORUS: Oh! The jolly little Juniors, Tr la la la la Oh!
