Z4 THE HAVERLINGUIST lass istory Elizabeth Tate At the beginning of the fall term Mr. Vanderhoef called all those who were qualified to join the Senior Class together for the purpose of organizing. Needless to say, a most distinguished company was soon assembled in Miss lVeaver's room. The following officers were elected: Pres- ident, Ellen Leeg vice-president, Josephine McCall, secretary. Viola Jenkins: treasurer, Vlfarreu Miller: poet. Tommy Hitchcock: writer of will, Smith Wfhiteg editor, John VanDuseng prophet, Katherine Ehle: historian, ,Elizabeth Tate. The intelligence of the class turned out to be Mar- jorie Harris and Josephine McCall, Valedictorian and Salutatorian, respectively. lVe also voted to change our class colors to red and white and selected for our motto, Facta Non Verba, Being of studious bent, we didn't care especially for parties. and like things of the more frivolous nature. so we didn't occupy ourselves in the pursuit of good timesvand parties which have been traditional since time immemorial. No, we didn't very often have parties-but when we did-well, the Seniors and the Sophomores had 21 Weiner roast down at Adanfs camping ground and then afterwards adjourned to lVilkes' to dance. Everyone had a nice f?j time. But the less said about that the better. Mr. Krouse informed us that the Science department was in dire distress and the only pos- sible help for it was the purchase of a new projection lantern to take the place of the old one. ll' e were, of course, very much concerned and offered our services. lVe gave a supper, a bake sale and several dances after basketball games and soon earned the required amount of money entirely to relieve the department of its distress. , Now we are planning for Prom and are already assured of its being overwhelmingly suc- cessful. Thus endeth the story of this, the Class of '26. lass oem Evelyn Hitchcock For four short years we've toiled with thee. . In rain or shine, our hearts care free: .-Xnd now that we are here at last, lt seems as though they've gone too fast. XYe've fought thy battles, lost and won: .And learned to smile when day is .done. But now that weyre about to leave, lV e know that we should never grieve But meet our battles with a smile, Knowing they are all worth while. 1 And to Miss Brunclage. dear, lVho taught us through our first short year, And to Miss Sedgwick, too, lVho kept us feeling bright and new, lVe owe a rising vote of thanks- ' fllfoping theyill forgive our prankslji ll'e'll miss you, Haverling so true, And ever near the white and blue, For when we all are old and gray, Everyone of us will say, To Haverling we owe today l

26 THE HAVERLINGUIST omior Class istory . Joseph Di C andia 1 OCYOUCT 1. 1925. the most industrious class of juniors ever united. in the history of the new school building, was called together by Mr. Vanderhoef. Mr. Vanderhoef, the enterprising man that he is, changed several things, in this, his iirst year as our Principal. Among them was the organization of classes as soon as school opened in the fall. Accordingly, the husky junior Class was in its turn organized. Mr. Everett fBarneyj Meade was unanimously chosen president, with Gladys tPulmotorj Pohnanteer as yice-presi- dent. So. to till out the list, Kenneth tlienj Murphy was chosen, secretary and Useapingj Lena DeGrot'f, treasurer Cnot that we needed anyl. Before the Easter vacation we chose our colors. After a hot discussion we tinally agreed upon purple and gold. The color tights between the Junior and Senior classes were soon started. The poor Seniors did not have a show against the husky Juniors. For every boy in the Senior class, there 'were three Juniors. This was the reason why the Seniors did not have a chance. Un the night of March 26, which happened to be the night of the Physical Training Exhi- bition, the juniors decorated the town with purple and gold. The upper classmen fso-called Seniorsj tried to out-wit the Juniors by placing their colors Qwhich were red and whitej on the Hag pole surmounting the roof of the school building, Aiplucky junior climbed a ladder and placed the junior colors in place of the Senior. Mr. Xklilliam Gunderman wondered where his ladder disappeared to the next morning. CAsk the Seniors, Wlillj. This same night the Juniors assembled under the town clock. The Seniors congregated in front of Tony's tthe most popular place in townj. They did not stay very long as they dispersed after looking over the husky crowd of juniors. The only Senior left was A. Bullard: he was the unlucky one. The Juniors, upon seeing Alanson unescorted, asked him if he would not like an escort, to take him home. He declined, stating that he did not need one qunfortunately for hinmj. Four husky juniors carried him off in a car. In the early hours of the next morning. he came back home no worse for his experience, and as gay as a chipper. On the night before the Senior supper, the Senior colors were torn down in the Presbyter- ian church. QA mean trickj. Wie are glad to say that it was not the work of any juniors. The night of the Senior supper, the Seniors were hoping to unfurl their colors throughout the town. Bus Faucett Qonce a Senior but degraded to a Junior nowj had his coal truck filled with Seniors, ready for work or scrap, if need be. They had the town very well decorated with their colors, red and white. Midnight of this same night a band of husky Juniors, upon sight- ing the Senior colors, tore them down and replaced them with the Junior colors. The next morn- ing the Seniors saw. to their amazement, the Junior colors instead of their own. So endeth the color tights. . . Thursday, May 20, our president, Mr. Everett tBarneyj Meade, resigned from office Qclaiming he had too much studying to dol. Miss Gladys QPulmotorj Polmanteer succeeded him and Miss XVilma QXN7l1iffetj LeGro was elected vice-president. Signing off for the rest of the year. Whoopie Toot Toot. QSMQKYJ JOE DICANDIA, '27.
