The legacy is yours to uphold

Asa Winikur ’24 – Pierce Laveran ’24

Gentlemen,

It is crazy to think that we have already reached the end of our journey together. 

By the time you are reading this letter, the Sixth Form will have officially finished classes and the Fifth Formers will be oldest on campus. The changing of leadership brings many new and unique opportunities for the community. 

To the class of 2025, now is your time. It is now your time to step up to the plate and lead this school. As you know, with great power comes great responsibility. Think about what the 2024 class did well and think about things you would do differently. Your actions matter like they never have before and your words carry weight like they never have before. Do not lose who you are during this time. Remember that only a few years ago, you were that intimidated Third Former walking the halls. 

I would also like to take this time to thank you all for trusting me with the position as student body president. As a lifer of the school, this opportunity felt like the perfect way to end my Haverford career. 

Never forget, the legacy is not yours but yours to uphold.

I appreciate you all more than you could imagine and I am so proud and blessed to belong to this brotherhood. 

To the Haverford brothers that will come after me, never forget, the legacy is not yours but yours to uphold. Thank you all again, and, for the last time ever…

Godspeed.
