Gentlemen, EA week is now upon us. What a time to be a Ford.
This will be the Third Form’s first experience with spirit-week high school activities, and I can’t wait to see their reactions to the madness.
EA week is important to me not just because of the long-standing rivalry between the two schools, but because of my experience with the week/day. It’s true that I have never been in the student section during EA Day because of being on the field, but even still, I believe that EA Day is the true test of our Haverford brotherhood.
We talk about what it means to support each other all the time, and EA Day is where it all comes together. Hundreds of people come to support the H that encompasses all of us. We all may not be blood, but we are bound by the H. Even if you aren’t playing a sport, you matter for our success.
It’s getting colder, so sicknesses will be going around. We should all start covering up more, I think we need a sweater…

As a player, I can tell you that the only thing that keeps me going through tough games is seeing all of you still there to lift me up. This week we have to all be there for each other. High school is the only time you get to do things like spirit week, so cherish the memories you’ll make this week.
Throughout the week, we’ll be competing, form versus form, against each other.
Faculty, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Formers, don’t let your loss to the Sixth Form taint your experience with the week. We all need to be one come Saturday. I know that with the strength of our student body, we can march right up to enemy territory and seize victory.
Past EA week, another cool event, the fall play, is coming up, so I hope you can find the time to make it. Let’s keep up the good work we’ve been doing for two months.
One last thing, it’s getting colder, so sicknesses will be going around. We should all start covering up more, I think we need a sweater…
GO FORDS,
Josh Williams
