Haverford High School's senior class were raising money to off set the cost of their own proms, yearbooks and other graduation events, but they never forgot to help others along with way. The class runs Mr. Haverford every year - an event that spoofs a beauty contest - and this year the nearly $700 in pennies collected, many of them in contestant Tom Brennans's name, were donated to Eagles Fly, the football team's fund raising project. Presenting the check to Eagles Fly representative are class officers (from left) Tom Fink, Evan Kirshner, Dorie Abel, David Baker, Mr. Haverford contestant Tom Brennan holds the check, Class President Marissa Barnathan, Josh Uhr and Gabby Wright. Brennan may not have been named Mr. Haverford, but he managed to win in a very rewarding way.
