“Oh, for the wonder that bubbles into my soul.” - D. H. Lawrence
Mission Statement The Haverford School literary magazine—Pegasus—was created to bolster our community by spreading the passion of its writers. We especially recognize its importance during these trying times. Even while social distancing, the Pegasus staff assembles to provide an outlet for The Haverford School’s literary community. The job of the literary magazine staff is to compile the literary works of our school, support them with beautiful photography or art pieces, and organize them into a cohesive design that is both visually appealing and audibly ringing. The hardworking staff utilizes the extra time they have in their schedules to collaboratively piece together this magazine.
Letter from the Editors To the Reader: Welcome to Pegasus, The Haverford School literary magazine. The Pegasus staff strives to provide a literary platform for members of our community to connect through. Recently, to preserve the common health, we have had to remain physically distant and isolated in our social bubbles. Our community’s strength and perseverance through this time inspired our staff. We wanted to not only connect our socially isolated bubbles, but also to cherish the character we have displayed as a brotherhood through this trying time. This edition of Pegasus is a celebration of our community and our gradual return to normalcy. Although emotionally taxing, we want our community to be proud of our bond, displayed ironically by our collective separation. As our community protects itself from the virus and comes back together, we want you to celebrate! We wanted to remind everyone of the bliss of coming back together. Spring is here! Enjoy the unadulterated, childlike happiness of blowing bubbles as our individual bubbles pop and become part of the whole community again. As always, we want to thank Mrs. Smith-Kan for her leadership, guidance, and support. It is Ms. Smith-Kan’s unyielding enthusiasm for the magazine and motivation that holds the staff together. We constantly rely on her as the backbone of Pegasus, and with this year’s challenges, we needed her more than ever. As always, she was there to guide us, teach us, and lead us in pursuit of a finished magazine. Most of all, we could not have made this magazine without the amazing students that submitted their works of prose, poetry, and photography. We thank you all so much; your hard work and passion are what make our magazine so unique and special. Its purpose is to share our community’s amazing work in a beautiful medium, so please enjoy the magazine. We would not be able to do this without you guys! With Regards, Pegasus Editors
