Fairhaven High School stands behind a broad lawn planted with young shade trees, its brick and stone facade topped by steep gabled roofs and a central clock tower. An American flag flies from a tall pole at right against a pale sky. The sender, writing from New Bedford, notes that the school is across the bridge in Fairhaven, a short crossing over the Acushnet River between the two communities.
