MR. ROBERT DRAYTON METCALF A.B., Amherst, Ed.M., Harvard English ln the hearts of the students of Hebron Academy, Mr. Metcalf is as firmly fixed as any Hebron tradition. His English classes are a real source of pleasure to us as we absorb the essentials of our Mother Tongue, drilled into us as only Metty can drill. lt is an almost impossible iob to stick Metty on any question con- cerning a former Hebron athlete, or on maior league baseball. He is the guiding hand behind both The Hebronian and The Green Parrot, and, if it were not for his ever-present advice, both the paper and the yearbook would not be what they are. The prominence of the Sigma Lambda Phi fraternity owes much to Metty's Fine work. Mr. Metcalf's versatility in many fields, plus the fact that he is thoroughly on the square in every association he has with Hebron men, has earned him the respect and affec- tion of everyone who knows him, and we sincerely wish a real friend the best of luck. MR. TRUMAN WILSON HOLLIS A.B., Bates Mathematics and Coach Coach Hollis is one of our oldest teachers in respect to service, which covers seventeen years. A very capable teacher, the boys whom he instructs are very fortunate. Besides excelling as a mathe- matics instructor, he coaches basketball and baseball, and his able direction has been the reason for He- bron's powerful basketball teams. Coach Hollis' witty remarks are oft repeated, and his classes are a source of enioyment to those who attend them. Boys work hard to receive a word of praise from the Coach, and the reward is well worth the effort. The Coach is a warm friend to all the boys, treating them in a way which they both admire and respect. In leaving, we wish to express our appreciation to an excellent instructor, capable coach, and sincere friend. T171 P l QLNXNN

rf MR. HOWARD RODNEY EMERY A.B., Bowdoin, M,A., Harvard Dean, History, and Coach Mr, Emery, who is one ofthe most popular men on the campus, was promoted to the position of Dean this year, and his guidance work is fast winning him many new friends. Because of his Fine sense of humor, his class periods are always interesting and seem very short. On his Floor in Sturtevant he has won the sincere admiration of all the fellows because of his patience and squareness. Besides being one of the most popular teachers, Mr. Emery is also one of the best dressed, and his wardrobe must equal those ofthe dough-boys. Those of us who graduate this year will always remember him for the Fine friend and instructor he has been during our stay at Hebron. MR. CHARLES BURTON ARTHUR A.B., Dartmouth Field Secretary and Coach During the winter term Mr. Arthur temporarily deserted his new position of Field secretary to coach his Fifth crack hockey team. From 1935 until 1939 he was also an instructor in history at the Academy. His students were Firmly convinced that he had the text on the tip of his tongue, so seldom did he refer to it. Coach Arthur attended Hebron a few years ago, and would be mistaken for a student now by anyone who did not know him. A brilliant hockey coach, he has inspired team after team with a Hebron spirit seldom triumphed over.' Practicing right along with his men, he seems like a close teammate rather than a coach. The best of luck to a man who, by his teaching, advice, and coaching, gains the respect of every Hebron boy who comes in contact with him. i161

MR. ROBERT MALCOLM WAUGH A.B., Colby, M.A., Middlebury French The greatest wonder to French students is how so much grammar can be crowded into so short a sen- tence. Regardless of how complicated the answer may be, Mr. Waugh certainly has found the formula, but in future college years those of us who weather the storm will indeed be grateful for these mysteries. l-lis classes are wide awake, interesting ones, for the radius of his own brilliance seems to encompass us all. l-lis floor in Sturtevant is supposedly the strictest in the school, but the boys there all admit that the docking is of the fairest lcind, and nobody has accused him of showing favoritism. Mr. Waugh tries to help each and every student in his studies and problems, and his advice about college is well grounded and appreciated. MR. ELON STANLEY KITCHIN AB., Colby l Mathematics Mr. Kitchin is lcnown to everyone in l-lebron as the dictator of Atwood l-lall. I-le does a great iob in keeping all the boys in hand. Mr. Kitchin is the coach of the ski team and director of winter sports. ln the fall and spring he directs the activities of our Outing Club. lr-le has built his own slci shop, which is located in the basement of Atwood l-lall. This shop is for the convenience and use of members of the winter sports team, Nobody who has ever had Mr. Kitchin as a mathematics teacher will ever forget his short cuts and manner of explaining problems, Before we depart, we wish to thanlc him for his interest in us and wish him many happy years at l-lebron. il19l'
