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'

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

MR. GERALD DOUGLAS CUSHING A.B., Bates English and Dramatics Lost year Mr. Cushing returned to Hebron after an absence of two years. He used to teach English clnd Bible at Hebron, but this year he is confining his work to English and dramatics. Before the holidays he put on two successful Christmas plays, which proved his talent as a director. Although he does not coach any sport, he is actively interested in all sports, and there are Few basketball games which he does not see. He is known by all who have him in class as on able instructor. This is especially true of the senior class, who will always remember him for his genial disposition and his excellent methods of explaining dil-Ficult questions. MR. HENRY FORBES CLEAVES A.B., Bowdoin French, Latin, and English Those who knew Mr. Cleaves previously were very glad to see him back at Hebron this year after he had spent part of last year in study at Columbia. He is extremely talented as an orgonist and pianist, and is always ready and willing to play for the fel- lows after dinner. Mr. Cleaves seems to command the attention of the boys iust as much when he is playing classical music as he does when he is playing swing. He is noted for keeping his classes full of zest and iest which keeps the boys constantly on the alert. 421911 Wx 5? Q Ra .....4,x lt ll N '
