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 '

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'
