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 '

B.S., Colby MR. MERTON EVERETT LAVERTY t MR. ARTHUR WOODROW MERRIFIELD AB., Bates French There are two things which we consider when thinking of Mr. Merrifield-the Blue Cornet Cwhich, if vivid imagination is used, may loe called an automobilej and his ability to teach and speak French. Students who have him in class often wonder where he can find those subtle questions which feature his tests. However, his ability to explain these soon erases any difficulty on the part of the student. His travel talks on France are always a source of enioy- ment and information to those worthy patrons of the butt room. We shall always remember Mr. Merri- field as a friend and worthy instructor. Physics and Chemistry Mr. Laverty's classes in physics and chemistry are a source of enioyment to most of the boys. They are almost always interesting. However, if a class is ever slow or dull, he soon peps it up with a few of his sly remarks and sparks of humor. Mr. Laverty is a great favorite with the boys, because he is always ready and willing to help them out if they get stumped. He has an extra large share of patience, which is an admirable and necessary quality in any teacher. His winning personality puts him high on the popular- ity list, although he is lust completing his second full year at Hebron. A boy working faithfully for Mr. Laverty for one year will be sure of the necessary background for future work in college. 'l91l' .ot 5 N Wx if T ' l
