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

' 45' lip, f 3 C4 MR. RICHARD ALBERT DUMMER Ph.B., Brown, M.A., Columbia Bible, Mathematics, and Science Mr. Dummer, who is the guiding hand ofthe Y. M. C. A., is one of the busiest teachers in the school. l-le has inlinite patience with those who Find any diFticulty in his algebra classes. Furthermore, he fills previously empty heads with knowledge of the Bible and science. Mr. Dummer's friendliness is fully appreciated by the boys on the First Floor of Sturtevant home, and, although he seems to have a passion for red cards, in the future this will undoubtedly be for- given. We wish to commend him highly For his Fine worlc during the past year, and wish him continued success during the years to come at Hebron. MR. WADE ELMER MARLETTE A.B., Elon Economics, Mathematics, and Coach Ever since Mr. Marlette First came to Hebron, he has been well lilced and respected by all with whom he has come in contact. Any one in school will testify to Mr. Marlette's ability as a coach. During his comparatively short stay here, he has coached l-lebron teams to state championships on several occasions. l-le is the very congenial master of one- half of the third Floor in Sturtevant, where he is very popular. ln parting, we wish to thank Mr. Marlette for giving us able instruction in our studies as well as on the gridiron and the cinder track. We wish him the best of luclc in the future. HOP

.422 ' WI 412' MR. WINSTON ARNOLD RANFT B.S., Springfield Mathematics, Special English, Laboratory Assistant, and Coach A great deal of friendly rivalry goes on between the boys of Hebron and Mr. Ranft. Since he is not a great deal older than most of the boys, and since he has recently graduated from Springfield, he knows all the angles, and it is very difficult to put anything over on him. As a swimming coach he has turned out Fighting teams For the past two years. 'l'here's nothing he asks his players to do that he will not do himself along with them. l-le gives them lust enough en- couragement to keep them on their toes all the time. Mr. Ranft is also valuable to Mr. Laverty as a labora- tory assistant and is a constant help to the students in their experiments and personal problems, MR. LEE STEVENS AB., Bates English, Public Speaking, and Music Mr. Stevens is still comparatively new at Hebron, but already he has earned the admiration and respect of all the fellows with his musical ability and the willingness with which he has undertaken his various duties. l-le has taken classes, musical organizations, and debating, all in his stride, and is doing a Fine iob. Besides all this, he has time to be one of the best dressed men on the campus. l-le cuts a Fine Figure in full dress as all those who were at the Carnival Ball will admit. Last of all, but by no means least, we hear that Mr. Stevens is something of a composer. We all wish him the best of luck and continued success in his future years. t22t
