MR. ROBERT WALTER SCOTT B.S., Colby History and Coaching In his second year at Hebron Mr. Scott has become more wellfliked than ever. His work with the athletic teams on the gridiron has been most helpful. This year he has assumed the duties of assistant hockey coach, and under his watchful eye a fine jayvee hockey team has been molded, In his classroom, as on the athletic field, Mr. Scott is resourceful and competent. His classes are some of the pleasant moments of the day spent by us here at Hebron. His casual humor and keen knowledge of his subject combine to make his class periods thoroughly enjoyable. His honesty and straight' forwardness are respected by all of us. We wish him many enjoyable years at Hebron. MR. MERTON EVERETT LAVERTY B.S., Colby Chemistry and Physics With the exception of those days each week when the chemistry and physics students meet to take those small weekly quizzes , Mr. Laverty's classes are about the most popular of any at Hebron. Mr. Laverty has a way of teaching these subjects so that the classwork loses that drudgery which is so char' acteristic of most classes. Added to this are his great sense of humor and a never ending source of ufastu remarks which never seem to fail him. Mr. Laverty is willing to help a student at any time, and even after the ten o'clock bell one is apt to Und him still working with one or more of the fellows. Although we understand that he is a comparatively new instructor, it is rather difficult to conceive of Hebron without him. It is not only a pleasure to study under Mr. Laverty, but com- pleting a course with him assures a student of a strong foundation. We hope the future students at Hebron will appreciate his work as much as we have this year. l13l

MR. WADE ELMER MARLETTE AB., Elon Economics, General Science. Mathematics. and Coaching The southern drawl of Coach Marlettc is a famed part of the school. It has spurred his football teams on to successful seasons. Coach again completed the fall season with an impressive record behind him. His spirit and desire to win are two of the reasons for his teams' success in track as well as foothall. A true Southerner, Coach displayed his ability in a true Northern sport by ably tending the goal for the faculty team in hockey. In the class- room, he is noted for his light, spirited talks, which are accepted with much enthusiasm by the students. Although we know Hebron teams will always be successful under his tutelage, we wish him all the luck in the world for future seasons. MR. ARTHUR WOODROW MERRIFIELD A.B., Bates French Mr. Merrifield is that happy Frenchman with the fine tenor voice who resides in Atwood. The k'Bonhomme is one of the few people at Hebron who always manage to look and act happy. Those who have hcen fortunate enough to have Mr. Merrifield in class will testify that one has to be sur la balle to get good grades in his difficult though interesting classes. Mr. Merriheld is the proud owner of L'Oiseau Bleu . This famous blue Plymouth, rumored to be of the vintage of 1932, is fast becoming a Hebron tradition as the car which has been pushed the most miles per student. Mr. Merrifield will long remain in our memories as a true friend and a Hne instructor. l17I 2

A graduate of Tufts, where he took up engineering. Mr. Osthues has made an impressive record in other academies since then. In the classroom he has done a hne job with his students, and, while he keeps them well in hand, he also shows a keen sense of humor. He has also done a great job in coaching the reserve teams in basketball and football, while working with the other coaches with the varsity. The reserve foot' ball team owes most of its success to his ability to teach the sport and handle the boys. A great favorite with the students, he certainly has our best wishes for many ricre sueccsfful years here at Hebron. MR. KENNETH MILTON SHEESLEY AB., University of Pennsylvania M,A., Pennsylvania State College Music and English Although this is Mr. Sheesley's nrst year as a Prof at Hebron, he is by no means new to thc School. lt wasn't so long ago that he was here iu a student's capacity, and pulling down third honors for the year at that. Mr. Sheesley should be com' plimented for the hue work that he has done this year with the band as well as with his English classes. His ever present good nature and wit help to make him one of the most popular faculty mem' bers. Although he has been kept pretty busy keeping the top floor of Sturtevant Linder control, he hasn't been known to use anything but a little diplomacy to settle affairs. We've prolited by his aid and friendship, and will long remember him, l19l
