U L A S S TEACHER HE Senior Class was fortu- nate indeed to have as its official class teacher and adviser Mr. Edwin G. Nixon. Wfhenevcr any one of us desired advice of any sort, Mr. Nixon, either serving in the oliicial capacity as head of the Permissions Office, or acting as a personal friend, was ready to help us. 4'0nc of the most vaulahle men Hermon has ever seen, is the terse, first sentence to hc found under the name Edwin C. Nixon in the 1935 CATEVVAY. President of the Senior Class, and also of the Student Council, Mr. Nixon won the admiration and respect of not only the students hut also the faculty hy his courageous leadership at a time when he was forced actually to grim the school for several days. Having received the honor of heing tagged the higgest hene- factor, the most capahle, the most respected, and the most dignified on the class hallot, Mr. Nixon left Hermon in a hlaze of glory. At Middlebury College Mr. Nixon continued his admirahle work. Recipient of the coveted Blue Key as a sophomore, he was elected class Vice-president in his Junior year, only to he honored later as President of the Senior Class, Vice- President of the Student Council, and husincss manager of the Wliddlebllry Campus. Since returning to the Hill in the Fall of '39, Mr. Nixon has proved himself almost indispensable, he understands Hermonites. He not only is a shrewd judge and appraiser of hoys, hut also knows how to deal with them fairly and squarely under all circumstances. Vllhe many words which issue daily from hehind the closed doors of the Permissions Office vouch for the existence of such circumstancesj Wllatever Senior has had the need or the desire to consult Mr. Nixon soon found in the course of the conversation that the harriers which often stand in the way of true factulty-student relationships were non-existent, and yet this fact did not lessen, in the slightest degree, the respect which the hoy felt toward him. Mr. Nixon was not only our class teacher, hut also, and more predom- inantly, our class friend. 13
