THE FACULTY MR. AND MRS. APPLETON H. SEAVERNS In the summer of 1952, Mr. and Mrs. Seaverns and their three children came to Sufiield to make their home in the historic Headmaster's residence, the Gay Manse, as the school was about to begin its 120th year. Appleton H. Seaverns, a graduate of the Kingswood School and Deerfield Academy, attended Williams College CB.A. 19395 and Trinity College fM.A. 19503. He taught modern languages and coached baseball at the Laguna Blanca School in California before entering the Army of the United States in which he served five years, being separated from the service as a major of infantry. During the six years prior to his appointment at Suffield, he taught and coached at the Kingswood School. Mr. Seaverns is a trustee of the Hartford Seminary Foundation, the Horace Bushnell Memorial Hall and the Children's Museum of Hartford and belongs to the Rotary Club, the Hartford Club, and the Anglers Club of New York. Jeanice H. Seaverns, a native of Texas, graduated from Bennett junior College in 1959. Later, she attended Texas Military College and the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. She is a former trustee of the Connecticut Cancer Society and at the present time is a member of the board of the Kent Memorial Library of Suffield, the Children's Museum Auxiliary of Hartford, the Hartford Art School, and is an officer of the Suffield Council of Churches. 4
