Planned Gifts: Investing in Hebron’s Vision
“
The first time we stepped on the Hebron campus we felt at home. During the four years our son Tim was there we made friends that will endure for a lifetime. Hebron is family. We saw our son nurtured and prodded by Hebron to grow into the young man he is today. My late wife and I have always given to the Hebron Annual Fund, and I feel fortunate that I can remember Hebron in my estate plans. It is a very special place on the crowded educational landscape.

From the Head of School
Hebron Academy is a GOOD school. When I ask any of countless graduates whether recent or from long ago - what Hebron means to them, the answers make it clear that Hebron is a GREAT school. My first realization of how special Hebron is came when Marcia and I had lunch conversations with a dozen students when I interviewed for the Head’s position fourteen years ago. We had never experienced a more engaging exchange with such an animated, thoughtful, eclectic group of young people. Those students wanted to know us and wanted us to know how their school was special – and they wanted to be sure we understood and would keep that special school culture intact. For fourteen years since that day, I’ve championed that “special something” that captures students and teachers at Hebron. The recipe for it is not written down; it can’t be easily defined. We’ve discussed it, analyzed, philosophized, surveyed and consulted with marketing experts to put it to words: the words always come back to “caring, friendly, open, supportive, individual, honest, simple and straightforward.” We’ve branded ourselves as “Game-Changing;” “Where Humanity and Achievement Ring True;” and our mission speaks of “Inspiring each individual student to reach his or her highest potential…” Whatever it is, it centers on who each individual is and what each accomplishes in order to become and be him or herself. In this issue of HEBRON, we bring that ongoing conversation to the forefront by evaluating ourselves from the inside out, a process triggered by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) Self-Study we are conducting as part of our

reaccreditation process. “Looking from the Inside Out” on page 14 offers thoughtful opinions, perspectives and examples from a range of Hebron representatives, giving evidence and illustration to our culture as a great school. My own explanation of Hebron’s “good school” culture references two source opinions: the archives and historic legends of my alma mater Williams College and an Independent School magazine perspective titled 25 Factors Great Schools Have in Common, by Pat Bassett, then President of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS). It is an extension of Jim Collins’ books Good to Great and Great by Choice. Put simply: Good teachers make good schools. President James A. Garfield reminded us of that when he immortalized Mark Hopkins, renowned professor of moral and intellectual philosophy and eventually president of Williams. Garfield reportedly claimed, “The ideal college is Mark Hopkins on one end of a log and a student on the other.” It was all about the single give and take, the connection between teacher and student, no matter how basic the classroom. NAIS’s Bassett affirms that premise when, among his “25 Great School Factors,” he addresses the culture of such institutions, citing Collins’ notion of “getting the right people on the bus… and the right people to the right seats.” For a school culture to be great, Collins says, “this can only be accomplished by people who live, breathe, eat and sleep what they are doing.” That’s what it is at Hebron: teachers who are passionate and dedicated to each of their individual students, who inspire and guide as discussion leaders, counselors, coaches, dormitory parents and mentors. And it is the Hebron students who respond to that inspiration by learning to speak for themselves, to think, and share the experience. The culture of a good school is a culture of connection. Does it help that Hebron is a simple school without undue frills or extras? Or that Hebron is small compared to many of our peer schools? Certainly. Hebron works hard to be large enough to be financially sustain-

able, yet still small enough to be nimble and personal. Necessity marries choice when we accept and enroll such a wide range of students with such talents, interests, challenges, and diversity. Bassett also underscores the importance of exposure to differences: “Commit to diversity of all kinds and at all levels to create the conditions and school culture so that students learn how to appreciate and map differences and then navigate change.” The real world lives on Hebron’s idyllic campus in rural Maine. We may be the only school in the state where a boy or girl from Auburn can hear from two students, one from Ukraine and one from Russia, about what is happening in their homelands, or become teammates with a native of Malawi who has known how it truly feels to be hungry. Our students become confident to stand up and speak for themselves and navigate to their opinions and values through channels such as Hebron’s “Words” public speaking program. The messages and growth are profound to behold. The initiative and energy to always want to be a better teacher, to collaborate and to innovate, to give one’s passion to young people, to have ideas and share ideas, and to take on new projects – that’s the special blend of the personalities that have come to Hebron to teach and grow. What is and will always be intentional about Hebron’s culture is the encouragement of every teacher and every student to continue to learn, to expand, and to find new ways to communicate and lead. That’s the culture of a GREAT school. Sincerely,
John J. King, Head of School today. hebronacademy.org • 1

n keeping with Hebron’s campus master plan of updating faculty dorm residences, the Bonney Suite, located on the south wing of Sturtevant Home across from the Student Health Center, recently underwent renovation. Hebron’s talented team of on-staff carpenters, masons and electricians tackled the challenge of combining two separate, stacked apartments into one two-story unit with new flooring, kitchen, common space, exposed beams and a beautiful cherry stairwell. The project was born out of a push for more accommodating housing for Hebron’s resident faculty, a need identified at the 2012 strategic planning retreat. The updated Bonney Suite, completed last spring, is home to Ashley and James LeBlanc ’02; Ashley is the newly appointed Sturtevant Dorm Head who teaches English, coaches field hockey and lacrosse, and leads Hebron’s senior and postgraduate program. James is a Hebron graduate who works in the Admissions Office and is the head coach of the boys’ varsity hockey team. The two met working at Hebron and now live together with their black lab Tuuk in the Bonney Suite. Ashley, an avid equestrian and self-professed “nester,” enjoyed decorating the space with tasteful touches of New England and “barn chic” trimmings. The expanded living room now
can serve as a formal dining area, collaborative study spot for students, or even a pumpkin carving station come Halloween. The apartment’s namesake, Percival Bonney, was a Maine native who served as Board Chair for many years during the late 19th century and remained heavily involved with the school until his passing. In an 1882 graduation speech he imparted to the senior class, “It should not be forgotten that the purpose of mental discipline and culture is the preparation of men and women for the practical duties of life.”

Lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in the States, and New England sits atop the ranks as a hub for young athletes looking to compete at a high level in the prep school arena. Hebron’s lacrosse momentum continues to surge forward, the latest wave arriving with a New England Small Schools Tournament Championship last spring and back-to-back MAISAD titles the past two years. New leadership, a surplus of raw talent, and a formidable contingent of longtime players have invigorated the program and broadened valuable exposure for our little school in Maine.
The Bonney Suite, a faculty apartment in the south wing of Sturtevant Dorm, got a much needed facelift from Hebron’s Buildings & Grounds crew last spring. Exposed beams, a wide staircase, and crisp white and cream walls give a rustic, airy feel to the space.

They are selected to participate in elite groups. No, these are not athletes—they are musicians. And they’ve come to play. In recent years, Hebron Academy’s instrumental program has developed tremendously under the leadership of John Lawson to one that can now boast representatives in All-District and All-State auditioned ensembles. With John’s baton, music at Hebron has truly found its rhythm. “The level of playing has gone up significantly,” said Mr. Lawson. “There’s no such thing as a perfect concert, but unlike missing a shot in a game, if you make a mistake, it will sound really bad. Music is one of those things that even getting 90% of the notes right isn’t really success.” The high standards set by Mr. Lawson, who plays several instruments and maintains a busy professional performance schedule when he’s not teaching, has resulted in music permeating campus life at Hebron Academy.

For several years, Saul B. Cohen ’51 has supported these ideals for young musicians and public enjoyment through the Cohen Chamber Music Series at Hebron. The series is sponsored by the Saul B. and Naomi R. Cohen Foundation and is always open to the public at no cost. “When I went to Hebron, it was a musical desert,” said Mr. Cohen. “The nearest we got to music was the occasional a cappella singing.” Mr. Cohen took piano lessons as a young child and also studied the violin. But he stopped practicing and playing when he entered high school. However, in his 70s, Mr. Cohen took up the cello because Cellist Jan Muller-Szeraws (R) performs with he loved the sound. pianist Adam Golka (L). “Young people should hear music, see it, not think it’s for gray hairs only,” said Mr. Cohen. “Music is one of the riches of our civilization, and something to broaden their experience. I also wanted to support young professionals at the early stages of their careers when they need visibility and also need a few bucks.” Mr. Cohen, also a graduate from Harvard College and Harvard Business School, has used his subsequent good fortune to bring world-class music to audiences throughout New England. He started the Hammond Performing Arts Series in Boston to give professional classical musicians exposure to the public. He also actively supports the Kneisel Hall Chamber Music School and Festival in Blue Hill, ME. In addition, he serves on the Dean’s advisory board of Boston University’s College of Fine Arts, where he met Jan Müller-Szeraws, the currently featured cellist for the Cohen Chamber Music Series at Hebron Academy, which brings renowned chamber instrumentalists to campus to perform for students and the surrounding public for free three times during the school year. “I met Saul when I was a student at Boston University,” said Mr. Müller-Szeraws. “He heard me play, and he was very gracious to me’’. The Saul B. and Naomi R. Cohen Foundation underwrites the grant that provides the Hebron Academy concert series as a venue for Mr. Müller-Szeraws and other young professional musicians to perform. For the Hebron concerts, other young musicians preformed before Jan Müller-Szeraws such as Alexandre Lecarme, Aurelien Sabouret, and Laurent Chatel (The Tancrède Trio). Mr. Cohen also wanted to give back to the school that he said had done so much for him by supporting Hebron’s music and cultural programs.

of self, and establishing self-discipline. It’s really special to watch kids hit a hard solo patch and see them realize that they’re doing it. And there’s a real camaraderie that comes working as a group. This [past] year’s students have really allowed that to happen.” Mr. Lawson noted that not every student will become a music major or be a serious musician after they graduate. However, the primary purpose and joy of music education is to explore new ideas, to have music in some way always be part of their lives, and to have a better appreciation for the humanity and achievement music exemplifies. Mr. Lawson directs the Upper School Orchestra, Jazz Band, Jazz Combo, String Quartet, and Middle School Band. He also teaches courses in Music Theory, Digital Recording, History of Rock and Roll and gives private lessons. Off campus, he plays double bass in the Bangor Symphony Orchestra, Maine State Music Theater, Good Theater in Portland, and various other ensembles. h

Objective Correlatives The Culture of the Academy
P
by dave stonebraker
oet T. S. Eliot used the term “objective correlative” to capture the idea that only through a connection with tangible things could pure emotion be expressed. In Hemingway’s novel A Farewell to Arms, the narrator observes that, “only the names of places had dignity…Abstract words such as ‘glory,’ ‘honor,’ ‘courage’…had no meaning beside the concrete names of villages,…the names of rivers,…and the dates.” A recent college publication attempted to capture the history of the institution through selected objects to embody that history. Here, we take a somewhat different approach, selecting a ‘baker’s dozen’ of things and places from the Hebron campus which may capture the spirit and culture of the Academy, objects and places which come to embody, perhaps, universal experiences of students, alumni and friends who have shared the campus in time.

hen dedicated in 1891, the front façade of Sturtevant Hall rose unadorned from steps to tower. The familiar clock and bell that have measured the hours of Hebron life would not be installed until 1908, as a tribute to love and an untimely death. Fannie Donham Stearns, Class of 1890, gave instruction in drawing and painting until her untimely death in the spring of 1908. Her husband Harry Stearns had the tower clock and bell installed in the fall, dedicated to the memory of Fannie, and with the inscription in the doorway below, “By faithful service may it bear witness to her fidelity to duty.” And it has, measuring the minutes and striking the hours of Hebron time for more than a century.

F
or years, bells had rung out in victory and warning from the center of campus; however, when the Dwyer Fields were completed in 1964,
it was appropriate to situate a bell closer to the fields. Some alumni will remember a much smaller bell located on the knoll above the fields and across from Red Lion House. Damaged by winter ice, by the 1980s this bell was no longer functional. For their Class Gift, the Class of 1984 resolved to remedy the situation and did so in grand style, locating, purchasing and transporting a massive bell from Hallowell to become a fixture on the Dwyer Fields. Victorious teams now join together, all hands upon the rope, to pull as one and swing the massive 1,487-pound bell cast by Henry Hooper of Boston in 1867.

Looking From the Inside Out
Hebron answers the question:
What Makes a Thriving School?
D
uring the 2013-2014 school year, the Hebron community undertook a lengthy and detailed examination of the Academy to document the school for the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). The overwhelming conclusion of the self-study is that Hebron Academy is a community that is thriving, but what exactly might such a statement mean? A gardener may well view the concept in terms of vigorous, healthy growth inspired by the combination of a nutrient-rich environment combined with fortuitous weather. An investor may thrive through the application of strategic planning, inspired data-analysis, and attention to historical performance as well as current trends. “Thriving” has more recently become the subject of educational research and studies attempting to isolate and define factors which influence the positive growth of students. While students ultimately define themselves through personal goals and aspirations, a school may purposefully and positively influence its students by creating an environment rich in incremental challenge and support, life skills, decision-making opportunities, and interactions with peers and adults that reinforce caring, confidence, persistence, resourcefulness and positive relationships.

This issue of HEBRON gathers together a number of voices touching on the concept of a thriving community: accounts of the accomplishments of current artists and athletes; the Career Connection Seminars when current seniors prepare their resumés for the future and network with alumni/ae actively engaged in many professional fields; Associate Head of School Brian Jurek’s reflections on current program innovation at the Academy and the inaugural faculty Award for Innovative Teaching; current faculty member Dr. Daniella Swenton and former teacher Peter Conzett sharing thoughts about what inspired their teaching as beginning faculty at Hebron who had come to the school from doctoral studies and fellowships at university; Senior Associate Director of Admission Julie Middleton developing the particular elements most important to enrolling students and their families; and Paul Goodof ’67, new Chair of the Board of Trustees, sharing his path to leadership and vision of Hebron for the coming years. Our bold conclusion: Hebron Academy is indeed a “thriving community” dedicated to creating a culture of individual achievement in mind, body and spirit. As you read the linked articles in this issue of HEBRON, we hope you will agree.

An Interview with Paul Goodof ’67, New Board Chair
A
t last May’s meeting of the Hebron Academy Board of Trustees, Paul Goodof, Class of 1967, was elected as the next Board Chair. Having served as Trustee for ten years and as Vice Chair for two years, Paul follows in the long succession beginning with Deacon Barrows and leading on to Percival Bonney, Freelan Stanley, Roscoe Hupper and recently J. Reeve Bright ’66. Paul brings wide experience to the position, including his leadership as chair of the building committee for the construction of Hebron’s Athletic Center and consulting work with a variety of nonprofit institutions. It seemed appropriate to introduce him to the wider Hebron community and to ask about his vision for the Academy and his experiences in it.
“I plan even more engagement of board members with students and faculty. I think that having my colleagues more rigorously ‘looking under the hood’ will make us better equipped to make wise choices and decisions going forward.”
H: As you begin to lead the Board of Trustees after the long tenure of Reeve Bright ’66, what thoughts are on your mind? PG: I am honored and humbled at the prospect of assuming the chairmanship of Hebron’s board, and hope to build on the momentum Reeve and others have developed. There’s much to do: the launch of the next phase of our campaign, the related critical upgrades to science, arts and residential facilities, continuing to build our endowment, and developing the next generation of board leadership. I plan even more engagement of board members with students and faculty, something that I have really enjoyed. I think that having my colleagues more rigorously “looking under the hood” will make us better equipped to make wise choices and decisions going forward. H: One of your first tasks with Hebron’s Board of Trustees was chairing the building committee for the Athletic Center. How was that important? PG: One of my first meetings as a new trustee was a planning retreat, where we heard that we needed (1) to continue to build Hebron’s enrollment, (2) to strengthen our financials, and (3) to make plans as early as possible for an updated athletic complex. To appeal to prospects increasingly using the internet as part of their decision-making process, we needed to give our admissions team an attractive new tool to show to prospective families.

ling to the marketing argument, our students deserved a more appropriate and updated facility. A very thoughtful and creative planning committee of students, faculty and trustees, paired with brilliant architects and construction consultants, produced a facility that is superbly meeting every identified need and will serve the Academy well for generations. H: When you consider the Hebron of your experience and what you observe today, what similarities and differences do you find? PG: One of the reasons that I was excited to come to Hebron was that I (and my parents) realized that I wasn’t working very hard, yet I was still earning high marks in the Waterville (ME) school system. I needed more challenge, and boy did I get it. Ned Willard, Bill Fritz, Charlie Tranfield, Bruce Gardner

and a host of others stretched and tugged me in very positive ways, and it was hard work. That function from a committed and inspiring faculty clearly continues today, though with both obvious and subtle differences. When I was here, the academic side of things was a “one size fits all” model: Everyone took the same courses, and the primary difference of the student experience was what sport they played. Today’s Hebron is far more individualized, with a wide selection of honors, AP and field study electives to allow students to seek, and possibly find, their passions. Music, art and theatre, so much a part of today’s Hebron, were virtually non-existent in my day. There’s no less academic rigor, but it’s a far richer experience for today’s students. Hannah Mangham, a graduate of Williams College, joined Hebron’s English Department in 2013.
“That all students emerge from their time at Hebron with positive personal values and with confidence and as lifelong learners is clear. Beyond that - and this is the real plus to what we’re doing - virtually every student will have been nurtured individually and can be stronger for his or her differences.” paul goodof ’67, board chair

H: You describe what might be called a traditional education. As you observe the school today, you seem to find it more innovative, more creative. So the question is: what is the necessary and appropriate balance between traditional rigor and innovation? PG: During my time working at Harvard, I had the chance to travel with the then new President of the University, Derek Bok. When speaking, he would always begin with the statement, “We must always remember that the true purpose of education is to open minds, not merely to fill them.” I think he was referring to all education—not just college education. In a lot of ways, when I was at Hebron, the school was filling our minds; filling probingly and thoughtfully to be sure, but filling nonetheless. Today, I think that what we are doing with kids is ‘opening,’ and that requires an experience and pedagogy that is totally different. It means stretching them with innovation and challenging them to think analytically and critically, finding the ways to make them be tuned to problem solving. Ultimately, it is the support, the pushing, and yet finding the balance of how to reach each individual student and inspire him or her to reach for the best. We are educating the whole student. H: From Waterville to Hebron, and then to where? What was the educational and career path you followed? PG: From Hebron, I went to Harvard, followed by a number of years working for the University as an assistant dean of students and in alumni relations and development. I then attended Harvard Business School, followed by a 20-year career as CFO/ COO of a commercial real estate company. Early in that career, I got my first taste of volunteer work, as building committee chair and later trustee at Perkins School for the Blind, a relationship that spanned 30 years. My mid-life crisis was that I decided I liked
working for nonprofits more than the commercial world, and for the last twenty years have been engaged with consulting work (including half a dozen interim CFO/COO stints and project management assignments) at schools, colleges, museums and historical organizations, as well as serving as a volunteer trustee of half a dozen entities. I’ve now stepped aside from all them in order to devote my full energies to Hebron. H: Some have argued that the independent school model has become so complex as to be potentially unsustainable. Do you sense this challenge? PG: As long as there are bright kids whose opportunities for education are limited by any number of circumstances, there will be a need for places like Hebron. Not all of the schools are necessarily going to have sufficient resources to survive in all of this, as the number of families who can truly afford the opportunity of independent schools is getting smaller and smaller and the need for financial assistance is becoming greater and greater. Nonetheless, the good schools are going to find a way to manage themselves in order to continue and sustain the vital mission that they do. Hebron is an important place. Just look at the changes we have made in the lives of our students. H: If we’re launching kids on a new trajectory, how do you dial in the metrics of that trajectory; what are we doing that is new and unique? PG: I think we do it every day, through the leadership, example and mentorship of an inspiring and talented cohort of adults in the classrooms, in the dorms, and on the fields. It seems that everyone with whom students come in contact here is doing creative, worthwhile things, reflecting the true ideal of “lifelong learning.” We have published authors and poets in the humanities faculty; actors, musicians and artists regularly performing or exhibiting; scientists sharing postdoctoral research with their classes; and coaches who try out and succeed as members of professional sports teams. By example of all of these, the students see and learn, and realize a sense of possibility. That’s the difference, the new launch pad. H: To sustain Hebron, how do you attract inspiring people to rural Maine, and how do you nurture that inspiration? PG: We have to work at it. Hebron isn’t Boston or New York. But I daresay that there aren’t many schools in a major metropolitan area where teachers can go home to walk their dogs between classes (and Hebron boasts more dogs per square foot than

any place I know!). Our culture and incredible sense of community clearly help in recruiting talented and able faculty. But we need to do more. The Head of St. Paul’s School recently opined that “we need to find ways to create space in life for more intentional reflection,” in the context of giving faculty opportunities for self-renewal and for growth and development so that they can impart to our students new thinking, new approaches to learning. I can’t believe that we have been as fortunate in keeping our faculty fresh as we have with our limited professional development resources, and part of our quest for added endowment is to support faculty growth and innovation. H: Pat Bassett has written in a recent piece for Independent School Magazine about the qualities ‘good’ schools share, and that great schools “create and perpetuate an intentional culture shaped by adults, rooted in universal values of honesty and caring, and relentlessly oriented toward achievement.” Would you embrace all of Mr. Basset’s statement, particularly his observation about achievement? PG: I think he’s mostly right. I would only observe that the word “achievement” has considerably more manifestations than it once did. Hebron’s underlying mission – “to inspire and guide students to reach their highest potential in mind, body and spirit” – now has to have multiple calibrations as we define achievement in different ways for just about every student. That all students emerge from their time at Hebron with positive personal values and with confidence and as lifelong learners is clear. Beyond that - and this is the real plus to what we’re doing - virtually every student will have been nurtured individually and can be stronger for his or her differences. H: Finally, as you consider the trajectory of students and even the school itself, what is your vision of the future?
Members of the Class of 2014 crack a smile during the Career Connection Seminars last March. L-R: Brittany Myrick, Amanda Small and Rich Shipman.
PG: The “culture” in my time here was centered on structure, rigor and discipline. We were expected to work hard, dress in coats and ties, and stay out of trouble. It all seemed to work at the time. Today’s Hebron, and the world in which it lives, is not so simple. The very positive return to coeducation started the process of change; a far broader range of backgrounds with students from more distant US locations and an array of foreign countries has added to the richness and the complexity of the place; increasing the day student population has promoted greater family engagement; and more studied and successful focus on nurturing self-expression and the individuality in our students - all of these things have made today’s Hebron a powerful crucible that turns out broad-gauged and caring citizens. Yes, they’re academically prepared in the same and perhaps better ways to deal with college, but equally and more importantly, they have, for some number of years, been active participants in a community that fosters and celebrates virtues far beyond classroom or playing field achievements. Seeing the joy and satisfaction in our students that comes from performing on stage, taking the perfect photograph, closely editing a story or presentation—all these things so clearly define the life in all we do. And if I had to choose a single vision for my time as chair, it would be to sustain and in every way possible enhance the opportunities for our students to experience that joy and satisfaction.

t’s the turn of the 19th century and educational innovation has come to the eastern foothills of the White Mountains, to the little outpost of Hebron, Maine.

test the model, it seems to weather each storm and move forward. The same cannot be said for public education. Hailed as one of the brightest achievements of our democracy, it has come under heavy fire during the last fifty to sixty years for its failure to deliver on the promise of a free, high-quality, and accessible education for all. And the problems recently have only become more acute in terms of where America ranks among the nations of the world. This is not to say that public educational philosophy and policy has shied away from innovation. Rather, just the opposite has happened, as federal and state governments constantly introduce innovative programs to address shortcomings. No Child Left Behind and the Common Core are two of many such attempts at fixes. The problem lies not in the attempts nor in the desire to improve, but in the focus on innovation as a function of program rather than people (a programmatic ‘veneering’). This is where independent schools, and particularly boarding schools, have an enormous advantage, and why schools like Hebron have the potential and the responsibility to be lead educational innovators. A critical component in the ability to innovate is size, and Hebron is blessed in its smallness. Our size leads to smaller classes, more one-on-one interaction, more conversation and communication, greater sharing, and a higher degree of flexibility. We are a school nimble enough to handle change at a pace that

flummoxes larger, more bureaucratic institutions, and we allow our faculty the autonomy to design lessons and learning environments that adapt to individual and group needs. In other words, we allow faculty the freedom to experiment—to ask legitimate questions about the efficacy of their teaching and to design and redesign experiences that best benefit student learning. It is interesting to see ‘new’ movements in businesses like Google that encourage employees to halt their ‘regular’ routines for a certain amount of time each day or week to explore more personal ‘what ifs.’ This kind of innovation time is at the heart of what Hebron teachers engage in constantly. But teaching in such an environment demands high-energy (as well as the commitment to the other duties associated with working at a boarding school—coaching, dorm parenting, taking weekend trips, etc). So, the question becomes not one of establishing a culture of innovation, but rather of promoting and sustaining it over the long haul. This is a ‘people’ first - not a ‘program’ first - question. One example of a recent ‘people-centered’ initiative is the concept of faculty workgroups. In the win-

Core Values Teachers should: • Value and cultivate each student’s unique voice and experience; • Prepare students for both college-level scholarship and responsible participation in the global community; • Help students make connections within and between disciplines and to see ‘the forest’ as well as ‘the trees’; • Prepare students to be agile problem solvers; teach students methods for finding answers on their own; • Promote learning as an investigation through exploration—a quest to find answers to authentic and essential questions. We must all, students and teachers, be good question askers; • Encourage students to be active participants in their own learning; • Employ a variety of teaching styles in order to meet students where they are cognitively and socially; • Foster in students an emotional connection to the work in addition to an intellectual connection; • Encourage students to develop multiple perspectives on issues; • Provide effective feedback, critical in fostering improvement;
• Emphasize process rather than content; content as a means rather than an end; • Work collegially and collaboratively in order to improve.
ter term several years ago, instead of continuing with traditional all-faculty meetings, we decided to poll the faculty on the most important issues facing the school. The top five were chosen and faculty groups formed to meet and work on them. For some groups, the ‘output’ was simply discussion and sharing of ideas. For others, the work evolved into significant and concrete programs for school improvement. One such effort was the establishment of a new schedule structure with tremendous benefits for students and faculty. Another led to the establishment of a new professional development initiative involving small, peer cohorts and online PD portfolios. Another people-centered project involved the establishment of an academic mission statement and set of core values (see lower left). Individual departments then engaged a similar exercise, all with the goal of helping teachers align professional development and innovation with the overarching mission of the school as well as making the school’s mission more concrete and ‘actionable.’ There have been non-academic innovations as well, particularly in the area of residential life. At its heart, the LIFE program, which stands for Living (and Learning) in a Family Environment, brings together students and faculty to discuss issues and questions about how best to live and work together. With the leadership of Dr. Daniella Swenton, Hebron has recently established an after-school science program in field research called “i4T,” (“Innovate for Tomorrow”), an addition to more traditional sports and arts activities. Hebron has begun to think not only about how to promote and sustain innovation, but also how to celebrate it. Under the leadership of Dean of Faculty Emily Bonis, Hebron presented its first ever Innovative Teaching Awards at the conclusion of this past school year. Faculty were nominated by peers and present their work before a final vote decided the prizes. The school is also considering other ways in which to use the professional development budget to promote innovation. There is much to do but also much to celebrate here at our little outpost. We are and always have been a people-centered institution, a community that understands the value of sharing questions and ideas that lead to natural and effective change. In this sense, innovation at Hebron is a natural end product of who we are and what we value.
Dean of Faculty and Mathematics Department Chair Emily Bonis emphasizes cross-curricular programming in her teaching.
“The problem lies not in the attempts nor in the desire to improve, but in the focus on innovation as a function of program rather than people. This is where independent schools have an enormous advantage, and why schools like Hebron have the potential and the responsibility to be lead innovators.” brian jurek, associate head of school

y father likes to joke that my first word was “why?” Although this sentiment is clearly tongue-in-cheek, it does reflect the motivation that underlies my life thus far. My mind is constantly reaching for the why of any phenomenon. Though my students may be surprised, I am an introvert. As a wallflower in the world there is much to observe and to understand, to know why. I distinctly remember sitting in my freshman biology course at the University of Vermont as the professor who would later become my advisor explained the beautiful simplicity of evolution by natural selection. The world became so clear in its organization after that day. I suddenly had an elegant framework in which to pursue questions of “why” in the world around Sampling a habitat at Bitter me. Later, as my knowledge of evolutionary theory Lake National Wildlife Refuge in became more sophisticated, I better appreciated the Roswell, NM subtle nuances and mechanisms beyond natural selection that contribute to the creation of biodiversity in time and space. I pursued my doctorate because I was so enthralled by answering questions about the

evolutionary and ecological nature of the biological world, and university research allowed me to do this. What I continue to find is that the more “why” questions I answer about the world, the more “why” questions I have! Ultimately, it is the process of discovery, the path to “why” that I find captivates me - a world of questions, a world of possibilities, a world of discovery, a world of infinite mystery. I did not set out to become a teacher, nor did I set out to become a research scientist. I have followed a trajectory that allows me the freedom to explore the “why” questions in this world. I have created a life in which the process of discovery is at the heart of all that I do. From teaching to research to relationships to parenting, I approach my life with wide-open eyes, mindfulness, a smattering of skepticism, a can-do problem-solving attitude, and an inquisitive spirit. These are essential elements of scientific inquiry, and it is these things above all else that I try to cultivate and nurture in my students. Young minds, by the nature of their openness, are

ask ‘why?’
well equipped to consider multiple dimensions in intellectual pursuit of the natural world, be they ethical, artistic, philosophical, or scientific. It was this realization while teaching in a 7th grade classroom as part of a graduate school fellowship that sparked my desire to teach younger children, eventually leading me away from university to the campus of Hebron Academy. With me, I brought an interdisciplinary and inquisitive nature to teaching science. One great challenge I have found is dispelling the notion that science is a black and white discipline that produces predictable and quick results. Students often enter with the expectation that rote memorization will secure a mastery of the subject. I teach students that science is a highly dynamic and conceptual field with ample opportunity for abstract thought. As scientists, we must use unique skills and knowledge to answer questions about natural phenomena, answers that do not come without thoughtful consideration and application of the scientific method. When teaching I strive first to place new information in the context of greater processes. Second, I constantly reinforce the integration of natural systems from atoms through ecosystems. Finally, I explain the origin of these scientific findings, describing how scientists utilize the scientific method to arrive at their conclusions. Science does not exist in a vacuum, nor do scientists. We have passions that extend beyond our chosen professional field. For example, I draw, write, and bake in my spare time. I find that placing information in a human framework makes students realize that they, too, are capable of scientific investigation and that they need not be professional scientists to appreciate or explore the natural world. I find great joy in teaching, and I expect my students to become advocates for their own intellectual growth. I see myself as an educator, to be sure, but also as a facilitator. I foster an environment where students are accountable to themselves, their peers, their teachers, and their community. My commitment to student-centered learning is evident in student-led discussions, classroom debates, student-created experimentation, and their active questioning and dialogue during class work. I find that my responsibility lies in offering theoretical and practical frameworks from which students may form their own ideas with critical and creative thinking and constant consideration of the process of science. I lead them to find solutions, not by providing a standard answer but by providing necessary ideas, vocabulary and inspiring thoughtful consideration of the subject or problem at hand. Through this type of engagement collaboration is born. The process is not free of frustration or setbacks, but it is the path of discovery - fraught with oxbows, seeming dead-ends, forking paths, and
other obstacles. As Dr. Seuss said: “You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.” When my teaching is successful, I see the pure joy of my students’ faces because they discover or create something on their own! This is my great joy, and my heart is happy for it. Perhaps this is one reason parenting is such an incredible experience. To watch my young daughter embark on her daily discoveries and see her mind grow with such self-determination on her part with only a simple guiding hand from me is simply incredible. My students’ enthusiasm for and interest in science is a refreshing reminder that instilling responsibility for the natural world starts at a young age. If we do not nurture the wonder and wander of our young minds, then we erode the path of discovery and destroy the desire to ask “why” of anything in the world - including nature, art, music, literature, mathematics, love, and morality. We must teach our children that they are independent explorers in their own right and that their processes of discovery and not just answers are what is valued. If successful, their experience with me and in all the things they value will look something like the process of creation as explained by the architect Frank Gehry: “For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I’m not sure where I’m going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn’t do it.”

Catching Up with Peter Conzett, Former Physics Faculty by dave stonebraker
Peter Conzett today at Falmouth Academy
I
arrived at Falmouth Academy on one of those achingly fresh spring days last May when the earth smells of abundance and the heart can imagine all possibilities. I was on a mission to “catch up” with Peter Conzett, physics teacher at Hebron “At Hebron, it was as from 1982 to 1988, and to reintroduce him to the if my colleagues saw Hebron family. As I drove into the school’s visitor in me some good parking, Peter was there, the hub of activity for energy and felt that his senior physics students, as it was Day 1 of the Launch Project, an end-of-year contest in creative it could be guided rocket design fueled by inquisitiveness, competitivea little, but for the ness and just a bit of trash talking.

definitely heading…out of bounds. Score that zero points for accuracy, but a really lovely flight.” Flight follows flight until the close of the session while “Conzett,” as his students name him, keeps up a nonstop chatter through the flights and occasional launch failures, until he gives the summary of the day’s activity. Then students scatter to their next appointments, and Peter and I take up the conversation that is our subject and reported here partly in narrative, and partly in Peter’s own words captured on an old-school tape recorder.
From the Midwest to Maine
Peter’s time at Hebron was relatively short—six years—and it was his first job in teaching. Knowing his roots in the Midwest, I asked how he got to Maine. “I knew nothing about prep schools, really. I was a Midwestern boy, and I was in grad school at Wisconsin with the goal of becoming a PhD. In those days, if you didn’t check the PhD box on the grad school admissions form, that was like checking the box for ‘Do not admit.’ As I went along and things

got slower and the learning curve flatter, I began to have my doubts. One day my research partner said to me, ‘You always wanted to teach, so why not in a school? Why not in the east, where the prep schools are?’ It was all news to me. “I got the list of prep schools in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, and I wrote to the headmasters of all those schools. And JTL [John T. Leyden] and a couple of others wrote back. I didn’t know at the time that people with advanced degrees in physics and math were a special sort of person, and I thought I would just do it for awhile until I was reminded about why the research part of science was so interesting to me. But it just never happened. I think that in many ways my Hebron time was important to forming who I really am, who I became as a teacher. It was the first time that I ever spent time out of doors. Also, I had never really thought in any sophisticated way about what it meant to teach. I had been a student and had had some good teachers and some not so good ones, but I had never thought about the difference.
“At Hebron, it was as if my colleagues saw in me some good energy and were saying that maybe it could be guided a little, but for the most part they’d let me go and see what happened. It was the best kind of mentoring I could have hoped for. I was in an active relationship with some pretty great people in the classroom and on the fields, and I was figuring it out and yet working with people who were letting me have the freedom to try new things and see if they worked. It must have been difficult to watch, knowing that mistakes would happen, and yet also good to see what the outcomes would be. It was the best kind of experience to begin with, and I feel very lucky for that. “Bruce [Found] was so patient with me, and I was probably pretty hard to manage. I had lots of ideas about how things might be done, and I was pretty sure of myself. That had the potential to make things hard, but Bruce was good about letting me go and maybe just tugging a little to get me focused again. He was very generous about that, and when Betsy [Found] became the department head, we had a really wonderful relationship because she had figured out about how to manage me gently and support all the good things that were happening in the sciences then.”
What Big Macs can teach us
Today’s science faculty like Jim Maldonis (above, teaching an Honors Biology class) carry the torch by continuing to prioritize experiential learning and practical application. Like Peter’s, Jim’s teaching career began at Hebron, and he now chairs the Science Department after earning his MS at Tufts.
Peter shortly went on to become a Kingenstein Fellow at Columbia Teachers College and would work on new ways to present concepts in physics and math. Students who studied physics with Conzett will likely remember a question framed during early discussions of approximating which came to them absolutely from left field: “How many Big Macs do you think it would take to fill Fenway Park?” I asked Peter to recall the beginning of the legendary “Big Mac” problem, and his laugh was instantaneous. “That one came by chance from a weird conversation with a friend. Do you remember when the MacDonalds signs used to say ‘Over 70 Billion Served,’ or some such thing?” “My friend said that he just looked at that number and it had no meaning, no mental image, no reference to anything in the real world that he knew. So, I just started to think about a volume, and the idea that if one could grasp the volume of one Big Mac with cheese, pickle, onion and sauce on a sesame seed bun, then one could essentially grasp something about the actual world. And so when you start to think about it, you have a grasp on a relationship to something that is tangible. “You know, people only start to learn when they can connect new information to what they already know. And at that time, I had kind of intuited that idea to be true without really articulating it. And

“It’s important for kids to look at how things work, to have things in their hands, to be curious about something real that’s in front of them. It’s critical to understanding a physics education, but it’s also pretty important for understanding the world.” peter conzett, former physics faculty

“At Hebron I had the freedom to follow what I enjoyed, and I loved the challenge of getting kids to explore, of being less the master and more the guide and watching for the moment when they started to figure out the hard stuff, the good stuff. That is the real joy of teaching.” peter conzett, former physics faculty
Like Peter and Jim Maldonis, Max Jones is another example of a young and gifted faculty member whose teaching career has blossomed at Hebron. In addition to teaching Latin and chairing the World Languages Department, Max takes students surfing year-round, boasts an uncanny passion for etymology, plays guitar in the faculty band and coaches tennis.

so, that was the root of the problem: it was not really about the burgers but about the relationships between the known and the unknown, about being able to put a knowable image in the mind and then connecting the dots between something you knew from experience and something that you had never encountered before.”
The “good stuff”
Our time that morning spun out in reflections of being a new teacher and coach at Hebron, of learning the stuff of teaching by doing it, and how doing it in the company of good colleagues and mentors and with the opportunity and flexibility to explore could provide an invaluable impetus to the profession. As we continued to talk, I baited Peter a bit with the suggestion that launching toy rockets in the spring was just a bit old school, more an opportunity for play than real substance. His retort was immediate, spirited and direct - a tribute to how creative, substantive and just plain fun doing something can be. “We fly rockets because kids today don’t have a clue about rockets. I know we had ways to waste time in our day, but I think it’s important for kids to look at how things work, to have things in their hands, to be curious about something real that’s in front of them. It’s key to understanding a physics education, but it’s also pretty important for understanding the world.
I want to create a situation where there’s not “an app for that.” It’s critical to actually have a physical thing doing something as opposed to having an electronic simulation of what is happening.” When I ask why the physical thing is important to the teaching, Peter is equally quick to reply: “Then we are better off, and why? …because I love it. That may seem such a shallow answer, but it’s probably the truth. I guess I want them to be happy about what they are doing. The simulation is not really a substitute for the realness of it all - but knowing that it was your hand that did it. That’s the joy of it. The inclinometers, the observers, the data collection, the whole contest of it…There’s a lot going on at a whole bunch of different levels. Since the competition goes on for several days, the kids learn from previous mistakes, and they learn from each other, from watching, from figuring things out. They get so much more because I’m not telling them every little thing ahead of time. They learn by what worked and what didn’t today, and then they will go back all fired up to refine their ideas for the next time. It’s the way that the real world works.” Too soon my visit with Peter came to a close. His day would include school meeting, another class, planning for Commencement and perhaps beginning to letter in calligraphy the diplomas for the Class of 2014, a special task that he has been doing for 25 years, his tenure at Falmouth where he continues as honored teacher and coach. Among his students have been Nate and Sarah Twitchell who, like Peter, took their first teaching jobs at Hebron, and a current colleague is Katie Curtis ’02, daughter of Moose Curtis, who is beginning in her first teaching post at Falmouth after graduate work at Dartmouth while her father concurrently winds down his Hebron teaching career. Such are the threads that bind in the world of schools and the way in which the experience of teaching and learning at Hebron has been formative for Peter and a number of others. “Let’s face it,” Peter tells me in parting, “Teaching is a pretty experimental thing. There are moments in teaching that work in unimagined ways, and the thing is you always have to have your finger on it and feel how it will go.” And it has been going well with Peter Conzett, from his early experiences at Hebron where, in his words, “I had the freedom to follow what I enjoyed, and I loved the challenge of getting kids to explore, of being less the master and more the guide asking the question, getting them to go a little further and then to watch for the moment when they started to figure out the hard stuff, the good stuff. That is the real joy of teaching.”

many students say these years at Hebron Academy were “life-changing.” And likewise, if you look at The Association of Boarding Schools (TABS) research on what a boarding school offers you will find survey statistics including:

hebron • fall 2014
• Boarding school students spend twice as much time on homework than public school students. • Three times as many boarding school students than public school students say they feel that they are prepared for college. • 90% of boarding school students describe their teachers as high quality vs. only 50% in public school. • Twice as many boarding school students receive top management career positions over their public school counterparts. Those are amazing, encouraging, and most importantly true results of what boarding schools do, but when parents contact us, in the very beginning, it is much more about wanting to provide their child with the time, place and guidance for a better education. Parents also want to stay connected. More than ever, parents expect to be a part of these important years and with the accessibility and frequency of things like online grade reports, live streaming, electronic newsletters, and social media, it is easier than ever to keep parents apprised and involved in their child’s education. Hebron prides itself on offering numerous ways to promote communication between faculty, advisors, students and parents. Bill Flynn, Co-Director of the Academic Guidance Center (AGC) is fond of describing our educational approach as individually centered, but with a team of support. Parents are part of the team; they know their children and their insight is invaluable. We also know that with a 30% international student population, parents cannot get to Hebron for every home
game, play or concert, so accessing the constant flow of photos in the media gallery, tuning in to live broadcasts, and reading frequent advisor updates keep that parent connection live and current. Although it’s hard to vouch for the famous Claude Allen days, the parents of today are also looking for a place where their child will be happy. Parents want a place where their child will not only learn independence and willpower and be successful in the classroom. They are also as likely to ask about sports and weekend events as they are about college placement. These are precious years for their beloved offspring, and to be in a place where students can follow their passions for the arts and athletics as well as prepare for college is paramount. It turns out that with the research on brain development, balance, sleep and rest, this is as much a matter of good health as a dose of parental love. Hebron’s concern for physical activity and cultural enrichment are cornerstones of what we provide - in fact, with afterschool activities, fresh Maine air, Cohen Chamber Music Concerts, and relaxation on the Sturtevant Porch, we insist on it! Among admissions colleagues across the country and at the college level, conversations do not go far without mention of education cost and the coinciding value of a great independent school. Day-to-day satisfaction as well as outcomes reinforcing value becomes an integral part of the picture that we emphasize in admission. We share our impressive college placement results. We quote our students and graduates all the time—their experience while at Hebron, and their successes beyond Hebron. Initially parents may not be looking for a “game-changer,” but it is almost always what their children get. From the opening welcome sign on the door to ringing the Victory Bell at Commencement, there is a realization that Hebron is a special school and that Hebron delivers. It’s a great day to be a Lumberjack.

ed Lion, former home to the Stonebrakers and later the Ingleharts and once a facultystudent residence, is now the headquarters for Hebron’s Alumni and Advancement Office. Here, a small yet dedicated team – including an alumnus and past Hebron parents – strive to draw support for the school and create human connections with graduates, parents and friends of the Academy. With the ever-increasing cost of tuition and stressors including economic fluctuation and an aging physical plant, Advancement officers are charged with being more savvy than ever in our efforts to raise funds for the school and engage our constituency. It is critical that we cultivate those relationships from our first touch with a family via Admissions and massage that connection through – and well beyond – Commencement. The process of philanthropy has no end: students who pass through our doors will always be part of the Hebron family. Although their perspective may change as adults, it is our job to bring the Hebron Experience to alumni wherever they are in their lives. The approach of the Advancement Office centers on offering value to our constituents so that they feel a part of the Hebron Academy of today. Each spring we present a special opportunity to
join the worlds of Hebron past and present to seniors in a program called the Career Connection Seminars (CCS), which we conceived in 2012. John Slattery ’04 of our Alumni Office expressed a desire to bring alumni back to campus and give them a chance not only to see their school as it stands today but also to offer them a chance to give their time for the betterment of this community. In return, seniors and postgraduates benefit from an opportunity to network and make connections with professionals who were once in their shoes. They gain valuable exposure to successful businessmen and women, entrepreneurs, medical practitioners and marketing moguls. They are able to ask candid questions of these adults with whom they share a given – and lifelong – connection; in turn they learn first-hand of the challenges that lie before them and how to put the skills they learn at Hebron to work in the world. Forty-five minute sessions running concurrently, led by alumni and parent presenters focus on different topics that seniors elect beforehand; the event coincides with a senior spring curriculum that emphasizes resumé building, writing cover letters, and professional presentation. Capping the afternoon is a keynote address, followed by a

He is now a Venture Manager at Royal Street Investment & Innovation Center based in Park City, Utah. Ben’s path was anything but linear – he tried what he loved and maintained a sense of humor and humility. His message and disposition were accessible to Hebron seniors, while his resume provided plenty of professional backing. It was special to be able to present students with such a tremendous role model, and it was equally valuable to be able to bring Ben back to campus and allow him to participate actively in the life of the school and reconnect with his alma mater. Hebron’s aim for the Career Connection Seminars is to initiate an ongoing dialogue between students and alumni that will serve soon-to-be graduates in the broader context of networking and career advancement. It is the school’s hope that conversations started by the CCS will continue well after our students graduate. By building this culture of human connections among our current students and alumni, we are helping to ensure Hebron Academy’s future as a viable, thriving institution.

lessons of the neasc self-study
E
very ten years, Hebron Academy submits to peerreview by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), a process that documents the institution in time and provides the evidence for accreditation with the Association. To prepare, the school engages in a year of examination and reflection upon all aspects of the institution and completes a lengthy self-study report summarizing the work and suggesting opportunities for development, innovation and improvement. This timely selfevaluation has, in large part, given rise to the theme for the new school year and for this issue of HEBRON: Looking from the Inside Out. Over the past year, Athletic Director and longtime faculty member Leslie Guenther has led the comprehensive committee process to examine fourteen critical standards of institutional program and organization, to draft standard reports documenting the Academy’s position, and to recommend points for further review. All members of the school community participated actively in this process. Together, the fourteen standard reports comprised Part I of the self-study. Next, a Steering Committee reviewed and discussed each standard committee’s report, recommending further study and clarification where warranted and
collating and prioritizing areas of strength and recommendations for improvement. The synthesis of this process became the summary section of the self-study, Part II Reflections. Together, the two parts of the self-study will become the evidence presented to the Visiting Committee for Hebron that is appointed by the NEASC and will visit and examine the school in November 2014. The outcome of this visit – the committee’s observations and recommendations - will form the basis of the summary accreditation report presented to Hebron and to the NEASC. However, many of the items already identified in the self-study have become subjects for discussion and action by the Hebron community in the current year. In brief, the Steering Committee for the self-study in their summary Part II - Reflections report has found that Hebron Academy is in quite good shape. Their summary noted several indicators of a thriving school community:
• Support for the school’s mission that is omnipresent in all aspects of school life and program; • A community culture that is welcoming, inclusive and diverse; strong in spirit and valuing individuality;
• A solid yet innovative academic program enhanced by recent
updates to curriculum and strong supporting programs including LIFE, Academic Guidance, English as a Second Language, athletics, entrepreneurship and public speaking;
• An extremely dedicated Faculty
and Staff who are adaptable, resourceful, creative and flexible to do all that is possible to enhance the experience of students;
• Leadership of the Board of
Trustees to understand their role, create positive relationships with faculty, and to provide an overarching framework of bylaws, committee structure and strategic planning to sustain the Academy;
• Facilities upgrades including the
Athletic Center, Allen Field, Lepage Center for the Arts and the Academic Guidance Center in Hupper Library.
Now, the Hebron community anticipates the engaging discussion and evaluation that will take place when the NEASC Visiting Committee comes to campus in November. It will be a time when all in the school open doors and programs for inspiring conversations with visiting colleagues and a chance to share what is most vital and most special about our thriving school.

Dick Jasper writes, “My mother Viola W. Jasper passed away on 3/16/2014 at the age of 1,265 months. She was the Class of 1954’s oldest surviving parent as Dick Jasper was in Maine twice in March for a great lucid visit with her and for her wonderful funeral on 3/22/14. She only spent her final days in bed and died while humming “Softly and Tenderly Jesus is Calling.” With the death of my mother Viola Jasper and my dad (Class of 1925), they have joined “the long green line.” Mom was over 105 and lived well. I inherited mom’s beautiful “Made in N.C., USA” Hebron Blanket! I wonder who are our oldest H.A. living graduates now?”

Elliot Dahan said that he would like to come to the 50th Reunion but his son is getting married that weekend. M. Ray Bradford writes, “I am the proud grandfather of two young boys: Gandt and Griffin. In Feb. 2013 I was appointed Judge of Probate for Penobscot by the Governor of Maine. It’s a part time position so I still have to practice Law for a living! I also currently serve as a Panel Chair of the Grievance Commission of the Maine Board of Overseers of the Bar. Looking forward to our 50th Class Reunion in October. My, how time flies!” Congratulations to David Stromeyer on his latest venture: “We are happy to announce that on June 25th we opened Cold Hollow Sculpture Park, featuring 50+ pieces spanning four decades of work by David Stromeyer. See coldhollowsculpturepark. com for a preview, but plan a trip sometime next summer to see this incredible work in person. Days of operation will be Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 6:00 PM.

classes in the 1930s, now my class is becoming the “old guys”, some great memories, from stories about the Stanley brothers by men who met them, to riding the hot air balloon over campus in 2004.” Congratulations and best wishes to Reeve Bright, whose 16 years of service to Hebron as trustee and Board Chair officially culminated last spring, and to Bill Golden, outgoing trustee, who fulfilled his term after eight years of service.

Split the year between Castine, ME, and Charlottesville, VA, where our three children live.” Terry Coes writes: “It’s been great to hear from my Hebron classmates. Rush Crane still uses a typewriter and doesn’t have a computer. No internet, Rush? I just wrote back to him, via handwritten snail-mail, to ask him what he has been doing for the last 47 years, and I’m still waiting to hear. Stay tuned. David James is retired in Skowhegan after an interesting career as an Army language specialist, interpreter and translator, and then working in the theatre business in New Hampshire and Massachusetts. John Meserve has been in the financial services for the past 40 years, and is now president of a small bank in Merrimac, Massachusetts. John’s been married 40 years, too, and has a grandson and another grandchild on the way. Both John and David mentioned how much they learned from Marshal Clunie ’58, who recently retired from St. Paul’s School. Win Watts is near retirement in Minnesota after a career in the military and as a research engineer. He’s written many articles on a variety of topics from industrial hygiene to exhaust emission control. The fishing is good out there, he says. Win has two sons who are also engineers.

blood sugar levels and injecting saline into one another. The rest of the week I was either trying to get people to sign up for the race or preparing lessons on diabetes to teach to adults and children with diabetes. On Wednesday, we traveled an hour to San Pedro, a small town with very few resources. In San Pedro there is a local group that supplies those with diabetes the necessities that they need to take care of themselves. We split up into four groups with each of us having different lesson plans. We taught adults and children what exactly diabetes is and that there is no limit to what they can and cannot do, but they must take care of themselves properly. It was difficult at times with the kids because many were scared to have their fingers pricked in order to test their blood sugar. It was also difficult with the adults, because they did not like the idea of injecting insulin or spending extra time exercising. This trip to San Pedro was one of my favorite things we did. It was important for us to be there, because the people had so many questions about how to manage their diabetes, because their doctors didn’t inform them very well. One woman was afraid that she couldn’t have children because she thought her child would have diabetes, too. We also visited the local children hospital, the Dr. Robert Reid Cabral Hospital. This visit was truly an eye-opener for me. I was shocked by the Last spring Hannah Hearn ’13, now a sophomore at vast differences Colby, spent two weeks working with diabetes awareness between hospinonprofit AYUDA.
annah Hearn ’13, now a sophomore at Colby, wrote Hebron a letter last spring describing her travels in the Dominican Republic with AYUDA, a nonprofit that stands for American Youth Understanding Diabetes Abroad: I have returned from my twoweek adventure in the Dominican Republic! It truly was an amazing experience, and I am so thankful I got to go. I arrived to the DR on Saturday, May 24th. Upon arrival, I had a few hours to unpack, and then I was sent with the other volunteers to a public park. At the park, we handed out flyers and talked to the locals to try and get them to sign up for Ganemosle, a race that would be held the following Sunday. Ganemosle was the race we spent our week promoting by talking to locals at the gyms, parks, and pharmacies in the DR. The race raises money and awareness for diabetes. We worked with our local partner foundation, Aprendiendo A Vivir (Learning to Live), to promote the race. Later that night, we practiced checking each other’s
tals in the Dominican and those here in the States. The waiting rooms were outside, and the patients had to wait hours before seeing a doctor. We saw children with many different types of illnesses, and we got to see the different parts of the hospital. Although it was hard being in the facility, I realized that I truly do want to be a pediatrician and hopefully be able to help in third world nations. Our last Saturday there, we spent twelve hours in a shopping mall handing out kits and preparing people for the 5K and 10K that was the following day. The next day, we were up at 5:30 AM to head to the park, so we could help set up for the race. During the day, we ran a camp for children with diabetes. There were about 30 kids ranging from age three to 17. We wanted the camp to be fun and not just lessons on diabetes, so we came up with games that incorporated learning activities. I ran the 10K, then came back and helped out with the kids. We had to do glucose level checks to make sure their blood sugar wasn’t too high or too low. If the children’s were too high, we had to inject insulin. If they were too low, we would give them juice or crackers. I really enjoyed working hands-on with the young ones and having the responsibility of ensuring that everything went smoothly. I know this letter was long, but honestly I could write for hours about how awesome this experience was. These were just a few of the highlights! I became really good friends with the other volunteers, both American and Dominican. I definitely plan to go back at some time in the future, and I suggest anyone who is interested in doing something like this to look into AYUDA. Visit www.ayudainc.net for more information.

Amanda’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Torte
B
efore Amanda Small ’14 graduated from Hebron Academy last spring, she let us in on one of her many sweet secrets: her formidable chocolate peanut butter torte. Amanda, a native of Swanville, ME, is currently a freshman at Johnson & Wales University’s College of Culinary Arts (Providence, RI), where she is pursuing her affinity for baking delicious creations. Thanks to her, we now all have a reason to dust off our oven mitts and tackle this rich, chocolatey dessert. She recommends this torte as a sophisticated alternative to a traditional birthday cake:
Athletic Director Leslie Guenther won her first Maine Women’s Amateur golf championship last July. English teacher Trevor Paul and Molly Metevier married last June in Yarmouth, ME.
Former Faculty and Staff:
ingredients
For the crust: 32 Oreo cookies, finely processed into crumbs 51/3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled Small pinch of salt For the crunch: ½ c salted peanuts, finely chopped ½ c mini chocolate chips 2 tsp sugar ½ tsp espresso powder ¼ tsp ground cinnamon Dash of ground nutmeg For the filling: 2 c heavy cream 1¼ c confectioners’ sugar, sifted 12 oz cream cheese, at room temperature 1½ c creamy peanut butter (not natural) 2 tbsp whole milk ¼ c salted peanuts, finely chopped For the topping: ½ c heavy cream 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped ½ c salted peanuts, finely chopped
directions
1. To make the crust, preheat the oven to 350° F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and place it on a baking sheet. Combine the Oreo crumbs, melted butter and salt in a small bowl. Toss with a fork to moisten all of the crumbs. Press into a thin layer covering the bottom and sides of the springform pan.
Current Faculty and Staff:
Amanda Small ’14, now a freshman at Johnson & Wales University’s College of Culinary Arts, shared one of her favorite decadent dessert recipes with us before graduating last spring.
Freeze the crust for 10 minutes. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely before filling. 2. To make the crunch, in another small bowl combine ½ cup of the chopped peanuts, mini chocolate chips, sugar, espresso powder, cinnamon and nutmeg. Toss with a fork to mix and set aside. 3. To prepare the filling, in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip 2 cups of the cream until it holds medium peaks. Beat in ¼ cup of confectioners’ sugar and whip until the cream holds medium-firm peaks. Scrape the cream into a separate bowl and refrigerate until needed. 4. Wipe out (do not wash) the mixer bowl, replace the whisk with the paddle attachment, and beat the cream cheese with the remaining 1 cup of confectioners’ sugar on medium speed until the cream cheese is satiny smooth. Beat in the peanut butter, whole milk, and ¼ cup of the chopped peanuts until well combined. 5. Using a large rubber spatula, gently stir in about 1/4 of the whipped cream just to lighten the
mousse. Still working with the spatula, stir in the crunchy peanut mixture, then gingerly fold in the remaining whipped cream. Scrape the mousse into the crust, mounding and smoothing the top. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight; cover with plastic wrap as soon as the mousse firms. 6. To finish the torte, put the chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Leave the bowl over the water just until the chocolate softens and starts to melt, about 3 minutes; remove the bowl from the saucepan. Bring the ½ cup of cream to a full boil. Pour the cream over the chocolate and, working with a rubber spatula, very gently stir together until the ganache is completely blended and smooth. 7. Pour the ganache over the torte, smoothing with a metal icing spatula. Scatter the peanuts over the top and chill to set the topping, at least 20 minutes. When the ganache is firm, remove the sides of the springform pan. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

hidden gems The Academy’s Bell-Lipman Archives host two centuries-worth of nostalgia, only a handful of which has been seen by living eyes. In “Hidden Gems,” school archivist and longtime Hebron faculty member Dave Stonebraker unearths rare images and memorabilia that have never before been published.
Repurposing the Reading Room
W
hen conceiving the design of a new academy building in 1890, architect John Calvin Stevens included in his drawings a spacious room with large windows in the western half of the building to serve as a meeting room for the school. As much as any space on the Hebron Campus, this room holds the memories of activity and events for students, alumni, parents and friends. From the time when it was first proposed to Principal William Sargent and Board Chairman Percival Bonney, this airy open room has served a variety of functions and has been configured in many ways.
The “Chapel,” c. 1891 (above) The room first served as a general meeting room for the school in the 1890s. It was appointed with a raised dais and lectern, high wainscoting and oil lamps for evening events. By custom apparently, the girls were seated on one side and the boys on the other. A piano graced the corner to accompany hymn singing, and the portrait of Benjamin Sturtevant, a patron of the building, hung above the fireplace to the right. Straight-backed chairs upon a wooden floor completed a simple and functional meeting room and Chapel for the school. In 1927, the room continued to serve as the school’s “Chapel,” and the stained glass tributes to Trustee William Henry French and Benjamin Sturtevant had been added. In a place of honor between the fireplaces, a lovely landscape had been added. As reported
Presently, Head of School John King anticipates another re-purposing of the room, an opportunity for the space to become a more general commons for student study, for group meetings and for more formal activities of the Admissions Office and the Board of Trustees. As part of proposed appointments, several of the Academy’s important “treasures,” paintings that have been neglected for decades, should have conservation work completed to once again grace the walls of the spacious room. Here, then, are images and commentary on the “Reading Room” from across the decades.
in Semester magazine in the winter of 1965, the painting came to the school “on Commencement Day in 1896 when Mrs. Rose Heywood, Class of 1886, returned to Hebron to visit with her friends and alumnae. On the occasion, she presented the Academy with the painting “Franconia Notch Echo Lake” {see box page 56}, painted by her uncle Benjamin Whitten.” For many years the painting did hang on the front wall of the chapel; then it mysteriously disappeared, only to be discovered some time later in the loft of the Stearns
House barn. After considerable cleaning and repair by Vivian M. Akers, Class of 1908, the painting has been returned to its place on the wall of the old chapel, now called the Hannibal Hamlin Reading Room.
The Reading Room, c. 1957 (below) In this snapshot from the 1950s, the mood of the room is strictly utilitarian. The dark oak wainscoting remains as well as the decorative arch above the main door which mirrored the arch over the dais of the former chapel, but the regimentation of the time is reflected in the rows of simple study chairs. It may be that the image reflects the room arranged for testing, and perhaps an alumnus of the time might respond with memories of the room as the school’s primary study hall during the 1950s.

The Hamlin Reading Room, today (below)
The George W. Treat Reading Room, c. 1960 (above)
tannery hill studios
Apparently, the room was renamed in the 1950s to honor trustee George Treat, Class of 1894, for his service to the Academy from 1927 - 1952, and in 1960, trustee John Halford, Class of 1903, provided for a complete remodeling of the facility. In this image from 1960, a large conference table, leather chairs and floor lamps appoint the room, the furnishings in keeping with tone of a boys’ school. Mr. Halford had also commissioned the portrait of Hannibal Hamlin, Class of 1829, by Vivian Akers and had secured Hamlin’s personal desk from his law office in Hamden, ME, as a centerpiece for the room. Raised paneling and large paintings on the rear wall completed a decor worthy of the reading room of a collegiate library. By the 1970s, the room was known as the Hamlin Reading Room, its present name; however, in time the paintings and the large furniture would be removed, and the room would revert to more flexible and functional service.
Presently, the portrait of Hannibal Hamlin continues to grace the room from between the fireplaces. However, the decor has changed yet again to support multiple uses for the space, the largest general purpose room on the Hebron campus. It is bright and light with flexible seating at small tables to serve small and large meetings. During the year, the Reading Room becomes the place where the Middle School gathers each morning, a place for class media presentations, small lectures and debates, as well as a functional space easily adapted for Class Meetings, Faculty Meetings, Admissions Open Houses, Trustee meetings, and the Middle School Science Fair. It is the room where Hebron’s Visiting Committee of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges will establish its home base during its evaluative visit to the school in November. It is also the location of the final meeting of each graduating class before the members process to Baccalaureate in the Chapel. And, at times, it becomes a quiet island in the center of the school for reading and study. However, once again layout and appointments of the Hamlin Reading Room are being considered for re-purposing and updating. The challenge is that the room continues to be a focus of much campus activity. As such, it needs to remain versatile in order to host a variety of functions. At the same time, Head of School John King would like the room to have a more formal feel, to become a sort of

Franconia Notch – Echo Lake
Art Treasures Conservation Project Trustee David Williams ’60 is leading an effort to restore a number of Hebron’s significant paintings after decades of inattention. Several of the pieces in need of conservation were originally intended for the Hamlin Reading Room, the Cohen Room and other special places on campus; however, because of their age and years of benign neglect, they cannot presently be displayed to their best advantage. Among the works in need of conservation are Benjamin Witten’s “Franconia Notch – Echo Lake” - a piece originally intended for the Reading Room; the portraits by Vivian Akers, Class of 1908, of Hannibal Hamlin and William Sargent; the portraits of Academy patrons Benjamin Sturtevant and Phoebe Sturtevant as well as other portraits and landscapes. The Maine Project for Fine Art Conservation (Project MEAC), a nonprofit group of professional conservationists in Portland, has performed preliminary evaluations of a dozen of the Academy’s paintings and has recommended crucial restorative work. Mr. Williams would invite alumni and friends to join him in this project to bring a number of special pieces of art back to prominent display in the school. Please contact Pat Layman, Director of

Planned Gifts: Investing in Hebron’s Vision
“
The first time we stepped on the Hebron campus we felt at home. During the four years our son Tim was there we made friends that will endure for a lifetime. Hebron is family. We saw our son nurtured and prodded by Hebron to grow into the young man he is today. My late wife and I have always given to the Hebron Annual Fund, and I feel fortunate that I can remember Hebron in my estate plans. It is a very special place on the crowded educational landscape.
”
steve smith p ’09 Hebron Academy inspires and guides students to reach their highest potential in mind, body and spirit.
Including Hebron Academy in your charitable estate planning is one of the most personal ways to express your philanthropy. We are forever grateful for this commitment, and we honor those who remember the Academy in this way by recognizing them as members of the Franklin Society. The society was named to celebrate Dr. Benjamin Franklin’s qualities of foresight, prudent financial management and intellectual achievement. Dr. Franklin serves as a symbol of building up on the past for the benefit of the future.
