from me this year.

TrueFalse

7. I still have plenty of time to make an annual fund contribution.

TrueFalse

8. This year’s Hebron Annual Fund goal is $650,000.

TrueFalse

The Hebron Annual Fund and earned endowment income combine

to generate a “silent scholarship”—the annual operating revenue

that supports every student. Tuition alone only covers approxi-

mately 80% of the cost of educating Hebron students.

Annual fund dollars support and enhance

every facet of the Hebron experience, from

academics to arts to faculty salaries.

Gifts may be designated to any of six areas or to the

strategic priorities of the Academy. You may also make

a gift to be used at the Head of School’s discretion.

Every dollar raised helps us fulfill our biggest commitment—

inspiring and guiding students to reach their highest potential

in mind, body and spirit.

For the remainder of this fiscal year (and through December

2004), any gift designated for faculty support, or any new or

increased gift, will be matched fifty cents on the dollar by the

Edward E. Ford Foundation.

All gifts are welcome; however, annual fund support is the

cornerstone of philanthropy at Hebron, and is the first gift the

Academy encourages all alumni/ae, parents and friends to make.

The school depends on regular and consistent annual support.

The Hebron Annual Fund operates in conjunction

with the Academy’s fiscal year, which ends on

June 30th.

This year’s budget requires $650,000 in annual fund sup-

port. This 14% increase directly supports every student and

faculty member. We need your help to meet this challenge.

Editor’s Note

Over the last 18 months we have had many opportunities to answer the ques-tion, “What’s the best thing about Hebron Academy?” The answer is almostalways “The people, of course.” For 200 years, Hebron’s people have defined

its essence. From the single-minded purpose of founder Deacon Barrows, whose impas-sioned “ewe lamb speech” prevented the school’s removal to Paris Hill in 1819; to

Charlie Dwyer, class of 1904, who returned to teach andcoach after graduating from Colby and sustained hisHebron career into the early sixties; to “local boy” JohnSlattery, class of 2004, whose love for Hebron—town andschool—shone brightly in his Commencement address.

In our bicentennial year we are celebrating not onlythe Academy’s 200th birthday, but also the people whoare Hebron. You are one of them. Visit our bicentennialweb site (www.habicentennial.org) and tell us yourHebron story. Come to Homecoming in October whenwe will honor our past, celebrate our present, and toastour future. We look forward to seeing you.

I was particularly interested inplans for campus changes, a newfield house (certainly needed inMaine) and renovation of thegym for fine arts. It was a goodfifty years ago that I startedexploring the jungle of Collinsorchards “down over the hill” forwhat eventually became theDwyer fields. As Director ofAthletics and track coach, the“Bowl” and its odd length, up-and-down, four lane (here andthere) cinder track simply had tobe replaced. Running a good“athletics for all” program on onefield was a challenge. When Istarted soccer (the first in Maine),we got permission to convert two

cow pastures at the WesternMaine Sanitarium to soccer fields.They were beautiful—completewith view of the White Moun-tains. Teams went up and back inthe old bus, known as the “GreenHornet.” That first team had fourSpanish-speaking kids on it:Peter Giesemann, JohannNottebohm, Pat Tracey, andChris MacPherson, who hadgrown up with soccer. Theyshouted to each other in Spanishon the field and Evan West, thecoach, never did know what theywere talking about.

White House Chief of Staff Andrew Card was the keynote speaker at the Oxford Hills Chamber of Commerce’s

annual dinner, held at Hebron Academy on Thursday, January 29. Secretary Card graciously carved some time

out of his tightly-planned schedule to meet with Hebron students. His address to the sold-out crowd of more

than 300 community members focused on his role as Chief of Staff, his experiences in the Bush administration,

and his personal inspirations for involvement in politics. He emphasized the importance of citizen participa-

tion in democracy. Seen here are: Megan Irving ’04, Louise Roy ’05, Tina Voigt ’05, Cindy Lebel ’04, Secretary

On April 30, 2004, the

Hebron Academy com-

munity celebrated acad-

emic achievement at its annual

Cum Laude Society induction.

Sixteen students were honored at

the ceremony, which included the

induction of twelve new members

and an address by guest speaker

Margaret T. McFadden, assistant

professor of American Studies at

Colby College.

In her address, Dr. McFadden

focussed on the pervasive nature

of popular culture today and urged

the audience to think critically

about the messages contained in

television, movies, popular music,

magazines, video games, the inter-

net and advertising. She argued

that popular culture is important to

analyze because the world is satu-

rated in it and because our daily

reality is increasingly defined by it.

Modeled after Phi Beta Kappa,

the Cum Laude Society was

founded in 1906 to recognize acad-

emic achievement in secondary

schools. Cum Laude now consists

of nearly 350 chapters, primarily in

independent schools in the United

Happy Birthday Hebron Academy!The Hebron Academy com-

munity gathered on February

11 to celebrate Founders

Day and officially begin its year-

long bicentennial celebration.

“Happy 200th birthday Hebron

Academy!” Head of School John

King exclaimed, as he welcomed

guests to the event. “Today we

begin the celebration of our

school’s bicentennial and its future.”

Hebron was granted a charter in

1804 by the General Court of

Massachusetts, 16 years before

Maine became a state. To mark

Founders Day and provide listen-

ers with a sense of the school’s

rich history, students read a for-

mer teacher’s diary entries,

descriptions of school life in 1860,

and original school rules and reg-

ulations. The program included a

retelling of events in 1819, when

the Academy’s only school build-

ing burned to the ground and

how a stirring speech by one of its

founders, Deacon William

Barrows, thwarted an attempt to

move the school from Hebron. At

the program’s close, everyone was

invited to sing the school hymn, a

tradition at many events. The

hymn was written in 1891 by

Reverend Samuel F. Smith, author

of the song “America.”

Although it is one of the nation’s

oldest endowed boarding

schools, Hebron’s mission and

core values have remained consis-

tent with the charge contained in

the original charter: that students

be taught liberal arts and sciences

and educated to revere life and to

respect and honor individuality.

Under Mr. King’s leadership, the

Academy recently reaffirmed its

mission to inspire and guide stu-

dents to reach their highest

potential in mind, body, and spirit.

Students participating in the pro-

gram included: Molly Curtis ‘06,

Bum Seek Kim ‘04, John Slattery

‘04, Elizabeth Cole ‘05, Jamie

Frederick ‘05, Ben Sukeforth ‘05,

Algerson André ‘06, Amy

Shackford ‘06, Sarah Irish ‘07,

Noah Love ‘07, Gabe Rubenstein

‘08, Katherine Stewart ‘08, Kala

Granger ‘09, Emma Roy 09,

Delton Hulbert ‘10 and Jordan

Ramharter ‘10. Teacher Cynthia

Reedy, who organized the event,

provided closing comments,

telling the assembled community,

“By being here, on this day, you

are all a part of Hebron

Academy’s history.”

Food service staffers Barbara Martin, Jeanie Hall and Lu-Ann Hall prepareparty subs for the surprise Founders Day party on February 11, 2004.

Students and faculty were treated to a surprise birthday party follow-

ing the official Founders Day program on February 11. The dining

room was decorated with party hats, noisemakers, piñatas, balloons,

streamers and confetti; and the food service produced party subs and

burgers with all kinds of toppings.

Every ten years, HebronAcademy undergoes anaccreditation review by

the New England Association ofSchools and Colleges (NEASC).The goals of the accreditationprogram are school improve-ment and quality assurance. It isa three-part process: a self-studyconducted by the school, a four-day visit by a committee of edu-cators selected by NEASC’sCommission on IndependentSchools, and a follow-up pro-gram supervised by the com-mission.

In addition to committingto continuous improvement,NEASC-accredited schoolsmust demonstrate that theymeet dozens of standardsrelated to educational program-ming and nearly all aspects ofschool operation. The self-studyinvolves students, faculty, staff,

parents and trustees, and usu-ally takes 12 to 18 months tocomplete. Because Hebron is aboarding school, our self-studyincluded a supplement for resi-dential programs.

The first organizationalmeetings were held in Novem-ber 2002 and were followed byworkshops in the spring of2003. In the fall, committeesreviewed their work, and assem-bled the draft, which wasreviewed by the Board ofTrustees in January and sent tothe visiting committee inFebruary. In April, the visitingcommittee spent four days atHebron talking to faculty, stu-dents, and staff. Their finalreport and recommendationswill be available later this year.

In a letter to HebronAcademy, visiting committeechair Jeanine Norris stated that,

“It was clear to all on theCommittee that the adults whowork with young people areprofessionals with big heartsand high aspirations for stu-dents… Each member of theCommittee observed the senseof community all around us andsaw evidence at every turn ofthe faculty’s dedication andcommitment. That spirit, as youknow, is the heart of the school.”

“We are proud of the workthat we’re doing to put Hebronon a strong footing for the startof our third century,” said JohnKing, Head of School. “And weare especially proud of ourinclusive, supportive commu-nity that is a hallmark ofHebron Academy.”

The outcome of the processwill be a set of activities to addressrecommendations from theCommittee and from the self-study. Hebron Academy hasalready started work on expandingthe integration of technology intoits curriculum, modifying its stu-dent advising system, and enhanc-ing the residential life program.

NEASC, founded in 1885, isthe oldest of six regional accred-iting associations in the U.S. Itserves more than 1,800 publicand independent schools, col-leges, and universities in Maine,Massachusetts, New Hampshire,Vermont, Connecticut, andRhode Island. NEASC also con-sults with education ministriesaround the world to assist in theestablishment of accreditationsystems. Hebron Academy hasbeen accredited by NEASCsince 1946.

beyond the bowlSeven Hebronians moved to France this spring. French teacher Bénédicte Méplain and

science teacher Sarah Twichell traveled with Julian Flint ’06, Chris Nadeau ’04, JamieQuinlan ’04, Louise Roy ’05 and Bo Warrick ’04 on a 12-day tour that allowed them to slipinto French life. For most of their stay they were based in the Monnier family house in Dol-de-Bretagne (1) where they cooked most of their own meals (5) and toured the surroundingarea. High points included visits to the War and Peace Museum and beaches at Normandy,

the old town of Port de Dinan (2), St. Malo (4), and Mont-St. Michel (6); fitting all seveninto a French car; and trying the croissants at every boulangerie they passed (3). The

students spoke French every day, buying food and stamps, talking with peoplethey met and asking for directions. They finished their trip in Paris,

strolling on the Champs Elysées, picnicking in the Tuileries,and visiting the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the

Musée d’Orsay.

In the winter and spring, Hebron

Academy’s English IV teachers

teach seminar courses on a vari-

ety of themes. This year Sara

Armstrong offered a course that

examined real people and real sto-

ries. “The reading list was all first-

person memoirs or third-person

journalistic pieces telling another’s

story,” Ms. Armstrong said. “We

also included documentary film,

approaching it analytically, as we

would a piece of literature.”

Among the books Ms.

Armstrong chose for her class was

Funny in Farsi: A Memoir of

Growing Up Iranian in America by

Firoozeh Dumas. Ms. Dumas and

her family moved from Iran to

southern California in the early

1970s, when she was seven years

old. Her memoir relates humorous

and insightful stories about her

family’s experiences in America.

After reading the book, stu-

dents wrote questions to the

author, who offered to talk with

them by telephone. Ms. Dumas

proved to be lively, interesting and

warm. She answered many ques-

tions about her memoir—telling the

students “what happened next”—

and then turned the tables, asking

her interviewers about their lives

and about life in Maine.

Other reading included Into

the Wild by John Krakauer and

Ron Suskind’s A Hope in the

Unseen: An American Odyssey

from Inner City to the Ivy League.

The class watched Daughter from

Danang, in which an adopted

Amerasian woman returns to

Vietnam to be reunited with her

birth mother after more than 20

years; and Hoop Dreams, which

follows two basketball players

through high school and beyond

as they attempt to use their sport

to “get out” of inner-city Chicago.

As a final project, the students

interviewed a member of the

community and prepared a pre-

sentation of some kind about that

person. Projects included written

articles, computer presentations,

and an art project—painted tiles

representing the person’s life.

The winter and spring seasons can hold particu-lar challenges for Hebron’s teams. Decembersnow and bitter January cold forced the

rescheduling of several winter contests; mid-April rainsdid the same in the spring. Our winter teams faredquite well: girls’ basketball was much improved; boys’varsity basketball completed their most successful sea-son in years; boys’ varsity hockey won 11 of their last12 games, missing a New England play-off berth byonly 1⁄2 point; and the girls’ hockey team made it tothe first round of the New England tournament. Thegirls’ alpine finished second in maisads and sixth innepsacs; the boys were third and eighth.

After a long winter, we started spring’s short seasonwith modest expectations, yet ended with astoundingsuccess. In what may be a school record, no fewer thanfive teams earned maisad titles: baseball, softball, boys’track and field, girls’ lacrosse and boys’ jv lacrosse.Congratulations to all the athletes and their coaches—winter and spring—for their individual and teamaccomplishments.

Hartgen Family Makes Gift ofArt and Books to Hebron

Like many parents who sendtheir children to boardingschool, Frances and

Vincent Hartgen considered theissues carefully. They wantedmore opportunities for their sons,David and Stephen, than wereavailable in the Orono publicschool system. They researchedindependent schools, narrowingthe choices to John Babst inBangor, Hebron and Holderness,with Hebron as their preferredschool. In a recently completedmemoir, Frances Hartgen wrotethat it was an agonizing decision,in which they weighed the pull

of family life against whatHebron had to offer as an educa-tional environment. In the end,Claude Allen awarded scholar-ships to the boys and theyentered Hebron in the fall of1958. They were not quite 14years old.

The boys were homesick atfirst but eventually settled in andcame to realize that their parentswere right to push them into thisnew academic environment.

“Hebron academics were noteasy,” recalled Stephen Hartgen’62. “We had three to five hoursof homework daily (one hour of

homework for every hour ofclass), and evenings were spent atour desks in our rooms from 7:00to 10:00 p.m. or later.”

David Hartgen ’62 said thatat first he questioned his parents’motives, “but things began tochange when I took WilliamGanter’s Latin I course and sent ahalting letter home written inLatin. Recently Mom told methat sending us off to Hebronwas one of the most difficultthings they ever did, but shenever regretted it, and seeing usnow in our professions she woulddo it again without hesitation.”

David and Stephen bothcredit Hebron with instilling asense of discipline in them thathelped them do well in collegeand in their careers. “Withoutdiscipline nothing is possible,but with it all is possible.” Davidsaid. “The confidence I learnedthrough discipline at Hebron wasthe primary force in my successin government and academics.”

The Hartgen family hasgiven generously toHebron over the years.

Even before David and Stephengraduated in 1962, Frances andVincent Hartgen made monetarygifts and contributions of art andreference materials to the school.

After they retired in the1970s, the Hartgens determinedthat Hebron needed a better artcollection for its library. They senta carload of art books, reference

material and other library materi-als, intended, in part, as a “testcase,” to see if Hebron would treatthem well. “Of course they shouldnot have worried,” David said.

On a visit to the library,Stephen and his wife, Linda,noticed one of Vincent’s paintingson the wall and several books onthe shelves in the art section.“They contained some nice bookplates showing our dad’s name asthe donor. So it seemed to methat Hebron was making use ofthe materials and giving appro-priate recognition,” said Stephen.

Following Vincent’s death in2002, the Hartgen familydecided to give a substan-

tial part of his collection toHebron Academy. The gift, con-sisting of two paintings and over160 art books and referencematerials, is intended to “roundout” the Hupper Library art ref-erence collection. The gift is con-sistent with the family’s wish “toexpress appreciation for the influ-ences that Hebron has had on ourlives over the years.”

“Dad was insistent that thesebooks go to Hebron to add toprevious gifts,” remarked David.Through the Hartgen collection,Hebron students have access tomaterials that are not commonlyavailable at secondary schools.Forest Perkins ’55, Chair ofHebron’s Fine Arts department,recognizes the significant value ofthis gift for the Academy. “It’s anextensive collection and a won-derful, wonderful resource for theAcademy to have,” he said.Stephen and David Hartgen in 1961.


philanthropyShortly after David and

Stephen graduated, French teacherGeorge Freiday was helpful instewarding the gift of two water-colors for the new science build-ing. Some years later, Mr. Freidayproudly pointed them out toDavid, who was visiting. “Wefound them nicely placed, one inthe entrance of the science hall andthe other in the Sturtevant library.Only one problem…the sciencehall painting was upside down!With Dad’s ‘forest floor’ art it wassometimes hard to tell.” Davidquietly pointed this out to Mr.Freiday. “A pall of embarrassmentwashed over his face! He never,ever mentioned it again, but thelast time I visited the painting washung right! Dad loved this story,and retold it many times, oftenending that from God’s perspec-tive there was no ‘up’ to a forestfloor so Mr. Freiday should havejust left it alone!”

Stephen A. Hartgen ’62 graduatedfrom Amherst College (1966) andlater earned graduate degrees (MA,Brandeis, 1967; PhD, University ofMinnesota, American History, 1976).Stephen has been in newspaper jour-nalism since his first job as an internreporter at the Bangor Daily News.In 2004, he was named a regional

publisher for Lee Enterprises, over-seeing The Times-News and severalother daily and weekly newspapers inIdaho and Nevada. In the 1970s,Stephen taught journalism at theUniversity of Minnesota and OhioState University as an assistant pro-fessor of journalism and was a co-author of a leading journalism text-book, New Strategies for Public AffairsReporting. He lives in Twin Falls,Idaho, with his wife, Linda, who istrialcourt administrator for the Stateof Idaho’s Fifth Judicial District.

David T. Hartgen ’62 is Professorof Transportation Studies at theUniversity of North Carolina atCharlotte, where he established theCenter for InterdisciplinaryTransportation Studies and nowteaches and conducts research on awide variety of topics. He graduatedfrom Duke University (1966) andNorthwestern University (MS, 1967;PhD 1973) in civil engineering.David is the author of about 320articles and reports in transportationpolicy and planning, and is U.S. edi-tor of the international journalTransportation. His comparative stud-ies of transportation systems are cov-ered widely in the US and statemedia. David has one daughter,Alice, and lives in Concord, NorthCarolina, with his wife (also namedLinda), a former microbiology pro-fessor.

Vincent Hartgen, father of Stephen ’62 and

David ’62, studied architecture and fine arts at

the University of Pennsylvania, and was curator

for the Anna Hyatt Huntington Collection during its

tour of the United States and Europe before World

War II. In 1946, he became the first professor of art at

the University of Maine, Orono. He remained at the

University of Maine for more than 35 years, teaching

over 10,000 students, and touching the lives of many

more. For much of that time he was director of the

University of Maine Art Museum. He established the

university’s 1600-piece art collection, was a tireless

advocate for arts education in Maine, and amassed

an impressive collection of art books and reference

materials.

Entranced by Maine’s spectacular beauty, he com-

pleted over 3,000 watercolors and drawings during

his 56-year love affair with the state. He had a show

on display at Aucocisco Gallery in Portland at the

time of his death.

The Hartgen family has given the University of

Maine a collection of Vincent’s artworks, papers,

sketchbooks and other materials, to be known as the

Vincent Hartgen Teaching Collection. In June 2004,

the University of Maine will honor Vincent with a ret-

rospective show. There will also be a groundbreaking

ceremony for a new art education building in which a

lecture hall will be named for him.

Frances Hartgen trained as a teacher at Syracuse

University, and was the first of her family to go to col-

lege. She worked for a time teaching eighth grade

English in Maine,

then joined the

University of

Maine’s Fogler

Library staff and

became its first

head of special

collections.

Farewell, Class of 2004

Today I would like to speak to you about maplesyrup and my fond memories of Hebron. The mem-ories that I wish to share with you have much more

to do with maple syrup than you may think. It takes manyhours of work and nearly forty gallons of sap to create onepure, grade-A gallon of maple syrup. The fond memoriesand great achievements that I will share on this day are thatgallon of sweet syrup, the hard work and refinement of allthe other memories that have shaped our time here.

Led by piper Chris Pinchbeck ’87, the bicentennial class exits the commencement ceremony.

Presented here are excerpts from the commence-ment address delivered by class president JohnSlattery on May 22, 2004.

The hard work that it takes tomake syrup is very similar to thework and endless hours spent tomake this day possible. I know thatwhen I’m out in the maple orchardputting up lines and taps or stack-ing the wood for the evaporator fire,it sure doesn’t feel like any progressis being made towards our goal ofmaking syrup. However, withoutany lines, taps or firewood, none ofthe precious sap that we collect canbe turned into golden maple syrup.This is like staying up all nightstudying for a precal exam. In theend, all the exams, the papers andprojects and the 2,000 days ofschool have led up to this great oneand hopefully many more.

To the locals, Hebron is a town;to the students, Hebron is a school;but to me, the only real “townie,” ifyou will, it is a home. I have tohonestly say that I take the label of“local boy” with pride; it hasallowed me to bridge the gapbetween two communities in onetown. Being the local boy, you are

assumed to be the resident hick,and to some extent that may betrue. I do drive a truck that is olderthan I am. Yeah, it’s got a hemi,and it did come with gun rack. Yes,I do get the hunting and fishingcombo license as a stocking stufferat Christmas. On the other hand, Ihave tried sushi, and no, I didn’tbuy it at the racetrack concessionstand or the Village Trading Post. Ican contribute to an in-depth con-versation on the book Ishmael. Someof my best friends are from ten dif-ferent states, five provinces and fourcountries.

Before my time at Hebron, peo-ple were sharing many of the sameexperiences that the Class of 2004has. The classes before us havestrived and struggled through theexaminations, papers and projectsthat we have and as many futureclasses will. Many of the alumni/aehave experienced the same greatrivalries with Kents Hill andGould. At Homecoming last fall Imet Mr. Payson Perkins, an alum-

Elliott Watts, Chelsea Lipham, Taylor Lalemand, Garrick Johnson, Laura Fleck and Asher Anderson.

Math teacher Andy Stephenson ’96 deliveredthe Baccalaureate address, urging the classto make good choices as they go forward inlife.


nus and former trustee. Throughour several letters and conversationon that day I learned that we havemuch in common. For starters, weare both Mainers and even if hedoesn’t get the hunting and fishingcombination license as a stockingstuffer I know he gets it because heis an avid hunter and fisherman.However there is a bond far deeperthat all students share with Mr.Perkins—we have all attendedHebron and will soon be graduat-ing from here. We all share thissame great bond with Mr. RoscoeHupper as well. Mr. Hupper gavethe centennial speech of 1904 hereat Hebron Academy 100 years ago,and the Hupper Library is part ofour beautiful campus. Whoknows—someday graduation maybe held in the Slattery Auditorium,if the weather doesn’t want to coop-erate.

In my first experience at HebronI wasn’t a student, but an outsider

looking in. I didn’t believe mymother when driving by that thisplace was a school because it lookedfar too nice. From that point on Iknew I wanted to go here based onthe physical beauty alone. I soonlearned that Hebron offered morethan beauty. As a small child Iskated on the outdoor rink that sitswhere we are today in RobinsonArena. I would drive my ten-speedbike around the old green tracklong before I got hemi power. Thento my delight, my best friend’sfather became the headmaster hereat Hebron. When they moved intoAllen House I spent a lot of timehere. At the ripe old age of nine Iwatched a boy by the name ofJamie Roche, who ten years laterbecame my hockey coach, dean ofstudents, mentor and friend.

Is there anyone in this audience who

does not know that Hebron Academy

is 200 years old this year and that this

class of 2004 is the bicentennial class?

But why the big deal? Why are we ask-

ing you seniors to mark this milestone

with a time capsule to capture this place

in history?

It’s because right now, you are at the

head of a long line of young people

who have traveled here and moved on,

somehow different and stronger than

when you came, whether you have been

here for twelve years or one. You are

part of a line, a continuum that started

200 years ago and will move on into the

next hundred years as the juniors and

underclassmen and women step up to

take your place.

But what is it that’s lasted for 200

years? It’s not a building; there’s no

building on this campus that’s close to

200 years old. And there’s no person

who’s been with Hebron for 200 years,

although some of you suspect Mr.

Perkins or Mr. Chase as qualifying. It’s

Hebron—a spirit, an understanding, an

experience—that comes from being

here with the people who are here with

you, learning with them and from them.

Who would have thought in thecold month of March that many tal-ented athletes would be getting astanding ovation alongside themany skilled dramatists for theirpart in “Grease.” I can honestly saythat the “Greased Lightning” num-ber and great ovation after themusical will be forever etched inmy memory as will the strong feel-ings and the love that I have forthis place and the people here.Hebron is where my heart has beenfor the last four years.

Now that you have heard metalk, you may be thinking, “That isan awful big gallon of syrup,” butit’s hard for me to talk aboutHebron without a little sap.

Campus Master Plan

As Hebron Academy’s population growsand the needs of the school change, it isclear that we need more classroom space, amodern athletic facility and a fine arts cen-ter. Harriman Associates, a local architec-ture and engineering firm, conducted aseries of meetings and interviews withmembers of the community and did anassessment of the physical plant. Presentedon this page is an overview of their recom-mendations. The following page offers acloser look at the proposed science buildingaddition. [Please note that these plans are notarchitectural renderings.]

Key to Site Plan Overview

1. New field house addition to Robinson Arena.

2. Sargent Gymnasium becomes arts center and

possibly the student center.

3. Addition to Treat Science Building would pro-

vide four labs, clearing four classroom spaces,

possibly for Middle School use.

4. Two classrooms could replace the gallery (relo-

cated to arts center) in lower level of Hupper

Library.

5. A student center addition could be made to

either Sturtevant Home or Sargent Gym

6. Sturtevant dining facilities could expand to the

east or west of the existing building.

7. Possible addition to Atwood Dormitory.

Possible future dormitory.

8. New vehicular circulation creating two loop

roads; potential area for new playing fields

and possible septic field, pending soil tests.


NewTricks for Treat

Although hardly geriatric at the age of34, the Treat Science Building cer-tainly isn’t a kid any more either. Its

large lecture hall, library, modern classroomsand laboratories were a welcome addition tothe campus in 1960 and have been put tosteadily increasing use ever since.

Part of the academic core of the campus(with the school building and library), thescience building is used by all disciplinestoday. The 76-seat lecture hall is the site forfull faculty/staff meetings, lectures, presen-tations, movies and small drama produc-tions. The math department calls it home,and a double classroom houses the high-traffic computer center. The lobby providesa place for between-class study or a quickcheck of meteorological conditions at theelectronic weather station. Mr. Chase’s year-

These floor plans show possible uses for the existing space, as well as the proposed addition on the rear of the building. New construction is shown in white, renovatedareas in dark gray and unchanged areas in light gray.

Charged with finding a way to ease con-gestion and update the classroom and labo-ratory facilities, Harriman Associates cameup with an elegant solution: the classicNew England “ell.” The addition willgreatly increase the available teachingspace, encompassing labs for earth science,biology, chemistry and physics as well as aclassroom, conference room and study areafor students. The old labs will become gen-

eral-purpose classrooms and studio space forMiddle School art classes. There will also beroom to expand the computer center.

No, the Science Building isn’t a kid anymore, but this well-deserved extension willbring it new vitality.

Hebron Academy: 1885–1943

This is the second installment of a timeline of Hebron Academy history, covering theperiod from 1885, when William Sargent became principal, through the closing ofthe school during World War II. “Prof” Sargent’s tenure was marked by a huge

period of growth for the school and the development of the campus as we know it today.His successor, Ralph “Buster” Hunt, oversaw the change to boys-only; shepherded theschool through the Depression; and, as boys and masters alike enlisted in the armed forces,closed the doors in 1943 for the duration of the war.

Thestone wall runs along what is now the Hebron Station Road. The building on the left is Trustee House, the first school-owned boarding house which burned in October1899 and stood a little south of where Atwood Hall is now located. In the center are the 1847 Academy building and the school chapel, which was later turned about 90°and became Cook Gymnasium. At the far right is the church.

Building the FutureDorothy and Bob Rich’49 make arrangementsfor Hebron Academy intheir estate planning

In 1947, I was abelow-average stu-dent stumbling

along in public highschool without any realfocus except that Iwanted to be a dairyfarmer! This all changed in September, when my parents dropped me off for a two-year immersion course with Claude Allen, Barney Williams, Ned Willard and therest of Hebron’s capable faculty and staff. My life was transformed during those twoyears and has never been the same since.

I never became a dairy farmer, but I did have a rewarding career in internationalagricultural business management—a career made possible by the writing skills andpersonal confidence I developed at Hebron. Furthermore, I sent my three children togood colleges and they are all now successfully developing their own careers and fami-lies. My daughter, Roxanne, is a Hebron alumna from the class of 1983.

I wanted to help Hebron perpetuate its mission of helping students reach theirhighest potential. Dorothy and I decided to establish a bequest provision for theAcademy in our estate plans. We simply named Hebron Academy as a beneficiaryfor a specific sum of money, payable at my death. (I would hope later for me, butsooner for Hebron; however, the timing of either is not in our hands!)

Hebron Academy is a school with a proud 200 year heritage and a great future. Ihope my annual support and this bequest, along with those of others, will helpensure Hebron’s future as it enters its third century of developing and educating ourcapable young people.

Membership in The Franklin Society is extended to those individuals who have includedHebron Academy in their estate plans, either through an outright bequest intention or by mak-ing a life-income gift. Established by unanimous vote of the Board of Trustees on September 30,1994, The Franklin Society pays tribute to the thoughtful gift intentions of Hebron’s mostloyal supporters. Current members of Hebron Academy’s Franklin Society are listed at left.

Notable Alumna: Florence Allen Keene ’19

In May, Bev Leyden, InternationalAlumni/ae Coordinator, and BeverlyRoy, Director of Alumni/ae Relations,visited with Florence Allen Keene, of theClass of 1919, at her home in Auburn.Mrs. Keene fondly remembers her studentdays at Hebron, and still has many ofher books and papers from those days.

Florence Allen Keene ’19 remembers the fall of 1915,when she first came to Hebron Academy. The 35members of the freshman class were an anxious and

energetic bunch and wanted to make their mark at HebronAcademy. As a class, they chose their colors—green andwhite—and their motto—“Semper Idem” (always the same).Florence Allen was the only girl in the scientific program,but it never bothered her, she never even considered it anissue. She was active in the Y.W.C.A., spent four years onthe debate team, enjoyed dinners at the Poland Spring Innand wrote the class history for the senior banquet. She was ateacher until her marriage to Raymond Keene in 1920.

For Florence, the day that stands out more than any otherwas November 11, 1918, Armistice Day. She noted that thestudents and teachers gathered in a large circle around theflag pole—just as the Hebron community did this year inremembering September 11. In the class history, Florencewrote, “One of the wonderful events was the VictoryCelebration of November 11. On that memorable day weforgot our cloak of dignity and rejoiced with the rest of theworld that the armistice terms had been signed, that it meanta probable peace, and that our boys were likely to return.”

Class of 1919. Florence Allen is the girl on the far right in the second row.

So I am out on a night missionwith some guys from Charlie Co.,1-504th PIR, 82nd Airborne, to

clear a warehouse complex of looters.I start talking to this guy who has a veryfamiliar voice, but it’s night time andthe dude has night vision goggles on,and is loaded with so much combatgear that it could have been Gandhiand I wouldn’t have recognized him.We are talking a little about life in NewEngland and then some Haji in a truckwith no brakes and no clutch tries tosneak into the complex.

Things got exciting and theyended up pulling the guy out of thetruck and setting it on fire. Needless tosay, the conversation was lost duringthe events. Until the next morning.

I am sitting in the DFAC eating mybreakfast when I turn around and get agood look at Staff Sgt. Gammon. I ampractically staring him down across theroom while I am racking through thethousands of mental headshots I havein my head. He maybe thought I waslooking for a fight when I finally cameover and asked him where we mayhave met.

It took about 10 seconds beforewe realized that we first met on theplaying fields at Hebron, learning toplay soccer from Herr Woolsey on theJV “B” soccer team!

Notable Alumna: Sarah Katz ‘93

After working for local television station WGME fortwo years, recently I joined the staff of Lone WolfDocumentary Group in South Portland, Maine.

When I first started working there the company was produc-ing a documentary for the History Channel based on Failureis Not An Option, the best selling book by Gene Kranz, thefirst flight director at nasa’s Mission Control.

That show aired over the summer. My job is to find andlicense film footage and photographs that illustrate scripts ofour different shows. Our biggest client right now is theHistory Channel, and since June I have been working on aseries called, “Deep Sea Detectives.” The hosts are scubadivers who dive shipwrecks and investigate how they sank.The first four shows were about the cruise liner Andrea Doriathat sank in 1956, a B-29 plane, a German U-boat, and theS-5 submarine that sank off Cape May, New Jersey in 1920.

I have traveled to Washington, DC and Ottawa, Ontario,to research film footage. In November I accompanied a crew toQuebec to work on a show about the Canadian Pacific linerEmpress of Ireland. That show is titled, “Sinking on the St.Lawrence” and aired on the History Channel on April 20. Thefact that I studied French (at Hebron and then at HamiltonCollege) gave me a leg up on getting to go on that trip.

Because the topics of our shows are so varied and thewrecks are linked to people in different countries, on almost adaily basis I communicate with people from Germany,England, France, Canada, and even Norway. Being aroundpeople from so many different countries at Hebron andmajoring in French has really helped me feel more comfort-able communicating with the people I do at my job.
