Hebron
“Mathletes”
by Hoin Na ‘10 & Jai Kyeong Kim ‘11
Hebron Math Team:
Second in Maine
On April 6th in
Bangor Auditorium,
Hebron participated in
the Maine Mathematics
State Meet as the
returning champion.
Although many key
members graduated
last year, the Hebron
math team enjoyed
another successful
season, finishing first
in the Pi-Cone North
geographical league as
well as first in division
D statewide. Overall,
the team finished in
second place to Class
A powerhouse Bangor
for the regular season.
After achieving a
great success for the
regular season, Hebron
came in 8th overall and
protected the championship
for Class D at
the state meet. Individually,
Hebron earned
seven medals from the
Pi-Cone North League
this year.
The Pi-Cone North
League awards its major
medals to the top four
students overall and
three medals to the top
three students of each
class. This year, seven
individual medals
for the Hebron Math
team went to Sung Mo
Kang, who received a
silver medal among
freshmen, Jingjing
Li, a bronze medal
among sophomores,
Jai Kyeong Kim, a gold
medal among juniors,
Seok Won Jee, a bronze
medal among seniors,
and Seung Woo Kim,
a silver medal among
seniors. Seung Yeon
Kang was awarded a
major bronze medal
among all mathematicians,
and Hoin Na, a
major gold medal, winning
first place in the
league.
Five Hebron “mathletes”
qualified for
spots on the Maine
All-Star Math Team,
which competes in the
national math meet at
Penn State University.
Hoin Na finished in third
place statewide for the
season and received
the Neil Tame Bowl and
an honorarium of $200.
Seung Yeon Kang came
in 15th, Seung Woo
Kim, 26th, Jai Kyeong
Kim, 30th, and Seok
Won Jee, 36th.
Since the meet is held
after graduation, of five
national math meet
qualifers at Hebron,
only two juniors, Jai
Kyeong Kim and Seung
Yeon Kang will be participating
in the ARML,
the national math com-

petition at Penn State,
from June 3 to June 6.
As a small school
in division D, Hebron
should be proud of
such an astonishing
achievements. However,
since competitive
seniors are graduating,
the math team will
require more participants
for next year.
Hebron
Spring
Athletes
by Emma Leavitt ‘10
Hebron Spring Sports:
Overall, Hebron had a great
spring season. All of our
spring sports teams were in
the MAISAD championship
tournaments. This level of
dominance is rarely seen in
the MAISAD league, and we
should be very proud of our
accomplishments.
JV Baseball: Our boys
broke just about even with a
record of 3 wins and 4 losses.
They had a very young team
and started out the season
strong with a win against
Kents Hill and a crushing
defeat of Gould (29-0).
Varsity Baseball: The team
lost the MAISAD championship
in a close game
against Kents Hill, whom
they beat three times in the
regular season. Despite this
loss, the team had a very
strong season, featuring
wins against Winthrop
and Gould.
JV Boys Lacrosse:
These boys had
an extremely successful
season
under new assistant
coaches Mike
Jones and Austin
Stonebraker. They
had 9 wins and 3
losses and won the
MAISAD championship
against Kents
Hill, 9 -1. Great job
guys! You,too, Mr.
Flynn.
Varsity Boys
Lacrosse: Varsity
lacrosse saw many
exciting matches in
the last few weeks
of their season.
An overtime win
against Berwick (in
which they came
from behind) sent them
flying into the MAISAD tournament.
Unfortunately, they
lost the championship game
against Gould 6-8.
Varsity Girls Lacrosse:
These girls had a solid
season, winning as many
games as they lost. They beat
Gould 11-9 in the MAISAD
semifinal but ended up just
barely losing the championship
game against Hyde 8-7,
having beaten them and
lost to them in the regular
season. They fought hard
and deserve our full recognition.
Varsity Girls Softball: Softball
had a strong season
this year, just barely losing
the MAISAD championship
game to Kents Hill 19-17.
Big wins against some of the
tougher teams outside
of the MAISAD
league included
games against Winthrop
and Exeter.
Good job girls!
JV Boys Tennis:
This was a learning
season for boys JV
tennis. They did not
win a match, but
they made great
strides throughout
the season, considering
that many
team members
had never stepped
onto a tennis court
before. We wish
them luck next
year.
Varsity Boys
Tennis: Varsity tennis
had a very successful
season. They
photo by Jai Kyeong Kim ‘11 were extremely
competitive in the MAISAD
tournament and finished
the season with 6 wins and
2 losses, both of which were
to Kents Hill, who apparently
had an extremely dominant
team this year. No worries,
we’ll get ‘em next year.
JV Girls Tennis: These girls
did a great job this season.
They finished up with a
record of 4 wins and 5
losses. Big wins included a
crushing 5-0 defeat against
Berwick (after having lost to
them the week before) and
a definitive 4-1 win against
Gould to finish the season
on a strong note. Way to go
girls!
Varsity Girls Tennis: Girls
tennis finished up a strong
season with a record of 4
wins and 3 losses. Big wins
included games against
Gould and Kents Hill, ending
the season with a bang. They
made a great show in the
championship tournament;
good job girls!
Track and Field: Last but
definitely not least, track and
field. Not only was track the
best-looking spring sports
team, they had the most
fun while simultaneously
having the most rigorous
workouts. Unfortunately,
they faced very tough competition
and did not win as
many meets as Mr. V. would
have liked. However, they
were very competitive in the
final New England meet for
having so few team members,
and they have two New
England champions among
their ranks. Great job track!

Welcome to the Cum Laude
Society: Hebron Chapter
by Jai Kyeong Kim ‘11
Established in 1906 by
Dr. Abram W. Harris, Director
of the Tome School
in Maryland, the Cum
Laude Society only offers
its memberships to the
students with superior
scholastic achievement,
honoring the world’s
high school scholastic
leaders. In terms of student
membership, each
Chapter can elect up to
courses the high school
offers.
This year, the Hebron
Chapter inducted four
students from the Junior
Class and eight students
from the Senior Class.
Inductees for the Class
of 2011 were Tom Cummings,
Polly Drown, Jai
Kyeong Kim, and Zack
Torrano. Inductees for the
Hebron Chapter in his
junior year. He went on
to graduate Summa Cum
Laude from Columbia
University and worked in
Scripps Research Institute
at LaJolla, California. After
receiving PhD in doctoral
studies of synthetic
organic chemistry, he was
awarded a post-doctoral
research position from
the National Institute of
The Day of
Silence
by Noelle Giguere ‘13
Staff Writer
The National Day of Silence,
a grass-roots, student-initiated
event, was established in
1996. Its intention is to make
schools safer, more accepting,
and understanding of
everyone in the community.
At Hebron Academy, the Gay-
Straight Alliance conveys this
same message. GSA has many
members who inform adults
and students in the community
of actions they can take to
make the school a safer place.
Hebron celebrated its annual
Day of Silence on April 23rd.
For this day the dress code
was set aside, and students
and faculty were allowed to
wear jeans and bright-colored
shirts. At morning meeting,
the GSA sang “Lean on Me” and
welcomed everyone to join in.
The song describes how everyone
is equal. Ultimately no one
should be uncomfortable with
his or her sexual orientation,
gender identity, or gender
expression.
The GSA also read quotations
about the Day of Silence written
by faculty and students.
These quotations varied from
why people feel strongly about
this day to how they were connected
to it directly. The readings
were very moving and
helped people understand
what the GSA and The Day of
Silence are trying to convey.
Later in the morning, the
GSA and anyone who wanted
to get involved met in the Science
Lecture Hall to talk further
about The Day of Silence.
They discussed why the day
was important and how great
it was to see so many people
involved. There was a banner
for everyone to sign and write
messages about their thoughts
on The Day of Silence.
The Day of Silence was a
great way to spread awareness
to everyone at Hebron
Academy. It not only informed
people about the importance
of acceptance, but also about
how they can make Hebron
Academy a better and safer
place.
10% of the members of
the Junior Class and 20%
of the members of the
Senior Class.
Hebron Academy started
the Hebron Chapter in
1923, as the 27th Chapter
in Cum Laude. In order
to remain a Cum Laude
chapter, the school must
send its academic profile
to the National Cum
Laude Organization every
ten years. The academic
profile includes what colleges
the students will
attend and what level of
Class of 2012 were Ben
Blais, Weisan Jiang, Seung
Woo Kim, Brent Landry,
Brian McDonald, Hoin Na,
Nick Stuer, and Tian Yang.
Traditionally, Hebron
Academy invites a speaker
for the induction ceremony.
This year, Dr. Noah
Burns gave the speech. Dr.
Burns is the son of school
physician Dr. Charles Burns
and English teacher Carnie
Burns. Graduating from
Hebron Academy in 2000,
when he was awarded the
Hebron Cup, Dr. Burns was
inducted into Cum Laude
photo by Mr. Chase
Health in the Department
of Chemistry and Biology
at Harvard University. Sincerely
welcoming Hebron
Cum Laude inductees, Dr.
Burns told them, “Go out.
Explore!”

achievement in secondary
schools for the purpose
of promoting excellence

honor (Timé).
Bible Study
By Yena Kang ‘12
Staff Writer
On a Sunday afternoon in May, people
gathered at Ms. Barefoot’s house for Bible
Study, the final one of the year, the last
one for the seniors.
Ms. Barefoot, Chair
of the Fine Arts
and Music Department,
has led
weekly Bible Study
since she came
to Hebron last
year. The weather
was sunny, so
we decided to
eat outside; Ms.
Barefoot cooked
hamburgers and
hotdogs for us.
After eating, we talked about our week
and how God has always been there for
us. We had special ‘Words of Wisdom’ for
Seung Woo and Sangil who are graduating.
We shared our favorite bible verses
with them, Joshua 1:9 and Proverbs
25:11. By holding on to these verses, our
seniors will be brave as they go forward
with their new lives. The right word at the
right time is like a golden apple in silver
jewelry, and good words for people bring
good people to
them.
We ended
Bible Study
with Ms. Barefoot
praying
for the graduating
seniors.
We prayed that
veven though
they face hard
circumstances
photo by Soo Yeon Kim ‘12 when they
leave, God will
lead them in life. We prayed for them
to be challenged in many good ways so
they can grow more every day, to step
into shining futures.

Prom 2010
by Emma Leavitt ‘10
The 2010 Hebron
Prom was one for the
record books. The
Junior/Senior event
was held at Pineland
Farms in New Gloucester,
Maine. Pineland
Farms, despite its
simple name, is a collection
of stunning brick
buildings with white
trim that house several
non-profit organizations.

The
Case for
Heirs of
General
Practice
by Jai Kyeong Kim ‘11
Have you ever
thought of becoming a
doctor? If so, what sort
of doctor do you wish
to be? As a patient,
what sort of doctor do
you wish to meet? John
McPhee’s Heirs of General
Practice stylishly
describes the doctors
whom we all wish to
meet, those who enjoy
Maine’s natural beauty,
the doctors who sincerely
care for patients
and their families.
Through a dozen doctors
and their stories
about their patients,
McPhee effectively
conveys his idea that
doctors should interact
with their patients,
rather than arrogantly
show their authority
and knowledge over
“diseases.”
McPhee opens the
collection with a short
piece on Ann Dorney,
a young doctor
who wanted to be a
family practitioner,
despite the advice of
many of her professors.
McPhee makes
a point of “captur[ing]
the essence of warmhearted
family medicine”,
emphasizing the
patients coming “in
through the door” of
G.P. clinics, explaining
how family practice
started. In another
piece, David Jones is far
from the stereotype of
doctors as we think of
them. He is a farmer,
a barn owner, and a
licensed physician
who practices healing
and counseling.
From the dialogues
with his patients, we
get the sense that
Jones is a doctor who
pursues “human to
human, doctor-patient
relationship[s],” who
cares not only about
his patients but their
families and their lives,
a doctor who is truly
concerned about the
smoking and drinking
of his patients, who
worries about delays
of harvest. He worries
about the child who is
so full of respect and
love toward his parents
that his “knees are
bright red from harvest
work” done in order to
buy them new wintercoats.
With idealism
and true happiness,
Dr. Jones says, “To have
a place like this was
always my dream. As a
physician, you can go
somewhere else and
make more money,
but you can’t live like
this. You walk up on
that knoll, you see Mt.
Katahdin. I’d love to be
a trapper in Alaska. This
is my compromise.” As
such, though earning
more money and fame,
living in a large city with
pleasure and comfort
are sometimes attractive,
Jones conveys that
there is true happiness
in the woods, where
fewer people, less
money, and less fame
follow. Furthermore,
he is cynical about a
too-modernized society.
“Technology is
rewarded in medicine,
it seems to me, and not
thinking.” How uninteresting
is it for specialists
like the urologist who
only talks to cystoscopies,
gastroenterologist
to gastroscopies,
and dermatologist to
biopsies?
According to another
doctor, “If you are
a cardiologist, you
know your patient has
a heart problem when
the patient comes
through the door.
When someone comes
to a family doctor, the
doctor is starting from
scratch. … The purpose
is to help people
in a deep and personal
way.” Of course, when
we consider that there
are billions of people
who die due to lack of
simple treatment, it is
not always possible for
every doctor to pursue
deep and human relationships
with every
patient. In a place
like Maine, sentiments
between doctors and
patients should not
disappear. And in this
industrialized society,
in which more people
are becoming mentally
sick from banal tasks
and pressures, we need
doctors like Jones and
Burstein who “deeply
cure” their patients.
Heirs of General Practice

doctors’ dreams, but
our dreams as well.

Squeak. Thump. Squeak
Squeak. Thump. The familiar
sounds of a basketball
game echo from the walls
of Sargent Gymnasium. Up
above, students, faculty,
family, and fans look eagerly
at what is happening right
below them. Among the
crowd is Horace “Hockey”
Field, Hebron Academy
class of 1931. He watches
the game intently inside the
brand new gym, cheering
on his classmates. Sargent’s
illustrious history has just
begun.
Freelan Stanley, a trustee
of the Academy for thirty
years, invented the Stanley
Steamer. Freelan, along
with his twin brother, also
founded the Stanley Motor
Carriage Company, which
produced its first car in 1896
and successfully continued
until the 1910’s, when the
brothers had to accept the
obsolescence of their now
antique engine because of
the internal
combustion
engine. In
1917, the
company
was sold,
but Freelan
Stanley’s
legacy was
not over.
In 1923,
the trustees
had
started the
“Hebron
Memorial Campaign” in
order to build a gymnasium
to honor William E. Sargent,
headmaster of Hebron for
over thirty years. Freelan
Stanley had already built the
aptly-named Stanley Arena,
and Sargent Gymnasium
was designed and financed
by Stanley himself. In 1929,
the dedication was celebrated
and not soon after the
games began!
photo by Seung Yeon Kang ‘11
The gym was designed
with a squash court, a
swimming pool, a basketball
court, a stage, and a
prototype of the modern
baseball batting cage. The
new gym was unlike any
other building on campus
at the time it was built. The
swimming pool was the first
in New England, and murals
by Harry Cochrane adorned
the walls. The stage created
a whole new platform on
which Hebron drama would
perform. The 1933 production
of “Submerged” drew
large crowds, and the student-directed
one act plays,
which are still popular today,
were born.
Back to the game.
Horace watches,
cheering on the Big
Green, only now
they’re called the
Lumberjacks. And
the game isn’t in
Sargent Gym. The
year is now 2009,
and Horace Field,
class of 1931, sits
in the brand new
athletic center,
the Sargent Gym
of our generation. As he
once walked through the
rooms of the newly built
Sargent, he now tours the
just finished walkways of
the athletic center. Much
like trustee Freelan Stanley’s
Stanley Motor Carriage
company, Sargent Gymnasium
is now obsolete as an
athletic center, but has been
reborn as the Lepage Center
for the Arts. Well-designed
classrooms for sculpture,
pottery, and painting classrooms
have been added,
along with a darkroom and
a kiln. Not yet realized is the
450 seat auditorium in the
very same place that Horace
watched the Big Green play
basketball all those years
ago.
Two new buildings in two
very different times that,
for Hebron Academy, mean
both a new history to be
made and an old one to
remember. One can hope
that our generation will
have its own Horace Field,
someone who is there for
it all. While Sargent is no
longer Hebron’s main athletic
facility, its history will
be ours forever.

2010 College Results
by Emma Leavitt ‘10
5
Colleges have
become increasingly
selective in their admissions
process, and this
year was no exception.
Students applied to
more schools than ever
before, and colleges in
turn were obliged to be
more selective in their
acceptances. In a Washington
Post article, the
writer states, “Students
apply to twice as many
schools as their parents
did on the theory that
they are half as likely to
get in.” Consequently,
the admissions rates
go down. For the Ivies
especially, it seems as if
the admission process
has come to involve
very long odds. Even
so, for many students
it is worth the $60-80
admission fee to apply
and face the single
digit acceptance rates
with the rest of the
applicants. This year,
Harvard saw 30,000
applicants. This means
that one in fifty college
hopefuls applied and
paid the fee. Brown
University saw an equal
number of applicants.
Such statistics
make it seem like the
attitude of some of
these applicants
could only have
been “Why not?”
This trend of lowering
admission rates
and increasing the
number of schools
per applicant can
be seen as a vicious
cycle; it will be interesting
to see how
far things will go
before a change in
the process occurs.
Despite this trend,
Hebron students
fared very well. Our
senior class submitted
487 applications
(up 59 from last year)
to 234 different institutions
(up 49 from
last year), with an
average of approximately
seven applications
per student.
Entertainment
Although many students
undoubtedly
felt the strain of these
lowering acceptance
rates, the Class of ’10
was successful, earning
200 acceptances to
date with many generous
financial aid packages.

Final Advice
by Seok Won Jee ‘10
Staff Writer
A Letter from the Editor
by Sangil Min ‘10
During my three years at
Hebron, I had good preparation
for college and the rest of my
life through trial and dedication.
There are some occasions I recall
with regret, some with a great
sense of accomplishment. As a
graduating senior, I would like
to give subjective and personal
advice; some may disagree with
it, some may leave Hebron with
less regret because of it.
Rising seniors: You started the
year with the goal that seemed
far away: to earn good grades as
preparation for college. Well, you
guys just spent the year struggling
to achieve good grades, and
now college is right in front of you
and very real. You should prepare
intensively through this summer
break. First, collect as much information
about colleges as possible.
Getting admission to college
is a war between all seniors
around the world! Information is
a great weapon. Second, practice
the SATs. Colleges say that they
now care less about the tests, yet
your score may be important for
your application. As with sports,
practicing the SATs will improve
your skills. Try to solve at least
a section a day. By the end of
summer break, you will feel the
difference. Third, take care of your
fall and winter term GPA; your
GPA is vital to your application.
Lastly, prepare your application
essay ahead of time. Once you
start school after summer break,
there are so many things to do
that time flows crazily, and you
will find yourself applying the
day before the application due
date! Participate in clubs, sports
and community service. The
experience of a part-time job
or internship will also help your
application. College might not
be a life-deciding factor, but it
will certainly affect your life. By
devoting the next six months to
a strong application, the direction
of your life can change.
Rising juniors: For me, junior
year was the busiest in my life.
There are so many things to care
about for the future as well as the
present. Junior year is the year of
trial and hardship. You now face
pressure from colleges. College
admissions will be greatly concerned
with your junior year GPA.
I strongly encourage juniors to try
various activities as much as possible
to look for your dream. If you
already have a strong dream, then
make it more real by finding the
details of your dream. By having
a strong dream, you are building
the path for your life that will help
you with your college choice. It is
certainly true that you can go to
college with an undecided major,
trying various subjects to find
what you want to do, then transfer
to another college to do what
you want. However, why wait a
year or two when you can get an
early start and reduce your work?
Also, try various activities to make
your application more varied. It is
good way to catch two birds with
one stone.
Rising sophomores: Congratulations!
You spent a year successfully
adjusting to high school. While
sophomore year may seem the
easiest because of the freedom
from pressure, it is also important.
Your job is to find a way to study
that suits you. Fortunately, you
have a year to experience through
trial and dedication. You can first
try a method suggested by your
teacher when you are not sure of
yourself. Then, adjust the method
a bit or try a new one until you
find the best fit. Having a successful
sophomore year can be a turning
point for the rest of your life
by completing just one job.
Some of you might disagree
with my advice and some might
not care since you have your own
strong thesis. I am just an advisor
who is on his “life” path. It is
your decision to choose where
you want to go. Lastly, to everyone,
I would like to give one last
bit of advice, which my parents
gave to me so many times that it
is now my motto. Enjoy your life,
yet work as hard as you can so
that there are no regrets.
About ten months ago, Mrs.
Inglehart and a dozen of students
gathered together with a plan
to restore the school newspaper,
The Hebronian, to its former
glory. From writing articles and
taking photographs, to completing
the final layout and editing the
night before the publication date,
Hebronian staff members put in a
great deal of time and energy to
publish a newspaper that, in my
opinion, is both interesting and
newsworthy. Looking at it at the
end of my senior year, I am confident
that The Hebronian has been
worth all the effort that we put into
it this year. I enjoyed this year’s
experience and strongly believe
the paper will represent, for me,
something memorable about the
Hebron experience.
This year, promoting the newspaper
was the hardest task because
we started from scratch. I want to
emphasize that the active involvement
of the community is crucial
for a student newspaper. It always
needs ideas, opinions, and feedback
from students because The
Hebronian is a newspaper that
is written and run by students.
Through the newspaper, we represent
ourselves to people who
interact with the community. It is
a great opportunity to speak for
ourselves and to share our own
perspectives.
Most importantly, this year The
Hebronian has successfully connected
past and present students
at Hebron Academy. Because it is
published online, it is enjoyed not
only by students and faculty members
living on campus but also by
parents and alumni. I appreciate all
the graduates who sent feedback

to us this year. I look forward to
reading The Hebronian next year
as a Hebron alumnus and hope
that the newspaper continues
to serve as a means to unite the
whole school community and its
former graduates. Of course, as
the Internet allows more people
to hear news of the Hebron community
more easily, there may be
a question of why we would need
a school newspaper. The Hebronian,
however, is more than just
a newspaper that provides “facts”
about the community. Rather, it is
the unity of students’ efforts that
illustrates how well we are doing.
Lastly, I want to give my gratitude
to my fellow editors and all of the
staff members of The Hebronian.
These talented writers and photographers
have provided exciting
news, stories, pictures, and opinions
that have enlightened and
entertained us. Also, thank you to
our advisors, Mrs. and Mr. Inglehart
for their support, commitment, and
time. Although it was challenging
to start a new group with a new
task, they always encouraged us
to continue the newspaper with a
sense of responsibility after each
hard step. I also wish Jai Kim ’11,
the next editor-in-chief, good luck
and hope he finds joy as he creates
The Hebronian with a supportive
staff.
