HOME-
COMING
2010
by Liam Hanafee ‘11
“It felt like people really
came home this year,” said
teacher and Hebron parent,
Cynthia Reedy. Made in
response to an impressive
turnout of Hebron
alumni from graduating
classes spanning 1950
to 2010, the comment
showed how special this
year’s Homecoming really
was. Students were excited
to see so many graduated
friends and to imagine
the Homecomings they
will return for in years to
come.
Homecoming is also a
time for sports events,
and every student supported
the Lumberjacks
in one way or another.
Those who weren’t actively
involved in the various
competitions made apple
cider and handed it out to
grateful athletes.
...what Hebron’s
three
essential
values, Trust, Honor,
and Respect are all
about...
The featured event of
this year’s Homecoming
was a dinner held in honor
of the Chase and Found
families, whose exceptional
service to Hebron for
over thirty years has set
a standard for dedicated
teaching, making Hebron
a positive experience for
all of the students who
have been at the school
throughout their extensive
tenure. Both families
have shown what Hebron’s
essential values, Trust,
Honor, and Respect are
all about.
Just last week the Economics
and International
Relations class had the
opportunity to hear firsthand
from Mr. Chase’s
former student back in
1988, Bill Guldera who is
now a lobbyist for News
Corp, one of the largest
media companies in the
world. The returning alum
spoke about how much Mr.
Chase had taught him, and
how large a role Hebron
played in his achievements.

the school for
an afternoon of Slip

by emphasizing the
need to be willing
to risk failure—in
order to “do extraordinary
things in our
young lives.”
“We have four
more years to build
on ourselves, to
fail epically, to get
second chances, to
be wrong and boisterous,
and have it
chalked up to our
youth, and after
that, we take on
responsibilities that
start to box it in, to
provide less room
for error. I guess
what I’m saying,
against all the advice
that we’ve grown up
with, against what
I’m sure our parents

The actual donation
process took only about

were required
to stay for fifteen minutes
after the donation
to get some snacks and
refreshments in order
to bring their sugar level

Dodge-Ball Tournament
by Mike Bouchard ‘11
Staff Writer
Recently Community
Life put on
a school-wide single
elimination dodge-ball
tournament to benefit
the Little Field Home.
The heavy favorite in
the tournament was
the Real Reeb Squad,
a team consisting
of seniors and post
graduates. After a
first round by, the
Real Reeb Squad took
on the Poutine Team
from Canada and
handily dominated the
match. Poutine Team,
having just come of a
big win against Team
Ford, was not ready
for the speed and
strength of their new
opponent. Real Reeb
Squad faced Da Above
Average Moes, and in
an intense battle, the
underdog went against
all odds to defeat the
heavy favorite to win it
all and beat Real Reeb
Squad. On the other
side of the bracket,
Smash Their Ballz and
the Faculty Team dominated
the pack and
faced each other in
the semifinals. Smash
Their Ballz won and
advanced to the championship
to face Da
Above Average Moes,
where the latter team
won the best of three
series and took home
the title. Over sixty
dollars was raised for
the Little Field Home
as well.
The New Schedule
by Kaitlyn Paiton ‘11
Staff Writer
This year there have
been significant adjustments
to the schedule.
The primary change
is that the academic
school day
now begins at 8:30
a.m. The change
was made so that
students would
be more awake
and more focused
during the first
class and throughout
the school day.

is now held in
the middle of the
morning, whereas
in previous years,
it began the school
day at 7:45 a.m. Lunch
break is now an hour
long, creating a more

Staff Writer
“Would you like to
spend a year in the
U.S?” It was with this
sentence, printed on an
inconspicuous information
sheet, that my
adventure “living and
studying a year abroad”
began.
ASSIST (Articulation
System Stimulating
Interinstitutional Student
Transfer) is an organization
which provides
one-year scholarships to
American independent
secondary schools in the
U.S for students all over
the world. This school
year 146 students from
twenty-one countries
are attending eightyseven
schools. Hebron

Mar Bartolomé Narbón,

Austria, were given this
unique opportunity.
After two informational
evenings, long
internal debates with
myself about whether I
really wanted to do this,
and a summer spent

began. ASSIST

Trustees Weekend
by Erika Thomas ‘11
Thursday, October
7th, kicked off Homecoming
Weekend 2010
at Hebron Academy.
Trustees arrived that
afternoon for three days
of meetings, focusing on
such aspects as campus
life and school finances.
At lunch on Friday, the
trustees got an inside
view of school life from
a select group of students.
The deans had
picked two or three students
with various backgrounds
and interests
to eat lunch with each
of the trustees. Often
the same students are
with the same trustee
throughout their years
at Hebron. The trustees
see the students twice
a year, in the fall and in
an information package
from Hebron Academy
and, understanding that
this was the school I had
been placed in, I immediately
fell in love with it
just from looking at the
photographs.
It has turned out that
Hebron Academy really
is the perfect school
for me. Here I can do
every activity I mentioned
in my application.
Hebron offers
many sports I wanted,
as well as the opportunities
to play music, and
there are many clubs
and activities I want to
join. I found many new
swings, having fun with
the children. The kids
love to play with Hebron
students. On a recent
trip, for example, Phyllis
Wang built a winding
road and a castle in
the sandbox with five of
the youngest children.
Together they used
scoops and rocks to dig
deep into the sand. She
told the children that
when she was a child,
she loved building all
kinds of sand castles
with her cousins. This
story brought her and
the American children
together. After the play
session, the groups shift
indoor, and the volunteers
help the children
with their homework,
reading and math, and
with various arts and
crafts projects. They
have created posters
and Halloween decorations.
The Community Service
Program is designed
to provide mentors
for the children who
need help, and to offer
Hebron students an
opportunity to connect
with the larger community.
It is also a good
way for the student
volunteers to refresh
themselves from the
stress of school.
the spring. They become
interested in and familiar
with the students’
lives, asking about
sports and thoughts
of the future. Special
bonds form between the
trustees and their students
that sometimes
last after graduation.
This part of Trustees
Weekend is a great way
for students to create
ties with important
people involved in the
school, many of whom
are alumni. It gives the
trustees an opportunity
to see the school from
the students’ perspectives,
as they make decisions
which will affect
Hebron students for
generations to come.
friends from all over the
world, and I am enjoying
every single minute
of my adventure. I am so
grateful that ASSIST and
Hebron Academy made
this possible for me. In
the two months I have
been in the U.S., many
of my perspectives have
already changed. I am
learning much about
American culture, and
sometimes I even catch
myself adapting some of
the American manners.
With this scholarship I
struck a new path which
has already begun to
change my life.

Bye-bye Malawi
Feature Story
but not foreverby
Dong Hee Lee ‘12 and Sung Hyun Choi ‘12
Staff Writer
We met each other in
Incheon Airport. Waiting
for the plane to Dubai,
we compared each other’s
flight tickets. We
would go to Dubai, Nairobi,
and Malawi together
but would come back to
Korea at different times.
We would have to stay
in Dubai for seven hours
and in Nairobi for two.
Our final boarding call
rang and we walked to
the plane with ambivalent
minds, excited and
anxious at the same
time. Our flight to Dubai
was about eight hours
long. Since we were used
to fourteen hour flights
to the U.S., eight hours
actually felt fleeting to
us.
When we got onto the
plane, we couldn’t believe
our eyes. Our seats were
not economy class but
prestige. Our weariness
vanished. The meal in
the plane was amazing.
The bread they gave us
tasted as if it were just
baked, and the orange
juice tasted like fresh
squeezed. With great service,
five hours flew by.
Our first impression
of Nairobi Airport was
disappointment, but
since we didn’t have to
stay long in Nairobi, we
didn’t feel any tedium.
We sat there for a couple
hours and headed to the
gate that said Lusaka-Lilongwe.
At that time, we
thought that Lilongwe,
the final destination that
we were supposed to go,
was an abbreviation of
Lusaka Lilongwe. When
the flight attendant
announced that we had
arrived in Lusaka, we got
off the plane. We looked
for Mr. Flynn, looking
everywhere in the airport
to find him. Being
apprehensive, we called
him. He said that he was
in the airport, waiting
for us. After awhile, we
realized that Lusaka and
Lilongwe were different
places. Lusaka was in
Zambia, and Lilongwe
was in Malawi. We soon
bought new tickets for
next flight to Lilongwe
and took a cab to the
nearest hotel.
We were shocked when
we entered the hotel.
The hotel had no water
system, no light in the
room, and low quality TV.
To compensate, we went
to the most gorgeous
Chinese restaurant, then
went back to hotel and
spent the night. The next
day, we got on the Zambian
flight to Lilongwe,
where Mr. Flynn was
waiting for us. While we
were telling our story
about Zambia, Mr. Flynn
drove us to the Golden
Peacock, a Malawian
hotel. We had lunch there
and went to
Kang’oma Village
to experience
local life
in Malawi.
When we
got out of the
car, we were
so impressed.
Lots of children
were following
us and
asking many
questions. We
were really
glad that they
welcomed us.
The house
that we stayed in was
one of the best houses
in Kang’oma village. The
house had beds, TV, and
a sofa. We spent comfortable
days. The members
of the family were very
nice to us. They let us
use their bedroom and
cooked rice for us, since
we didn’t like ‘ncema.
The one thing that surprised
me was Chimbuzi,
the toilet. The Chimbuzi
was a room with a hole on
the ground. For the first
time, that was not comfortable
to us, but by the
time that we left Malawi,
we became experts in
using Chimbuzi.
We spent days playing
soccer, and hiking mountains
with the villagers.
We also visited
a huge
school that
most of
the kids in
the village
attended.
On the day
before we
left the
village, we
played a
big soccer
game. The
Malawi
children
played very
well. We
couldn’t
even score
a goal.
On the last day, we said
good-bye to the villagers
and went to the Little
Field Home. When we
arrived, all the orphans
were outside of the building.
They greeted us by
singing. We got to know
one another by asking
each other’s names. They
were so cordial to us,
welcoming us sincerely.
After some conversation
with the children, we
went to the house where
we would be staying for
a month. Ms. Littlefield
assigned us rooms. Our
roommates were Solomon,
and Eric. We were
so tired that we slept
right after we unpacked
our luggage.
“Cock-a-doodle-doo,”
What a peculiar alarm
it was! At 5 o’clock in
the morning, roosters
crowed, and we woke
up right away. The other
volunteers had also
awakened early and were
reading books. Astonishingly,
even though
nobody told us to read,
we grabbed our own
books and started reading
until Janet and Bill
woke up. Janet greeted
us by saying “Madzuka
bwangi!” which means
“Good morning!” We
replied “Dadzuka buino,
kaiya ie nu?” which
means “I am fine, and
you?” We all laughed and
this foreshadowed our
joyful time in Malawi.
Janet gathered all volunteers
and divided us
into two groups, explaining
our simple duties.
Group One’s duty was
to sweep and keep the
house clean. Group Two’s
was to pump up the water
from the borehole. Each
group would swap duties
the next day. After a fabulous
brunch, we went
outside to search for
kids. Some children went
to the school and only
little kids were running
around the orphanage.
As soon as we brought
a soccer ball out, kids
ran towards us eagerly.
While they played soccer,
they ran into one another,
kicked other kids by
accident, and laughed.
Their innocence made
us laugh. After the older
kids came back from
school, we had a short
walk from the orphanage
to their school. The
school facilities
were
poor, and
sometimes
teachers did
not even show
up. We held
kids hands
and sang as
we walked; “I
am sky, I am
sky, I am tree,
I am tree.”
Every night
from Monday
to Thursday,
we read English
books
with the children. Even
though they just repeated
our reading without
comprehending, we were
pleased to see them
trying to repeat after us
and trying to understand
the book by looking at
the pictures. Every Friday
night the children and
all the volunteers had
dance parties. Kids used
buckets for drums and
started the beat. Girls
were bragging about
their phenomenal moves;
boys were a little shy but
soon they were dancing
like complete lunatics.
We outgoing volunteers
also danced endlessly
and showed our own
marvelous moves.
While kids were studying
at their
school, we
studied
Chicha-
photos by Sung Hyun Choi ‘12
wa, the
Malawian
language.
Solomon,
who was
our roommate
but
also our
teacher,
taught us
Chichawa.
After
the kids
came back
from school, we separated
them into many
groups and taught English.
Fanta, their favorite
drink, settled kids down
and helped them pay
attention. Even though
their English was not
excellent, their little
improvements were
enough to encourage us
to teach them.
Despite the travel
nightmare in Zambia,
all volunteers crossed
the boundary between
Zambia and Malawi to go
on safari in South Luangwa.
After an eight hour
drive, we arrived at the
safari camp. We stayed
in a big, specialized tent,
which I assumed was for
a honeymoon! The Safari
experience; we saw impalas
everywhere. It was
quite an adventure for us
to sleep surrounded by
running baboons, stomping
elephants, and growling
hippos.
A few days before we
left Malawi, we went to
Lake Malawi to experience
another view of the
country and to share out
learning from this trip.
Volunteers reflected
on how much food and
goods we wasted when
we were in the U.S. We
learned to thank the environment
and how to love
the simpler life. After a
wonderful time at Lake
Malawi, we came back to
the orphanage to prepare
for our farewell.
Kids wrote us letters
in English before we
left. Actually, these letters
were written by us
after they told us what to
write, because the kids
did not know how to
write English very well.
These letters struck our
hearts and we still keep
them inside our diaries.
“We say goodbye but not
forever, we know that
one day we shall meet
again. Bye, bye, bye, bye
but not forever.”
As all farewells do, ours
had approached. Kids
cried and all volunteers
did as well. The children
were singing farewell
in English, which we
had taught them. They
looked innocent, and
we felt sorry to be leaving
them behind. Their
singing voices struck
our hearts and our eyes
filled with tears. But
since we decided to not
cry in front of the children,
we walked out to
find a place where we
couldn’t hear them singing.
We got into the bus
and said our final goodbye
to the kids. The bus
driver started the engine.
Kids were chasing the
bus, and all us volunteers
put our heads out
the windows and yelled
“Goodbye, but not forever!”
The bus was heading
toward the city of
Lilongwe, and we would
stay in a hotel before
boarding our flights. We
could not go back to the
kids and could not hold
their hands again. We
will return, however, just
as their songs foretold,
because we know that
despite our farewells, we

Introduction of Kimchi
by Harry Trask ‘12
Staff Writer
The Korean side dish
known as kimchi is an
indispensable part of
Korean cuisine.
Essentially, kimchi is
a spicy delicacy made
from assorted fermented
vegetables. Among
these vegetables are
cucumbers, green
onions, radishes and
the most well known
ingredients, cabbage.
Cabbage kimchi is perhaps
the quintessential
side dish in Korea.
In the past few
months, Koreans have
been distraught with
the recent spike in the
price of kimchi. This is
due to the jump in the
price of Chinese grown
Napa Cabbage, which
is the preferred cabbage
in kimchi. Usually,
Napa Cabbage is sold
at an extremely cheap
price of $2.50 a head.
Mid-Autumn, also called
The Moon Festival in the
United States, is a festival
celebrated by many Asian
countries such as China,
Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia
and the Philippines. It
takes place on August 15th
In the past month, the
price of this necessity
has gone up to as much
as $14 a head. So why
the sudden increase of
cabbage? Many people
blame the past rainy
season in China as the

Singing at Hebron
by Max Middleton ‘12
Staff Writer
Just three years ago, there
were only eight novices in the
Hebron Academy chorus. In
her first year as choral director,
however, Ms. Barefoot showed
the group how great she would
be. With a no-nonsense attitude
and uncanny ease, she transformed
eight singers into a
tightly knit choir. The students
were strong singers, but it was
very hard to get a full choral
sound without a larger group.
Because of schedule conflicts
the next year, the number
dwindled to four. This year,
cause of the shortage
of cabbage. There has
been a larger demand
in Korea now for cabbages
from Europe and
the United States. Even
though it is said to be
“inferior” to Napa Cabbagge,
it will have to do
for now.
At the beginning of
the 2010-2011 school
year at Hebron Academy,
kimchi and a rice
bar have been introduced.
Hebron has had
Korean students for
many years, and the
introduction of this
delicious dish has made
many Korean students
happy. Dong Hee Lee
‘12 said that he “can’t
have rice without some
kimchi to go along with
it.” Before this introduction
of the rice bar at
Hebron, other Korean
students including
Dong Hee had caches
of Korean staple foods
in their rooms. With the
introduction of the rice
bar, not only Korean students
feel satiated, but
also American students
are becoming acquainted
with kimchi. Serving
kimchi and rice is a positive
step for Hebron. It
helps stimulate cultural
understanding and also
gives an alternative to
the everyday dining hall
food.
however, chorus is scheduled
at 7:45 a.m. and the
group has swelled
to twenty three. In
just two months,
novices have “come
into their voices”
and the chorus has
gained the missing
depth.

in the lunar calendar (the
Asian traditional calendar
that is based on the Moon’s
orbit around the Earth). On
this day, the moon is at its
brightest and roundest, due
to its closest position to the
Earth. In China, people celebrate
the Moon Festival with
lanterns as they go picnicking
in the parks at midnight.
It is quite similar to Thanksgiving,
in which families
gather together and talk in
a warm, caring ambience. In
Vietnam, Mid-Autumn marks
the beginning of a new harvest,
when farmers wish for
a successful crop season. For

Review:
Starcraft II
by Tom Cummings ‘11
Staff Writer
It was a long time in
coming, but after twelve
years in production,
Blizzard has finally
released Starcraft 2. The
sequel turned out to be
well worth the wait. It
is, without a doubt, the
best all around strategy
game of the year. From
its stunning cinematics
to its vast online multiplayer
games, Starcraft
2 has definitely lived up
to its hype. When Blizzard
chose to create the
sequel, they decided to
split the campaign up by
its three races , making
Starcraft 2 a trilogy,
each game telling the
story of one of the three
races. This first installment,
“Wings of Liberty,”
follows Jim Raynor
as he attempts to lead
a rebel band against
his old rival Emperor
Western countries because
they get to hang out late at
night and dress up in strange
costumes, such as wizards,
super heroes, and the like.
This year’s Mid-Autumn
was on September 22nd.
At Hebron, the Chinese and
Vietnamese community
gathered together to celebrate
the Moon Festival with
Moon cakes. Moon cakes are
an essential part of the Moon
Singing with other people and
without accompaniment was a
new experience for most of the
newcomers. The dependence
that singers have
with one other is
remarkable, and
because of this,
group members
develop a unique
bond. The next
year the a cappella
group was
audition based.
There were now
sixteen dedicated
members

working hard on
the music. The

insurmountable odds
to save the Terran race.
“From its stunning
cinematics... Starcraft
II has lived up

The campaign stays
interesting throughout
the game by offering a
new type of objective at
each level and by incorporating
vivid and fluid

also added an interlevel
feature that allows
the player to explore

described as “more intense
and fun.” This year enough
students auditioned so that
the decision was made that the
HeeBeeGeeBees would be comprised
only of students. The
combination of new talent and
experience is creating a sound
that is described as different
from the past two years, especially
with the addition of a
beat boxer. The HeeBeeGeeBees
have performed in Boston and
at the Portland Country Club
at alumni events; they have
also opened games with the
national anthem for the Portland
Seadogs and the Portland
Pirates.

GSA: A Student’s Point of View
by Yena Kang ‘12
Staff Writer
GSA stands for GAY STRAIGHT
ALLIANCE. This national organization
was formed because
its founders believe that everyone
has a right to love and to
be themselves. The GSA in
Hebron Academy is very well
known among students and
faculty. Hebron Academy has
demonstrated strong support
for human rights and equality.
GSA opened a new door for the
community and also brought
awareness to the school. The
group brings hope to people
who might feel different in
society. On Homecoming
Weekend, a rainbow reunion
was held by alumni GSA members.
The alums were not only
supportive of the school, but
they were also reaching out
to other places in the country.
The alumni GSA members
said that when they attended
Hebron, they felt as though
they couldn’t be open about
being gay or lesbian because
of the how people might treat
them. When Hebron Academy
was a school for boys, it was
hard for these struggling students
to show their feelings
and emotions because the attitude
towards homosexuals was
not positive. Hiding their feelings
pushed some people into
depression while they were at
Hebron. But as times changed,
people’s opinions changed and

things got better. The alumni
GSA members were thankful
that their school is now
involved in GSA activities. Even
though there are some people
who don’t yet support GSA,
the percentage is increasing
steadily. “A good beginning is
half the battle.”
You are unique; this must be
respected. No one should criticize
or talk badly about others
people’s differences. God made
everyone with purpose and
with love. We were born with
the responsibility to respect
human rights and equality, yet
even today people don’t show
this in their actions. People in
the gay community have committed
suicide because they
have been bullied. We all know
that bullying is wrong, but it
takes a lot of courage to stand
up against it. I support human
rights and equality for everyone
because love is my motivation
in life. You will never
know how much of an impact
you can make on other people.
One person can’t change the
whole world, but one person
can change another person’s
life. Loving yourself also means
loving other people. The world
isn’t perfect and neither is our
society. Hebron Academy’s GSA
is poised to continue to open
doors that have been closed for
many years. I agree with their
cause and I pledge to support
their place on our campus.
Mission Statement
The Hebronian is written and published by Hebron students to inform not
only the campus community but also the larger Hebron family. The paper
covers school events, opinions, student artworks, sports, events, and cultural
diversity within the Hebron community. Our editors and reporters strive
to ensure that The Hebronian values every aspect of community life at the
Academy. Our mission is to help unite the school and offer an opportunity
for students to share their perspectives through journalism.
The Hebronian
Letter From the Editor
by Jai Kyeong Kim ‘11
Far more than a mere
mechanical task, working
on The Hebronian is
like making an artwork
on a completely blank
sheet. Each mark we paint
becomes easily noticeable
and puts pressure
on us as amateur editors.
Especially because it has
been only a year since its
restoration, the vastness
of the job enervates the
staff, making us wonder
where to begin. In addition
to ensuring that our “artwork”
conveys accurate
and sufficient facts about
Hebron Academy, we also
need to make every effort
to include students’ personal
voices and perspectives
of the school.
Fortunately, while the
initial work of organizing
busy students to write and
take photos in addition
to their heavy workloads
was very tough last year,
more than forty students
showed an interest in the
newspaper this year. With
talented new writers and
photographers, as well as
supportive editors, the job
has been easier this time
around and I am confident
that The Hebronian will
take a big step to becoming
a well-organized and
student-run school newspaper
with a secure future
at Hebron.
However, when I first
took over the role of editor-in-chief,
I was quite
worried about whether a
non-native speaker who
still sometimes makes ESL
errors could successfully
“help unite the school and
offer an opportunity for
students to share their perspectives
through journalism.”
Thanks to passionate
and supportive advisers
and staff members, the
worry soon disappeared,
and I got my confidence
back.
On the other hand,
because we are at the beginner’s
level of editing the
newspaper, it takes a lot of
time just to put the stories
and photographs together.
In addition to schoolwork,
activities, college essays,
and SAT’s, the newspaper
is unfortunately not something
we can publish every
week. So, even if we staff
members sincerely want to
provide fresh editions on a
regular basis, it sometimes
becomes very difficult.
Still, every time I am at the
finalizing stages, I realize
how much better the current
edition is compared
to the last one – though
I felt the same way in the
previous one – in terms
of article quality and layout
design. It seems as if
The Hebronian accurately
reflects the maturing process
of Hebron students,
including me.
Also, when I think of my
friends who provide concern
and food for their
gaunt-looking editor, I
feel as if I have succeeded
already. I am very curious
to know how the last edition
of The Hebronian of
2010-2011 will look, what
I will be thinking at the end
of high school year, and
who I will have become as
a person.
Most importantly, however,
what I want to emphasize
is not how hard it is
to publish a newspaper
but how much happiness
I feel though this work.
The job involves filling a
lot of random text boxes.
Even if it seems endless
at the beginning, however,
as I approach the
end and strive to make
it better little by little, an
ineffable happiness seems
to be pumped up from
my heart to my finger tips
and nearly overwhelms
me. In the near future, I
hope more students will
get a chance to experience
similar feeling by challenging
themselves to become
observers and chroniclers
of their own school.
