Thomas Durfee, a high school math teacher, holds still while a student cuts his beard Friday during an all-school assembly at Manchester Essex Regional High School and Middle School. Alger and two other faculty members allowed winners of a raffle to cut their beards any way they wanted. The "Clips for Class One Six" raffle was for the benefit of the sophomore class, which will graduate in 2016.
