this edition of

The Qreen JCantern

to

HAROLD H. O W E N

Qy4 Word from Mr. Farrell The Green Lantern is the pictorial and written record of a school year at Proctor. Although everyone is in it, the emphasis is towards each senior class. Essentially it is your book. Moreover, the emphasis in a year book is, inevitably, on the sports, clubs, and activities; groups of people representing shared interests. There is no way in which we can record for you the sincerity with which we have tried to guide you towards manhood. The hours teachers have spent over themes and tests searching for ways to show you how to improve do not appear in the Green Lantern. Your own efforts to learn, to get an education are here only by inference, yet those efforts are the major part of the record. Perhaps we should also have a section for parents, honoring those w h o were able to lend their support to games, plays, and concerts, and paying tribute to the large expense all have been under; to the affectionate interest with which they have followed your progress.

As you turn these pages in years to come, I hope that your memory will bring back the enjoyment of these varied activities. That the succession of faces will recall a word of praise, a generous act, a friendly gesture, perhaps even a probably well-deserved reprimand. I hope that the book will be a permanent re­minder of a well-loved school, a group of friends, and a staff whose greatest satisfaction comes from your success here and in the future.

Football This year 25 boys returned to school on

September 15th for football camp captained by

Artie Pratt. A m o n g them were eleven letter-

men, eight former J.V. players, and seven new

boys. The team outlook at the end of football

camp was good, and when the first game came

around the team was ready to go.

First on the schedule was the Vermont

Academy J.V.'s who had a 12 game winning

streak behind them. The game was played on

their field on a very warm day. The Proctor

team started off very strong with Steve Spe­

liotis connecting with Pratt in the opening

minutes of the first quarter. This tally was

soon followed by another and it looked like

a field day for the Big Green. As the game

progressed, however, the team began to weak­

en. At the end of the first half the score was

13-7 in Proctor's favor. During the second

half both teams fought hard, but in the last

minutes of the half Proctor was unable to

hold out longer, so V. A. went over to win

the game 14-13.

The next game was with Tilton. Many

faults, made the preceding week, were cor­

rected and it showed in the game. The whole

team worked together well and Proctor won a

decisive victory with a score of 40-6.

The team then journeyed to Andover, Mas­

sachusetts, for a game with Brooks. The team

didn't look good at all during the first half,

because we just couldn't pull ourselves to­

gether. At the half the score stood 13-0 in

favor of Brooks, but when Proctor came back

onto the field they seemed to be a complete­

ly different team. W e started out by scoring

two touchdowns and were going for a third

when we fumbled, and they received, going

over for a winning touchdown. The final

score was Brooks 19, Proctor 14.

The next game was with Westmount High

School in Montreal. The Proctor team started

out very strong and scored in the first five

minutes. During the whole first half both

teams fought hard and, in the final minutes of

the first half, Westmount scored and took the

lead 7-6. In the second half of the game was a

seesawing battle, again Proctor ran out of gas

and Westmount scored, deciding the game

and keeping the trophy in Canada. Final score:

Westmount 12, Proctor 6.

The following weekend we played host to

the N e w Hampton football team. From the

first minutes of the game to the final minutes

Proctor showed it over weighed and over

powered the N e w Hampton team. The whole

Proctor team worked together and came out

on top 35-10.

Our last game of the season was with our

rival Holderness. W e were their guests and

thought we should be treated as guests, but

the team just couldn't get together to beat the

hosts. The line seemed to be working at top

ability, but still was unable to stop the swift

moving Holderness backfield. The Holderness

team got the jump on us on two of its touch­

down passes and so earned another T. D. They

won the game 19-0.

The Proctor Varsity was fortunate in hav­

ing as coaches Mr. Wright, Mr. Farrell, and

Mr. J. Camp. Our thanks to them!

The J.V. football team, under the able

direction of Mr. Hatt and Mr. P. Camp, played

four games — losing only to Tilton. They

won victories from Laconia and N e w Hamp­

ton and triumphed over Holderness 15-0.

Hockey

For the first time since 1940, hockey was

instituted as a major sport at Proctor. Under

the able coaching of Mr. Wright the team

soon began to take shape, led by Captain

Rulon-Miller. The team had its first game

with Holderness and lost by the small margin

of 2-1. Rulon-Miller started the season by

scoring the only goal. The next game Proctor

took to the ice at N e w Hampton, playing

their J.V.'s at their Winter Carnival. Here

Proctor began to play inspired hockey and

came home with the first win of the season,

2-0, with goals made by Pratt and Rulon-

Miller. O n the following Saturday the N e w

Hampton team came over to the Proctor ice,

and in a very close battle all the way again

Proctor came out on top 3-2, with goals by

Ned Bradley and Pratt. The final game of the

season turned out to be a most unfortunate

game for the Proctor squad. The team played

its last game with its rival Holderness on a

very warm day. Holderness came out on top

this time, 8-0, scoring at least six of the goals

on a play that Proctor just couldn't seem to

stop.

With an even season of two wins and two

losses one can well say that it was well worth

all the time and effort put into getting hockey

started again. A great deal of credit should go

to Mr. Farrell who organized and made plans

for the sport, and to Mr. Burbank and his

forestry and improvement squads for cutting

the logs for the boards. Thanks is also due to

John Rivers and his crew for making the

boards and giving us such wonderful ice. W e

all wish the best of luck to Mr. Wright, Cap­

tain-elect Rulon-Miller, and the 1956 hockey

team.

The scores of the games were:

Proctor 1 Holderness 2

Proctor 2 N e w Hampton 0

VARSITY SKI TEAM

Standing: Mr. J. Camp, Coach, Llewellyn, Moulton, Quimby, Parker, Hamp, Blackall. In front: Martin, Lud­wig, Captain. Missing from picture: Hodgkins.

Skit; in ]g Skiing has been, and always will be a major

sport here at Proctor. Within the past five years Proctor has produced champions — in­cluding an F. I. S. skier, minor champions, and just plain "bashers." N o matter what happens skiers who have skied at Proctor have a deep love for the sport.

Although the first ski meet was not sched­uled until January, preparations for the season started just after Thanksgiving. Rope climb­ing, and other vigorous exercises in the gym were followed by strenuous cross-country runs. W h e n ski camp opened at Proctor on the first of January the squad was well condi­tioned.

The first scheduled A team meet with U.N.H.'s Freshman team was cancelled because of poor snow conditions. It was finally held on February 9th on icy slopes with U.N.H.

the winning team. Other dual meets were with

Vermont Academy and Holderness. The A

team also competed in two four-way meets,

coming in second at the Lebanon Winter Car­

nival and third in an early February meet

here at Proctor. The A team was glad to have a chance to compete in the Interscholastics at

Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont.

The skiers enjoyed this well-run meet even

though Proctor captured a disappointing

fourth place.

The Proctor B team traveled to Holderness, K. U. A., and Woodstock and succeeded in coming out on top in the first two of these meets. N o account of the ski season is complete

without mention of the superior work done by the Ski Patrol under the direction of Mr. Coolidge. There were five permanent members of the patrol: Bullard, Gill, Goldberg, Mun­son, and Russell. These boys were given first aid instruction by Mrs. Malnati.

Highlighting the 1955 season was the ski holiday at Cannon Mt. on February 14th. Snow conditions were good, the weather ideal so that the four bus loads of boys and faculty had a most enjoyable day. Special honors and opportunities came to

two ski team members when Dave Hodgkins and Carl Parker were invited to attend the Racing Training Program at Stowe, Vermont. Dave and Carl report the week "beyond all description." The two boys also competed in the Junior Eastern Championships at Lake Placid, N e w York over the week-end of Feb­ruary 5th.

Proctor is proud of her skiers and particu­larly of the boys who, this year, became Class B skiers. To these three boys, Hodgkins and Quimby, Co-Captains, and Parker and to Coach J. Camp and the 1956 ski teams Proctor wishes the best of fortune.

SAILING SQUAD

Sailing W e sail both in the spring and the fall,

although the spring is our bigger season of

the year. The facilities include a boat house

on Highland Lake, and eight dinghies. Before

each season we sand and paint the boats. In

the spring we make other improvements since

the ice is not usually out when we start spring

sailing. There are generally around twenty

boys out for sailing each season. The boats

take up sixteen boys for crews and skippers.

The remainder of the boys do odd jobs to

improve things in general.

Last fall we had four meets, three of which

we lost. The fourth meet was with the Schools

Sailing Club here on Highland Lake. There

was very little wind, but we sailed very well

and beat them IWA to 44lA.

This spring season started immediately after spring vacation while the ice was still in. W e had two sailing outings before the ice was out. They were both with the Schools Sailing

Club at Marblehead, Massachusetts. W e call these "outings" because we did not keep a definite score. W e had six meets this spring. They were with Nichols Junior College, Exe­ter, Andover, St. Paul's, and Schools Sailing Club.

The varsity skippers were Duncan Mclnnes, Bob Murdough, Jim Graves — all seniors and Ned Bradley, Commodore, and Charles Nixon. W e hope to develop some of this year's crew members into skippers to take the place of the three varsity skippers w h o will be leaving us.

W e owe our success this year to our two very capable coaches, Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Owen, and to our manager, Frank Coron.

'Baseball, 1955

The 1955 baseball team started the year

with what looked like a winning ball club,

but due to the lack of experienced pitchers

the team suffered badly.

The '55 battery consisted of pitchers Leath­

ern and Leighton and reliefs Nash and Bill

Shaw, with Quimby behind the plate. The in­

field consisted of all underclassmen except

Jones who did a fine job at short stop and

w h o m we shall miss next year. Bob Goldberg,

also a senior, played third base although Carl

Parker started in most of the games. The

other fielders were: Sumner Rulon-Miller,

Mike Nash, Pete Moulton, Captain Bill Shaw,

Bill Gilmore, and Dave Hodgkins. The team

played its first game with the Tilton J.V.'s

and lost a close one 4-3 with T o m Leighton

pitching a fine game. The next game was with

the Brewster nine. With the great pitching

of Windy Leathern, Proctor held them to a

margin of two runs, the final score being

6-4. Proctor then went to play our rival Hol­

derness and, due to a lucky break, Holderness

sneaked by with the game 4-3. O n May 7th

the Proctor Nine journeyed to K.U.A. where

poor pitching and many errors enabled K.U.A.

to walk away with a score of 14-4. Proctor met

Holderness on our own field on a nice sunny

Wednesday afternoon with king size bats, but

failed again to bring home the bacon by los­

ing 6-0. The next game was with Brewster.

Proctor went ahead in the first few innings

but could not keep clear of the Brewster bats

as they had a fifteen run rally to take the

game 15-4. Proctor, after this game, hit the

road to play N e w Hampton. The team was

due to win a game and, in the first inning, all

nine batters felt the ball to go ahead 5-0. From

then on the hungry Proctor batters pounded

in 18 runs to win 18-2. The following Wed­

nesday N e w Hampton journeyed to Proctor

on a cloudy day. The Proctor bats again re­

sponded and at the end of five innings the

score was 6-0. Then the game was stopped be­

cause of rain. The final game on Commence­

ment afternoon was a great joy to Captain

Bill Shaw as his team defeated K.U.A. by a

score of 11-9.

To look over the score board the Proctor

win-lose record doesn't look too good, but

even though the team had a bad season, every­

body showed fine spirit all year. Much credit

must be given to the staff of coaches: Mr.

John Camp, Mr. Caron, Mr. Wright, and Mr.

Peter Camp who is new on the staff and a

big help. W e regret to hear that Mr. Caron

will be leaving us next year and we will all

miss his valuable coaching on the Varsity.

The J.V. baseball team and the J.J.V.'s had

successful seasons, measuring by their resound­

ing defeats of Holderness. Some good players

of next year's varsity are in the making on

these teams.

Varsity Tennis, 1955

After beating Tilton and Holderness with

comparative ease the Varsity Tennis Team

has run up against some formidable teams

and found the going a bit rough. O n Satur­

day, April 30th we played Brooks on our own

courts. Artie Pratt, playing in the number one

position, was up against the former Tennes­

see tennis champion and was beaten 6-1, 6-4.

All the rest of our players lost also except

Stu Riley, who was playing number two and

beat his man 6-1, 6-4, and Sandy Weld w h o

won 6-4, 7-5. The doubles were a failure for

our team.

We then journeyed down to Phillips An­

dover Academy to play their J.V.'s. In singles

we lost all our matches but in doubles Sandy

Weld and John Bradley won their match

leaving the total score in their favor 8-1.

After the defeats which had come upon us

we were determined to beat Holderness. Artie

Pratt lost his match after a long and grinding

duel, 6-3, 6-3. Stu Riley won his match while

Dave Hawley was also winning his. Bob

Bunim lost his match, but Sandy Weld won

his third match with a high score. N o doubles

were played. The final score was a tie, 3-3.

Then came the hardest contest of all against

Exeter, the best prep school tennis team in the

East. Although our team played hard and well,

we lost all six matches.

O n May 18th the Vermont Academy team

came to Proctor for a match. Our boys knew

they would be up against stiff competition

and played accordingly. The result was a

somewhat surprising but very enjoyable vic­

tory, 7-2.

Pratt, Hawley, Riley, and Weld went to the

N e w England Interscholastics at Exeter on

May 20th, where they were up against the best

tennis players in the region. W e lost our

matches but gained much valuable experience,

for the next day, May 21st, we entertained

Tilton at Proctor and downed them 7-2.

The J.V. team played some hard matches

and had a successful season because they de­

feated Holderness 5-4. Mr. Hatt and Mr. Mac-

Farlane were most helpful in bringing the

two tennis teams along.

The Proctor Players

This school year an eager group of pro­

spective actors gathered together in the late

fall to choose the play that would be presented

to the school during winter carnival. The play

chosen was: "You Can't Take It With You,"

a highly amusing comedy by Moss Hart and

George S. Kaufman.

The preliminary work on the play didn't

begin until about four weeks before Christmas

vacation with all the trial readings for the

parts. The cast was announced just before

Thanksgiving, and the parts were handed out

to be taken home and studied. Real rehearsals

didn't start until after Christmas.

Rehearsal after rehearsal followed with time

and tempers growing short. Jonathon Fisher,

who had the lead part, couldn't seem to realize

that time was running out, much to the an­

noyance of our director. However, under the

able leadership of Mr. Owen, the play went

off without a hitch, and it did us proud.

The play opens in the living room of Mar­

tin Vanderhof (Jonathan Fisher), firm be­

liever in non-conformity, who tries to convert

other people to his way of thinking. At that

moment, Mrs. Penelope Sycamore (Mrs.

Phelps), Martin's daughter, is doing what

she likes more than anything else in the

world. She is writing a play — her eleventh. Comfortably ensconced in what is affectionate­ly known as Mother's Corner, she is pound­ing away on a typewriter perched precariously on a rickety card table. Also on the table is one of those plaster of Paris skulls ordinarily used as an ash tray, but which serves Pene­lope as a candy jar. And, because Penny likes companionship, there are two kittens on the table, busily lapping at a saucer of milk.

Also living under this rather shaky roof is Rheda, the colored maid (David Bliss); Paul (David Gill), Penny's husband and a manu­

facturer of illegal fireworks; Ed Carmichael,

ardent musician and printer (Richard Dahl­

gren), and his wife Essie, a ballet dancer

(Mrs. Peter C a m p ) ; Alice Sycamore (Mrs.

Wright), who is in love with a young man

from the outside world. Last, but by no means

least Frank Coron as Mr. DiPinna was enter­

taining as a partner in the fireworks business.

As you can see this combination of people,

with the supporting cast, were an extremely

entertaining group. The play, given during

the Carnival week-end, was enjoyed immensely

by all present. All of us players would like

to thank Mr. Owen, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Camp,

Mrs. Phelps, and Mrs. Wright without w h o m

the play would never have been done right.

Hail to Westmount O n October 23rd, for the fifth time, the

Proctor Academy Football Team left for Mon­

treal on a Boston and Maine bus, to play the

annual football game with our friendly rival,

Westmount High. The team arrived that after­

noon and were introduced to hosts and host­

esses. Everybody enjoyed the wonderful Fall

Dance put on by Westmount and afterwards

had an enjoyable week-end until the game

was played.

Proctor, with the game of last year in mind,

started off as if they were going to keep up

the winning streak, scoring a touchdown in

quick order, with Weld going over for the six

points. Westmount, however, retaliated with a

touchdown and the extra point, thus leading

at the half 7-6. After the first half the wonder­

ful week-end was too much for the Proctor

team and they had to give up the game to

the quick and fast running Westmount team

12-6.

Holding up the tradition the Westmount

Ski Team came to Proctor with a mixed team

of girls and boys accompanied by Mr. Bartlett,

the principal, Mr. and Mrs. Lawley, and Miss

Macmillan. Because of the lack of snow at

Proctor, Mr. Farrell arranged for both ski

teams to go to Cannon Mountain. There every­

body had a grand time and due to "Lu Lu"

losing the stop watch, we had even a better

time.

The Westmount ski team left on Sunday

with Carl Parker and Bob Murdough keep­

ing up the international relations to the very

end. Thus ended the 1954-1955 exchange of

visits between our Canadian friends and us.

May these visits always continue!

Brief Remarks by an Anxious Father

To His Teen-age Son About to Drive

-X -X

In return for the keys to the car, you're in for three minutes of hard listen­ing. First, you might as well know now that any infraction of the rules that you had to learn to pass your test will mean the end of your permission to drive. The hazards of the road are serious enough when you obey all the regulations. Nobody has a right to multiply the risk.

The rules of the road and some mechanical ability are important, but no more important than your attitude and sense of responsibility. The distorted attitude of some drivers toward the law, toward themselves or toward other living things is what makes the automobile our No. 1 killer. It's up to you to maintain the right attitude as a driver, but be constantly on guard for those w h o don't or won't. The "other fellow" has to be on your mind all the time.

Regard and treat your car as what it is: a complicated mechanism designed to get you where you're going with a minimum of effort on your part. It is not a fast-moving toy, or a means to express feelings of power or superiority, or a stage on which to show off — except maybe your maturity, alertness and con­scientiousness. While you're at the wheel you must never give way to anger, or impatience, or undue hurry, or absent-mindedness, or fatigue, or a stupid impulse to show some idiot that you aren't "chicken."

Courtesy is one ingredient which makes everyday life pleasurable. For a driver, courtesy is the factor which makes life possible.

This car you will drive cost a lot of money. T o buy it required financial sacrifice. It takes more sacrifice to keep it running. Your mother and I had to assume financial and moral responsibility for your actions in it before you got your license. W e carry some expensive insurance to protect us and you. Just the same, a thoughtless or rash move on your part could mean ruin for us. Juries pour it on reckless drivers.

Even more important are the human factors involved. Our good name and personal honor rest on your shoulders as well as ours — never more so than when you're driving our car. I'll spare you any faltering attempts to express the love your mother and I bear for you or our constant concern for your safety. Just keep in mind that everybody is loved by someone — I mean the person driving with you, or behind you, or in front, or on foot in the path of your car.

A lot of responsibility to hand out, isn't it? A measure of the way we feel about you is that we're glad and proud to say, "Take the car keys and have a good time!"
