IN this volume of the Green Lantern, we have attempted to render in a permanent and attractive form the activities of our Class. It does not pretend to be either a record of achievement or a compilation of facts. Such a book cannot hope to recapture those m o m e n t s so precious to each individual. Unpretentious and incomplete as it m a y be, it does, however, strive to preserve for the future those phases in which w e have participated as a group. If it can revivify those things which ought to be lasting, if it can keep perennially alive the really significant events, memorable associates, then no more is sought. It has fulfilled its purpose.

ALLEN REYNOLDS CLARK "Deacon" College Calais, Maine Entered September 1937 Harvard Proctor Press Staff, Green Lantern Board, Debating Team, Choir, Cabin Club, Asst. Mgr. Ski Team, Member of White Team. "Fo' Gooness Sake!" Allen is the intellectual of the Class. His widely-spread talents enable him to participate in many campus activities—he's a whiz on snow shoes. His thoughts and his actions are controlled by his indomitable will, which will undoubtedly make its mark upon the world in whatever field Allen chooses to apply himself.
JOHN S H E R M A N
CLEMENT
"fug-Head" Liberal Winchester, Mass. Entered September 1934 Winter Sports Medal, Dance Committee '34-'38, Outing Club, Cabin Club, Boat Club, Member of Green Team. "Jug-Head" has great ability as a salesman. W h e n he is not collecting money to buy an outboard motor, he is recuperating from a session behind closed doors. His love for mechanics made him significant in boating activities on the lake. His enthusiasm and motor-mindedness have made him a famous character in the Proctor Academy Shop.

Entered September 1935 Vice-President Junior Class '37, Junior Marshal '37, Sophomore-Senior Tennis, Skiing '35—'38, Baseball '37, Outing Club, Cabin Club, Green Lantern Staff. Quincy is the "smooth apple" of the Senior Class. At "Kate's" he spends his allowance liberally (for himself), but wisely. His activities on the year book have been energetic to a degree far beyond our expectations. Emery's sportsmanship on the court has been unquestionable.

Entered September 1937 Nichols Junior College Football '37, Hockey '37, Dance Committee '37—'38, Cabin Club, Proctor Players '37—'38, Senior Ring Committee '38, Green Lantern Staff. "Fro" is the clown, acrobat and dancer of the Class. H e has participated in most school activities, where his fertile imagination and helping hand have beert evident, and have assured him a wide popularity on the campus. "Chuck's" appetite for swing is splendid and his digestion of such has been of advantage to the record dealers. His allowance disappears quite readily but he has no fear of starving to death.
ARNOLD BERNARD GURTLER, II "Bud" Liberal Denver, Colorado Entered September 1937 Football '37, Hockey '37—'38, Baseball '38, President Senior Class '38, Green Lantern Staff, Dance C o m mittee '38, Senior Ring Committee '38, Captain of Green T e a m . "I don' believe it" "Bud's" dominant and friendly personality have m a d e him a natural leader at Proctor. His witty remarks, good spirit and ability as an athlete have m a d e successful teams. Arnold has achieved the rare balance of an all-round student, and seems truly to get a lot of fun out of life. "Gurt" has educated us in the " W a y s of the West."

WYMAN DRUMMOND H E R B E R T , JR. "Drum-Drum" College Larchmont, N . Y.

"It is interesting to note" "Drum's" efficiency and desire to help others ranks him as the individual who has done most for Proctor. His love for saving papers and his desire to transport many books makes him appear studious. Herbert may beat around the barn in explanation, but eventually arrives at his goal.
FRANCIS H U N T "Squbby" Liberal Dedham, Mass. Entered September 1934 Nichols Junior College Treasurer Senior Class, Class President '35—'36, Baseball '36—'38, Hockey '34-38, Football '37, Skiing '36-37, Proctor Players '35-38, Outing Club, Cabin Club, Green Lantern Staff, Member of Green Team. "Hunk" is one of the few four-year boys and he has done justice to those years. As an athlete and student he has worked hard. Hunt has educated those unfortunate individuals who find themselves burdened with waiting on table, his occasional wrath at the "window" has left its effect. Proctor will miss this sincere and versatile individual.

HERMAN ERNEST KRAUS, JR. "Verman" Liberal West Roxbury, Mass. Entered September 1937 Wentworth Institute Skiing '37-38, Dance Committee '38, M e m b e r of White T e a m . H e r m a n is a quiet boy, w h o realizes that "all is not gold that glitters." Those w h o have k n o w n him for a

WILLIAM C O N V E R S E MACLAURIN
"Billy" Liberal Ware, Mass. Entered September 1937 Manager of Hockey '37-38, Dance Committee '37, Green Lantern Staff, M e m b e r of Green T e a m . "Bill is able to have a good time at whatever he does. His abilities in tennis demand praise and his victories on the court are examples of good sportsmanship. Gannett House will miss his gibes and comment on curricular activity. W e are afraid that MacLaurin is one of those candid camera fans. W e reserve our judgment on this attribute.

POST GRADUATE MAX ARTHUR JOHNSTON College Grinnell, Iowa Entered September 1937 Harvard Football '37-38, Debating Team '37—'38, Proctor Players, Cabin Club, Proctor Press Staff, Member of Green Team. "Oh Sure" Max is the philosopher of the P. G'S. H e always presents a weighty view of the question, but is an eternal optimist. Consuming food is not one of his difficulties. Johnston refuses to worry about anything (including his stomach). A n excellent speaker and debater we expect to have him back to preach to future Proctor students after he has graduated from Harvard Divinity School.

T h e Junior Class THE Class of 1939 is composed of eight boys in the College Course and two in the Liberal. T h e class is well represented in the various school organizations and especially the athletic teams, having six varsity football and baseball m e n , five hockey players and three skiiers. T h e class also ranks well scholastically and is prominent in all school affairs and activities. "Smiley" Peck is the class athlete and "tough guy," well liked by all. T h e playboy division is well represented by "Jeems" Koestlin of Detroit and a true son of the South, All W o o d s . Mike Fox supplies the laughs for us at the right moments, while Waldemar Flint spouts his radical views and quotes facts at the drop of the hat. T h e class has three stalwart sons of old N e w England in Dick Cochran, Will Wise and Blake Colt, w h o supply the m u c h needed conservative element in our activities. A recent addition to our class has been another three letter m a n , "Phip" Morss, the mighty midget from Newton, w h o has decided to remain at Proctor another year. Arnold Rogers radiates the influence of metropolitan atmosphere, and last but not least w e have "Butch" Magoni, the story teller par excellence, always ready to give Fall River a boost. C O L T '39

The Sophomore Class THE Sophomore Class is large enough to be the balancing factor at Proctor. They are to become the Juniors and leaders at the school next year, carrying on important traditions built this year. Because of their age they have probably learned more than the older boys w h o k n e w just part of the great reorganization of Proctor. T h e greatest contribution of the Sophomore Class is the Proctor Press, which was organized, written and published largely by the Sophomores. Prominent in the class are "Smiling Butch" Fullerton; Yachtsman Paine, the debater; "Man-Mountain" Kaufholtz, comedian and scholar; George Richardson, managing editor of the "News"; and "Ferd" Wilder, top student.

The Freshman Class T H E Freshman Class this year was quite small compared to the Senior Class. "Red" Goodsell, "Doc" Gredler, "Randy" Mathewson, and "Connie" Blaauw comprised the college group, while "Sandy" Lee and "Walt" Morrill were the only ones taking the Liberal course. In sports "Red" went out for baseball and was a handy man. "Randy," also tried for baseball. "Doc," "Walt," and "Sandy" were not in any of the major sports, but instead helped with the rest of the ski-trail crew in making n e w trails and repairing old ones for use next winter. They did this under the able direction of M r . and Mrs. Burbank. "Connie," because he was a day student, did not have the opportunity of going in for a sport. All the freshmen except Blaauw were in Cary House and they will probably be there next year also. W e certainly have enjoyed our first year at Proctor and each m e m b e r of the class expects to return to the school next fall. G R E D L E R '41

Football THE football season at Proctor proved this year to be unusual. Under the guidance of M r . Farrell a football team was organized, thefirsttime in three years that Proctor Academy has had football material. Both Coach Farrell and the team were disappointed in our inability to arrange a complete season, but due to the late decision to organize a team the school was unable to arrange the desired number of games. Nevertheless, the games played and the boys w h o played in them have set a precedent for the following Proctor teams to keep and build. T h e members of the team are as follows: John MacDonald, our captain and quarterback. " M a c " will be remembered for his excellent handling of the team in its "tight spots." B u d Gurtler, fullback. "Big B u d " and his crashing line plunges will always be remembered. Blake Colt, halfback. "Blacky" on the right of the fullback proved a valuable offensive m a n . [373

W e all have hopes for " H a n k " next year for this year he surprised us all with his unusual playing. Richard Cochran, center. Dick was a boon to the team with his quick, well-timed centers. H u m p h r e y Lee, right-guard. Sandy's opponents will always wonder just what did m a k e them fall—the answer is Sandy's knowledge of some Jiujitsu. Frank Magoni, right-tackle. Magoni just knocked them d o w n and sat on them—that was enough! M a x Johnston, right-end. M a x was a valuable defense man. George Peck, right-end. D u e to a temporary ailment Peck couldn't play much, but with his broken gait w e have real hopes for him next year. Charles Froelich, center. "Fro" stepped into a game one day with his usual grin and really "went to town." William Wise, right-guard. "Willie" learned the ropes this year, n o w w e expect some real action next year. RAY

Hockey AS part of the reorganization program of Proctor hockey was revived as a J. V. major sport. W e feel that the sport itself is significant in a school-boy's career. O n the ice each boy has an opportunity to show those attributes of sportsmanship and courage. Hockey was introduced to Proctor's curriculum this year because the students were anxious to participate in the inter-scholastic competition. Last Fall under the direction of M r . Fay and M r . Rounds the difficult task of providing an artificial lake was accomplished. Members of the squad and those "interested in the squad spent m a n y useful hours in building the

dam and preparing the meadow so that we could have an adequate skating rink. Coach Farrell scheduled m a n y games and secured an engagement at Lake Placid. Naturally the boys were thrilled at the idea of going to that nationally k n o w n winter resort. W e feel it is a compliment that the hockey team has been requested to participate in the events at Lake Placid next year. A n y comments about each individual m e m b e r of the team would be insignificant in appraising their abilities. T h e season closed with the genuine feeling of satisfaction so prevalent at Proctor. This team is proud of their part in the reviving of Proctor traditions. T h e prospects for hext season are good. With the exception of Capt. Francis Hunt, John MacDonald, star center, Charles Froelich, goal, and Bud Gurtler, defense, the entire squad will be back at school. With a group of seasoned players including Morss, Peck and Fox from this year's team, Coach Farrell is confident of having a good team to represent the school in 1938— 1939. T h e team will miss the steadiness of Francis H u n t in the defense, and the brilliant ice work of MacDonald in thefirstline, but Morss and Fox are developing rapidly and can take over the positions vacated by the 1938 star players. A ten g a m e schedule is being arranged and work is being done to improve the d a m and to widen the rink, all looking forward to advancing the good work of the 1937-1938 hockey squad.

Although conditions were not favorable for continued skiing during the season, snow was received with added enthusiasm and skiers often resorted to paradises upon more northerly slopes.

Baseball B A S E B A L L teams are considered traditional at Proctor Academy. Each spring Coach Dresser conditions a group of boys w h o are willing and anxious to participate in the friendly competition existing between Proctor and several of the N e w Hampshire schools. Outdoor training for the 1938 baseball season started the second week in April with an encouraging showing of boys and an inspiring spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship. During the full three weeks of conditioning prior to ourfirstscheduled game, much playing ability was discovered and baseball talent acquired. Diligent hours of practice and training have produced favorable results—the candidates were as a group inexperienced. W e of the team feel that this success is due to Mr. Dresser's abilities as a baseball player and adviser. The Proctor Club of 1938 is proud to pass on to the Club of 1939 a tradition of skill and fair play.

(Bac/( Row) Coach Farrell, Wilder. (Front Row) Prouty, Emery, Findley.
Tennis FOR the first time in several years Mr. Farrell realized that Proctor contained some very promising tennis talent. T h e tennis courts were put into condition by the squad and additional practice grounds were obtained in Andover. Several meets were scheduled, the scores of which were Holderness 5-0, Brewster 4-1, Brewster 5-0. Sportsmanship is the prime factor of a tennis team. Several members of this team have shown unfailing attributes of fair play. George Prouty, Quincy Emery, William MacLaurin, Ferdinand Wilder and T h o m a s Findley participated in various meets and engaged in competition a m o n g themselves. Considering the accommodations at Proctor five members on the tennis squad was ideal. Their skill was easy to develop because of their number and the abilities of Coach Farrell, despite the fact that the results of the various matches were not encouraging. T h e team disbanded this Spring with the feeling that they had acquired skill.

Student Council T H E election of the Student Council was held in October 1937 with the provision that one member should be from .Cary House. More than half the school was nominated for this office. The winning candidates were: (Standing in picture) Harold T. Ray '38 John A. MacDonald, P.G. Howard K. Fullerton '40 Blake F. Colt '39 (Seated) D. Dana McNeill 38

The Council met and elected Dana McNeill, Chairman and Howard Fullerton, Clerk. The Student Council has been well aware of the two methods by which it might please the students at Proctor. First, it might have sought changes which would have pleased those looking forward to a year of ease and leisure. Second, it might have sought action which would please those looking back at substantial results with pride and satisfaction. W h e n Sunday morning study hall was introduced it undoubtedly was unpopular to those thinking in terms of the present. W e now ask you to look at it in terms of the past and ask yourself one question. Did it help you to accomplish the purpose for which you are a student at this school? There can be but one conscientiously formed answer. W e thank Mr. Gulick and the faculty for their cooperation in considering our suggestions for improvements. W e are convinced of having established the Student Council upon a firm working basis with the headmaster and the Staff. From an administrative point of view the 1937-1938 Student Council has been the most satisfactory in many years. It has carried out its function of official contact between the student body and the faculty with a m i n i m u m of friction, and has had the best interests of both groups clearly in mind. The Council has, therefore, been allowed to assume more responsibility than has been the custom. The student body chose its Council wisely and it is hoped that this example of intelligent leadership will be followed in the future. M C N E I L L '38

T h e Proctor Press WE again have a student newspaper which carries on the services of the "Type" and the "Acumen." Richard Alton started the revival in September, 1937, by approaching several masters with the idea. A house meeting was called in Cary House to enlist student cooperation. Arnold Rogers was elected editor-in-chief and an editorial board consisting of Arnold E. Rogers, Richard H . Alton, George F. Richardson, Kenneth A. Payne, Brett Smithers and Blake F. Colt was organized. After a month of work thefirstedition was issued in October. Successive issues have appeared monthly. T h e papers were sold to the students at two cents a copy, and m a n y parents bought year's subscriptions. T h e school purchased extra copies. A remarkably high percentage of sophomores and juniors served on the board, which gives the future of the paper a bright outlook. F e w of the staff will be lost through graduation and the nucleus of the board will remain for next year. CLARK

% Debating Team I N the middle of the Fall term 1937 M r . Farrell issued a call for debating candidates, which was answered by Allen Clark, W a l d e m a r Flint and M a x Johnston. T h e following week they were joined by Kenneth Payne. O f these, Clark and Johnston had had previous debating experience and Flint had participated in oratorical contests. Payne rapidly developed as a keen debater and the team's prospect for the season looked good. T h e question: "Resolved, that the several states should adopt a Unicameral system of legislation" was selected and several practice debates were held, one in the Chapel

Feb. 8th, and one before the Andover High School Feb. 17. Clark and Flint took the affirmative and Johnston and Payne the negative. T h e season's opener at Kimball Union A c a d e m y Feb. 25, our affirmative vs. their negative was lost by a 2-1 decision. O u r negative team, however, wiped out that defeat by a 3-0 decision at Proctor on March 15th. Clark and Johnston presented a no-decision contest at the.Friends-of-Proctor banquet, March 18. O n April 1 w e met the crack Laconia Squad here. O u r affirmative trimmed the opposing negative 2-1. There was no decision on the other debate, between our negative and their affirmative. A challenge was sent to the N e w Hampshire freshmen, but no reply was received. This ended what w e consider a very successful season. W e are sorry to lose Clark and Johnston, but w e believe Flint and Payne will form the nucleus of a still more successful team next year. T h e success of our debating team pleased us the more because of the few victories w o n by our athletic teams. If w e cannot out-run or out-skate our adversaries, it is a comfort to k n o w that w e can out-talk and out-think them. Particularly satisfying was the decisive victory over K. U. A. Interscholastic debating contests are growing in popularity and w e hope to establish a league a m o n g the private schools in this region. If the past season is an indication of future success w e m a y well expect Proctor to take its place at the head of this activity. C L A R K '38

Proctor Players THE Proctor Players is an extra-curriculum activity which has always been popular at school. A s this is a boys' boarding school, it is difficult to present plays with women's parts. For that reason the club has been producing one-act, all-men plays. They have m a d e productions of Eugene O'Neill's one-act plays effectively. During the s u m m e r of 1936 Proctor had a troupe of players visiting summer camps in N e w England. It was the first time, to our knowledge, that any school had done this. T h e boys were received cordially at all of the camps they visited and at the end of the s u m m e r they expressed the opinion that they had had a unique experience. Under the able direction of M r . Lyle Farrell this club will always produce enjoyable one-act plays. O u r best wishes to the Proctor Players. H U N T '38

Cabin Club IN the Fall of 1934 Mr. Burbank organized the project of building a cabin. Atfirstfindinga site for the cabin presented some difficulty, as the exact extent of the school property was unknown. However, with the cooperation of Mr. Charles Stone and Mr. Fenton the boundaries were determined. A n ideal spot, on a slight hill, near a water supply, was located and in the spring of 1935 construction was started. By that summer a few logs were in place. In the fall of 1935 m u c h remained to be done and the assistance of the boys in the shop course was enlisted under the direction of Mr. Fay. In the Fall of 1936 Mr. Gulick expressed his approval of the cabin project and urged its speedy completion. It was organized as a regular recreational activity and was completed in the spring of 1937. T h e work of building the cabin has been enjoyed by those w h o worked on it, and it is hoped that by proper use and care the cabin itself m a y be enjoyed by those w h o benefit by our work.

A Senior's Comment A NOTHER class passes through Proctor's portals and goes on to other acx
V. tivities. T h e Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-eight has revived
the tradition of year books. It has been a long and arduous task, in which every m e m b e r of the class has done his small bit. This has been an unusual class. Each boy has an entirely different character, with his o w n individual opinions, abilities and attributes. W e have been a part of a tradition-building era. It is our sincere hope that this will not be just another class and it is up to us as a group to retain the school spirit. Undoubtedly no matter what the future fortunes of each of us will be, Proctor has proved a turning point in our lives. In closing we say it is up to each one of you: A. R. C, J. S. C, Q. P. E.,
