RICHARD HOLMES ALTON "Dick" Liberal Evanston, 111. Entered September 1937 Baseball Manager 3, Football Squad 3, Sailing 2, Green Lantern Staff 3, 4, Hockey T e a m 4, Proctor Press 2, 3, 4, Proctor Players 2, 3, 4. Because of his size and verbosity "Dick" has been the butt of m a n y unnecessary puns. In spite of this he has stuck to his guns in the things he likes, notably the Proctor Press and the Proctor Players. H e has shown the calibre of courage necessary for successful living by his earnest endeavors on the hockey team.

HARRY DUNLAP BROWN,

JR"Bozo" College Billerica, Mass. Entered September 1938 Norwich Football T e a m 3, Ass't Ski M a n ager 4, Proctor Players 3, 4. "Bozo" is famed alike for his amours and hard-hitting football. His many friends testify to the fact that he has w o n the title of the most generous and kindly boy in the Senior Class. T h e Green Lantern and ski team thank him for m a n y hours of hard labor. His melodious voice contributed greatly to the operetta.

Gordon is most prominent in athletics being a three letter man for two years. His aspirations to play college football may well be realized as his actions on the Proctor team this year have proved that he is fully capable of it. His frankness with other people has usually been more pleasurable than painful. The best of luck.

G E O R G E ROSS ELBERFELD "Elber" Liberal East Boston, Mass. Entered September 1937 Rochester Mechanics Six-man Football 3, Ski T e a m 2, 3, Outing Club 4, Archery 4, Tennis Squad 2, 3, Cabin Club 3, 4. Although quiet and reserved George is one of the ablest boys in the Senior Class. The Proctor environment has made George one of the many boys who have a wholesome love for outdoor life. His interest and ability in mathematics and the sciences will carry him far in his ambition to study engineering.

Entered September 1938 Football T e a m 3, 4, Captain of Football T e a m 4, Baseball T e a m 3, 4, Cabin Club 3, 4, Student Council 4, Green Lantern Staff 4. "Buck" is the outdoor m a n of the class due to his knowledge of wild life and nature. Weekends have found our cabin very often occupied by him, but his activities have not been limited to the woods for he has played an important part on the athletic field, and also in the shaping of the Student Council.

%*"Âť

N O R M A N LESLIE H A L E "Norm" Liberal Newtonville, Mass. Entered September 1939 Improvement Squad 4, Ski Squad 4, Tennis Squad 4. "Norm" has been greatly handicapped this year due to a long confinement in the infirmary during the winter term. However, such a set-back did not dampen his spirits and he came through this Spring to furnish the Tennis team with many humorous afternoons on the court.

[21]

L A N T E R N RALPH WHEELOCK HULBERT "Ralph" College Brookline, Mass. Entered September 1939 Springfield Hockey Team 4, Ski T e a m 4, Proctor Players 4, Archery 4. Although with us for only one year, Ralph has made a lasting impression on his classmates. H e introduced Archery to the school as a regular part of our sports program as well as starring in both skiing and hockey. H e also played the leading man in the operetta.

JOHN MARCUS KAUFHOLZ "Tiny" College Canton, Ohio Entered September 1937 Dartmouth Ski Team 2, 3, 4. Captain of Ski Team 4, Outing Club 4, Baseball Squad 2, 3, Cabin Club 4, Dance Committee 4, VicePresident of Senior Class 4, Student Council 4. Long hours of hard work and extreme patience have proved "Tiny's" right to leadership. His gargantuan size and capacity for "icebergs" have only been outdistanced by his renown as a "jitterbug" and Cross-country man.

"Trig," as he was named by a preceding class, has shown his ability in athletics as well as in scholastics. H e has gone out for the most competitive sports, and in them has set an example for many boys. Although reserved by nature he stands high in all his classes.

K E N N E T H A D A M S PAYNE "Ken" College Pleasantville, N. Y.

One of the scholastic leaders of the class, Ken's wide knowledge of oriental philosophies and sailing have been the basis of many an argument. His drive and mental energy will undoubtedly carry him through to his ambition, to be a doctor.

College N . Brookfield, Mass. Entered September 1939 Football T e a m 4, Hockey T e a m 4, Proctor Players 4, Baseball T e a m 4, Green Lantern Staff 4. "Carl," the talent scout of the Andover beauties, is so successful at making friends w e wonder if he is a student of Dale Carnegie's, " H o w to W i n Friends and Influence People." In the short time he has been with us he has w o n varsity letters in both Hockey and Football. "Carl" m a y be back next year as a P. G.

George's genius for business administration, and his passion for neatness and punctuality have given him the position of Secretary in m a n y school organizations. His conscientiousness and serious efforts will carry him far in Textiles.

Arnold's fondness for jokes has kept the dormitory shaking with laughter. In more serious moments he is deeply studious and has shown his versatility in his persistent efforts in extra-curricular activities.

F R A N K W. S A R G E A N T >C "Sarge" College Upper Montclair, N . J. Entered January 1940 Ski Squad 4, Baseball T e a m 4.

Whatever he has attempted to do he has done to the very best of his ability. W e regret that our acquaintance with him has been so short.

"Smeeth" has been the mainstay of many student ideas and problems, and has been valuable to the Student Council in solving them. His desire to go far out-side of school has been shown by his industriousness and clear thinking.

EDWIN DUNCAN URQUHART "Ed"

Liberal Edgewood, R. I. Entered October 1939 Nichols Junior College Football T e a m 4, Hockey Team 4, Baseball Team 4, Captain of White Team. "Ed" entered Proctor after the school year was already under way and immediately showed himself to be a leader not only scholastically but also in the field of sports. In the "dungeon" he has been a pleasant contrast and a Ping Pong ladder climber. W e are sure that "Ed" will go a long way and be a credit to himself and to Proctor.

"Doug" will be best remembered for his hockey and his volubility. Not only has he excelled on the ice, from whence his erratic movements early earned him the title of "Bouncy," but also in his studies. W e expect great things of his ambitions in the business world.

H e has been a prominent figure on the Ski T e a m , especially in jumping. His insatiable appetite for modern music has been appeased regularly at the local store, but he still clings to the melodies of the "Count."

These things have been assets to the organizations of which he is a member. W e have all learned a great deal from him. College

ROBERT NIMS SAWYER,

"Bob" has proved a valuable assistant to the dance committees in arranging many successful "blinds" through his seemingly endless feminine correspondence. "Bob" will be remembered as one of the best natured men of Gannett House, and as an ardent, though not always successful, ski jumper.

"Swett" Liberal Cleveland, Ohio Entered September 1939 Nichols Junior College Ski Squad 4, Sailing 4, Proctor Players 4, Green Lantern Staff 4. If there is a consistently buoyant spirit in school it is Paul Swetland. "Swett's" excellence with paint and brush can be seen in the cuts for the year book and his ability in sailing has been a boost to that group. His drive and enthusiasm have contributed much to Proctor. W e wish him luck.

Entered September 1938 Football Manager 5, Football T e a m 6, Ski Squad 5, Hockey Manager 6, Tennis Squad 5, Proctor Press 5, 6, Proctor Players 5, 6, Green Lantern Staff 6. "Hugh" has the distinction of enjoying his second P. G. at Proctor. H e will be most remembered for his theatrical ability and good nature. In 1938 "Hugh" was an unusually efficient football manager and in 1939 he made the jump from manager to letter man.

^rootball T)ROCTOR ACADEMY'S 1939 football season showed a fighting spirit â€˘*â€˘ in spite of four losses. The inexperience of the players, not the team spirit, may be judged by the scores. More than the usual number of the younger boys turned out and these may be expected to form the backbone of next year's team. October 7, Proctor vs. Vermont Academy Proctor came up from behind on the home field in the opening game of the season but could not tie Vermont Academy, after a vicious set of marches had failed to net more than one touchdown. The Vermont squad, who drove to two quick touchdowns in the first half, won the game 13-7.

An 85 yard march by a series of passes and sweeps, which set Proctor for its only score, was the highlight of the game. Although both teams were inexperienced, on several occasions Proctor showed strong offensive possibilities. It appeared statistically that Vermont deserved to win, but late minute hard football by the Proctor team gave promise of good football. October 21, Proctor vs. Traip T h e second g a m e of the season was an upset with Proctor being the loser, 31 to 0, but also it proved to the team the dangers of interceptions and fumbles. A strong running attack headed by a powerful backfield seemed a little too m u c h for Proctor to handle. In thefirsthalf, Traip m a d e two touchdowns w h e n they unfolded line smashing plays and recovered fumbles and intercepted two Proctor passes. T h e second half was spotted with a few more interceptions and Traip gained eighteen more points. Proctor's big chance came w h e n they gained thirty yards on a fake reverse. Sparked by this the team opened its drive, which was only halted by thefinalwhistle. October 28, Proctor vs. Brewster T h e Green team played at Brewster in a high wind blowing in from the open expanses of Lake Winnepesaukee which seriously crippled the h o m e team's passing attack. Proctor did not manage to threaten the Brewster eleven until the last period w h e n a finishing spurt was ended by the whistle to give the Brewster team a 27-0 victory. November 11, Proctor vs. Holderness T h e traditional Holderness-Proctor rivalry flared u p in this last and all-important game of the season, as both teams played a better brand of football than they had played before. T h e score, 25-0 for Holderness, does not, as might be surmised, imply a sweeping victory for Holderness. Proctor ran the ball time and again to the goal line of its adversary but then became nervous and fumbled while the more confident Holderness team converted all their potentialities into scores. F r o m all points of view this g a m e upheld the characteristic friendly rivalry of the two schools.

^Mockif T H E 1940 Hockey T e a m members proved to be an experienced group in the first practice and set a n e w example of team play in spite of the smallness of the squad. T h e team lost most of its games but all of those were to schools considerably larger and with squads from two to five times its size. This and the injuries and illness which the team suffered more than justify its one-sided score sheet. January 10, Proctor (l)-Vermont (4) away Proctor's opening game with Vermont Academy's combinedfirstand second teams saw the h o m e team go d o w n fighting to the score of 4-1 against more than thirty opposing players. As was the case in all later games thefirstline played all but a few minutes of the game. January 13, Proctor (3)â€”Brewster (4) h o m e T h e team suffered its second setback of the season by bowing to a strong Brewster aggregation. Ice conditions hampered both teams but the game had plenty of action and scoring. January 17, Proctor (3)-Kimball Union (2) away With the entire team playing good hockey w e wiped out the bad [40]

taste of past defeats, outplaying the K. U. A. team to the tune of 3-2 and making the first victory of the year for any Proctor team. January 20, Proctor (0)—Northwood (9) away This game was included in the annual trip to Lake Placid and winter sports competition with Northwood school. Competing against such superior rivals the team turned in an exceptional job in keeping the score d o w n to the 9-0 defeat. January 24, Proctor (4)—Holderness (2) away Proctor avenged itself for the football defeat stamping d o w n the Holderness opposition for a score of 4-2. T h e team hit its stride in the first period in a scoring spree and then clinched the game in the last period with another goal. January 27, Proctor (2)—Vermont (4) h o m e T h e team lost for the second time this season to Vermont Academy 4-2. Proctor scored first in the first period but Vermont rallied with three successive goals taking a lead which they held to the end. February 14, Proctor (1)—Holderness (1) h o m e T h e second of a two game series with Holderness ended in a 1-1 tie. Bad ice again slowed up play and an exhausting overtime period failed to benefit either side. February 23, Proctor (2)—Brewster (8) away Brewster again toppled the Green aided by Proctor injuries and sickness. This game, the hardest fought of the season, ended in a score of 8-2. February 24, Proctor (2)—Clark (11) away Meeting the first large up-set since the Lake Placid trip Proctor was beaten by a two m a n Clark team 11-2. T h e two Clark aces exhibited a style of close cooperation that gained Proctor goals in later games. February 28, Proctor (4)—New H a m p t o n (1) away T h e N e w H a m p t o n J. V. team proved to be more in numbers but less in experience as Proctor easily walked away with a 4-1 victory. February 29, Proctor (0)—Kimball Union (1) h o m e T h e game with N e w H a m p t o n the previous day prevented the team from playing the game in their usual energetic manner and they dropped the game in a close battle 1-0. March 2, Proctor (3)-Clark (8) h o m e A n overconfident Clark team defeated its o w n ends in piling up a large score as the Green held them d o w n to eight tallies and pushed in three themselves. This ended the 1940 hockey season.

Four boys responded to the call and elected Archery as their regular spring sport. M a n y others have shown their interest and have come out whenever they could spare time from their regular activities. T h e skills which the sport develops seems to insure its continuance.

~Jke v->aieball Je earn T)ROCTOR opened its baseball season against the Tilton J. V.s on M a y 8th. T h e team's inexperience was the cause of the disastrous 26-0 defeat they suffered. T h e next game, with the N e w H a m p t o n J. V.s showed that the team had mastered the difficulties which had m a d e thefirstdefeat possible as they were beaten by the close score of 6-4. Proctor showed some real adeptness in the game with Holderness on M a y 18 in which the spectacular hitting of both teams rather obscured their excellent defensive play. Although the team was beaten in this game 13-11 w e are looking forward to the next game with Holderness because the teams are very evenly matched. There are also four other games scheduled which will not be played in time to describe in the Green Lantern.

~Ti H E Improvement Squad was organized three years ago by M r .

From year to year, this organization has accomplished some remarkable feats and has done a great deal to help the growing needs of the school. A m o n g its more spectacular undertakings, this squad has been largely responsible for the upkeep of the Cabin and has n o w nearly completed the leveling of the ground adjacent to Cary House for three new tennis courts. T h e class of '40 extend their heartiest thanks for their splendid work.

O n M a y 15 the Proctor crew, skippered by Abbott Phillips, defeated over thirty-five schools in the Proctor sponsored M . I. T . regatta on the Charles River, which included many of the most successful younger sailors in the East. Phillips was given the Proctor Boatshop built skiff which was thefirstprize. O n M a y 25 Proctor, again under Abbott Phillips's able skippering, w o n the ten school regatta sponsored by Brown University on Narragansett Bay. In six heats Proctor w o n four, was second once, and was disqualified once for touching a buoy. Phillips and Sandy Lee, his crew, showed superior skill at all times. T h e success of the Proctor crews is probably due to the constant sailing of our o w n fast boats on Highland Lake last Fall and since the ice went out this Spring. Other sailing activities included dual meet victories over Vermont Academy and Colby Junior College, and two defeats by the M . I. T . Freshmen. M u c h credit is due to M r . Shinn for his competent direction of the sailing season. [48]

^Jhe J^tudent Council H P H E Student Council of 1940 was represented by five boys w h o were A definitely concerned with the promotion of Proctor's standing as a school. This purpose was achieved by improving existing conditions to meet the student's needs more adequately and by aiding boys w h o had personal difficulties. This group has not been solely a "complaint bureau," but has striven to make constructive, helpful suggestions, and in several instances carried out these ideas without being entirely dependent on faculty assistance. O n e example of this was the establishment of the school auxiliary fire department which will undoubtedly prove an asset to both the school and the community. T h e school regrets the loss of four of these boys by graduation, but will profit greatly by association with them and by their good work for the school.

T h e function of this society is to further enlighten the students in current affairs and any other subjects that are brought before the meetings. T h e society holds its meetings every other Thursday evening at the Parsonage. T h e attendance at the society's meetings varied from week to week depending upon the amount of school work to be done. M a n y of the members attended faithfully week in and week out and enjoyed the meetings very much.

T N 1936 the Proctor Outing Club was organized for those boys who could pass certain tests either in skiing or woodsmanship. Its membership this year has rapidly increased due both to the advancement of skiing and its organization under the Eastern Amateur Ski Association. The E. A. S. A. individual memberships have, in particular, increased the enthusiasm of the boys. The great strides that skiing has made at school may well bring the Club wide recognition within the next five years. OFFICERS:

H P H E Proctor Press was founded in 1937 and has steadily grown in -*• size and circulation. U p until this year the Press was printed by hand at the school by members of the board. This year the Press board decided that the circulation of the paper would be increased if it were printed by a company that could improve the appearance of the paper. T h e subscription price was raised so as to meet the cost of printing. Six issues were printed during the year, two of which were alumni issues, combined with the Proctor News, and dealing partly with alumni news. Several n e w articles have been introduced, a m o n g them being the article headed "Who's W h o . " T h e Proctor Press Board of 1940 consisted of: Editor-in-Chief

T h e club was officially organized during the winter and started active work shortly after the Spring recess.

Class Ode of 1940 Wind of Ragged whisper at my window pane, Wind of Kearsarge bring the clean white snow to me, I would be in the white N e w Hampshire hills again, Back to graceful bending Birch and singing Pine, T o all the hopes my heart did once contain. A lonely lad, I loved your mountain streams, I heard the haunting call of whip-poor-wills, And smelled the pungent Pine which seems So much a part of you and fills With aromatic scent m y fondest dreams. Far below thy ragged wind-torn crest there lies A school where boys are taught to live like men. Where learning grows, where youthful hopes arise. Where happy friends can sing a joyous song, Where kindly hearts are quick to sympathize. Across the broad Atlantic lie vast lands Laid waste by futile Envy, Hate, and Fear. The leaders must have never known the bands Of love and brotherhood which we have welded here, Have never known the kindly hearts, the helping hands. John E. Nelson
