R O B E R T M. FISHER
oA Word from Mr. Farrell As you all heard too m a n y times during the last year, the Class of 1954 is the 25th which I have seen graduate from Proctor. T h e class contained neither the best students nor the best athletes w h o m I have seen graduate, but the group is certainly ruggedly individualistic. From the time w h e n the class entered as freshm e n until I handed them their diplomas, there ^vere few dull moments in living and working with them. I believe that there are great potentialities in the class for strong leadership in business and the professions, if the members of the class will live up to the high ideals that w e have labored to teach them. As I look back over the 1953-1954 school year, I get the general impression that the year was a happy and successful one. T h e school government was efficient, the m a n y activities seemed to be filled with enthusiastic participants, most boys accomplished their objectives, and faculty morale seemed to be high. T h e weather was not very kind in regard to snow this winter and the superabundance of rain in M a y , but nevertheless, our athletic teams performed creditably. W e w o n the Holderness football game, and a fair proportion of our other contests with our traditional rival. W e w o n both of our m u c h publicized international contests with our good Canadian friends at Westmount High School. These victories would have m a d e a satisfactory year if w e had lost all others, which w e did not. M u c h more important is the fact that I believe that w e added to our already good reputation for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct. I would like to extend m y thanks to everyone for all their kindness in commemorating m y 25th anniversary at Proctor. Mrs. Farrell and I deeply appreciate the m a n y complimentary things that were said, and the large sum of money that was raised to go into school projects. M y great problem comes in trying to approach, even remotely, the m a n described at the Anniversary Banquet.

Football O n September 17, 1953 twenty-seven boys returned for four days of intensive drill and conditioning. By the time school opened the boys were in fine condition due to the able coaching of M r . Wright, M r . C a m p , and M r . Farrell. T h efirstg a m e was against Vermont Acade m y on our field. Proctor was lacking in experience and lost to Vermont 33-13. Throughout the g a m e Proctor tried hard to overcome its inexperience, but the fumbles and errors by the runners and linemen set the pace for the defeat. Vermont was ahead at the half 7-6 and went on to increase its margin despite Proctor's defensive plays. T h e next g a m e was against Tilton at Proc-
tor. T h e team, a bit discouraged after their first loss, came back to defeat Tilton 19-0 in a well played game. In this g a m e Proctor started completing its passes, running the proper assignments, and in general looked like a promising team. After hard practice, the line started holding and the backs worked well with the line. T h e following week, Proctor played Brooks School for thefirsttime, without any knowledge of its offense or defense. In this g a m e Proctor gambled on n e w plays which turned out to be very successful, as Proctor w o n 14-6. It was a very clean g a m e and w e are looking forward to m a n y games with Brooks in the future.
T h e next Saturday Proctor journeyed out of the country to play its international friends at Westmount High School, Montreal. Each year the boys enjoy the Canadian hospitality. This year was especially enjoyable since w e brought back the D o u g Smaill Trophy. This was the first time since 1950 that Proctor has had the honor of holding this trophy. T h e teams fought hard throughout the game. T h e first half was played under American rules which gave Proctor the winning point as w e w o n 18-17. Proctor continued its winning streak by swamping the N e w H a m p t o n J. V.'s 14-0. In this g a m e the fans saw a mature and well run team. B y this time the boys had confidence in each other. T h e second string team played in the last few minutes of the g a m e and came close to scoring, only to be stopped by the clock.
T h e final g a m e of the season was played against our rival Holderness. It was a very clean game, as there were no penalties against either team. Steve Speliotis r a m m e d through the center for five yards producing the only touchdown of the game. Newell Freeman carried the ball over the line for the extra point and a 7-0 victory for Proctor. Thus Proctor finished the season with a very impressive record and the school sincerely wishes Artie Pratt and the next year's football hopefuls the best of luck. Thanks should go to the coaches: Spencer Wright, Jack C a m p , and Lyle Farrell; for an excellent job done in the past season. M u c h credit should be given to B o b Batal w h o captained the squad and was the main sparkplug in keeping the team's spirit up during the season.

Skll"g Preparations for the ski season started after Thanksgiving with rope climbing and other vigorous exercises in the gym. This was usually followed by running the cross country course. Most of the boys looked forward to ski c a m p January 1st, but it was cancelled due to lack of snow. T h e Proctor A. and B. teams had their first meet with the University of N e w Hampshire freshmen. Led by Co-Captains Herb Pitcher and Bob Ludwig, the ski team did well racing as a team but did not have enough experience to place first. First place in downhill was taken by U. N . H . followed closely by Carl Parker. In cross-country Blackall and Moulton
were the two top on team score. Q u i m b y finished first for the A. team in jumping. In slalom the two top places on the team were taken by Parker and Moulton. T h e next meet at Vermont Academy was only a two eventer due to lack of snow. V. A. scored 1 0 0 % in both cross-country and jumping. Parker was top m a n for us placing ninth. Doc. C a m p said: "I think that V. A. showed the finest team jumping in interscholastic competition." Blackall was first for Proctor by placing fifth in cross-country. Holderness, Lebanon, and Hanover met us here for another two event meet in which w e placed second. Lebanon wasfirst.Moulton
led all in cross-country. Parker was Proctor's next m a n coming in fifth. Q u i m b y and Pitcher placed top for us in the jumping. O u r traditional International Ski Meet with Westmount turned out a victory for Proctor. Towle H i g h School of Newport, N . H . finished last while Proctor B. team gained third place. Proctor w o n downhill, cross-country, and slalom. Jumping was not included in team score. Holderness, Laconia, and Proctor at Holderness was another meet w e placed well in. W e w o n cross-country and downhill with Blackall the outstanding runner in the crosscountry. In slalom Carl Parker was fourth followed by Hodgkins and Quimby. Pitcher placed first for the team in jumping with seventh place. Blackall followed close behind him. In the interscholastics held at Norwich University in Northfield, Vt., w e took fourth
in the most efficiently run meet the team had all year. For the only time this year the boys m a d e unusually unsteady runs. Blackall was the only m a n placing in the top ten. Slalom on Saturday morning took its toll in falls, but w e still took third place in team score. Pitcher wasfifteenthand ourfirstman. Hodgkins placed first for Proctor in downhill and eighth in that event. Because of lack of experience on big jumps, Proctor did not fare too well. T h e Proctor B. team had a successful season taking Holderness, Lebanon, and Woodstock Country D a y School. Mainly the B. team had a great time. Since Pitcher is the only one leaving the team, the outlook for next season is excellent under the leadership of Captain B o b Ludwig. A high-light of the season was the ski holiday at Pico Peak on March 11th. T h e picture below brings back memories of that day.

'Proctor Sailing Qlub T h e fall season of the Proctor Sailing Club started off well with twenty-seven boys. T h e boys w h o go out for sailing must compete both in the fall and in the spring in order to be eligible for a varsity letter. T h e first week of sailing was spent fixing and sanding the boats and painting the ones that needed it. T h e weather for the most part during the fall was poor due to the fact that there was little or no wind. This made it quite hard to make an)' headway. T h e lirst meet that w e had was four days after school started, against the Schools Sailing Club of Andover, Mass. For this meet w e sailed on Highland Lake. T h e second Regatta was at Wakefield, Mass. and was sponsored by the Schools Sailing Club. Proctor was represented in the College Freshman and in the prep school division. W e lost in the prep school division 121 to 12 i, and w e tied for third in the college Freshman division; those w h o beat us in this division were Harvard and M . 1. T. O n October the 21st w e met with
St. Paul's School at Highland Lake. W e w o n by a score of 53 to 31. O u r final meet was with Exeter on our lake, but w e lost by a score of 61 to 58. In the spring the sailing team had nine scheduled meets but four of them were called off because of rain. T h efirstspring meet was on April 17th at the Interscholastics at Providence. Proctor did poorly,finishingninth out of eleven. T h e second meet was on the 24th of April against the Schools Sailing Club. W e placed fourth out of thirteen. A m o n g the top skippers of the season were C o m m o d o r e Bob Rohrer, Duncan Mclnnes, Tony Perot, Jim Graves, Verne Harris, and N e d Bradley. Manager Frank Coron did an excellent job keeping the Club in perfect running condition. A great deal of credit should be given to M r . Coolidge and M r . O w e n for their organizing ability and for the time and effort they put in transporting the boys to the various meets and practices.

This year an elite group of students gathered together in the earl}- fall to decide what play would be presented to the school this year. T h e play to be given was "The M a n W h o C a m e T o Dinner" raid was scheduled for the Friday of Winter Carnival. T h e actual work on the play didn't start until two weeks before Christmas vacation with the try-outs for all the parts. After several readings the cast was announced. Each player received a book in which he was to spend bis time until his part was polished. Rehearsal after tehearsal followed. As the time grew short, everyone put more into each line and near perfection was reached. Under the able direction of Mr. O w e n , the production looked as if it were straight off Broadway. T h e play opens in a private house in a small town in Ohio, where Sheridan Whiteside, critic, lecturer, wit, and radio operator.
(Joe Steuer) has injured his hip. H e is complete!) taking over the h o m e of the Stanleys beside suing them for SI 50,000, because of the injuries suffered on their doorstep. From then on the play is just a collection of characters; a cockroach-hunting professor (Harry Brigham), a famous English actor-lover (Bill Kane), Old Harriet Sedley (Lee Norris), the famous ax murderess w h o killed her parents some years before, the beautiful actress Lorraine Sheldon (Jayne Coolidge), not to mention a Hollywood nitwit actor-director called Bango (Larry Freiberger). It is just the wonderful confusing plot which makes this great
play. W e of the Players would like to thank Mr. O w e n , Mrs. Coolidge, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Boyden, and Mrs. Phelps for helping us have a good time doing the thing w e like to do.

to Westmount
Five years ago was the beginning of a wonderful friendship. Each year w e have traveled to Canada to compete in an international football g a m e and Westmount has come here for an annual ski meet. This competition has been the high-light of every year in sports. It is foremost in the minds of each graduating class. This year the football team went to Westmount to bring h o m e the trophy, and this they did. After the most thrilling g a m e of the year, the score ended 18 to 17 in favor of the green. This football g a m e is a very interesting one; one half is played with American rules, the other with Canadian rules. At times each team seems completely baffled as to the play going on. T h e Canadians play with 12 m e n and have 3 downs to m a k e 10 yards. T h e
American rules state 11 players and 4 downs to m a k e 10 yards. There are other minor differences which add interest to the game. As for skiing, both teams race under the international rules. Deep friendship is the feeling between the two schools. W h e n the football team goes north, the Westmounters go out of their way to make things pleasant for us. There are all kinds of parties for our benefit and w e are entertained in the homes for the weekend. W e live like kings during out stay in M o n treal. W e try to duplicate this kindness w h e n the Westmounters visit us for the annual ski meet. Hail to Westmount! M a y w e always be friends and sports rivals!

Andrew Jackson s Last Letter from His Mother
"Andrew, if I should not see you again, I wish you to remember and treasure up some things I have already said to you: In this world you will have to make your own way. T o do that you must have friends. Y o u can make friends by being honest, and you can keep them by being steadfast. You must keep in mind that friends worth having will in the long run expect as much from you as they give to you. T o forget an obligation or be ungrateful for a kindness is a base crime —
not
merely a fault or a sin but an actual crime. M e n guilty of it sooner or later must suffer the penalty. In personal conduct be always polite, but never obsequious. N o one will respect you more than you esteem yourself. Avoid quarrels as long as you can without yielding to imposition. But sustain your manhood always. Never bring a suit at law for assault and battery or for defamation. The law affords no remedy for such outrages that can satisfy the feelings of a true man. Never wound the feelings of others. Never brook wanton outrage upon your own feelings. If ever you have to vindicate your feelings or defend your honor, do it calmly. If angry atfirst,wait until your wrath cools before you proceed." —Compliments of Grateful Parents
