R A N D O L P H L. H A R L O W , A. B. Andover, N. H. Harvard University, 1909; Submaster. Mr. Harlow is one of the best friends that we have had while we have been at Proctor, and he has commanded the respect of every one of us. The patience and interest that he shows in his classes is alone an inspiration to those who are studying under his tutelage.

Andover, N. H. Provincial Normal School, 1898; Lower School. One has only to attend one of the recitations in Mrs. Harlow's classroom to understand the admiration and love for her that is enjoyed by the pupils of the Lower School. She puts her whole soul into her work, and the results are most certainly remarkable.
E L A I N E C. E A S T M A N , A. B. Andover, N. H. Bates, 1913; Latin. Mrs. Eastman's greeting is always cheery, and her classes seem to exemplify that same spirit. She is well-liked by her pupils for the interesting w a y in which she teaches Latin and she is always ready to devote extra time to helping her pupils, when they need or desire it.

Manchester, N. H. New Hampshire University, 1929; English; Football; Ice Hockey and Baseball Coach. Lyle has certainly developed some very good athletic teams during his two years as coach. The football and ice hockey teams produced the goods in a justifiable manner under his direction. It is still the ambition of the boys in Gannett House to acquire his good nature and ability. W e shall certainly miss you, Lyle, but it will always be a great pleasure to come back and renew old relations.
W I L B U R M. FAT" Laconia, N. H. Wentworth Institute; Practical Arts. The "Proctor Forge" is still one of the outstanding features of the courses at Proctor, due to Wilbur's creative interest in the Practical Arts Department. M a n y very practical products have been turned out of the shop this year, but the feature of the year was "Joe Practical Arts." It certainly was a masterpiece!

Laconia, N . H. Plymouth Normal School, 1925; Middle School. Mrs. Fay has done some great work in the Middle School this year. Under her direction a paper known as "Junior Life" was introduced in the English Department. It was a great success and the pupils have taken a great interest in its make-up. She has had a great interest in the orchestra this year, and has helped make it a success with her ability as a violinist. W e shall certainly miss you, Mrs. Fay, and shall always welcome a renewal of acquaintances.

THE GREEN L A N T E R N J E R O M E T. LIGHT, A. B. Andover, N. H. Antioch, 1926; Science, Advanced Mathematics. Mr. Light has most certainly proved himself to be a very capable instructor during his two years at Proctor. The students in his classes have tried through the entire courses to find loop-holes in his statements, but have been unsuccessful. Such is the calibre of his teaching. His decision and experimental systems in educational science have been of great interest in his classes. W e shall miss you and your experiments next year, Jerry, but shall always deem it a pleasure to come back and resume our friendship.

Bristol, N. H. Simmons, 1916; Domestic Arts. Mrs. MacPhee has proven herself to be an able coach of dramatics this year. " T h e Trysting Place" was presented under her direction and was a great success. In the first part of the year, she had charge of the library, and put in a lot of good work there, only to have her efforts go up in the smoke of the school building. Under her supervision the study periods have improved greatly this year in respect to discipline and freedom from disturbance.
ALICE L. M U R D O C H , A. B. Newton Highlands, Mass. Radcliffe, 1909; Sorbonne, 1924; French and Spanish. Mrs. Murdoch's ability as a teacher is attested by the attention and interest shown by the members of her French and Spanish classes. W e , who have studied the languages under her instruction, deem it a real privilege to have studied under her. She is ever ready and happy to take us anywhere in her Chrysler or in her beach wagon, whether it be to go swimming, to the movies, home for a week-end, or a vacation.

ELEANOR R, YOUNG Boise, Idaho. New England Conservatory of Music; Organist; Instructor of Music. Miss Young had to leave us at the beginning of the Spring term due to the illness of her mother. We certainly were sorry to have her go, as we enjoyed the results of her musical accomplishments and always enjoyed her cheerful presence. W e hope to see you again, Miss Young, as we will always have a fond place in our hearts for you.
R O G E R W. CROUCH, B. H. Greenfield, Mass. Springfield, 1925; Middle School. Mr. Crouch is the ruling hand in the Middle School classroom. One has only to visit one of his classes to understand the respect that the boys have for him. H e has also been a great friend to the boys in the Upper School. Always being willing to carry the boys to Franklin or to Concord, regardless of the weather conditions. W e have certainly appreciated your generosity, Mr. Crouch, and shall look forward to seeing you on our visits to Proctor.
J O H N W. F E L L O W S , A. B. Newton, Mass. Harvard, 1930; History, Algebra, Basketball Coach. Mr. Fellows came to us directly from Harvard University.

A R T H U R R. S A D L E R Hopedale, Mass. "Pat"; " A r t " Entered 1929 College—Bowdoin Class President (4) ; Editor-in-Chief of Year Book (4) ; Associate Editor (3); Football (3) (4); Hockey (3) (4) ; Student Council (4) ; A. A. Fair Committee (3) (4); Proctor Players (3) (4); Secretary (4); Glee Club (3) 4 ) ; Double Quartet (3) (4); Varsity Club Minstrel Show (3); Varsity Club (4); Junior Marshall (3); Senior Dance and Play Committee (4). Pat's two years here have been eventful both for him and for us. He has entered whole-heartedly into all the activities of the school, and made his presence felt wherever he has been. R O B E R T H. BRIGGS Taunton, Mass. " B o b " ; "The Major" Entered 1928 College—Duke Class Vice-President (2) (4); Student Council (2) (3); Clerk (3); Varsity Club (4); Hockey (2) (3) (4); A. A. Fair Committee (2) (3) (41; Proctor Players (4); Orchestra (2) (4); Glee Club (2); Green Lantern Staff (3) (4); Junior Marshal (3); Senior Dance Committee (3) (4). The Major, he of the peculiar walk, has been our chief source of amusement for three years. His dry humor, cropping up in unexpected places, has afforded us lots of fun. Occasionally, he comes out of his lethargy, and plays hockey like a streak of chain lightning. W A R W I C K WICKS Indianapolis, Ind. " Wixie" Entered 1927 College—U. of Indiana Class Treasurer (4); Football (2) (3) (4); Varsity Club (3) (4); Glee Club (2) (3) (4); Double Quartet (3) (4); Orchestra (2) (3) (4); A. A. Fair Committe (2) (4); Varsity Club Minstrel Show (3); Proctor Players (3) (4); Cast "Station Y Y Y " (2); (4). Wixie is our exemplification of the "hale fellow, well met." His ready wit and effervescent humor have afforded us many good laughs. When he is on the footballfield,everything of his usual jollity vanishes, and he becomes a solid bulwark in the line. It was a rare occasion indeed when someone broke through. Wixie is always dressed up to the minute, and is forever startling the populace of Andover, with his dazzling color combinations. K A T H E R I N E M. M A C K E N Z I E Andover, N. H. "K" Entered 1927 Basketball (1) (2) (3); Hockey (2) (3) (4); Secretary of Class (4) ; Secretary of Athletic Council (3). Give Katherine a hockey stick or a basketball and watch her go. Nothing ever seems to trouble her. We've guessed the reason whj'. It's because she has so many friends. Come back and see us, Katherine.

J O H N J. B E R T A G N A Wilmot, N. H. ' 'Johnny" Entered 1927 College—Wentworth Football (1) (2) (3) (4). Johnny is one of our strong silent men. His very presence on the footballfield,smiling and calm, seemed to impart a sense of security. He has been the mainstay of our line for four years now. And how he hits 'em. W e defy anyone to hurt him. Nor is his prowess confined alone to the gridiron. John is our mathematical wizard, as well as a physicist of no mean ability. Above all, who can forget that famous Bertagna sniile, characteristic of his tribe. FREDERICK J. CARTER Andover, N. H. "Deke"; "Plug"; "Freddie" Entered 1927 Football (1) (2) (3) (4); Captain (4); Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4); Captain (4); Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4); Proctor Athletic Association President (3) (4); Green Lantern Staff (3). Deke is our star athlete. His nickname, "Plug", acquired during the football season is well deserved. As a punter, a line plunger, for a long run around end or in the capacity of captain, his name meant danger. For four years he has played varsity guard on the basketball team. On the baseball team he has held down first base for several years. Not only in athletics is he popular, his good nature alone would suffice tofixhim permanently in our memories.
DOROTHY M. CROUSE Wilmot Flat, N. H. "Dot" Entered 1927 International Amity Club (1) (2) (3) (4). Quiet, studious and a good friend to everyone, that's Dorothy. And why? Because she never takes sides with anyone. That's the way to win and keep friends. Dot. Good luck to you in whatever you attempt to do. RUSSELL E. DIMERY "Special" North Andover, Mass. "Rus"; " D i m " ; "Professor" Entered 1930 College—Tufts Football (5); Varsity Club (5); Cast "The Trysting Place" (5); Proctor Players (5). The Professor is our recognized authority on Physics. His word is law—either Boyle's Law, Lenz's Law, or Ohms Law. He's a quiet studious chap, but when he don's feminine clothing and make-up, Julian Eltinge has nothing on him. Li "The Trysting Place," he took the part of a middle-aged widow to perfection. In addition to these he played through the season as varsity end on the football team.

LUCIUS S. H A R T Wolfeboro, N. H. "Luke"; "Lutie" Entered 1930 Football (4). Lukefirstput in his appearance this year and was immediately seized upon to play football. His great bulk and brawn were put to good use in the line. Before he came to Proctor he went to school and played football at Brewster Academy, one of our arch enemies in sport. It was a great day for Luke when we played at Brewster. He went through the game like a madman, breaking up plays and blocking kicks with a vengeance. CLAYTON R. HURLBUT Putnam, Conn. '' Clayt"; " Sugar'' Entered 1929 College—M. I. T. Football (3) (4); Hockey (3) (4); Captain (4); Tennis (4) ; A. A. Fair Committee (3) ; Chairman (4) ; Varsity Club (3) (4). In spite of the slightness of his build, Clayt plays a mighty good game of football. He held down the quarterback's post during the 1930 football season, and was Captain of the hockey team. There is yet another claim to renown attached to Clayt's name. He receives an inch thick letter, daily from the light of his life, and on those rare occasions when he does miss one, he mopes about in the darkest gloom. WILLIAM A. KIRK, P. G. "Bill" Entered 1930 College—Tufts Bill has been with us only one year, and his quiet nature has kept him out of the limelight, but he enters into the philosophical discussions of the English 5 group with great fervor, and presents many sound ideas which show depth of thought. Good luck, Bill. We'll see you up with Kant and Spinoza yet.

ASHLEY H. KNOWLTON Wilmot Flat, N. H. "Ash" Entered 1927 Ashley comes to school in a new car every week. .We can'tfigureout, yet, where he got them all, but the fact is, he most assuredly does. His talent as a drawer of domestic animals will, someday, be recognized by the world of wit. Ashley's good humor and his smiling "Hoy thar" has brightened us up many times and we can't help admiring his earnestness and his propensity for hard work.

JESSIE i. MACKENZIE Andover, N. H. "J" Entered 1927 Basketball (1) (2) (3); Captain (3); Hockey (2) (3) (4); Student Council (3); Choir (1); Class Day Committee (4); International Amity (1) (2) (3) (4). Jessie has gained a place for herself in our highest esteem by her excellent combination of social and athletic ability. She has a smile for everyone no matter who they are or where they are from.
J O H N R. M I L E S Canton, N. Y. '' Johnny" Entered 1929 College—St. Lawrence Basketball (3) (4); Manager (4); Football (3); International Amity Club (3) (4); Vice-President (4); Proctor Players (3) (4); Secretary (3); A. A. Fair Committee (3); Cast "Captain Applejack" (3); " I n the Next R o o m " (4). Johnny has held down the lead in several of our dramatic productions, and has acquitted himself nobly. H e is the lesser half of the only couple remaining from the days of co-education. He's a real "Johnny on the Spot" whether it be to give Mandy Lee a bath, or to perform on the stage or the basketball floor.
I R E N E T. P O W E R S Potter Place, N. H. "Rena" Entered 1926 International Amity Club (1) (2) (3) (4). Although Irene is so quiet that w e would not know she was around, we would miss her if she were absent. W e can easily see her disposition when she just smiles back to cross teacher perhaps.
R O B E R T F. P R E N T I S S Burlington, Vt. "Bob" Entered 1931 College—U. of Vt. Basketball (4). Bob arrived in February, 1931, from Burlington and immediately joined the basketball squad. H e thought he had a large capacity for food, but after the sixth egg, four cups of coffee, four doughnuts, a steak and several glasses of water, he gave up.

Every fall he has starred on the gridiron. O n the basketball court, he was equally dangerous. " Q u i m " has been an able Chairman of the Student Council and none of us will forget his violin solos in church and in chapel. H e is also our foremost "leading m a n " . ELLEN M. RAYNO Wilmot Flat, N. H. Entered 1927 International Amity Club (1) (2) (3) (4); Hockey (4); Dance Committee (1 (2) (4); Basketball (1) (3); Class Vice-President (1); Class Will (4). If you want a cheery word or smile, go to Ellen. If you want some help or advice, go to Ellen. It doesn't seem as though she had any time left for studies after doing all she is asked to do, which she does with a smile. She has won her way to our hearts by her good disposition and winning smile. I. HAZEL RICHARDSON Salisbury, N . H. Entered 1927 International Amity Club (1) (2) (3) (4); Hockey Manager (3) ; Choir (2). Hazel is one of those quiet girls who minds her own business and attends to studying. W e are glad that she is going to graduate witli us in spite of her absence during the Winter term. HUGH W. SANBORN Salisbury, N. H. '' Hughy'' Entered 1927 Baseball (4). Hughy is a debater par excellence. His thunderous tones, ringing through the chapel, in the heat of debate, are memorable beyond measure. H e is also known for his sartorial perfection. W h a t a furore those spats created! Hugh's scholastic record has been consistently high during his four years here.

H E N R Y R. S A W Y E R North Wilmot, N. H. Entered 1927 College窶年. H. U. Football (1) (2) (3) (4); Basketball (3) (4); Class History (4). Henry is certainly there with the goods when it comes to playing football. H e played a sterling game at center this year, being one of the mainstays of the line. Henry is also a very good elocutionist. A debate with Henry participating is bound to be of interest.
M U R R A Y E. S M I T H East Andover, N. H. Entered 1927 Baseball Manager (2); Baseball (4). Murray Smith is a dapper young individual, who has been in school for four years. His particular passion seems to be in driving cars, although the avidity with which he devours Spanish is scarcely less. His athletic interests seem to be confined to baseball but he goes after that with enthusiasm.
OCTAVIA J. S T E A R N S Wilmot Flat, N. H. 1 ' Tavy'' Entered 1927 Basketball (2) (3); Hockey (2) (3) (4); International Amity Club (1) (2) (3) (4); Class Day Parts Committee. Studious and busy, that's Oetavia. But she's never too busy but what she has a pleasant word and smile for everyone. Perhaps she is better known as " T a v y " . She makes a good pal or friend for anyone. The best part of it is, that she is a good friend to everyone.
E R N E S T E. T O W N E New London, N. H. "Towney" Entered 1929 Football (4); Basketball (3) (4); Baseball (3); Class Secretary-Treasurer (3). Towney, one of the N e w London boys, has made himself very popular during his two years here. Not that he has ever tiled to gain popularity, but personality and good qualities are bound to come out, in spite of one's natural reticence. H e is an accomplished athlete, playing in the backfield on the football team, forward on the basketball team and second base on the baseball team. Besides this, he has been consistently near the top of the Honor Roll for two years.

Fair Committee (3) (4); Glee Club (3); Proctor Players (3) (4); Hockey (4); Manager (4); Green Lantern Staff (4) ; Varsity Club (4) ; Varsity Club Minstrel Show (3); Cast "The Trysting Place". Tommy, with his golden locks and his wide grin made a place in our hearts the moment we saw him. His renown as a magician, soon established, is second only to his name as a lady-killer. That he has his serious side, as well, would be soon discovered by listening to one of his scientific or philosophical arguments, or glancing at one of his radio sets. BENJAMIN F.

Benjy has played tackle on the football team for two years, and, believe you us, he was bad news. Unless he got his feet snarled up with the ball, he took out his man, two men on each side of him and everyone within a radius of twenty feet, felt the breeze. When he checked 'em in hockey they stayed checked. Ben is a l>ig man at Colby too. In fact he's a big man wherever he goes. LELAND E. WELCH New London, N. H. Entered 1930 Leland is one of these quiet, diminutive young chaps. He doesn't usually say a great deal, but you can figure that when he does it's worth hearing. When he is walking across the campus you can hardly tell from a distance whether he is carrying a bag or a trunk. It can't be that those books all belong to you, Leland! Here's wishing you good luck and success for the future, Leland!

W e in the Middle School have been busy this year in the Manual Training work. W e have been making model airplanes, boats, miniature golf sets and many other things. W e have been having quite a bit of music this year also. Every Friday we listen to the radio and hear Walter Damrosh and then we take tests on the program afterward. This is very good practice in learning about the different instruments.

The Mandolin Club lias been getting along very well considering that we started it recently. W e also have singing every clay and have sung several times in the church choir. W e have sung in the music program in the chapel, too. W e found the morning hours too short so n o w w e have an afternoon class added. In this period the Eighth Grade has History and the Seventh Grade has additional Arithmetic. That period lasts forty minutes and in the remaining twenty minutes, optional French is given. In this French class there are about eighteen pupils. In arithmetic the eighth grade pupils go to Gannett House to Mr. Harlow. W e used to go to the School Building before thefire,but n o w w e meet in the Physics laboratory. The students of the Middle School have shown very sincere cooperation. Never really in the history of the Junior School has there been such a unified spirit. The attitude has changed completely. W e have a new school room this year which has helped us tremendously to change the spirit. The Language or G r a m m a r this year has been done very thoroughly. The Seventh and Eighth Grades have been doing a block book which gives all parts of speech, all parts of the sentences. In English w c have the writing of stories. At least one story a week is required. In English w e have also a very important factor. It is the School Paper by n a m e "Junior Life". This year the paper was a great success. W e m a d e linoleum block prints for the covers. If the stories that are written each week are good enough they are put into the paper. In sports the .Middle School has a recess every day. W c go down to the gymnasium if the weather is bad and have organized games. If the weather is fair we go out doors and play baseball or whatever sport the season brings.

The pupils of the Lower School have had a pleasant, profitable year. In most subjects the majority of them had completed the year's work at the end of the winter term, leaving the last term for review. Our work in Geography and History has the understanding and sympathetic knowledge of the peoples of other nations as its principle aim. This is accomplished through story, song, personal contact where possible, reading of reference books, as well as the study of maps, geographies and histories. Following the study last year of Japan, Holland and France in this way, w e have taken up our neighbor, Mexico, this year. Great interest was shown, fine collection of articles and pictures from there made, a number of songs learned and stories read. All were delighted to have a visit from a youn째woman who had spent nine years in Mexico and who could tell many inter-

esting things about the country as well as answer m a n y questions asked her. A friendly feeling towards Mexico has certainly been established. W e are n o w studying the Colonial Period of our o w n country, having previously studied the Aboriginal Period and the Period of Discovery. Again m u c h interest is shown. The walls of our school room are covered with colonial pictures and posters, m a n y m a d e by the pupils themselves. Interesting books of that period are on the tables and read by the pupils when time allows. This study will be closed by a cantata, " Y e Little Old Folks' Concert." A happy h o m e atmosphere prevails, the pupils helping each other in the work as well as conduct. The school is " o u r s " and can be carried on for a time without the teacher if necessary. The spirit of helpfulness is stronger than that of rivalry. Because of the varied program of music, practical arts, dramatics, dancing, French and athletics as well as the c o m m o n school subjects, each pupil has a chance to work where he is strong, thus giving him confidence for the work that is difficult for him. Good progress has been m a d e in music, which consists of rhythmic dancing, orchestra, ear training, singing and music appreciation. In athletics the ability to be a good loser has been well cultivated. The work in practical arts also has made good progress.

This game, as usual, was a hard one. K. U. A. had a heavier and more experienced team. However, the Proctor team worked well together. The final score was K. IT. A. 19, Proctor 0. PROCTOR VS. PLYMOUTH

Our good friend, Coach Beck, brought his "boys" down to play us. The game started off with a bang. Don Quimby, true to form, intercepted a pass and scored for Proctor. The rest of the quarter was uneventful. Then Holderness came back too strong for us and scored several times in the remainder of the game. Nevertheless, Proctor was the only team which was able to score against Holderness this year. W e lost " M a u d " Mueller due to injury. The score was Proctor 6, Holderness 33. PROCTOR VS. BREWSTER

Hockey
W h e n Coach Farrell called out the hockey squad this year several candidates were on hand to uphold the reputation of Proctor. In addition much new material reported so a good team was put on the ice. The team was handicapped by much snow during the season. With the willing aid of some of the boys that were not out for hockey the team was able to keep the ice clean so that daily practice was held. Weather conditions prevented playing ourfinalgames with Holderness and Tilton. Thefirstteam was soon whipped into shape, consisting of the following: Captain, Hurlbut; Chase, Briggs, Parker, Tyler, Sadler. PROCTOR 0 — N E W

Ourfirstgame was with N e w Hampton, which resulted in a scoreless tie. A very slow game was played due to the poor ice. Neither goalies had a great deal of work to do as it was difficult to make shots owing to the light coat of snow that was on the ice. Hurlbut made several solo dashes up the ice toward the close of the game only to lose the puck in the soft snow when he neared the cage. STEARNS 11—PROCTOR

In the last quarter Hurlbut on one of his solo dashes up the ice shot the only Proctor score of the game. PROCTOR 7—K. IT. A. 1
Proctor, in itsfirsthome contest, easily defeated K. II. A. Hurlbut and Briggs were the stars of this game, the former scoring four goals, the latter two, while Paine scored thefinalgoal. Cockran, center ice man for K. U. A., put a shot past Sadler in the closing minutes of the game, which accounted for K. U. A.'s only score. STEARNS 7—PROCTOR 1
Stearns took us into camp once more in the return game at Andover. Sherwood was again the star of the game, gatheringfivegoals. Atwood and Kinney scored the other goals for Stearns. Hurlbut scored the lone Proctor goal. P R O C T O R 4 — K . IT. A. 0
Our next game away from home was played at K. IT. A.'s winter carnival at Meridan during a snow storm which slowed the game up considerably. Proctor was able, however, to put four goals past Abbot, the K. U. A. goalie. Parker was the star of this game, scoring two unassisted goals. Briggs and Paine scored the remaining goals. NEW

What proved to be thefinaland most exciting game of the season was the game with N e w Hampton on our rink. At the close of the third period the teams were deadlocked, both scoring two goals during the required minutes of play. At the close of thefirstten minute overtime period, the teams were still at a 2-2 deadlock. In the middle of the second overtime period, N e w Hampton scored two goals. Hurlbut, Briggs and Chase in combination took the puck in the final face-off, and Hurlbut taking a pass from Briggs scored the third Proctor goal. Briggs scored the other two goals for Proctor in the early part of the game. Proctor withfivemen up the ice in thefinalminutes of play tried valiantly to tie the score, but was unsuccessful.

D u e to lack of interest and material this year, an organized baseball team was not formed. Intermural games have been played 'between the different classes, and m a n y of the boys w h o did not feel themselves capable of making the varsity team have had an opportunity to engage in the sport and enjoy themselves. Arrangements were made to select a team of the best players in the intermural games to play one or two games with outside schools, but other than that there was no interscholastic competition this year.

The Student Council
The Student Council's part in the school life, this year, has become increasingly more prominent. It has controlled and directed m a n y of the school's activities. It has been active in arranging and promoting the social events of the year. A joint winter carnival was introduced this year, for thefirsttime, with Kimball Union Academy, through the efforts of the Student Council. The Editor-in-Chief and the Business Manager, in co-operation with the Council, appointed the editorial staff for the Green Lantern. The Chairman of the A. A. Fair Committee was chosen by the Student Council, and with his help, the remainder of the Committee was selected, and the Fair brought to a successful conclusion. The Council has, at all times, endeavored to act as the voice of the student body, in all matters pertaining to the school life. The officers, this year, have been: Donald F. Quimby, Chairman, and Frederick B. Tolles, Clerk. The representatives of the four classes are: Donald F. Quimby and Arthur R. Sadler, for the Seniors; William Kidder and Frederick B. Tolles for the Junior Class; R a y m o n d Hull and William Miller, Jr., for the Sophomores, and Robert Sawyer, for the Freshmen.

The Glee Club The Glee Club has made several public appearances this year, and has had a good reception wherever it has gone. Early in the school year, the Glee Club was asked to sing at a special service at the Unitarian Church in Laconia. The second public appearance was on January 22nd at Franklin, at which time two most talented singers. Miss Irma Watson and Mr. Howard Harrington, presented a program of delightful songs in appropriate costumes. The Glee Club sang two numbers during the evening. The next performance was in West Newton on March 27th, when the school presented two one-act plays for the benefit of the Building Fund. Between the two plays, the Glee Club sang three numbers which were enthusiastically received. Thefinalappearance of the Glee Club was at Commencement. The boys owe much to the help and interest of Miss Young, and later, Mr. Hazard. The success of the Glee Club is clue, primarily, to their efforts. Although probably no great singers have been developed, yet the year has been extremely profitable for the musical experience gained, and for the sheer enjoyment of singing together. The Glee Club members this year have been: First Tenors, Warwick Wicks, Sherman Glass, Franklin Ruege and Richard Parker; Second Tenors, Jack Ruege, Alder Porter-Shirley, Phil Parker and Mr. Fellows; Baritones, Arthur Sadler, William Kidder, Caleb Mueller and Frederick Tolles; and Basses, Mr. Farrell, Donald Quimby and Russell Dimery.
Orchestra The orchestra has made two public appearances this year. Its first performance was in Franklin on January 22nd. In conjunction with the Glee Club it assisted at a concert by Mr. Howard Harrington and Miss. Irma Watson. The orchestra again played at the time of the Senior Play. Although the public appearances have been few, a real satisfaction has been derived from the pleasure and knowledge of music which the rehearsals have afforded. The personnel of the orchestra is: Violins: Mrs. Fay, Donald F. Quimby, Franklin R. Ruege. Trumpets: Amos E. Johnson, Henry Gibson. Saxophones: Robert L. Cochran, Frederick B. Tolles. Trombone: Robert II. Briggs. Drums: Warwick Wicks.

A Glimpse of The Future W H I R R ! W H I R R - R - R R ! A terrific grinding and clashing of gears caused several passengers in the aeroplane to start nervously. A few women screamed hysterically. Wicks was winding his watch ! Tt was a sunny day in the year 1955 A. F. (After Flivvers). Wicks and T were en route to Andover. W e had made our fortunes in N e w York by taking the holes out of doughnuts, cutting them up, and shipping them to a large wholesale concern in Dingflowee, Kansas. Because we had been informed that Proctor was having an alumni reunion we determined to visit Andover, and as the monkey once remarked to a banana tree, thereby hangs a tale. As soon as our feet touched terra firma we rushed to a telephone booth and called up the Adams Taxi Company and demanded a cab. An hour later a taxi arrived, driven by Dick Parker, who was assisted by Jim Knowlton, a back seat driver who had been promoted to the front. "Drive us to some inn or hotel," I shouted. "There is the Soakalot Hotel and the All Inn," replied Parker. After flipping a coin, we directed him to take us to the Soakalot. W e surprised the hotel clerk, Margaret Adams, by hiring a suite of rooms on the forty-ninth story. "But," warned Manager Stanley, "you can't leave until you have paid your bill." "Fine, we'll make this our permanent residence," said Wicks, much to the amusement of Stella Sargent who was reading Shiek Snapshots. After instructing porter Bertagna to take up our baggage, I suggested that a bite to eat would not offend the stomach. Wicks agreed and we entered Harding's Hash House. "Gile's musical soup is a specialty today," announced the cashier, "it's the best tasting soup you ever heard." "It sounds so," I replied. Motioning to a waiter, we sat down. "Hey, 1 don't like all these flies around here," said Wicks to Freddie Carter, the grand bouncer. "Point out the ones you don't like, and I'll chase them away," said Freddie obligingly. Attracted by a loud crunching noise I turned to see Jack Ruege rolling peas off his vest. "Say," whispered Wicks, "that blonde over there certainly is the gnat's eyebrow. By the way, were you ever electrocuted?" he added, peering at the Mayor of Potter Place. " N a w , " returned Kirk, "the jury disagreed." As this was more than I could stand. I sat down. Glancing around the room I noted Professor Dimery who had recently won recognition through his book, " H o w to cure Lockjaw with Skeleton

Keys." Sitting beside him was Joe Johnson complaining that his eye teeth were partially blind and he could hardly see to eat. At this moment much disturbance was caused by Laundrvman Tucker who drove up in a truck, took off his clothes and entered the restaurant. Waiter Whittemore brought our order, and I tipped him with a Canadian dime. Sensing something unusual, I turned to behold none other than Luke Hart dilly dallying with a wedge of apple pie. H e seemed rather worried because his rich relatives were so healthy. "However," he said, "I expect tofillm y uncle's shoes some day even if he does wear twelves." Crash! Bang! Stuart Rogers began to play the piano. " W h a t do you think of his execution?" asked a bystander. "That would be an excellent idea," cried Wicks and I simultaneously. After the disturbance aroused by this statement had quieted down, I walked over to talk with "Kike" Burnham, the sunny faced youth behind the counter. Although he was very busy, he had a little time to converse with me. " G i m m e an order of pea soup," cried Murray Smith climbing onto a stool. "One .splash of split peas," shouted Kike. " A couple of sinkers and a cup of coffee without cream," said a gent next to Murray. " T w o submarines and a mug of murk—no cow!" bawled Kike. "I ain't seen you guys for a long while," he went on addressing me, "Where have you been keeping" " A n order of ham an' eggs," interrupted Murray. "Roost two on a slice of squeal", shouted Kike into the tube. "Beefstew and a cup of coffee for me," said a new arrival. "Bossy in a bowl—boiled leaves on the side," sang Burnham. Then to me, "I thought you had left town because" "Where's m y eggs on toast?" complained another customer. "Rush the biddies on the raft," yelped Kike. "Say if you ever o'0 to Crankshaft, Indiana, look up m y Uncle Jake, will you?" I slid off the stool I had been occupying as I saw Wicks was through. "I want a howl of tomato soup," began Ben Tyler, who grabbed m y stool, "a plate of beans, bread, butter, a piece of apple pie and a glass of water." I figured that the translation of this order into lunch lingo would be well worth listening to. Kike seemed puzzled, but only for an instant; then he shouted into the tube as follows— "One splash of red noise, platter of Saturday nights, dough well done with cow to cover, Eve with the lid on, and a chaser of Adam's ale." " A dish of green peas," cried Ben. Kike waved "goodbye" before lie yelled, " A thousand on a plate." On reaching the sidewalk, we ran into "Sherm" Glass, salesman for the Stickmore Glue Company. H e seemed rather stuck up, and I even thought

he was going to paste us. However, he walked off leaving us glued to the spot. Suddenly Wicks rushed madly down the street trying to catch his breath. Having sent a shout of encouragement after him, I entered the Salvation A r m y Hall to find Johnnie Miles giving a lecture on how to rescue a person from drowning. " A man's wife falls into the river," cried Johnnie: "and naturally he rushes to the bank" "To collect the life insurance!" cried Octavia Stearns and Hazel Richardson in unison from the back row. W e managed to escape from the hands of this fanatic and reach the sidewalk safely. Katherine and Jessie MacKenzie, the two queens, walked by making Wicks and me feel like a mere two spot. Suddenly I was blinded by the glare of a pole that had almost as many stripes and colors as Tolles on a Sunday afternoon. Over the pole hung a sign "Paine's Barber Shop". "Let's go in and have the tapestry trimmed," I suggested. Wicks agreed. W e were surprised to find Porter-Shirley in the shop ahead of us. "Shave, twenty cents; hair cut, fifty cents," shouted Barber Paine. "Will you shave m y head for twenty cents?" asked Shirley with the fond hope of saving thirty cents. Paine flew into such a passion at this remark that he had to be carried out by a fellow who was waiting there to collect ears for an iron ear infirmary. I took m y place in Barber Hull's chair. He cut me twice and then started to saw desperately at m y left ear. "Hey, what's the idea?" I yelped indignantly. "I'm shaving at cut rates," he replied. The manicure girl was none other than Dorothy Crouse. "I have held some wonderful hands," she murmured. "liar! liar! You must be a good poker player." Whereupon she seized a gun lying by the cash register. "Don'tfire;the gun isn't loaded," cried Paine. However I left with half m y face shaved and believe me that was a close shave. Wicks and I retraced our steps to the hotel and entered the huge diningroom screened by itching palm trees and whiffle trees, with jail birds twittering in the branches. After a hearty meal we sauntered to the corner and got on a street car. Sitting in front of us was Dana Thompson, the grand exhausted ruler of the Elks, whispering words of endearment to Irene Powers, who was going to the dye house to get some color for her new novel. W e arrived at Squash Auditorium only a few minutes late as it was "Be Kind to Animals" Week and Motorman Welch did not wish to pass the snail on the track. As we entered, T heard a sound not unlike that of a man wearing rubber boots, walking through a custard pie. Don Quimby, with enough hair on his head to make a mattress, was tuning up his orchestra. The dancing had not yet started so I wandered around the hallfindingto m y disgust that the only unoccupied bench was occupied by Misses Andrews and Rayno.

"Don't you think m y moustache is 'becoming?" said Quimby to Martha Crewe. "It may be coming but it hasn't arrived yet," remarked "Pinky" Hall who was adding a scent to a dollar by putting perfume on it. Caleb Mueller sneaked up behind me. " D o you know I have charge of the State hospital?" he asked. " D e w tell!" said I. "Yes, and almost everyone there is crazy about me. Visit me sometime, there's always room for one more!" he added significantly. Just then Clayt Hurlbut walked by with Lydia Woodward giving m e such a dirty look that I had to leave to wash m y face. Infiveminutes I returned and got revenge by giving him a cold look whereupon he contracted pneumonia. "Aren't you going to dance?" asked Detective Thompson, famed for running down his heels. "Well, I'm a little stiff," I explained. " Y o u are not," declared Dudley, "you're a big stiff." Refreshments were next served while "Pat" Sadler and " L u k e " Hart harmonized on two songs entitled, "I Like to Eat Soup with a Hatpin" and "Moonlight and Molasses." A n hour later, on reaching the sidewalk, we discovered Sadler in a barrel marked, "Rubbish Only." He had been done up by a trio of ruffians and swallowed his gold tooth together with the core of his Adam's Apple. Very early in the morning we crawled into our rooms. I heard the two house detectives talking in the corridor. "Shh-hdi! I hear a noise!" said one. "Perhaps it is the clock striking." "Nay, 'tis only the bed ticking," replied the other. "No, it sounds like the bark of a tree, probably the wild prune!" answered the first. Wicks and Ifloppedinto bed simultaneously and were rendered unconscious for aboutfivehours. Suddenly, bellhop George Raymond rushed into the room. Wicks cast an angry glance and also a shoe in his direction. George grabbed the shoe thinking it was a tip, and Wicks had to chase him down the corridor to buy it back. Probably Georgefiguredhe would get the other shoe the next morning. A week later authorities forced us to leave Andover because a laughing hyena in the zoo died laughing at us! W e enjoyed ourselves so much during our short stay that—as a fellow once remarked to his wife, who discovered a scented note in his pocket, "I'd like to tell you about it, but I haven't got time enough!" It is needless to say that when we left via the Blackwater River in a stone boat once owned by Harley Hopkins, we had only the best of wishes for our good old chums and former classmates of Proctor. M a y their can openers never fail them, may their ears be their outstanding features, and may they always enjoy life and liberty with health and happiness!!
