M A S O N B A R N A R D , JR. "Mase" Liberal Worcester, Mass. Entered September 1938 Bentley Tennis 4, Green Lantern Staff, Dance Committee 4, Member of the Green Team. Mason is the eternal optimist, doing much to keep our collective spirits high. H e also appears to have a striking number of lady friends who have been attracted by his charming manner. "Mase" is one of the leading scholars in the Liberal course despite his friendly feud with the Chemistry teacher, and it is known that he wields a tennis racquet with proficiency.

THEODORE CHURCH BATTEN "Lightnin" Liberal Caldwell, N. J. Entered September 1938 Football Squad 4, Hockey Squad 4, Tennis Squad 4, Cabin Club 4, Member of the Green Team. From the wilds of N e w Jersey came our diminutive friend, "Lightnin" who resides in Mary Lowell Stone House. As a practical joker and a sterling infirmary assistant, he upholds his dorm's reputation well.

[21]

CORNELIUS JACOB BLAAUW "Connie" College Grafton, N. H. Entered September 1937 Dartmouth Baccalaureate Soloist 3, Salutatorian 4, Member of the White Team. "Connie" is the most respected member of our class. His quiet manner, and straightforwardness are always welcome. W e have been more than glad to have him with us these years. H e has completed the four years' work in two, and is going to Dartmouth in the fall. There are few boys who would or could have done this.

H A R O L D BEVERLY CHASE, JR. "Hal" College Worcester, Mass. Entered September 1938 Wesleyan University Tennis 4, Green Lantern Staff, Dance Committee, Member of the Green Team. "Hal" is respected by all for his whole-heartedness and persistency with which he meets his every task. His work as Advertising Manager of the "Green Lantern" has been invaluable. Chemistry is Hal's forte as evidenced by the many hours spent in the lab. [22]

"Dick" is one of the few four year boys and has served Proctor faithfully during his stay. H e has shown us that hard work brings results on the athleticfieldas well as in the classroom. His reactionary tendencies draw him into many an argument, but he is never at loss to support his statements.

BLAKE FREDERICK C O L T "Blacky" College Great Barrington, Mass. Entered September 1935 Princeton Football 3, 4, Skiing 2, 3, 4, Baseball 2, 3, 4, Student Council 2, 3, 4, Cabin Club 2, 3, 4, Proctor Players 2, 3, 4, Proctor Press 3, 4, Debating 4, Green Lantern Staff, Outing Club 2, 3, 4, President Senior Class 4, Member of the Green Team. This most versatile boy,"Blacky," first graced Proctor's campus four years ago. Since that day in September 1935, Proctor has benefited greatly by his presence. H e was elected our class president almost unanimously, and we are proud to have such a good representative.

"Wally," as he is sometimes called, is perhaps the most individualistic member of the class. H e has proved his many abilities in various ways and is the last word in resourcefulness. His outstanding talent is oratory, a fact of which his debating opponents are well aware.

"Mike" Liberal Lowell, Mass. Entered September 1937 Nichols Junior College Football 3, 4, Hockey 3, 4, Baseball 3, 4, Student Council 4, Cabin Club 3, 4, Green Lantern Staff, Member of the Green Team. The metropolis of Lowell never lacks a booster when "Mike" is present. His good nature and sense of humor have made him a popular member of the student body. "Mike" is also an athlete of attainment, having been a varsity man in three sports.

H O W A R D KENNEDY FULLERTON "Floopy" Liberal Buffalo, N. Y. Entered September 1937 Hockey 3, 4, Student Council 3, 4, Green Lantern Staff, VicePresident Senior Class 4, Member of the Green Team. "Floopy" is a master b o a t builder, among other things, and has gone far under the tutelage of "Cap" Rounds. Mr. Dresser's famed bookkeeping course has at last found its master in the capable Mr. Fullerton, who adds accounts without batting an eyelash. H e will probably be auditing our accounts in a few years.

R O B E R T B U L L A R D JAYNES "BobCollege West Newton, Mass. Entered September 1938 Duke University Hockey 4, Tennis 4, Cabin Club 4, Green Lantern Staff, Member of the Green Team. Proctor Academy's greatest representative at Colby manages to find a little time off now and then to hold down number one position on the tennis team. "Bob" conscientiously w a d e s through all the "A" assignments in Chemistry, a testimony of his perseverance and hard work.

FRANCIS T H O M A S M A G O N I , JR. "Butch" College South Somerset, Mass. Entered September 1937 St. Lawrence Football 3, 4, Baseball 3, 4, Hockey Manager 4, Green Lantern Staff, Dance Committee 3, 4, Member of the White Team. "Butch" aspires to medical and football fame for which he has shown marked aptitudes at Proctor. From Mr. Magoni, we have learned a great deal about bakeries, girls, and Fall River's hidden mysteries, a liberal education in itself.

PHILIP B R A Y T O N MORSS "Phip" College Waban, Mass. Entered September 1936 St. Lawrence Football 3, 4, Captain 4, Hockey 3, 4, Baseball 2, 3, 4, Dance Committee 2, 3, Alumni Representative Senior Class 4, Cabin Club 2, 3, 4, Green Lantern Staff, Captain of the Green Team. "Phip" is Proctor's leading athlete and his slam bang play has helped bring us many victories. H e has developed the art of "headwaitering" almost to perfection. H e and Chase, upholding the student body's bridge reputation were beaten, but not disgraced, by the masters. [26]

G E O R G E SHEPARD PECK "Gidge" College Glen Ridge, N. J. Entered September 1937 William and Mary Hockey 3, 4, Captain 4, Baseball 3, 4, Student Council 4, Captain of the White Team. George, another N e w Jersey representative, performs creditably on the ice as is attested by his hockey captaincy. H e also plays first base on the baseball team and is an excellent student when pressed by necessity.

FRANK M O R T O N S H E R M A N , III "Turk" Liberal Dartmouth, Mass. Entered September 1936 Wentworth Hockey 3, 4, Baseball 2, 3, Dance Committee 3, 4, Cabin Club 2, 3, Member of the White Team. From "Turk" we hear that N e w Bedford is the greatest whaling city in the world. Sherman has a leaning towards "swing," and his room is constantlyfilledwith "jitter b-u g s" swaying to the strains of his pickup.

T H E

GRANVILLE H A V E N T R O W "Bud" Liberal Watertown, Mass. Entered September 1938 Football 4, Hockey 4, Baseball 4, Member of the White Team. "Bud's" laugh and Watertown accent singled him out the first day of school, although perhaps not to his advantage. H e is a three sport varsity m a n and, from loud indications, seems to hope to become a great saxophonist some day. Good luck!

W I L L I A M O L I V E R WISE, JR. "IF;//" Liberal St. Albans, Vt. Entered September 1934 Football Squad 3, Football 4, Hockey 4, Baseball Squad 4, Cabin Club 2, 3, Member of the White Team. Our Gannett House mailman is especially popular at 1, 4, and 7, but is sometimes berated for not bringing that certain letter. "Will" is the epitome of punctuality and is highly efficient in his various tasks. W e expect to see him on Wall Street before long.

Post Graduates J O H N B E E C H E R PERRY, II "Jack" College Wellesley, Mass. Entered September 1938 Nichols Junior College Football 4, Hockey 4, Baseball 4, Green Lantern Staff, Dance Committee 4, Member of the Green Team. "Jack" is fortunate in being gifted with an aptitude for cartooning, as may be seen in the year book. "Happy-go-lucky" is the best way to sum up Perry, who always has a wide grin and a cheerful word for everyone. Despite his size he proved to be a good football and hockey man.

JR"George" College Watertown, Mass. Entered September 1934 Rensselaer Skiing Squad 3, 4, Skiing 5, Manager of the Ski T e a m 3, Tennis Team 4, 5, Cabin Club, Organist, Member of the White Team. "George" is another one of the boys who has received all his secondary school education at Proctor. His main interest is radio work in which he has become expert. Proficiency in music and tennis are among his other abilities. [29]

T H E

ARTHUR HUBERT TURNER "Hugh" College, Hopedale, Mass. Entered September 1938 Football Manager 5, Proctor Press 5, Proctor Players 5, Member of the White Team. W e understand that "Hugh" has decided to take a "P. P. G." for more adequate college preparation. Turner has done well as an actor and has spent many weary hours stenciling the Proctor Press, a highly distasteful job. His efficiency has also been shown by his good work in English and Religious History.

Junior Class 'THE JUNIOR Class is the largest in the school and it would be hardly â€˘*â€˘ possible to write a general account of the activities of so large a group. Several of its members, because there was not room enough in Gannett House, lived in a special corridor in Cary House where they enjoyed junior privileges. T h e class is a well balanced group and has m a n y boys w h o should stand out as seniors.

With the exception of one, the Sophomores live in Cary House and looking forward to promotion to Gannett House in the Fall.

The Freshman Class THE Class of 1942 consists of five boys in the college course and one in the liberal. George Ladd, "Cliff" Evory, "Dickie" Day, and Dave Colt compose the college group with Walt Hidden representing the liberal. With the establishment of numerous activities for the younger boys this year, the class members thoroughly distinguished and enjoyed themselves. Six M a n Football, Midget Hockey, and skiing were the main activities in which the students participated, establishing a reputation for future Proctor teams to uphold. This group has worked diligently during itsfirstyear and are loyal Proctor boys. Provided that no unexpected mishap occurs, the entire class expects to return this fall.

Football PROCTOR ACADEMY'S 1938 football season ended with an evenly •*• balanced record of two victories and an equal number of losses. Several new team members fitted in well with the nucleus of letter men, and a hard playing, though not brilliant team represented the school. October 8—Proctor vs. Vermont Academy Jayvees. T h e team made the trip to Saxton's River to open the season against Vermont Academy's Second Team. T h e "Iron M e n " played with only two substitutions in the whole game. O n the defensive throughout the opening period, Proctor took the ball after a goal-line stand, began rolling, and finally scored on a touchdown pass from Mike Fox to Bob Engle. Vermont came right back, but the Green were equal to their charge and held the lead to win, 6-0.

[38]

1 9 3 9

October 27—Proctor vs. Brewster. Proctor's debut on h o m e territory was spoiled by a disappointing setback at the hands of our prep school rival number 2, Brewster Academy. T h e h o m e team's overconfidence spelled defeat as Brewster "went to town" to the tune of 7-0. All Proctor's drives petered out in scoring territory. This game would be best chalked u p to experience. November 5—Proctor vs. Traip Academy. Before an appreciative audience of feminine guests, the Green really turned on the heat and smothered Traip Academy under an 18-0 score. Touchdowns by B u d Trow, Phip Morss, and Blacky Colt featured the first three periods, and the Traip attack was kept well in hand except for two bad moments in the second and final quarters. However, heads up defensive play prevented enemy touchdowns at these times, and the team left the field enjoying the greatest margin of victory attained by a Proctor Football team in m a n y years. November 12—Proctor vs. Holderness School. In the highly heralded climax of the season, preceded by a football rally and m u c h prediction, Proctor bowed to an undefeated, untied, and unscored upon Holderness team, 13-0. After Stevens of the Blue had scored in the opening minutes, Proctor took c o m m a n d of the situation and marched d o w n thefieldonly to be stopped on the three-yard line by the halftime whistle. Taking up the offensive again after the interim, Proctorfinallylost possession and then stood off Holderness four times within our 5-yard line. T h e kickout was short and the visitors piled across again and converted the point. In the closing moments, the Green started another march which had reached the Holderness 5-yard line when the final horn sounded. Although a football season at Proctor without a victory over Holderness is rather disappointing, it can at least be said that we gave our rivals a good scare. Early in December, the annual football banquet was held in Laconia, and it was announced later that Phip Morss had been elected captain for 1938.

Six M a n Football FOR the first time in the history of Proctor Academy, six man football was organized for the benefit of those younger boys w h o were unable to enter varsity competition. Under the able direction of Coach Lyle Farrell, a schedule was arranged and a m a x i m u m weight of 120 pounds was set for all candidates. Three games were held with the team from Brewster Academy at Wolfeboro, N. H., resulting in two wins for Brewster and one for Proctor. T h efirstgame: Played at Wolfeboro, Score Brewster-20, Proctor-0. T h e hustling and plucky little Brewster boys were a little too m u c h for our endurance and ability. However, the opener proved of valuable experience and inspired in the Proctor boys a determination to " W i n or else" in the return game.

The second game: Played at Andover, Score Proctor-20, Brewster-6. With all playing heads up football, the determined Proctor team came out on top. Abbot Phillips' two spectacular runs proved to be the decisive blow. Fine blocking and defensive work by all team members, especially Evory and Merriam, also contributed towards the victory. Elberfeld rang up the other touchdown with D. Colt accounting for two conversions. The third game: Playecl at Wolfeboro, Score Brewster-12, Proctor-6. A close tussle ending with Proctor in possession of the ball on the opponent's 5-yard line. Elberfeld scored our lone touchdown. Superb second half blocking and defense work by Hidden and B. Turner fell just short of victory. Lineup: L. E., Merriam C , Evory R. E., Morrill, Hidden, B. Turner Q., Phillips, Hidden H., Elberfeld, B. Turner F. B., D. Colt

' ~ p H E Hockey Squad started off the season with one group of exâ€˘*â€˘ peiienced m e n and another of enthusiastic, but inexperienced candidates. They worked hard and cooperated with M r . Farrell and M r . Nichols, our indispensable coaches. T h e boys made a very good showing for the Green and White on the battle field, with four victories as against three losses. T h efirstline consisted of Brett Smithers, left wing; Captain George Peck, right wing; and "Phip" Morss, center. T h e defense was made up of "Johnny" Hunter and "Turk" Sherman, with Gordon Davidson in the strings. T h e second, but very able group was m a d e up of Woods, Fullerton, Jaynes, and T r o w as forwards; Fox, Perry, Wise, and Batten at the defense; and H o w e and Merriam at goal.

A brief review of the games is as follows: PROCTOR-4

NEW

HAMPTON J

V's-0

In spite of a small amount of practice Proctor started off the season by overwhelming the N e w Hampton team by a score of 4-0. "Smiley" Peck came through with thefirstgoal of the season and also initiated the penalty box. PROCTOR-1

BREWSTER-5

Night hockey comes to Proctor! The new lighting system was put into use as Proctor dropped itsfirstlosing bout to Brewster. PROCTOR-3 VERMONT J V's-4

In a heated overtime period Proctor again bowed to its opponent after a terrific struggle at top speed trying to tie the score again in the closing minutes. PROCTOR-3

VERMONT J

V's-0

A return game on the home rink proved fatal to the Vermont Squad as Proctor scored its second shutout of the year. PROCTOR-2 NORTHWOOD-13

Our annual game at Lake Placid was met with much enthusiasm from the boys and despite the large score they played a good hard game against an expert team. PROCTOR-7 NEW HAMPTON-2

Proctor again invaded the N e w Hampton ranks to win the return game 7-2. PROCTOR-2

HOLDERNESS-1

Coming from behind in the final frame, when Holderness had tallied in the last minutes of the second period, Proctor slipped in two goals to close the season with a good record.

Skiing "THE Winter Season of 1939 produced one of Proctor's strongest com•*• petitive ski teams. Good snow conditions provided excellent skiing on the new developments. For thefirsttime in many years Proctor extended invitations to outside schools for competitive meets. A n efficient coaching staff consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Burbank and Mr. Holland Dresser, and only through their combined efforts was it possible to turn out a well rounded team. F E B . 5, P R O C T O R

( 3 5 6 . 2 ) — N O R T H W O O D (400) away

A team of six, including Flint, Colt, Lee, Phillips, Cochran, and Kaufholz competed with the Northwood School at the famous Lake Placid resort in the weekend of Feb. 5. Proctor was best represented in downhill with Cochran and Colt taking first and fourth places respectively. Lee then captured second in jumping, Phillips second in [44]

slalom, and Kaufholz fifth in cross-country. The team totals were close but the better Northwood team won by a margin of 43.8 points. FEB. 8, PROCTOR (358)—HOLDERNESS (389) home

Although the Proctor team gathered more individual places in this meet, the team totals enabled Holderness to win. The surprise of the afternoon was "Red" Goodsell, a newcomer, who won the cross country. High scorer for Proctor was Cochran with Colt and Flint coming close second and third. This marked a new era of Proctor's skiing, our first home meet. FEB. 22, PROCTOR (292)-HOLDERNESS (278) away

The Proctor skiers at last succeeded in outpointing the rival Holderness team. Proctor's star of the afternoon was "Blacky" Colt who came through with two second places, assisted by "Tiny" Kaufholz who won the cross country with Cochran gathering the two thirds and Flint and Lee each earning a fourth place. FEB. 25, PROCTOR (344) NEW HAMPTON (381) GUSHING (392) LAWRENCE

(...) The quadrangular meet at N e w Hampton furnished some of the stiffest competition encountered during the season. "Tiny" Kaufholz easily beat out all other competitors to establish a new course record in cross country, Flint then proceeded to tie for third in the run while Colt took fifth. "Sandy" Lee won an easy third in the jumping, while Phillips placedfifthin downhill and Cochran sixth in slalom. MAR. 1, PROCTOR (300)—FRANKLIN (260) home

Proctor had an easy victory over Franklin High winning eleven out of twelve possible places. All events were held open to any member in school. First place in downhill was shared by Phillips and Cochran, Flint second, Colt and Smithers tying for fourth. In the slalom came Smithers, Colt, Flint, and Cochran respectively. Cross country honors went to Flint,first;Colt, third; and Kaufholz, fourth. M A R . 4, P R O C T O R

(385) home

The Proctor-New Hampton dual ski meet was the last one of the 1939 season. The more experienced N e w Hampton skiers won by a very narrow margin of eleven points. Kaufholz, Cochran, Colt, and Flint placed in that order in cross country while Lee wonfirstand Cochran fifth in the jumping. Lee again won fourth in slalom and Colt tied for fourth place in downhill.

After these showings, a favorable record seems highly possible. At the time of this writing Mike Fox and "Butch" Magoni are leading the team at batting with all the averages well up. Return games with Brewster and Holderness are scheduled.

Tennis Team '"TpHE Proctor tennis team of 1939 has been quite successful so far -*- and the players have shown that they are worthy of recognition. Through the courtesies of the Franklin Junior High School the boys have enjoyed the use of the excellent n e w Franklin courts for practice and matches.

Sailing S A I L I N G was offered as a spring activity this year. T h e two boats provided limited the group to six boys, w h o spent their afternoons learning knots and splices until the ice left Highland Lake, free for sailing. T w o days after the ice was out, the boys were sailing in .preparation for thefirstcompetitive races with the M . I. T . Freshmen, in which Proctor finished a close second. T h e big meet of the year was the Proctor-sponsored Interscholastic Dinghy Races on the Charles River, using the M . I. T . boats. Of the 38 schools entered in this largest schoolboy sailing event ever held, Proctor finished twelfth, and was thefirstN e w Hampshire prep school to finish. T h e Brown University Invitation Interscholastic Meet found Proctor second in a field of twelve schools, and only four points from first place. T h e boys did a fine piece of sailing and well deserved the praise that they drew from the spectators. T h e last racing of the year was the dual meet with Colby Junior College. Proctor w o n each of the five races, but the Colby girls promise to make it a more interesting contest next year. [50]

Student Council " T H E Student Council was elected early in October 1938 with the A agreement that one member was to come from Cary House. The members elected by the student body were: B L A K E F. C O L T '39 G E O R G E S. P E C K '39 M I T C H E L L H. F O X '39 H O W A R D K. F U L L E R T O N '39 A R N O L D E. R O G E R S '40

The council this year tried out a new system of giving each member equal authority, thus eliminating having a president and going as a group to see Mr. Gulick about pertinent matters brought up at meetings. The year has been a very successful one throughout, with the council settling many questions of importance to the students. [53]

Proctor Press RESUMING where they left off last year, the editors of the Proctor 'â€˘^ Press have continued to publish a monthly edition of the school paper. Several new members have been added to the staff and the prospects for upholding the best tradition of the paper seem excellent. "Blacky" Colt holds the chief editorship at present and he is well supplemented by a group of hard working associates including "Ken" Payne, "Ferd" Wilder, Arnold Rogers, " H u g h " Turner, Gordon Davidson, "Dave" Colt, George Richardson, and "Dick" Alton.

T h e Debating Society A T the first meeting of the Debating Society called by Mr. Farrell, â€˘**'Our coach, two veterans from last year's team, Kenneth Payne and Waldemar Flint responded. However, as the question was a very interesting one, the membership was swelled to include David Colt, Ferdinand Wilder, and Blake Colt. Because of lack of time, Kenneth Payne was obliged to drop out, so the teams shaped up with David Colt and Waldemar Flint on the negative, and Ferdinand Wilder and Blake Colt on the affirmative. T h e question this year is; Resolved: That the United States should establish an alliance with Great Britain. It is a very vital and important subject, and kept us all busy. T h e highlight of the season was a broadcast of an intramural debate over W F E A , Manchester, early in the Spring Term.

Proctor Players EARLY in October Mr. Farrell and Mrs. Dresser, our dramatic coaches, s u m m o n e d candidates for two fall plays, "Dress Reversal" and "Deadline." As the latter required more memory work and acting ability, the three parts were billed by experienced members of the group. "Dress Reversal" was an amusing takeoff on the subject suggested by its title, and m a d e a great hit when presented. T w o performances of each play were given, one for visitors and townspeople and another for the boys. T h e "Players" also produced "Wolves," a one act play before Spring vacation, and on M a y 4 presented "Dad" over the radio from "Station W F E A in Manchester.

The Cabin Club npHE veterans of last year formed a nucleus for a very promising group -*- of Cabin Club enthusiasts. During the fall, w e conducted m a n y worktrips or "feeds," as they were enticingly called, for the twofold purpose of initiating n e w members and improving the cabin and its environs. T h e major project was the proposed building of a fireplace for the cabin along with several other m u c h needed developments. T h e fireplace progressed as far as a pile of stones, but with the coming of the snows, interest waned. However, w e hope to continue this spring. At the annual meeting on October 2, 1938, Blake Colt was elected President, George Richardson, Secretary-Treasurer, W a l d e m a r Flint Head of the Maintenance Committee, and Walter Morrill, Head of the Membership Committee.

Radio Broadcasts

NOVEL department of extra-curricular activity was introduced

this Spring, as various groups presented three radio broadcasts over Station W F E A , Manchester. Experience of this kind is believed to be highly valuable as well as enjoyable for the boys. T h efirstprogram took place on March 17 w h e n "Ken" Payne and Waldemar Flint, staged an interview describing boat building work at Proctor.

Early in April the Debating team presented a full length debate on the question, "Resolved: That T h e United States Should Form an Alliance with Great Britain." O n M a y 4 T h e Proctor Players produced "Dad," a one act play which was such a success that w e were asked to present a weekly series of plays during the remainder of the Spring. Unfortunately this was impossible, but a more lengthy program is already being planned for next year which m a y include a current events forum in addition to broadcasts similar to the ones described.
