IN this volume of the Green Lantern, we have attempted to render in a permanent and attractive form the activities of our Class. It does not

pretend to be either a record of achievement or a compilation of facts. Such a book cannot hope to recapture those moments so precious to each

individual. Unpretentious and incomplete as it may be, it does, however, strive to preserve for the future those phases in which w e have participated as a group. If it can revivify those things which ought to be lasting, if it can keep perennially alive the really significant events, memorable associates, then no more is sought. It has fulfilled its purpose.

"Fo' Gooness Sake!"

Allen is the intellectual of the Class.

His widely-spread talents enable him

to participate in many campus activ

ities—he's a whiz on snow shoes.

His thoughts and his actions are con

trolled by his indomitable will,

which will undoubtedly make its

mark upon the world in whatever

field Allen chooses to apply himself.

"Jug-Head" has great ability as a

salesman. When he is not collecting

money to buy an outboard motor, he

is recuperating from a session behind

closed doors. His love for mechanics

made him significant in boating ac

tivities on the lake. His enthusiasm

and motor-mindedness have made

him a famous character in the Proc

"Fro" is the clown, acrobat and

his fertile imagination and helping

of such has been of advantage to the

"I don' believe it"

"Bud's" dominant and friendly per

good spirit and ability as an athlete

have made successful teams. Arnold

has achieved the rare balance of an

all-round student, and seems truly to

get a lot of fun out of life. "Gurt"

"Hunk" is one of the few four-year

boys and he has done justice to those

years. As an athlete and student he

has worked hard. Hunt has educated

those unfortunate individuals who

find themselves burdened with wait

ing on table, his occasional wrath at

the "window" has left its effect.

Proctor will miss this sincere and ver

him. Rounds is a good guide on

Maine lakes or in boat building. His

The Junior Class

THE Class of 1939 is composed of eight boys in the College Course and

two in the Liberal. The class is well represented in the various school

organizations and especially the athletic teams, having six varsity football

and baseball men, five hockey players and three skiiers. The class also ranks

well scholastically and is prominent in all school affairs and activities.

"Smiley" Peck is the class athlete and "tough guy," well liked by all. The

playboy division is well represented by "Jeems" Koestlin of Detroit and a

true son of the South, All Woods. Mike Fox supplies the laughs for us at the

right moments, while Waldemar Flint spouts his radical views and quotes

facts at the drop of the hat. The class has three stalwart sons of old N e w England in Dick Cochran, Will Wise and Blake Colt, who supply the much

needed conservative element in our activities. A recent addition to our class

has been another three letter man, "Phip" Morss, the mighty midget from

Newton, who has decided to remain at Proctor another year. Arnold Rogers

radiates the influence of metropolitan atmosphere, and last but not least we

have "Butch" Magoni, the story teller par excellence, always ready to give

Fall River a boost. C O L T '39

The Sophomore Class

THE Sophomore Class is large enough to be the balancing factor at Proc

tor. They are to become the Juniors and leaders at the school next year,

carrying on important traditions built this year. Because of their age they have probably learned more than the older boys

who knew just part of the great reorganization of Proctor. The greatest contribution of the Sophomore Class is the Proctor Press,

which was organized, written and published largely by the Sophomores. Prominent in the class are "Smiling Butch" Fullerton; Yachtsman

Paine, the debater; "Man-Mountain" Kaufholtz, comedian and scholar;

George Richardson, managing editor of the "News"; and "Ferd" Wilder, top

student. H E R B E R T '38

The Freshman Class T H E Freshman Class this year was quite small compared to the Senior

Class. "Red" Goodsell, "Doc" Gredler, "Randy" Mathewson, and "Con

nie" Blaauw comprised the college group, while "Sandy" Lee and "Walt"

Morrill were the only ones taking the Liberal course. In sports "Red" went out for baseball and was a handy man. "Randy,"

also tried for baseball. "Doc," "Walt," and "Sandy" were not in any of the major sports, but instead helped with the rest of the ski-trail crew in making

new trails and repairing old ones for use next winter. They did this under

the able direction of Mr. and Mrs. Burbank. "Connie," because he was a day

student, did not have the opportunity of going in for a sport.

All the freshmen except Blaauw were in Cary House and they will probably be there next year also. W e certainly have enjoyed our first year at

Proctor and each member of the class expects to return to the school next fall. G R E D L E R '41

Football THE football season at Proctor proved this year to be unusual. Under the

guidance of Mr. Farrell a football team was organized, the first time in

three years that Proctor Academy has had football material. Both Coach Far

rell and the team were disappointed in our inability to arrange a complete

season, but due to the late decision to organize a team the school was unable

to arrange the desired number of games. Nevertheless, the games played and

the boys who played in them have set a precedent for the following Proctor

teams to keep and build.

The members of the team are as follows: John MacDonald, our captain

and quarterback. "Mac" will be remembered for his excellent handling of

the team in its "tight spots."

Bud Gurtler, fullback. "Big Bud" and his crashing line plunges will al

ways be remembered.

Blake Colt, halfback. "Blacky" on the right of the fullback proved a

valuable offensive man.

[373


"Pete" Ray, halfback. "Pete" on the left made up the other half in the

position of a defense man.

Waldemar Flint, left-end. "Minnesota" was always down under a punt

due to his fleet feet.

Francis Hunt, left-tackle. "Squab" has left a definite impression on the

men opposing him.

Eben Church, left-guard. W e all have hopes for "Hank" next year for

this year he surprised us all with his unusual playing.

Richard Cochran, center. Dick was a boon to the team with his quick,

well-timed centers.

Humphrey Lee, right-guard. Sandy's opponents will always wonder just

what did make them fall—the answer is Sandy's knowledge of some Jiu-

jitsu.

Frank Magoni, right-tackle. Magoni just knocked them down and sat on

them—that was enough!

Max Johnston, right-end. Max was a valuable defense man.

George Peck, right-end. Due to a temporary ailment Peck couldn't play

much, but with his broken gait we have real hopes for him next year.

Charles Froelich, center. "Fro" stepped into a game one day with his

usual grin and really "went to town."

William Wise, right-guard. "Willie" learned the ropes this year, now we

expect some real action next year.

Hockey

AS part of the reorganization program of Proctor hockey was revived as a

J. V. major sport. W e feel that the sport itself is significant in a school-boy's

career. O n the ice each boy has an opportunity to show those attributes of

sportsmanship and courage. Hockey was introduced to Proctor's curriculum

this year because the students were anxious to participate in the inter-scho

lastic competition.

Last Fall under the direction of Mr. Fay and Mr. Rounds the difficult

task of providing an artificial lake was accomplished. Members of the squad

and those "interested in the squad spent many useful hours in building the

[393


dam and preparing the meadow so that we could have an adequate skating

rink.

Coach Farrell scheduled many games and secured an engagement at

Lake Placid. Naturally the boys were thrilled at the idea of going to that na

tionally known winter resort. W e feel it is a compliment that the hockey

team has been requested to participate in the events at Lake Placid next year.

Any comments about each individual member of the team would be in

significant in appraising their abilities.

The season closed with the genuine feeling of satisfaction so prevalent

at Proctor. This team is proud of their part in the reviving of Proctor tra

ditions.

The prospects for hext season are good. With the exception of Capt.

Francis Hunt, John MacDonald, star center, Charles Froelich, goal, and Bud

Gurtler, defense, the entire squad will be back at school. With a group of

seasoned players including Morss, Peck and Fox from this year's team, Coach

Farrell is confident of having a good team to represent the school in 1938—

1939. The team will miss the steadiness of Francis Hunt in the defense, and

the brilliant ice work of MacDonald in the first line, but Morss and Fox are

developing rapidly and can take over the positions vacated by the 1938 star

players.

A ten game schedule is being arranged and work is being done to im

prove the dam and to widen the rink, all looking forward to advancing the

good work of the 1937-1938 hockey squad.

Skiing

A L T H O U G H the Proctor Ski Team had scheduled six meets at the be-

1 \. ginning of the season, snow conditions permitted only three of them to

be held.

O n January 22nd Proctor participated in an interstate ski carnival as a

guest of N e w Hampton School. O n February 23rd a Proctor skier, H u m

phrey Lee, won fourth place in the "Downhill" against Holderness at Water-

ville Valley, and on February 26th, in a dual meet with N e w Hampton,

Proctor skiers distinguished themselves as follows:

The climax and peak of entertainment for Proctor skiers came March

ioth when the entire school journeyed to Bridgewater, where the day was

spent in intermural competition between the "Greens" and the "Whites."

The "Green" team was victorious, the final score in points 118-52.

Although conditions were not favorable for continued skiing during the

season, snow was received with added enthusiasm and skiers often resorted

to paradises upon more northerly slopes.

Baseball B A S E B A L L teams are considered traditional at Proctor Academy. Each

spring Coach Dresser conditions a group of boys who are willing and

anxious to participate in the friendly competition existing between Proctor

and several of the N e w Hampshire schools. Outdoor training for the 1938

baseball season started the second week in April with an encouraging show

ing of boys and an inspiring spirit of cooperation and sportsmanship. During

the full three weeks of conditioning prior to our first scheduled game, much

playing ability was discovered and baseball talent acquired. Diligent hours of

practice and training have produced favorable results—the candidates were

as a group inexperienced. W e of the team feel that this success is due to Mr.

Dresser's abilities as a baseball player and adviser. The Proctor Club of 1938

is proud to pass on to the Club of 1939 a tradition of skill and fair play.

Tennis FOR the first time in several years Mr. Farrell realized that Proctor con

tained some very promising tennis talent. The tennis courts were put

into condition by the squad and additional practice grounds were obtained

in Andover. Several meets were scheduled, the scores of which were Holderness 5-0, Brewster 4-1, Brewster 5-0. Sportsmanship is the prime factor of a

tennis team. Several members of this team have shown unfailing attributes of fair play. George Prouty, Quincy Emery, William MacLaurin, Ferdinand

Wilder and Thomas Findley participated in various meets and engaged in competition among themselves. Considering the accommodations at Proctor

five members on the tennis squad was ideal. Their skill was easy to develop

because of their number and the abilities of Coach Farrell, despite the fact that the results of the various matches were not encouraging.

The team disbanded this Spring with the feeling that they had acquired

skill. F I N D L E Y '38

Student Council

T H E election of the Student Council was held in October 1937 with the

provision that one member should be from .Cary House.

More than half the school was nominated for this office. The winning

candidates were: (Standing in picture) Harold T. Ray '38

John A. MacDonald, P.G.

(Seated) D. Dana McNeill 38

[50


The Council met and elected Dana McNeill, Chairman and Howard Fullerton, Clerk.

The Student Council has been well aware of the two methods by which it might please the students at Proctor. First, it might have sought changes which would have pleased those looking forward to a year of ease and leisure. Second, it might have sought action which would please those looking

back at substantial results with pride and satisfaction. W h e n Sunday morning study hall was introduced it undoubtedly was

unpopular to those thinking in terms of the present. W e now ask you to look

at it in terms of the past and ask yourself one question. Did it help you to accomplish the purpose for which you are a student at this school? There can be but one conscientiously formed answer.

W e thank Mr. Gulick and the faculty for their cooperation in consider

ing our suggestions for improvements. W e are convinced of having estab

lished the Student Council upon a firm working basis with the headmaster and the Staff.

From an administrative point of view the 1937-1938 Student Council has

been the most satisfactory in many years. It has carried out its function of

official contact between the student body and the faculty with a minimum of friction, and has had the best interests of both groups clearly in mind. The

Council has, therefore, been allowed to assume more responsibility than has

been the custom. The student body chose its Council wisely and it is hoped

that this example of intelligent leadership will be followed in the future. M C N E I L L '38

The Proctor Press WE again have a student newspaper which carries on the services of the

"Type" and the "Acumen." Richard Alton started the revival in Sep

tember, 1937, by approaching several masters with the idea. A house meeting

was called in Cary House to enlist student cooperation. Arnold Rogers was elected editor-in-chief and an editorial board consisting of Arnold E. Rogers, Richard H. Alton, George F. Richardson, Kenneth A. Payne, Brett Smithers

and Blake F. Colt was organized. After a month of work the first edition

was issued in October. Successive issues have appeared monthly. The papers were sold to the students at two cents a copy, and many par

ents bought year's subscriptions. The school purchased extra copies.

A remarkably high percentage of sophomores and juniors served on the

board, which gives the future of the paper a bright outlook. Few of the staff

will be lost through graduation and the nucleus of the board will remain for

next year.

% Debating Team

I N the middle of the Fall term 1937 Mr. Farrell issued a call for debating

candidates, which was answered by Allen Clark, Waldemar Flint and

M a x Johnston. The following week they were joined by Kenneth Payne. Of

these, Clark and Johnston had had previous debating experience and Flint had participated in oratorical contests. Payne rapidly developed as a keen de

bater and the team's prospect for the season looked good. The question: "Re

solved, that the several states should adopt a Unicameral system of legisla

tion" was selected and several practice debates were held, one in the Chapel

[54]

P R O C T O R A C A D E M Y • 1 9 3 8

Feb. 8th, and one before the Andover High School Feb. 17. Clark and Flint

took the affirmative and Johnston and Payne the negative. The season's

opener at Kimball Union Academy Feb. 25, our affirmative vs. their negative

was lost by a 2-1 decision. Our negative team, however, wiped out that de

feat by a 3-0 decision at Proctor on March 15th. Clark and Johnston pre

sented a no-decision contest at the.Friends-of-Proctor banquet, March 18.

O n April 1 we met the crack Laconia Squad here. Our affirmative

trimmed the opposing negative 2-1. There was no decision on the other de

bate, between our negative and their affirmative.

A challenge was sent to the N e w Hampshire freshmen, but no reply was received.

This ended what we consider a very successful season. W e are sorry to

lose Clark and Johnston, but we believe Flint and Payne will form the

nucleus of a still more successful team next year.

The success of our debating team pleased us the more because of the few

victories won by our athletic teams. If we cannot out-run or out-skate our

adversaries, it is a comfort to know that we can out-talk and out-think them. Particularly satisfying was the decisive victory over K. U. A.

Interscholastic debating contests are growing in popularity and we hope

to establish a league among the private schools in this region. If the past season is an indication of future success we may well expect Proctor to take its

place at the head of this activity.

Proctor Players

THE Proctor Players is an extra-curriculum activity which has always

been popular at school.

As this is a boys' boarding school, it is difficult to present plays with

women's parts. For that reason the club has been producing one-act, all-men

plays. They have made productions of Eugene O'Neill's one-act plays effec

tively. During the summer of 1936 Proctor had a troupe of players visiting sum

mer camps in N e w England. It was the first time, to our knowledge, that

any school had done this. The boys were received cordially at all of the camps

they visited and at the end of the summer they expressed the opinion that they had had a unique experience.

Under the able direction of Mr. Lyle Farrell this club will always produce enjoyable one-act plays. Our best wishes to the Proctor Players.

Cabin Club IN the Fall of 1934 Mr. Burbank organized the project of building a cabin.

At first finding a site for the cabin presented some difficulty, as the exact extent of the school property was unknown. However, with the cooperation

of Mr. Charles Stone and Mr. Fenton the boundaries were determined. A n ideal spot, on a slight hill, near a water supply, was located and in the spring

of 1935 construction was started. By that summer a few logs were in place.

In the fall of 1935 much remained to be done and the assistance of the boys in the shop course was enlisted under the direction of Mr. Fay.

In the Fall of 1936 Mr. Gulick expressed his approval of the cabin proj

ect and urged its speedy completion. It was organized as a regular recreational activity and was completed in the spring of 1937.

The work of building the cabin has been enjoyed by those who worked

on it, and it is hoped that by proper use and care the cabin itself may be enjoyed by those who benefit by our work.

A Senior's Comment

A NOTHER class passes through Proctor's portals and goes on to other ac-

x V. tivities. The Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-eight has revived

the tradition of year books. It has been a long and arduous task, in which

every member of the class has done his small bit.

This has been an unusual class. Each boy has an entirely different char

acter, with his o w n individual opinions, abilities and attributes. W e have

been a part of a tradition-building era. It is our sincere hope that this will not

be just another class and it is up to us as a group to retain the school spirit.

Undoubtedly no matter what the future fortunes of each of us will be, Proc

tor has proved a turning point in our lives.

In closing we say it is up to each one of you: A. R. C, J. S. C, Q. P. E.,
