MASON BARNARD, 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. He 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 New 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]

HAROLD 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.

L A N T E R N

CORNELIUS JACOB BLAAUW "Connie"

College Grafton, N. H. Entered September 1937

Dartmouth Baccalaureate Soloist 3, Saluta-torian 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. He 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.

[22]


RICHARD BELL COCHRAN "Dick"

College Andover, N. H Entered September 1935

' New Hampshire University

Football 3, 4, Baseball 2, 3, 4, Skiing 2, 3, 4, Captain 4, Cabin Club 2, 3, 4, Outing Club 4, Member of the White Team.

"Dick" is one of the few four year boys and has served Proctor faithfully during his stay. He has shown us that hard work brings results on the athletic field as 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 COLT "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. He was elected our class president almost unanimously, and we are proud to have such a good representative.

[23]


KNUTE W A L D E M A R FLINT "Swede"

College Underwood, Minn. Entered September 1937

Bates

Football 3, 4, Baseball 3, Skiing 4, Cabin Club 3, 4, Proctor Players 3, 4, Dance Committee 4, Outing Club 4, Debating 3, 4, Green Lantern Staff, Secretary-Treasurer Senior Class 4, Member of the White Team.

"Wally," as he is sometimes called, is perhaps the most individualistic member of the class. He 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.

MITCHELL HENRY FOX "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.

[24]

P R O C T O R A C A D E M Y . 1 9 3 9

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, Vice-President Senior Class 4, Member of the Green Team.

"Floopy" is a master boat 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. He will probably be auditing our accounts in a few years.

ROBERT BULLARD JAYNES "Bob-

College 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.

[25]


FRANCIS THOMAS MAGONI, 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 BRAYTON 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. He has developed the art of "headwaitering" almost to perfection. He and Chase, upholding the student body's bridge reputation were beaten, but not disgraced, by the masters.

[26]

P R O C T O R A C A D E M Y . 1 9 3 9

GEORGE 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 New Jersey representative, performs creditably on the ice as is attested by his hockey captaincy. He also plays first base on the baseball team and is an excellent student when pressed by necessity.

FRANK M O R T O N SHERMAN, 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 New Bedford is the greatest whaling city in the world. Sherman has a leaning towards "swing," and his room is constantly filled with "jitter b-u g s" swaying to the strains of his pickup.

[27]


GRANVILLE HAVEN 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. He is a three sport varsity man and, from loud indications, seems to hope to become a great saxophonist some day. Good luck!

WILLIAM OLIVER 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.

[28]


Post Graduates

JOHN BEECHER 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.

GEORGE SELBY PROUTY,

JR-"George"

College Watertown, Mass. Entered September 1934

Rensselaer

Skiing Squad 3, 4, Skiing 5, Manager of the Ski Team 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]


A R T H U R 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

•*• 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. The class is a well balanced group and has

many boys who should stand out as seniors.

The Sophomore Class

DUE to the reluctance on the part of the Sophomores themselves to

write an account of their activities, this article will be necessarily

insufficient. The class is fairly active athletically with two outstanding

skiers and sailors, and a like number of midget football men. With the

exception of one, the Sophomores live in Cary House and looking for

ward 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 reputa

tion for future Proctor teams to uphold.

This group has worked diligently during its first year 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.

The team made the trip to Saxton's River to open the season against

Vermont Academy's Second Team. The "Iron M e n " played with

only two substitutions in the whole game. O n the defensive through

out 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]

P R O C T O R A C A D E M Y . 1 9 3 9

October 27—Proctor vs. Brewster.

Proctor's debut on home territory was spoiled by a disappointing

setback at the hands of our prep school rival number 2, Brewster

Academy. The home 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 up 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 Bud 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 touch

downs at these times, and the team left the field enjoying the

greatest margin of victory attained by a Proctor Football team in

many years.

November 12—Proctor vs. Holderness School.

In the highly heralded climax of the season, preceded by a football

rally and much prediction, Proctor bowed to an undefeated, un

tied, and unscored upon Holderness team, 13-0. After Stevens of the

Blue had scored in the opening minutes, Proctor took command of

the situation and marched down the field only to be stopped on the

three-yard line by the halftime whistle. Taking up the offensive

again after the interim, Proctor finally lost possession and then stood

off Holderness four times within our 5-yard line. The 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 Man Football

FOR the first time in the history of Proctor Academy, six man football

was organized for the benefit of those younger boys who were unable

to enter varsity competition. Under the able direction of Coach Lyle

Farrell, a schedule was arranged and a maximum 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.

The first game: Played at Wolfeboro, Score Brewster-20, Proctor-0.

The hustling and plucky little Brewster boys were a little too much for

our endurance and ability. However, the opener proved of valuable

experience and inspired in the Proctor boys a determination to "Win

or else" in the return game.

[40]

P R O C T O R A C A D E M Y . 1 9 3 9

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.

'~pHE Hockey Squad started off the season with one group of ex-

•*• peiienced men and another of enthusiastic, but inexperienced can

didates. They worked hard and cooperated with Mr. Farrell and Mr.

Nichols, our indispensable coaches. The boys made a very good showing

for the Green and White on the battle field, with four victories as

against three losses. The first line consisted of Brett Smithers, left wing;

Captain George Peck, right wing; and "Phip" Morss, center. The defense

was made up of "Johnny" Hunter and "Turk" Sherman, with Gordon

Davidson in the strings. The second, but very able group was made

up of Woods, Fullerton, Jaynes, and Trow as forwards; Fox, Perry, Wise,

and Batten at the defense; and Howe and Merriam at goal.

[42]

P R O C T O R A C A D E M Y . 1 9 3 9

A brief review of the games is as follows:

PROCTOR-4 N E W H A M P T O N J V's-0

In spite of a small amount of practice Proctor started off the season by overwhelming the New Hampton team by a score of 4-0. "Smiley"

Peck came through with the first goal 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 its first losing 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 V E R M O N T 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 New 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 the first time 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.

FEB. 5, P R O C T O R (356.2)—NORTHWOOD (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 res

pectively. Lee then captured second in jumping, Phillips second in

[44]

P R O C T O R A C A D E M Y . 1 9 3 9

slalom, and Kaufholz fifth in cross-country. The team totals were very

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 Holder

ness 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 New 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 placed fifth in 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, PROCTOR (374)—NEW H A M P T O N (385) home

The Proctor-New Hampton dual ski meet was the last one of the

1939 season. The more experienced New 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 won first and Cochran

fifth in the jumping. Lee again won fourth in slalom and Colt tied for

fourth place in downhill.

Baseball A FTER losing the first three games, the 1939 ball team came to life

* * o n May 13 to drub rival Holderness by a 12-7 score. Captain Mike

Fox, an outfielder last year, pitched a 7-hit game besides leading the

team at bat.

O n May 17 Proctor overwhelmed the N e w Hampton Jayvees, to

w h o m they had previously lost, by a score of 20-7. The Tilton J V's were

also beaten by the score of 11-8. 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 new Franklin courts for practice and

matches. The squad is comprised of 8 members: Batten, Chase, Flint,

Jaynes, Barnard, Prouty, Smithers, and Wilder.

O n May 6, the tennis team trounced the Brewster Academy group,

4-1, at Franklin. Jaynes No. 1 man won his match 6-0, 6-1; Prouty

No. 2 was victorious, 6-3, 6-3; and Barnard No. 3 came out on top, 6-4,

7-5. In the first doubles, Prouty and Jaynes, won their match, 6-0, 6-3,

but in the second doubles, Barnard and Wilder suffered defeat in a hard fought match.

As the Green Lantern goes to press the tennis team faces matches

with Franklin High School, Holderness School, and a return match

with Brewster. From their excellent beginning we have confidence that

Sailing S A I L I N G was offered as a spring activity this year. The two boats

provided limited the group to six boys, who 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 .prepara

tion for the first competitive races with the M. I. T. Freshmen, in which

Proctor finished a close second.

The 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 the first N e w Hampshire prep school to finish.

The Brown University Invitation Interscholastic Meet found Proc

tor second in a field of twelve schools, and only four points from first

place. The boys did a fine piece of sailing and well deserved the praise

that they drew from the spectators.

The last racing of the year was the dual meet with Colby Junior

College. Proctor won each of the five races, but the Colby girls promise to make it a more interesting contest next year.

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:

BLAKE F. C O L T '39

GEORGE S. PECK '39

MITCHELL H. F O X '39

H O W A R D K. FULLERTON '39

A R N O L D E. ROGERS '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.

Proctor Press

RESUMING where they left off last year, the editors of the Proctor

'•^ 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, "Hugh" Turner, Gordon Davidson, "Dave" Colt, George Richardson, and "Dick" Alton.

The Debating Society

A T the first meeting of the Debating Society called by Mr. Farrell,

•**'Our coach, two veterans from last year's team, Kenneth Payne and

Waldemar Flint responded. However, as the question was a very in

teresting 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. The 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. The high

light 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,

summoned candidates for two fall plays, "Dress Reversal" and "Dead

line." 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 made a great hit when presented. T w o performances of each play

were given, one for visitors and townspeople and another for the boys.

The "Players" also produced "Wolves," a one act play before Spring

vacation, and on May 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, we conducted many

worktrips or "feeds," as they were enticingly called, for the twofold

purpose of initiating new members and improving the cabin and its

environs. The major project was the proposed building of a fireplace

for the cabin along with several other much needed developments. The

fireplace progressed as far as a pile of stones, but with the coming of

the snows, interest waned. However, we hope to continue this spring.

At the annual meeting on October 2, 1938, Blake Colt was elected President, George Richardson, Secretary-Treasurer, Waldemar Flint

Head of the Maintenance Committee, and Walter Morrill, Head of the Membership Committee.

Radio Broadcasts

ANOVEL 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.

The first program took place on March 17 when "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 The United States Should Form an

Alliance with Great Britain."

O n May 4 The Proctor Players produced "Dad," a one act play

which was such a success that we were asked to present a weekly series

of plays during the remainder of the Spring. Unfortunately this was im

possible, but a more lengthy program is already being planned for next

year which may include a current events forum in addition to broadcasts

similar to the ones described.
