Liberal Evanston, 111. Entered September 1937

Baseball Manager 3, Football Squad 3, Sailing 2, Green Lantern Staff 3, 4, Hockey Team 4, Proctor Press 2, 3, 4, Proctor Players 2, 3, 4. Because of his size and verbosity "Dick" has been the butt of many unnecessary puns. In spite of this he has stuck to his guns in the things he likes, notably the Proctor Press and the Proctor Players. H e has shown the calibre of courage necessary for successful living by his earnest endeavors on the hockey team.

HARRY DUNLAP BROWN, JR-

"Bozo" College Billerica, Mass.

Entered September 1938 Norwich

Football Team 3, Ass't Ski Manager 4, Proctor Players 3, 4. "Bozo" is famed alike for his amours and hard-hitting football. His many friends testify to the fact that he has won the title of the most generous and kindly boy in the Senior Class. The Green Lantern and ski team thank him for many hours of hard labor. His melodious voice contributed greatly to the operetta.

T H E G R E E N

GEORGE ROSS ELBERFELD "Elber"

Liberal East Boston, Mass. Entered September 1937 Rochester Mechanics

Six-man Football 3, Ski Team 2, 3, Outing Club 4, Archery 4, Tennis Squad 2, 3, Cabin Club 3, 4. Although quiet and reserved George is one of the ablest boys in the Senior Class. The Proctor environment has made George one of the many boys who have a wholesome love for outdoor life. His interest and ability in mathematics and the sciences will carry him far in his ambition to study engineering.

L A N T E R N

GORDON N. DAVIDSON i "Dave"

Liberal Hanover, N. H. Entered September 1936

Cabin Club 1, 2, 3, 4, Football Team 3, 4, Ski Team 2, Hockey Team 3, 4, Baseball Team 3, 4. Gordon is most prominent in athletics being a three letter man for two years. His aspirations to play college football may well be realized as his actions on the Proctor team this year have proved that he is fully capable of it. His frankness with other people has usually been more pleasurable than painful. The best of luck.

[20]


ROBERT GREGG ENGLE "Buck"

Liberal New York, N. Y. Entered September 1938

Football Team 3, 4, Captain of Football Team 4, Baseball Team 3, 4, Cabin Club 3, 4, Student Council 4, Green Lantern Staff 4. "Buck" is the outdoor man of the class due to his knowledge of wild life and nature. Weekends have found our cabin very often occupied by him, but his activities have not been limited to the woods for he has played an important part on the athletic field, and also in the shaping of the Student Council.

N O R M A N LESLIE HALE "Norm"

Liberal Newtonville, Mass. Entered September 1939

Improvement Squad 4, Ski Squad 4, Tennis Squad 4. "Norm" has been greatly handicapped this year due to a long confinement in the infirmary during the winter term. However, such a set-back did not dampen his spirits and he came through this Spring to furnish the Tennis team with many humorous afternoons on the court.

[21]


RALPH WHEELOCK HULBERT "Ralph"

College Brookline, Mass. Entered September 1939

Springfield Hockey Team 4, Ski Team 4, Proctor Players 4, Archery 4. Although with us for only one year, Ralph has made a lasting impression on his classmates. He introduced Archery to the school as a regular part of our sports program as well as starring in both skiing and hockey. He also played the leading man in the operetta.

JOHN MARCUS KAUFHOLZ "Tiny"

College Canton, Ohio Entered September 1937

Dartmouth Ski Team 2, 3, 4. Captain of Ski Team 4, Outing Club 4, Baseball Squad 2, 3, Cabin Club 4, Dance Committee 4, Vice-President of Senior Class 4, Student Council 4. Long hours of hard work and extreme patience have proved "Tiny's" right to leadership. His gargantuan size and capacity for "icebergs" have only been outdistanced by his renown as a "jitterbug" and Cross-country man.

JOHN LEWIS MERRIAM "Trig"

College Providence, R. I. Entered September 1938

Brown Six Man Football 3, Football Team 4, Hockey Squad 3, Hockey Team 4, Baseball Squad 3, 4, Cabin Club 4, Green Lantern Staff 4.

"Trig," as he was named by a preceding class, has shown his ability in athletics as well as in scholastics. He has gone out for the most competitive sports, and in them has set an example for many boys. Although reserved by nature he stands high in all his classes.

KENNETH ADAMS PAYNE "Ken"

College Pleasantville, N. Y. Entered September 1937

Union Football Team 2, 3, Sailing 3, 4, Yacht Club 4, Proctor Press 2, 3, 4, Proctor Players 2, 3, 4, Debating Team 2, 3, Green Lantern Staff 4.

One of the scholastic leaders of the class, Ken's wide knowledge of oriental philosophies and sailing have been the basis of many an argument. His drive and mental energy will undoubtedly carry him through to his ambition, to be a doctor.

[23]


CARLOS GOODWIN X PRENTISS "Carl"

College N. Brookfield, Mass. Entered September 1939

Football Team 4, Hockey Team 4, Proctor Players 4, Baseball Team 4, Green Lantern Staff 4. "Carl," the talent scout of the Andover beauties, is so successful at making friends we wonder if he is a student of Dale Carnegie's, " H o w to W i n Friends and Influence People." In the short time he has been with us he has won varsity letters in both Hockey and Football. "Carl" may be back next year as a P. G.

GEORGE FRANCIS RICHARDSON

"Richie" College Lowell, Mass.

Entered September 1937 Lowell Textile Institute

Manager of the Ski Team 3, 4, Manager of the Improvement Squad 3, 4, Junior Marshal 3, Cabin Club 3, 4, Proctor Press 2, 3, 4, Secretary-Treasurer of Senior Class 4, Green Lantern Staff 3, 4. George's genius for business administration, and his passion for neatness and punctuality have given him the position of Secretary in many school organizations. His conscientiousness and serious efforts will carry him far in Textiles.

ARNOLD EDWARD ROGERS "Roge"

Union Football Manager 3, Football Squad 4, Baseball Squad 2, Proctor Press 2, 3, 4, Cabin Club 2, 3, 4, Student Council 3, 4, Proctor Players 2, 3, 4, Alumni Representative of Senior Class 4, Green Lantern Staff 4. Arnold's fondness for jokes has kept the dormitory shaking with laughter. In more serious moments he is deeply studious and has shown his versatility in his persistent efforts in extra-curricular activities.

FRANK W. SARGEANT >C "Sarge"

College Upper Montclair, N. J. Entered January 1940

Ski Squad 4, Baseball Team 4. Frank entered in the middle of this year and in his own quiet-spoken way has given us an insight into his steadfast and conservative character. Whatever he has attempted to do he has done to the very best of his ability. W e regret that our acquaintance with him has been so short.

[25]

EDWIN DUNCAN / U R Q U H A R T

"Ed" Liberal Edgewood, R. I.

Entered October 1939 Nichols Junior College

Football Team 4, Hockey Team 4, Baseball Team 4, Captain of White Team. "Ed" entered Proctor after the school year was already under way and immediately showed himself to be a leader not only scholastically but also in the field of sports. In the "dungeon" he has been a pleasant contrast and a Ping Pong ladder climber. W e are sure that "Ed" will go a long way and be a credit to himself and to Proctor.

L A N T E R N

H O W A R D BRETT ;, SMITHERS, JR.

"Smeeth" College Salisbury, Conn.

Entered September 1937 Union

Football Squad 2, 3, Team 4, Hockey Team 2, 3, 4, Tennis Squad 2, Team 3, Outing Club 3, 4, Student Council 4, Cabin Club 2, 3, 4, Proctor Press 2, 3, 4, President of Senior Class 4, Archery 4, Junior Marshal 3, Green Lantern Staff 4. "Smeeth" has been the mainstay of many student ideas and problems, and has been valuable to the Student Council in solving them. His desire to go far out-side of school has been shown by his industriousness and clear thinking.

[26]


DOUGLAS WOODRUFF, JR. "Bouncy"

College Auburn, N. Y. Entered September 1939 Nichols Junior College

Sailing 4, Hockey Captain 4, Proctor Players 4, Green Lantern Staff 4. "Doug" will be best remembered for his hockey and his volubility. Not only has he excelled on the ice, from whence his erratic movements early earned him the title of "Bouncy," but also in his studies. W e expect great things of his ambitions in the business world.

J-ôst - CraduateS

LUBOR M. CAPEK «-" "Lu"

College Prague, Czechoslovakia Entered September 1939

Dartmouth Football Team 4, Ski Team 4, Proctor Players 4. "Lu" has given a continental touch to the class and increased our understanding of European crises with his first-hand information. H e has been a prominent figure on the Ski Team, especially in jumping. His insatiable appetite for modern music has been appeased regularly at the local store, but he still clings to the melodies of the "Count."

T H E G R E E N L A N T E R N I ^ (

JOHN EDWARD NELSON "John"

College Newburyport, Mass. Florida Southern

Ski Squad 4, Cabin Club 4, Proctor Press 4, Proctor Players 4, Dance Committee 4; Tennis Squad 4, Green Lantern Staff 4. In John we have found the essence of gentility and politeness. He has the ability of making us feel at home and of keeping us in a good humor. These things have been assets to the organizations of which he is a member. W e have all learned a great deal from him.

ROBERT NIMS SAWYER, JR-

"Bob" College Franklin, N. H.

Entered September 1939 Bates

Football Team 4, Ski Team 4, Captain of the Green Team 4, Proctor Players 4, Green Lantern Staff 4. "Bob" has proved a valuable assistant to the dance committees in arranging many successful "blinds" through his seemingly endless feminine correspondence. "Bob" will be remembered as one of the best natured men of Gannett House, and as an ardent, though not always successful, ski jumper.


1/ PAUL HAMILTON SWETLAND

"Swett" Liberal Cleveland, Ohio

Entered September 1939 Nichols Junior College

Ski Squad 4, Sailing 4, Proctor Players 4, Green Lantern Staff 4. If there is a consistently buoyant spirit in school it is Paul Swet-land. "Swett's" excellence with paint and brush can be seen in the cuts for the year book and his ability in sailing has been a boost to that group. His drive and enthusiasm have contributed much to Proctor. W e wish him luck.

ARTHUR HUBERT TURNER "Hugh"

College Hopedale, Mass. Entered September 1938

Football Manager 5, Football Team 6, Ski Squad 5, Hockey Manager 6, Tennis Squad 5, Proctor Press 5, 6, Proctor Players 5, 6, Green Lantern Staff 6. "Hugh" has the distinction of enjoying his second P. G. at Proctor. He will be most remembered for his theatrical ability and good nature. In 1938 "Hugh" was an unusually efficient football manager and in 1939 he made the jump from manager to letter man.

IN MEMORY OF DAVID McCORMAC COX In the few short months that he was with us, David

made many friends, and, we feel, benefited almost as much

from his acquaintance with Proctor as Proctor benefited

from his friendship. T o his relatives, the class of 1940

here express their deepest sympathies in their sad bereave

ment.

'"p HE JUNIOR Class this year boasts eleven members most of which

*• intend to complete their Senior year here. As in the past, members

of this class will be leading the school next year in all student activities.

They show promise of being able to do this well, having already shown

themselves to be apt in every phase of student life. The class of 1940

passes on to them the privilege and responsibility of carrying on student

affairs next year.

boys, though young, have proved themselves capable of upholding school

traditions in all fields and are worthy of assuming student leadership during the next two years.

T)ROCTOR ACADEMY'S 1939 football season showed a fighting spirit

•*• in spite of four losses. The inexperience of the players, not the team

spirit, may be judged by the scores. More than the usual number of

the younger boys turned out and these may be expected to form the

backbone of next year's team.

October 7, Proctor vs. Vermont Academy

Proctor came up from behind on the home field in the opening

game of the season but could not tie Vermont Academy, after a

vicious set of marches had failed to net more than one touchdown.

The Vermont squad, who drove to two quick touchdowns in the first half, won the game 13-7.

[38]

P R O C T O R A C A D E M Y . 1 9 4 0

An 85 yard march by a series of passes and sweeps, which set Proctor

for its only score, was the highlight of the game.

Although both teams were inexperienced, on several occasions

Proctor showed strong offensive possibilities. It appeared statisti

cally that Vermont deserved to win, but late minute hard football

by the Proctor team gave promise of good football.

October 21, Proctor vs. Traip

The second game of the season was an upset with Proctor being

the loser, 31 to 0, but also it proved to the team the dangers of

interceptions and fumbles. A strong running attack headed by a

powerful backfield seemed a little too much for Proctor to handle.

In the first half, Traip made two touchdowns when they unfolded

line smashing plays and recovered fumbles and intercepted two

Proctor passes.

The second half was spotted with a few more interceptions and

Traip gained eighteen more points. Proctor's big chance came

when they gained thirty yards on a fake reverse. Sparked by this

the team opened its drive, which was only halted by the final whistle.

October 28, Proctor vs. Brewster

The Green team played at Brewster in a high wind blowing in

from the open expanses of Lake Winnepesaukee which seriously

crippled the home team's passing attack. Proctor did not manage

to threaten the Brewster eleven until the last period when a finish

ing spurt was ended by the whistle to give the Brewster team a 27-0 victory.

November 11, Proctor vs. Holderness

The traditional Holderness-Proctor rivalry flared up in this last

and all-important game of the season, as both teams played a better

brand of football than they had played before. The score, 25-0 for

Holderness, does not, as might be surmised, imply a sweeping vic

tory for Holderness. Proctor ran the ball time and again to the

goal line of its adversary but then became nervous and fumbled

while the more confident Holderness team converted all their po

tentialities into scores. From all points of view this game upheld the characteristic friendly rivalry of the two schools.

^Mocki f T H E 1940 Hockey T e a m members proved to be an experienced group

in the first practice and set a new example of team play in spite

of the smallness of the squad. The team lost most of its games but all

of those were to schools considerably larger and with squads from two

to five times its size. This and the injuries and illness which the team

suffered more than justify its one-sided score sheet.

January 10, Proctor (l)-Vermont (4) away Proctor's opening game with Vermont Academy's combined first and

second teams saw the home team go down fighting to the score of 4-1

against more than thirty opposing players. As was the case in all later games the first line played all but a few minutes of the game.

January 13, Proctor (3)—Brewster (4) home The team suffered its second setback of the season by bowing to a strong Brewster aggregation. Ice conditions hampered both teams

but the game had plenty of action and scoring.

January 17, Proctor (3)-Kimball Union (2) away With the entire team playing good hockey we wiped out the bad

[40]

P R O C T O R A C A D E M Y . 1 9 4 0

taste of past defeats, outplaying the K. U. A. team to the tune of

3-2 and making the first victory of the year for any Proctor team.

January 20, Proctor (0)—Northwood (9) away

This game was included in the annual trip to Lake Placid and

winter sports competition with Northwood school. Competing

against such superior rivals the team turned in an exceptional job

in keeping the score down to the 9-0 defeat.

January 24, Proctor (4)—Holderness (2) away Proctor avenged itself for the football defeat stamping down the

Holderness opposition for a score of 4-2. The team hit its stride

in the first period in a scoring spree and then clinched the game in

the last period with another goal.

January 27, Proctor (2)—Vermont (4) home

The team lost for the second time this season to Vermont Academy

4-2. Proctor scored first in the first period but Vermont rallied

with three successive goals taking a lead which they held to the end.

February 14, Proctor (1)—Holderness (1) home

The second of a two game series with Holderness ended in a 1-1

tie. Bad ice again slowed up play and an exhausting overtime

period failed to benefit either side.

February 23, Proctor (2)—Brewster (8) away

Brewster again toppled the Green aided by Proctor injuries and

sickness. This game, the hardest fought of the season, ended in

a score of 8-2.

February 24, Proctor (2)—Clark (11) away

Meeting the first large up-set since the Lake Placid trip Proctor

was beaten by a two man Clark team 11-2. The two Clark aces

exhibited a style of close cooperation that gained Proctor goals in

later games.

February 28, Proctor (4)—New Hampton (1) away

The N e w Hampton J. V. team proved to be more in numbers but

less in experience as Proctor easily walked away with a 4-1 victory.

February 29, Proctor (0)—Kimball Union (1) home

The game with N e w Hampton the previous day prevented the team

from playing the game in their usual energetic manner and they

dropped the game in a close battle 1-0.

March 2, Proctor (3)-Clark (8) home

A n overconfident Clark team defeated its own ends in piling up a

large score as the Green held them down to eight tallies and pushed

in three themselves. This ended the 1940 hockey season.

HP HE winter season of 1940 produced a strong competitive team for •*• Proctor Academy. A lot of credit is due to the coaching staff, which

consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Burbank and Mr. Dresser.

January 20, Proctor (359.9)—Northwood (400) away The ski team went to Lake Placid and made a very good showing against the superior Northwood team. The team consisted of Lee,

Kaufholz, "Bob" Sawyer, MacCormick, Capek, and Phillips. Proc

tor placed in slalom and jumping but the Northwood team won

when they took all the places in the downhill and cross-country.

January 24, Proctor (193.6)—Brewster (200) away

In this meet Lee placed first and Phillips fourth in downhill. Lee also took third in the slalom.

February 3, Proctor (186.3)-Tilton (187.8) away

This meet, was lost to Tilton by a very small margin. In cross-

fourth.

February 7, Proctor (296.9)—Brewster (285.0) home

With added practice the team easily revenged the Brewster defeat.

In slalom, Phillips placed third and "Bob" Sawyer placed fourth. Phillips took a first in downhill, and Lee followed up with a second

place. First place was taken by Phillips in cross-country and second

place by MacDougall followed by Kaufholz in third place.

February 17, Proctor (394.3)-Holderness (381.6) home

The rival Holderness team was defeated here by a strong Proctor team. The places were: In jumping—Phillips second, Capek third,

and "Bob" Sawyer fourth. In slalom—Phillips third and Hulbert

fourth. In downhill—Lee second, Hulbert third and MacDougall

fourth. Cross-country—Phillips first and MacDougall third.

February 21, Proctor (393.4)—New Hampshire B. T e a m (400) home

The team made a good showing against the much superior B team of the N e w Hampshire University. In jumping Lee took first and

Phillips second place. Phillips also placed fourth in slalom and cross-country.

February 24, Proctor (400)-Concord High (362.7) away

Proctor came through in this meet and defeated the Concord team by a convincing score. The following places were taken: Jumping

—Lee first, Phillips third, and Capek fourth. In cross-country-

Lee first, Kaufholz second, and Phillips fourth. In downhill—Lee

first, Capek third, and Phillips fourth, and in slalom, Phillips took

first, Woodbury second, and Lee third.

February 27, Proctor (380.5)-New Hampton (387.1) home

Although skiing against a much touted N e w Hampton team Proc

tor lost by a small margin. In jumping Lee took first. In crosscountry—Kaufholz took first, Phillips second, and Lee fourth. In

the downhill—Phillips took the only Proctor place, a fourth.

March 6, Proctor (381.8)-Holderness (385.8) away

In the last meet of the season Proctor met Holderness again and

was defeated by four points. In jumping—Phillips first, Capek third, and Lee fourth. In downhill—Woodbury took second. In slalom-

Lee took third, our only place. In cross-country—Phillips took first, Kaufholz second, Lee third, and "Fred" Goodsell fourth.

*T* HIS spring, Archery, a sport new to Proctor's long list of extra-

•*- curricular activities, was introduced by Ralph Hulbert who also

acted as coach for the group. Four boys responded to the call and

elected Archery as their regular spring sport. Many others have shown

their interest and have come out whenever they could spare time from

their regular activities. The skills which the sport develops seems to

insure its continuance.

~Jke v->aieball Je earn T)ROCTOR opened its baseball season against the Tilton J. V.s on

May 8th. The team's inexperience was the cause of the disastrous

26-0 defeat they suffered. The next game, with the N e w Hampton J. V.s showed that the team had mastered the difficulties which had

made the first defeat possible as they were beaten by the close score

of 6-4. Proctor showed some real adeptness in the game with Holder

ness on May 18 in which the spectacular hitting of both teams rather obscured their excellent defensive play. Although the team was beaten in this game 13-11 we are looking forward to the next game with Holder

ness because the teams are very evenly matched. There are also four other games scheduled which will not be played in time to describe in

the Green Lantern.

particularly interested in creating permanent benefits for the school.

From year to year, this organization has accomplished some remarkable feats and has done a great deal to help the growing needs of the school.

A m o n g its more spectacular undertakings, this squad has been

largely responsible for the upkeep of the Cabin and has now nearly completed the leveling of the ground adjacent to Cary House for three

new tennis courts. The class of '40 extend their heartiest thanks for their splendid work.

H P H E P R O C T O R Sailing T e a m won clear title to the interscholastic

•*• championship of N e w England. O n May 15 the Proctor crew, skip

pered by Abbott Phillips, defeated over thirty-five schools in the Proctor

sponsored M. I. T. regatta on the Charles River, which included many

of the most successful younger sailors in the East. Phillips was given

the Proctor Boatshop built skiff which was the first prize.

O n May 25 Proctor, again under Abbott Phillips's able skippering,

won the ten school regatta sponsored by Brown University on Narragan-

sett Bay. In six heats Proctor won four, was second once, and was dis

qualified once for touching a buoy. Phillips and Sandy Lee, his crew, showed superior skill at all times.

The success of the Proctor crews is probably due to the constant

sailing of our own fast boats on Highland Lake last Fall and since the ice went out this Spring.

Other sailing activities included dual meet victories over Vermont Academy and Colby Junior College, and two defeats by the M. I. T.

Freshmen. Much credit is due to Mr. Shinn for his competent direction of the sailing season.

^Jke Jennis ~Je earn TN THE early part of the spring term Mr. Farrell decided not to have

a team this year, but so many boys signed for recreational tennis that

a team was finally whipped into shape. Its first and only match to

date was lost to Holderness 5-0, none of the Proctor boys having ever com

peted in a meet before. More matches are scheduled and with the

added practice before them the team is expected to turn in some victories.

^Jhe J^tudent Council

H P H E Student Council of 1940 was represented by five boys who were A definitely concerned with the promotion of Proctor's standing as a

school. This purpose was achieved by improving existing conditions to

meet the student's needs more adequately and by aiding boys who had

personal difficulties. This group has not been solely a "complaint bu

reau," but has striven to make constructive, helpful suggestions, and in

several instances carried out these ideas without being entirely dependent

on faculty assistance. One example of this was the establishment of the

school auxiliary fire department which will undoubtedly prove an asset

to both the school and the community.

The school regrets the loss of four of these boys by graduation, but

will profit greatly by association with them and by their good work for the school.

~dke Cabin Club

A S IN the past, the Cabin Club has again proved to be the most popu-•^^lar organization in school. For its members, the Cabin Club offers many and varied privileges of which the most brilliant attractions are the week-end trips. These outings accomplish the dual purpose of providing work-trips for the new boys who wish membership and of keeping the Cabin in good repair. This year the Cabin Club members have started the installation of a fireplace to supply the long-felt need for more heat during the winter months.

T H I S year the Student Council, with the aid of the student body, organized a fire department. Fire Chiefs were elected in each

dormitory and a Fire Commissioner to w h o m they are responsible, was elected by the student body. For fires outside the school the student body will be under the direction of these officers who in turn will be directed by the T o w n Fire Department. The plan has the enthusiastic support of the faculty and every hope of materializing into something of value.

THIS year, under the direction of the Rev. Napoleon W. Lovely,

the Honor Society was formed for the members of the student body

that attained an average in marks of eighty or over. The function of

this society is to further enlighten the students in current affairs and

any other subjects that are brought before the meetings. The society

holds its meetings every other Thursday evening at the Parsonage. The

attendance at the society's meetings varied from week to week depending

upon the amount of school work to be done. Many of the members

attended faithfully week in and week out and enjoyed the meetings

very much. W e hope that this society will continue to function in

years to come under the able guidance of Mr. Lovely.

~Jhe \Julinq Club f T N 1936 the Proctor Outing Club was organized for those boys who

could pass certain tests either in skiing or woodsmanship. Its member

ship this year has rapidly increased due both to the advancement of

skiing and its organization under the Eastern Amateur Ski Association.

The E. A. S. A. individual memberships have, in particular, increased

the enthusiasm of the boys. The great strides that skiing has made at

school may well bring the Club wide recognition within the next five

years.

T AST Fall, after several weeks of diligent preparation, this group '-'presented two one act plays; "The Hand of Siva," a spy episode and

"If Men Played Cards as Women Do," a humorous take off on women's

bridge parties. Later in the term the annual presentation of Dickens'

"Christmas Carol" met with its usual success. On May 25th the players

combined with the girls from the Andover High School and produced

the operetta "Jeanie with the Light Brown Hair."

W e extend our cordial and sincere thanks to Mr. Farrell and Mrs.

Dresser who have guided us through a very successful year.

H P H E Proctor Press was founded in 1937 and has steadily grown in

-*• size and circulation. U p until this year the Press was printed by

hand at the school by members of the board. This year the Press board decided that the circulation of the paper would be increased if it were

printed by a company that could improve the appearance of the

paper. The subscription price was raised so as to meet the cost of

printing. Six issues were printed during the year, two of which

were alumni issues, combined with the Proctor News, and dealing partly

with alumni news. Several new articles have been introduced, among

them being the article headed "Who's Who."

The Proctor Press Board of 1940 consisted of:

Jke Ujackt Club

HP HE Proctor Yacht Club, a new organization this year, was formed A with the aim of furthering interscholastic boat racing. T h e club

is organized much as any yacht club with changes that are deemed

necessary to fit local conditions, and it is felt that the changes have

added to the club's efficiency. T h e club was officially organized during

the winter and started active work shortly after the Spring recess. Sail

ing has been a regular school activity for the past few years and it is

felt that this new organization is not without the background of practi

cal experience which many new organizations lack. The membership

is divided into groups. A member's standing depends upon his ability and interest.

T h e officers of the Yacht Club are: Commodore Steven Pope Vice Commodore Abbott Phillips Fleet Captain Humphrey Lee Launchman Barry Smith

Class Ode of 1940

Wind of Ragged whisper at my window pane,

Wind of Kearsarge bring the clean white snow to me,

I would be in the white New Hampshire hills again,

Back to graceful bending Birch and singing Pine,

To all the hopes my heart did once contain.

A lonely lad, I loved your mountain streams,

I heard the haunting call of whip-poor-wills,

And smelled the pungent Pine which seems So much a part of you and fills

With aromatic scent my fondest dreams.

Far below thy ragged wind-torn crest there lies

A school where boys are taught to live like men.

Where learning grows, where youthful hopes arise.

Where happy friends can sing a joyous song,

Where kindly hearts are quick to sympathize.

Across the broad Atlantic lie vast lands

Laid waste by futile Envy, Hate, and Fear.

The leaders must have never known the bands

Of love and brotherhood which we have welded here,

Have never known the kindly hearts, the helping hands.

John E. Nelson
