Headmasters Message One of the compensations for getting on in years is the ability to look back

over a year as one link in a long chain, and to compare it to those that have gone

before. Although the years are similar in many ways, each has its own characteris­

tics, and is colored for each of us by the success or failure that the year may have

brought, and by any personal tragedy that we may have suffered. W e are likely

to speak of a year as being a good one or a bad one according to the proportions of

difficulty that we may have had. Good or bad, as we get older they seem shorter

and more precious. Trouble we learn to accept as an inevitable part of our lives, so

that w e can relish the triumphs, small and large, that may have come to us.

For a school like Proctor, a year is colored to no small extent by the calibre of

the senior class. Their leadership and example have not only set the pattern for the

year that has passed, but have a kind of immortality in their effect upon the classes

behind them, who in turn will affect others. The Class of 1963 has been a strong

one. There have been cases of poor judgment by individuals, but this is natural,

and can be classified as learning the hard way. The leadership of the class seems

to m e to have been positive, and its influence good. Its effect upon the underclass­

men remains to be seen. The academic achievement of the class, and its record in

college admissions is the best that w e have had. W e have watched the members of

the class mature in every way, and with pride we send them on to college.

Mrs. Farrell and I are increasingly aware that very soon we will greet the fresh­

man class with w h o m we, too, will graduate.

5

One of the definitions of man that I like best is that

"he is a culture-making animal". What w e have remembered as well as what w e may have forgot­

ten taken together binds a group or a people into

a cohesive unit and molds the lives and personal­

ities of its members. Here at Proctor Academy you

have been exposed to religion, art, technical sub­ject matter, ethical codes, and ways of doing

things. All of these present ancient and honorable

ways of thinking; and as well you have begun to

develop your own modern kind of thoughts and

feelings. It is within such a culture that man's spirit or soul develops.

As you may have recognized, there is a great con­

troversy going on today about "two cultures",

technical and humanistic, with the idea prevalent

that never shall the two meet. Much about your

future will depend upon your willingness to strug­

gle with this issue. I very much doubt the validity

of the "two culture" idea, f think each responsible

member of society shares a common tradition as

surely as he has a common obligation. One of tire

present dangers to our society is the suggestion

that science and technology serve ends that are

different from our common purpose.

Is not our common obligation and purpose to ac­complish a desired result with the least expendi­

ture of money, time and physical output to the end

that our resources, time and energies can be avail­

able for further advances of all mankind? Of

course w e need today's scientists to lead us down

unknown paths and the engineers to teach us how

to use newly created machines, but equally vital to

modern culture is the sociologist to gauge the im­

pact of change, the philosopher to see new values

and the religious thinker to help us keep alive our divine spark!

It is with such thoughts in mind that the Proctor

Trustees, along with the many fiscal and policy

matters demanding their attention, show a deep

concern for the progress each student makes as he

spends a few years under the influence of our

Proctor community. Each of you know it is the

natural beauty of our campus set in the rolling

hills of N e w Hampshire, the instructors and fellow

students—but most of all you yourself—that makes the Proctor Spirit come alive each year. W e , as

Trustees, are trying to do our part as best w e know how, and trust that you too feel proud of your contribution to our common purpose.

VARSITY FOOTBALL RECORD

Phillips Andover J.V. 0-0

Berwick 12-14 Monadnock 0—6

Fryberg 6—18 Tilton 6-22

Holderness 0—14

This year's Varsity Football team had one of its

most disappointing seasons. Although no games

were won, the team benefitted from its experi­

ences on and off the field.

The first game was played in a hurricane at

Phillips Andover, and the game ended in a tie with

Proctor holding Andover twice inside the five

yard line.

The following Saturday Proctor played host to

Berwick. W e scored first on a five yard run by

Captain Laundon, then led 12-0 as a ten yard pass

from Foster to Van Ness worked for a score. Ber­

wick scored twice in the second half to win

14-12.

The team next travelled to Monadnock High

School. With the temperature in the nineties,

Proctor had trouble getting started, and lost the

game in the final minutes 6—0.

The next week Proctor made a long trip to Fry­

berg, Maine, to play before a H o m e Coming

crowd. Fryberg scored three times in the first half,

but Proctor roared back with a score by Laundon,

but again ran out of time.

With the Tilton game came the girls and snow,

as we faced our heaviest opponent. Foster scored

our lone touchdown as Proctor was trounced

22—6. The final game was played against our

arch-rival, Holderness, in the rain, and, in spite of

all our efforts, Holderness won.

Although the team was beaten in the score col­

umn, it never lost its courage and desire. Captain

Laundon deserves special credit for his strong

leadership. W e hope next year's team will start

Proctor's winning tradition again.

Junior Varsity Football The Junior Varsity Football Team, although it

won only five of its nine games, still profited from

its season. The team started the season with

twenty-two boys, old Beserves and new players,

who had a common desire to learn how to play

football. Through this desire, Mr. Curtis' squat

jumps, and Mr. Wilson's patience, this score of

boys was welded into a football team.

The first game, against Laconia, was played on

a rainy, windy day at home. The running of

Mayo, Davock, and Fuller was able to gain Proc­

tor a victory by two points.

The next Wednesday we played Tilton.

Through the passing arm of Fuller, and the

catching hands of Townsend Gilbert, we de­

feated them 21 to 12.

The season soon turned into the regular monot­

ony of practice for a game, then play a game. But

the boys, led by co-captains Fuller and Rosenthal,

practised and played well. Although we were

playing teams for which a few years ago we were

certainly no match, we were able to pile up three

more victories before the end of the season.

After defeating Cardigan Mountain School 27—

0, we obtained our last hard-fought victory. Mr.

Curtis was gang-tackled and dragged to the

locker room where he gave us a demonstration of

squat jumps in a cold shower.

But victories weren't the only thing we ob­

tained. Because of the coaching of Mr. Wilson

and Mr. Curtis, many of this year's J.-V.'s will be

on next year's varsity. They learned how to play

football. Not only did they learn how to block

and tackle, but they learned the importance of

working, working hard, and working together.

Tilton 36-8

New Hampton 0—8

Holderness 40—0 Tilton P.A.L. 30-0

From the very beginning the "Binky Dinks"

showed tremendous potential, but it took the

guidance of our coaches, Mr. Cole and Mr. Arm­

strong, to bring this quality to light. Probably the

most important factor in the team's outstanding

performances was that the team owed its victories

to no one member.

Our first scheduled game was fought on home

soil against N e w Hampton. During the opening

minutes of the game Newell raced 80 yards, with

Sprague blocking, to score the first touchdown. In

the final period Carl Pate intercepted a pass from

the N e w Hampton quarterback and ran 50 yards

for the score. This ended the game 12-0 in favor

of Proctor.

W e had no trouble with our next three oppo­

nents. The team edged-out our traditional rival,

Holderness, by a score of 6—0, and went on to

defeat Cardigan Mountain and Tilton.

It was a dismal afternoon as w e left for N e w

Hampton, but our spirits were high and most of

us were a little overconfident. Our confidence was

part of our undoing. The game went scoreless

until just before the half when N e w Hampton un­

leashed a powerful passing attack which eventu­

ally produced a score. The rest of the game was

scoreless, and w e were defeated 8—0.

The team took its loss very seriously, for it next

beat Holderness by a score of 40—0. Our last

game was with the Tilton Police Athletic League,

and although the score was 30—0, the game

wasn't as one sided as it sounds. The "Rinks" had

a great season, and w e are all indebted to our co-

captains, Newell and Sprague.

With 4 wins, 7 losses and a tie, the Proctor

Hockey season ended for the 62-63 year. Although

not as impressive a record as most people would

have liked to have seen, this year's team never

gave up.

The first game turned out to be a thriller. Due

to lack of practice, we came out on the short side

of a 2 to 1 score against Berwick at the U. N. H.

rink.

One of the toughest competitors we met all sea­

son was Brewster. O n home ice, we played them

for the first time and lost 5 to 1. Later in the sea­

son they defeated us 9 to 1 at Brewster.

Hanover was next. Although they were small,

size was not an issue, and they turned out to be a

hard-fighting club. At the end of a tough game

they were defeated 4 to 1.

It was being said, "Raymond Mathews, who's

he?" That's what we were wondering when we

met Tilton for the first time, and it was not long

before we found out. Tilton's captain seemed to

hold an undetermined amount of energy in lead­

ing his team, and they defeated us 6 to 1 and 11

to 1. Although we fought hard, we were unable to

contain this powerful skater and his teammates.

W e never gave up our desire to knock this team

off, and because of this, we gained new respect

in their eyes. After a loss to N e w Hampton of 9 to

3, we defeated Lawrence, in a puddle, at their

home rink.

Traveling to Holderness, we lost a hard-fought

game 4 to 0. High spirited Proctor was ready for

them at Winter Carnival, however. Led by our

co-captain, Brownell, we overpowered them 3 to

2, which proved to be the highlight of the season.

The team will miss our co-captains, Kendall

and Brownell, but with many talented underclass­

men, next year's team should prove to be a strong

one.

41

Junior Varsity Hockey When the members of the Junior Varsity

Hockey team returned from Christmas Vacation,

they, unfortunately were greeted with no ice.

Therefore a game called "Gill Ball" was impro­

vised instead. Gill Ball was devised so as to de­

velop hockey skills and techniques off the ice.

After numerous exercises and long runs through

the woods we were ready for the ice. Soon it ap­

peared and we began to start our drills with great

enthusiasm and perseverance.

After two days of practice had gone by we

found ourselves confronted with our first game.

W e traveled away to play Berwick, and after a

long hard game the score read; Proctor 1, Ber­

wick 1. Tex Hughes scored the goal for die team

that day.

It became quite inescapable to our coach, Mr.

Curtis, that the team needed now more than ever,

a great deal of practice individually, and as a

group. Gradually the team took shape with po­

tential coming from as far away as Alabama. W e

lost to our traditional rival, Holderness but re­

deemed ourselves by beating Tilton.

The games we won and the games we lost are

of no importance when compared to the way we

played them. Boys who had never played before

learned to come to know and enjoy the game, and

therefore became a great attribute to the team.

Play makers like Mike Chase and Dave Van Ness;

defensemen like Peter TerKuile and Art Cox,

greatly aided the team in every contest we played

in. Mr. Curtis showed us how to check correctly

and how to play the forward lines and defense

position. His coaching was the spark that kept

the team on the ice fighting all the time. Practice

sessions against the "Old Men" (a faculty team)

were of the utmost help.

Although we didn't have a winning season, the

members of the team due to the able leadership

of our co-captains and our coach, learned and

profited just as much as they would have if we

won every game.

42

VARSITY SKIING The Ski team this year, was hurt by several

painful losses of personnel. Ken Sherman and

Philip Mayo, two of the top skiers on the team last

year were not with us. However a great number of

new skiers joined the J.V. and Varsity teams this

year.

Although weak in Alpine events, tire team

made great strides in improving its Nordic

strength. Philip Wilding-White, Proctor's best

cross country runner ran better than ever before.

H e demonstrated his skill by placing second in

the meet against St. Paul's school and the Har­

vard freshmen. H e also won the Lakes Region

cross country event. Bent, Fuller and Gilbert im­

proved greatly in jumping. Proctor swept the

jumping event in the Lakes Region meet.

The team was full of promising newcomers this

year. Thompson in his first year of skiing at Proc­

tor, was a great contributor to the team in the

slalom events. Zander Smith ran second in cross­

country on the team.

The team began the year with a slow start, los­

ing to Vermont, Holderness, and Kimball Union

academies, but the improvement was rapid, and

Proctor managed to win die Lakes Region ski

meet. Then Proctor edged out Tilton and N e w

Hampton in a three-way meet. O n Carnival

Weekend, Holderness showed its superiority in

skiing by beating Proctor soundly. In the alpine

meet against St. Paul's School, Proctor was again

victorious. At the Eastern Preparatory School

Championship, the Proctor team showed rather

poorly, placing tenth out of fifteen schools. Al­

though the record of the season was not impres­

sive, the season for most of the skiers was en­

joyed as a success.

43

Junior Varsity Skiing

The J.V. Ski Team, with Betts as captain, and

Mr. Littlefield as coach, proved to be the best

J.V. team Proctor has had in a long time. The

team's strong points were the Nordic events, these

consisting of jumping and cross-country. Jump­

ing was popular and many boys found the event

much more exciting than they at first anticipated.

The jumping team consisted of the following:

Nelson, Boberts, Hood, Bust, Seacole, Geibel,

Curtin, Golan, Wilson, Clement, and Crawford.

The three boys listed last picked it up fast, and

pulled through with many points that the team

needed. Cross-Country was a slow developing

event this year. At first we had only a few boys in­

terested, but as the season progressed, we found

man\- proficient boys to fill our team. Among

them were the following: Wilson, Albers, Fallon,

Hood, Clarke, and Thurston. This team worked

hard, and won a majority of the meets they en­

tered.

The J.V. slalom team has a relatively poor sea­

son because there was little time to practice. With

this in mind, we had to use the most experienced

boys to represent us in each meet w e raced. This

team was composed of Wilson, Clement, Golan,

Betts, Donovan, Roberts, Curtin, and Onthank.

The highlight of the season was the meet with

N e w Hampton where the team ranked highly in

each of the following events: Jumping was won

with a total of 100 points, the highest total pos­

sible; Giant Slalom was won with 99.9 points, and

slalom won with 99 points. First place in the

Cross Country event was won by Hood, with New

Hampton winning the remaining places. Out of

sixteen events, we won ten.

Our thanks go to Mr. Littlefield, and to Jewett,

Albers, and Tibbetts for their help in managing

the team. The success of this year's team makes

us think that our varsity team should have few

worries in the future.

WINTER CARNIVAL COURT

WINTER CARNIVAL

WINTER CARNIVAL QUEEN BOB NIELSON AND THE QUEEN

47

Proctor was busy. There was a play rehearsal every night, the teams were practising, a commit­

tee was decorating the gym, er, I mean Slocomb

Hall, and the maintenance crew was working

overtime. Finally the long awaited Friday after­

noon had come, and the girls had begun to arrive.

They came by bus from Boston, by train, plane, or private auto. They came from many states and all

points of the compass, but w e boys could see little profit in thinking about such trivia as how they

had gotten here, but rather settled right down to the business at hand.

First on the agenda was a buffet dinner. The kitchen staff did its best to fool the girls into think­

ing that this was just another everyday meal for

Proctor Students. Following dinner, the Proctor

Players put on a production of Mr. Roberts under the direction of Mr. Condon.

Following the play there was an informal dance

in Holland Addition. The dance ended at 11:30

so that we all could get lots of sleep for the hard day that was to follow.

Breakfast Saturday morning was soon dispensed

with to begin the day's activities. The first event

was skiing on the Blackwater. The weather was

quite wintry—about 30 degrees below zero with a strong wind. The warm-up hut was jammed with

skiers as well as some who were interested in in­

door sports of one sort or another.

After a nourishing lunch of "mountain stew,"

the afternoon was spent watching a Varsity

Hockey game with Holderness which w e won

handily. Some time later everyone retired to their rooms to prepare for the gala evening ahead.

Following an excellent dinner, the boys es­

corted their dates to the dance. The climax of the

evening came with the crowning of the queen,

with Neilson's date taking the honors. During the

interlude, entertainment was provided by two-thirds of a trio. The evening progressed rhythmi­

cally to a halt.

Sunday morning the braver ones ventured out

onto Slalom Hill and the skating rink for some

sporting. Lunch came and went, and the boys,

who had all along been counting the hours, began

to count the minutes. The dates went to pack their

copious bags.

Soon another Proctor Winter Carnival had gone,

leaving milestones here and there in young lives,

and many boys staring reflectively into space.

Looking back over the past four years w e see that the class of 1963 has reason to

be proud of its accomplishments. Of the 41 seniors graduating this year, only 13

are four year men. The class of 1963 is the largest in the history of Proctor. They

have reached new heights academically. T w o years after the last of the liberal stu­

dents, the purpose of the class of 1963 has been solely college preparation. The col­

lege acceptance rate this year is higher than ever before. They have increased the

pace of academic standards at Proctor, and as the school has helped them, they

have helped the school.

In extra-curricular activities they have also excelled. After three years of lacrosse,

the 1963 season was the best yet. The Proctor Press has increased in size and

stature over the past year due to efficient management and distribution. The Proc­

tor Chest drive was a complete success. The class of 1963 was the first senior class

to make full use of the facilities of Shirley Hall.

But this is not what w e will remember most of all about Proctor. It will be the

little things that happened to us throughout the year. The friends we've made, and

the new experiences shared with them are to be remembered. Many of us shall

never see each other again, but their memory and influence will stay with us.

N o w w e go out to meet an even greater challenge, knowing that Proctor has

given us the tools to meet this challenge. M a y those who follow us fare as well as

we, living in Proctor tradition and Proctor code.

President of the senior class.

The 1963 baseball season didn't turn out as the team expected. Their spirit

though kept them fighting to the last, in every game. O n the mound was Mike

Strong and relief chucker Bill White. Bruce Van Ness caught these strong-armed

hurlers, and was amazingly quick and accurate with his throws to second base.

Harry Pierce, playing first, and Jeff Foster at short, were known never to let a

ball by their gloves. In the field were Bandy Minor, John Pollock, and Bob

Applegarth, not to forget, of course, Ronnie Armstrong at third and Bucky Adams

at second base.

Proctor had a tough season this year. They started off with a near win from

our rivals up the valley, but couldn't quite push the score over to our favor. All

the season's games seemingly went in this pattern. The team had an unusual

amount of spirit, and valuable coaching from Mr. Condon, but these didn't seem

to be enough. So, with the hope for better luck next year and the memories of

this year, the 1963 baseball season came to a close.

73

Junior Varsity Baseball

The f. V. baseball season was not totally victorious, although we did beat

Holderness twice. The first time w e won by one run in extra innings. In the

second game they were completely snowed under when w e gained seven runs

in the last inning. Only two of our games were cancelled; one because of rain

and one because of snow. They were both with Tilton.

Our practices were punctuated by the witty sayings of George Infanti and the

crisp comments of Art Cox. Everett Decatur made his contribution with a heroic

leap, backwards, into the stream in left field while chasing a fly ball. In one

game the whole team stared in awe at Jeff Clarke's undying efforts to defend home

plate against a fully equipped football player.

This year's J, V. baseball team being made up of mostly new boys (only seven

from last year), has developed a closer unity and cooperative working effort for

the team's good. This was helped greatly by our coach Mr. Armstrong and cap­

tain Dick Waltz. Some boys who have played little or no baseball before have

evolved into fairly good players.

All in all the ]. V. baseball season was helpful, rewarding and profitable to all

who participated.

This year's Proctor Lacrosse team represented

four years of hard work. Combining new boys

and old boys, this season's team was truly one of

which to be proud.

Every boy on the squad worked and encour­

aged his teammates so that a close-knit unit of

players was formed. Though we often made mis­

takes, we profited by them and the entire team

fared well.

Led by captains D o w and Holt, we had a

highly successful season. These two experienced

and aggressive players helped us to become what

we are — a highly spirited, tough group of la­

crosse players.

Four things were gained this year by .each

player who participated on the team: loyalty to

our team and teammates; honesty on and off the

Geld; no toleration of jealousy or sulking — just

unselfish devotion, and sacrifice, with hard work

and fair play. Work hard, play fair, and live clean

were our by-words. W e learned that by hard,

clean play we would not be ashamed of anything

and this eliminated the need for alibies.

Mr. Gillespie wanted positive action, and w e all

tried hard not to let him down. H e gave us a per­

sonal challenge, and w e turned this into personal

satisfaction through continued hard work.

The Varsity Tennis Team had a winning season

this year. Out of a total of twelve matches played,

only three were lost. Two of these three matches

were lost to K.U.A., which is not in the Lakes

Region league.

Under the captainship of Zander Smith, the

team's members showed great enthusiasm

throughout the season. All the members are ex­

pected to be back next year and the team is

expected to have an undefeated season. Each

member did his share of the winning this year

to brine; the team to its Lakes Region Champion­

ship tie with Tilton. Cal Waters did an excellent

job as number one man on the team. He won

almost all of his matches. Zander Smith teamed

up with Cal Waters to form an excellent doubles

combination. Both Bob Gilbert and Tim Golan

won most of their singles matches this year, and

when teamed up in doubles had an undefeated

season. At New Hampton the doubles team of

Bob Becker and Townsend Gilbert gained vic­

tory in their third set and thus brought Proctor

to a tie for the Lakes Region Championship.

Mr. Littlefield coached the team to victory this

year. Ffe went through the good and bad times

in good humor. Mr. Addy was the honorary as­

sistant coach and head of the team's transporta­

tion facilities. He was always willing to do any­

thing for the team and its members whenever

the need arose. The team is certainly looking

forward to next vear.

During the course of this year Proctor Academy

has brought forth many excellent athletic teams.

Among the most distinguished of these was the

J. V. Tennis team.

Assembling in the early Spring under the eagle

eye of Mr. Edward A. Robbins, the team showed

great potential. As the season went on, the team

received an added boost in the form of several

new players.

Highpoints in the tennis season were victories

over Tilton School, Holderness, and Kimball

Union Academy. Much of the credit for these

victories and also for the team's high morale

should go to the captain, Jay Titus.

The real climax of the season, however, came

in an unscheduled match between the Latin and

French departments, represented by Mr. Rob-

bins and Mrs. Wright. Although Mr. Robbins

played in excellent form, his best so far, he was

decisively defeated, and was not seen on the

tennis courts for several days.

The season afforded a great deal of practice

and pleasure for all the members of the team,

who were as follows: Jay Titus, Bill Cadley,

Peter Kappel, Larry Hough, Peter TerKuile,

James Putnam, Fred Keer, Rick Rust, Victor

Mcdonald, Peter Betts, Peter Newell, Gregory

Kirchoff, and James Ornsteen.

This year the sailing team had the pleasure of

sailing in six new boats. The boats are called

Flying Dutchmen Juniors and are about thirteen

feet long. They are made out of fiberglass which

is practical because they don't require much maintenance.

Our first meet was with the Northfield School for Girls. Our coach, Mr. Knox, and Bill Prout got

so excited over the meet that they both fell in

even before the girls got here. Despite this minor trouble we won the meet four to one.

On May fourth Tabor Academy came here to

race against us. ft was a very windy day and

one of the Tabor boats tipped over. They had a

good team and they managed to edge us out by a score of 77V2-74V2.

Williston Academy came up to race us on the

eleventh of May. There was hardly any wind.

W e put up a good fight but luck was with them

in the last race, and the)' edged us out 3-2.

W e next hosted the Dublin School. It was a

windy day and our captain got caught with his

jib cleared and thus ended up in the lake. He

dried off quickly and was back in the next race.

Dublin sailed well and ended up two points ahead of us.

North Yarmouth Academy came to race us

next. There was a good breeze and they man­

aged to turn two boats over in two races. They

kept trying, but by the end of the afternoon we won 4-0.

On Saturday May 25, Dave Cook, Grey

Lerchen, Bill Prout, Sears Wullschleger, and Mr.

Knox, went clown to Boston to take part in the

N e w England Prep School Championships. W e placed third for the third year in a row, and

Dave Cook, for the second year, won the high

points award. Next year we hope to do better than third.

Next spring we will be without our best skip­

per, Dave Cook, and I hope we will get some new boys who can sail as well as he can.

This year at Proctor, golf was again one of the

more victorious sports. Although the golf team

did not equal its last year's record, we had a

very successful season. With three old Proctor

golfers and three new boys we closed up the

season winning six of our matches. Our captain,

Nat Fuller, and Bob W o o d who did so well last

year, were both back this year pacing the team

onto victory. Bob W o o d took second place in the

Lakes Region Championship. With his efforts and

the efforts of the rest of the team we took sec­

ond place in the tournament, losing by four

strokes to Brewster Academy.

For the first year the golf team has been lucky

enough to have its own coach, Mr. John Maguire.

He has helped us all a great deal, much to our

own benefit. Mr. Hugh Addy also helped us in

our all-successful season.
