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

"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

Quincy is the "smooth apple" of the
Senior Class. At "Kate's" he spends
his allowance liberally (for himself),
but wisely. His activities on the year
book have been energetic to a degree
far beyond our expectations. Emery's
sportsmanship on the court has been
unquestionable.

"Fro" is the clown, acrobat and
dancer of the Class. H e has partici
pated in most school activities, where
his fertile imagination and helping
hand have beert evident, and have as
sured him a wide popularity on the
campus. "Chuck's" appetite for
swing is splendid and his digestion
of such has been of advantage to the

"I don' believe it"
"Bud's" dominant and friendly per
sonality have made him a natural
leader at Proctor. His witty remarks,
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"
has educated us in the "Ways of the

"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
satile individual.

"It is interesting to note"
"Drum's" efficiency and desire to
help others ranks him as the indi

his desire to transport many books
makes him appear studious. Herbert

Dana is perhaps the most prominent
member of the class. As president of

"Oh Sure"
Max is the philosopher of the P. G'S.
He always presents a weighty view
of the question, but is an eternal op

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
T H E G R E E N L A N T E R N
"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
T H E G R E E N L A N T E R N
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

The climax and peak of entertainment for Proctor skiers came March

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.
Wed., April 27—Holderness 6—Proctor 18—Slaughter in which bats take the

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

T H E G R E E N L A N T E R N
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.
