liberal course and 3 in the college course. They have had an excellent start at Proctor and are looking forward to their return in the fall. There are several promising athletes in the class who will have important parts to play on our teams in years to come. Particularly noticeable is a marked degree of potential leadership.

•"THE season of Proctor Academy's 1940 football team was by far the best of recent years, and shows great promise for next
fall as sixteen members of the squad expect to return next year. The loss of the first game did not overcome our squad as they went out and by sheer courage won the next two games. W e are greatly indebted to our new coach Mr. Dresser, and sincerely wish him the best of luck in future years.

October 4, Proctor vs. Kimball Union Jayvees
Scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter, Kimball Union Jayvees took an early lead and defeated Proctor 20 to 0, in a hard-fought game. All three Kimball touchdowns were scored on end sweeps, with the final one being registered in the fourth quarter. Although clearly beaten by a better and more experienced team, the Proctor boys showed that they will play through to the last whistle. W e are looking forward to some hard-fought games with our rivals.
October 26, Proctor vs. Brewster
Proctor won the second game of the season over a light, but hard-fighting Brewster team by the score of 7-6. This game was at home and it showed that the Green and White was on its way. This game showed a fast charging forward wall and a hard driving backfield. It was in the last five minutes of play that Proctor scored their touchdown and they almost scored another one for good measure.
November 4, Proctor vs. New Hampton Jayvees
Proctor 6, New Hampton Jayvees 0, was the score of the third battle on the gridiron for Proctor, and its second triumph. Many times our team drove down the field toward a touchdown, but with one exception the team was beaten off by a tight New Hampton defense which stiffened when backed deep into their own territory. The spirit and morale of the team was high after the outcome of this game.
November 9. Proctor vs. Holderness
In the last game a plucky Proctor team was defeated 33-0 by a much larger and better Holderness team. Proctor was outclassed, but never, even after the score began to mount, did the Green and White warriors stop fighting. Several injuries cropped up during this game which saw good hard
football played at Holderness.

e lOaieball ^Jeam •"PHE baseball team, off to one of the earliest starts in recent
years, at first was slightly hampered by a few cases of measles. However, those over with, the team, by far the most successful for many years, started off the season to lose the first game, due mostly to the lack of experience of the team as a whole. Nevertheless, this first game showed the team that they definitely possessed the ability to cooperate and that they had the spirit to win. The team of 1941 was more consistent in its playing than those of previous years. The season was very appropriately finished by the winning of the last game, which resulted in the winning of three games with an equal number
of losses.
May 14, Proctor vs. Brewster
After getting off to a bad start in the first inning in which the Brewster team collected three runs, the Proctor team settled down and held the Brewster boys to four runs in the
3k

P R O C T O R A C A D E M Y . 1 9 4 1
last six innings. The only runs made by the Green and White came in the fifth inning. The final score was Brewster 7, Proctor 2; however, the boys showed great promise which was realized in the future games.
May 17, Proctor vs. Holderness
The game was practically in the bag with the Proctor boys leading ten to six when the team blew up and allowed the Holderness boys to tie it up in the first of the seventh. In the next inning the Holderness team managed to get five more runs to lead fifteen to ten, and although the boys tried mightily to win this game they came out on the short end of a 15 to 14 score. This game brought out the fielding weaknesses and the subsequent practice sessions worked to overcome them.
May 21, Proctor vs. New Hampton Jayvees
Coming from behind with a last inning rally accompanied by some beautiful clutch hitting the Proctor boys managed to win this game 10 to 8.
May 28, Proctor vs. Tilton Reserves
Playing by far the steadiest baseball of the season with the spirit of the team high the Proctor boys really went to town in the batting department winning this game 21 to 7.
May 31, Proctor vs. Holderness
The boys' overconfidence spelled defeat in this game; although they played good baseball the superior Holderness team came out on top by a 10 to 4 score.
June 2, Proctor vs. New Hampton Jayvees
In the final game of the season the boys really gave all they had playing superb baseball. In the first three innings only ten New Hampton players faced the Proctor battery. The Proctor boys, playing heads up baseball the whole game, came out on the long end of the 6 to 3 score. With all but two members of the team expecting to come back it is expected that we shall have even better luck next year. The Class of '41 sincerely hopes that this is true and extends their best wishes to this end.

•"PHE Ski Team of 1941 was a great disappointment to both the coaches and the skiers. The team was considered to be the
best ever developed here at Proctor; however, with measles and chicken pox both in our school and those of our competitors, coupled with the lack of sufficient snow we were able to hold only one meet. Nevertheless, with most of the squad expecting to be back next year, the class of '41 wishes them a very successful season.
January 26. Proctor vs. Brewster
The Proctor boys were defeated in a two event meet with Brewster 200-191. The Brewster boys outskied the Green in the two events, Downhill and Slalom, and although defeated, the Proctor boys showed fine school spirit and fought from start to finish.

•"PHE Proctor sailing team this year was not so fortunate as they have been in past years. Nevertheless, in all meets they made
a good showing. With sailing becoming increasingly popular here at Proctor and the fleet of boats on the lake grows larger, it is expected that the teams of future years under the careful tutelage of Mr. Shinn, should "bring home the bacon" in almost every meet. The squad showing splendid cooperation with Mr. Shinn and Mr. Engle, have built a very useful boathouse and also enlarged the dock. In the third annual regatta sponsored by the school, and held at M. I. T. on the Charles River, the boys from Proctor placed fifth out of the thirty-five schools competing.

"PROCTOR'S 1941 tennis team although not fortunate enough to win any of its matches shows great promise for next year
with all but two of the squad planning to come back. The team had matches against both Holderness and Brewster Academy, and towards the end of the season the boys really showed great improvement in their strokes. It is sincerely hoped that with the advent of the four new tennis courts that the teams of the future years will have better luck.

•"PHIS year's improvement squad under the capable direction of Mr. Burbank, has truly lived up to its name. Some of the
many things that have been accomplished are: The completion of the new tennis courts; the leveling off of the trail used for the new ski-tow; the removing of a great many rocks and stumps from the slalom hill; also the removal of several dead trees, and general beautifying of the campus. The class of '41, believes that the boys who comprised this squad deserve a great deal of credit, for unlike other sports no letter is awarded. The boys go out and work at least four afternoons a week for the sole purpose of making the campus more livable.

e student Council
A T the beginning of the year the entire student body elected •^David Colt, Richard Sawyer, Carlos Prentiss, James MacCormick and Francis Chase as the group which has the responsibility of handling those affairs of the students that are not dealt with directly by the faculty.
The Council started their program, in the fall, with a panel discussion on the European Relief Problem. Following this, delegates of the Council were present at the Holderness meeting, at which the majority of New Hampshire private schools were represented, to discuss the "Young America Wants To Help" plan that was gaining much impetus in New York schools. The purpose of this plan was to decide on different methods of aiding the homeless British children.
At the close it was suggested by the group that all the boys and the faculty aid in National Defense by purchasing at least one ten-cent defense stamp each.

Cabin Club
•"PHIS year the cabin, as in the past, has been enjoyed very much by the boys. The new boys are often invited to join the
weekend work trips in order to qualify for their membership. With the help of Robert Engle the boys have been building a fireplace which will make it possible for them to take week-end trips when the weather is too cold for the single stove. W e hope that the fireplace will be finished by next winter when it can be used to good advantage.

Through much diligent work, Mr. and Mrs. Farrell, Mrs. Dresser, and Mr. Park, guided the Players through a great season. At the final meeting of the Players, Mr, Farrell awarded certificates to all members who had participated in two or more plays, and President Carlos-Prentiss presented a short address of thanks to the coaches and cast.

T O U R I N G the five years that have passed since the founding of the Proctor Press, notable changes in its construction have
been introduced. This year marks the second year that the paper has been printed professionally, while previous to 1940 it was published here at the school. The circulation and size of the paper has increased during the past two years, which speaks well for the improved appearance. Six issues were again printed this year, with two publications containing alumni news. A n interesting series of "Book Reviews" met with great success and is destined to be continued in future issues.

\-Jlee K^lub
TOURING the winter term this year the glee club, under the able direction of Mr. Herbert Hooper, our new music teacher, was
organized. The club is composed of 32 boys, consisting of eight first tenors, eight second tenors, eight first basses and eight second basses. This group met twice each week to rehearse the songs it gave at the Baccalaureate service and the gradua
tion in June. The boys in the glee club have shown splendid cooperation
with Mr. Hooper and it is sincerely hoped that this work will continue to greater heights of accomplishment in future years.

T N the summer of 1940 the Academy purchased the Andover Congregational Church which stands on the campus. During
the fall the interior was remodeled into a modern infirmary. Mrs. Malnati, the school nurse, occupied the building in February. The first student to take advantage of the ultra-modern hospital equipment was Robert Davison with a slight cold.

Apart from the business of war
A place where God chose to scatter
The beauty of days gone before.
Old Ragged and Kearsarge both
Have lured our wandering feet
To plunge through their undergrowth
Where hemlock and pine are sweet.
The harmonized tints of fall
Are drugs to our dull city eyes
W e instantly yield to all
This beauty that round us lies.
The soft-powdered snow we pack
And climb to the top of the trail
Then whisk with a cry of "track"
Past comrades answering hail.
The cold seems to have no end
For many months winter is queen;
But one day we find a friend
Has painted the snow banks green.
So much we have learned from books,
And kindly though sedulous guides;
But more from a heart that looks
To hills where no evil hides.
