to
HAROLD H. O W E N
Qy4 Word from Mr. Farrell The Green Lantern is the pictorial and written record of a school year at Proctor. Although everyone is in it, the emphasis is towards each senior class. Essentially it is your book. Moreover, the emphasis in a year book is, inevitably, on the sports, clubs, and activities; groups of people representing shared interests. There is no way in which we can record for you the sincerity with which we have tried to guide you towards manhood. The hours teachers have spent over themes and tests searching for ways to show you how to improve do not appear in the Green Lantern. Your own efforts to learn, to get an education are here only by inference, yet those efforts are the major part of the record. Perhaps we should also have a section for parents, honoring those w h o were able to lend their support to games, plays, and concerts, and paying tribute to the large expense all have been under; to the affectionate interest with which they have followed your progress.
As you turn these pages in years to come, I hope that your memory will bring back the enjoyment of these varied activities. That the succession of faces will recall a word of praise, a generous act, a friendly gesture, perhaps even a probably well-deserved reprimand. I hope that the book will be a permanent reminder of a well-loved school, a group of friends, and a staff whose greatest satisfaction comes from your success here and in the future.

Football This year 25 boys returned to school on
September 15th for football camp captained by
Artie Pratt. A m o n g them were eleven letter-
men, eight former J.V. players, and seven new
boys. The team outlook at the end of football
camp was good, and when the first game came
around the team was ready to go.
First on the schedule was the Vermont
Academy J.V.'s who had a 12 game winning
streak behind them. The game was played on
their field on a very warm day. The Proctor
team started off very strong with Steve Spe
liotis connecting with Pratt in the opening
minutes of the first quarter. This tally was
soon followed by another and it looked like
a field day for the Big Green. As the game
progressed, however, the team began to weak
en. At the end of the first half the score was
13-7 in Proctor's favor. During the second
half both teams fought hard, but in the last
minutes of the half Proctor was unable to
hold out longer, so V. A. went over to win
the game 14-13.
The next game was with Tilton. Many
faults, made the preceding week, were cor
rected and it showed in the game. The whole
team worked together well and Proctor won a
decisive victory with a score of 40-6.
The team then journeyed to Andover, Mas
sachusetts, for a game with Brooks. The team
didn't look good at all during the first half,
because we just couldn't pull ourselves to
gether. At the half the score stood 13-0 in
favor of Brooks, but when Proctor came back
onto the field they seemed to be a complete
ly different team. W e started out by scoring
two touchdowns and were going for a third
when we fumbled, and they received, going
over for a winning touchdown. The final
score was Brooks 19, Proctor 14.
The next game was with Westmount High
School in Montreal. The Proctor team started
out very strong and scored in the first five
minutes. During the whole first half both
teams fought hard and, in the final minutes of
the first half, Westmount scored and took the
lead 7-6. In the second half of the game was a
seesawing battle, again Proctor ran out of gas
and Westmount scored, deciding the game
and keeping the trophy in Canada. Final score:
Westmount 12, Proctor 6.
The following weekend we played host to
the N e w Hampton football team. From the
first minutes of the game to the final minutes
Proctor showed it over weighed and over
powered the N e w Hampton team. The whole
Proctor team worked together and came out
on top 35-10.
Our last game of the season was with our
rival Holderness. W e were their guests and
thought we should be treated as guests, but
the team just couldn't get together to beat the
hosts. The line seemed to be working at top
ability, but still was unable to stop the swift
moving Holderness backfield. The Holderness
team got the jump on us on two of its touch
down passes and so earned another T. D. They
won the game 19-0.
The Proctor Varsity was fortunate in hav
ing as coaches Mr. Wright, Mr. Farrell, and
Mr. J. Camp. Our thanks to them!
The J.V. football team, under the able
direction of Mr. Hatt and Mr. P. Camp, played
four games — losing only to Tilton. They
won victories from Laconia and N e w Hamp
ton and triumphed over Holderness 15-0.

Hockey
For the first time since 1940, hockey was
instituted as a major sport at Proctor. Under
the able coaching of Mr. Wright the team
soon began to take shape, led by Captain
Rulon-Miller. The team had its first game
with Holderness and lost by the small margin
of 2-1. Rulon-Miller started the season by
scoring the only goal. The next game Proctor
took to the ice at N e w Hampton, playing
their J.V.'s at their Winter Carnival. Here
Proctor began to play inspired hockey and
came home with the first win of the season,
2-0, with goals made by Pratt and Rulon-
Miller. O n the following Saturday the N e w
Hampton team came over to the Proctor ice,
and in a very close battle all the way again
Proctor came out on top 3-2, with goals by
Ned Bradley and Pratt. The final game of the
season turned out to be a most unfortunate
game for the Proctor squad. The team played
its last game with its rival Holderness on a
very warm day. Holderness came out on top
this time, 8-0, scoring at least six of the goals
on a play that Proctor just couldn't seem to
stop.
With an even season of two wins and two
losses one can well say that it was well worth
all the time and effort put into getting hockey
started again. A great deal of credit should go
to Mr. Farrell who organized and made plans
for the sport, and to Mr. Burbank and his
forestry and improvement squads for cutting
the logs for the boards. Thanks is also due to
John Rivers and his crew for making the
boards and giving us such wonderful ice. W e
all wish the best of luck to Mr. Wright, Cap
tain-elect Rulon-Miller, and the 1956 hockey
team.
The scores of the games were:
Proctor 1 Holderness 2
Proctor 2 N e w Hampton 0
Proctor 3 N e w Hampton 2

Skit; in ]g Skiing has been, and always will be a major
sport here at Proctor. Within the past five years Proctor has produced champions — including an F. I. S. skier, minor champions, and just plain "bashers." N o matter what happens skiers who have skied at Proctor have a deep love for the sport.
Although the first ski meet was not scheduled until January, preparations for the season started just after Thanksgiving. Rope climbing, and other vigorous exercises in the gym were followed by strenuous cross-country runs. W h e n ski camp opened at Proctor on the first of January the squad was well conditioned.
The first scheduled A team meet with U.N.H.'s Freshman team was cancelled because of poor snow conditions. It was finally held on February 9th on icy slopes with U.N.H.
the winning team. Other dual meets were with
Vermont Academy and Holderness. The A
team also competed in two four-way meets,
coming in second at the Lebanon Winter Car
nival and third in an early February meet
here at Proctor. The A team was glad to have a chance to compete in the Interscholastics at
Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont.
The skiers enjoyed this well-run meet even
though Proctor captured a disappointing
fourth place.
The Proctor B team traveled to Holderness, K. U. A., and Woodstock and succeeded in coming out on top in the first two of these meets. N o account of the ski season is complete
without mention of the superior work done by the Ski Patrol under the direction of Mr. Coolidge. There were five permanent members of the patrol: Bullard, Gill, Goldberg, Munson, and Russell. These boys were given first aid instruction by Mrs. Malnati.
Highlighting the 1955 season was the ski holiday at Cannon Mt. on February 14th. Snow conditions were good, the weather ideal so that the four bus loads of boys and faculty had a most enjoyable day. Special honors and opportunities came to
two ski team members when Dave Hodgkins and Carl Parker were invited to attend the Racing Training Program at Stowe, Vermont. Dave and Carl report the week "beyond all description." The two boys also competed in the Junior Eastern Championships at Lake Placid, N e w York over the week-end of February 5th.
Proctor is proud of her skiers and particularly of the boys who, this year, became Class B skiers. To these three boys, Hodgkins and Quimby, Co-Captains, and Parker and to Coach J. Camp and the 1956 ski teams Proctor wishes the best of fortune.
SAILING SQUAD

Sailing W e sail both in the spring and the fall,
although the spring is our bigger season of
the year. The facilities include a boat house
on Highland Lake, and eight dinghies. Before
each season we sand and paint the boats. In
the spring we make other improvements since
the ice is not usually out when we start spring
sailing. There are generally around twenty
boys out for sailing each season. The boats
take up sixteen boys for crews and skippers.
The remainder of the boys do odd jobs to
improve things in general.
Last fall we had four meets, three of which
we lost. The fourth meet was with the Schools
Sailing Club here on Highland Lake. There
was very little wind, but we sailed very well
and beat them IWA to 44lA.
This spring season started immediately after spring vacation while the ice was still in. W e had two sailing outings before the ice was out. They were both with the Schools Sailing
Club at Marblehead, Massachusetts. W e call these "outings" because we did not keep a definite score. W e had six meets this spring. They were with Nichols Junior College, Exeter, Andover, St. Paul's, and Schools Sailing Club.
The varsity skippers were Duncan Mclnnes, Bob Murdough, Jim Graves — all seniors and Ned Bradley, Commodore, and Charles Nixon. W e hope to develop some of this year's crew members into skippers to take the place of the three varsity skippers w h o will be leaving us.
W e owe our success this year to our two very capable coaches, Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Owen, and to our manager, Frank Coron.

'Baseball, 1955
The 1955 baseball team started the year
with what looked like a winning ball club,
but due to the lack of experienced pitchers
the team suffered badly.
The '55 battery consisted of pitchers Leath
ern and Leighton and reliefs Nash and Bill
Shaw, with Quimby behind the plate. The in
field consisted of all underclassmen except
Jones who did a fine job at short stop and
w h o m we shall miss next year. Bob Goldberg,
also a senior, played third base although Carl
Parker started in most of the games. The
other fielders were: Sumner Rulon-Miller,
Mike Nash, Pete Moulton, Captain Bill Shaw,
Bill Gilmore, and Dave Hodgkins. The team
played its first game with the Tilton J.V.'s
and lost a close one 4-3 with T o m Leighton
pitching a fine game. The next game was with
the Brewster nine. With the great pitching
of Windy Leathern, Proctor held them to a
margin of two runs, the final score being
6-4. Proctor then went to play our rival Hol
derness and, due to a lucky break, Holderness
sneaked by with the game 4-3. O n May 7th
the Proctor Nine journeyed to K.U.A. where
poor pitching and many errors enabled K.U.A.
to walk away with a score of 14-4. Proctor met
Holderness on our own field on a nice sunny
Wednesday afternoon with king size bats, but
failed again to bring home the bacon by los
ing 6-0. The next game was with Brewster.
Proctor went ahead in the first few innings
but could not keep clear of the Brewster bats
as they had a fifteen run rally to take the
game 15-4. Proctor, after this game, hit the
road to play N e w Hampton. The team was
due to win a game and, in the first inning, all
nine batters felt the ball to go ahead 5-0. From
then on the hungry Proctor batters pounded
in 18 runs to win 18-2. The following Wed
nesday N e w Hampton journeyed to Proctor
on a cloudy day. The Proctor bats again re
sponded and at the end of five innings the
score was 6-0. Then the game was stopped be
cause of rain. The final game on Commence
ment afternoon was a great joy to Captain
Bill Shaw as his team defeated K.U.A. by a
score of 11-9.
To look over the score board the Proctor
win-lose record doesn't look too good, but
even though the team had a bad season, every
body showed fine spirit all year. Much credit
must be given to the staff of coaches: Mr.
John Camp, Mr. Caron, Mr. Wright, and Mr.
Peter Camp who is new on the staff and a
big help. W e regret to hear that Mr. Caron
will be leaving us next year and we will all
miss his valuable coaching on the Varsity.
The J.V. baseball team and the J.J.V.'s had
successful seasons, measuring by their resound
ing defeats of Holderness. Some good players
of next year's varsity are in the making on
these teams.

Varsity Tennis, 1955
After beating Tilton and Holderness with
comparative ease the Varsity Tennis Team
has run up against some formidable teams
and found the going a bit rough. O n Satur
day, April 30th we played Brooks on our own
courts. Artie Pratt, playing in the number one
position, was up against the former Tennes
see tennis champion and was beaten 6-1, 6-4.
All the rest of our players lost also except
Stu Riley, who was playing number two and
beat his man 6-1, 6-4, and Sandy Weld w h o
won 6-4, 7-5. The doubles were a failure for
our team.
We then journeyed down to Phillips An
dover Academy to play their J.V.'s. In singles
we lost all our matches but in doubles Sandy
Weld and John Bradley won their match
leaving the total score in their favor 8-1.
After the defeats which had come upon us
we were determined to beat Holderness. Artie
Pratt lost his match after a long and grinding
duel, 6-3, 6-3. Stu Riley won his match while
Dave Hawley was also winning his. Bob
Bunim lost his match, but Sandy Weld won
his third match with a high score. N o doubles
were played. The final score was a tie, 3-3.
Then came the hardest contest of all against
Exeter, the best prep school tennis team in the
East. Although our team played hard and well,
we lost all six matches.
O n May 18th the Vermont Academy team
came to Proctor for a match. Our boys knew
they would be up against stiff competition
and played accordingly. The result was a
somewhat surprising but very enjoyable vic
tory, 7-2.
Pratt, Hawley, Riley, and Weld went to the
N e w England Interscholastics at Exeter on
May 20th, where they were up against the best
tennis players in the region. W e lost our
matches but gained much valuable experience,
for the next day, May 21st, we entertained
Tilton at Proctor and downed them 7-2.
The J.V. team played some hard matches
and had a successful season because they de
feated Holderness 5-4. Mr. Hatt and Mr. Mac-
Farlane were most helpful in bringing the
two tennis teams along.

The Proctor Players
This school year an eager group of pro
spective actors gathered together in the late
fall to choose the play that would be presented
to the school during winter carnival. The play
chosen was: "You Can't Take It With You,"
a highly amusing comedy by Moss Hart and
George S. Kaufman.
The preliminary work on the play didn't
begin until about four weeks before Christmas
vacation with all the trial readings for the
parts. The cast was announced just before
Thanksgiving, and the parts were handed out
to be taken home and studied. Real rehearsals
didn't start until after Christmas.
Rehearsal after rehearsal followed with time
and tempers growing short. Jonathon Fisher,
who had the lead part, couldn't seem to realize
that time was running out, much to the an
noyance of our director. However, under the
able leadership of Mr. Owen, the play went
off without a hitch, and it did us proud.
The play opens in the living room of Mar
tin Vanderhof (Jonathan Fisher), firm be
liever in non-conformity, who tries to convert
other people to his way of thinking. At that
moment, Mrs. Penelope Sycamore (Mrs.
Phelps), Martin's daughter, is doing what
she likes more than anything else in the
world. She is writing a play — her eleventh. Comfortably ensconced in what is affectionately known as Mother's Corner, she is pounding away on a typewriter perched precariously on a rickety card table. Also on the table is one of those plaster of Paris skulls ordinarily used as an ash tray, but which serves Penelope as a candy jar. And, because Penny likes companionship, there are two kittens on the table, busily lapping at a saucer of milk.
Also living under this rather shaky roof is Rheda, the colored maid (David Bliss); Paul (David Gill), Penny's husband and a manu
facturer of illegal fireworks; Ed Carmichael,
ardent musician and printer (Richard Dahl
gren), and his wife Essie, a ballet dancer
(Mrs. Peter C a m p ) ; Alice Sycamore (Mrs.
Wright), who is in love with a young man
from the outside world. Last, but by no means
least Frank Coron as Mr. DiPinna was enter
taining as a partner in the fireworks business.
As you can see this combination of people,
with the supporting cast, were an extremely
entertaining group. The play, given during
the Carnival week-end, was enjoyed immensely
by all present. All of us players would like
to thank Mr. Owen, Mr. and Mrs. Peter Camp,
Mrs. Phelps, and Mrs. Wright without w h o m
the play would never have been done right.

Hail to Westmount O n October 23rd, for the fifth time, the
Proctor Academy Football Team left for Mon
treal on a Boston and Maine bus, to play the
annual football game with our friendly rival,
Westmount High. The team arrived that after
noon and were introduced to hosts and host
esses. Everybody enjoyed the wonderful Fall
Dance put on by Westmount and afterwards
had an enjoyable week-end until the game
was played.
Proctor, with the game of last year in mind,
started off as if they were going to keep up
the winning streak, scoring a touchdown in
quick order, with Weld going over for the six
points. Westmount, however, retaliated with a
touchdown and the extra point, thus leading
at the half 7-6. After the first half the wonder
ful week-end was too much for the Proctor
team and they had to give up the game to
the quick and fast running Westmount team
12-6.
Holding up the tradition the Westmount
Ski Team came to Proctor with a mixed team
of girls and boys accompanied by Mr. Bartlett,
the principal, Mr. and Mrs. Lawley, and Miss
Macmillan. Because of the lack of snow at
Proctor, Mr. Farrell arranged for both ski
teams to go to Cannon Mountain. There every
body had a grand time and due to "Lu Lu"
losing the stop watch, we had even a better
time.
The Westmount ski team left on Sunday
with Carl Parker and Bob Murdough keep
ing up the international relations to the very
end. Thus ended the 1954-1955 exchange of
visits between our Canadian friends and us.
May these visits always continue!

Brief Remarks by an Anxious Father
To His Teen-age Son About to Drive
-X -X
In return for the keys to the car, you're in for three minutes of hard listening. First, you might as well know now that any infraction of the rules that you had to learn to pass your test will mean the end of your permission to drive. The hazards of the road are serious enough when you obey all the regulations. Nobody has a right to multiply the risk.
The rules of the road and some mechanical ability are important, but no more important than your attitude and sense of responsibility. The distorted attitude of some drivers toward the law, toward themselves or toward other living things is what makes the automobile our No. 1 killer. It's up to you to maintain the right attitude as a driver, but be constantly on guard for those w h o don't or won't. The "other fellow" has to be on your mind all the time.
Regard and treat your car as what it is: a complicated mechanism designed to get you where you're going with a minimum of effort on your part. It is not a fast-moving toy, or a means to express feelings of power or superiority, or a stage on which to show off — except maybe your maturity, alertness and conscientiousness. While you're at the wheel you must never give way to anger, or impatience, or undue hurry, or absent-mindedness, or fatigue, or a stupid impulse to show some idiot that you aren't "chicken."
Courtesy is one ingredient which makes everyday life pleasurable. For a driver, courtesy is the factor which makes life possible.
This car you will drive cost a lot of money. T o buy it required financial sacrifice. It takes more sacrifice to keep it running. Your mother and I had to assume financial and moral responsibility for your actions in it before you got your license. W e carry some expensive insurance to protect us and you. Just the same, a thoughtless or rash move on your part could mean ruin for us. Juries pour it on reckless drivers.
Even more important are the human factors involved. Our good name and personal honor rest on your shoulders as well as ours — never more so than when you're driving our car. I'll spare you any faltering attempts to express the love your mother and I bear for you or our constant concern for your safety. Just keep in mind that everybody is loved by someone — I mean the person driving with you, or behind you, or in front, or on foot in the path of your car.
A lot of responsibility to hand out, isn't it? A measure of the way we feel about you is that we're glad and proud to say, "Take the car keys and have a good time!"
