6 THE GREEN LANTERN

RANDOLPH L. HARLOW, A. B.

Andover, N. H.

Harvard University, 1909; Submaster.

Mr. Harlow is one of the best friends that we have had while we have been at Proctor, and he has commanded the respect of every one of us. The patience and interest that he shows in his classes

is alone an inspiration to those who are studying under his tutelage.

CAROLYN F. H A R L O W

Andover, N. H.

Provincial Normal School, 1898; Lower School.

One has only to attend one of the recitations in Mrs. Harlow's classroom to understand the admiration and love for her that is enjoyed by the pupils of the Lower School. She puts her whole soul into her work, and the results are most certainly remarkable.

ELAINE C. EASTMAN, A. B.

Andover, N. H.

Bates, 1913; Latin.

Mrs. Eastman's greeting is always cheery, and her classes seem to exemplify that same spirit. She is well-liked by her pupils for the interesting way in which she teaches Latin and she is always ready to devote extra time to helping her pupils, when they need or desire it.

THE GREEN LANTERN 7

LYLE H. P A R R E L L , A. B.

Manchester, N. H.

New Hampshire University, 1929; English; Football; Ice Hockey and Baseball Coach.

Lyle has certainly developed some very good athletic teams during his two years as coach. The football and ice hockey teams produced the goods in a justifiable manner under his direction.

It is still the ambition of the boys in Gannett House to acquire his good nature and ability. W e shall certainly miss you, Lyle, but it will always

be a great pleasure to come back and renew old relations.

W I L B U R M. FAT"

Laconia, N. H.

Wentworth Institute; Practical Arts.

The "Proctor Forge" is still one of the outstanding features of the courses at Proctor, due to Wilbur's creative interest in the Practical Arts Department.

Many very practical products have been turned out of the shop this year, but the feature of the year was "Joe Practical Arts." It certainly was a masterpiece!

H A Z E L C. F A Y

Laconia, N. H.

Plymouth Normal School, 1925; Middle School.

Mrs. Fay has done some great work in the Middle School this year. Under her direction a paper known as "Junior Life" was introduced in the English Department. It was a great success and the pupils have taken a great interest in its make-up.

She has had a great interest in the orchestra this year, and has helped make it a success with her ability

as a violinist. W e shall certainly miss you, Mrs. Fay, and shall

always welcome a renewal of acquaintances.

8 THE GREEN LANTERN

JEROME T. LIGHT, A. B.

Andover, N. H.

Antioch, 1926; Science, Advanced Mathematics.

Mr. Light has most certainly proved himself to be a very capable instructor during his two years at Proctor.

The students in his classes have tried through the entire courses to find loop-holes in his statements, but have been unsuccessful. Such is the calibre of his teaching. His decision and experimental systems in educational

science have been of great interest in his classes. W e shall miss you and your experiments next year, Jerry, but shall always deem it a pleasure to come back and resume our friendship.

GLADYS E. M A C P H E E , B. S.

Bristol, N. H.

Simmons, 1916; Domestic Arts.

Mrs. MacPhee has proven herself to be an able coach of dramatics this year. "The Trysting Place" was presented under her direction and was a great success. In the first part of the year, she had charge of the library, and put in a lot of good work there, only to have her efforts go up in the smoke of the school building. Under her supervision the study periods have improved greatly this year in respect to discipline and freedom from disturbance.

ALICE L. MURDOCH, A. B.

Newton Highlands, Mass.

Radcliffe, 1909; Sorbonne, 1924; French and Spanish.

Mrs. Murdoch's ability as a teacher is attested by the attention and interest shown by the members of her French and Spanish classes. We, who have studied the languages under her instruction, deem it a real privilege to have studied under her. She is ever ready and happy to take us anywhere in her Chrysler or in her beach wagon, whether it be to go swimming, to the movies, home for a week-end, or a vacation.

THE GREEN LANTERN 9

ELEANOR R, YOUNG

Boise, Idaho.

New England Conservatory of Music; Organist; Instructor of Music.

Miss Young had to leave us at the beginning of the Spring term due to the illness of her mother. W e certainly were sorry to have her go, as we enjoyed the results of her musical accomplishments and always enjoyed her cheerful presence. W e hope to see you again, Miss Young, as we will

always have a fond place in our hearts for you.

ROGER W. CROUCH, B. H.

Greenfield, Mass.

Springfield, 1925; Middle School.

Mr. Crouch is the ruling hand in the Middle School classroom. One has only to visit one of his classes to understand the respect that the boys have for him.

He has also been a great friend to the boys in the Upper School. Always being willing to carry the boys to Franklin or to Concord, regardless of the weather conditions. W e have certainly appreciated your generosity, Mr. Crouch, and shall look forward to seeing you on our visits to Proctor.

JOHN W. FELLOWS, A. B.

Newton, Mass.

Harvard, 1930; History, Algebra, Basketball Coach.

Mr. Fellows came to us directly from Harvard University. His good-natured sportsmanship has helped him win the friendship of all of us. W e have enjoyed your piano playing as well as your

classes, Jack, and wish you success and the best of luck in the future.

ARTHUR R. SADLER Hopedale, Mass. "Pat"; "Art"

Entered 1929 College—Bowdoin Class President (4) ; Editor-in-Chief of Year Book (4) ; Associate Editor (3); Football (3) (4); Hockey (3) (4) ; Student Council (4) ; A. A. Fair Committee (3) (4); Proctor Players (3) (4); Secretary (4); Glee Club (3) 4); Double Quartet (3) (4); Varsity Club Minstrel Show (3); Varsity Club (4); Junior Marshall (3); Senior Dance and Play Committee (4). Pat's two years here have been eventful both for

him and for us. He has entered whole-heartedly into all the activities of the school, and made his presence felt wherever he has been.

ROBERT H. BRIGGS Taunton, Mass.

"Bob"; "The Major" Entered 1928 College—Duke

Class Vice-President (2) (4); Student Council (2) (3); Clerk (3); Varsity Club (4); Hockey (2) (3) (4); A. A. Fair Committee (2) (3) (41; Proctor Players (4); Orchestra (2) (4); Glee Club (2); Green Lantern Staff (3) (4); Junior Marshal (3); Senior Dance Committee (3) (4). The Major, he of the peculiar walk, has been our

chief source of amusement for three years. His dry humor, cropping up in unexpected places, has afforded us lots of fun. Occasionally, he comes out of his lethargy, and plays hockey like a streak of chain lightning.

W A R W I C K WICKS Indianapolis, Ind.

" Wixie" Entered 1927 College—U. of Indiana

Class Treasurer (4); Football (2) (3) (4); Varsity Club (3) (4); Glee Club (2) (3) (4); Double Quartet (3) (4); Orchestra (2) (3) (4); A. A. Fair Committe (2) (4); Varsity Club Minstrel Show (3); Proctor Players (3) (4); Cast "Station Y Y Y " (2); (4). Wixie is our exemplification of the "hale fellow,

well met." His ready wit and effervescent humor have afforded us many good laughs. When he is on the football field, everything of his usual jollity vanishes, and he becomes a solid bulwark in the line. It was a rare occasion indeed when someone broke through. Wixie is always dressed up to the minute, and is forever startling the populace of Andover, with his dazzling color combinations.

KATHERINE M. MACKENZIE Andover, N. H.

" K " Entered 1927

Basketball (1) (2) (3); Hockey (2) (3) (4); Secretary of Class (4) ; Secretary of Athletic Council (3). Give Katherine a hockey stick or a basketball and

watch her go. Nothing ever seems to trouble her. We've guessed the reason whj'. It's because she has so many friends. Come back and see us, Katherine.

THE GREEN LANTERN 13

JOHN J. BERTAGNA Wilmot, N. H. ' 'Johnny"

Entered 1927 College—Wentworth

Football (1) (2) (3) (4). Johnny is one of our strong silent men. His very

presence on the football field, smiling and calm, seemed to impart a sense of security. He has been the mainstay of our line for four years now. And how he hits 'em. We defy anyone to hurt him. Nor is his prowess confined alone to the gridiron. John is our mathematical wizard, as well as a physicist of no mean ability. Above all, who can forget that famous Bertagna sniile, characteristic of his tribe. FREDERICK J. CARTER

Andover, N. H. "Deke"; "Plug"; "Freddie"

Entered 1927 Football (1) (2) (3) (4); Captain (4); Basketball (1) (2) (3) (4); Captain (4); Baseball (1) (2) (3) (4); Proctor Athletic Association President (3) (4); Green Lantern Staff (3). Deke is our star athlete. His nickname, "Plug",

acquired during the football season is well deserved. As a punter, a line plunger, for a long run around end or in the capacity of captain, his name meant danger. For four years he has played varsity guard on the basketball team. On the baseball team he has held down first base for several years. Not only in athletics is he popular, his good nature alone would suffice to fix him permanently in our memories. DOROTHY M. CROUSE

Wilmot Flat, N. H. "Dot"

Entered 1927 International Amity Club (1) (2) (3) (4).

Quiet, studious and a good friend to everyone, that's Dorothy. And why? Because she never takes sides with anyone. That's the way to win and keep friends. Dot. Good luck to you in whatever you attempt to do. RUSSELL E. DIMERY

"Special" North Andover, Mass.

"Rus"; "Dim"; "Professor" Entered 1930 College—Tufts

Football (5); Varsity Club (5); Cast "The Trysting Place" (5); Proctor Players (5). The Professor is our recognized authority on Physics.

His word is law—either Boyle's Law, Lenz's Law, or Ohms Law. He's a quiet studious chap, but when he don's feminine clothing and make-up, Julian Eltinge has nothing on him. Li "The Trysting Place," he took the part of a middle-aged widow to perfection. In addition to these he played through the season as varsity end on the football team.

LUCIUS S. HART Wolfeboro, N. H. "Luke"; "Lutie"

Entered 1930 Football (4).

Luke first put in his appearance this year and was immediately seized upon to play football. His great bulk and brawn were put to good use in the line. Before he came to Proctor he went to school and played football at Brewster Academy, one of our arch enemies in sport. It was a great day for Luke when we played at Brewster. He went through the game like a madman, breaking up plays and blocking kicks with a vengeance.

CLAYTON R. HURLBUT Putnam, Conn.

'' Clayt"; " Sugar'' Entered 1929

College—M. I. T. Football (3) (4); Hockey (3) (4); Captain (4); Tennis (4) ; A. A. Fair Committee (3) ; Chairman (4) ; Varsity Club (3) (4). In spite of the slightness of his build, Clayt plays

a mighty good game of football. He held down the quarterback's post during the 1930 football season, and was Captain of the hockey team. There is yet another claim to renown attached to Clayt's name. He receives an inch thick letter, daily from the light of his life, and on those rare occasions when he does miss one, he mopes about in the darkest gloom. WILLIAM A. KIRK, P. G.

"Bill" Entered 1930 College—Tufts

Bill has been with us only one year, and his quiet nature has kept him out of the limelight, but he enters into the philosophical discussions of the English 5 group with great fervor, and presents many sound ideas which show depth of thought. Good luck, Bill. We'll see you up with Kant and Spinoza yet.

ASHLEY H. KNOWLTON Wilmot Flat, N. H.

"Ash" Entered 1927

Ashley comes to school in a new car every week. .We can't figure out, yet, where he got them all, but the fact is, he most assuredly does. His talent as a drawer of domestic animals will, someday, be recognized by the world of wit. Ashley's good humor and his smiling "Hoy thar" has brightened us up many times and we can't help admiring his earnestness and his propensity for hard work.


Hockey (2) (3) (1); Class Day

JESSIE i. MACKENZIE Andover, N. H.

" J " Entered 1927

Basketball (1) (2) (3); Captain (3); (4); Student Council (3); Choir Committee (4); International Amity (1) (2) (3)

(4). Jessie has gained a place for herself in our highest

esteem by her excellent combination of social and athletic ability. She has a smile for everyone no matter who they are or where they are from.

J O H N R. M I L E S Canton, N. Y. '' Johnny"

Entered 1929 College—St. Lawrence

Basketball (3) (4); Manager (4); Football (3); International Amity Club (3) (4); Vice-President (4); Proctor Players (3) (4); Secretary (3); A. A. Fair Committee (3); Cast "Captain Applejack" (3); "In the Next R o o m " (4). Johnny has held down the lead in several of our drama

tic productions, and has acquitted himself nobly. He is the lesser half of the only couple remaining from the days of co-education. He's a real "Johnny on the Spot" whether it be to give Mandy Lee a bath, or to perform on the stage or the basketball floor.

IRENE T. POWERS Potter Place, N. H.

"Rena" Entered 1926

International Amity Club (1) (2) (3) (4). Although Irene is so quiet that we would not know

she was around, we would miss her if she were absent. W e can easily see her disposition when she just smiles back to cross teacher perhaps.

R O B E R T F. PRENTISS Burlington, Vt.

" B o b " Entered 1931

College—U. of Vt. Basketball (4).

Bob arrived in February, 1931, from Burlington and immediately joined the basketball squad. He thought he had a large capacity for food, but after the sixth egg, four cups of coffee, four doughnuts, a steak and several glasses of water, he gave up.

GREEN LANTERN

DONALD F. QUIMBY Lowell, Mass.

"Don"; "Quim" Entered 1927

College—Antioch Class President (1); Student Council (3) (4)-;'Chairman (4) ; Commencement Speaker (4) ; Class Prophecy (4); President Gannett House (3) (4-); Football (1) (2) (3) (4); Captain (3); Basketball (1) (2) (3); Baseball (1) (2); Glee Club (2) (3) (4); Double Quartet (2) (3) (4); Orchestra (2) (3) (4); Undergraduate Speaker at Senior Banquet (2) ; Varsity Club (3) (4); Varsity Club Minstrel. Show (3); Pioetor Players (3) (4); President (4); Cast "Captain Applejack" (3); "She Stoops to Conquer" (3) ; "Allison's L a d " (3). "Quim's" four years here have been chock full.

Every fall he has starred on the gridiron. On the basketball court, he was equally dangerous. " Q u i m " has been an able Chairman of the Student Council and none of us will forget his violin solos in church and in chapel. He is also our foremost "leading man".

ELLEN M. RAYNO Wilmot Flat, N. H.

Entered 1927 International Amity Club (1) (2) (3) (4); Hockey

(4); Dance Committee (1 (2) (4); Basketball (1) (3); Class Vice-President (1); Class Will (4). If you want a cheery word or smile, go to Ellen. If

you want some help or advice, go to Ellen. It doesn't seem as though she had any time left for studies after doing all she is asked to do, which she does with a smile. She has won her way to our hearts by her good disposition and winning smile.

I. HAZEL RICHARDSON Salisbury, N. H. Entered 1927

International Amity Club (1) (2) (3) (4); Hockey Manager (3) ; Choir (2). Hazel is one of those quiet girls who minds her own

business and attends to studying. W e are glad that she is going to graduate witli us in spite of her absence during the Winter term.

HUGH W. SANBORN Salisbury, N. H.

'' Hughy'' Entered 1927 Baseball (4).

Hughy is a debater par excellence. His thunderous tones, ringing through the chapel, in the heat of debate, are memorable beyond measure. He is also known for his sartorial perfection. What a furore those spats created! Hugh's scholastic record has been consistently high during his four years here.


H E N R Y R. SAWYER North Wilmot, N. H.

Entered 1927 College—N. H. U.

Football (1) (2) (3) (4); Basketball (3) (4); Class History (4). Henry is certainly there with the goods when it

comes to playing football. He played a sterling game at center this year, being one of the mainstays of the line.

Henry is also a very good elocutionist. A debate with Henry participating is bound to be of interest.

M U R R A Y E. SMITH East Andover, N. H.

Entered 1927 Baseball Manager (2); Baseball (4).

Murray Smith is a dapper young individual, who has been in school for four years. His particular passion seems to be in driving cars, although the avidity with which he devours Spanish is scarcely less. His athletic interests seem to be confined to baseball but he goes after that with enthusiasm.

OCTAVIA J. STEARNS Wilmot Flat, N. H.

1' Tavy'' Entered 1927

Basketball (2) (3); Hockey (2) (3) (4); International Amity Club (1) (2) (3) (4); Class Day Parts Committee. Studious and busy, that's Oetavia. But she's never

too busy but what she has a pleasant word and smile for everyone. Perhaps she is better known as "Tavy". She makes a good pal or friend for anyone. The best part of it is, that she is a good friend to everyone.

ERNEST E. T O W N E New London, N. H.

"Towney" Entered 1929

Football (4); Basketball (3) (4); Baseball (3); Class Secretary-Treasurer (3). Towney, one of the New London boys, has made him

self very popular during his two years here. Not that he has ever tiled to gain popularity, but personality and good qualities are bound to come out, in spite of one's natural reticence. He is an accomplished athlete, playing in the backfield on the football team, forward on the basketball team and second base on the baseball team. Besides this, he has been consistently near the top of the Honor Roll for two years.

JOHN F. TUCKER Medfield, Mass. '' Tommy"

Entered 1929 College—Antioch

A. A. Fair Committee (3) (4); Glee Club (3); Proctor Players (3) (4); Hockey (4); Manager (4); Green Lantern Staff (4) ; Varsity Club (4) ; Varsity Club Minstrel Show (3); Cast "The Trysting Place". Tommy, with his golden locks and his wide grin made

a place in our hearts the moment we saw him. His renown as a magician, soon established, is second only to his name as a lady-killer. That he has his serious side, as well, would be soon discovered by listening to one of his scientific or philosophical arguments, or glancing at one of his radio sets. BENJAMIN F. TYLER

Hyde Park, Mass. "Ben"; Benjy" Entered 1929

Football (3) (4); Hockey (3) (4); Tennis (4); Varsity Club (3) (4) ; Varsity Club Minstrel Show (3) ; Proctor Players (3) (4); Cast "Allison's Lad"; Glee Club (3) (4); President, Internationa] Amity Club (4). Benjy has played tackle on the football team for two

years, and, believe you us, he was bad news. Unless he got his feet snarled up with the ball, he took out his man, two men on each side of him and everyone within a radius of twenty feet, felt the breeze. When he checked 'em in hockey they stayed checked. Ben is a l>ig man at Colby too. In fact he's a big man wherever he goes. LELAND E. WELCH

New London, N. H. Entered 1930

Leland is one of these quiet, diminutive young chaps. He doesn't usually say a great deal, but you can figure that when he does it's worth hearing. When he is walking across the campus you can hardly

tell from a distance whether he is carrying a bag or a trunk. It can't be that those books all belong to you, Leland! Here's wishing you good luck and success for the future, Leland!

This year the Middle School alone has twenty-two pupils. Last year, in

cluding the Lower School, there were thirty-one. If we include the Lower

School this year we will find thirty-eight pupils.

W e in the Middle School have been busy this year in the Manual Training

work. W e have been making model airplanes, boats, miniature golf sets and

many other things.

W e have been having quite a bit of music this year also. Every Fri

day we listen to the radio and hear Walter Damrosh and then we take tests on

the program afterward. This is very good practice in learning about the

different instruments.


The Mandolin Club lias been getting along very well considering that

we started it recently. W e also have singing every clay and have sung several

times in the church choir. W e have sung in the music program in the chapel, too.

W e found the morning hours too short so now we have an afternoon

class added. In this period the Eighth Grade has History and the Seventh

Grade has additional Arithmetic. That period lasts forty minutes and in the

remaining twenty minutes, optional French is given. In this French class

there are about eighteen pupils.

In arithmetic the eighth grade pupils go to Gannett House to Mr. Harlow.

W e used to go to the School Building before the fire, but now we meet in

the Physics laboratory.

The students of the Middle School have shown very sincere cooperation.

Never really in the history of the Junior School has there been such a unified

spirit. The attitude has changed completely.

W e have a new school room this year which has helped us tremendously

to change the spirit. The Language or Grammar this year has been done very thoroughly.

The Seventh and Eighth Grades have been doing a block book which gives

all parts of speech, all parts of the sentences. In English wc have the writ

ing of stories. At least one story a week is required.

In English we have also a very important factor. It is the School Paper

by name "Junior Life". This year the paper was a great success. W e made

linoleum block prints for the covers. If the stories that are written each

week are good enough they are put into the paper.

In sports the .Middle School has a recess every day. W c go down to the

gymnasium if the weather is bad and have organized games. If the weather

is fair we go out doors and play baseball or whatever sport the season brings.


The Lower School

Peter W. Branch Sheila Carr Warren S. Conlon Frederick Everdean Virginia M. Gray David B. Green Thelma E. Harding Waj^ne G. Harding

Betty Ann Harlow Joy S. Harlow Roland E. Pierce, Jr. Ann E. Schively Roberta B. Smith Barbara W. Stone Ruth Anna Stone Wesley G. Webster

The pupils of the Lower School have had a pleasant, profitable year. In

most subjects the majority of them had completed the year's work at the end of the winter term, leaving the last term for review.

Our work in Geography and History has the understanding and sym

pathetic knowledge of the peoples of other nations as its principle aim. This

is accomplished through story, song, personal contact where possible, reading

of reference books, as well as the study of maps, geographies and histories.

Following the study last year of Japan, Holland and France in this way, we

have taken up our neighbor, Mexico, this year. Great interest was shown,

fine collection of articles and pictures from there made, a number of songs

learned and stories read. All were delighted to have a visit from a youn°-

woman who had spent nine years in Mexico and who could tell many inter-


esting things about the country as well as answer many questions asked her.

A friendly feeling towards Mexico has certainly been established.

W e are now studying the Colonial Period of our own country, having

previously studied the Aboriginal Period and the Period of Discovery. Again

much interest is shown. The walls of our school room are covered with col

onial pictures and posters, many made by the pupils themselves. Interesting

books of that period are on the tables and read by the pupils when time al

lows. This study will be closed by a cantata, " Y e Little Old Folks' Concert."

A happy home atmosphere prevails, the pupils helping each other in the

work as well as conduct. The school is "ours" and can be carried on for a

time without the teacher if necessary. The spirit of helpfulness is stronger

than that of rivalry. Because of the varied program of music, practical arts, dramatics, danc

ing, French and athletics as well as the common school subjects, each pupil

has a chance to work where he is strong, thus giving him confidence for the

work that is difficult for him.

Good progress has been made in music, which consists of rhythmic danc

ing, orchestra, ear training, singing and music appreciation.

In athletics the ability to be a good loser has been well cultivated.

The work in practical arts also has made good progress.

Football

When candidates were called for by Coach Farrell and Manager Tolles,

a good number of veterans and a few new players reported.

Among the veterans were Freddie "Plug" Carter, Don Quimby, Dick

Parker, "Johnnie" Bertagna, Clayton Hurlbut, "Maud" Mueller, Warwick

Wicks, Ben Tyler, Henry Sawyer, and "Tubber" Knowlton. Foremost among

the new men were "Luke" Hart, Jack Ruege, "Tim" Thompson, "Professor"

Dimery, Ernest Towne, and Harry Rivers. After two weeks of strenuous

work, we were ready for our first game.

PROCTOR VS. LEBANON

The Lebanon game was a test for the whole squad. Each man got his

chance to play. Lebanon had a light fast team with some tricky plays.

Nevertheless Proctor defeated them. Proctor 13, Lebanon 6.

PROCTOR vs. KIMBALL UNION ACADEMY

This game, as usual, was a hard one. K. U. A. had a heavier and more

experienced team. However, the Proctor team worked well together. The

final score was K. IT. A. 19, Proctor 0.

PROCTOR VS. PLYMOUTH

This was the first game away from home. After the hard game of the

week before, the team "let down" a little. "Maud" Mueller made some long


end runs which gained a lot of ground for Proctor. Score: Proctor 12, Plymouth 0.

After the Plymouth game Frederick Carter was elected Captain of the

Team by a unanimous vote. "Plug" has turned in four years of superior football.

PROCTOR VS. HOLDERNESS

Our good friend, Coach Beck, brought his "boys" down to play us. The

game started off with a bang. Don Quimby, true to form, intercepted a pass

and scored for Proctor. The rest of the quarter was uneventful. Then Hold

erness came back too strong for us and scored several times in the remainder

of the game. Nevertheless, Proctor was the only team which was able to

score against Holderness this year. W e lost "Maud" Mueller due to injury.

The score was Proctor 6, Holderness 33.

PROCTOR VS. BREWSTER

"Luke" Hart was the outstanding man in this game. Much interest

was shown in him by the Brewster team. The off tackle plays worked beau

tifully. W e won 18 to 0.

PROCTOR VS. PINKERTON

This game was rather unfortunate for Proctor. W e lost Captain Carter

and Don Quimby to the injured list. W e couldn't "get going". Needless

to say, we lost. Pinkerton 21, Proctor 7.

PROCTOR VS. ST. JOSEPH

The last game for many of the boys. Captain Carter, John Bertagna,

Clayton Hurlburt, Warwick Wicks, Ben Tyler, Henry Sawyer, Lucius Hart,

Russell Dimery, and Ernest Towne all played their last game for Proctor.

The game was not all that it could have been but we won. Proctor 28, St.

Joseph 13. W e owe much to Coach Farrell for his good sportsmanship and hard

work with us. The season was officially ended with a Banquet for the letter

men.

Hockey

When Coach Farrell called out the hockey squad this year several candi

dates were on hand to uphold the reputation of Proctor. In addition much

new material reported so a good team was put on the ice.

The team was handicapped by much snow during the season. With the

willing aid of some of the boys that were not out for hockey the team was

able to keep the ice clean so that daily practice was held. Weather condi

tions prevented playing our final games with Holderness and Tilton.

The first team was soon whipped into shape, consisting of the following:

Captain, Hurlbut; Chase, Briggs, Parker, Tyler, Sadler.

PROCTOR 0 — N E W H A M P T O N 0

Our first game was with New Hampton, which resulted in a scoreless tie.

A very slow game was played due to the poor ice. Neither goalies had a great

deal of work to do as it was difficult to make shots owing to the light coat of

snow that was on the ice. Hurlbut made several solo dashes up the ice to

ward the close of the game only to lose the puck in the soft snow when he

neared the cage.

STEARNS 11—PROCTOR 1

The hockey team traveled to Mont Vernon to play Stearns School in

their next contest. The Stearns' sextet peppered Sadler, the goalie with


shots and put the game practically on ice in the first period by shooting six

shots into the Proctor nets. Capt. Sherwood of the Stearns' team scored ten

goals, Kinney gathering the other point. In the last quarter Hurlbut on one

of his solo dashes up the ice shot the only Proctor score of the game.

PROCTOR 7—K. IT. A. 1

Proctor, in its first home contest, easily defeated K. II. A. Hurlbut and

Briggs were the stars of this game, the former scoring four goals, the latter

two, while Paine scored the final goal. Cockran, center ice man for K. U. A.,

put a shot past Sadler in the closing minutes of the game, which accounted

for K. U. A.'s only score.

STEARNS 7—PROCTOR 1

Stearns took us into camp once more in the return game at Andover.

Sherwood was again the star of the game, gathering five goals. Atwood and

Kinney scored the other goals for Stearns.

Hurlbut scored the lone Proctor goal.

PROCTOR 4—K. IT. A. 0

Our next game away from home was played at K. IT. A.'s winter carnival

at Meridan during a snow storm which slowed the game up considerably.

Proctor was able, however, to put four goals past Abbot, the K. U. A. goalie.

Parker was the star of this game, scoring two unassisted goals. Briggs and Paine scored the remaining goals.

N E W H A M P T O N 4—PROCTOR 3

What proved to be the final and most exciting game of the season was the game with New Hampton on our rink.

At the close of the third period the teams were deadlocked, both scoring

two goals during the required minutes of play. At the close of the first ten

minute overtime period, the teams were still at a 2-2 deadlock. In the middle

of the second overtime period, New Hampton scored two goals. Hurlbut,

Briggs and Chase in combination took the puck in the final face-off, and

Hurlbut taking a pass from Briggs scored the third Proctor goal. Briggs

scored the other two goals for Proctor in the early part of the game. Proc

tor with five men up the ice in the final minutes of play tried valiantly to tie the score, but was unsuccessful.


Basketball

On January 5, 1931, candidates for the basketball team were called for

by our new coach, Mr. Fellows.

The schedule, which proved rather difficult, was made up of fifteen

games, of which seven were played at Proctor.

Baseball

Due to lack of interest and material this year, an organized baseball team

was not formed.

Intermural games have been played 'between the different classes, and

many of the boys who did not feel themselves capable of making the varsity

team have had an opportunity to engage in the sport and enjoy themselves.

Arrangements were made to select a team of the best players in the inter

mural games to play one or two games with outside schools, but other than

that there was no interscholastic competition this year.

The Student Council

The Student Council's part in the school life, this year, has become in

creasingly more prominent. It has controlled and directed many of the

school's activities. It has been active in arranging and promoting the social

events of the year.

A joint winter carnival was introduced this year, for the first time, with

Kimball Union Academy, through the efforts of the Student Council.

The Editor-in-Chief and the Business Manager, in co-operation with the

Council, appointed the editorial staff for the Green Lantern.

The Chairman of the A. A. Fair Committee was chosen by the Student

Council, and with his help, the remainder of the Committee was selected,

and the Fair brought to a successful conclusion.

The Council has, at all times, endeavored to act as the voice of the

student body, in all matters pertaining to the school life. The officers, this

year, have been: Donald F. Quimby, Chairman, and Frederick B. Tolles,

Clerk. The representatives of the four classes are: Donald F. Quimby and

Arthur R. Sadler, for the Seniors; William Kidder and Frederick B. Tolles

for the Junior Class; Raymond Hull and William Miller, Jr., for the Sopho

mores, and Robert Sawyer, for the Freshmen.

The Glee Club The Glee Club has made several public appearances this year, and has

had a good reception wherever it has gone.

Early in the school year, the Glee Club was asked to sing at a special

service at the Unitarian Church in Laconia.

The second public appearance was on January 22nd at Franklin, at which

time two most talented singers. Miss Irma Watson and Mr. Howard Harring

ton, presented a program of delightful songs in appropriate costumes. The

Glee Club sang two numbers during the evening.

The next performance was in West Newton on March 27th, when the

school presented two one-act plays for the benefit of the Building Fund. Be

tween the two plays, the Glee Club sang three numbers which were en

thusiastically received.

The final appearance of the Glee Club was at Commencement.

The boys owe much to the help and interest of Miss Young, and later,

Mr. Hazard. The success of the Glee Club is clue, primarily, to their efforts.

Although probably no great singers have been developed, yet the year has

been extremely profitable for the musical experience gained, and for the

sheer enjoyment of singing together.

The Glee Club members this year have been: First Tenors, Warwick

Wicks, Sherman Glass, Franklin Ruege and Richard Parker; Second Tenors,

Jack Ruege, Alder Porter-Shirley, Phil Parker and Mr. Fellows; Baritones,

Arthur Sadler, William Kidder, Caleb Mueller and Frederick Tolles; and

Basses, Mr. Farrell, Donald Quimby and Russell Dimery.

Orchestra The orchestra has made two public appearances this year. Its first per

formance was in Franklin on January 22nd. In conjunction with the Glee

Club it assisted at a concert by Mr. Howard Harrington and Miss. Irma Wat

son. The orchestra again played at the time of the Senior Play. Although

the public appearances have been few, a real satisfaction has been derived

from the pleasure and knowledge of music which the rehearsals have afforded.

The personnel of the orchestra is:

Violins: Mrs. Fay, Donald F. Quimby, Franklin R. Ruege.

Trumpets: Amos E. Johnson, Henry Gibson.

Saxophones: Robert L. Cochran, Frederick B. Tolles.

Trombone: Robert II. Briggs.

Drums: Warwick Wicks.


The Proctor Players, the dramatic club of the school, held its first meet

ing in the early Fall. It was decided to present the three act mystery play

"In the Next Room". The play was given in the Andover Town Hall on

December 16th before an enthusiastic audience. The east was as follows:

Parks Arthur R. Sadler Lorna Betty Wetherell Mr. Philip Vantine John W . Sever James Godfrey John Miles Felix Armand Frederick B. Tolles

Inspector Grady Edward Perry

Simonds Sherman Glass Mine, de Charriere Marion Andrews

Col. Piggott Frederick B. Tolles

Rogers J°e Johnson Julia Mary Murdoch Tim Morel Dudley W . Thompson Crochard Frederick B. Tolles

The next presentation of the Proctor Players was on March 27th at West

Newton, Mass. The two one act plays "A Night at an Inn" by Lord Dunsany

and "The Trysting Place" by Booth Tarkington were given for the benefit

of the Building Fund. The size of the audience surpassed all expectations.

These plays and a third, "The Exchange" were presented on June 8, 1931,


in lieu of the usual Senior Play, for which the time for preparation could not be found. The casts of the three plays follow:

"A NIGHT AT AN INN" The Toff Joe Johnson Bill Donald Quimby Sniggers Arthur R. Sadler Albert John Sever Klesh Robert Briggs 1st Priest Sherman Glass 2nd Priest Warwick Wicks 3rd Priest Alder Porter-Shirley

"THE TRYSTING PLACE"

President BENJ. F. TYLER

Vice-President JOHN R. MILES

Secretary R I C H A R D 0. P A R K E R

During the fall term the Club had charge of two Chapel assemblies at which letters from foreign correspondents were read.

A Model Assembly of the League of Nations in which the whole school took part was given in the Town Hall, Wednesday, Feb. 18th.

Pan-American Day was celebrated by the Club. The History of the Pan-American Union was read by the executive officers. Speeches given by President Hoover and Secretary Stimson over the radio were listened to by the whole school.

A Glimpse of The Future W H I R R ! WHIRR-R-RR! A terrific grinding and clashing of gears

caused several passengers in the aeroplane to start nervously. A few women

screamed hysterically. Wicks was winding his watch ! Tt was a sunny day

in the year 1955 A. F. (After Flivvers). Wicks and T were en route to An

dover. W e had made our fortunes in New York by taking the holes out of

doughnuts, cutting them up, and shipping them to a large wholesale concern

in Dingflowee, Kansas. Because we had been informed that Proctor was hav

ing an alumni reunion we determined to visit Andover, and as the monkey

once remarked to a banana tree, thereby hangs a tale.

As soon as our feet touched terra firma we rushed to a telephone booth

and called up the Adams Taxi Company and demanded a cab. An hour later

a taxi arrived, driven by Dick Parker, who was assisted by Jim Knowlton,

a back seat driver who had been promoted to the front.

"Drive us to some inn or hotel," I shouted.

"There is the Soakalot Hotel and the All Inn," replied Parker.

After flipping a coin, we directed him to take us to the Soakalot.

W e surprised the hotel clerk, Margaret Adams, by hiring a suite of rooms

on the forty-ninth story.

"But," warned Manager Stanley, "you can't leave until you have paid

your bill." "Fine, we'll make this our permanent residence," said Wicks, much to

the amusement of Stella Sargent who was reading Shiek Snapshots.

After instructing porter Bertagna to take up our baggage, I suggested

that a bite to eat would not offend the stomach. Wicks agreed and we en

tered Harding's Hash House.

"Gile's musical soup is a specialty today," announced the cashier, "it's

the best tasting soup you ever heard."

"It sounds so," I replied. Motioning to a waiter, we sat down.

"Hey, 1 don't like all these flies around here," said Wicks to Freddie Car

ter, the grand bouncer.

"Point out the ones you don't like, and I'll chase them away," said

Freddie obligingly.

Attracted by a loud crunching noise I turned to see Jack Ruege rolling

peas off his vest.

"Say," whispered Wicks, "that blonde over there certainly is the gnat's

eyebrow. By the way, were you ever electrocuted?" he added, peering at the Mayor of Potter Place.

"Naw," returned Kirk, "the jury disagreed."

As this was more than I could stand. I sat down.

Glancing around the room I noted Professor Dimery who had recently

won recognition through his book, "How to cure Lockjaw with Skeleton


Keys." Sitting beside him was Joe Johnson complaining that his eye teeth were partially blind and he could hardly see to eat.

At this moment much disturbance was caused by Laundrvman Tucker

who drove up in a truck, took off his clothes and entered the restaurant.

Waiter Whittemore brought our order, and I tipped him with a Canadian

dime. Sensing something unusual, I turned to behold none other than Luke

Hart dilly dallying with a wedge of apple pie. He seemed rather worried

because his rich relatives were so healthy. "However," he said, "I expect to fill my uncle's shoes some day even if he does wear twelves."

Crash! Bang! Stuart Rogers began to play the piano.

"What do you think of his execution?" asked a bystander.

"That would be an excellent idea," cried Wicks and I simultaneously.

After the disturbance aroused by this statement had quieted down, I

walked over to talk with "Kike" Burnham, the sunny faced youth behind

the counter. Although he was very busy, he had a little time to converse with me.

"Gimme an order of pea soup," cried Murray Smith climbing onto a stool. "One .splash of split peas," shouted Kike.

"A couple of sinkers and a cup of coffee without cream," said a gent next to Murray.

"Two submarines and a mug of murk—no cow!" bawled Kike. "I ain't

seen you guys for a long while," he went on addressing me, "Where have you been keeping"

"An order of ham an' eggs," interrupted Murray.

"Roost two on a slice of squeal", shouted Kike into the tube.

"Beefstew and a cup of coffee for me," said a new arrival.

"Bossy in a bowl—boiled leaves on the side," sang Burnham. Then to me, "I thought you had left town because"

"Where's my eggs on toast?" complained another customer.

"Rush the biddies on the raft," yelped Kike. "Say if you ever o'0 to Crankshaft, Indiana, look up my Uncle Jake, will you?"

I slid off the stool I had been occupying as I saw Wicks was through.

"I want a howl of tomato soup," began Ben Tyler, who grabbed my

stool, "a plate of beans, bread, butter, a piece of apple pie and a glass of water."

I figured that the translation of this order into lunch lingo would be

well worth listening to. Kike seemed puzzled, but only for an instant; then he shouted into the tube as follows—

"One splash of red noise, platter of Saturday nights, dough well done

with cow to cover, Eve with the lid on, and a chaser of Adam's ale."

"A dish of green peas," cried Ben.

Kike waved "goodbye" before lie yelled, "A thousand on a plate."

On reaching the sidewalk, we ran into "Sherm" Glass, salesman for the

Stickmore Glue Company. He seemed rather stuck up, and I even thought


he was going to paste us. However, he walked off leaving us glued to the spot.

Suddenly Wicks rushed madly down the street trying to catch his breath.

Having sent a shout of encouragement after him, I entered the Salvation

Army Hall to find Johnnie Miles giving a lecture on how to rescue a person

from drowning. "A man's wife falls into the river," cried Johnnie: "and

naturally he rushes to the bank"

"To collect the life insurance!" cried Octavia Stearns and Hazel Richard

son in unison from the back row.

W e managed to escape from the hands of this fanatic and reach the side

walk safely.

Katherine and Jessie MacKenzie, the two queens, walked by making

Wicks and me feel like a mere two spot. Suddenly I was blinded by the glare

of a pole that had almost as many stripes and colors as Tolles on a Sunday

afternoon. Over the pole hung a sign "Paine's Barber Shop".

"Let's go in and have the tapestry trimmed," I suggested. Wicks agreed.

W e were surprised to find Porter-Shirley in the shop ahead of us.

"Shave, twenty cents; hair cut, fifty cents," shouted Barber Paine.

"Will you shave my head for twenty cents?" asked Shirley with the

fond hope of saving thirty cents. Paine flew into such a passion at this re

mark that he had to be carried out by a fellow who was waiting there to col

lect ears for an iron ear infirmary. I took my place in Barber Hull's chair.

He cut me twice and then started to saw desperately at my left ear.

"Hey, what's the idea?" I yelped indignantly.

"I'm shaving at cut rates," he replied.

The manicure girl was none other than Dorothy Crouse.

"I have held some wonderful hands," she murmured.

"liar! liar! You must be a good poker player." Whereupon she seized

a gun lying by the cash register.

"Don't fire; the gun isn't loaded," cried Paine.

However I left with half my face shaved and believe me that was a close

shave. Wicks and I retraced our steps to the hotel and entered the huge dining-

room screened by itching palm trees and whiffle trees, with jail birds twitter

ing in the branches. After a hearty meal we sauntered to the corner and got on a street car.

Sitting in front of us was Dana Thompson, the grand exhausted ruler of the

Elks, whispering words of endearment to Irene Powers, who was going to

the dye house to get some color for her new novel.

W e arrived at Squash Auditorium only a few minutes late as it was "Be

Kind to Animals" Week and Motorman Welch did not wish to pass the snail

on the track. As we entered, T heard a sound not unlike that of a man wear

ing rubber boots, walking through a custard pie. Don Quimby, with enough

hair on his head to make a mattress, was tuning up his orchestra. The danc

ing had not yet started so I wandered around the hall finding to my disgust

that the only unoccupied bench was occupied by Misses Andrews and Rayno.


"Don't you think my moustache is 'becoming?" said Quimby to Martha

Crewe.

"It may be coming but it hasn't arrived yet," remarked "Pinky" Hall

who was adding a scent to a dollar by putting perfume on it.

Caleb Mueller sneaked up behind me.

"Do you know I have charge of the State hospital?" he asked.

"Dew tell!" said I.

"Yes, and almost everyone there is crazy about me. Visit me sometime,

there's always room for one more!" he added significantly.

Just then Clayt Hurlbut walked by with Lydia Woodward giving me

such a dirty look that I had to leave to wash my face. In five minutes I re

turned and got revenge by giving him a cold look whereupon he contracted

pneumonia.

"Aren't you going to dance?" asked Detective Thompson, famed for

running down his heels.

"Well, I'm a little stiff," I explained.

"You are not," declared Dudley, "you're a big stiff."

Refreshments were next served while "Pat" Sadler and "Luke" Hart

harmonized on two songs entitled, "I Like to Eat Soup with a Hatpin" and

"Moonlight and Molasses."

An hour later, on reaching the sidewalk, we discovered Sadler in a barrel

marked, "Rubbish Only." He had been done up by a trio of ruffians and

swallowed his gold tooth together with the core of his Adam's Apple.

Very early in the morning we crawled into our rooms. I heard the two

house detectives talking in the corridor.

"Shh-hdi! I hear a noise!" said one. "Perhaps it is the clock striking."

"Nay, 'tis only the bed ticking," replied the other.

"No, it sounds like the bark of a tree, probably the wild prune!" an

swered the first.

Wicks and I flopped into bed simultaneously and were rendered uncon

scious for about five hours. Suddenly, bellhop George Raymond rushed into

the room. Wicks cast an angry glance and also a shoe in his direction.

George grabbed the shoe thinking it was a tip, and Wicks had to chase him

down the corridor to buy it back. Probably George figured he would get the

other shoe the next morning.

A week later authorities forced us to leave Andover because a laughing

hyena in the zoo died laughing at us! W e enjoyed ourselves so much during

our short stay that—as a fellow once remarked to his wife, who discovered

a scented note in his pocket, "I'd like to tell you about it, but I haven't got

time enough!"

It is needless to say that when we left via the Blackwater River in a

stone boat once owned by Harley Hopkins, we had only the best of wishes

for our good old chums and former classmates of Proctor. May their can

openers never fail them, may their ears be their outstanding features, and

may they always enjoy life and liberty with health and happiness!!
