DEDICATION

The CI™ of 1956

dedicates

this edition of

The Green Lantern

to

Mr. and Mrs. Roland W . Burbank

QA Foreword from The Headmaster, oJ%Tr. Farrell

This year to start my foreword for "The Green Lantern" I would like to compliment the editorial staff and their adviser, Mr. Robert Boyden, for the efficient job they have done. They are among our unsung heroes because the yearbook is printed and distributed in August, long after school has closed. Unless someone remembers to write to the senior editors, they never know what people feel about their work. Mr. Boyden gets only scanty after-thoughts in the fall. I therefore take this opportunity to thank him and the boys for their good work in putting to­gether the 1956 "Green Lantern."

The Class of 1956 is naturally the center of interest in this yearbook. It has been a good class in every way, and its members can be proud of the record they have made. They have pro­vided good leadership, steadily improved scholarship, and some excellent athletic teams. The football and ski teams, under the leadership of seniors, made records that will be a real chal­lenge for succeeding classes. Our very best wishes go with the Class of 1956 as they go on to college. W e hope that the growth toward maturity that has been so plain to see here at Proc­tor will continue in their college life, and that we will be equally proud of their records there.

I hope that the undergraduates will treasure these "Green Lanterns" even though they were not leaders in the many activities pictured. In years to come they will be able to see clearly their own growth in stature and in maturity, as well as to see the faces of old friends and teachers. I occasionally pull out m y old "Prep" school and college yearbooks and browse through them with much pleasure. Each one of these will be a landmark for you.

Another of the unsung heroes of the yearbook is Frank Poblenz, our official school photog­rapher. Anyone familiar with group pictures will give testimony for the good quality of his work. Anyone who has watched the speed with which he works admires doubly the excellent pictures he takes. H e has done our work for so long now that he seems like another faculty member and a good friend coming in to enjoy a day with us, rather than a professional photographer doing

a job.

Football This year 25 boys, captained by Ferdy John­

son, returned to school for football camp.

A m o n g those reporting to Mr. Wright and

Mr. Jack Camp were 8 lettermen, 6 former

J.V. players, and 7 new boys. At the end of

this training period the outlook was good, and

when the first game rolled around the team

was ready for it. It looked as if we should have

some fast backs and a strong, aggressive line.

In the first game on September 30 the Big

Green beat the Vermont Academy J.V.'s, to

break Vermont's nineteen game winning

streak, 9-0. The game was played through a

steady drizzle. Proctor scored a safety after

Sandy Weld, with a beautiful punt, had

forced V.A. to put the ball in play on their

one yard line. In the third quarter Weld

scored a touchdown, and Vern Harris passed

to his end, Sam Adriance, for the extra point.

Proctor was hurt mainly by 150 yards of pen­

alties, but the defense was especially strong.

The team then journeyed to N e w Hampton

and chalked up its second victory, 20-0, with

little effort. Proctor's defense was extremely

strong and steady, holding N e w Hampton to

no first downs. The touchdowns were scored

by Harris, Stewart, and Butler, the last one

on a forward pass from Stewart. Adriance and

Sawyer trapped a N e w Hampton man behind

the goal for a safety and two more points.

At Home-coming Week-end Proctor and

Brooks battled to a scoreless tie on a rain-

soaked field before a large crowd of alumni

and parents. Late in the game Proctor's de­

fense stiffened when Brooks, first down and

goal to go, was repeatedly stopped. Brooks

had a line averaging 190 pounds and a team

composed mainly of lettermen. Proctor relied

on a shifty backfield and a smaller but fast

line.

Proctor then journeyed out of the country

to play its international friends at Westmount

High School in Montreal. Each year the boys

enjoy the Canadian hospitality. This year was

especially enjoyable, since the team brought

home the Doug Smaill Trophy to ailing Cap­

tain Johnson and the School. Proctor, under

American rules, scored in the first five minutes

of the game, with Gilmore carrying the ball.

Both teams threatened several times, but could

not score. In the second half, under Canadian

rules, Westmount's superb running attack

went over for a touchdown, making the final

score 7-5.

The next week-end Proctor suffered its only

loss, 26-0, to an older and more experienced

Brewster Academy team. Brewster's scoring

was due to the fact that they had extremely

fast ends and a back who could throw the ball

over Proctor's safety man. They could not get

anywhere against our hard charging defense

except in the air. In the last quarter Proctor

carried the ball to Brewster's five yard line,

but time ran out.

O n November 5 Holderness came over to

Andover for the 27th annual game. Gilmore

scored for Proctor in the first quarter, but

Holderness quickly retaliated by scoring on

the next kick-off. With the point after touch­

down, Holderness led at half time 7-6. In the

last quarter, Proctor went 60 yards with Gil­

more carrying over for the touchdown, mak­

ing the final score 13-7. There was a terrific

amount of courage shown on the part of both

teams. The field was wet, and the players were

low in the mud, but high in spirit. Thus

closed one of Proctor's most successful seasons.

Proctor's fast backfield with Harris, Gil­

more, Weld, and Stewart will be back next

year. Quarterback Quimby graduates, as do

Captain Johnson, center and sparkplug of the

line, Spencer Jackson, and Sam Adriance. The

prospects for next year, led by Captain Harris,

appear bright.

Under the able coaching of Mr. Hatt and

Mr. Peter Camp, the J.V.'s completed a suc­

cessful season, losing only once, to Tilton

J.V.'s 18-13. This team was not going to be

outdone by the Varsity. Although young and

inexperienced, led by Captain Dan Cook, they

did very well.

With only seven practice sessions before the

first game, the J.V.'s rolled over Laconia High

School J.V.'s 21-6. Butler, Foster, and Woods

scored touchdowns.

Foster intercepted a pass in the game with

Holderness J.V.'s, scoring the only touchdown.

Bunim, Foster, and Crafts ran well for Proc­

tor, and the team well deserved its 7-0 victory.

Proctor's last victory was over the N e w

Hampton J.V.'s 26-13. Nash, with two, Coues,

and Bunim accounted for the Proctor scores.

The game was a fitting climax to a good

season.

Hockey In the second year of the revival of

hockey at Proctor, our team showed great improvement over last season. Also with many freshmen and sophomores on the squad the outlook for next year appears bright.

The team played twelve games, win­ning five, tying one, and losing six. Two of the games were lost by a single goal, which shows that our team was not out­classed even if on the losing side.

In our first game on January 18 we took on our old rival Holderness and won with a 5-2 score. Later in the season, on February 8, we played our second game with Holderness. W e played our usual good game, but with an improved Holderness team, we managed to win but by a 2-1 score.

When we played Hanover High School, we found ourselves up against an experienced and fast team. In our first game on January 27 with Hanover here at Proctor, they outskated and outscored us by a score of 6-0. At the end of the season, on March 3, our team went to Hanover, played them to a stand-still and lost by the close score of 5-4.

Our two games with K.U.A.'s J.V.'s were close and exciting. W e took the first game on February 1, 2-1, but in a return match on February 23, they beat us 1-0. W e played a 1-1 tie with Brewster on January 21. A week later in a return match we won handily from Brewster 4-0.

Coach Wright arranged a game on February 10 with the B team from St. Paul's School in Concord, a school long noted for its great hockey teams. In this game our boys were treated to a great

exhibition of hockey play. St. Paul's won by a score of 7-0, but our boys gained a lot of experience which should help them in future years.

Two games with the Tilton Varsity re­sulted in two losses, 4-1 and 2-1, but the games were well played. The first game was closer than the score indicated.

The team went over to Vermont Acad­emy on February 22 to play their J.V.'s. In this game our boys played exception­ally well and won handily 5-3.

The high scorers for the season were Captain Rulon-Miller and Vern Harris, both of whom will be available next year. W e shall miss our Seniors on this year's team: our reliable goalie, Toby Farrel, who saved the team 187 times; our two first line wings, Ned Bradley and Spence Jackson; and our second line cen­ter, Sam Adriance.

Our thanks go to Mr. Wright, our tire­less coach, and to John Rivers and his crew who kept our rink in perfect condi­tion. W e of the Green Lantern Staff would like to wish Mr. Wright, Sumner Rulon-Miller, Captain for the third time, and the 1957 Hockey Team, the best of luck next year.

The J.V. Hockey team, besides giving the Varsity excellent practice in scrim­mage, played four games with outside schools, winning three of them. They de­feated Cardigan Mountain School twice 2-1 and 4-1. They won from Holderness 4-0, but in their final game at Hanover, they lost to the Hanover High School J.V.'s 3-0. Several of the J.V. players should advance to the Varsity next year with more experience.

Ski ing Skiing is Proctor's main winter sport and every­

one takes part, either on the ski teams or in recrea­tional skiing. W e have for our skiing facilities two rope tows and a smaller portable tow. W e also have a cross country trail, and three jumps: a 15, a 20, and a 30 meter.

The ski team starts its pre-season training after Thanksgiving by vigorous exercises in the gym and long cross country runs, some four to six miles. O n the first of January, before the rest of the school returns from Christmas vacation, there is a ski camp where the members of the ski team actually get a chance to start their first skiing for the year.

The ski team is broken down into two teams, the A team and the B team. The A team had five meets this year. The first was with U.N.H. here, which we won. The next meet was with Lebanon and only two events were held because of poor conditions. The next meet was with three schools, Holderness, Lebanon, and Hanover at Cannon Mountain. W e won this meet by a narrow margin. Then West-mount came down here for an enjoyable week-end with a two event meet to top it off. The biggest meet of the year was the Interscholastics at Middle­bury. W e came up from behind to win the down­hill and slalom which gave us a lead of four points at the end of three events. The jumping was held the next day, and two of our men dropped out because they did not think that they could handle the 50 meter jump under such icy conditions. Due to these poor jumping conditions we lost. The B team had four meets this year.

This year we are losing three of our top men, Dave Hodgkins and Al Quimby, both of w h o m are Class B skiers, and Carl Parker, a Class A skier.

W e can't forget to mention the ski patrol who did an excellent job in keeping our slopes safe and

patrolled. There were eight boys on it, all of w h o m have standard first aid cards which they obtained from a class taught by Mr. Poulin. The eight were: Stan Bullard, Chief; Dave Beck, Ned Bradley, Mike Churchill, Dan Lincoln, Bob Lindquist, Sandy Weld and George Watson. They were headed by Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Poulin.

The Ski School had a most active and successful season. Snow conditions were rather poor until late in January so that much of the early winter was spent in trail clearing and in various inclement weather programs. W h e n the snow finally did arrive we had the finest skiing we've had in several years. Many of us skied until the last week in April.

Mr. Batchelder, Mr. Poulin, and Mr. Saindon joined the Ski School staff this year and we are most fortunate in having such able and enthusiastic additions. Mr. and Mrs. Farrell were carrying on as usual with much of the fundamental work and their years of teaching experience were, of course, invaluable in providing us with sound "basic train­ing." Mr. Hatt sprained his ankle early in the season and unfortunately was unable to teach for the re­mainder of the season. Mr. Coolidge directed the Ski School and continued to keep us up to date on recent developments in teaching and skiing tech­niques.

Most of us graduated from the Stem Christy Class or Top Class with Bullard and Churchill completing all phases of the Top Class thereby gaining admis­sion to the Outing Club.

The highlight of the skiing season is the ski holi­day, when the whole school goes off for a day of skiing, held at Mt. Sunapee this year. The conditions were rather icy this year, but it was a very enjoy­able trip.

Sailing Sailing plays a big part in the athletic pro­

gram both in the spring and fall. W e had approximately twenty boys out for sailing last fall. W e gave each of the eight boats a quick sanding and then put a coat of paint on them. Because we had only two varsity skippers who had not graduated last year we had to spend the majority of our fall season training new skippers. After going through our "training schedule" under the watchful eyes of the old skippers, Ned Bradley and Tom Sharpless, and Mr. Coolidge, the team coach, several new skippers were added to our varsity team. They are Dave Ross, Jim Floyd, and Joe Lovejoy. W e only sailed in four meets last fall, three of which we lost. The one team we did beat was Schools Sailing Club of Winchester, Mass.

Because the ice in Highland Lake where the school boathouse is located did not go out until the first week of May, the spring season was not as long as usual. The last days of April and the earlier days of May were spent in readying the boats to go overboard. This involved varnishing spars, and sanding and painting each of the eight sailboats. Because the twenty-four boys out for sailing during the spring term was an abnormally large num­ber they were divided into two units, each one going to the lake on alternate days. This

gave every boy a chance to work on the boats and to learn the many tricks of the trade of preparing the boats for the water. W e sailed in, and lost, five meets during the

spring season. The team's first meet was with Dartmouth Corinthian Yacht Club of North Enfield, New Hampshire. The Tabor meet which was held on Saturday, May 12, was the big meet of the spring season. The team left for Tabor, which is located in Marion, Mass., at eight o'clock in the morning and arrived in time for lunch. The meet was held on the bay in front of Tabor. Ned Bradley, team Commodore; Tom Sharpless, and Joe Lovejoy skippered, while Dave Beck, Dyke Tanner, and Skip Clemence crewed. They tried hard, but when the meet was over they found they had lost every race. The other meets held were with Phillips Andover, Schools Sailing Club, and another one with Dartmouth. There is no doubt that the team was inex­

perienced but we sincerely hope with the lessons it learned this year next year's Commo­dore, Dave Bliss, will lead it to an undefeated season. And with the help of our capable coach, Mr. Coolidge, and our joyful manager, Doug "President" Taylor, next year's season should be a great success.

Baseball The 1956 baseball team, captained by

Allen Quimby, had a successful season, winning four and losing six games. Three of the lost games were very close and hard ones to lose.

The first game was with Holderness. The team had only been outdoors for two days, but went ahead to win the first game 15-12. The infield looked ex­ceptionally good and the hitting was powerful.

The second game was with Brewster. It was a well played game, but Proctor had a hard job trying to out-bat the Brewster batters, so that the game ended Brewster 6, Proctor 4. During the game Nick Hamp splintered his thumb, put­ting him out of practice for two weeks.

The following game with Tilton was a close one. Proctor started with a few changes in the infield due to Nick Hamp's injury. DeWitt Woods was start­ing catcher and Al Quimby was moved to third base. The final score was Proctor 2, Tilton 1. The Proctor batters again did a fine hitting job.

On Friday, May fourth, Proctor played K.U.A. on the Proctor field. There again "was another close game, but Proctor just couldn't pull through with 2 runs to win it. K.U.A. went home with a 4-3 win.

Proctor met its rival Holderness for the second time and again came out on top. Charlie Forsberg pitched a fine game taking his second win over Holder­ness 8-7. Proctor next journeyed to Brew­ster. The game was very close up to the 8th inning. Here Proctor suffered a rough inning and Brewster won 8-3.

On May 12th Proctor played New Hampton away. Again the Proctor bat­ters did a fine job of hitting. Nash came home with the win — the team's 4th. The next two games with New Hampton and Tilton were lost. Proctor had a pitching difficulty against New Hampton

and lost 10-6. Against Tilton our team just wasn't playing together and lost that also, 15-4.

The last game with K.U.A. was a tough one to lose. Being the last game we really wanted to bring home the win, but, in the eleventh inning K.U.A. pulled through with the winning run, finishing the season for Proctor.

Highlights of the season were: Cap­tain Quimby's batting average of .389; Rulon-Miller, Jones, and Nash all bat­ting over .300; Charlie Forsberg's excel­lent pitching; Woods playing in all ten games, being at bat 4l times, and strik­ing out just once; Crosbie's coming up from the J.V.'s in the last game, retiring the side when the bases were full and no-one out, and then continuing to pitch well for six more innings; and Hamp's return after his injury, playing in his first game with a metal brace on his thumb and getting three doubles.

Much credit should go to Mr. Jack Camp for his excellent coaching and to the team for its fine spirit. Next year, under the leadership of Bill Gilmore, they should be very successful.

The J.V.'s, with an undefeated season, the only one as far as we can remember, have reason to be proud of themselves. They amassed 95 runs in their six games, while their opponents scored 21.

The J.V.'s beat Holderness twice, 18-5 and 27-2. Two victories were gained over the New Hampton Reserves 10-5 and 10-3. Cardigan Mountain succumbed twice to Proctor, 17-5 and 13-1. Butch Crosbie pitched every game, assisted in a couple by Lathrop. Two Seniors were on the team: Captain Adriance at third base, a steady fielder and lead-off batter; Watson in left field, the heaviest batter on the squad. All praise is due to the coaches, Mr. Wright and Mr. Peter Camp, and to the spirit and hustle of the team.

Tennis The first match of the season was

against Holderness which they won 5-3.

The next two matches Proctor won with

comparative ease against New Hampton

and Vermont Academy. The next two

games were with K.U.A., one at Proctor

and the other over there. Sandy Weld

was elected Captain for this year and ran

into a good player from K.U.A. Sandy

lost the first match 6-4, 7-5 and the sec­

ond 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, but played excellent

tennis in both.

The next match with Holderness on

May 9 was nothing short of a tragedy.

W e lost that one 7-1. Dudley Clark was

the only one who won his match with

the score 6-4, 2-6, 9-7. All the team

played good games but Holderness had

a slightly better team.

That Saturday, May 12, the Proctor

team went to Brooks School but didn't

do too well there either. They lost 7-2.

Weld and Bunim won their doubles

match 6-2, 3-6, 8-6. Dudley Clark and

Chase Nixon won their match 9-7, 6-2.

Even though we didn't win the boys ac­

quired quite a lot of valuable experience.

After a full week of practice the team

determined to win the next match so

when they got to Tilton they outdid

themselves and brought home a 9-0 win.

Captain Weld, Clark, Bunim and Nix­

on went down to the New England Inter­

scholastics on May 18 but didn't do too

well against some of the top school ten­

nis players in the East. They all had a

good time and gained much from the

trip.

The last game of the season was a

heart breaker. On May 26 the Concord

High team came to Proctor and beat us

7-2. Everyone lost his singles but Weld-

Clark and Coues-Churchill won their

doubles 6-4, 7-5—6-1, 6-3 respectively.

The J.V. team played some hard

matches and had a very successful season

under the able leadership of Capt. Spen­

cer Jackson. The team won three out of

five of their matches. The two most cov­

eted matches, those with Holderness,

were won handily by the Proctor team.

Proctor also won from the New Hamp­

ton J.V.'s, but lost to the Kimball Union

J.V.'s and to the Laconia High School

Varsity. Throughout the season Captain

Spencer Jackson and Dick Oppenheimer

played steady tennis and were the main­

stays of the team. A lot of credit goes to

Mr. Hatt and Mr. Poulin for the time

they spent out on the courts coaching and

rubbing off some of their skill on the

players.

The Proctor Players The Proctor Players assembled one

evening in the latter part of the fall for the purpose of choosing the play that they were to put on for the year. After much discussion, Eugene O'Neil's "The Emperor Jones" was suggested and agreed upon.

"The Emperor Jones" was indeed an ambitious undertaking. The very fact that the Players did produce it as success­fully as they did is in itself proof of the enthusiasm, organization, and just plain willingness to work of the members. But no play can be successful without two essential elements: talent and direc­tion. The former was evident in the act­ing and in the excellent scenery design. Special mention should be made of the acting of Dick Cramer and T o m Sharp­

less who did magnificent jobs in the lead roles. The directing of a play cannot be fully appreciated by any but those w h o are in it. Mr. Peter C a m p and Mr. Barrett coached the actors and supervised the stage crew, while Mrs. Barrett directed the painting of the scenery. Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Peter C a m p were invaluable in getting together costumes and helping with make-up. Bill Gilmore (President of the Players) summed everything up when he said: "It was a terrific experi­ence and a great time."

Already plans have been made for next year. The Players have decided to present "The Remarkable Mr. Penny-packer" and they plan also to get to­gether more often to read plays and to practice techniques.

Hail to Westmount On October 24th, for the sixth time,

the Proctor Academy Football Team left for Montreal on a Boston and Maine bus, to play the annual football game with our friendly rival, Westmount High School. The team arrived that afternoon and was introduced to the hosts and host­esses. Everybody enjoyed the wonderful Fall Dance put on by Westmount and afterwards had an enjoyable week-end ending on Monday morning with the football game, which we won 7-5.

Proctor, which had the advantage of playing under American rules during the first half, wasted no time in sending Bill Gilmore over for a touchdown in the first five minutes of the game. As the Westmount defense stiffened, this was by no means a preview of what was to come. Both teams threatened in the sec­ond quarter, but the score still remained 7-0 at the half.

In the second half under Canadian

rules, Westmount, with their superb run­ning attack, completely outplayed Proc­tor. The Canadians threatened numerous times, but the Big Green with spirit equal to the occasion, yielded only one touch­down.

After the game, the Doug Smaill Me­morial Trophy was presented to Allen Quimby, Acting Captain on behalf of Fred Johnson for the Proctor team.

Holding up the tradition, the West-mount ski team came to Proctor with a mixed team of girls and boys accompa­nied by Miss Macmillan. Both teams spent a good part of Saturday and Sun­day on our slopes which had a very good covering of snow. The skiing was excel­lent, possibly the best this year.

Westmount left Proctor and headed back to Canada on Sunday, thus ending the 1955-1956 exchange of visits between our Canadian friends and us. May these visits always continue!

// you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream — and not make dreams your master; If you can think — and not make thoughts your aim,

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors fust the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of'pitcb-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings — nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the earth and everything that's in it, And — which is more — you'll be a Man, my son!
