The Centennial Year From humble yet vigorous beginnings in 1848 Proctor has grown through the years to be a truly great school; not in size, but in purpose and influence. The Centennial year has been a time of good report. The enrollment is 90, with the number of new boys only a small fraction of those w h o applied. Reports from recent graduates show them to be doing well in college and at work. O n campus, the school government has consolidated its position as a democratic w a y of life and has given to all rich opportunities to learn to govern themselves by actually doing it. The honor system has successfully passed its first milestone and added its evidence to the growing effectiveness of a Proctor education. All of these things have not gone unnoticed beyond the campus. Many people have thought highly enough of the school to make donations to the Centennial Fund which will start Proctor on its second 100 years with scholarships, buildings, and endowment that will afford even more service than in the past. It is only natural that an institution that has lived through a hundred years of the ups and downs of fortune should feel that it has a real and valued place in the scheme of things, and that a Centennial is a time for celebration. Already this year many events have occurred. The Centennial Winter Carnival, State Forester John Foster's speech on Proctor's service to the community and State, and the Centennial Alumni Homecoming are outstanding examples. Despite all these things Proctor remembers her beginnings. It is still humble in spirit and practice; it is still vigorous and forward-looking. No better evidence of this can be found than in the present student body and senior class. Early in the year the whole school set an example by making a donation to the Centennial Fund. At graduation the Class of 1948 m a d e a generous gift to the Centennial Alumni Fund and went on to establish the precedent of pledging not only continued support of the Alumni Fund but immediately started raising a 25 year fund to be used for the best interests of the Academy.

Paul is the quiet type of fellow w h o always spends all his free time fishing (during season). He is said to know the fishing g a m e so well that when he goes fishing, the fish say, Well, we're as good as cooked right now." Besides being a good fisherman he is an up and coming pilot. He also is quite the boy with the women. O h Wheaton, here w e come! ! !

Where Bart is, you will always find a conversation about cars. He is a versatile guy who will go far in the automobile dealings. The baseball team made a good choice when they elected Bart as captain. *-*"
HENRY S. C A M P "Herk" Groton Long Point, Conn Forestry Assistant Squad Leader; Dance Committee; Sailing '44, Baseball Manager '45-'48 (P), Football Manager '45-'48 (P), Ski Team '47, '48.
The answer to " W h o works the most during recreation periods?" is "Herk." Not only does he take care of all the athletic equipment for football and baseball, but he also takes care of the athletic fields. "Herk" is one of the few remaining members of the Brotherhood.

Sid, although a little wild at times, has his serious moments, too. In sports Sid is noted for his cross country running which has been a great asset to the ski team. He has a great sense of humor and is always good for a joke. Although the question comes up now and then, the general opinion is that he is "all there."
y o u CoLd
WILLIAM FISHER "Bill" 49 Osgood St., Fitchburg, Massachusetts Engineer Wentworth Football '43 (P), '44 (P), '47 (P); Sailing '44 (P); House Leader '48; Student Council '48.
Bill, after doing his turn in the Army, returned to Proctor to complete his high school training. H e has been a major part of the football team, always doing his share in the line. His spirit and fight will long be remembered. He has a wonderful sense of humor and always seems to have a smile on his lips. As house leader he has done a commendable job. He has also done a good job of keeping the undergraduates off the grass.
ROGER GAY "Rog" 49 Park St., Hudson, Massachusetts St. Lawrence University Assistant Squad Leader '47; Greenbook '47, House Leader '48; Student Council '48.
Roger, after spending two years on the Bounding Main in the Merchant Marine, came to Proctor. His domineering will to win on the football team m a d e him a major factor, while on the ski team his cross country records will be hard to match. Rog is quiet but has his gay moods, too. He will long be remembered for his quick yet quiet humor, and last but not least, as the first leader of Morton House.
PHILIP G E M M E R "Gem" Portland, Maine Babson Floor Leader '47, Yearbook '47, Cheerleader '48; Sailing Manager '48; Dance Committee '48, Student Handbook '47; Sailing '47, '48 (P)' Football '47; Skiing '47/48.
Phil is the kind of fellow whose pep and spirit keeps us happy all the time. As a Cheerleader he kept our team's morale high with his fighting spirit. He is always ready to help his classmates in any w a y he can. Good luck, Phil, in your future undertakings.
JOHN F. G R A V E S "Joe" East Andover, N e w Hampshire Chemical Engineering Dartmouth Football '47 (P), Baseball '48 (P); Dramatics Club '48.
Since John was a day student, w e didn't see as much of him as w e would have liked to. Everything that he did he did better than most of us could have done. He was a topnotch football player, an excellent student, and held two of the leads in the two plays produced by the Proctor Players. With his impressive personality, as well as his other abilities, he certainly has a place cut out for him in the future.
HARRY B. HOLLIS "Pasqual" 1 Prospect St., South Dartmouth, Massachusetts Undecided Sailing '47 (P), '48; Flying Club, Squad Leader, Student Council '48; Dance Committee '47.
Whenever you find Brad around the campus you will find something doing. He and Scotty C a m p are an inseparable pair that create a good time wherever they go. W e will always miss Brad's smiling face, and witty humor, for with that ear to ear grin, he certainly has one of the most unforgetable faces in the whole school.

Allen has a promising future in the field of Mathematics and Sciences. W e certainly hope he will make advantage of this aptitude at U N. H. Good luck Allen.
JAMES L A W S O N "Jim" Water St., Foxboro, Massachusetts Harvard Sailing '47 '48 (P), Skiing '48 (P), Proctor Play. ers '48, Glee Club and Choir, Yearbook Editorin-Chief; Assistant Squad Leader, Alumni Class Secretary.
Jim, a one year wonder, is a person w h o m you will find doing most anything (even working on the coal pile). His work in both plays and as editorin-chief of the yearbook has kept Jim a busy person. Jim's hard working has m a d e him scholastically one of the highest.

Al in his three years at Proctor has certainly m a d e for himself an outstanding record both as school leader and as a splendid sportsman, either on the baseball diamond or as the captain of the football team. W e will miss Al's good nature and leadership qualities.
LEONARD D. PEARLMAN "Pearly" 177 Morris Ave., Providence, Rhode Island Amherst Football '47 (P), Baseball '47, '48, Floor Leader '48; Proctor Players, Vice President; Glee Club, Choir; Yearbook Committee.
Pearly was another one of our versatile seniors. Along with his scholastic ability his time was filled with m a n y extra curricular activities. He was a stalwart in our forward line who always got his man. His cheery w a y was always in our midst. He was known on the ski hill as "Mr. Snowplow of 1948."
Ltin KtLfup'
PETER C. PRIOR "Pete" Chagrin Falls, Ohio Foundry Sailing '45, '47; Squad Leader '45, '46; Head Waiter Student Council '48, Sailing Manager.
Pete, with his polite manner, was very much in our Proctor life. His interest being automobiles found him in his leisure time at the metal shop or woodshop. There is no doubt he will find his w a y to success when Pete enters his vocation.
ROY STAVELEY. JR. "Stave" King St., Littleton, Massachusetts Trinity University Student Council, President '48; Flying Club President '48, House Leader '48, Vice President of the Senior Class '48; Dance Committee '47Fire Chief '47; Ski Patrol '48; Football '46, Sailing '47, '48 (P); Baseball '47, Tennis '48; Ski Team '47, Skiing '46, '48, A Squad; Improvement Squad '47.
"Stave," a three year boy at Proctor, has come to be one of our best leaders. His active part in the School Government and other activities have made him well known. He has not only benefited by being at Proctor but has given in return a lot that will be remembered. W e shall all remember in Mary Lowell our Fire Chief.
DALE H. SWIFT "Speedy" 17 First St., Attleboro, Massachusetts Eye Doctor Sailing '45, '46, '47, '48 (P), Skiing '47 '48Secretary of Student Council '48; Squad Leader 48; Yearbook Committee '47, Junior Marshal '47.
If you were to ask Speedy where he would like to be at the present moment he would reply: "Down in the Hogan's cellar guzzling 'root' beer." Dale is one of the best salties ever to hit Proctor.
JAMES A. R. TEETZEL "Jim" 342 McMillan St., Grosse Pointe, Michigan Michigan State College Tennis '47, '48 (P); Sailing '46; Skiing '46, '48, Ski Manager '48; Dance Committee Chairman '48; Associate Editor of the Yearbook '48; Dance Committee '46-'48.
Jim is the fair headed fellow who is a whiz at photography. The pictures which appear in this yearbook are ample proof of his adeptness. Although Jim has decided to go into Agriculture, he will always have something to fall back on.
WALKER WHEELER. II "Stick" 51 Boulder Rd., Wellesley Farms, Massachusetts Medicine Sailing, Captain (P) '45, '46, '47, '48, Proctor Players '47, '48; Squad Leader '47; Steward '48; Manager of Ski Team '47, '48; Glee Club '45, '46; President of Senior Class '48, Flying Club '48; Toastmaster, Winter Banquet '48.
Walker, w h o is a big "Wheel-er" around school, has a good sense of humor. His excellent job as president of our class has shown to us his superb leadership qualities. He's the kind that everyone follows, especially in sailing. "Stick" is one m a n w h o m everyone looks up to.
H U G H A. W H I T E "RedStuart, Virginia Undecided Assistant Squad Leader '47, '48, Foreman of Administration Building; Dance Committee; W o o d Working; Improvement Squad '45, Skiing '47, '48; Tennis '47, '48.
Red's hobby is woodworking with the emphasis on boats. If you want a boat get a "White" boat. Hugh is always full of fun and an asset to any group. Remember Temple Mountain, "Red." As foreman at the Administration Building he made his m e n work hard and he got good results. Good luck, Red.
Junior Marshals Richard E. Benham James L. Dunbar

Class Prophecy Here I am on my way to my tenth reunion at Proctor, driving cross-country from California in m y new Bartholomew, Inc. bus. M y first stop is Detroit where w e pick up Jim Teetzel, famous photographer, just back from his studio in Hollywood. O n to Cleveland where w e find Paul Arnold, a retired business m a n who is devoting the rest of his life to fishing. Paul shows us the w a y to Guy Bartholomew's mansion which was designed to resemble a huge car. He is talking to Pete Prior who supplies Bart with metal forgmgs for his cars. With the bus beginning to fill up w e drive to Hartford where w e find Al Legge, head dentist for the State of Connecticut. In N e w London w e drive to a shack with a huge sign out front "Pasqual and Pasquali, Fried Clams with 'Ta-Ta' Sauce." W e loaded on a bushel of their clams while C a m p threw Hollis in the bus. At Providence w e find Lenny Pearlman president of the International Shoe Company. Going through Attleboro Dale Swift hops on board and immediately proceeds to examine our eyes. At Brookline w e pick up Sid Colford, Chairman of the "Kiss-Mein-the-Dark-Baby" Tie Company.
We

W e are greeted by the new Headmaster, John Graves, w h o has just hired that famous construction engineer, Jim Lawson, to finish the Administration Building. His chief assistant is Bill Fisher, w h o figures out Jim's math problems when he gets stuck. Well, I guess that just about covers everyone. O W You m a y ask w h o I am. Well, just call m e the little m a n w h o wasn't there.

Dorms The dormitories at Proctor are an important part in the school life. Here the boys make their homes for the school year and live in close contact with their fellow students. They learn how to live, work, and play together. The dorms are run by a House Leader and his Floor Assistants who take into their hands the duties of the dormitory. They meet once a week with the dormitory master in charge to iron out difficulties that do arise. (Boys will be boys). The whole dormitory also has a meeting every week to help carry out this democratic life. There is a good bit of competition between the dorms in all types of contests. W e saw Cary House win the inter-dorm ski meet with Morton House a close second. What can you expect with skiers like Doug Burden7 Another one of the
GANNETT HOUSE MARY LOWELL STONE HOUSE
competitions was the dorm cleanup at spring time. This is a real pride to the boys to see w h o can make their dorm shine the most. All the dorms really did sparkle, but Roy Staveley and his boys of Mary Lowell came through with the victory. That dinner sure tasted good. Again in the late spring Cary House came through by winning the Proctor Chest drive, literally running away with it with a sum of $120. They really did the whole thing up brown with Larry Cibley putting on a terrific magic show. It really brought in the dough. Here w e have in a nutshell the life and activities that take place in our dormitories. W e really have a lot of fun living together, all but that time that comes every evening when the bell rings in the dormitory, study hall.

SPORTS
Faces forward hearts courageous May we never backward turn
Football The Proctor football team finished the 1947 football season with two wins and three losses. The hard fighting green and white eleven dropped their first game to fast, fighting Plymouth High team.
Plymouth tried numerous
times to crash through the Proctor line but to no avail. They scored on fast end runs. The next game with Brewster proved the theory that the only thing wrong with the team was the lack of working together.
Brewster bowed 20-12.
Terry Phillips starred in the backfield with his startling end runs. Kimball Union Academy found a tired Proctor football squad to play against the next week. M a n y of the team had spent the preceding night fighting forest fires, and as a result the game was dropped, 41-7. The big game of the year came with Holderness. Both teams fought hard from the first whistle to the last. Proctor was the aggressor all the way. Proctor scored in the first quarter and battled over the goal line only to have the play called back because of an off-side penalty. Then in the last quarter the
hard-fighting Holderness team battled over for their first touchdown.
The
score was then 6-7 in favor of Proctor. With minutes to go Proctor fumbled, and Holderness recovered. After three unsuccessful tries Holderness scored the winning touchdown. The final score was 12-7. The Proctor eleven finished the season with a victory over a high spirited New Hampton squad. Proctor poured on the heat in the first quarter, scoring two touchdowns, the final score of the game being 12-0. The team was handicapped by the absence of Captain Al Legge for most of the season. The line was strong, not only on defense but also on offense. The opposing teams soon learned that no large gains were to be made by bucking the line. The backfield also looked good. Their deception was good and their passing and running attacks strong. Although several valuable players are leaving, the forthcoming season looks good. The backfield will be fast, while the line will be heavy and strong.
/
Sailing With over one-third of the school registered for fall sailing, Proctor's squad, under the leadership of Coach Richard P. Merrill, piled up a spectacular list of victories during the fall season. Proctor defeated Phillips Exeter on October 12 by a wide margin of 24 to 16, with Wheeler and Pete Roberts walking away with all the honors. O n October 19, Proctor again w o n against our traditional rival, Holderness, by a margin of 21 to 19 points. Phillips Exeter on a return meet on October 23 managed to nose out a narrow victory over Proctor's short-handed squad. O n October 26, the Proctor sailors entertained the fair Colby mermaids. This sailing meet fast turned into a social affair, since there was one girl and one boy in each boat, and a heavy wind made capsizing easy. The two teams battled a mighty wind, and several boats capsized. It was here that Colby showed their true form. This was followed by a brilliant comeback at a tri-meet on November 2 with the Dartmouth Corinthian Yacht Club, and the Colby Junior College squad.
A 21 point score totaled for Proctor as compared to Dartmouth's 13
points and Colby's 11.
The outstanding event of the sailing season was the weekend of November 9th when the sailing squad journeyed to Boston to race the MIT sailing squad. The final score was 74 to 56 in favor of the college team. On November 16, cutting away the ice from the riggings, we defeated the University of New Hampshire with a final score of 18 to 12. During the winter George Rounds reconditioned all of the boats, making new masts, rudders, and booms, so that this spring the squad had eight boats in good condition. Tests were given to obtain a squad of the right size and teach the boys useful knots and rules. The first meet was with Phillips Exeter Academy on April 25. W e won by the close margin of 43-41. On May 1, our rival, Holderness, paid us a visit and was defeated, 58-26. On May 9th, Proctor staged a Regatta with the University of New Hampshire, Dartmouth and Proctor. In a close, hard fight, Dartmouth edged us by one point, while UNH came in third.
Skiing January 24, 1948, was Proctor Academy's first meet with Holderness and the University of Maine. Proctor took the meet with 95.6 points, with Holderness second with 88.4, and the University of Maine third with 86.9 points. In the down-hill event Lind of Holderness took first place, but Proctor took both second and third places. Doug Burden had second, and Roger Couture third place. In the Cross-Country, Couture took second place. Doug Burden took first in the Slalom. O n January 31, Proctor met N e w Hampton. Proctor took the meet with 393.1 and N e w Hampton only 359.9. Proctor had the first two places in crosscountry. In the down-hill, Doug Burden and Roger Couture were in the top places taken by the team. In the slalom, Proctor took the first three places. Doug Burden and Murdock Whitney made two of the three top scores. Tasse of N e w Hampton took first place in jumping, but Proctor took the next six places. February 8, 1948, brought a triangular meet with Proctor A and B teams and N e w Hampton. Proctor A took the meet with a total of 395.6 points; N e w Hampton took secnd with 362.5 and Proctor B third with 340.3. In jumping, Taylor brought us first place. Proctor took the first two places in the slalom. In the down-hill Proctor A took the first five places. Roger Couture broke the Yankee Flyer's record and Doug Burden set a new record. In cross-country Roger Couture and Roger Gay broke the old records, with Roger Couture setting the new one.
O n February 18 Holderness and Proctor held their ski meet at Andover. In cross-country Proctor took the first four places: Roger G a y took first, followed by Sid Colford, Roger Couture, and Terry Phillips. In the down-hill Roger Couture broke the record. In the slalom, Holderness took first place, but Proctor Academy took the next three in line. O n February 21, the Proctor team was a guest at a triangular meet with Vermont Academy and West Point. V. A. took first place with 392.72. Proctor Academy took second place with 350.6, and West Point was third with 333.5. In the jumping w e had fifth and sixth places. Our first m a n in crosscountry was at seventh place. In the down-hill w e did better, taking third and fourth places. O n February 29, w e were in a triangular meet at Lake Placid. Willard Taylor and Doug Burden took firsts. The competitors against us were the Northwood School and Manlius School. Northwood took the meet with 376 points, Proctor was second with 360 and Manlius third with 344. Bill Taylor made the winning jump on the 35-meter hill. Bill Taylor also did well in crosscountry. His teammates gave him good support. Roger Couture made a 107-foot jump which was the longest standing jump. Doug Burden made a 26-second run in slalom which was six seconds faster than second place. O n the weekend of March 13-14, 1948, the team journeyed to the Franconia Ski Club Interscholastic Invitation Ski Meet in Franconia. Doug Burden took a second in the down-hill and a second in the slalom. In the down-hill Proctor placed second of 13 schols. In cross-country w e placed fourth out of 12 schools. In the slalom w e were sixth out of 11 schools. With only three graduating lettermen, Roger Gay, Sid Colford, and Jim Lawson, w e have good hopes for a fine team next winter.
Baseball Due to rainy weather in May, four of the varsity games were cancelled. However, they did play seven games, of which they won four and lost three. Proctor bowed in its first game of the season to Andover High School, 6-7. Then the team won three straight, taking Tilton J. V.'s twice, 12-3 and 7-6. Holderness also bowed twice, 13-4 and 6-0. New Hampton J. V.'s stopped the winning streak, however, wininng two games, 7-5 and 5-0. The team hit well and fielded well. The infield was especially strong, both in the field and at bat. The outfield was also strong on defense and offense. Members of the sguad were: Bill Taylor, Don Foote, Sid Wallace, Don Whitney, Art Tonna, Dick Eliot, Guy Bartholomew (captain), Howie Widdoes, Bill Libby, Al Legge, Pete Camp, Bill Walker, Dick Benham, Joel Bates, and Lenny Pearlman. Mr. Chase and Mr. Camp were coaches.
Tennis Team The Proctor Tennis team this year was certainly one of the best w e have had for quite some time. Even though it did not win all the meets, w e can say that it was successful because they won many moral victories, and the team improved very much over last year's team. The co-captains were Douglas Burden and Brooks Whitehouse, while the rest of the team consisted of Terry Philips, Jim Teetzel, Fred Landon, and Pete Parrish. Their first meet was with Tilton on April 24th. Phillips and Whitehouse both w o n their singles, and together they won their double, bringing Proctor's score up to three, and tied the meet up. Looking down the season, w e find the team getting beaten 6-1 by Holderness on M a y 1st. Terry Phillips and Bigelow Green fought out the hardest match of the day, for two hours, but Green won. O n M a y 19 Proctor won against Kimball Union by one point, after a long hard struggle. Since our Tennis team was made up of many undergradutes, the prospects for next year's team look wonderful.

School Government Here at Proctor the School Government is an organization whereby as many boys as possible are given the responsibility which develops leadership qualities. M a n y organizations and systems are introduced into the government which enable the boys to take a greater part of the responsibility of running the school. A m o n g these organizations are: The Student Council, the House Leaders, and the Job Foreman. These all make up the nucleus of life here at Proctor. The w a y in which the entire student body is able to function, the rotation system for picking out prospective leaders, the School Meeting, where new and useful ideas for running the school are formulated, attributed to our Democratic form of government. The boys here at Proctor feel proud of their able administration, and work hard for its success, for they fully realize the benefits it gives to the school as well as to themselves.
Flying Club Three years ago the Flying Club was organized for all boys interested in aviation. The main purpose of the club is to get together and have lectures on subjects dealing with aviation. Several lectures were given this year which were very interesting and useful to the members. The club also plans to have some professional entertainment which will be of some value to the club. There were nine boys in the club this year, and under the direction of Mr. Jack Camp, a great time was had by all.
The Proctor Players The Proctor Players were organized again this year, and they gave two plays. The first, "The Devil and Daniel Webster," by S. Benet, was given twice, once for the guests of the winter house party, and once for the benefit of the Andover High School basketball team. Despite the fluttering hearts, and the shaking knees of the cast, both times it went well. Al Legge, Pat Parker, John Graves, and Bill Prior took the leading characters. The second play was "What a Life," a light comedy by Clifford Goldsmith. It was given on Alumni Weekend, M a y 22, and was a big success. The cast consisted of Don Foote, Ann Graves, John Graves, Mrs. Farrell, Al Legge, Bill Prior, Jim Lawson, Leonard Pearlman, Pat Parker, Larry Cibley, Bill Saunders, Pat Francis, Kip Overesch, Art Tonna, Hank Baldwin, Eugene Spiegle, and Bill Walker. Both plays were directed by Mr. Farrell, w h o has really done a great job. Also many thanks to Walker Wheeler and Frank Wallace, who did good job as stage managers.
Glee Club Soon after school started last fall, Mr. Merrill, our foreign language, history, and Economics teacher, organized a glee club. They practiced faithfully every Wednesday night, and sometimes Saturday nights. Soon they were ready to start to sing in public. They sang "Praise the Lord, O h Jerusalem," by Maunder, on Thanksgiving, and just before Christmas vacation they sang "Jesu Bambino," by Yon. O n March 3, they sang "On the Road to Mandalay," and John Bassett and Charlie Crothers played two piano solos. Don Foote, Bill Saunders, Al Legge, and Pat Francis sang a new version of "The Bones Song," with two part harmony (plus a few flourishes). Don Stockbarger played a saxophone solo, and the whole Glee Club finished this program for the Woman's Alliance with the Proctor Song. Mrs. Florence Haskell was their featured soprano soloist on March 14, when the Glee Club sang "Gallia." Last of all, they sang "Glorious, Forever," for the Baccalaureate Service.
Fire Fighting Fire fighting has become a major activity here at Proctor. Last fall during a time of state-wide emergency, Proctor's crews were ready to go on a minute's notice. W h e n w e were finally called, w e organized in crews for the Mount Sunapee fire. The crews worked from eight to 12 hours and then were relieved by a fresh crew. W e learned a lot about fire fighting in those four days.
We
worked hard, griped a lot, and also got paid. Mr. Burbank continued the instruction this spring so that the new boys could get their cards. The abundance of rainfall this spring has eliminated any fire danger at present. Proctor has here an activity which is useful and is much appreciated by the State.
School Edition of The Proctor Press The first issue this year was the first appearance in five years of the PRESS, published by the Junior College English class. The editorial board was elected by the class members, and the staff was taken out of the remainder of the class. This year's Editor-in-chief was Robert Verrier; Business Manager, Don Foote; News Editor, Larry Cibley; Feature Editor, Bill Saunders. Lyle H. Farrell, head of the English Department, was this year's faculty advisor. The editorial board for this year's PRESS came against a score of problems. This was so because this year was the first appearance of the PRESS in a number of years. O n e of the points agreed upon at the meeting was that the PRESS was to be published five times yearly, roughly two a term except for the last when w e decided, for several reasons, w e would issue only one. The price of a year's subscription was a point not fully decided upon. W e hope it won't cost any more than what it cost for three issues this year. All in all, the editorial board felt that the PRESS turned out successfully and was worth-while. The three issues put out this year, contained a great deal of school news which undoubtedly would never have had the chance to go into print. Articles, such as "Loose Ends," and "Proctor Polls," will be what w e call standing articles; that is, they will reappear in following issues. As you have probably noticed, the paper contains no advertising, and is entirely self-supporting.

W e accept your challenge, Proctor! Forward! Forward! For the right!
The Third Book of Proctor N o w it c a m e to pass in the ninth month of the thirteenth year of the reign of Halsi, King of the Proctorites, that the tribes of Proctor m a d e ready to gather themselves together into one place, Andover. A n d King Halsi called before him John the Rivers-ite and spake, saying: Is all ready for the coming of the Proctorites? A n d John answered and said: Lo, everything is in readiness; the House of Gannett is garnished and furbished, the House of Cary is in readiness; the House of Mary Lowell Stone shineth almost as new; the House of Morton hath been finished throughout all the parts thereof, and according to all the fashion of it, and I have been all summer in building it. A n d King Halsi said: Well done, good and faithful John. A n d lo, suddenly the hosts of Proctor arrived in chariots of fire. A n d they scattered and found their abiding places in the houses. A n d the n e w boys marveled at the wonders of Proctor, but the old boys marveled not, for they k n e w it w a s good. N o w these are the leaders of the tribes of Proctor; behold they are written in the book of Halsi the King: of the tribe of Gannett, William the Fisher-ite, Pedro, son of PonceAlcala, Philip the Scottite, and Leonard the Pearlmanite; of the tribe of Cary, Bart, son of Bart, James, son of Dunbar, and Philip the Portland-ite; of the tribe of Mary Lowell Stone, Roy the Staveley-ite, Robert, the Verrier-ite, and Brad, son of Hollis. A n d with this tribe also dwelt Al the Legge-ite, the leader of all the tribes, a great m a n and honorable. A n d Lyle, the Captain of the King's Host, gave to each m a n his schedule, and the Proctorites sat at the feet of the doctors and teachers and tried to get understanding and wisdom. From Lyle the Farrell-ite they learned to speak their o w n language; and from Jack the Camp-ite they learned to read. From Holland the Dresser-ite they learned to figger; from Pop the Boyden-ite they learned of their forefathers; from Ray the Styles-ite they found the wonders of nature and bad smells. From Dick the Merrill-ite they learned to speak in divers languages. From Connie the Burbank-ite and Beebe the Boyden-ite they learned to tap with their fingers. A n d from Bart the Chase-ite, Bud the Lauridsen, and Ted the Jones-ite, cunning artificers, they learned to fashion things from w o o d and iron. A n d it c a m e to pass that m a n y of the Proctorites put on armor and went forth to chase the pigskin. A n d they strove mightily and learned the mysteries of the single wing and the T. A n d they ran and fell upon each other and great w a s the fall thereof. A n d Al the Legge-ite w a s captain over them. A n d others under the leadership of Stick the C o m m o d o r e went upon the lake in boats and were blown whither the wind listed. A n d some listed too m u c h and were tossed into the midst of the waters. A n d they got wet. A n d Dutch the Dresser-ite called together divers persons and said: C o m e ye, sejve in m y court. A n d they answered him saying: O k a y kid, but it sounds like a racket to us. A n d suddenly fire from heaven fell upon the forests, and the State Forester called with a loud voice unto King Halsi: Help us, I pray thee. Send us thy young men. A n d Halsi spake unto the Proctorites and said unto them: Will ye go even up onto a high mountain and quench this fire? A n d the Proctorites shouted in a loud voice: Here are w e , send us. A n d they girded up their loins and went forth and battled mightily against the fire. A n d they prevailed and returned h o m e with great glory and dirty faces. A n d a question arose as to which tribe had quenched the fire, -the Proctorites or the Dartmouthites. But the Proctorites said a m o n g themselves: H a ! Ha! W e know! A n d King Halsi spake and said: Ye have done well in the sight of G o d and men; ye shall have a Thanksgiving recess. A n d the Proctorites shouted: Great King, live forever; you're a good guy! N o w this w a s the one hundredth year of the founding of the tribes of Proctor. A n d the Prophet Roland went forth to gather in shekels to build a greater Proctor. A n d lo, he spoke to the Proctorites and said: It is mete that ye should give of your abundance to this cause. A n d the Student Council and all the Proctorites gave unto the Centennial Fund two hundred shekels of the finest silver. A n d it w a s very good. A n d Roland the Prophet rejoiced. Upon the Sabbath the Proctorites gathered in the temple of the Lord to hear the words of the High Priest Joseph. A n d they sang before the Lord, and the High Priest Joseph read from the scriptures and preached and expounded the word of God. A n d the Proctorites marveled at the words of the High Priest, for he spake as one having authority. A n d they grew in wisdom.
A n d it c a m e to pass that a certain youth of the tribe of Colford fell sick of a fever and w a s given into the care of Helen the Malnati. A n d behold he had measles. A n d others were afflicted. But Helen the Malnati and Ollie the Hayward-ite cured them, and they c a m e out rejoicing. A n d lo, w h e n the winter w a s come, Bart the Chase-ite arose and spake in this wise: Get ye up and gather unto yourselves hickory boards and heavy boots and w a r m raiment and enter into the treasures of the snow. A n d the Proctorites answered and said: Yea, w e will; w h e n does the tow run? A n d Bart the Chase-ite gathered together the tribes and led them upon the hills. A n d some fell on their faces, but they rose again from their sitzmarks and continued on their way. A n d lo, chariots of fire appeared one day and gathered in the tribes and took them up into a high mountain, even unto Cannon. A n d they climbed the mountain and c a m e d o w n again, and thus they continued the whole day. A n d w h e n even w a s come, they returned to their homes rejoicing and praising the trip. A n d they all shouted saying: W h o o pee! W o w ! which being interpreted signifieth: W h a t a day! N o w it c a m e to pass in the second month that tidings c a m e to the Proctorites that a multitude of young damsels w a s not far off. A n d the Proctorites rejoiced and said: Let us m a k e ready for this great thing that hath befallen us. A n d they covered the great hall with m a n y colored papers and brought in two chariots of ancient times. A n d with graven tools they fashioned idols out of snow. A n d they bathed and put on their best raiment. A n d lo, the damsels c a m e and were entertained. A n d Jim the Teetzel-ite w a s over the entertainment and did arrange things well. A n d they all danced to the music of the tymbrel and the harp. A n d they feasted at banquets prepared by the House of Jones, and they rejoiced and had one swell time. A n d it c a m e to pass, while still the snow lay deep upon the ground, that King Halsi spake and said: Lo, it is mete that ye all put your houses in order and get them clean. A n d the leaders of the tribes gathered the tribes together. A n d they cleaned and scrubbed till the houses shone like gold. A n d Lyle, the Captain of the King's Host, and divers other persons c a m e and inspected the houses and found them good. But the Mary Lowell Stone House shone more than all and w o n the prize. A n d lo, the Mary Lowell Stone tribe had a great feast, and there w a s m u c h rejoicing. N o w , after the tribes had gone on a journey and returned, behold word went out that shekels must be gathered for the Proctor Fund. A n d the tribes strove mightily and gathered in large heaps of shekels. But Cary House tribe had the largest heap of shekels. A n d they rejoiced. A n d lo, as the spring advanced (slowly) m a n y of the tribes went out to disport themselves. A n d some got them clubs of w o o d and a ball, and they batted the ball to far distances. A n d some went d o w n to the lake in ships and fared forth upon the waters. A n d they strove with Dartmouth, U. N. H., Holderness, and fair Colby. A n d great w a s the sport. A n d others served in the court of Dutch the Dresser-ite, and they served mightily. S o m e even returned. A n d it c a m e to pass that Roland the Prophet gathered the tribes together into one place and spake, saying: N o w is the time to choose judges and leaders for next year. A n d they chose Walt the Wright-ite as Chief Judge. A n d over the tribe of Gannett they chose D o n the Foote-ite; over the tribe of Cary, Jim, son of Dunbar; over the tribe of Mary Lowell Stone, Robert the Portland-ite; and over the tribe of Morton, Dick the Benham-ite. A n d four more of the great m e n of Proctor were added to these five to become leaders of the Great Council. A n d the names of them were: Pedro the Ponce-ite, William the Prior, Ivan the Martin-ite, and Peter the C a m p . These m e n are to lead the tribes. A n d lo, the rains descended on Proctor and ceased not for m a n y days, even as they descended in the days of Noah. But the Proctorites built not an ark but trusted that the rains would cease. A n d they did (finally). A n d lo, the time approached w h e n the Seniors must depart into far countries. A n d there w a s mingled joy and sorrow a m o n g them. A n d a feast w a s prepared. A n d Stick the Wheeler-ite called in a loud voice upon each of the Seniors in turn, and one at a time they spoke words of wisdom to the tribes. A n d the Proctorites marveled at the words spoken and rejoiced. So the Seniors departed, and the tribes wished them Godspeed. N o w these are the chronicles of the thirteenth year of the reign of Halsi, King of the Proctorites The rest of the chronicle m a y be found in the Book of the Green Lantern under the direction of James, son of Lawson. Peace be unto ye!
