Dedication

The Class of 1951 dedicates this edition of The Qreen JCanterns, to

Robert W. Boyden

Greetings to the class of 1951: I have watched m a n y yearbook committees over the years and their problems seem to remain about the same. As far as I can see, there is only one problem that increases, the headmaster's picture needs more and more retouching to be presentable. N o w that you are away from school I have no profound message. I think of this yearbook as a bit of good fellowship, a tie that keeps good friends together. W e are all pictured in our best formal pose and also in pictures more typical of our lives together. W e won't often see each other from n o w on, but I hope this book will be a reminder of your Proctor days and that it m a y stimulate you to write letters to your classmates and to those of us w h o live here in Andover. Better than letters, I hope you will come back and visit with us from time to time. C o m e back for a football g a m e in the fall, bring your skis in the winter or come for sailing or a baseball g a m e in the spring. Y o u are welcome in every season. J.

Football The 1950 football season was a very successful one, as the team w o n five games and lost one. Proctor scored 122 points to the opponents' 32. T h e highlights of the 1950 season were the games against Phillips Andover, our rival Holderness, and our international rival, Westmount High of Montreal. The Andover game was a tough one to lose, for Proctor held Andover scoreless for three periods, while scoring on a pass from V a n Riper to Steel. During the fourth quarter the superior manpower of Andover began to tell, and our opponents ran up three touchdowns against a tired butfightingteam. In rain and m u d Proctor met its rival Holderness. T h e first half was scoreless and not too favorable for us, but in the second half V a n Riper, on a line run, scored a touchdown. In the third quarter a Holderness m a n fumbled and then stepped out of the end zone, scoring a safety. T h e biggest game of the year was the Westmount game at Montreal. Before the game Proctor presented the Westmount team with the American flag that had beenflyingon the Proctor campus. Proctor took the lead on a pass from

V a n Riper to Ireland, and Phil Brown kicked the extra point. Later on in the game V a n Riper picked up a Westmount fumble and ran eighty yards for a touchdown. T h e scoring was all in the first half, played under Canadian rules, and Proctor w o n 11-0. T h e team will lose nine seniors: Captain V a n Riper, the spark of the team; John Ireland, right end; Allan Crawford, left end; Bill Paine, center; Steve Merriam, left end; Bob Beattie, powerful guard; B o b Reis, line plunger; Butch Walker, blocking back; and Bob Milender, left guard. T h e following underclassmen will be the nucleus for the coming season: Captain-elect Brown, Johnson, Freiberger, Steel in the line; Riley, Farrell, Mancoll, MacColl, and Patten in the backfield. This year's J.V. team was not too powerful as far as winning games was concerned, but under the coaching of D o c C a m p many future varsity prospects gained m u c h experience. There will be a good number of the J.V.'s w h o will help on the varsity next fall.

The Champions T h e outstanding record of the ski team this year is due to the hard work of every member of the team and to the excellent coaching of D o c Camp. T h e biggest triumph of the ski team was to win the Eastern School Championships held at Stowe in which w e defeated 12 other schools. This is a great tribute to a great team, with great coaching. There are many Seniors on the team w h o will be greatly missed next year. T h e most outstanding is D o u g Burden. D o u g led the team, as CoCaptain, through all the regular meets and then went on to win added distinction for himself. D o u g w o n the Gibson Trophy, came in second in the Franconia Invitation Class B and C Slalom Championship, placedfirstin the Class A Eastern Amateur Giant Slalom Championship and w o n the Sap R u n at Thorn Mountain. His loss to the team is immeasurable. Co-Captain Dave T h o m p son has worked exceedingly hard for the team and has been brilliant in breaking records. His spirit and ability are going to be hard to replace.

Another capable m a n that will be lost this year is Pete Roberts. Pete has contributed immensely to the team in all events and particularly in cross country. T w o other Seniors leaving this year are Bob Beattie and Bill Paine. Bob has certainly proved his worth to the team for his dependable performance in every meet. Bill Paine has done a very creditable job with the varsity, showing good spirit and improving all the time. Pete Parker, always a daring skier, has made an amazing come-back this year and proved of real service. N o r can one leave out the capable and efficient manager, Charlie Snow. There will still be good material left to mold a superior team for next year. A m o n g the top m e n on the ski team will be Dave Farrell, Captain elect, w h o has pushed the top skiers all year, and Peter Elbow, a very capable skier. W e look for great things next year from Fordy Yandell, Harry Johnson, Chuck Riley, Dave Kittell, Peter Green, and Gus Bullock.

Baseball, 1951 T h e standing joke on the baseball team was, " W e are trying to match the Tigers' record of eleven straight losses." This was no idle joke, it appeared, as the team started their season with five straight losses. This would be enough to take the wind out of most prep-school teams' sails. However, with as m u c h fight as in thefirstgame, the squad hammered out a win, a loss, and three wins in a row to come out at the end of the season with six losses and four victories. W e can't say that the team lacked spirit. There was a tremendous amount as shown by the strongfinishof the season. T h e team played two games withfiveschools, starting with Clark School, then Tilton School, Holderness, N e w Hampton, and Kimball Union. W e split even on games with Tilton and N e w Hampton, in each case winning the second game of the series. Both games with Kimball Union were victories for Proctor. Something should be said here about our Holderness games. T h e first one was loosely played and resulted in a loss for Proctor by the score of 28-11. In the return game at Holderness the Proctor nine was able to hold Holderness to six runs in eight innings, while w e were scoring eight. In the last of the

ninth inning, however, with two m e n on bases a Holderness batter hit a h o m e run. A heartbreaker to lose! There were nine seniors on this year's squad, six of them regulars. W e shall miss Captain V a n Riper, w h o batted over .400, w h o scored the most runs, the most hits, and stole the most bases; Reis w h o batted .394; Merriam another .300 hitter; and Marvin Ely of home-run fame. T h e other seniors were: Parker, catcher, Milender, first base, Beebe and Crawford, pitchers, and the well-knownfirstbase coach, Walker. There is, however, a good nucleus for next year's team with three .300 hitters, Farrell, Cozier, and Gates, with "Slugger" Riley w h o batted in 16 runs, and with infielder, Patten. T h e J. V. team had a good season, winning four games and losing two. All the players on the team were underclassmen and all will be available for next year's Varsity. There is some good material for another year. Great credit is due to Mr. Styles w h o coached the Varsity and to M r . C a m p w h o handled the J. V.'s. They got the very best out of the material and turned out two creditable teams.

TEAM

Standing: Mr. LaCasce, Coach, McLain, Field, Manager. Seated: Beattie, John Wright, Burden, Captain, Kirk Weeks, Thompson.

Varsity Tennis This year's varsity tennis team has been very successful. T h e team w o n quite a few 9-0 meets, and beat all opponents except a strong Vermont Academy squad, which took thefirstmeet with Proctor. T h e second meet with Vermont Acade m y was a victory for Proctor, w h o beat V.A. by the same score that Proctor lost by the first time: 6-3. T h e captain of this year's team was D o u g Burden, whose long lanky frame was often seen on the tennis courts towering above his opponents. D o u g had an undefeated season this year, both in singles and in doubles with his partner B o b Beattie. T h e number two m a n was George McLain, w h o should have been renamed "Chatterbox." George makes the tennis meets sound like a social gathering with all his sparkling conversation. George did very well this year, with an almost undefeated season. B o b Beattie, commonly k n o w n as "Bouncalong Beattie" to his friends on the courts, took up the number three spot. B o b had an undefeated season and played very well throughout the year. Dave T h o m p s o n held d o w n fourth place, and did a tolerable job of it. Dave improved a lot during the season and was a valuable asset to the team. Kirk W e e k s and John Wright held fifth and sixth places respectively.

Both of them are up and coming players and should be heard from in the future. T h e team was ably coached by M r . LaCasce, and every m o m e n t of it was enjoyable. T h e outlook for the future looks bright, with several J.V.'s looking very promising. It was a good year and the meets were very successful.

JUNIOR VARSITY TENNIS The J.V. tennis team also had a successful season, losing only one match. The loss was to N e w Hampton, who won in the first meet, but w h o lost to the J.V.s in the second meet. T h e captain of the J.V.s was Dick Moritz, and the other members of the team were: Peter Elbow, Bill Paine, Jim Colt, Skip Stewart, and Dick Heckel. John Pollard played for both the varsity and junior varsity, and he did well in both roles. H e deserves special mention. Mrs. Farrell coached the J.V.s to success and the J.V.s vied with the varsity for the honor of having the highest number of wins. In the end it came out that the varsity w o n by a small percentage. Both tennis teams have just right to be proud, for they have rolled up an impressive list of victories this year, and also they have shown wonderful sportsmanship in the few matches they did lose.

Sailing The sailing season started with the "Blackwater Slalom." This is the annual race d o w n the Blackwater River. This year it was w o n by Henry Haeberle's boat, with Coffin, Phil Brown, and Art Page as crew. Hunter Kendall took over where Roy Wheeler left off w h e n he joined the Navy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as Commodore of thefleet.Hunter is very good at team racing. It was largely through this excellence that the Proctor sailors got out of tight places during meets. The Dartmouth meet was a good example of Hunter's skill as a racer and a skipper. T o m V a n Dorn is k n o w n as the sea lawyer of the Proctor Navy. T o m knows the racing rules inside out and probably could recite them backwards if necessary. Besides this he is a good skipper and has w o n quite a few races. Gus Bullock is also a very good sailor, and has the ability to get the Proctor squad out of tight spots and also of inspiring confidence during tough meets. Wally Payne is always there to help the team and Wally is a good sailor. Henry Haeberle is a promising skipper. In future years he and Morgan Ely should take the lead and further the cause

of sailing at Proctor. Next year the team should profit through the experience of these skippers. This year's skippers and crews were as follows: Kendall, skipper, Pete Green, crew; V a n Dorn, skipper, Tony Rice, crew; Bullock, skipper, Coffin, crew; Haeberle, skipper, and Morgan Ely, crew. The sailing team w o n all the meets at h o m e and lost all the meets away with the exception of beating Dartmouth at the tri-school meet at Middlebury. T h e outstanding events of the year were the Middlebury meet, the Dartmouth meet, Nichols Junior College meet, the M.I.T. regatta, and the meet with Tabor at Marion. Unfortunately for the sailors, the two social meets with Colby Junior College were called off because of rain. Mr. Merrill and Mr. Lauridsen have done a good job of coaching. They have taken the sailors to every port of call, and everybody on the team has had a good time. At the Sports Banquet M r . Gulick received the silver trophy w o n from Dartmouth by the sailors. It was presented to him by C o m m o d o r e

Kendall.
