Dedication

The Qass of 1955 dedicates this edition of The Qreen JCantern to

H A R O L D H. O W E N

Qy4 Word from Mr. Farrell The Green Lantern is the pictorial and written record of a school year at Proctor. Although everyone is in it, the emphasis is towards each senior class.

Essentially it is your book. Moreover, the emphasis in a year book is, inevitably, on the sports, clubs, and activities; groups of people representing shared interests.

There is no w a y in which w e can record for you the sincerity with which w e have tried to guide you towards manhood. T h e hours teachers have spent over themes and tests searching for ways to show you h o w to improve do not appear in the Green Lantern. Your o w n efforts to learn, to get an education are here only by inference, yet those efforts are the major part of the record. Perhaps w e should also have a section for parents, honoring those w h o were able to lend their support to games, plays, and concerts, and paying tribute to the large expense all have been under; to the affectionate interest with which they have followed your progress.

As you turn these pages in years to come, I hope that your m e m o r y will bring back the enjoyment of these varied activities. That the succession of faces will recall a word of praise, a generous act, a friendly gesture, perhaps even a probably well-deserved reprimand. I hope that the book will be a permanent reminder of a well-loved school, a group of friends, and a staff whose greatest satisfaction comes from your success here and in the future.

Skit;in]g Skiing has been, and always will be a major sport here at Proctor. Within the past five years Proctor has produced champions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including an F. I. S. skier, minor champions, and just plain "bashers." N o matter what happens skiers w h o have skied at Proctor have a deep love for the sport.

Although thefirstski meet was not scheduled until January, preparations for the season started just after Thanksgiving. R o p e climbing, and other vigorous exercises in the g y m were followed by strenuous cross-country runs.

W h e n ski c a m p opened at Proctor on the first of January the squad was well conditioned.

T h e first scheduled A team meet with U.N.H.'s Freshman team was cancelled because of poor snow conditions. It was finally held on February 9th on icy slopes with U.N.H. the winning team. Other dual meets were with Vermont Academy and Holderness. T h e A team also competed in two four-way meets, coming in second at the Lebanon Winter Carnival and third in an early February meet here at Proctor. T h e A team was glad to have a chance to compete in the Interscholastics at Norwich University in Northfield, Vermont.

T h e skiers enjoyed this well-run meet even though Proctor captured a disappointing fourth place.

T h e Proctor B team traveled to Holderness, K. U. A., and Woodstock and succeeded in coming out on top in thefirsttwo of these meets.

N o account of the ski season is complete without mention of the superior work done by the Ski Patrol under the direction of M r .

Coolidge. There werefivepermanent members of the patrol: Bullard, Gill, Goldberg, M u n son, and Russell. These boys were given first aid instruction by Mrs. Malnati.

Highlighting the 1955 season was the ski holiday at Cannon M t . on February 14th.

S n o w conditions were good, the weather ideal so that the four bus loads of boys and faculty had a most enjoyable day.

Special honors and opportunities came to two ski team members w h e n Dave Hodgkins and Carl Parker were invited to attend the Racing Training Program at Stowe, Vermont.

Dave and Carl report the week "beyond all description." T h e two boys also competed in the Junior Eastern Championships at Lake Placid, N e w York over the week-end of February 5th.

Proctor is proud of her skiers and particularly of the boys w h o , this year, became Class B skiers. T o these three boys, Hodgkins and Quimby, Co-Captains, and Parker and to Coach J. C a m p and the 1956 ski teams Proctor wishes the best of fortune.

The Proctor Players This school year an eager group of prospective actors gathered together in the late fall to choose the play that would be presented to the school during winter carnival. T h e play chosen was: " Y o u Can't Take It With You," a highly amusing comedy by Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman.

T h e preliminary work on the play didn't begin until about four weeks before Christmas vacation with all the trial readings for the parts. T h e cast was announced just before Thanksgiving, and the parts were handed out to be taken h o m e and studied. Real rehearsals didn't start until after Christmas.

Rehearsal after rehearsal followed with time and tempers growing short. Jonathon Fisher, w h o had the lead part, couldn't seem to realize that time was running out, m u c h to the annoyance of our director. However, under the able leadership of M r . O w e n , the play went off without a hitch, and it did us proud.

T h e play opens in the living room of Martin Vanderhof (Jonathan Fisher), firm believer in non-conformity, w h o tries to convert other people to his way of thinking. At that moment, Mrs. Penelope Sycamore (Mrs. Phelps), Martin's daughter, is doing what she likes more than anything else in the

world. She is writing a play â&#x20AC;&#x201D; her eleventh.

Comfortably ensconced in what is affectionately k n o w n as Mother's Corner, she is pounding away on a typewriter perched precariously on a rickety card table. Also on the table is one of those plaster of Paris skulls ordinarily used as an ash tray, but which serves Penelope as a candy jar. And, because Penny likes companionship, there are two kittens on the table, busily lapping at a saucer of milk.

Also living under this rather shaky roof is Rheda, the colored maid (David Bliss); Paul (David Gill), Penny's husband and a manufacturer of illegal fireworks; Ed Carmichael, ardent musician and printer (Richard Dahlgren), and his wife Essie, a ballet dancer (Mrs. Peter C a m p ) ; Alice Sycamore (Mrs. Wright), w h o is in love with a young m a n from the outside world. Last, but by no means least Frank Coron as M r . DiPinna was entertaining as a partner in the fireworks business.

As you can see this combination of people, with the supporting cast, were an extremely entertaining group. T h e play, given during the Carnival week-end, was enjoyed immensely by all present. All of us players would like to thank M r . O w e n , Mr. and Mrs. Peter C a m p , Mrs. Phelps, and Mrs. Wright without w h o m the play would never have been done right.

Brief Remarks by an Anxious Father To His Teen-age Son About to Drive -X -X In return for the keys to the car, you're in for three minutes of hard listening. First, you might as well k n o w n o w that any infraction of the rules that you had to learn to pass your test will m e a n the end of your permission to drive.

T h e hazards of the road are serious enough w h e n you obey all the regulations.

N o b o d y has a right to multiply the risk.

T h e rules of the road and some mechanical ability are important, but no more important than your attitude and sense of responsibility. T h e distorted attitude of some drivers toward the law, toward themselves or toward other living things is what makes the automobile our N o . 1 killer. It's u p to you to maintain the right attitude as a driver, but be constantly on guard for those w h o don't or won't. T h e "other fellow" has to be on your mind all the time.

Regard and treat your car as what it is: a complicated mechanism designed to get you where you're going with a m i n i m u m of effort on your part. It is not a fast-moving toy, or a means to express feelings of power or superiority, or a stage on which to show off — except maybe your maturity, alertness and conscientiousness. While you're at the wheel you must never give w a y to anger, or impatience, or undue hurry, or absent-mindedness, or fatigue, or a stupid impulse to show some idiot that you aren't "chicken."

Courtesy is one ingredient which makes everyday life pleasurable. For a driver, courtesy is the factor which makes life possible.

This car you will drive cost a lot of money. T o buy it required financial sacrifice. It takes more sacrifice to keep it running. Your mother and I had to assume financial and moral responsibility for your actions in it before you got your license. W e carry some expensive insurance to protect us and you. Just the same, a thoughtless or rash m o v e on your part could mean ruin for us. Juries pour it on reckless drivers.

Even more important are the h u m a n factors involved. O u r good name and personal honor rest on your shoulders as well as ours — never more so than w h e n you're driving our car. I'll spare you any faltering attempts to express the love your mother and I bear for you or our constant concern for your safety. Just keep in mind that everybody is loved by someone — I m e a n the person driving with you, or behind you, or in front, or on foot in the path of your car.

A lot of responsibility to hand out, isn't it? A measure of the w a y w e feel about you is that we're glad and proud to say, "Take the car keys and have a good time!"
