W e wish to add our thanks to those people w h o made the building of the new library possible: for which ground was broken on May 12th, 1961.

Volume 25 Proctor Academy Andover, N e w Hampshire

T h e class of one thousand nine hundred sixty-one takes pleasure in dedicating this twenty-fifth edition of T h e Green Lantern to Adelaide Trask MacKenzie w h o has served as housemother in MacKenzie House for the lastfifteenyears.

A Foreword From The Headmaster The Editors and the Faculty Advisor for the Green Lantern are likely to be a m o n g the unsung heroes of any year. F e w people are aware of the fact that their organization must be set up early in the year, that they m a k e the arrangements for all the pictures in this year book, and that these pictures cover activities from September until June. They accomplish this difficult assignment with very little interference with either the class periods or the extra-curricular activities. Moreover, they conduct their affairs in a business-like manner. They have a budget of estimated expenditures, and with subscription charges and advertising stay within it. W e are grateful to them for this well organized picture of the 1960-1961 school year. T h e Class of 1961 has a m o n g its members the last boys to be enrolled in the Liberal Course, and their graduation marks the end of an important phase of Proctor's history. T h e class was the first to use the Holland Auditorium as Freshm e n , and they have seen the ground broken for the n e w library and science building. Last fall after the long string of victories by the varsity football team had been broken, I asked one of the class, w h o was on the team, h o w he felt about it, and he said to m e : "Sir, this is the second varsity football g a m e that w e have lost since 1 came here in the fall of 1957.1 can't complain very much." During its years at Proctor, the class has faced swiftly rising academic standards, and has responded to them courageously. M a y they m a k e even better records in college than they have here.

P R O C T O R PLAYERS O n Friday evening, February 10, in Holland Auditorium, the curtain went up on the Proctor Players' first production of the year. "The Importance of Being Earnest", by Oscar Wilde, was played before a packed house of Proctor students and their dates for the Winter Carnival. T h e three-act comedy was acclaimed by m a n y as one of the best yet at Proctor. T h e play took place in nineteenth century England, and was centered about a humorous situation involving Mr. J. P. Worthing (played by D a n Davis) and Algernon Moncrieff (played by James Buckner). Both have invented clever excuses to leave their respective homes and romance with their respective belles. Jack becomes engaged to Givendolan (played by Mrs. Wright), despite the the interference of Lady Bracknell, her mother (played by Mrs. Coolidge). Algy falls in love with Cecily (played by D o n n a Crisp), despite the discouraging ef-

forts of her guardian, Miss Prism (played by San White). T h e situation becomes embarassing however, w h e n the w o m e n discover that the m e n have changed their names in order to please them. With the help of Doctor Chausable (played by Jim Putnam), and some n e w information disclosed by Miss Prism, the matter is settled and happiness again reigns supreme. Also excellent in supporting roles were Lane (Jed B r u m m e r ) , Merriman (Peter Laderoutte), and the footman (Scott

Hughs). T h e cast spent weeks of work and diligent rehearsal in preparation for the presentation. M r . Condon worked tirelessly and endlessly in directing the play to success. At the final curtain, the cast presented a gift to M r . Condon, and one also to M r . A d d y for his generous contribution in helping with the play. Dan Davis

WINTER CARNIVAL O n February 9, 1961, an annual revolution occurred at Proctor. This was the biggest social event of the year, and for this, the students put d o w n their books to let interests wander elsewhere (the opposite sex). Girls, the most phenomenal creatures at Proctor, came all the way from Detroit and Canada just to take part in the biggest party weekend in the East. This is the Proctor Winter Carnival. For this, sculptures are carved out of piles of snow reaching twenty feet high. Slocum Hall is decorated, the kitchen prepares large amounts of especially good food, and m a n y other preparations are m a d e for this weekend of fun. T h e Winter Carnival began as the busses rolled in from Boston with most of the girls. (Others had masters jjick them up; since they either got stranded at White River or Concord.) A buffet supper was served of foods the boys never imagined they would ever see at Proctor: lobster, crab, turkey, and other choice morsels. Following this supper, the Proctor Players presented " T h e Importance of Being Earnest". They had put m a n y hours of hard work into this presentation, and it showed in their excellent performance. This was the perfect beginning to a weekend of fun and enjoyment, for the play set the atmosphere for the coming weekend. After the play, there was a dance in M r . Condon's room, and everyone fraternized and m a d e n e w friends. A t eleven-thirty, the boys left their dates only to meet them once again the next morning. Saturday began with the boys and dates falling out of i their beds and trudging d o w n to breakfast. But by ten o'clock, everyone seemed ready to go and once again awake.

In the morning there was a ski meet with Westmount, and the boys and dates had their choice of either watching the meet or free skiing. That day the Blackwater slopes actually looked like a ski resort. Proctor w o n the ski meet. After lunch, the participants of the weekend either skied on Slalom Hill or watched the hockey game. O n this day, Proctor played their arch rival, Holderness. (The outcome of this game is unimportant). Aboutfive-thirty,the girls retreated to their dorms to m a k e ready for the big dance and the boys did the same. Later, everyone congregated once again and had a delicious dinner. (During the meal M r . Sherman announced the time so that everyone could syncronize their watches to his.) T h e next event on the agenda was the biggest event of the whole weekend, the formal dance. T h e art committee had decorated Slocum Hall so well, that you could not recognize it. During intermission the Glee Club sang and the Brier Patch Trio did likewise. T h e n came the crowning of the Queen, and San White's date was chosen as Queen. At exactly twelve-thirty, the boys bade their dates good night, and they themselves returned to the dorms. T h e next morning some went skiing, others went skating. At eleven, the boys went to church; then everyone ate lunch; later tea at the Farrells' house and at three-o'clock, the girls boarded the busses. N o w , the only thing that remains of this weekend is the reminiscent thoughts of all the fun, and the idea that there could never possibly be a weekend quite like this again. Peter Kappel

VARSITY FOOTBALL This year's edition of the Proctor varsity football team was built around the second unit of the undefeated team of 1959. Although not overpowering in size it was fleet of foot and proved a good match for everyone of its rivals, which few people expected. T h efirstg a m e of the campaign saw the green pitted against Andover Academy. This was the team to beat for last year's g a m e had been a hard fought contest. T h e untried and somewhat green Proctor boys certainly proved themselves as they handed Andover a 22 to o defeat. In looking back, this particular g a m e gave Proctor confidence in an excellent defense and a strong offense. W e then met Brooks on a rather hot and humid afternoon. T h e most noticeable aspect of this g a m e was the 135 yards of penalties handed to the green. Even though, w e rolled easily over this opponent 12 to o. T h e trip to Canada followed. T o m a n y this was a good show because of the team's dates, and the weekend was brightened by an exciting g a m e with Proctor coming out ahead 24 to 6. U p to this point Proctor was not flashy, but a team which ground all its yardage out three to four yards at a time, with some exceptions. But in the Fryeburg g a m e Proctor showed its explosiveness as it scored touchdowns on runs of 30, 40, and 50 yards. This tended to demoralize a strong Fryeburg team w h o

had come to Proctor dead set to ruin our winning streak. T h e final score showed Proctor coming out with a 30 to 6 win which was greatly due to our strong defensive line and backfield for Fryeburg was held to minus yards on the ground. Berwick, our next encounter, was a complete success. San White and Bill Lerchen both ran for touchdowns of about 40 yards in the early minutes of the first quarter. Proctor came out in the winning end of the score. T w o of its backfield m e n were sent to the showers by Coach Wright. T h e hardest fought g a m e of the year followed against our arch rival Holderness. 'Twas inevitable that Proctor had to lose sometime and it happened in this game. Everything went against us for right at the outset our star fullback San White was hurt badly. Holderness then got two quick touchdowns. But Proctor still showed its great spirit as its defensive corps lead by Captain Bill Hajjar, N o r m Harris, and Dave Moore stopped the Holderness attack several times within the Proctor 10 yard line. T h efinalscore was 12 to 8. Next year's team will certainly miss all this year's seniors, but confident they will start another undefeated streak helped by the able coaching of M r . Wright and M r . Condon.

A J. V. FOOTBALL Our Proctor J.V.'s started off the i960 season in fine style by defeating Laconia High School 20 to 6 but they were soon checked by the Tilton Junior Varsity with a 24 to 14 loss. W e came back however by beating the team from Cardigan Mountain School. T h e next game was with N e w H a m p t o n Reserves w h o played a hard game. T h e game following this was not one to be proud of as Holderness, our friends up the valley, came d o w n to beat us. After this game came m u c h intensive drill on blocking and tackling. Our next game was against Berwick Academy in Berwick, Maine. W e w o n this game but w e still weren't throwing blocks and tackling well, so back to the drills w e went, but with the benefit of a shiny n e w blocking

sled. Following this w e had another game with N e w H a m p t o n in which w e showed m u c h improvement. T h e N e w H a m p t o n team played a hard game though they lost 56 to 0. T h e real test of the Proctor J.V.'s came with the second game against Holderness. This game was, without a doubt, the top game of the season. It was a hard fought game all the way. Rory Burke scored a touchdown in thefirstquarter and Azle A m e s lumbered across for the extra points. Holderness scored in the last quarter but was unable to gain any extra points. Thus w e w o n 8 to 6. This was our most important game of the year and every boy played his best. All things considered, the J.V.'s had a good season and finished a better team than when they started in September. Peter Ring

The Third Team

W E S T M O U N T TRIP O n Friday October 21 the football team climbed aboard the bus heading them once again to L e Canada. Here Westmount was to be their hosts over the weekend. Let's take a look and see h o w the weekend turned out. After leaving at 9:00, and stopping for lunch at Essex Junction, theflatlands of Canada began to loom ahead. Unlike last year the team arrived early, and had time for their annual work-out on thefieldthat afternoon before meeting their dates. After the workout as the bus headed for the high school the tension began to mount, for here everyone was trying to answer the most important question of the trip, " W h a t will m y date be like?" T h e team arrived at the school at about 3:30 P. M . and was greeted by curious faces peering from windows and doors. They proceeded to store their equipment until it would be put to good use the next morning. At the g y m each boy was introduced to his date, and n o w the weekend was officially underway. F r o m here what happens is questionable. T h e boys split up and go to differ-

ent houses only to meet a little later at the m a n y parties which are held. After a Friday night rest the team meets at the g y m at 8:30 to prepare for the game. Here dates, parties are forgotten and only one thought is in mind, "Beat Westmount", which w e did by an overwhelming score of 24-7. After the game, once again the business at hand was taken up, having fun, and this everyone did. After the rounds of congratulations in the locker room everyone went their w a y once again, some leaving for a party over at M.J.'s or some leaving to find fun such as the McGill football game. At dinner time everyone shows up for different parties and then at the dance at the high school. After the dance people go to different parties. T h e next morning, everyone staggers to the bus as it leaves from "Westmount". A n d so once again it is good-by to Westmount for nother year.

T H E VARSITY SKI TEAM This year thirty boys signed up for the ski team. Out of these thirty boys ten of the best skiers were chosen to represent Proctor Academy by being on the varsity ski team. The team started its season off even before the snow had come by working on the 23 meter jump and managed to change it into a 30 meter in three weeks. Besides working on the jump they also had work-outs to condition themselves for skiing itself. Four days after vacation the varsity ski team started its season with a meet against Vermont Academy. Even though the term tried hard they couldn't m a k e up for the three extra weeks of skiing that Vermont Academy had had. Four days later on January 11 the team took on the Dartmouth and U . N . H . Freshmen. Even though there was a great difference in age the team managed to overcome the U.N.H. Freshmen. T h e Dartmouth Freshmen took the lead. Then came the Lakes Regions Meet with eleven schools competing. T h e boys of the school showed excellent spirit in helping to put on the meet on our o w n slopes. At the end Proctor placed third with Holderness second and Kimball Union a tight first. O n February 11 Westmount came d o w n from way up in Canada, and competed against the varsity team. But with skill and the right wax, the varsity team managed to take a victory for themselves. Following immediately afterwards on February 15, the varsity team engaged themselves in battle with N e w H a m p ton and Tilton on our o w n slopes, and again with the superior skill and cunningness which the team had used formerly, N e w H a m p t o n and Tilton were toppled from their high perch.

T h e n on March fourth and fifth the varsity team, n o w cut d o w n to eight men, stumbled up to Middlebury for the Interscholastics. This was the big meet of the season in which fifteen schools competed. Here the invincible team from Proctor Academy didn't appear as invincible as they had hoped, but still they did a good job with what they had. At the end of the meet the boys pulled in with an eight place compared to last year's third. After this slight set back the boys with their coach m a d e the long journey into the wilderness of Canada and competed against Canadian high schools and Lyndon High School from Vermont. Here the team showed their great, previously hidden, team spirit, and with the help of the formidable captain, Ervin Nelson, managed to defeat Westmount, Ottawa Tech., St. Agathe, Beaconsfield, St. Pats, Loyola and Glebe. Proctor placed fourth behind Lyndon High, L. C. C , and Sedberg. Also, during the year the team traveled to the m a n y U S E A S A races which took place within easy reach. O n February twenty-fifth two boys, Ervin Nelson and Philip Wilding-White, went to the Eastern championships. Ervin Nelson went to the Alpines at Canon Mt., Franconia, and Philip Wilding-White went to the nortics for cross-country at Berlin, N . H . T h e team had a hard season this year because of the loss of two good skiers at graduation last year. But this year the team spirit was a great deal better and the boys, by the end of the year, learned h o w to ski a team race. Next year the team hopes to have an even greater amount of skiers on the team and is looking forward to a successful season.

J. V. SKI

This year the J.V. ski team tried something new. After a rigorous training period, w e split into two groups, A, B, and C teams. T h e C team was the first of its kind as it was coached by three students, David Moore, Chris Wittaker, and Henry Gulick. T h e B team was coached by M r . Littlefield. Since this was thefirstyear of competition for most of us w e learned to jump and run cross country. This was quite an experience for everyone.

TEAM

In most of our meets T. Gilbert and Boyle were a m o n g the top racers. Jim Boyle was involved in out only freak accident of the year w h e n he hit a car while jumping at N e w H a m p t o n . Everyone improved during the year, and althougr w e lost our meets with Cardigan and Holderness w( did well in the meet against Westmount. This was : varsity meet but m a n y of the J.V.'s did better than som< of the varsity. Donald Sturges

SKI S C H O O L This year's ski school did m a n y things to its credit. Its purpose is to teach those people w h o are stupid enough to want to learn h o w to ski, the basic and fundamental elements of the sport. It utilizes all the school's available slopes for this. T h e boys all start out in the first class which is for the beginners, and work their way up to the sixth which is the highest. Once in the sixth, they begin to teach the boys in the lower classes some of the material they have learned. This year, as in past years also, w e were fortunate enough to have M r . Coolidge direct the school. H e was able to have two teachers from Sunapee come twice a week to aid him in his arduous task of teaching us h o w to ski. N o t only were they good skiers, but they also added color and h u m o u r to the whole operation.

T h e accomplishments of this program were clearly shown at the end of the year w h e n so m a n y people were able easily to whiz d o w n the Blackwater which is considered quite difficult. O n e of the other great accomplishments of the ski school was the incredibly fast time that Slade Lander, one of its members, was able to run the Gannett House Giant Slalom, a remarkable n.8 seconds! O n e of the truly great things about the ski school is the trophy for the best improved skier, which this year went to Jason Lack. All in all, the Ski School was a great success, and all its members feel that it was worth the long, cold, jerky, but convenient truck rides that w e so frequently enjoyed.

VARSITY H O C K E Y Despite the record of this year's varsity hockey team (1-12), I sincerely believe that w e could have beaten any team in the league. I'm not making excuses like "wait for next year," I'm just stating a fact. T h e team started slowly and had a difficult time getting to work as a team. The team improved throughout the season. This is proven by hard, cold facts. W e played Holderness the first time and lost 4-1. W e played the second time only to lose out in the last period, while being hindered by penalties. T h e Tilton g a m e was nothing less than a romp, with Tilton scoring four in thefirstperiod, and

went on to win 6 to o. Again w e played Tilton w h o was unbeaten, untied, and even unscored upon in league play. T h e g a m e was closely fought and with four minutes left, Tilton squeezed one through the nets. T h e Green skaters however didn't give up, and with 15 seconds left p u m p e d one in to lock the score. A fluke overtime spoiled the effort but you can see that they had improved. T h e records might say differently but this year Proctor had a hard fighting, battling, and good hockey team. John Eiseman

LACROSSE

Lacrosse m a d e its debut this year as a varsity sport with a g a m e against Holderness, which w e w o n by one point. W e worked long and hard in preparation for this game. O u r basic training started with drills run in the snow in March. It was then that w e were introduced to the "loop" which w e were expected to run every day. W h e n w e discovered that the snow was gone from a field near the Sport Haven Motel w e decided to run down there as a substitute for the loop. It was here that we played our first intersquad scrimmage and learned the basic plays under g a m e conditions.

Our season was not a complete success. However, w e did win our first and last games. T h e last g a m e was against N e w England College, a tough college team. A s a team w e have done the best w e knew h o w throughout the season and in the last game all our defeats were taken out on the N e w England team. F r o m the fine showing that has been m a d e this year we can be sure lacrosse will continue to be a number one sport at Proctor.

T H E SAILING TEAM O n October 20, Proctor became one of the twelve charter members of the N e w England Preparatory School Sailing Association. A s all the m e m b e r schools decided to schedule their meets in the spring and because our coach, Mr. Coolidge is also in charge of the ski program, w e confined our fall activities to trail clearing and other miscellaneous projects which happened to benefit the ski program. Our spring schedule opened with a warm-up meet at Medford, Mass., where Sears Wullschleger reconfirmed the fact that the "Turnabout Class" sailboat is not yet aware of our great potential. W e shall not elaborate on the results of the Nelson Bowl Regatta. O n M a y 13 C o m m o d o r e N a t Dodge and Dave Walters and their crews went to Easthampton, Mass., where w e defeated Williston and Loomis by a 2-1-0 score. Dodge and Walters proved an excellent combination with Dodge displaying superior team racing tactics while Walters continued to move his boat to top scoring positions. O n M a y twenty w e entertained the Schools Sailing Club on our lake. Dodge, Walters and Dave Cook were the winning combination defeating Schools 4-2. O n e capsize and

several knock-downs m a d e this one of our most exciting meets. W e took to the road again on M a y twenty-fifth to Marion, Mass., where Tabor Academy outsailed us by a 2-4 score. Our inability to pull this one out can be traced to our failure to maintain the initiative during the important first phases of each race. Dodge, Walters and Cook represented Proctor in this meet. On M a y twenty-seventh, M.I.T. hosted the first N.E.P.S.S.A. regatta. Each m e m b e r school was represented in two divisions. Dodge and Walters sailed for Proctor. After m a n y protests and eight races in the two divisions, Proctor emerged in third place having defeated Mt. H e r m o n , Commonwealth, Tabor, St. George's, Loomis, Portsmouth Priory and Northfield. T h e Cheshire team sailed an almost perfect series winning the regatta and Williston edged us out of second place. Next year w e look forward to an expanded schedule with a young but seasoned squad. Commodore-elect Wullschleger will have plenty of talent to build from with Knapp, Cook, Taylor, Burke and others returning. David

'â&#x20AC;˘"3)t#t& T h e J.V. Baseball T e a m

If you were to judge the J. V.'s on our record of only one win, your opinion of us might not be too high. A team of "has beens", and "never weres" you would label us. Well, this isn't true; we're not a team of "has beens", "never weres"; but a team of "are going to be". T h e Junior Varsity is a place where Proctor boys learn h o w to play ball, and in the Varsity they play it. W e learn h o w to hit, tofield,to run, to win, and to lose. But more important w e learn h o w to be a team, not nine players. N o one player can win or lose a game, no one player can retire the side; it takes three m e n to m a k e a double play. T w o m e n to put a runner out, and even two m e n to strike a m a n out. For a club to win it has to try, and for it to lose it has to try less than the other team, or play a team better than they. We've played teams better than us. Next year w e might be on the J.V.'s again to learn more than w e k n o w now. But that's what it's for: to teach. Slade Lander

BASEBALL T h e 1961 edition of the Proctor A c a d e m y varsity baseball team had its share of hard luck as well as compiling a fair record. In spite of the final record, m a n y observers agreed that this ball club could have been one of Proctor's finest. O u r initial contest was with our traditional rival Holderness, our friends up the valley. Proctor led in the early innings but some early season jitters in the field and on the m o u n d paved the way for a Holderness victory. Harris Shenker went the distance for the big Green and absorbed the loss. Revenge came soon, however. After posting a 4-3 triumph over Fryeburg, this big team rolled all over our hapless friends from Holderness to the tune of 23-0. Flanders, Davis, and Maclachlan set a torrid pace with the lumber while Savage pitched a brilliant 2 hitter for the victory. T h e following week, Proctor rolled to one of its greatest victories. T h e Big Green spoiled a spring week

end at N e w H a m p t o n by soundly beating a top-rated N e w H a m p t o n Club 11-7. Davis and Shenker, w h o had a homer, batted Proctor to victory, while Shenker also was superlative on the m o u n d . Proctor rolled to its 4th straight victory w h e n they defeated Berwick 11-5 on the Hilltoppers o w nfield.Again, it was Savage for the victory, but this time with some great relief help from Schofield. T h e n the real troubles came. Proctor lost its last four games and finished with a 4-5 won-lost record. T w o games were postponed because of rain. All of these games were lost on miscues both afield and on the bases but, otherwise, were well played. T h e big Proctor pitching staff was most effective in all of these games. T h e team was composed largely of seniors and all of them will be missed next year. They are, N o r m Schofield, James Maclachlan, Jay Reilly, Bill Lercher, D a n Davis, San White, Capt. Chief Flanders, and K e n Savage. Dan Davis

VARSITY TENNIS T h e theme of this year's Varsity tennis team was experience. T h e team consisted of three freshmen, one sophomore, one junior and a senior. W e lost several players of last year's squad to Lacrosse and Baseball. It was probably one of the youngest teams in Proctor's history. W e played mostly against older competition. T h e only two teams that w e had a chance against were Tilton and Laconia. T h e older and more experienced competition made it rough on everyone. T h e most successful player of the season was Townsend Gilbert. T h o u g h only a freshman he w o n several of his matches against seniors and juniors. H e w o n his matches against Tilton, N e w H a m p t o n and went to three sets against Laconia. O u r Captain, Mike Burtt did an excellent job. H e is probably the player with the most experience. Mike will be returning next year and should lend his efforts to a successful season. S a m Laundon was one of the strongest spots in the lineup. H e played very well in the number three position. S a m played as well as he could against older and more experienced opposition. Zander Smith was the number four m a n . H e is one of the three freshmen on the team. By the end of the season Zander had gained m u c h needed experience. Next vear should be a lot more successful.

As the only graduating senior and number five m a n for most of the season I had a hard time against better competition. In m y opinion next year w e should have one of the better teams of the Spring sports season. Chris Saunders was our number six m a n . Chris rounded out the freshmen trio. H e came close to winning several of his matches notably against Laconia, where he came out second best on the end of an 8-6 score. Dick Rapalyea played several varsity matches. His performances show definite promise for next year. A m o n g other Junior Varsity players likely to m a k e the squad will be Jed B r u m m e r and Jim Smith. T h e whole team would like to thank M r . Littlefield for his excellent coaching and driving ability. Between physics and tennis, he gave us quite a few pointers. H e should have a successful team next year. W e would like to thank M r . Wright for setting up the schedules and Charlie for preparing the early meals. W e did not have a winning team but still w e had a good time out on the courts. In m y five years I have seen m a n y tennis teams of varying ability. However, none of those teams have had the promise for the future that this 1961 Varsity tennis team has. It should be one of the best teams Proctor has ever had. Ernest Wagley

J. V. T E N N I S

Defeated often, victorious never, the J. V. Tennis T e a m survived its 1961 season. At the beginning of our spring practice, w e were confronted with about twelve eager, enthusiastic and inexperienced tennis players; but, by the end of our season, w e experienced every type of situation one might encounter on the court. Sportsmanship showed up in every player which was certainly an asset to the team and to Proctor. D u e to the amount

of players it was hard to get organized and off to our matches, but everything seemed to turn outfine,except for the results of our matches. O u r first match came with Tilton. A sincere gentleman's match was played, but w e were pushed to defeat. More defeats by Holderness and other schools, but still good sportsmanship was displayed in every match. L. Lichtenstein

GOLF

This year the golf team had ten scheduled games but only played six. In these remaining games they w o n two and lost four. Last year they only w o n one out of eight and the one against Colby Junior College. O n e victory that will long be remembered is the one over M r . Britton, the coach. This was at the g a m e of G.H.O.S.T. W h a t was the most amusing part about it is that the g a m e was M r . Britton's idea. T h e team looks quite promising for next year for there were onlv three seniors on the top ten. It con-

sisted of two freshmen, one sophomore, four juniors anc three seniors. Each one has had his taste of victory, defeat, joys, and disapointments, all of which are needed tc build the team's spirit. Although the season has prover to be a rough one, the team has adapted to each new situation and has held its own. M a n y of the player: have improved their game, which is always pleasing Both the coaches and the team will agree in saying tha this year was quite productive, not in victories, but ii experience.

Proctor Academy June 3, 1961

Nothing passes so rapidly as Time. The year has c o m e and gone quickly and graduation is here. With many of us old friendships will be broken and our days at Proctor will become only memories. It is an old story, repeated year after year. Looking backward over the year we find many happy times and only a few sorrowful ones. It would be hard to reminisce this past year without recalling our sixteen straight victories and the last g a m e (enough said). Hardly anyone will forget waking up early one winter morning to the sound of the fire siren and finding the fire just across the street. As everyone will remember it was quite a fire and who was that I saw breaking windows where there wasn't any fire. This year's Senior class has the distinction of being the last liberal class at Proctor. In the four years that w e have been here w e have seen many important changes. W e were one of the first to attend classes in the new Holland Memorial building and right now we are witnessing a new library-science building under construction. Our class is the largest ever that's been at Proctor and quite a few of the class have been here four years. The year has been an eventful one for our class and for Proctor itself. W e have gained a great deal of experience through the class room and our student government positions. With the thoughts of their kindness and helpfulness upmost in our minds, we thank the masters and their wives for all their unselfish aid in making our Senior year enjoyable and rewarding. Leonard Elden President of the Senior Class
