ROBERT M. FISHER

oA Word from Mr. Farrell

As you all heard too many times during the last year, the Class of 1954 is the 25th which I have seen graduate from Proctor. The class contained neither the best students nor the best athletes w h o m I have seen graduate, but the group is certainly ruggedly individualistic. From the time when the class entered as fresh­men until I handed them their diplomas, there ̂ vere few dull moments in living and working with them. I believe that there are great potentialities in the class for strong leadership in business and the professions, if the members of the class will live up to the high ideals that we have labored to teach them.

As I look back over the 1953-1954 school year, I get the general impression that the year was a happy and successful one. The school government was effi­cient, the many activities seemed to be filled with enthusiastic participants, most boys accomplished their objectives, and faculty morale seemed to be high. The weather was not very kind in regard to snow this winter and the superabundance of rain in May, but nevertheless, our athletic teams performed creditably. W e won the Holderness football game, and a fair proportion of our other contests with our traditional rival. W e won both of our much publicized international contests with our good Canadian friends at Westmount High School. These vic­tories would have made a satisfactory year if we had lost all others, which we did not. Much more important is the fact that I believe that we added to our already good reputation for sportsmanship and gentlemanly conduct.

I would like to extend m y thanks to everyone for all their kindness in com­memorating my 25th anniversary at Proctor. Mrs. Farrell and I deeply appreciate the many complimentary things that were said, and the large sum of money that was raised to go into school projects. M y great problem comes in trying to ap­proach, even remotely, the man described at the Anniversary Banquet.

Football O n September 17, 1953 twenty-seven boys

returned for four days of intensive drill and conditioning. By the time school opened the boys were in fine condition due to the able coaching of Mr. Wright, Mr. Camp, and Mr.

Farrell. The first game was against Vermont Acad­

emy on our field. Proctor was lacking in ex­perience and lost to Vermont 33-13. Through­out the game Proctor tried hard to overcome its inexperience, but the fumbles and errors by the runners and linemen set the pace for the defeat. Vermont was ahead at the half 7-6 and went on to increase its margin despite Proctor's defensive plays.

The next game was against Tilton at Proc­

tor. The team, a bit discouraged after their first loss, came back to defeat Tilton 19-0 in a well played game. In this game Proctor started completing its passes, running the proper assignments, and in general looked like a promising team. After hard practice, the line started holding and the backs worked well with the line.

The following week, Proctor played Brooks School for the first time, without any knowl­edge of its offense or defense. In this game Proctor gambled on new plays which turned out to be very successful, as Proctor won 14-6. It was a very clean game and we are looking forward to many games with Brooks in the future.

The next Saturday Proctor journeyed out of the country to play its international friends at Westmount High School, Montreal. Each year the boys enjoy the Canadian hospitality. This year was especially enjoyable since we brought back the Doug Smaill Trophy. This was the first time since 1950 that Proctor has had the honor of holding this trophy. The teams fought hard throughout the game. The first half was played under American rules which gave Proctor the winning point as we won 18-17.

Proctor continued its winning streak by swamping the N e w Hampton J. V.'s 14-0. In this game the fans saw a mature and well run team. By this time the boys had confidence in each other. The second string team played in the last few minutes of the game and came close to scoring, only to be stopped by the clock.

The final game of the season was played

against our rival Holderness. It was a very

clean game, as there were no penalties against

either team. Steve Speliotis rammed through

the center for five yards producing the only touchdown of the game. Newell Freeman

carried the ball over the line for the extra

point and a 7-0 victory for Proctor. Thus

Proctor finished the season with a very im­

pressive record and the school sincerely wishes

Artie Pratt and the next year's football hope­

fuls the best of luck.

Thanks should go to the coaches: Spencer

Wright, Jack Camp, and Lyle Farrell; for an

excellent job done in the past season. Much

credit should be given to Bob Batal who cap­tained the squad and was the main sparkplug in keeping the team's spirit up during the season.

Thanksgiving with rope climbing and other vigorous exercises in the gym. This was usual­ly followed by running the cross country course. Most of the boys looked forward to ski camp January 1st, but it was cancelled due to

lack of snow. The Proctor A. and B. teams had their first

meet with the University of N e w Hampshire freshmen. Led by Co-Captains Herb Pitcher and Bob Ludwig, the ski team did well racing as a team but did not have enough experience to place first. First place in downhill was taken by U. N. H. followed closely by Carl Parker. In cross-country Blackall and Moulton

were the two top on team score. Quimby fin­ished first for the A. team in jumping. In slalom the two top places on the team were taken by Parker and Moulton. The next meet at Vermont Academy was

only a two eventer due to lack of snow. V. A. scored 100% in both cross-country and jump­ing. Parker was top man for us placing ninth. Doc. Camp said: "I think that V. A. showed the finest team jumping in interscholastic competition." Blackall was first for Proctor by placing fifth in cross-country.

Holderness, Lebanon, and Hanover met us here for another two event meet in which we placed second. Lebanon was first. Moulton

led all in cross-country. Parker was Proctor's next man coming in fifth. Quimby and Pitcher placed top for us in the jumping.

Our traditional International Ski Meet with Westmount turned out a victory for Proctor. Towle High School of Newport, N. H. fin­ished last while Proctor B. team gained third place. Proctor won downhill, cross-country, and slalom. Jumping was not included in team score.

Holderness, Laconia, and Proctor at Hol­derness was another meet we placed well in. W e won cross-country and downhill with Blackall the outstanding runner in the cross­country. In slalom Carl Parker was fourth followed by Hodgkins and Quimby. Pitcher placed first for the team in jumping with seventh place. Blackall followed close behind him.

In the interscholastics held at Norwich University in Northfield, Vt., we took fourth

in the most efficiently run meet the team had all year. For the only time this year the boys made unusually unsteady runs. Blackall was the only man placing in the top ten. Slalom on Saturday morning took its toll in falls, but we still took third place in team score. Pitcher was fifteenth and our first man. Hodg­kins placed first for Proctor in downhill and eighth in that event. Because of lack of ex­perience on big jumps, Proctor did not fare too well.

The Proctor B. team had a successful season taking Holderness, Lebanon, and Woodstock Country Day School. Mainly the B. team had a great time.

Since Pitcher is the only one leaving the team, the outlook for next season is excellent under the leadership of Captain Bob Ludwig.

A high-light of the season was the ski holi­day at Pico Peak on March 11th. The picture below brings back memories of that day.

VARSITY BASEBALL TEAM

Back row: Chase, Henderson, Managers, Mr. Camp, Coach, L. Jones, Hamp, Darna, Quimby, Freeman, Mr. Caron, Coach, Copellman, Manager. Front row: W. Shaw, Clarke, Donaldson, Batal, Captain, Casten, Nash, Goldberg, Leighton.

"Baseball, 1954

The 1954 Varsity Baseball team showed fine

potentialities and if the weather had been

better, there were chances of a sterling ball

club. The team was fast and had some power­

ful hitters. Their pitching and catching staff

couldn't have been much better. Donaldson

and Darna were the starting pitchers and Bob

Batal was a very reliable relief hurler. Allen

Quimby started most of the games behind the

plate and was relieved by Glenn Casten.

W h e n not pitching, Captain Bob Batal

handled first base. Mike Nash's excellent

fielding and Larry Jones' superb arm com­

prised a dependable double-play combination.

It was either Ed Darna or Donaldson on third

depending on which was pitching.

The Daisy pickers were: Newell Freeman,

Bill Shaw, Nick Hamp, Bob Clark, Bob Gold­

berg, and Glenn Casten.

The team took its first game, which was

with Tilton, by a score of 18-5. Ed Darna

pitched the whole game and the bats of the

Proctor players were most effective. G a m e

number 2 was with Brewster and, after a close

game, Brewster emerged as the victor by 2-0.

The Brewster pitcher had the Proctor bats

well silenced. Holderness was the next foe and

the Proctor nine bowed 10-4 although the

game was much closer than the score indi­

cates. Next on the line was Brewster and

again they emerged victor 6-5 in thirteen in­

nings. Ed Darna pitched the whole game and

deserved to win. Next was N e w Hampton,

and once more Proctor bowed by one run

8-7 in fourteen long innings. These one run

losses showed that the team had material and

fight, but not enough luck.

The J. V. team had a good season winning

three and losing two games. The team was

mostly comprised of underclassmen which in­

sures material for next year's Varsity.

Much credit should be given to Mr. Camp,

Mr. Caron, and Mr. Wright for the teams

they produced.

J. V. BASEBALL TEAM

Back row: Dahlgren, Manager, Shipton, Williams, Horton, Martin, Greene, Leathern, Miller, Vaughan, S. Jackson, Gill, Manager. Front row: Mr. Wright, Coach, Johnson, Davis, Llewellyn, Blake, Hodgkins, Cap­tain, English, Moulton, E. Jones, Myers.

VARSITY TENNIS TEAM

Back row: Humphrey, Manager, Hawley, Linderme, Captain, Mr. Fisher, Coach, Pratt, Cooke. Front row: Weeks, Riley.

Tennis Fall tennis this year had a big turn-out;

there were thirty-six in all. Because of this

large group we were divided up into three

sections so that everyone had a chance to

play. Only one match was scheduled in the

fall and that was with K. U. A. w h o m we

beat six matches to three. A week later we

went down to Colby Jr. College in informal

doubles.

W h e n spring came there were quite a few

play-offs for positions. W h e n the six positions

were finally secured w e were ready for the

first match. The team of 1954 looked as if they

had the ability and the spirit to win. This

first match was with Holderness. W e beat

them 8 to 1, only losing one doubles match.

The next match was with the Exeter TV's

who turned out to be an experienced team.

They beat us 8 to 1. Jay Cooke won the only

match for us that day.

W e then encountered Brooks School which

had a very strong team. They beat us in a hard

fought match 5 to 0.

N o w came the big event of the year, going

to the Interscholastics at Exeter. Unfortunate­

ly all our singles men met much stronger

opponents and were defeated. Our only match

that went past the first round was our number

one doubles team, Artie Pratt and Captain Ed

Linderme, but even they lost the second round.

So we came back defeated, knowing however,

we had done our best.

The last match of the year was with Ver­

mont Academy. Our hopes were high and we

wanted to take this last match. As it turned

out we were on the losing end, 8 to 1. Artie

Pratt was the only one to win his singles.

Looking back, this year's record is not too

impressive, but we did show improvement

as the year went on.

Unfortunately we are losing two of our

three top men this year: Kirk Weeks and

Captain Linderme whom the team will miss.

Artie Pratt, Jay Cooke, Dave Hawley, and

Stu Riley will all be back.

The JV's are losing three letter men: Hank

Cushman, Dick Arnold, and Mike Crute. The

rest of the team is expected back. The JV's

had an unsuccessful season. They lost to all

three opponents: Holderness, Laconia, and

K. U. A., but they showed they were learning

to play good, sound tennis.

'Proctor Sailing Qlub

The fall season of the Proctor Sailing Club started off well with twenty-seven boys. The boys who go out for sailing must compete both in the fall and in the spring in order to be eligible for a varsity letter. The first week of sailing was spent fixing

and sanding the boats and painting the ones that needed it. The weather for the most part during the fall was poor due to the fact that there was little or no wind. This made it quite hard to make an)' headway.

The lirst meet that we had was four days after school started, against the Schools Sail­ing Club of Andover, Mass. For this meet we sailed on Highland Lake. The second Regatta was at Wakefield, Mass. and was sponsored by the Schools Sailing Club. Proctor was rep­resented in the College Freshman and in the prep school division. W e lost in the prep school division 121 to 12 i, and we tied for third in the college Freshman division; those who beat us in this division were Harvard and M. 1. T. O n October the 21st we met with

St. Paul's School at Highland Lake. W e won by a score of 53 to 31. Our final meet was with Exeter on our lake, but we lost by a score of 61 to 58.

In the spring the sailing team had nine scheduled meets but four of them were called off because of rain. The first spring meet was on April 17th at the Interscholastics at Provi­dence. Proctor did poorly, finishing ninth out of eleven. The second meet was on the 24th of April against the Schools Sailing Club. W e placed fourth out of thirteen.

A m o n g the top skippers of the season were Commodore Bob Rohrer, Duncan Mclnnes, Tony Perot, Jim Graves, Verne Harris, and Ned Bradley. Manager Frank Coron did an excellent job keeping the Club in perfect running condition.

A great deal of credit should be given to Mr. Coolidge and Mr. Owen for their organ­izing ability and for the time and effort they put in transporting the boys to the various meets and practices.

This year an elite group of students gath­ered together in the earl}- fall to decide what play would be presented to the school this year. The play to be given was "The Man W h o Came To Dinner" raid was scheduled for the Friday of Winter Carnival. The actual work on the play didn't start

until two weeks before Christmas vacation with the try-outs for all the parts. After sev­eral readings the cast was announced. Each player received a book in which he was to spend bis time until his part was polished.

Rehearsal after tehearsal followed. As the time grew short, everyone put more into each line and near perfection was reached. Under the able direction of Mr. Owen, the produc­tion looked as if it were straight off Broadway. The play opens in a private house in a

small town in Ohio, where Sheridan White­side, critic, lecturer, wit, and radio operator.

(Joe Steuer) has injured his hip. He is com­plete!) taking over the home of the Stanleys beside suing them for SI 50,000, because of the injuries suffered on their doorstep. From then on the play is just a collection of char­

acters; a cockroach-hunting professor (Harry Brigham), a famous English actor-lover (Bill Kane), Old Harriet Sedley (Lee Norris), the

famous ax murderess who killed her parents some years before, the beautiful actress Lor­raine Sheldon (Jayne Coolidge), not to men­tion a Hollywood nitwit actor-director called Bango (Larry Freiberger). It is just the won­derful confusing plot which makes this great play.

W e of the Players would like to thank Mr. Owen, Mrs. Coolidge, Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Boy­den, and Mrs. Phelps for helping us have a good time doing the thing we like to do.

JHT/7 to Westmount

Five years ago was the beginning of a won­derful friendship. Each year we have traveled to Canada to compete in an international foot­ball game and Westmount has come here for an annual ski meet. This competition has been the high-light of every year in sports. It is foremost in the minds of each graduating

class. This year the football team went to West-

mount to bring home the trophy, and this they did. After the most thrilling game of the year, the score ended 18 to 17 in favor of the green. This football game is a very interesting one; one half is played with American rules, the other with Canadian rules. At times each team seems completely baffled as to the play going on. The Canadians play with 12 men and have 3 downs to make 10 yards. The

American rules state 11 players and 4 downs

to make 10 yards. There are other minor dif­

ferences which add interest to the game. As for skiing, both teams race under the inter­

national rules. Deep friendship is the feeling between the

two schools. W h e n the football team goes north, the Westmounters go out of their way

to make things pleasant for us. There are all

kinds of parties for our benefit and we are entertained in the homes for the weekend. W e live like kings during out stay in Mon­

treal. W e try to duplicate this kindness when

the Westmounters visit us for the annual ski meet.

Hail to Westmount! May we always be friends and sports rivals!

Andrew Jackson s Last Letter

from His Mother

"Andrew, if I should not see you again, I wish you to remember

and treasure up some things I have already said to you: In this world

you will have to make your own way. To do that you must have friends.

You can make friends by being honest, and you can keep them by being

steadfast. You must keep in mind that friends worth having will in

the long run expect as much from you as they give to you. To forget

an obligation or be ungrateful for a kindness is a base crime — not

merely a fault or a sin but an actual crime. Men guilty of it sooner or

later must suffer the penalty. In personal conduct be always polite, but

never obsequious. No one will respect you more than you esteem your­

self. Avoid quarrels as long as you can without yielding to imposition.

But sustain your manhood always. Never bring a suit at law for assault

and battery or for defamation. The law affords no remedy for such

outrages that can satisfy the feelings of a true man. Never wound the

feelings of others. Never brook wanton outrage upon your own feelings.

If ever you have to vindicate your feelings or defend your honor, do

it calmly. If angry at first, wait until your wrath cools before you

proceed." —Compliments of Grateful Parents
