Logos and school colors evolve gradually over time. In the 1960s, the school seal competed with a figure of a ski jumper as Proctor's emblem on everything from ashtrays and mugs to carpets. "The Pill" (the word Proctor in an oval with a pine tree behind the second O) reigned from the late-70s until a few years ago, when the oval was eliminated (top left). Green and white became accented with gold on game uniforms in the '80s. Now, increasingly, black accents the green and white, and sometimes dominates. The look is smart and popular with students, many of whom wear "Proctor Gear" regularly. Yesterday, a student-initiated spirit contest called for us to sport Proctor Gear, and we responded dramatically.
The book store does a brisk business peddling Proctor flip flops, T-shirts, sweatshirts, hoods, pants, sportsbags, water bottles, stadium blankets and much more. It's cool stuff, and--as I said--it's popular.
I do not suspect that these girls are shopping for Proctor fashions on-line, but you can email Alex Estin (alexe@proctornet.com) with your credit card in hand, and let the magic happen!
Student leaders created a contest by asking all those in a given class wearing Proctor Gear to stand and be counted (roughly) in assembly. The results: juniors received 550 points (whatever that means,) sophomores were next, then ninth graders, seniors and faculty.
