...proctor didn't help much, either. Carlo's proctor was a paunch, balding Deerfield grad named Nick who worked in the dean's office; he looked and sounded like Ed Mac-Mahon with a Boston Brahmin accent.

Carlo felt very uneasy around Nick, and as Nick felt very uneasy around any outsider who knew what went on in his room over the weekend neither of them...

If Charlotte's husband Carl Magnus (Nick Littlefield) is somewhat wooden, his stiffness is forgivable on two counts: first, he is, after all, no more than a "tin soldier," and secondly, he can sing. In this show, that is no small boon. On the other hand, Bonny Fay Landers's Madame Armfeldt, Desiree's mother...
Following along in the squadron line are the freshmen, who really bring a smile to Horn's face. Last weekend skippers Steve Strittmatter and Nick Stone led the yardlin shipmates past the Coast Guard Academy and B.U. to take home first place at the season's first freshman invitational.
