Robert E. Flynn The Falmouth School Community was indeed saddened last year by the untimely death of Robert E. Flynn, a high school guidance counselor. Mr. Flynn came to Lawrence High in 1969 after spending 21 years in the U.S. Army and working as a high school college placement counselor. He enjoyed his work immensely, and this was reflected in his perceptive wit and keen sense of humor. Mr. Flynn was always the first one in to work in the morning, usually arriving well before school began. He was a fantastic organizer and paid very close attention to detail. In addition, he was an inveterate reader who had a knack for recalling information. If there was any doubt in anyone ' s mind about anything. Bob could be counted on to come up with the right answer. He is sorely missed by his fellow counselors, teachers, and administrators, but most of all by the students and parents of Falmouth. In Fond Memory Ernest Economides Ernie Economides knew the members of the Class of 1974; he knew them well, they were his peers. Our class, along with the entire Falmouth community, was deeply shocked and saddened to learn of Ernie ' s tragic and untimely death; seldom has a more popular student attended high school here. Ernie was committed — as few others have been — to the athletic enrichment and growth of the youth of Falmouth. His interest was genuine, sincere; he dedicated much of his time toward development and improvement. It is that spirit that we honor here.

Lyrics as written by Mr. William Fraher Finian ' s Rainbow Thank-you Oh, my heart is beating wildly And it ' s all because you ' re here. When I ' m not near the cast that I love, I love my group this year. Every scene that you did for me Twas a joy just to behold, You all were so perfect I feel a bit burbish So believe me kids I ' m sold. My heart ' s in a pickle Because I ' m much too partickle. But now I know just who to adore. Before the last curtain There ' s one thing that ' s certain. It ' s the Class of ' 74. Vivian ' s tall and slender, Mary is short and tender. Long as they got that talent I ' m Prince Valiant. Sometimes I was much to hellish But always you rang my bellish Long as you have that goodness . . . I ' m wordless. I ' m confessing a confession And I hope I ' m not verbose. When I ' m not close to The kids that I cling to My pressure goes up with a roar. As I more and more get older I am more and more a case. So on this last curtain There ' s one thing that ' s certain, I love you ' 74. I ' m thankful to Dennis Who ' s really no menace. And to Lucy who ' s more than 3 4. So on this last curtain. I ' m once again certain, I love you ' 74. 3
