Tim Fuller was a member of the Class of 1975, active in A.F.S., Boy Scouts, and with the Senior Citizens of the Falmouth community. An excellent athlete, he exhibited his talent as a shot putter in Winter and Spring Track and played the dual role of defensive and offensive tackle on the 1973 Clippers Football Squad. Tim Fuller was well-liked by his peers and the faculty; he remains loved and respected by all. At the prime age of seventeen, Tim ' s life was lost to cancer. Knowing that he devoted his life to living, we offer our dedication to him and L ' chaim. TIM FULLER “Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage.” —Robert Louis Stevenson 5

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.

Hyannis, Massachusetts Publisher ' s Representative Robert Vantine of DELMAR, Wellesley, MA The theme of our book represents an emanation, a coming forth, a sudden, hastened uprooted departure from the past. Our origin took form as bewildered Freshmen in an open-campused, over-crowded Law- rence High; we transcended time to mark our terminus as sophisticated seniors at this new high school. We emerge to become, to create, to exhibit what- ever individually we disire. We aspire to exist, stress- ing our talents, becoming totally ourselves, refusing to conform to standards other than our own. Emergence has become our Fountainhead” which each individual has acquired by his own means. It will remain a motivating factor in our lives as we continue to emerge, to become better. The name Lawrencian has surfaced on the cover of the high school yearbook since 1943. This year, upon entering Falmouth High, we found it necessary to break with many old traditions, while substituting more adaptable, meaningful ones. We offer the name Clipper Compact on its maid- en voyage whose subtitle will change yearly to ex- press the theme of the book. We sincerely hope Clipper Compact will find successful acceptance among its readers and maintain the kind of longevity its traditional ancestor enjoyed. Carmen Santos ' 74 6
