Cross Country Fall of 1976 was a rewarding season for both the Girls’ and Boys’ Cross Country teams. After dropping their first dual meets, the young and inex- perienced boys’ team went on to build themselves into one of the stronger teams in the state. High point of the season was a surprising victory in the all-conference meet, where the Clippers outraced a heavily favored D-Y team to win the tough SMC Division I championship. It was the first defeat for D-Y since the league was formed. Captain and undisputed leader of the FHS squad was senior Brad Robin- son. Brad established himself as one of the premier distance runners in the region by beating all but one of his league opponent s. Hard, consistent work was the key to this team’s improvement. To prepare them for the 2.8 mile race, coach Tom Turkington had the boys running as much as 12 miles a day, with frequent side trips to long, steep hills and rough terrain. The 1976 FHS Girls’ cross country team was another in the long line of outstanding cross country teams. Coach Carroll called the team of ’76 “the best cross country team I’ve coached.” Fifteen girls came out for the team. They were headed by seniors Johanna Forman and Sheila Barrows, veteran underclassmen Nancy Robinson, Nancy Buguey, Sue Wigley, and Joanne Frazier. The girls won the Falmouth Invitational, ran second in the Ridgewood (N.J.) Invitational, won the S.M.C. cross country meet and won the State Eastern Mass. Divi- sion I title for the second consecutive year. In the State Final Falmouth finished second to Mohawk Regional by one point. Hard work, good mileage and great enthusiasm made the 1976 Falmouth team the best ever. The team will be very good in 1977, but the loss of Johanna Forman and Sheila Barrows will leave open spaces that will be hard to fill.

Pep Squad encourages the players and rejoices with them in victory. Under their new adviser, Mrs. Elizabeth Hankinson, President Nancy Rebello and her junior of- ficers chose to support soccer as well as football. Other activities monitored by officers (Jean Murray, Vice- president; Joan Perry, Secretary-treasurer) included performances in Thanksgiving and Christmas parades and both rallies. Senior Caller June Payne and her soon- to-graduate sisters performed the familiar “Basin Street Blues” routine (Suzanne Boudrot, Leslie Cour- cier, Debbie Dunn, Kim Fernandes, Katie Fiester, Sheila Grady, Roberta Granfield, Joan Hebden, Kathy Leahy, Jean Murray, Joan Perry, Martha Powers, Nancy Rebello). Joan Hebden, Junior Caller, assisted at half-times and Marylee Tansey was the perky mascot.
