Goodbye, Mr. Kinney After thirty-one years of teaching in the Fal mouth School system, Mr. James C. Kinney is retiring. Mr. Kinney graduated from Plymouth High School in Pennsylvania and attended Dickenson College where he received his bachelor of science degree. Upon college graduation he en- tered the Navy and studied meteorology for one year at New York University. After moving to Falmouth Mr. Kin- ney received his master’s degree in education from Bridgewater State College. His teaching began in 1946 at the Falmouth Academy. He has followed the school through many changes, teaching at both Lawrence High and at Falmouth High. With the opening of the new school, he became chairman of the math-science department. His successes and contributions have not been limited to teaching; he was a dedicated foot- ball, basketball, and golf coach and an advisor to the Stu- dent Council and to the National Honor Society for many years. It is with a sense of loss for the school but joy for Mr. Kinney that we include his retirement in our farewell thoughts of FHS.

DEDICATION The class of 1977 voted to dedicate its yearbook to Mr. James O’Brien because of his concern for students and his love for working with them. Both are clearly seen in his reaction to being notified about the dedication: “I am totally surprised and honored that our kids would think of me that highly.” In the three years he has taught at Famouth High School he has shown himself to be a warm and interested person who genuinely cares about his stu- dents. Mr. O’Brien began teaching in 1969 and came to Falmouth in 1972, where he taught at the Intermediate School. He became assistant varsity hockey coach in 1972. His ability and dedication are evident in the winning teams which he has worked with in the past five years. A graduate of the University of Massachusetts, Mr. O’Brien plans to further his education next year by obtain- ing a Masters Degree in Education. In addition to teaching and coaching hockey, Mr. O’Brien enjoys golf, tennis, swimming, and working around his home. He likes Falmouth and the people he has met here and hopes to remain. We would like to thank Mr. O’Brien for the time and in- terest he has given to us as junior high school students and then at Falmouth High School.
