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.

The class of 1977, as the first to spend four years in the new building, was instrumental in the development and success of the new school. Within our four years, we saw many changes both good and bad but we were able to survive and excel, thus paving the way for future classes. Ad- justments and changes were made for the benefit of all students because of our mistakes. These changes and many activities were planned by our principal, Dr. Peter L. Clark and Activities Coordinator Mr. James Kalperis. Through the cooperation of all students FHS was able to thrive. As freshmen we were young and scared. This mammoth structure brought new beginnings and experiences. This first year was experimental with a variety of courses such as English Electives and a relatively un- known modular scheduling system. Although the school seemed somewhat chaotic at times, we were able to function efficiently with a large number of our class excelling in the variety of activities open to stu- dents. The sophomore year brought more organization, thus we were able to settle down early for a productive year. In both our freshman and sophomore years annual shows were produced. They were quite successful and as a result we were able to pull together as a working and energetic class. By our junior year there was no stopping our productivity and leadership. Many earned academic honors, while others excelled in music, sports, drama, and art. Our work weekends were very lucrative, enabling us to sponsor “Nights in White Satin,” the annual Junior-Senior Prom. This climaxed a very memorable year. Senior year brought more praise and success. We were the leaders, un- derclassmen looked to us for guidance. The Christmas tree sales set records as the lot was sold out many days before Christmas. Many seniors worked faithfully despite frigid weather. We broke even with “Li’l Abner,” the annual senior class musical. The show was well performed and provided great enjoyment for both audience and actors alike. Our final days together included a myriad of activities in preparation for gradua- tion. The banquet held at Sea Crest was an enjoyable evening as many danced well into the night. The revival of an old tradition — Class Day — aroused excitement. A total of $171,255 was given to deserving seniors at Awards Night with $22,250 awarded by local organizations. Graduation brought tears as well as smiles as the class of 1977 bid farewell to FHS. We can look back upon the four years with pride. Our success is the success of FHS. All who hold the memories will never forget them. “We Did It All For Love” Eugene Phillips Freshman class advisor Latin Joan Tansey Junior and Senior class advisor English Nancy Ryan Sophomore class co-advisor Vasco Pires Sophomore class co-advisor Art Senior Class Officers: President Betsy Gregory, Advisor Joan Tansey, Secretary -Treasurer Wende Chapman, Vice-President Jeff Alexander. 6
