Mr. Sydney Roberts held the position of president of the Massachusetts Teachers Association on the county and state levels. He received his Bachelor of Science Degree in history and government and his Masters of Education Degree in social studies and education from Boston University. Mr. Roberts has always wanted to teach and this is exemplified also on off school hours. Along with teaching a chair-caning class in night school,- Syd Roberts has advised various clubs and has helped with numerous class dinners. I am convinced that the student body is no worse than it was in 1939. By no worse I mean that the standards are no lower. In some ways the kids today are better informed. Education as a whole hasn't changed, but it is different. My job as a teacher is to help you grow up and develop a perspec- tive, says Mr. Sydney Roberts, summing up his thirty-nine years of teaching in the Falmouth school system. Mr. Roberts is going to take advantage of his retirement time by fulfilling his lifelong desire to travel. ii flfimffzs Theodore H. Benttinen retires this year after twenty-nine seasons to enjoy life and continue with the real estate business. Long a fixture of the Mathematics Department, Mr. Benttinen came to live and work in -Falmouth after preparation at Hyannis and Bridgewater State Teachers Colleges and Boston University. In addition to Bachelor of Science and Master of Science in Education Degrees, Mr. Benttinen trained at the U.S. Coach Guard Academy and ser- ved as a Lieutenant on convoy duty in the North Atlantic dur- ing World War II. His primary reason for entering teaching was the incentive of a good job, as played against the background of the Great Depression. His students, whom Mr. Benttinen regards as cooperative and pleasant to be with from the first years through the last, will remember him for his businesslike, yet caring, style. After ten years of teaching, this year we bid farewell to M Robert Lusena. As a teacher of French and Spanish M Lusena has taught both at the Lawrence High and th Falmouth High School and he has served as an advisor to th French Club. ' Born and educated in Europe, Mr. Lusena attended scho in Egypt, Switzerland, and Italy. He earned a degree fro Middlebury College in French and a Masters Degree fro Boston University in romance languages. Mr. Lusena feels that the most rewarding experience as I teacher has been the return of outstanding college board scor by many of his students. l - I 'rre Mr. Lusena's retirement does not signal the end of h teaching career, he plans to continue his association with st dents as a part time substitute teacher. In his spare time M Lusena plans to become involved in church activities. F.H. and well as the Class of 1978 wish Mr. Lusena a long an healthy retirement. .1114 .2

4 zffimtiou Four years ago, a ray of sunshine en- tered into the doors of Falmouth High School. With this sunlight came a smile that is always there, a listening ear that is quick to share, and a warm heart that really cares. Sunshine, warm and bright, describes our Tom MacGregor. As a security aide and monitor Tom finds himself personally involved with many students. He is a loyal friend who will help in any way he can. He is a parent who will protect you and guide you. Tom MacGregor came to us as a school monitor but, our senior class leaves him as a friend. We dedicate this yearbook to a man who has not only dedicated his time and effort but most of all his heart. As we leave behind this school of Algebra and football games, that ray of sunshine will always be with us. y at ..sz.ss:z3W ,::,. ' .N ilu . Z5....W..r,tcEw ,... -... .
