Falmouth High School - Clipper Compact Yearbook (Falmouth, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1979 volume:

Article VI in Chief Kerry Lynch Joanna McKee Published by the Senior Class of Falmouth High School Falmouth , Massachusetts Paul F. Olenick We chose Mr. Olenick, retiring superintendent, for our yearbook dedication because he is and was just that, dedicated. Twenty-five and a half years in the Falmouth school system and five and a half as superintendent give Paul F. Olenick the insight to say, “though it may not seem possible, each year, each class gets better.” He says that school spirit reached an apex as was manifested by the awards and honors Falmouth stu- dents won this year in both athletics and academics. “The opportunities are here and this class certainly has taken advan- tage of them,” he reflects. Mr. Olenick thanks the class for this dedication for it is “one of the greatest things” to have happened to him. 2 Contents Contents Inspiration ... 4 Spirit ... 12 Maroon Dap Thanksgiving Parade Varsity Cheerleaders Color Guard — Majorettes Band Pep Squad Thanksgiving Rally Thanksgiving Day Game Fall Sports ... 20 Fall Scoreboard Field Hockey Cross Country Track Soccer Football A Touch of Class A-H ... 28 H-P ... 60 P-Y ... 98 Clubs ...40 Honor Bowl Speech Team Chess Math Lookout Club SAE Future Nurses A.V.

Faculty Dr. Peter Clark Principal A faculty of many interests, ages, and specializations helps to provide a fertile learn- ing ground. Students train for employment in local business, industry, and social service, as well as for further education along academic or technological lines. Associations with people like Gail Cavanaugh and John Quick, both retiring after more than three decades of ser- vice, are part of the formula which gives graduates confidence that what they have learned, and whom they have known at FHS are valuable.

Get Psyched — Super Psyched! Does school spirit exist at FHS? How many times has that question been asked? But this year, more than ever before, the shy, ghostlike enthusiasm appeared in many forms: pep rallies, parades, and most importantly, in people. There was no doubt that spirit was alive and kicking at the Maroon Day Pep Rally on November 3rd. Students, teachers, athletes, and spirit groups donned the school colors. Anyone who didn’t know they were maroon and white certainly did by the end of the day. The rally resounded in the fieldhouse where the band played, the pep squad bubbled, the ma- jorettes twirled, the cheerleaders cheered, and the color guard strut- ted as each coach introduced his team. “Wrangler” Mogardo led the seniors and the freshmen, while “Mr. C” directed the juniors and sophomores in a cheering contest. Mogardo’s mob was determined the winner, but both leaders were gifted pies in the face. Principal Clark joined in the spirit with another flaky-pastry visage. The magic of these moments conjured up a school spirit which lingered throughout the year. 12 Thanksgiving Day Parade “High Hopes” was the theme of this year ' s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Football Coach Ray Charron headed the festivities as Parade Marshall. Spirit stormed through the rainy weather while the line of colorful floats and marchers wound its way down Main Street. Paula Carlson, a cheerleader and former class president, and Austin Stokes, a first class athlete, represen- ted the senior class as Mr. and Miss Clipper. First attendants Lauren Smith and Scott Peters, with second attendants Deanne LeClerc and Butch Barrows completed the honored retinue. Austin Stokes, Paula Carlson reign.

Tension mounts again. Ease on down the the road. Go Falmouth, Beat Barnstable! Captains Terri Murray and Laurie Rebello led the FHS Varsity Cheerleaders through eight losing football games with continuous spirit and never-ending optimism. Their efforts were rewarded, though, with the climactic victories over D-Y and Barnstable. The rest of the season was dedicated to Soccer, Bake Sales, Car Washes, Clipper Buttons, and simply having a good time.

MAJORETTES (kneeling) Vice President Lori Pilla, President Ann Kamataris, Secretary Michelle Robichaud, Treasurer Bernie Thompson, (stan- ding) Marybeth Thompson, Kay McCarthy, Crystal Martin, Cathy Messina, Kim Pacheco, Patty Sylvia. Ann dances to music. Sue parades. Working closely with the band, and under the direction of Mr. Marotta, the Majorettes twirled through the football season, rarely missing a baton. Much of their success lies in traditions, for between hard work at practices, games, and parades, the group enjoys “Rookie” Day, when all the new girls wear bibs during school, and the annual ban- quet at the Flume. Bernie shows concern. Carrying guns, flags and the high school banner, the Color Guard is an integral part of the half-time festivities. Led by Mesdames Dutra and Costa, the girls made the in- tricate look easy as they expertly performed maneuvers practiced throughout the summer, and per- fected by weekly drill. From the ban- ner back, the group set the pace for precision with flair. Girls take pre-half-time warm-up. Majorettes take field. 15 FHS Marching Band PERCUSSION (kneeling) Brian Guest, Paul Simpson, Chris Bohr (standing) Scott Peters, Paul Pendleton, Keith Green, Steve Lang, Jeff Lunn, Scott Bohr.

Anyone who has ever walked past the band room sixth block must have heard the strains and runs of “Copa Cabana” spilling under the door. Inside, seventy-some musi- cians danced under the direction of “Disco” Dennis Marotta, bellowing, “Get your knees up!” The FHS Marching Band survived the problems of inexperience and the lack of transportation funds, and provided the football games with im- pressive marching formations, ever changing tunes, and prime enter- tainment.

The 33 girl Pep Squad began practicing in July for a climactic per- formance on Thanksgiving Day. Every Saturday, weather-what-you- will, these dazzlers drilled con- tinuously in order to add color to ..alftime, and blend with the efforts of the other groups. Skilled as well off the field, the squad and Mrs. Kozens organized and executed the memorable Thanksgiving Parade and Rally. Shakers unite! 17 Phillips preps pep! Majorettes play up to crowd. Get ’em Mur! Thanks to the Pep Squad, the rally was a success. Mr. Eugene Phillips, the Master of Ceremonies, kept those who braved the weather hopeful that Falmouth, for the tenth consecutive year, would beat rival Barnstable. In the float competition, first place honors went to the Field Hockey team, second to the Pep Squad, and third, the Future Nurses. Amidst cheers from the excited crowd, the coaches and players were introduced, followed by a school rendition of “High Hopes.” Charron electrifies rally. Big Mac heats ’em up! 18 The day which every Clipper football player had waited for all season was cool and overcast, but tense with competition. More than a renewal of traditional rivalry, the 1978 Thanksgiving Day Game was a last effort for the players to save face, and salvage something from the losing season. Falmouth hadn’t succumbed to Barnstable in ten years, and nobody on this team had any intention of losing. The win was a direct result of hard work, emotion, and pride. The Red Raiders took a quick lead in the game by hitting paydirt on their first posession, but the Clippers bounced back when Julio Santos re- turned the ensuing kickoff 88 yards into the end zone. The first two touchdowns set the stage for the rest of the game; it was a high-strung, see-saw battle with neither team gaining the lead by more than a touchdown. With just over a minute of play, Barnstable held a 23-22 lead, and the football. The Red Raiders seemed to be in full control, but with 1:10 left of the season, Barnstable was forced to put the ball into the air to continue control of the game. Raider quarterback Matt Dacey dropped behind his impregnable line to look for a receiver, and spotted an open man along the right sideline. He heaved the ball in his teammate’s direction, but Falmouth’s senior John Blake intercepted the pass, and returned it to the 16 yard line, in one of the most dramatic plays imaginable. Eddie Mon- teiro then brought tne ball in from the 16 to clinch a 28-23 victory for Falmouth. Monty breaks from the pack. Don’t give up. 41 Looks like we made it. And the crowd stayed on . We gotta win this one! FIELD HOCKEY Fall Sports SOCCER F.H.S.

Under the direction of Coach Maureen O’Brien, and Co-Captains Laura Patch and Joanne McKenzie, the team won its third Southern Mass. Conference Title, and, for the fourth consecutive year, qualified for the state tour- nament. Falmouth’s strong defense allowed only five points, while the offense drove 25 into the opponents’ nets, for a season record of 9-0-5. Evasive halfbacks Sachs, Patch, and Nolan, behind a steady offensive line (McKenzie, Daigle, Jensen, Peter, Poirier, Bevelander, and Alferes), dominated downfield play. Strong diversions by fullbacks Gomes and O’Neil helped goalie Macedo repel the competition. At the an- nual banquet, the unsung-hero award was given to Monica Sachs. Linda Bevelander received special mention as a freshman on the varsity team.

On the other hand, we shared the league ti- tle for the third consecutive year, and qualified for the state tourna- ment. That drive made this team a true example of the old adage: “When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” Clippers block Raiders. 21 Boys ' Cross Country The 1978 season was an exciting one for the F.H.S. Boys Cross Country Team, with an 8-1 record. Senior Co-Captains Tom Souza and Tim Parker were more ap- propriately right hand and left hand men respectively for Coach Tom Turkington, as the real leadership was provided by sophomore Brian Mahoney, who left several course records shattered and became the first Falmouth runner in recent memory to earn an invitation to the All-State Cham- pionship Meet. He and junior Nick Meade were named to the S.M.C. All-Star Team for their outstanding performances throughout the season. The Clippers placed second to State Champion D-Y in the conference, and should improve on that position in 1979 with 23 of the 26 man squad returning. Terrifying Tim nears finish. Coach’s Comment Happy tidings, rumbles of progress in the year of the Great Leap Forward for this cross country team of ours. Down among the grass roots, we’ve found a bunch of running fools who are fast learning what this is all about. Top freshman Eric Mello led classmates Ted Farrell and Dan Webb, but they will get there. So many sophomores did so much. Rich Blake, the steady man, John Taylor close behind. Lynch and The Gang began to see the light, dug into it nicely, if belatedly. Sederman and Duce brought pal Ghelfi along . Scott the Shot kept a low profile for a while, then BANG!!!! Other sophomores cracked the varsity, no easy task: Robert Peters and Dave Carlson, them with potential to beat the band and guts besides. Dan the Man Oldale is right on schedule with one big year to go: and Nick the Quick Meade, an animal if the truth be told, had a lot of fun trying to cat ch .... The Kingpin, Brian Mahoney. I talked myself blue in the face about the essentials of distant running, Flyin’ Brian goes and does it, and suddenly everybody sees. Makes you wonder what a coach is for. In sum. a cheerful and successful season. D-Y handled us, but they had to work for it. And, well, they handle everybody. Otherwise, we were the honchos in this neck of the woods. And D-Ys days are numbered, friends. This team was easy to work with and fun to be with No hassles, no fuss. We got a glimpse of what we can do, and I do believe we’re going to go get it. It’s an awful lot of miles on the roads, and a long, not summer. It hurts, it’s time consuming and yes, it does get lonely. But we ' ve got the horses. With all due respect and gratitude to my worthy seniors a nd captains, Tim Parker and Tom Souza — our best days are coming. Flyin’ Brian places 7th. Tom smiles toward victory.

Coach’s Comment The 1978 Girls Cross Country Team was another in the long line of outstanding cross country teams that have come out of F.H.S. in the last decade. Seniors Nancy Buguey and Susan Wigley did an outstanding job in showing inspiration and determination towards winning another state cham- pionship. Heidi Walz, back from her outstanding first year in ’77, together with new runners Stephanie Stevens, Christine Frazier, Anne Jennings, Kim Thorpe and returning senior Kathy Bell made up a powerful team. Falmouth won the D-Y Classic early in the season, the Dis- trict II meet in mic-October and the Division II Eastern Massachusetts Championships. Nancy Buguey impressively won all three races, each time establishing a new course record. Heidi Walz was second at D-Y and District II and third in the Easterns. Strong showings by the other team members boosted Falmouth to impressive victories. In the State Finals at Franklin Park in Boston, Falmo uth ran into a super team, Peabody H.S., and finished second, only 17 points behind. Other teams were 40 points behind Falmouth. Although Peabody kept Falmouth from their 7th All-State title in 8 years, the F.H.S. girls were not disgraced. Nancy Buguey was 5th, Heidi Walz 16th and Sue Wigley 25th, proving that Falmouth girls are the best runners in Massachusetts. Nancy Buguey, Heidi Walz, and Sue Wigley were selected as District II All-stars, with Nancy Buguey being chosen as a Boston Globe All-Scholastic selection at the close of the season. Nancy, Heidi, and Sue competed in the National AAU. Junior Cross Country Meet in Memphis, Tennessee, placing in the top 80 in the race for 14-18 year olds, with Nancy coming in an outstanding 31st. The entire team put in a lot of work, both on the road and on the track. Dedication was the main reason for their out- standing finish in the major meets and hopefully the inspira- tion of the seniors will carry over into other seasons and other teams so that the winning tradition will live on. The Falmouth High School Girls Cross Country Team proved a spectacular fall season with the impressive title of State Divi- sion Champions. Upholding the reputation of first in Massachusetts and third in the nation was no easy task for the team of only a few veterans and many “youngsters.” The rigorous training, which began late in August, paid off as the girls easily captured the D.Y. Classic and four dual meets. Climaxing the season with a stunning win at the State Division I Cross Country Meet, Falmouth outran the nearest competition by 20 points. In the All-State Meet, Falmouth finished a strong second with Nancy Buguey placing fifth. Nancy sets the pace. 23 Soccer The F.H.S. Varsity Clippers’ Soc- cer Team under the direction of Head Coach Fred Toran and Assis- tant Coach Joseph McCauley rolled through its third successful season. Led by Tri-captains Glenn Nowak, Peter Pratt, and Pat Hennessy the team kept the reputation of being one of the strongest in the league by posting a season record which in- cluded nine wins. The Barnstable victory came after a hard-fought duel on the home turf. Only four losses barred the Clippers from the Division Championship. High scorers for the Clippers were seniors Jim Hamill, “H”, with 13 goals, Glenn Nowak with 6, and up-and-coming junior Ky Dewan with 5 goals. The defense was anchored by seniors Lawrence Hob- bie, Andy Meade, and Barry Em- mons. Juniors Mark Thompson and Skip Blake both excelled in the net. At the annual banquet Glenn Nowak was named Most Valuable Player for his outstanding play in his senior year. Other awards went to Lawrence Hobbie for the most dedicated and Andy Meade won the coaches’ award. Captains Nowak and Pratt confer.

Coach’s Comment Looking back over a season in which the players “but for a point or two might have been able to give a good accounting of themselves in the state finals” is a joy for Coach Toran. Even the last game, a hard-fought loss with DY (2-1) and a seasonal see saw contest with Barnstable found the booters up to all competition. Lawrence Hobbie, Most Dedicated Player, typifies the qualities of sportsmanship that only a cog in the leadership wheel can provide. He is the kind Toran and Kipling extol because they can keep their heads “while others all about them are losing theirs.” “He has it on or off the field,” Toran adds. Another trace of the high quality of game play and sportsmanship Toran de- mands of his players rests with Andy Meade, this year’s Coaches’ Award fullback. Not only was he one of the bet- ter defensemen in the league, but “he never played a bad game.” 25 Football VARSITY (1st row) Coach Ra y Charron, Austin Stokes, David Martin, Ed Monteiro, Kevin McEvoy, Ken Foster, Larry Doyle, John Rodenhizer, Jim Ferzoco, Julio Santos (2nd row) Coach Bruce Cranshaw, Brian Medeiros, Russell Ferreira, Jim Sullivan, Dave Mongeau, Chris Wesson, Rick Lummert, David Correllus, John Perry, Wade Sylvia, Steve Gaspa (3rd row) Coach Bob LaRaia, Greg Marken, Fred Bohnenberger, John Gill, Andrew Quinlan, Ray Knispel, Bob Whalen, David Denton, Mark Albert, Mike Stumpf, Mike Mitchell (4th row) Mike Buscanera, Wayne Allen, Butch Clements, Jim Sweeney, Greg Wesson, Bill Wormelle, Mick El-Massri, Mark Doucette, John Pinette, Shaun Chicoine. Ferraris rushes defense. Chicoine halts Raider rush. The Clippers suffered a frustrating season with an overall record of 2-8. In- juries, along with inexperience, hurt the team. The loss of Dave Martin and Roger Mrusek in the first game against Bourne crippled the qridders for the toughest part of the schedule. Although the team looked down with a record of 0-8, the ball players never quit. Head Coach Raymond Charron with his assistants, Bob Laraia and Bruce Cranshaw stressed persistence which paid off in Falmouth’s blanking D.Y. (15-0) and coming from behind to take Barnstable (28-23) in the exciting Thanksgiving contest. Although it was a losing season, the come back ability of the players was superb. Tri -captains Larry Doyle, Ken Foster, and Kevin McEvoy provided fine leadership. The team’s workhorse, Ed- die Monteiro, was voted Most Valuable Player for his strength in returning punts and kickoffs as well as rushing over 700 years for 40 points. Stay on their backs! 26 Way to go, Julio! Coach’s Comment First year Head Coach Charron looks back on a season of great leadership and enthusiasm. In his words “This was the most spirited and enthusiastic team I ever coached.” The last two victories prove Charron’s maxim “The mark of a true winner is one who never gives up and this team didn’t.” He commended the seniors for leadership and fine play. “Both Larry Doyle and Roger Mrusek had good defensive seasons.” As a result of the spirited seniors, the underclassmen are looking forward to next season and he hopes “the same spirit will be there.” Coach Charron stressed his enjoyment of “working with the various townspeople with whom I came in contact.” Waiting players study game action.

F.H.S. is known for its out- standing competitors, not only in athletics, but in academics. Students and their teams have won awards in public speaking, chess, mathematics and honor bowl. “Why me?” Coach Casso often laments when he contemplates the calculating crew he advises. Why not? They are winners. This year, led by the talented seniors and backed by dedicated underclassmen, the Math Team defeated all their league opponents. On the other end of the academic spectrum, the Speech Team promotes poetry, literature, and drama while polishing their public- speaking techniques. Under the ' leadership of Michael Helfen the team completed its first year of ex- istence with honors. Tony Brackett won 2nd place at the state trials and further distinguished himself by placing 3rd in the All-State competi- tion. Daria Lucas, Paul Selig, and Autumn Wieden also qualified for the state finals. “Ten-point toss up: what group at F.H.S. has amazed audiences with their knowledge of academic sub- jects and trivia?” The Honor Bowl Team! Undefeated in matches against D-Y, Barnstable, Harwich, and Bourne Falmouth’s Honor Bowl Team was beaten only by their dedicated mentors and educators. However, they took revenge at the close of the season by stomping all over the faculty team, led by Mr. McCauley. The Honor Bowl furthered their popularity by scheduling, with the aid of their ad- visor Adele Rohe, several matches for 7th block, delighting students and faculty scheduled for class at that time with an alternative for ending the day early. The Chess Team, non-pictured, competed ten times during the season and ten times finished win- ners. Third place at a multi-team tournament gave Advisor Elmer J. Ross and his squad a winning season and furthered the com- petitive reputation of F.H.S. ORATORS: Daria Lucas, Paul Selig, Autumn Wieden, and Tony Brackett.

Undertaking a wide range of pro- jects, their constituents are a representation of the good for which high school students are responsi- ble. The Lookout Club held its annual country fair in November when they raised money for scholarships and delighted little children with prizes for: bobbing apples, penny pitch, ring toss, and pie in the face. Advisor Joan Tansey helped organize this event which took place at the Gus Canty Recreation Center. Candy was given out by senior clowns Michelle Boudrot, Paula Carlson, and Ann Kamataris, brought sticky smiles to the faces of little kids. Mrs. Tansey directs apple-bobbing. 41 Seeing such smiles of delight is one of the rewards for hours spent teaching them. The SAE club, Stu- dent Action for Education, identifies easily with these radiant faces. Ad- vised by A1 Kolodziejski, the SAE club members are concerned with education and the direction of its future. The club members spend hours tutoring children at the various schools in town, preparing for their futures in the teaching field. SA.E.

FJVA A.V. year the Future Nurses volunteer at the hospital and engage in money raising activities so as to be able to award scholarships to deserving seniors of the club planning to enter any aspect of the medical profes- sion. December, the blood sluiced into the bottles in the F.H.S. gym when the Future Nurses, Key Club, and Lookout Club sponsored a blood- mobile. Students were encouraged to sign up to donate one pint each of their blood. Professionally han- dled, the bloodmobile was a true success. A training film was shown, with the help of the A.V. crew, to train the club members for proper procedure during a bloodmobile. The A.V. Crew, under the direc- tion of Barry Sadoff and Mrs. Fears, supplies classes and special projects with the audio-visual equipment they need. A true service to the school, the A.V. Crew has often bailed students and teachers out of boring situations. The bloodmobile was a success and the Future Nurses Club, advised by Barbara Kanellopoulos proved themselves as truly serviceable to their community. Throughout the 43 Although children are our hope for the future, the elderly cannot be forgotten. We owe them a great debt. In December, the Lookout and Key Clubs bring their services to the elderly in the form of Christmas carolling. Arriving in a large group, club members become singers as they proceed through nursing homes and housing for the elderly during Christmas week. Their voices reflect the enthusiasm they have for each other, their club, school and community. All this effort is manifested in the senior citizens smiles. Carolling is followed by a party hosted by a member of the Lookout Club. Aside from their talents as carollers, the Key Club, a national organization, exhibits their culinary talents at home football games. Un- der the able guidance of Joe McCauley, the boys serve delectable steamed hot dogs, pungent coffee, cold and refreshing soda and, of course — the inevitable potato chip. Club members can be found every Saturday in the concession stand or running agilely between the field and the rec. where the hot dogs are actually cooked.

Lighting Crew In March, as the ground began to thaw and the first signs of spring fever emerged, the Lookout Club sponsored the “Lookout for Spring” fashion show with the Fence Rail. An ambitious undertaking at best, they were aided by Eve Warner of the Fence Rail and many hard work- ing club members. As final prepara- tions were made, it was time to call in the lighting and sound crews to provide the finishing touches. The function of these crews, headed by auditorium director Michael Helfen, is to provide ac- tivities with the proper lighting and sound. They are responsible for visiting groups and functions in the gym such as the From and gradua- tion. The service clubs at F.H.S. truly signify the meaning of the word ser- vice. A help to school and com- munity these clubs also rely on each other to better serve those around them. AFS AFS STUDENTS Alejandra Sepulveda, Jette Christiansen, Nicola Worbes, Juha Niemisto. International flags are displayed. There are six clubs at F.H.S. dedicated to the study of culture. Their activities are witnessed in many ways throughout the school year and lent color and excitement to many events. September brought the arrival of four AFS students to Falmouth. It was the first time Falmouth had been fortunate enough to host four exchange students at once. They made a strong impression as a group; however, they emerged as in- dividuals as well. Ali, with her ever-constant chatter and bright smile; Chris, with her open friendliness and excellent English; Juha, with his seriousness and fine cello music; and Nikki, with her sincerity and quiet happiness. Each became involved in many activities and the true spirit of international brotherhood was reflected by these students and the six clubs at F.H.S. Rags from the countries of the four AFS students hung at the International Dinner held this year in November. The din- ner, sponsored by the AFS Club, under the advisorship of Dewitt C. Jones III, is just one of the many events hosted by the club to help the AFS students in their life at F.H.S. There is a welcoming party and a picnic, a Halloween party, and finally, a fare-well picnic to say “good-bye and wish the AFS students the best of luck. Rebecca enjoys herself. A.

Another way in which the AFS students are welcomed to Falmouth is through automatic membership in the Honor Society. Induction was held in January but previous to that event, at which Dr. Johnson chair- man of Math and Science spoke, these “honorable students” were busy with their social activities. A party at the Fenno Estate, an initia- tion dinner and the “Spring Fling” were events sponsored by the H.S. under the guidance of Adele Rohe. “Spring Fever Day”, however, made the greatest impression on their classmates. Many languages were represen- ted at Christmas Caroling on the Village Green — seven to be exact. The French Club, advised by Magaruite MacDougall, held weekly meetings in French and exhibited expertise singing French Christmas Carols. Their knowledge of the French language and culture was heightened by their trip to see Le Petit Prince in Boston. Dr. Johnson speaks at Honor Society Induction.

Throughout the year, these “Caesar clones” made numerous appearances as they and their advisor, Eugene Phillips purposed to “continue the traditions and customs of ancient Rome and to uphold the undying spirit of the Roman Em- pire and its people.” The Latin Club was also respon- sible for sponsoring “Spring Fever Day” when some removed toga to don other, more seasonal attire. The Spanish Club had a special privilege this year because Ali was around to lend some authenticity to the activities. The annual Spanish Club Fiesta and Spanish Cookout were the big events of the club this year as they continued their quest for knowledge of Spanish culture.

History Science All of a sudden, in the middle of winter, F.H.S.’s own Science Club, a first year “experiment” began to make itself known. A science fair, under the guidance of Mr. Moody, revealed six projects. After several competitions James Myette won honorable mention at the All-State Science Fair, a good begin- ning for a new club. F.H.S.’s scientists furthered the knowledge of many by exhibiting their projects in the lab and reflecting the various scientific concerns of the international community. The first signs of spring brought the third annual Gong Show to F.H.S. A talent extravaganza spon- sored by the History Club, the Gong Show is held to raise money for a trip to an historical area. Although undecided as to where they will go, the History Club, under the direction of advisor Linda Davis, has earned the money for their trip which will take place sometime this summer. The diplomats of Falmouth High School, although not members of the President’s cabinet, at- tended a model U.N. conference in N.Y. this year. The U.N. Club, advised by Sydney Roberts, was founded to send delegates to the model U.N. and to aid the members in their study of diplomatic rela- tions and international affairs. Thus, in a microcosm of the greater world, F.H.S. students shared cultures and ideas while exhibiting diverse political, social and academic backgrounds.

This was our fourth year in competition and our best. Senior Captains Kathy Mor- ton, Bernie Thomp- son, and Tina Peter led the team to a 64 winning season. Although Patricia Perry was injured and her scoring gravely mis- sed, the team took 4th place at the league meet. Falmouth had its first girl qualify for the All-Star Team (Mary Lou Morton) in vaulting. We are losing several valuable seniors this year but they are leaving behind them the will to win and with the strength we have left, and the new talents coming up, Falmouth will con- tinue to stay in the top half of the league. The rules became more difficult for high school level gymnastics this season; yet the F.H.S. Girls Gymnastics Team proved them- selves equal to the challenge. Even with the highest possible score being lowered from 10.0 to 9.2, the girls reached a team scoring record when they gathered 110 points against Taunton. Eight awards were presen- ted at the close of the season to outstanding girls in the following categories: Most Dedicated, Bernadette Thompson; Most Im- proved, Tina Peter; MVP Floor, Bernie Thompson; MVP Bars, Cheryl Pokraka; MVP Vaulting, Lori Palmer; MVP Beam, Bernie Thompson; Coach’s Award, Kathy Morton; Most Promising, Mary Lou Morton. Although the competitive season was over, the girls did not put away their bars and beams. Under the direction of their coaches, Mrs. Mangum and Ms. Podolski, the 1979 “Gymnastics Go Dancin’ ” show was created and rehearsed until it was in fine form. The performance in early May was a success and indicative of the prominence the U.S. is gain- ing in gymnastics. Tina sets form. | ' u s Kathy strikes graceful pose. Nicole, another Nadia?

Not just because we won a state championship, but because a group of young men proved to themselves, their families, and their fans that dreams can come true when one is willing to put forth a total effort. We were a team in the true sense of the word, “one for all and all for one.” Hockey Lines scramble for puck. VARSITY (sitting) Dave Newton, George Young.

( Boston Garden March 20, 1 979) JIM O’BRIEN ... Falmouth Jim O’BTien, Falmouth Division 2 This might well be a belated honor considering what O ' Brien fashioned in seven years at Falmouth. Whatever the theory on what breeds hockey talent in an area not known for rink facilities and pond-inspired play he al- ways seemed to know what to do with it. Since taking over the head coach position in 1972, O ' Brien ' s Clippers have amassed a 112-26-10 record in Southeastern Mass Conference and tournament competition This year’s team finally went all the way to the top with victories over Arlington Catholic in the EMass final and Leomin- ster in the state final It finished 22-2-3. In Falmouth ' s 4- 3 win against Arlington Catholic at the Boston Garden, the Clippers featured some of the finest calculated fore- checking and positional play seen all season — and that includes both divisions. For the first time ever, the F.H.S. hockey team brought the state title to Falmouth. Un- der the leadership of Coaches Jim O’Brien and Lee Burgess, the Clippers ended the season with an outstanding record of 22-2-3. The team that depended on hard work, rather than solely on talent, began the season faced with five challenges. The first goal was reached when Falmouth beat Taunton in league competition, thus qualify- ing for the State Tournament through winn- ing 70% of their games. A clean sweep of the bi-annual rivalry between Falmouth and Barnstable gave the Clippers the SMC I Title and their second goal. Shut-outs of both Southeast Regional (10-0) and Pope John (2-0) awarded Falmouth their third goal, playing at the Boston Garden. In the Gar- den, they met Lynnfield, and, behind 5-3, the Clippers rallied for seven goals in the final period to win 10-5 and advance to the semi-finals. The next victory, an easy win over Shawsheen, pitted Falmouth against Arlington Catholic the defending State Champs, for the EMass Division II Title. The Clippers overcame A.C. by combining heart and talent to capture the EMass Cham- pionship by a score of 3-2. The fourth goal had been realized. The fifth and final goal was accomplished when, completing a long and outstanding effort to win the Massachusettes Division II Championship, Falmouth blitzed Leomister, the Western Division II Champs, 7-1. Individual honors were also awarded to Falmouth. Dave Conners, Ed Monteiro, George Young and Shaun Chicoine were named to the Southeastern Massachusettes All-stars. Shaun Chicoine and Ed Monteiro were selected for the second team of the Division II All-stars. Coach O’Brien and Dave Connors were named Coach of the Year and Player of the Year respectively by The Boston Globe. DAVE CONNORS . . . Falmouth David Connors, Falmouth Division 2 At first glance, No. 3 for Falmouth looks too slow tc generate 31 goals in 27 games But by second glance. Con- nors is usually making defensemen look like statues with a quick burst of speed. At 5-8, 160, Connors is actually a Ken Norton on skates — extremely strong The senior is probably headed for the Ivies and right now has the shot and the speed to play Division 1 hockey anywhere He personally buried Leominster with a blistering 45-footer late in the second period And, it wasn ' t the first time a goalie never moved on a David Connors drive The center position was made for a player of Connor ' s intricate hockey ability He can bang, he can dance and he can score Who could ask for more’ Connors had 50 goals and 58 assists for 108 points the last two years Reprinted courtesy of The Boston Globe. Connors faces off. Basketball Coach’s Comment Hovering Helmut hunts hoop. Pina jumps for Falmouth advantage. Coach Robert Watson’s Clip- pers enjoyed another outstanding season despite being edged out of the league title by the Coyle- Cassidy Warriors. The Clippers surprised a lot of basketball enthusiasts by advanc- ing to the South Sectional final of the State Tournament. Falmouth’s overall record stood at 18-5 when they were beaten by talented Boston Latin at Brockton High School. A season highlight was capturing the prestigious Brockton Christmas Tournament by beating Oliver Ames and Providence Central. Bob Wilson and Todd Quarles were named to the SMC III Cape All-star team while Roger Mrusek was named to the All-Cape second team. Doug Comolli and Helmut Bryant received All-Cape Honorable Mention. Quarles was the only player from the Southeastern Massachusetts Conference to make the South Sectional All-star team. The final honor was the naming of Coach Watson as Coach of the Year for Falmouth’s outstanding perfor- mance during the State Tourna- ment. The 1978- 1979 basket- ball season leaves this coach with mixed emo- tions. On one hand he is happy with the out- standing accomplishments of his team. On the other hand he is saddened to see players he has coached for four years graduate. During the past four years the dedication of seniors Butch Barrows, Doug Comolli, Mark De Souza, David Martin, Roger Mrusek, Todd Q uarles, and Bob Wilson has been the single most important factor in the team’s great success. This team has succeeded beyond all ex- pectations. The great wins and honors gave this coach thrills of which most coaches only dream. But it is not the wins and losses that mean so much, it is and will be the personal relationship that developed between the coach and his players.

The boys are young but willing to run anyone, anywhere. We made some mistakes early in the season that cost us three big meets (losing by a total of 10 points.) But, we are looking forward to next winter with high hopes and tremendous enthusiasm. i 1 it i . )4 V: Knispel waits for gun.

The girls blended together as freshmen and sophomores came into their own and helped Falmouth develop another good team. Although we did not win the much coveted State Title, as last year, this year’s team proved them- selves to be just as good as past teams with their performances. The young members of the squad stamped themselves as a team to be watched in future years.

Boogie wins State Mile at Reading. Having won all their dual meets and tak- ing 4th place in the District I State Cham- pionship the F.H.S. Girls Track Team had another successful indoor season. Strong showings by rookie runners proved that older is not necessarily better. Fabulous performances were turned in all season by senior Nancy Buguey, who won the mile in 4:56:6 at the State Coaches Meet. Running took her to Dartmouth College, N.H., New York, Toronto and Mon- treal and earned her the state record for the 1500M, mile, 3000M, two mile and a national ranking of 1 in the mile and two mile for High School girls. The mainstay of the team proved to be; however, the under- classmen, who took two individual places in the state meet. Freshman Heidi Thomson placed 3rd in the 50 yard dash, and sophomore Anne Jennings took 3rd in the 50 yard hurdles. 59 Susan Hanley Skiing, Sunsets, Graduation “Was the Knowledge Gained, Worth the Price of the pain?

Washington Workshop, INTELLIGENCER “Live and let live” Glenn Nowak Juha Niemisto Cello Playing, Bicycling, Running, Math Mr. Marotta, director of the FHS marching and stage band, is ex- tremely pleased with this year’s per- formances despite his long-term ill- ness. Through personal interest and dedication, the musicians continued to practice and perfect their pieces, aided by Mr. Studley and, as much as possible, by Mr. Marotta. Selections were more difficult and challenging this year. Audiences responded well to the new, and equally enjoyed the older, more familiar tunes. Mr. Marotta finds his job at FHS exciting and satisfying because, “you never know what you are going to have to work with each year. . . . it’s a challenge.” By the success of the bands’ performances, it is obvious that much talent was indeed in- volved. Among these, Mr. Marotta recognizes Tony Brackett, Debbie Dunkle, and Steven Lajoie, who have made significant contributions to the quality of the bands.

Ten years ago Tony began studying the clarinet. Since then, his interest has involved him with the FHS band (4 years) and the orchestra (2 years). Because of his ex- cellence, he was chosen to attend Cape Cod Music Festivals, and South East District Festivals. As an upperclassman he was the principal clarinetist of the former. It was only natural when the FHS band department awarded him their annual scholarship last year to attend the Summer Youth Music School at the University of New Hampshire. In addition, Tony has played in the orchestra for numerous school musical productions, while, outside of school, he has performed with the town band, the Cape Cod Wind Ensemble, and the Chatham Chorale. His talent appears to be never-ending, for his entire repetoire of instruments includes, the alto saxophone, flute, piccolo, and recor- der. Presently, he is even teaching himself how to play the bassoon and the violin. This year, Tony graced the FHS stage in a slightly different manner. In the senior class show, “Guys and Dolls,” he portrayed the conniving, yet lovable gambler, Nathan Detroit, to perfection. Tony Brackett and Jane Woodwell With such versatility and interest in music, Tony will certainly be a success next year in college. As the one and only French Horn player at F.H.S., Jane Woodwell exemplifies all that a good musician should be. She is active in the school band and orchestra and has played in the orchestra for several school musicals. In the community she has been or is involved with The Cape Cod Symphony, Chamber Orchestra of the Falmouth Inter- faith Choir, The Falmouth Hand Bell Ringers, and Town Band. She also plays the piano. Jane has always liked the sound of the French Horn and this prompted her to take it up five years ago. That she finds her music ‘a real challenge and very rewarding” is proven by the impressive awards she has amassed: Cape Cod Music Festival (4 years), South Eastern Massachusetts Music Festival Orchestra (solo French Horn), All-State Music Festival Band, New England Music Festival Orchestra (2 years). To play with a professional symphony is one of Jane’s dreams and one very likely to come true. During the interim she and her French Horn, “Sir Lewis” will go to Carleton College to study elementary education and music for an eventual teaching career in both these fields.

Paul Selig is a prime example of an ac- complished actor. He has portrayed a variety of roles ranging from the hard- nosed Riff in “West Side Story,” to the insecure Clarence in “Secrets,” and finally to the romantic lead, Sky, in “Guys and Dolls.” Mr. Helfen is extremely pleased with the performances given by Autumn Wieden and Joanna McKee. Although their senior years have been clearly the most productive theatrically, he feels that, due to prior work on stage, they were emo- tionally ready and experienced for their roles. In “Secrets,” Autumn recreated the part of a domineering mother, while Joanna captured the role of a desperate housewife. Then, both actresses adapted smoothly to the comical character of Miss Adelaide in “Guys and Dolls.” Reflecting, Mr. Helfen sees this year as a testing period for Autumn and Joanna to realize their potentialities and enjoy success. Debbie Dunkle appeared as the prim mis- sionary, Sara Brown, in the senior class play. Although each year Debbie has participated in theatre, this is her first major role. Needless to say, she has lived up to Mr. Helfen’s expectations; for not only does she possess a superior voice, but also strong acting ability. Mr. Helfen views theatre as “creative and exciting.” This year is truly a turning point in FHS theatre. Mr. Helfen will remember this year’s seniors as a “unique group” which brought spirit and electricity to the FHS stage ... an inspiration to following classes. As I spent an evening talking with Paul, I felt like a child at the movies; over a cup of coffee, he created an entire drama— playing parts ranging from a kid growing up in New York to a self- assured individual with high ambitions. Casually dressed, cigarette in hand, Paul candidly talked about past performances, future plans, and, most of all, his impressions of the performing arts. Paul claims that ever since he was rive years old he wanted to become an actor. In Manhattan, instead of playgrounds, he spent the afternoons in matinees. The fantasy of the screen was captivating and self-expression, for Paul left the audience and pursued acting. Since his move to Falmouth in 1973, he has made quite an impres- sion in high school and local theatre. He possess a clear understading and sensitivity for acting. An actor must be open to all emotions, thus gaining access to the vital pieces of himself. His tools are his body and emotions. If he is able to balance the two, then he is able to produce a credible character. This technique demands constant study. Paul is always observing other’s mannerisms for future reference, and relies heavily upon part of his own personality when defining a role. Although Paul stresses that “every part is a challenge, he singles out his role of Clarence Hiller in this year’s festival play, Secrets.” Director Michael Helfen, who wrote the play, gave Paul the leeway to shape the character. Consequently Paul won two acting awards for his startling portrayal of an insecure, mother- dominated man. Paul explains that Clarence was a combination of Jonathan in Arthur Kopit’s “Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mamma’s Hung You in the Closet and I’m Feelin’ so Sad” and himself. This identification enabled him to become totally emersed in the part: “I was Clarence.” Other favorite roles include Frankie Basta, “the defeated poetic type” in the Acting Group of Cape Cod’s production of “Birdbatn,” and Sky Masterson in “Guys and Dolls.” The subject suddenly switched to the future. Carefully, Paul outlined his goals: “I want to learn all aspects of theatre. I want to be good. (Paul will study acting next year with New York Uni- versity’s Circle in the Square Repetory). It sounds so easy, but Paul realizes that it is more than determination which will ensure success; therefore he is unwilling to narrow his options. Unlike some actors he is quite willing to start in commercials, television, off-Broadway etc . . . Surprised, I asked him if he would seriously consider selling bologna while waiting for a break. Laughing, he replied, “Are you kidding? I’ll probably be too poor to be proud! I’ll take what I can get. (I’ll scrub back- stage toilets ... ”) “Anyway,” he added, “it’s not where I start, but where I’ll end up that ' s impor- tant.” Well, where does Paul want to end up? The answer is vague, for he wants to taste all aspects of the industry— from performing to directing. Directing is a totally different “high ’. One is faced with a blank canvas to fill with the right meians. Already Paul has tackled this facet of theatre by directing the high school production of “Fan- tastiks,” and teaching improvisation and scene study to children at summer camp. For the rest of the evening, we concentrated on his impressions of the theatre. When asked if acting was an “ego trip,” Paul quite honestly admitted that in many ways it was. The love, respect, and applause of an audience is extremely gratifying and appealing, “yet, the satisfaction derived from the audience is only a temporary up.” “It fulfills a void.” Moreover, acting is very scary. Because one must make himself vulnerable before an audience, he is also subject to their criticism and disapproval. Well, what about the fame and the money? Do you think you’ll “go Hollywood?” Once again Paul’s candicy startled me. He acknowledged the fact that he wants to be able to “live off his art,” with a few of the “creature comforts (like food),” but he added, “It’s more important to establish who you are within yourself.” During the evening, Paul talked continuously about his idols. Most of them are not current stars, for he identifies very strongly with the tragic figures of yesterday: Monroe, Clift, Garland, and Joplin. They are the vulnerable ones, — the insecure — traits that Paul attributes to himself. However, he explains that this was the secret of their success — the sources of their talent. The magic and electricity which they brought to the stage and screen originated from an inner purity. “I think there’s a gentleness when I act . . . hope- fully something others will want to see.” Although I admitted to the stars’ undeniable talent I questioned his fascination with their inevitable end. Garland’s life, as the others, was tormented “I was Clarence.” Actor, Paul Selig “West Side Story 99 and ended in tragedy. “The flame eventually went out.” Paul simply smiled and said, “I want to leave in a blaze.” This year instead of choosing a light musical comedy, Mr. Helfen opted for a more dramatic piece, “West Side Story.” This heart-gripping saga was indeed a challenge, for it required exceptional acting and singing skills. “West Side Story” is a recreation of the prejudices and conflicts between two street gangs of New York. At the dance at the gym, the Jets and Sharks are thrust together, and, consequently, trouble begins; for, in a few moments, Tony and Maria meet and fall in love. However, Bernado, leader of the Puerto Rican Sharks does not want his sister involved with an American. Words pass, and a rumble is decided upon between the two gangs. It is not until the deaths of Bernado and Riff, that the rivals appear to have some understanding about society. Tony, ex-leader of the Jets, was portrayed alternately by Scott Bohr and Bill Bums. Their leading ladies, Jennie Maxwell and Ashley Edwards, captured the innocence and the under- standing of Maria. Bernado and his girl, Anita, were played by Matt Henrickson and Diane Comolli. Their alternates were Matt Sheehan and Daria Lucas. Although most of the play is sad, forceful, and thought provoking, the musical numbers “America” and “Gee, Officer Krupke” offer some comic relief. Richie Rohe’s per- formance as Action was truly a highlight of the show. Fine talent was also found in supporting actors Paul Selig, as the American gang leader Riff, and Ruben Millor as Chino. The musical direction of Carol Sykes and the choreography of Pat Lang greatly complemented the acting. By blending the talents of those offstage and on, “West Side Story” proved to be more than a challenge; it was a professional and successful production. Miss Carol Sykes directs the orchestra during “West Side Story. ' “Where do you think you’re goin?” Student Director, Douglas Jones Choreographer, Pat Lang “Dance at the Gym” “I’m depraved on account of I’m deprived!” 77 “Every Puerto Rican’s a lousy chicken.” “I’ll see my love tonight.” Senior Mark Sullivan “Immigrants go to America . . . Senior Liz Kenney dances in “America.” “Something’s Coming” Janice Gill portrayed the tomboy Anybodys. “Riff, I was murder in that fight!” 78 “Te adoro, Anton.” The rumble forshadowed tragedy. “You’re not thinking I’m someone else?” “The war council or me . . . “We all killed him.” “Could we not dye it red at least?” “Dear kindly social worker . . . Diane and Joan relax backstage. “Mambo!” 79 “Secrets” H “Now say it: Nothing is original!” “Do you want to know what happiness really is?” “Secrets,” this year’s entry to the Massachusetts Drama Festival was written and directed by Michael Helfen. As the actors defined and developed their roles, what began as a light comedy assumed a serious tone. According to Mr. Helfen, “All of my characters are crippled by dreams of success that are essentially materialis- tic.” The plot evolves around six individuals trying to achieve success by patenting a “secret discovery. However, through revelations initiated by the mother and the receptionist, they acquire something more valuable — an awareness of themselves, and an insight toward life. Rehearsals were approached seriously and with the idea of perfection. Lines were altered to “humanize” the characters, and the plot was constantly revised for fluidity and credibility. Several performances were given to receive audi- ence criticism. In addition to countless rehearsals, though, the cast had a fantastic time, and established a close relationship. On March third, “Secrets competed against six other plays at Nausett Regional High School. Although the atmosphere was tense, the chemistry among the actors “clicked,” thus the best per- formance was the winning one. Paul Selig, Daria Lucas, and Joanna McKee were chosen for the All-Star Cast. For the semi-final competition, more rehearsals were scheduled to maintain the pace and standard of the show. Once again Paul and Joanna won acting awards, and Jenny Maxwell also joined the All-Star Cast. Despite a fine performance, Falmouth did not win, but the thrill of competi- tion was no “secret.” “Sign it!” “I have something unique and original.” 80 “Luck is everything.” “Children share, and they’re happy.” ‘That gun holds no power over me.” Revelations begin. “I wanted so much more.” 81 A.M. 11 CREW row 1: Konrad Scheltema.

The Journalism department is full of activity, for each week an assortment of journalists combines ideas and talent in order to inform the students, faculty, and town about FHS. ‘‘A.M. Eleven,” Falmouth ' High’s daily, “live” an- nouncement program, is produced entirely by the students members of the T.V. production crew. The informal broadcast of notices, announce- ments, and up-coming events appears each morn- ing at 7:45 to all of the homerooms throughout the school TV. access channel. Each day a dif- ferent crew (consisting of an audio engineer, a video engineer, two camera operators, and two anchorpersons) is headed by a director who is in charge of the show’s production. This year there were seven directors: Diane Bishop, Boyd Demello, Grant Hills, Bryan Holmes, Leslie Jonas, Arvo Mikkanen, and Steve Tessier. The WFHS crew is also responsible for the playback of pre-recorded educational shows for classes. In addition, the taping of school produc- tions, (such as sports events and dramatics), com- mercials, promos, and teacher-hosted educational programs are all made possible by this volunteer crew. Many times technical assistance is given to help the weekly news show “Perspective.” This year we saw the change in the morning program ' s name from “Catch 13” to “A.M. Eleven,” and the featured album of the week which was initiated to give the student body a more varied format. Thanks to the coordinator, Mr. James Harrington, General Manager, Arvo Mikkanen, Assistant General Manager, Leslie Jonas, Production Manager, Diane Bishop, and Traffic Manager, Craig Hudson, the station ran smoothly, providing for a memorable year. 82 Is it that complicated Arvo? Student Intelligencer Staff — Maura Farrell, Kelly Franklin, Laura Patch, Mr. James Winer, Leslie Daigle, Joanne McKenzie, standing: Ann McEachem, Nina Murphy, John Peny. Mr. James Winer An interview with James Winer Mr. James Winer has certainly been i nvolved with the journalism department at FHS. His previous experience as a reporter for a daily newspaper, and his work in television journalism for five years, has contributed greatly to the “Stu- dent Intelligencer” and “Perspective.” Four years ago Mr. Winer became the mentor of the student newspaper which is published in the “Falmouth Enterprise.” A weekly publication such as this is rare in high schools. Many schools ' newspapers are published irregularly. Later, at the suggestion of Mr. Clark, Mr. Winer drafted students to study t.v. journalism. He believes that his students have gained the knowledge and skills of writing well. He added, “writing has an edge over reporting; yet good reporting is essentia] to good copy. Three seniors have worked on the “Intelligen- cer” this year, Joanne McKenzie, Laura Patch, and John (the “Open Space”) Perry. Todd Hampson and Arvo Mikkanen completed their third year of “Perspective.” “How To Succeed In College Without Really Trying” by John Perry So you’re an upperclassman and you’re worried about college. You’re insecure and you wonder if you’ll be able to handle all of the study- ing and pass the courses, but more importantly, you wonder if you’ll fit in socially with your new peer qrouD. Don’t feel bad. It’s a very common Later on in the week, (although preparation begins much earlier), the edition of the “Student Intelligencier” is published in the “Falmouth En- terprise.” The reporters and writers are enrolled in Mr. James Winer’s journalism classes. Along with regular FHS news stories, special features include: the inquiring reporter, senior John Perry’s humourous column, “The Open Space,” assorted editorials, and illustrations. The year was highlighted by a trip to the “Boston Globe.” anxiety. Nobody wants to be a social outcast in college. Call it peer pressure of any other of those technical, psychologically-based titles, but the fact still remains it’s no fun to be on the outside look- ing in, which is why I’ve done an extensive study on social life in America’s great learning institu- tions and compiled a guide to help high school students adapt to college social life. First of all, you can’t worry about what other people think. For instance, those kids standing behind you, laughing and making fun of you because you ' re reading this very important advice column, should be ignored. Chances are they’ve got the same problem as you but they’re afraid to admit it. Now that you’ve lost all you inhibitions, we can get down to serious business. Unfortunately, much popularity in college is based on superficial possessions. For example, good-looking people, especially girls, are always popular in college, and so are people who drive around in fancy sports cars, but don’t feel bad if you don’t fit into one of these categories. There’s still a little bit of hope; af- ter all, we weren’t all born rich or good-looking. There’s plenty of time to develop other traits which will gain popularity in college. Take per- sonality, for example. There’s plenty of time to make yourself more interesting between now and next September. Remember, when you go off to school, nobody will know anything of your background, so build yourself up. Why let them know that you’re a dull, boring kid from Falmouth when you can tell them that your last name is Car- ter and that you’re Jimmy’s kid? Or, better yet, tell them that you’re Billy’s son. Tell them anything. You’d be surprised at just how gullible college stu- dents are. Of course not all of us can develop charm- ing personalities. There are other alternatives. You can develop talents that will make you a hit at all the college parties. You all saw “Animal House,” didn’t you? Who was your favorite character? Bluto, of course. Bluto possesses none of the above-mentioned characteristics. He had no per- sonality — his biggest lines through the whole movie were burps; and he certainly wasn’t good- looking — he was a fat, unshaven slob. Yet he was still popular, and do you know why? Because he could drink more beer than anyone on campus, do full 360-degree spins on the dean’s lawn, and crush beer cans laterally against his forehead. Now, if you can develop talents like Bluto’s, you can stop worrying about all those superficial trademarks such as looks and fancy cars. You’ll undoubtedly be voted most popular on campus . . . You might even get a scholarship. Monday through Thursday, the T.V. Jour- nali sm class prepares for their weekly news show “Perspective.” Mr. Winer supervises this group also. Classes are spent choosing assignments, gathering information, and filming school events. Thursday, the two anchorpersons and the director have an af- ter school session at which the talent (those who will read the stories) organizes the copy and format for the show, while the director edits the video inserts to be used. Friday, the show is presented live at 10:00, followed by taped broadcasts at 11:20 and 1:00. Along with the news, there are movie reviews, editorials, and “the roving reporter.” The fifth year of “Perspective” culminated in a special program, recapping 1978-79 at FHS. The infamous “bloopers” were also revitalized. Ironically, for the first time in its history, “Perspective” was composed en- tirely of seniors. This is a typical week for the journalism department. You can see reporters everywhere, clutching pen and paper (some with cameras), struggling to meet deadlines and to present the FHS news. Perspective crew — Mr. James Winer, Arvo Mikkanen, Denise Kearney, Todd Hampson, Tim Parker, Leslie Jonas Autumn, who plans to take over Barbara Walter’s job with ABC, has made quite an impression at FHS in the journalism department. Her talents are extremely diversified, including camera, audio-visual, and directing work. However, she is mostly noted for her appearances on camera. For three years she has contributed to Perspec- tive by interviewing celebrities such as Maggie Kuhn, leader of the Gray Panthers, Governor Dukakis, former superintendent Paul F. Olenick, and various members of the school committee. Autumn feels that it is important to keep the students informed on issues which will affect them. Autumn’s approach isn’t strictly limited to interviewing, though. Her theatrical and satirical reviews are a familiar part of FHS. Other credits include: an editorial on com- mercialization during the Easter holidays (complete with rabbit ears), a humourous comment on the lack of participation dur- ing the morning pledge of allegiance (LA.K.AC.), and, of course, her famous prom up-date during the spring hunting season. Truly no other journalist, including Rona Barrett herself, has developed such a unique and amusing style. Besides Perspective, Autumn has served as a contributing editor of the 1979 year- book, an editor of the language newsletter, and a leader of public relations (publica relationes) for the Latin Club. It is quite ob- vious from her involvement that her in- terest is genuine, and her ambitions high. The future includes college, and eventually a career in the field of journalism. Autumn quite frankly admits, “Someday I hope to win a Pulitzer Prize, but if not, the Nobel Prize for Literature will do.” With this in mind, don’t be surprised if you see her on the six o’clock news one evening, or read about her activities as a Washington correspondent!

However, in order for a few seniors to get together, organize, and produce anything, it is necessary for them to rely upon some form of direction and experience ... an advisor. Eighteen years ago Mr. R. Curtis McKee assumed the responsibility of this position. His familiarity of the f rocess, and leadership have been invaluable. his year, though, Mr. McKee has decided to resign as advisor, “I ' ve enjoyed doing all eighteen boons, but I feel that it is time for the person who can do the next eighteen books to come along. Reflecting on past endeavors, he is pleased not only with the variety of the staffs, but also with the yearbooks themselves. Many were of the “chatty nature, others pictorial, while still others were literary efforts. One of the satisfying aspects of his job was supervising talented individuals turning 160 blank pages into something meaningful to themselves and their classmates. This year 5 staff was no exception to Mr. McKee. He defines them simply as “one of the most quality-oriented staffs . . . more interested in getting things done as precisely as possible while maintaining a creative approach . . . needing much less direction — independent.” The staffs opinions of Mr. McKee (admiringly nickmaned “Sir”) are of the same standard. Touches of his subtle humor relieved mounting tension, while constructive criticism and discipline aided in the progression of this year’s book.

Mrs. Marie Doyle, Advisor to Stu- dent Government at Falmouth High School, says “Young people today, given something that interests and excites them, respond in the same way and with the same enthusiasm they always have.” Mrs. Doyle, like her local counter- part Selectman McMurtrie, assumes active responsibility. She advises: The Warrant Committee, Student Town Meeting, all Student Elec- tions, preparation of the Warrant, Student Advisory Board to the School Committee, Student Advisor to the State Board of Education and Student Government Day. The political background of Mrs. Doyle started at Dedham High School where she was President of Student Government. She was President of the French Club at Em- manuel College. For ten years Mrs. Doyle held the appointed position of Finance Committee Chairman in Avon. Mrs. Doyle is involved with government at F.H.S. because she thinks that “high school age people should become prepared to take part in the political process.” She has noticed that in the fourth year of student town meeting “students are becoming skilled in Parliamentary procedure and more sophisticated in choice of articles.” WARRANT COMMITTEE (kneeling) Paula Simpson, Kathy Kearney, Leslie Daigle, Lisa Brunette, (standing) John Kendall, Denise Kear- ney, Alice Wilkinson, Joanne McKenzie, Kevin McEvoy, Nina Murphy, Andrew Meade, Bret Bowin, Tim Parker, Autumn Wieden, Tony Brackett, (missing) Joanna McKee, Lisa Peterson, Jane Woodwell.

The student Advisory Board to the School Committee is the com- municating body between the high school students and the School Committee. Its five members meet with the school Committee every Thursday night. These students help the School Committee define the role of the high school and deter- mine with changes should be made. The town meeting warrant and resulting votes are reviewed with the School Committee after each town meeting. Doug Jones meets monthly with other concerned students and ad- ministrators as he fulfills his office as Student Advisor to the Regional Board of Education. These meetings allow for the interaction of ideas in order to provide the best education possible for students in Southeastern Massachusetts high schools. Gathering articles for town meeting is just one way this year’s Warrant Committee established it- self as the primary form of govern- ment at F.H.S. Through three town meetings, fraught with controversial discussions, Lisa Brunnette proved herself an outstanding moderator. Mrs. Doyle was encouraging in mo- ments of doubt and helped to make this committee, more than any other, a leading voice in student af- fairs. Articles ran the gamut from a concern for a course in human sex- uality to a desire to conserve energy by keeping the cafeteria doors closed during cold weather. And some students were irate that English credit is given for Jour- nalism. As Chairman of the Election Committee, Denise Kearney organized the many student elec- tions while Tim Parker, Chairman of the Warrant Committee, filled out the slightly illogical attendance paperwork to keep the members out of disciplinary difficulty. In an ex- perimental Town Meeting, students were encouraged to clear the air with their views of the school at pre- sent and the direction it should take in the future. Unafraid of political entanglements, the 78-79 Warrant Committee set a leadership prece- dent which will hopefully perpetuate itself in future Warrant Committees. ‘Miss Moderator, I move that . . .

Lisa Brunette, Town Meeting Moderator. Dr. Clark controls heated debate. An integral part of the governing structures at Falmouth High School is senior, Doug Jones, who has par- ticipated in every form of student government as well as Falmouth elections.

Coach’s Comment This year was marked by a series of ups and downs. Thanks to a group of young men who believed Falmouth was the best baseball team in S.M.C. Division II East we realized our “goal” on the last day of the regular season in Dartmouth. To single out individual players would be an injustice to our frame of mind throughout the season. We, as a team, built our attitude from day to day always reminding ourselves that it takes a total team effort to be champions. A special thanks should go to our six seniors, for hanging in there all the way. If our coaching staff had three words to describe our year, they would be: PRIDE — HUMILITY - HEART.

Coach’s Comment The boys’ track team had, to put it dramatically, a fantastic year. We had all set our sights in March on having a suc- cessful season, however, no one felt it would end this way. Losing only one meet all year to powerful New Bedford was a fine achievement and in no small way does that reflect on the seniors who were a fine group of student-athletes. Co-captain Kevin McEvoy. always a leader, showed the way in his two specialties the Shot-Put and Discus. Dave Connors, Co-captain, was con- sistently a winner in the Pole Vault. Tim Parker showed spurts of greatness in the 880 and was our able anchor man on the mile relay team. Robert Wilson showed determination in the high jump as well as in the 120 high hurdles and the triple jump. Tom Souza helped greatly in the 880 and mile. Senior new- comers to the squad were Larry Doyle running the 440 with power and Wade Sylvia long jumping. Many underclassmen made this team click and battle its way to second place in the tough Southeastern Conference Division I. The ones that come to mind are the two MVP award winners, sophomore Greg Gonsalves and sophomore Dave Costa, each in scoring in every meet and combining for over 230 points. Greg Gonsalves tied the school’s high jump record with a 6 ' 4 ef- fort in the state meet. The two in- dividuals who showed the most im- provement over the season were juniors Mark Costa and Pat Connolly. Mark Costa set a new school record in the 330 hurdles with a 40.9 effort. The out- standing runner of the season was another sophomore Brian Mahoney the premier two miler in the League and the League Champ. Outdoor track and field requires a large number of participants and this year we had that winning ingredient. It was a successful combination of seasoned veterans although a small number; and flashy, brashy freshmen and sophomores, and juniors who all came together to perform with ex- cellence and spirit. Fans who have seen this band of thin clads perform leave the track area with only one comment “Boys” track is definitely back! 96 Girls Spring Track Heidi anchors two-mile victory.

(missing) Nancy Buguey, Roberta Royster, Nicola Worbes, Stephanie Stevens. Patty Condon, Liz Pierce, Debie Sachs, Ashley Edwards, Becky Selleck, and Alison Tolland. Nancy leads at Penn. Relays. Kerry leads off two mile relay. Spring 1979 brought a lot of rookies onto the F.H.S. girls track team. Off to a slow start, the girls only scored six points at the Spring Relays but in mid-season they gained momen- tum and won the State Relays. Another highlight was a strong win over New Bedford, a previously undefeated team, which clinched the league title for the third successive season. In the All-State Meet Nancy Buguey won the mile and the 440 relay team ran their best time of the season to take sixth place. Other Falmouth runners looked well at the State Meet and are hoping for even stronger showings next spring. Mary-lou calmly clears hurdle. 97 Lori Romiza 1979 Stephanie J.

Graduation Former Mayor of Boston John Collins — guest speaker Principal Peter Clark One of the exciting things to do at this point of commencement is to look back for the character of the Class of 1979. Excellence has been the hallmark of that character, in- dividually and collectively. Take an area, any area, and up come the stars of ’79. In athletics, there were the biggies like Eddie and Dave and Nancy and . . . but think of all those supporting players who helped Falmouth into quarter finals and regionals as well as dominance of Massachusetts hockey. Look at jour- nalism and find John and Autumn, but don’t overlook Tony and Arvo. Or try politics: Doug’s efforts were mirrored in much of what Joanne did for the class, to say nothing of participation in warrant committees and solid leaders in earlier years. Music? Tony and Jane are here, can Debbie, Scottie, and Mike be far behind. And then there were all those others in the side chairs or on the risers. Theater abounded un- bounded with Paul, Daria, Joanna, and Scott, but who can forget the ef- forts of Julio and Billy, just to name two, in “Guys and Dolls.” Class shows as well as other revues brought out classy talents like Lori; antics like Liz and the Ben Gay Sisters, and Janice’s incomparable pantomime of the hands. Led by Presidential Scholar Lawrence was a multitude of scholastics including National Merit Scholars who gleaned the largest number and dollar amount of awards ever gar- nered by a Falmouth High School graduating class. And the list goes on: Joe’s debating, Joan’s layout, Dion’s disco, Wendy’s courage, Becca’s steadiness, Lisa’s spirit, Ann’s enthusiasm . . . Yes, 1979 might just be the dandiest class ever to graduate; now time will tell if the flower will bloom in other lands and climes.
