Hennessy follows bed! downfield. Pratt uses head. 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

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.

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
