F- I-IE Naturally, on the day the game was scheduled everyone was excited. We chartered two railroad cars and the team wlth.a large number of the towns people, who all through the year had a long, tiresome ride but we finally arrived about noon. Although we were all very hungry, the team had just a lunch before playing which made us all fthe more anxious to beat Lee as fast as we could. Finally the game started. The second quarter we were able to lead as we had in the first. At the half, Coach Atherton gave us a pep talk as only he can. The third quarter was much the same as the other two, but, in the last, Lee started a rally. As usual Donny Cole, Johnny Stimson, Buddy Hinks, Tommy Meehan, Dicky Plummer and Butler Pratt came to the rescue and the final score was Falmouth 56, Lee 27. I don't think that there were ever a happier crowd of boys or towns people. Falmouth, for the first time in the schools history, won three championships in basketball in one year, the Tripple C, Western Maine Class B, and the State Class B. The spirit of the boys, coach, and the people was the prime factor in our winning these coveted awards. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Victory! The most crucial game of the season was played with Cape at Cape on Friday, February 13. The game was a closely fought contest, with one team and then the other in the lead. About the last second an unidentified Fal- mouth forward dropped in a basket to make the final score 25-21. For the third consecutive year the girls won the Tripple C Championship by playing clean, aggressive ball. The team was composed of the following girls: N. Hawkes, H. Villacci, M. Bragg, M. Cooper, E. Prince, L. Kloth, I. Russell, S. Lane, R. Wallace, L. Villacci, L. Anderson, A. Hansen. Since only Nancy Hawkes and Rosie Villacci are lost through graduation, the prospects for next year are very bright. Congratulations, Coach Smith, you have done a swell job producing championship teams for Falmouth. GIRLS' SUIKMING Bang! They're off. The 1941 Swim ing Meet was held October 22, at a new place, the Portland Boy's Club. Lined up on the starting line for Falmouth were J. Smith, N. Hawkes, M. Bragg, D. Bjorn, B. Clement, I. Russell, A. Lane, J. Storer, M. Cooper, and P. Russell seeking revenge for their l point defeat by Cape last year. When the splashing stopped, Falmouth had a total score of 29, 12 more than their nearest rival, Windham. Those receiving medals were N. Hawkes, B. Clement, M. Bragg, D. Bjorn, J. Storer, I. Russell, and A. Lane. The relay team composed of B. Clement, M. Bragg, D. Bjorn and I. Russell did some fancy swimming to Lake first place 0 We wish coach Rogers and her future team many more championships.

A new plan is being put into effect which will permit more students to' see more of these games. We will start promptly at 5:00, whereby the students will be able to see the game in time to get their buses home. Everyone is eager for baseball to start and try out the plan. Boys that are out for it are Tommy Meehan, John Stimson, Donny Cole, Forest Leighton, Gordon Crawford, Lloyd George, Larry Geor5e,Robert Ames, Newall Tibbals, Arthur Hatch, Teddy Vail, Hugh HcCorkle , Arthur Fredricksen, John Doughty, andtDnna Farbicius. RIFLE The Blue and Gold ran into rather stiff competition this year at the Rifle Meet but managed to place third. Pratt was high man for Falmouth with a total score of 91. Next year looks a little briphter with three lettermen returning to form a nucleus for Mr. Drummond to build around. BOYS' SWIMMING This year's meet was put in the strong arms of Tommy Meehan, who was highest scorer for Falmouth, taking 2nd place in the 25 yard dash and 2nd in the 50 yard dash. L. Borge and L. George competed in the backstroke. CBorge demoralized a swimmer from an opposing team by a head-on collision.J John Stinson and Arthur Hatch did a good job in the diving and Johnny Stimson and Bob Ames in pushing the win- ners in the 50 yard breaststroke. The relay team composed of Tommy Meehan, Bob Ames, Arthur Hatch, and Manson Swett took second place to place Falmouth third in the meet. ,CN gf? p t, EIFTQWEE . ,I - -- i -5
