We lost only one lettcrman and gained a lot of new enthusiastic material. Although they are reen, Coach Atherton will mold them into a finished team. 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.

We hear it practically every day in some form, but who can get as much enjoyment from it as those who can actually perform. The pupils of Falmouth have worked together in their weekly rehearsals of the orches- tra under the direction of Mr. Stetson. Through these they have steadily improved, making us very proud of their public performances. The first of these was at a Forum meeting of parents and teachers. The Pop Concert started off with a medley of Christmas carols played by the orches tra who then struck up the music for the grand march. Later they made their radio appearance on the Sunday afternoon nSchools of the Airu broadcast. This prompted several remarks which pleased and encouraged the young musicians. May its good work continue. When stirring peppy music is needed we look to our band which has been active this year. Rallies and basket- ball gares would not be nearly so exciting or interesting were there no such organization. Yes, even the cheers this year were supported with peppy music, and the gym was ringing with voices and instruments on basketball nights. The cheerleaders dressed in white with large megaphones, and letters, prompted the enthusiasm in several special drills. X, Ng af f I :W ,K f,
