Many people are unaware of the importance of mechan- ical drawing. It is not generally realized that the prog- ress in engineering has been due in no small part to the draftsman. In these days of mass production where machine parts, for instance, are manufactured on a precision basis in various parts of the country to be assembled at a cen- tral point, the success of this job is dependent upon the drawings produced in the drafting room. Some of the weap- ons of war are manufactured in this way. A method of main taining the secrecy of the mechanism of these weapons is to have each piece of the instrument made independent of the other piece in various shops and shipped piece by piece to a point where the unit is assembled. Each work- man must be educated to utilize and understand the mechan- ical drawing. Mechanical drawing is known as the lan- guage of industry. This type of lang:uaf'e is used to give a clear and concise picture which is accurate to the nth degree. In our drafting class here at Falmouth, we are taught the elements and technique of drafting, how to make blue- printsrand how to read blueprints made by others. The last six weeks of school are utilized in blue- print reading. He are planning to use the same elementary course that is used in the shipyard. This practice will teach the boy to visualize the finished product from the drawings. Under the expert supervision of Mr. Drwanond this course has become one of the most interesting at Falmouth High School. Q1 K3 fig D Y.wD?aAajYM ,M Ni C I-I A IY' C fi R .pn ...- vw D R fi W 1 ,WE

5 GIRLS' swmmxe ' with a big splash our girls' swimming team swam to victory last October at the Portland Boys' Club! Those lined up for Falmouth High School were Dorothy Bjorn, Mar- garet Oldridge, Beth Clement, Ina Russell, Jane Storer, Janet Lund, and Constance Tormay, with alternates Rosalie Wallace, Marion Cooper, Phyllis Russell, and Phyllis Wheeler. Dorothy Bjorn came home with first place in the 50- yard freestyle and second in the 25-yard freestyle. Ina Russell took first place in the 25-yard breaststroke and fourth in the 25-yard freestyle. Beth Clement took fourth place in the 5O-yard freestyle, and Jane Storer placed second and Margaret Oldridge fourth in the diving event. The winning factor of the meet was the outstanding work done by members of the relay team composed of Bjorn, Oldridge, Russell, and Clement, when they brought victory to Falmouth by breaking the tie with Cape Elizabeth and also breaking the former girls' relay record by five seconds. Although the team will lose its captain, Dot Bjorn, and three other members who are seniors this year, we know that Falmouth will try to retain its title as Champions of the Triple C. Congratulations go to Miss Rogers and the team for do ing such a grand job. GIRLS' BASKETBALL Playing hard, our girls' basketball team started the season by winning the first four games. The games with Cape Elizabeth, our only league games, because of trans- portation difficulties, were the most importantg each team won one game. This year our forwards showed the real Falmouth cut- ting and passing while the guards played their dependable zone defense. Those on the team were Estelle Prince, Marion Cooper, Rosalie Wallace, Lillian Kloth, Marjorie Bragg, Lois Anderson, Ann Hanson, Janet Lund, Velma Pelle- tier, Jane Storer, Arlene Parker, and Marilyn HcKenny. Although we lose Estelle Prince, Marlon Cooper, Lillian Kloth, and Marjorie Bragg through graduation: nevertheless a fighting team is left for next year. Vany thanks go to Mrs. Pierson for coaching our team these last five years and we wish her the best of luck in whatever she undertakes in the future. .lBL.....
