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.....

BOYS' BASKETBALL Starting the season with a green team, Falmouth de- feated the Alumni team in a 52-18 triumph. We were for- tunate in obtaining two former stars, Jimmy Youmans from Brewer, and Frank Feeney from Cheverus. This triumph was a good start for a new team because of the fact that the last year's team was the State Class B Champions. Trans- portation problems this year greatly decreased the number of games and the attendence at the games, but because of the determination of the coaches and the fans alike, this season was a success. The next game which was at Falmouth with Scarboro was Falmouth's first loss on the home floor in two years. Another defeat was sustained at Cape when Conley of Cape sparked the team, scoring l7 points, with Feeney and Stimson playing guard, Tibbals center, and Hatch and Leighton forwards. The final score was a close 35-52. Falmouth showed a great amount of improvement in a fast game with Gorham. When the smoke cleared away and the hats were swept off the floor, the score remained Fal- mouth lB, Gorham 15. The next game was at Scarboro--more hat sweeping-- Frank Feeney and Jim y Youmans were the top scorers. Fal- mouth flashed a highly polished attack over our former conquerors, to win 27-22 in a bitter duel. At Greely the following week, Falmouth,with all mem- bers of the squad participating, defeated Greely to a rousing 58-19 with Frank Feeney on the loose for Falmouth. 1 when we played the return game at Gorham, Dean high- lighted for Gorham with 12 points. The outstanding fea- tures ff the game was the long shot wizardry of Mark 'Stimson, and the outstanding passing of the Gorham team. The fin l score was Gorham 28, Falmouth 24. bug of the most exciting games of the season was the game with the Cape at Falmouth. Falmouth was rated the underdog, being without the services of its outstanding center, Frank Feeney,because of the unfortunate death of his mother. At the end of the regular time the score was 27-27. In the overtime Conley made a foul shot for Cape making the score 23-27. Then Jimmy Youmans sank a basket in the final minutes to bring the score to a final victory 29-28 in favor of Falmouth. Youman's floor play kept us offensively in the ball game, also a new star, Freddy An- drews, stepped into the breach left by Frank Feeney and held the carefully coached Cape guards to two floor coals. The motto of the boys in the game was HWe've get to win for Frank --and they did. To celebrate George Washington's birthday we went to Bates College to play one of their intermural teams, West Parker Ilomitory. with Feeney and Youmans highlighting, again we came out victors in a 54 to 51 score. After the game we stayed to watch the Bates and Colby game in which Colby was the State Championship. The last game of the season was played with Gorham in the Expo, to determine who would play in the class tourn- ament . But Gorham again was our conqueror in a 27 to 17 score. Next year as the team will be lacking only four var- sity men, Newall Tibbals, Jimmy Youmans, Frank Feeney and Red Leighton, we expect it will be anxious to recap- ture the Triple C'f Championship and we hope that the transportation problem will be normal again so that more of us can enjoy the games.
