It has worked out a new method of passing between classes, and has made the num- ber of come-in-laters small. Ir was this organization that made the presidential election, which we had in school, such a success. It was the Student Council that introduced the idea of an assembly each month. Like all their other projects this turned out to be very successful. To the members of the Stu- dent Council, we the student body of Falmouth High School, wish to extend the highest of appreciation and thanks for your hard work.

Q ca A , JUNIOR CLASS We, the Juniors of Falmouth High School, in order to form a more perfect insti- tution, establish better basketball, insure gayer Pop Concerts, provide for the common defense fFire Deptj, promote the Seniors and secure the blessings of the faculty for ourselves and our classmates, do ordain and establish this article of the Junior Class of ,45. The Junior Class has excelled this year in the school activities. We were represented in boys' basketball by B. Meehan, D. Mileski, R. Winslow, W. Phillips, and W. Leighton. And the girls, not to be outdone, contributed M. McKenney, I. Hansen, M. Reynolds, and C. Casparius. The play and the minstrel show were both sprinkled excessively with juniors, and we are sure that without the support of Grover, the Cole twins, and C. Tormay the cheerleaders would have been lost. Athletics isn't the only feather in our cap, for we have a scholastic standing of which we are very proud. Some of the Juniors, who have been on the honor roll practically every term through their three years at F.H.S. are: M. Dyer, C. Eames, P. Wheeler, P. Dyhrberg, and W. Chesley. So in closing, we shall say that the Seniors of '46 have one wish, it is the hope that they can live up to the Seniors of '45, SOPHOMORE CLASS Remember the troublesome Freshmen of last year? Yes, we were troublesome and we admit it, but this year we have turned over a new leaf. Believe it or not, the Class of '47 is growing up. What class has more scholastic and extra-curricula ability than the sophomores? The answer is-none. For instance, let us take the girls' basketball team. The sophomore girls on it are: Joan Peterson, Connie Lane, Mary Lou Blake, Joanne Merrill, and Joyce Priest. Then what would the orchestra do without Ruth Aaskov, Joanne Merrill, Connie Lane, Polly Bragg, Joan Peterson, and Charles Eames? Others from our class are present in the ranks of the band, glee club, boys, and girls' swimming teams, play, minstrel show, The Skipperv staff, Pop Concert, boys' basketball and the yearbook staff. Speaking of class ofiicers, ours include: President JOHN STROUD Vice-president BILL FESSENDEN Secretary JANE LASH Treasurer MARY LOU BLAKE The successful Freshman Reception is credited largely to the guidance of our friendly and capable homeroom teachers, Mrs. Carlson and Mr. Bruce. 4 Q l ..- F RESHMAN CLASS Under the watchful and paternal eye of the ever-popular Mr. Bowman, the Freshman class started the year off with a bang. This bang was heard from B-2 and consequently the freshmen were sent scrambling to the auditorium, where life with Popper ran smoothly along. The freshmen elected as their class oflicers: Russell Howland, presidentg Hubbard Young, vice-presidentg Gertrude Jensen, treasurerg and Beatrice Pfeffer, secretary. Loyally backed by the rest of the class, these folks can't go wrong. F RESHMAN CLASS The freshmen are well represented in girls' basketball by B. Smith, A. Blake, S. Talbot, E. Whitney, B. Moore, and B. Pfelfer. A. Howland, P. Merrill, and H. Young were prominent on the swimming team, and the Junior Varsity have benefited by the efforts of R. Howland, W. Garland, W. Rey- nolds, Skillin, L. Russell, and D. Doughty. These and others of the class have helped make the annual magazine drive successful. All in all we believe that the Freshman class has been an asset to F.H.S. EIGHTH GRADE A splendid class is our Eighth Grade, And our teachers are just grand, We try to help in all that's done, When there's needed a helping hand Basketball games and parties, Swimming meets and plays, Were witnessed by most all of us In our good old eighth grade days. EIGHTH GRADE 'QDon Jensen is our President James Tocher is his Vice, Ruth Fessenclen as Secretary, Is cloing very nice. Last but not least comes Billy, Our little money man, Next year when we are Freshmen We aim to help again. , ' A A ... 4 lp GRADE SEVEN F. H. S., here we come from schools all over town. We hope you'll find us nice to have around. We've got the brains and also the brawn, If you Clare to deny it-just take us on. We showed our spirit in the Magazine Drive, Barbara Mason 17151 got first prize. Our contribution to The Councili'-now clon't lament Is Sally Stover and Bruce Clement. In arithmetic and art we enjoy Miss White, Though she makes us Work with all our might. Mrs. Gardyne in guidance and history has her way, Our hat's off to her most any clay. GRADE SEVEN Miss Daggett? Oh, she,s sure all right- Though for an AU in English she malces us fight. The girls say in Home EC. Miss Elliot's uswelln But the boys don,t know her so very well. Mr. Reeves is our joy in manual training all right, And we'd cheer for Mr. Bowman,s class all day and all night Then Principal Drummond we all admire, Our director and leader, a worthy sire. So, F. H. S., we'll try to be clever and nifty, For we'll he your Seniors in 1950. LAVENDER AND OLD LACE One of the outstanding events at Falmouth is the annual school play. This year the chosen play was Q'Lavender and Old Lace. Under the direction of Miss Phillips, the cast did a Hne joh of making the play a great success. Although the play was on the dra- matic side, there was suflicient humor to hold the smiles on the faces in the audience. The principal leads were: Phyllis Wheeler as Mary Ainslieg Richard Wheeler as Doctor Pattersong Ruth Merrill as Ruth Horneg and Norman Farwell as Carl Winheld. The supporting cast included: Sopfvrony Trotter JANET LUND Bernice Carleton ANN MORRIS jane Hathaway JANE STORER I-Iepsey RUTH AASKOV james Ball CHARLES EAMES joe Pendleton ARTHUR FREDRIKSEN 'tLavender and Old Lace was one of the best plays that has been presented at Fal- mouth High. Miss Phillips deserves a great deal of the credit and we, the students of Falmouth High School, extend to her and the cast our heartiest congratulations for the excellent performance. In Our Classrooms ENGLISH If you should see someone going around the corridors of Falmouth High muttering something about infinitives, participles, or tearing his hair over a double negative, don't call a psychiatrist. That poor unfortunate person is just suffering from a mild case of a very common disease. He no doubt has been exposed to the malady usually called Eng- lish Grammarf, Yes, gruesome as it may seem to some people, English has its uses. For the students of this high school the burden is made a great deal more bearable by the fact that the English department is under the capable direction of Miss Phillips. The course is divided into four divisions. Composition, grammar, oral English, vocab- ulary and literature. By composing themes, and studying the structure and style of various English compo- sitions, the student is able to express his thoughts more clearly, concisely, and correctly. Correct English is the mark of an educated person, anywhere, and at anytime, whether it is used in a formal essay, or spoken in an informal, every day manner. The literature of the course, written by both English and American authors, is one of the most interesting phases of the entire subject. By reading the works of these au- thors, the student becomes acquainted with the finest reading matter of both yesterday and today. Our high school English course enables us to understand better, and with a more broadened viewpoint, the writings of the contemporary authors, and see the world of literature from the eyes of the author of another era. F, LANGUAGES Another new year finds another new lot of ambitious students. Languages. seem to be quite the thing this year at F.l-LS. Our Freshman Class has started, with a grand percentage of twenty-five students, on their first year Latin. Last year everyone seemed to think that Latin wasn,t needed but we're glad to see so many people interested in it. This hrst year seems quite off the beamw with all its declensions and conjugations, but cheer-up, kids, Mrs. Motz will carry you through safely. The eighth grade is getting the sensation of pronouncing some Latin words in a half year course. The other half year will be taken up in conversational Frenchf, For them it is en- tirely new, but it's working out splendidly. Good luck to you future Caesar fans! The Latin II class is still struggling over moods and tenses of verbs and translation. Witli Caesar near at hand they are not so anxious to progress, for Caesar, as we know, was a mighty man. May your courage hold with you, Latin Class. French seems, as always, to be a popular language at F.H.S. First year French includes students from all classes. If anyone entered the room during the conversational time,', he would have quite a job understanding just what was going on. Most everyone Hnds this subject easy, especially if he has taken Lating besides, the words are very similar to our English words. The second year class find that things get more complicated as they step into their ad- vanced books, but that doesn't keep them from enjoying the hour spent in French. If you stroll near by their door someday, perhaps you'll hear them singing La Marseillaisev or some other well-known French song. The three people that are taking third year French certainly seem studious. Now that grammar is behind them they find translation the main thing under the ever-ready directions of our own Mrs. Parker. Last, but not least, is Spanish which was introduced last year. It is not only a prominent language at Falmouth but is coming into use more and more everywhere. Miss Phillips, who has been teaching this subject is a very fine senorita. Credit is also due her substitute, Miss Hanson. MATHEMATICS The mysteries of Zpq and xyz, as well as the problems of triangulation and the inimi- table polygon, all seem a little clearer to us after we have spent the better part of our high school technical preparation in the classes of our very superior mathematics depart- ment under the supervision of Mrs. Ada Carlson. Our school is now offering an excellent math', course consisting of all the high school mathematics subjects. Our commercially minded Freshmen are taking a Business Math course which provides a practical foundation for the more advanced subjects: Bookkeep- ing and Business Administration. For those in the College Course we offer studies in: Algebra for ZH years, Plane Geometry for one year, and Trigonometry and Solid Geometry for M year each. These subjects in advanced math provide the necessary background for our High School sci- ences such as chemistry and physics as well as the pre-requisite requirements for any technical studies in the colleges and universities of our country. We of Falmouth are justly proud of our Mathematics Course because of the inter- esting and thorough ways that these difficult subjects are caught to us through the untir- ing and construcive work of our supervisor Mrs. Carlson. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the school for making this course possible and to thank Mrs. Carlson for making it the profitable and interesting study that it is. AMERICAN HISTORY History is recording itself now and will in the future to come. Much of the history in the past is becoming more lifelike as time passes on. At this time it is most beneficial for us to study history, for now there is more history going on around us than there has been for hundreds of years. The American History class at Falmouth High is teaching to all of us the material we lacked about our independent country. The Monroe Doctrine, the different parties and what they stood for and how they came into being, the causes of the Civil War, how the big city politicians drew votes, and the way Presidents of the United States defended their beliefs show us how this government was run, protected and persevered throughout the centuries. Many times the principles of our government faltered but through great men such as Daniel Webster, Henry Clay, and John Quincy Adams, the Union has been preserved. Our class discussions and our notebook work link us more closely with the living of yesterday. Our history class of this year is smaller than last year, yet it becomes more interesting and profitable to us as time goes by. While we study American History, our brothers and other people's brothers are making history by the hour, so that they can come home to a free America. AERONAUTICS This year seven boys studied aeronautics in the laboratory. During the first six weeks of school we studied the theory of flight which proved to be a very interesting topic. Then we began work on a model plane which is original and is of our own design. After figur- ing out the measurements and setting them to scale, we drew blueprints and began work on the various sections. Woodbury Thompson, Howard Blake, and Raymond Cole made the wings, Norman Farwell and Art Fredriksen, the fuselage, and Don Crandall and Richard Wheeler, the tail. Of course, many difficulties in designing and in actual construction were encountered, but necessary alterations were made and work was resumed. Much time was spent in the shop where we were able to use certain tools. We wish to thank Mr. Reeves for allowing us the privilege of working there. The plane is an improvement over last year's and should serve as a good model for future classes. Upon its completion it will be exhibited to the student body. During the last part of the year the mathematics of navigation will be studied and, we trust, will prove as enjoyable and helpful as our laboratory experience has been. SCIENCE Living Chemistry makes the study of chemistry a living experience. Through chemis- try, pupils have come into contact with problems of a personal nature, of the immediate and world wide community, and the solution of practical problems. It is an exact science and its chief activity is research. Social implications have been stressed and direct consideration has been given to vocations and hobbies related to chemistry. We have been learning by doing in experiments from our laboratory manuals. This promotes a better understanding and develops accuracy in observations. Some of the funda- mental experiments are necessary for a thorough understanding of scientific principles. In the second half year we have studied organic chemistry. This differs from inorganic chemistry in that it is the chemistry of the individual rather than formulas and structures of matter. Biology has been given to the sophomores with the hope that it will teach them more about the road to health, their own bodies, their environment, and the appreciation of plant and animal life. Science and hygiene courses taken by the freshmen have been given to explain the laws of nature and lay a foundation for other scientific work. All the courses have been supplemented with outside work, and under the expert super- vision of Mr. Bruce, have been very interesting. COMMERCIAL We, the students of Falmouth High School who are taking the Commercial course, have much to say in favor of the advantages of these suhjects. Under the competent guid- ance of our teacher, Miss Roberta Rogers, we study two years of Typewriting and Short- hand, and one year of Bookkeeping, Dictaphone, and Calculator. In addition to this, our group receives secretarial training and experience both in the oflice of the principal and that of the superintendent. Those of us serving on the staff of the school paper, The Skipper, can use our skill in typing and in shorthand to good advantage and we prove to he a real help to the school. Monthly, there are awards to he obtained as we strive to pass speed and accuracy tests in both shorthand and typewriting. The awards given by the publishers of the Gregg Writer, for secretaries and students, are a great incentive for each and every one of us in this department to attain higher goals of achievement. This year, a new course, general typewriting, has been olfered to all those students taking the college and general courses. A course in typewriting has proved to he practical and advantageous to every pupil graduating from high school. We, the Class of 1945, are justly proud of the high standard in our Commercial De- partment, and we feel, as we leave for the business world, that our work will compare favorably with that of other students- from even larger high schools. HOME ECONOMICS Quality not quantity, is the echo that sounds through the Home Economics room at Falmouth High School. This motto refers mostly to the sewing classes. It is not the amount of work that's wanted but the quality of work which you do. The Home Economics course is made up of sewing, cooking, first aid, nutrition, home nursing, and child care. The Senior girls, this being their last year, are taught a little about each field. For a new field, the girls have taken up budgeting on a low, medium and high wage basis. This subject has shown them how to build and furnish a home on this same basis. The seventh grade girls, bubbling with curiosity and happy with the thought of sewing for the first time, learn the fundamentals of the machine and the reading of the deltor. To prove their new-found knowledge they made slips of cotton material. Cooking and the study of foods is the field that pleases most girls. In this field they plan menus and prepare meals. They also plan and serve teas or banquets to the faculty members. Another, along this line is the study of nutrition, which shows the girls the important factors in keeping the body healthy. For extra activities this department is helping the Red Cross. It makes cookies once a month to send to hospitals in the Portland area. It also canned fruits and vegetables the first part of the school year. The total amounted to 1,938 cans. We, the girls of the Home Economics classes, wish to express our appreciation for the careful direction given us by Miss Elliot. Her direction is sure to help in our future success. N INDUSTRIAL ARTS The age in which we now live has been referred to many times, and rightfully so, as the Machine Age. We are surrounded in this modern life by such matter of fact things as furni- ture, tin ware, electrical appliances, plumbing, blueprints, automobiles and radio. These we take as a matter of course until they are in need of repair and at that point a great many people are left by the wayside. To be able to repair and maintain some of the above mentioned utilities is one of the major aims of Industrial Arts of Falmouth. Some of the objectives of general education might be listed as follows: flj the development in each child of a unique personality in which there should be concern, sensitivity, and appro- priate action with respect to points of view of others, f2j development of such personal attri- butes with evidence of action as honesty in its broadest sense, industriousness, co-operativeness, thrift, resourcefulness, initiative and the consideration for the rights and welfare of others, GQ development of the ability to think through problems and to make decisions, and Q41 a concern about social problems and how to make the world a better and happier place in which to live. This department tries to live up to this code from the beginning by having the young boy make some useful article, not so much for the value of the finished product, but because the working out of this problem has taught him to think, and to develop new habits of thought, to act, to concentrate, to co-operate with one another and acquire a co-ordination of hand and mind. This method of learning by doing is followed through the Industrial Arts course plus the related matter in mechanical drawing, metal work, woodwork and electricity. All of the classes are helping on articles for the Red Cross, and the boys have made the cabinets containing the speakers as their part in installing the system, whereby Mr. Drummond may talk to and be answered from any room in the building. The junior and senior boys are taking a pre-induction course in electricity, which is largely outside work, because of the shortage of class time which has to be utilized in the making of their projects. We regret the losing of so many boys to the armed services, realizing how hard it will be for them to take up the thread of their learning on their return, but we admire their spirit and wish them one and all, a hearty farewell and speedy return. MECHANICAL DRAWING Our Mechanical Drawing course, under the capable direction of our Principal, Mr. Drummond, this year is being pursued by thirteen Junior boys from both the College and General groups. Mr. Drummond has included all types of drafting from free-hand sketching to pre- cision projection and revolution and thereby has given us an opportunity to express our- selves on paper in such a way that others, via a universal language of pictures, symbols and projections, may understand us more clearly. In learning this method of pictorial expression and in creating these drawings, we also learn to visualize the work of others and to understand the subject more clearly. In class discussions we have learned, among many other things, the more practical side of drafting as it will apply to us as individuals, and the vital part that this exacting science has in modern industry. Such illustrations as these seem to bring the subject home to us and give the course a tangible value. We have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy our work in mechanical drawing since we realize that it will aid us in becoming better and more useful citizens. PHYSICAL TRAINING In the last two or three years the sounds that come from the gym,' quite frequently are: One-two-three-four! One--two-three-four! These echoes are from Mr. Hig- gins in his gym classes. Classes in physical training are required by the state in order to get some of the boys into shape for the armed forces. In doing this, the boys are, in ways, ahead of the ordinary boy who does not take such training. Some of these exercises are a little bit strenuous, but they really do the job, and with a teacher like Mr. Higgins there is no reason why they shouldn't. In the last eighteen weeks he has really been giving us the works, so to say. But it has done us much good. In our appreciation we would like to pass on our best wishes to Mr. Higgins and thank him for the grand job he has done. THLETICS CTIVITIES Q GIRLS' BASKETBALL This year the Triple C League has been reorganized to include Cape Elizabeth, Gor- ham, Windham, and Falmouth. Setting out to win this league, Falmouth lassies were victors over all league teams but Cape Elizabeth, thus putting them into second place in the league. With the following girls out for basketball, Coach White had a good reservoir of strength. They included: Ann Hanson, Janet Lund, Marilyn McKenney, Joyce Priest, Joan Peterson, Connie Lane, Mary Lou Blake, Carleen Casparius, Marion Reynolds, Joanne Merrill, Irene Hansen, Mary Whitney, Beverly Smith, Betty Moore, Sally Talbot, Beatrice Pfelfer, and Alice Blake. Losing only two girls through graduation, we feel that in the year to come, we will have another successful team under the expert coaching of Miss White. Many thanks are extended her and also our two managers, Jean Clish and Priscilla Hanson.

Coming-baclc men were Ted Vail, Art Hatch, Art Fredrilcsen, Dana Fabricius, Bucky Leighton, Bud Winslow, Darrell Mileski, Brad Meehan, John Stroud, and Gus Phillips. Although the team had plenty of fight and always made a good showing, they werenlt as strong as the teams of other years. Somehow, the boys seemed to lack enough power to pull them ahead. They appreciated the support of both the school and the townspeople. They also appreciate the effort and time that Mr. Bruce has given this year. The team has had some tough luck this season but he has stuck by us at all times. The team feels greatly indebted to the services of our two managers, Richard Wheeler and David Merrill. At this writing, we still have one league game to play, namely, with Scarboro.

With a final score of 30 points, they placed second in the 100 yd. relay. Among the swimmers for Falmouth were: Jane Storer, taking part in the 25 yd. free- style, Betty Moore, 25 yd. breaststrokeg Jane Storer, Gertrude Jensen, 50 yd. freestyle, Constance Tormay, Marilyn Young, 25 yd. baclcstrolceg and Jane Storer, Patricia Esta- broolc, Gertrude Jensen, Janet Lund, 100 yd. relay. From the diving board, Gertrude Jensen and Gladys Clements showed us some good half-twists and jaclcnives. We thank you, Miss Rogers, and wish you the best of luck for promising teams in future years. BOYS' SWIMMING Twenty-eight swimming enthusiasts answered the call when tryouts were announced for the Boys' Swimming Nleet. In addition to the old faithfuls, many of the newcomers were Fresh- men trying out for the hrst time. We have only one practice period, so everything depends upon the showing which each one makes at this time. Everyone has a time trial on twenty-five yards, and it is upon the time shown that contestants are chosen for the freestyle events and fourman relay. Six schools had their teams represented at the meet and our school came in third place. We started out wonderfully well and placed in all the trial heats. About the middle of the meet, it was impossible to tell just who was going to take the first place. As the events went on, however, it became obvious that the Cape and Windham were going to be too strong for us, as such proved to be the case. The boys will miss Art', Hatch who has been loyal to the team for four years and in that time has won many points. He will be remembered as our strong backstroke swimmer and also as a good man to have in the relay. For the fifty yard event we can usually count on John Stroud to make a fine showing. This year he won points for us as being one of the few contestants in the entire meet who could swim correctly the diflicult breaststroke. Allan Johnson swam the 100-yd. in a creditable manner, an event which most of our boys are afraid to tackle. For all around swimming we can count on Brad,' Meehan and this year he helped the relay team to place third. Pete', Merrill and Russ Howland, though Freshmen, showed plenty of speed and we are looking for a good showing next year. Others who took part were Darrell Mileski in the breaststroke, Hubbard Young who can do the backstroke well, and Larry Smyth in the diving. The team wishes that swimming might play a more prominent part as a recognized sport, that we might have an opportunity to practice more, and that sometime the Triple C will arrange a spring meet in addition to the regular fall event. CHEERLEADIN G Beat me, Daddy, Eight to the bar, F. H. S. is going farf Brush me, Mommy, with a boogie beat, F. H. S. is hard to beatf F.H.S. is proud of the cheerleaders that have represented her at each basketball game throughout the season. On this most successful cheerleading team are: Janice Grover, Constance Tormay, Gladys Clements, Joanne Swett, Barbara Bjorn, Rodney Cole, and Raymond Cole. Not only have these people led cheers, but they have also created them. Many thanks go to this successful group and to their faithful director, Mrs. Parker. GIRLS' SOFTBALL One of the newest activities at F.H.S. is girls' softball. Under the supervision of Mr. Higgins, a fine group of sportsmen showed the students that girls could play softball. Last October on a bright sunny afternoon, these girls gathered together and met the soft- ball team from North Yarmouth Academy. It didn,t look too good for the Falmouth girls at Hrst, but with the aid of a homerun and bases loaded, Falmouth took the lead. At the end the score was tied. BUT! during the extra inning, the same girl hit another homerun, and Falmouth won the game with a score of 15 to 14. Thank you, Mr. Higgins, for helping the girls in a new sport at F.I-LS. We hope you will carry on with your fine work in the years to come. THE SKIPPER STAFF Attention! The Shipper? here! The Skipper came into port four times this year and brought us news from the gossip, joke, society, sports and editorial fronts. All was welcome news, and it seemed good to hear from our friends who had been sailing the ocean blue. When we heard that The Skipper had arrived, we waited anxiously, almost impatiently, for the latest, and were amply rewarded when the issues were sold. There were no shipwreclcs and no casualties so after a successful year's cruise, The Shipper dropped anchor until September ,45. Much credit is due Miss Rogers who weathered all storms and brought The Shipper crew safely to port. Her helping hands were: Editor-in-Chief JANE STORER Associate Editor JOAN PETERSON Editorial Editor MARY LOU BLAKE Gosyip Editor JANET LUND Social Editor RUTH MERRILL joke Editor POLLY BRAGG Sports Editor MARY EDNA KIMBALL Typists ANN MORRIS, MARIE BURNS To you girls we extend our appreciation for the fine work you've done. -- A .3 M 4. ,t THE MINSTREL SHOW Last fall, on October 13, under the splendid guidance of Miss Roberta Rogers and Miss Maria Phillips, the pupils of Falmouth High School presented a minstrel show to a large and appreciative audience. We believe this will long be remembered as a credit to the school for the proceeds, the sum of which we are justly proud, were donated to the Falmouth Memorial Library Fund. To our music director, Mr. Sampson, go special thanks for doing such a fine job in conducting our school orchestra in a medley of old Southern songs. Each and every act was sparkling and entertaining and included such artists as: Marjorie Merrill and Louise Goodspeed from the Little Red Schoolhouse , the harmonious vocal trio, Louise Ferguson, Ruth Merrill and Jean Clishg Richard Wheeler and Bob Irish in Take a Little Tip from Fatherv, those rootin' tootin' cowboys, Tommy Clish, Marjorie Merrill and Lois Clishg the trolley foursomef, Christine Eames, Connie Lane, Mary Dyer and Phyllis Wheeler, the rainbow girls, Louise Ferguson, Ruth Merrill, and Gertrude Jensen, a very A.. ......-.

The chorus made a fine showing as a vocal background and the black-faced comedians, Arthur Fredriksen, Richard Wheeler, Wesley Leighton and John Hodges added greatly to the performance. Much credit goes to the faculty advisors and all those who took part for their effort, enthusiasm, and time. POP CONCERT A night that will long hold its place in our memories is that of December 22, 1944. The auditorium looked beautiful with all its festive decorations of glistening icicles, soft lights, snow covered windows, and decorated tables. The many exclamations of delight were the reward for all the hours put into decoration for the Pop Concert. The theme of the Christmas Concert this year was Christmas Memoriesf' The master of ceremonies, Donald Rose, who was perfect in his part, announced the first feature of the program: Ruth Merrill, John Russell, and David Gooch in the theme-song of the evening Q'Memories.,, Miss 1938, Gertrude Jensen, gave us a peppy version of 1 Double Dare You. Marjorie Merrill, Louise Goodspeed and Leo May, representing the year 1939, got a good hand for their cute number, Scatterbrain. The Nlisses 1940, Louise Ferguson, Jean Clish and Ruth Merrill, blended their voices in the singing of The Shrine of St. Cecelia. 1941 was represented by the popular Elmer's Tune played by the equally popular Bud', Winslow. Pat Keefe with her sparkling rhythm to Winter Wonderland closed the first Hoor show. One of the most outstanding numbers on the program was a selection by our former and present music directors, Mr. Robert Stetson and Mr. Schuyler Sampson, Mr. Sampson, accompanied by Mr. Stetson at the piano played, on his violin, the well known Spanish Dance. After continued bursts of applause we listened to Ave Marian and Brahm's Lul- laby. This number came as a surprise to the audience and was a great addition to the evening's entertainment. Then Mr. Stetson gave us a piano solo and obligingly played many encores. The second floor show opened with Carolyn and Bill Chesley playing 'QWorld,s Fair March as a clarinet and accordion duet. Betty Walsworth favored us again this year with the singing and dancing of There'll Be A Yankee Christmas. janet Lund as Miss 1943 sang the well known White Christmasf' Louise Ferguson representing Miss 1944, beautifully rendered 1'm Sending My Love For Christmas? Ending the program Teddy Russell skillfully played the xylophone solo, Nola. The accompanists for the eveningls entertainers were joan Peterson, Mr. Norman Bruce, and Mr. Sampson. The choristers, Jean Clish, Mary Dyer, Ruth Merrill, Gertrude Jensen and Louise Ferguson, offered their voices in the well- loved Christmas carols. After A Christmas Lullaby,', Ruth Merrill sang Bach's Ave Maria. Dancing was enjoyed the rest of the evening by the music of John Cwoochis orchestra. Thanks and appreciation go to Miss Rogers, Mr. Sampson, Miss Elliot and to the committee chairmen for their time and effort which made this another successful Pop Concert. ORCHESTRA AND BAND This year, our orchestra and band have been under the leadership of a new musical director, Mr. Schuyler Sampson. This organization, composed of members from both the high school and junior high, has shown much enthusiasm and talent during the year. The first appearance of the orchestra was at the Minstrel Show in the fall, when they played a medley of Old Southern Folk Tunes which was arranged by Mr. Sampson. Selections were rendered before and between the acts of the school play, Lavender and Old Lacef' At the Christmas Pop Concert, a group, selected from the band, Joanne Merrill, John Burke, William Reynolds, Bruce Clement and Reginald I-Iilborne, played a number of the carols in harmony. The orchestra will make at least three other appearances before the end of the school year, namely, at the operetta, Last Chapel, and Graduation. We would like to extend our appreciation to our new director, Mr. Sampson, for his pa- tience and understanding. GLEE CLUB Our glee club, under the direction of Mr. Schuyler Sampson, has made several appearances since the beginning of the school year. The Chorus of the Minstrel Show and many of the specialty numbers were made up from members of our glee club. A small group sang the well-known and well-loved Christmas carols at the Christmas Pop Concert. Our group is also planning to sing selections at the grad- uation exercises. We have had much enjoyment and many good times in chorus singing. Those of us, who are leaving, will miss it and all the pleasure it brought. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you, Mr. Sampson, for your help. Weive enjoyed working under your supervision. ,-.. A- .-, Y U. , . .,v , v , , ,.,.,! PIRATES OF PENZAN CE This year, under the supervision of our new musical director, Mr. Schuyler Sampson, the students of Falmouth High School will present the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Pirates of Penzancef, This operetta tells the story of Frederick, a pirate apprentice, who on the day he had intended to leave the pirate band, learned that he was born on Leap year. This meant that instead of being twenty-one, he was only a little over five years of age. Frederick comes to meet Major General Stanley and becomes infatuatecl with the Major General's youngest daughter, Mabel. As Frederick is not out of his indentures, the two are separated. The action which takes place in the finale brings the operetta to a happy ending. The cast of characters is as follows: Richard, Pirate Chief DAVID GOOCH Samuel, Lieutenant DAVID MERRILL Frederick, apprentice pirate RICHARD WHEELER Major General Stanley ARTHUR FREDRIKSEN Edward, Police Sergeant WILLIAM CI-IESLEY Mabel, Major General's Youngest Daughter RUTH MERRILL Kate, Major General'5 Daughter JEAN CLISI-I Edith, Major General's Daughter LOUISE FERGUSON Isabel, Major General? Daughter JOAN PETERSON Ruth, piratical maid of all work JANET LUND The operetta will mean work and pleasure for all those who take part in it. Thanks and appreciation go to Mr. Sampson and the cast for their time and co-operation. MAGAZINE DRIVE Each fall, at the beginning of the school year, the students of Falmouth High School look forward to the Magazine Drive and Mr. Sprague. This year was no exception and the enthus- iasm, which is always displayed at Falmouth, was as high as ever. General Rogers, who headed the campaign, had as two capable assistants Major Daggett and Major Gardyne. Major Daggett headed the B-17's who were composed of flyers from the seventh, tenth, and twelfth ranks. The B-24 crew mates, under the leadership of Major Gardyne, were from the eighth, ninth and eleventh grades. The crew members were right on the beam and kept on the true course throughout the campaign. Never once did they give up the fight and it was a toss-up to see which airplane would prove to be the better. At the end of the drive, which lasted from September 27 to October 9, we found, however, that Major Daggett's crew had weathered all storms and had the most subscriptions chalked up to their credit. Major Gardyne's plane came flying in closely behind. An American Hag and a five pound box of chocolates were presented the class bringing in the greatest number of sales. Credit was due the seventh grade, who, when awarded the prize, were officially declared the champions of the drive with the high saleslady, Barbara Mason, a member of their class. THE LIBRARY Under the expert direction of Miss Phillips the Library Club has proved itself very efficient this year. Ir has worked diligently towards the improvement of the library. The members are: Jean Clish, president, Janet Lund, secretary and treasurer, Ann Hanson, Mary Kimball, John Russell, Phyllis Wheeler, Priscilla Hanson, Edward Perry and Betty MacDonald. The library itself provides an excellent place for study and reference. The two latest addi- tions to the reference shelves are World War II and Who's Who. Some of the latest fiction and non-fiction additions are Rose Franken's Claudia, Kenneth Roberts' Oliver Wiswellf' Robert St. John's Land of the Silent People, and i'One World by Wendell Willkie. These and many others are books that are highly practicable for book reports. The library has been a great help to the students this year. We wish to thank the members of the Library Club and Miss Phillips for making library privileges possible in our school. HOB -N OB PARTY On November 28, a hob-nob party was given to those who participated in the selling of magazines. Anyone who had sold one or more subscriptions in the magazine drive was ad- mitted to the party. Again our ever-faithful Miss Rogers took charge. Helping on the committee were Ann Hanson, chairman, Woodbury Thompson, Leroy Morse, David Merrill, Joan Peterson, Bill Fessenden, Mary Lou Blake, Marjorie Merrill, and Louise Goodspeed. The gymnasium was appropriately and colorfully decorated in colors of orange and green. The entertainment was well-planned and a very enjoyable evening of games, dancing, and refreshments was had. As a special feature the teachers put on a skit How to Behave in School. You can imagine the students' enjoyment when they saw Miss White, Miss Daggett, Mrs. Gardyne, Mr. Bowman, Mr. Bruce, Mr. Sampson, and Mr. Drummond as students under Mrs. Motz' bespectacled eye! A moving picture, Gay Desperado, starring Ida Lupino, was also shown. Refreshments of hot dogs, raised doughnuts, ice cream, and cider ended a most successful and happy party. In anticipation of more evenings like this, we feel certain that we will have many more Over the Top magazine drives. ALUMNI NOTES Class Babbidge, Jeanne Teacher, Harpswell Ctr.
