Bishop Fenwick High School - Lance Yearbook (Peabody, MA)

“Frankly, Scarlett, I don’t give a damn.” Everyone knows the familiar words of Rhett Butler to Scarlett O’Hara In the film classic Gone with the Wind. So many people have repeated them that they have become a standard comeback signaling disinterest. However, in the script of Bishop Fenwick, they do not exist. The people who make up the Fenwick family give much more than a “damn — they give friendship, laughter, concern, experience, knowledge, respect and most of all — themselves. The stars of our show are tied by a bond that can not be severed with a few words because they have given and received too much. At Fenwick, Rhett’s words have no meaning. Our standard answer when we are asked If we care is: Frankly, my dear, I couldn ' t care more! This yearbook is intended to be a souvenir program of the production 10S2- 1 0B3. We show the stars at work and at play, as well as the directors, producers and a cast of hundreds on the Fenwick set. Here are the scenes which will never be forgotten — the tears, the laughter and the greatest moments ever recorded on film. We have tried to capture the spirit of Fenwick on these pages, a spirit which combines the excitement and adventure of Raiders of the Lost Ark, the unselfish love of E. T. , ” as well as our own times of sharing and friendship. Not all of us can be a Henry Fonda or a Katherine Hepburn, but every member of the Bishop Fenwick community de- serves an Academy Award for some special scene played over the past year. That is why this book is written. We want to record the scenes and people who made them possible, both in front of the camera and behind the set. This is our collection of memories. B.B.

Critic’s Choice ★ ★★★FATHER RICHARD MESSINA — For the past eleven years, Bishop Fenwick High School has been featuring a dazzling hit. The critics agree! Fr. Richard Messina’s outstanding service to the Fenwick community and his dedication to the advancement of the school have earned him rave notices from the public. This talented man contributes in several different roles either in front of the cameras or behind the scenes. He is a star as school chaplain and is a headliner in the guidance and religion departments. The fans know Fr. Dick for his fine direction and award-winning personality, but he is probably best recognized for his talent of being able to relate successfully to young people. Whether it be welcoming a class of freshmen, teaching a religion course, or saying a mass for the student body, Fr. Dick adds his own unique personality to the scripts at Fenwick Productions. We applaud Fr. Richard Messina’s performance in this book. In recognition for all that he has given to the students of Bishop Fenwick — his invaluable guidance, undeniable humor and immeasurable love — we say “ENCORE!” Good luck in future showings! M.C. A min
