Morning Time — COMING Before B a.m. every school day, over BOO students arrive at Bishop Fenwick High School. We come by bus, car, motorbike, bicycle, and on foot. Some of us arrive well- organized and early while others barely make it into homeroom in time for the morning prayer. Do you remember your freshman year, rushing out the door to meet the bus, breakfast in one hand, lunch in the other? Even worse were the days when the bus came late, or didn ' t come at all. Remember when the bus broke down, and you had to wait without heat in cramped conditions until the company could send another bus for you? As sophomores and juniors we graduated to carpools and a different set of problems. Do you recall how furious you were when you were forced to serve a detention for your homeroom teacher because your carpool was 1 □ minutes late? Then there were the days when a member of your carpool invited a friend to spend the night and you all had to cram yet another person into the back seat. All squished together with our book bags on our knees, we won- dered if it was really worth the trouble to get to school. As seniors we have gone beyond all that. Now we have our own cars, and maybe even our own carpools, with underclassmen as paying passengers. We still have problems, such as trying to make a left turn from Mar- gin street into the circle. Hurrying to school in order to find a parking space is another. But it sure beats buses and carpools — after all, now we have control of the radio! Clockwise: The Bermuda way. Bret DeBenedetto arrives in style. — The family wagon. Jennifer Erb and Kyle Archibald are dropped off in front of the school. — Parking in rear. Bill Himaris looks pleased with himself after securing one of Fenwick ' s few parking spaces. — Public transportation. Nicole Abrams can ' t wait to get to class.

Practice Time — PART OF THE TEAM As in many other aspects of our school, Bishop Fenwick has a tradition of excellence in its renowned sports program. For four of the past five years, we have been honored in receiving the Boston Globe’s Nason Award for overall achievement in sports. This accomplishment is due largely to the cooperation between and dedication of both team members and coaches. Although all of the teams played well in 1 S86, several which stood out were the undefeated swim and girls ' cross country teams, the girls ' basketball and softball teams as well as the track, volleyball, and field hockey teams. The members of these teams worked hard and devoted much of their free time training for a successful season. The same enthusiasm and dedica- tion is evident in this year ' s teams as they prepare for their games and meets. Even before school starts, Fenwick athletes begin training for the fall season. Winter sports as well as fall sports start preparing their players in early September, an example of the dedication that Fenwick athletes possess. These late summer training sessions which begin in August, continue into autumn. Most afternoons throughout the school year, the fields behind the school are filled with in- dividuals pushing themselves to help their teams achieve their goals. 1 A Clockwise: No pain, no gain.
