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.

Activities — FITTING IN Almost every student at Fenwick finds a place in which to fit. Through our various activities and clubs it is easy to be a part of the school. There is something for everyone, from the Chess Club, the Math Club, and the Science League to the Band and Scuba Club. The diversity of our activities reflects the wide array of in- terests that Fenwick students have. Even those who don ' t belong to the clubs find their place in other activi- ties. The Social Committee organizes school dances, class trips such as mountain climbing and ski trips, and other popular events. All students can read the school newspaper and the magazine sponsored by the Cultural Committee, or they can go on a retreat planned by the Campus Ministry. The annual spring musical always attracts a large number of students thanks to the hard work of the Drama Club. Clockwise: My Fair Lady.
