Foreword Feehan First -- we, the class of 1965, are Feehan's First. We have left our impress on every Feehan en- deavor: our yearly retreats, vocation Masses, language records, outside reading, football upsets and basketball close-ones. ' And we have taken from Feehan the spirit which unity of aim and cooperation of effort engenders. For, the formation of the Christian man or woman, of the adult of the modern world, was the purpose for building our school and the goal of all the education within it. The constant interest of our Bishop and administra- tors, the personal concern of our principal and faculty, the good fellowship of our classmates, all have created that indefinable something that is the spirit of Feehan. With each one of us as we set out from our last Feehan First -- our Graduation -- will go the memories and the lasting influences of Bishop Feehan High School. You, our parents, our teachers, our friends, who read this book of memories, our Flashback, will find here our tribute of prayerful thanks. A FEEHAN LAST -- Sue Connor, Bob McQuade, and Bob Quinn leave Feehan by way of the chapel door for the last time. ey

Administration sets the pace at Feehan: Behind every dream, a dreamer; behind every reality in accomplishment. '' With these words, His Excellency, he Most Reverend James L. Connolly, D.D., Bishop of ‘all River Diocese, began the key speech at the dedica- ion ceremonies on January 6, 1962. The stage where he tood, the crowded auditorium before him, the entire irst Freshman class behind him, all were concrete evi- lence of a dream realized in this Catholic coeducational uigh school, the first in the Attleboro area. Our beloved 3ishop nurtured this dream from the architect's drawing, chrough long months of construction and fund-raising to the present beautiful modern structure named for his oredecessor, Bishop Daniel F. Feehan. But Bishop Connolly is more than an efficient ad- ministrator. He has been a devoted spiritual father who has shown a continuing interest in all that concerns Fee- han. Just as the dedication blessing did not end when candles were extinguished and flowers taken away, so the blessing of our Bishop's fatherly concern and interest hovers over all our days. sisi iis eae tacita isa apps ob ii FOR THE CLASS OF 1965, it was a unique occasion when Bishop Connolly presided at the dedication exercises on January 6, 1962. MEMBERS OF THE CHEF COURSE, Arthur Gilooley and Donald Ouellette, serve the meal they cooked for the Bishop.
