Spiritual, intellectu- al, and material needs are provided for. Faculty experience and maturity, confidence and courage are shared with ‘us to make our climb easier. Multiple A- V equipment, a well-stocked library, ful- ly equipped science labs, inspiring, en- ergetic, versatile teachers — all have helped us on to greater heights. Under- standing in times of trouble, help in times of need, enthusiasm in times of joy, prayer at all times for our welfare are the themes of Feehan faculty and students’ sounds of music echoing along steep slopes of academic life. bs ie, PRINCIPAL

Sounds of music in laughter ring through Feehan woods as Jan- ice Morris, Tom Warburton, John Motyka and Kathy Geddes en- joy a few moments of fun before school. Foreword Having recorded the music of our Feehan years in the 1966 Flashback, we cannot classify the score in any one musical category. Scholastic, athletic, and religious triumphs were our sym- phonies. Then there were cadenzas of joy at our proms, clashing cymbals at rallies, and boom- ing bass drums at games, win or lose. The dominant chord in our Feehan coda, however, sounded in the warm, swinging, singing of our Christmas hootenany and our Flashback Sere- naders. Here the movement, life, and timeless- ness of music reflected our life-teeming teens. We, the class of 1966, composed of such dif- ferent personalities, have prayed, worked, and played together through our Feehan history. Our memories, compounded of staccato notes of struggle, the crescendo movement of class and school loyalty, the allegro of good times and friends, now move into the diminuendo of our last days. To our administrators and faculty who directed our musical, our parents who supported it, and our fellow students who harmonized with us, we address these pages. As we transcribe here these last sounds of our Feehan music, we hope we have written therein the true ‘‘notation of our hearts.’ Considering a theme, eager staff members, Jacky Baker and Pat Beach, work on the 1966 Flash- back. 0u, ORR sie

From our Journalism scrapbook, Bishop Connolly catches up with the news of Feehan victories won while he was in Rome at Vati- can II Council. Administration We were not a part of Feehan very long when we realized that the word, ‘‘Bishop,’’ preceded by ‘‘our,’’ referred to someone who had played a vital part in providing the wonderful education which we were to re- ceive at this beautiful school which we shall soon call ‘‘Alma Mater.”’ Bishop James L. Connolly, made Bishop Feehan High School a reality. It exists because he looked into the future, saw a need, and provided for that need in presenting the Attleboro area with our modern structure. Our beloved Bishop has continued to be a devoted spiri- tual father who shows a Sincere, personal interest in all that concerns Feehan. Bishop James J. Gerrard, Auxiliary Bishop of Fall River, and Vicar-General of the diocese has also evinced a fatherly interest in our growth and development. We are happy to have shared a memorable Feehan ‘‘first.’’ our 1965 graduation, at which he presided, and we are grateful for his interest. Our Bishops show a fatherly concern for Feehan. Before the Fall River Diocesan Teachers Institute, held annually at Feehan, Bish- op Gerrard and Father O'Neill note Holy Family High Glee Club’s musical num- bers.
