“Feehan first—in sanctity, scholarship, and sports- manship!”” This was the challenge which Sister Mary Urban presented to Feehan’s first class as she wel- comed them to the first Catholic high school in the Attleboro area in September, 1961. Keeping Feehan first, win or lose, was the primary endeavor of Sister’s five year term as our first principal. Vitally concerned in developing the whole Christian, Sister gave herself without stint to Feehan students and school. With un- derstanding, love, and enthusiasm, Sister planned cur- ricula, encouraged experimentation, expanded facili- ties, and guided us through the growing pains and joys of a new school. In July, 1966, having firmly rooted Feehan in Christian principles and engendered a spirit of cooperation and enthusiasm second to none, Sister left us to assume new duties as supervisor of diocesan secondary schools. That Feehan will always be first in her heart we do not doubt. That Sister may know the gratitude and affection she will always have in our hearts, we, the class of 1967, present our Jechan Flashback to. . ae ell Feehanites at her diocesan office door bring smiles of welcome to Sister. Sister Mary Urban in . . . Dedication. Flashback staff members, Bob Blythe, Marian Harris, Betty Kowalczyk, and Gene LaPointe share Sister Mary Urban’s pride as she points out colleges attended by Feehan graduates.

Diocesan and School “What is administration?’’ students sometimes wonder. It seems so far up and away that we forget that admin- istrators are people—in this case, people who are vitally concerned with Feehan. Our Most Reverend Bishop James L. Connolly had not only the far-sighted vision to estab- lish a Catholic high school in this area but also the ener- getic initiative to make this dream a reality. Aiding Bishop Connolly in his work of diocesan education is his Vicar-General, Auxiliary Bishop James J. Gerrard, also a staunch friend of Feehan. Organizational details, curric- ulum planning, equipment expansion make up some of the responsibilities of our diocesan superintendent, Father Pa- trick J. O’Neill and his assistant, Father Joseph Delaney. From our earliest days in our unfinished building to our latest scholastic achievements, these two priests, by their personal interest and support, have brought diocesan administration closer to our daily lives. Waiting for the graduation line to form, Bishop Connolly peruses our latest Feehan Flashback. Addressing our teachers at the Convention held annually at Feehan is Bishop James J. Gerrard Auxil- iary Bishop. Father Delaney smiles his approv- al of Feehan achievements. Addressing the departing seniors, Father O'Neill expresses his con- gratulations.
