Bishop Feehan High School - Flashback Yearbook (Attleboro, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 104 of the 1968 volume:

This wcarooek belonas to: A : Office of the President Bishop Feenan tHiagh Scheol PLAST D ACK DOS BISHOP FEEHAN MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL Attleboro, Massachusetts Lance Corporal Gary Flynn, class of °65, first Feehan student to give his life for his country in Viet Nam— is an example of the true Feehan spir- it. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Flynn, donated the flag over his casket to our school. This flag now flies over Feehan as a symbol of Gary’s dedica- tion which inspired him to volunteer for a dangerous mission beyond the call of duty. To Mr. and Mrs. Flynn, we offer our condolences and our thanks for remembering that Feehan was so much a part of Gary’s life. Spirit of ‘68P—Change! What makes this year so important? Changes! This year the bewildered Fresh- man could not be distinguished from the sophisticated Seniors because of the changes: rotating schedules, varying lengths of classes, ungraded Art, Home Eco- nomics and Speech classes, and “free” study periods. Religion classes became more informal, the Juniors re- ceived their class rings in December at a closed cere- mony, and Freshman, Sophomores and Juniors had days of recollection at La Salette. Still more changes confronted us—a winter Senior Prom, brown loafers, students of the month, and the Coke Room. Feehan’s auditorium this year became the temporary center of St. Mark’s Parish. How we, the class of 1968, coped with these changes is the story of our year, as pre sented in. . .

All of these denote progress, and although Fee- han’s progress is not publicized nationally, Feehan is an active part of the community. Through the Spirit of ’68 in academics espe- cially, we have felt many changes: smaller classes, a larger curriculum, more lab periods, and traditional schedule walls broken down. “1A” became an everyday expression. No Fee- hanite has ever won a Pulitzer prize in Science or English but we are winning in area and state science fairs, oratory and essay competitions. New math formulas have not been discovered, but Feehan boasts a fine math team. Aware of our need to be prepared to take a place in society, the faculty set up a Sociology course. With all these advantages, why shouldn't a Feehan graduate be a future Pulitzer prize winner, President, or Homemaker of America?

In our past, there was a time when our beloved Alma Mater was but a dream. We do not often stop to consider those individuals who made Feehan’s existence possible. They are very much a part of our life as we go about our study here at Feehan. Our greatest benefactor, our Bishop, is the man who made dreams realities when Feehan came into being. Bishop James L. Connelly is aided in his work by Auxiliary Bishop James J. Gerard, who also greatly augmented Feehan’s progress. Our own school life is directly affected by our superintendent and good friend, Father Patrick J. O'Neill. Now diocesan secondary school supervisor, Sister Mary Urban was our first principal who saw us through our early days. We all shall remember Father Ed- mond Dickenson, a very close friend and trustee of Feehan, who passed away in October, 1967. S.M. Mercy and S.M. Kilian, our principal and vice-principal respectively, are concerned with our personal school lives. Under the competency of their direction and guidance, our spiritual, intel- lectual, and athletic potential are developed. To make an enriched curriculum available to Feehan students through flexibility in scheduling requires many hours of plan- ning by S.M. Mercy, principal, and S.M. Francis, guidance director. In addition to business classes, S.M. Kilian, vice- principal, keeps Feehan. routine running smoothly as she checks daily attendance. Guidance serves students’ present and future. College transcripts, class schedules, and confused students confront S.M. Frances, Mrs. Eleanor Conley, and Mr. Peter Stubbs every September. Soon students simmer down and in- dividual appointments begin. Seniors are free to use the catalogues in the guidance center and have the opportunity to meet spokesmen from colleges, nursing schools, and voca- tional schools. While Seniors are making vital decisions, underclassmen follow specially designed programs. Priests, brothers, and sisters explain vocations to the religious life. During Career Week, hairdressers, psychologists, special education teachers, FBI agents, accountants, and engineers discuss their careers with the underclassmen.

Classes have been greatly improved through more lively group discussions, thought- rovoking movies, and readable books. The English program barine with types of literature in the Freshman year. Sopho- mores study American literature, while Juniors absorb the heritage of English literature. During the Senior year the flexibility and symbolism of contemporary writers are sub- jected to critical analysis. Composition, grammar, and vo- cabulary study are essential for all. $.M.

In today’s scientific and technological civiliza- tion, a knowledge of mathematics is essential to the educated individual to develop his sense of responsibility and logical thinking. Freshmen begin with Algebra I, learning the basics of modern mathe- matics. Sophomores continue with Geometry, a necessary and interesting course. College prepara- tory upperclassmen are offered Algebra II, Advanced Math, Intermediate Math, and Functions. The mathematics department under Sister Therese Agnes includes Sister Mary Virginia, Sister Marie Donna, Sister Mary Philomena, Mr. Thomas Maccarone, and Mrs. Sandra Weintraub. “No answer yet?” queries Math department chairman, S.M. Therese Agnes in her Advanced Math class. Sister also teaches Intermediate and Junior Math, Geometry and Algebra and moderates the Student Council. “Two heads are better than one,” say Robin Malin and Marjorie Masse as they master-mind a complex problem.

As head of the language department, Sister Barbara Marie inaugurated a Spanish and French culture course. Shown here are Daniel Lyons, John Shea, Brian Houghton, Daniel Kiley, Judith De Witt, and Joan Deem. French is serious business with Mr. Ronald in Latin enliven language classes. Songs, movies, filmstrips, and tapes have made routine language classes more enjoyable. Students study not only the grammar of the language but also the history and culture of the native speakers. Under Sister Barbara Marie the language classes have been reduced in size to achieve better student-teacher re- lations and more individual help. Faculty members Sister M. Othilda, Sister M. Sheila, and Mr. Ronald Cote emphasize speaking and understanding in their Spanish and French classes. In Latin classes students are given individual attention by Sister Marie Don- na, Sister M. Noel, and Sister M. Enda through group discussions and independent study. Above: Group discussions of the story of Rome make Latin IT with $.M. Noel so much easier.

To meet these challenges history class?” inquires Mr. Loew. and to help the students become aware of their rela- tionships to others, Feehan has established a Sociology course, open to Seniors under the guidance of Sister Mary Othilda. Past and present problems are analyzed in the History department, headed by Mr. Frederick Bartek. Mr. Bar- tek, assisted by Mr. Paul O’Boy and Mr. Neil Loew, teach Freshman World History, Junior American History, and Senior Problems of American Democracy and Consumer Economies. Does anyone have a sociology workbook?

Creativity, the key to Art class, is a mood, an expression, a putting yourself on paper, a making materials into a part of you with cloth, paper, or paints. Sister Marie Donna teaches not only print making, painting, ceramics, but also art history and criticism. For students who still cannot fit Art into their program despite the open-ended, ungraded scheduling, Sister conducts an Art club after school. Smiling through the Christmas rush for decorations, Sis- ter Marie Donna creates a stylized card. Using sponges and brayers, Freshmen and Sophomore Art students achieve a textured effect for their cards. Are men better cooks than women?

ATHLETICS “Teams that will not be beaten, cannot be beaten!” This quote, borrowed by Mr. O’Boy from his coach, is often used in the locker room and rallies. Unwary people might think of sports only in the capacity of the games and players. There is much more. The basic reason for athlet- ics is to train the body and mind to be strong and to overcome difficulties in a reasonable way. Of- ten the “streamline” team bus had to be welded together to take the boys to away games. Plays had to be worked out and sent in from the side- lines. Cheerleaders have to co-ordinate the ac- tions while observers juggle their time to rally team spirit. Win or lose, there has always been a crowd of families, alumni, faculty, and students, to greet our team at the gym door.

In our next game, Durfee High slipped past us with a 12-8 loss. Another Shamrock winning streak started when they beat Mansfield 18-14 and New Bede Vocational 32-8. Feehan’s dreams were halted when Attleboro scored two quick touch- downs to win 15-14. Thanksgiving Day’s battle with Stang was climaxed with many tremendous goal line stands by the Shamrocks as they battled a 0-0 tie. Only thirteen more points and we would have been B.C.L.

With the best of coaches, Mr. Bartek and Mr. Andy Whelahan, with Tony Gazzola as captain, and a hard-working varsity and J.V. team, Feehan held high hopes throughout the 1968 season. Freshman players prepared for the future under the direction of Mr. Neil Loew. Tight squeeze for the Alumni when senior, Mark Galvin, interferes with Karl Van den Berghe’s long reach. et Experienced lettermen xf Long before the snow has melted from the Shamrock infield, the baseball team begins prac- ticing. Weeks before official practice starts, the pitchers and catchers spend their afternoons in the gym working their arms into shape and per- fecting their pitches for the coming season. This year the Shamrock Nine has a new coach, Mr. Thomas Maccarone, who will lead the team in defense of their B.C.L. Crown of 1967. If they play as they have in the past, the seniors, Captain Ty Brennan, John Mandeville, Paul Sullivan, and John Shea, will lead the team to another great season, as they end their athlet- ic careers at Feehan.

From the end of February to the middle of June the sweatsuited Feehan track and golf teams, can be seen practicing on the many fields of Shamrockland. Whether running, jumping, or driving a ball down the fairway, they are always working to better their own records and the records of those who have passed before them. Every day Coach Bartek leads the team in a series of four 440’s, as they prepare for dual meets to defend their Class B New England Catholic Championship. Coach Loew has four solid Se- nior golfers returning, A. Reilly, M. Galvin, $8. McCarthy, and R. Goulet. Their four years of varsity experience could prove fatal to opposing teams. As in the past, the 1968 version of the “Sham- rock Thinclads” should be the best around. Senior Captain C. Des- chenes, T. Maguire, J. Desilets, P. Proulx, M. Shea, J. Myles, F. Fitzpatrick and E.

October came—the leaves turned colors, everyone was used to their new status; we were settling down for a long, cold, New England winter, and the whole school was preoccupied with many extracurricular and social events. Basketball ranked fore- most among Feehan’s activities. The girls’ team, full of vim and vigor, set oft for a long season. Though a comparatively inexper- ienced team without the graduates from last year, the twenty girls, co-captained by Marjorie Masse and Kathleen Lang, showed determined spirit. Under the coaching of Mrs. Sandra Weintraub and S.M. Rose Angela, the team started out with a re- sounding victory over Jesus-Mary Academy in Fall River. A will- ingness to win combined with terriffic teamwork prompted the girls on to bigger victories. Rallying together, they brought home a hard earned fourth place trophy from the LaSalle Invitational Tournament played in Providence, Rhode Island.

Owning a racquet and a pair of tennis sneakers is only a beginning of being a tennis player. But as our newly acquired national girls’ tennis champion testi- fies, it takes practice and determination to become an expert. Freshman Andrea Voikos has been play- ing since she was nine. This fall, Andrea won both the 18-and 16-and-under crowns at the national matches held at Salem, Mass. Encouraged by having a champion in their midst, old and new club mem- bers can hardly wait till spring. Moderator, S.M. Rose Angela, arranges intramural matches and matches with area high schools. Sister teaches prop- er techniques of handling a racquet, scoring, and foot work on the courts adjoining the baseball field. This year Sister plans to form a badminton club also. Fourteen year old Feehan freshman, Andrea Voikos, is the nation’s youngest major tennis titleholder. No matter how this match turns out, Kathleen Caron and Nancy Tennis fans, Mary Doyle and Kathleen Grimes are on their way to Araujo will still be friends. after-school practice. 34 Spirit of “68 in... y nit ACTIVITIES Couples only at the prom, dramatic club tryouts on Friday, Flash deadline and all articles not in—we could go on for pages about how clubs and activities depend on the students. There is a cocurricular activity to suit every ersonality. Socialities may be on committees 3 dances and social events, while chemists and shutter-bugs may belong to the science club. Ambitious and diligent people may join Flash, Flashback, library, and book discussion clubs. And what do you do if you work after school? Join chorus or band which meets during period five. All these activities not only provide an op- portunity for development of talents but also in- volve students with others in the give and take of community living and working.

Under the direction of S. Therese Agnes and the leadership of the five senior officers, the Student Council has become a vital link between the faculty and the students. After the Council abolished student court and summons, they concentrated on dances, movies, assemblies, exchange student pro- grams and participation in the Southeastern Massachusetts Association of Student Coun- cils. Courtesy week and Spirit Week en- couraged more student participation and ae : “hoe ee Santa’s reindeer, M. E. Donnelly, K. Caron, J. Valade, K.

Fish nets, kleenex, sheets, and tissue paper were the foun- dations of our Junior Prom décor. The ey anxiety, and frustration in planning our Ebb Tide gave way to satisfaction as we witnessed one hundred fifty exes of kleenex and six feet of chicken wire transformed into a lighthouse. The master- piece sea-mural occupied the entire ¢ cafeteria wall and kept its committee literally locked up in the convent as they ap- plied the finishing touches. This year the cafeteria gave way to the Sheraton- Biltmore. Teardr op glass chandeliers and a magnificent view of the Providence capitol building provided an elegant atmosphere for our Senior Prom. Juniors make their social debut at the annual Junior-Senior semiformal sponsored by the Seniors in the late fall. Again the cafeteria was transformed over-night into a scene of pump- kins and haystacks while girls changed from “plain-Janes” to debutantes.

Feehan’s open line—Flash and Flashback Silly buttons, countless bottles of Coke, dummy sheets, 3-R forms, grease pencils, pictures and those ridiculous “thinking caps” kept us busy while we worked on the 1968 Feehan Flashback. $.M. Enda, moderator, acted as chief dispatching officer and ref- eree. Next door, in the Journalism room, life went on almost as if the yearbook did not exist. S.M. Noel and her staff quietly grinned and bore our idiosyncrasies and in our many emergencies lent us their typewriter. 40 pens, and even their room. Little did we realize that the Flash staff worked just as hard for their monthly deadlines, and were our biggest supporters. Through the monthly publication of the newspaper in the At- tleboro Sun the staff of the Flash had a double responsibility: not only to keep the student body in- formed and entertained, but also to project a true image of Bishop Feehan to the community. Above: Sophs, Dennis Dolan and Steve Parenteau help Sis- ter M. Noel to prepare the layout. Left: Editor-in-Chief, Marilyn Kearney, finishes typing those last minute articles.

Hard on the heels of their December presentation of Christmas in the Village Square, came tryouts in February. The Student Prince by Sigmund Romberg, co- directed by S.M. Judith and S.M. Evangela, starred Charles Deschenes as Prince Kar] and Rhonda Byers as the innkeeper's niece, Kathy, with a fine supporting cast of the combined clubs. In all performances the students experi- ence behind scenes work as well as footlight glory. Cooperation between students and direc- tors in hours of practice, taking directions, mak- ing suggestions, is the secret of Feehan’s success- aay productions. Our past performances in- cluded the 1967 Meet Me in St. Louis and the 1966 production of the memorable Camelot. Upper right: Endurance is the word B. Fallows and F.

Although it may seem an impossible task to keep all those books, maga- zines and pamphlets in order, a small group of twenty volunteer librarians arrange, classify, and in general, maintain order in the library. Modern equipment in audio-visual aides benefits students in all classes. The newly formed Audio- Visual Club has forty members who attended workshops conducted by Mr. John W. LaGarde. It is composed of sophomores and juniors who op- erate on a rotating volunteer basis during their study periods. $.M. Faith, the co-ordinator, has behedied members available during the entire school day. Book discussion includes books ranging from 1984 and Catcher in the Rye to Tess of the D’Ur- bervilles. Seniors Janet Daigle and Kateri Detellis had the opportunity not only to participate in the discussions but also to lead them. Book Clubs are held during school activity periods which gives the opportunity for discussion to more students. Keeping the card catalogue up to date is a painstaking part of library work. Sister Mary Faith checks with her experienced help Claudette Ouimet, Eileen Mournighan, Carolyn Lee, and Helen Turley. In the magazine room, Claudia Trepanier and Marcia Mitchell file the previous month’s issue of current magazines. Enjoying the paperback “cozy corner” are Cindy Sullivan and Mary Schreiver. Faithful circulation clerks, Carol Brennan and Christine Da- vignon check returned books with Sharon Spellman and Con- stance Jette. 45 Academic activities stimulate intellectual life.

This is just one of the anticipations for any Junior or Senior seeking admission into this society. Hard work and perseverance are the main qualifications for entrance into the Feehan Chap- ter of the National Honor Society. Chartered in 1964, the Society has become more than an honor- ary club. Members participate in the annual col- lege bowl, student-exchange programs with neigh- boring high schools and the Southeastern Massa- chusetts Association of National Honor Societies. To fulfill the requirement of service to others, the Society sponsors a tutoring program. Officers Tho- mas Brennan, President, Robin Malin, Vice Presi- dent, Kathleen Grimes, Secretary, and Ronald Gagnon, Treasurer, co-ordinate the Society's activ- ities with S.M. Angelica, moderator. Six Seniors also received letters of commendation from the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test. In this fast paced world it is important that people take the time to do their best and then share their knowledge with others.

Beginners may be stymied by learning the pieces and their varied move- ments while experienced fans concentrate on outsmarting their opponents. Checkmate is a remote idea for anyone who is well versed in the intricate plays. Debating is a quiet but strong organization which has brought recognition, victories, and trophies home to Feehan. Hours of painstak- ing research, card filing, writing, and polishing arguments fill the behind the scenes schedule of this club. Ability to argue either negative or affirmative convincingly helps the team to keep a high record of triumphs. Upper left: Checkmate! Chess enthusiasts are Michael F. Zito, and Francis Detellis.

Natural talent and the skillful teaching of technique have made this year a profitable one for the Art Club. Through this club many students who are not able to fit Art into their schedules but who are artistically in- clined may join the club to learn more about painting, modeling and designing. $.M. Donna moderator, has introduced many new media to the club. This year the club has been more widely publicized through the Spring Arts Festival sponsored by the Art, Music, Home Economics, and English Departments.

In the spirit of cooperation and love, the Sodali- ty of Our Lady, with their new moderator, Sister Mary Philomena, and Prefect Kathleen Lennox has endeavored to bring its members to a closer union with God and Mary. Beginning as a provi- sional member in the Sophomore year, any girl may join and finally participate as an active mem- ber in the Junior year. Once again, this year has been a profitable one. Thanksgiving baskets pre- pared by the twenty members tye the help of the student body, were offered at a Mass in the Feehan auditorium in November. At Christmas, the group entertained with carols and gifts at sev- eral nursing homes in the Attleboro area. High- lighting the social program of the school year is the annual Father-Daughter Dance.

In response to the demand of our age for technical knowledge and skill, Feehan’s Science and Math De- partments sponsor science and math clubs. Both clubs ‘encourage diversity of interest by experiementing in many aiterent phases of science or math. Each mem- ber of both departments is involved in the clubs on a rotating basis, thus providing a broad sampling of cclen tific fields. Members of the Science Club partici- pate in the school science fair, attend lectures, visit museums, and sponsor speakers in scientific professions who address the whole student body. The Math Club participates in state, county, and diocesan math meets. This small but dedicated group of students has brought recognition to the school through their extraordinary performance. Flashback photographers, Leo Meunier, David Birch, and Tho- mas Maguire, not only took all the candid pictures, but also developed and printed them. i ee mt i 1 Preparing for Diocesan Math Tournament meet are Merrill Hast- ings, Peter Murphy, Leo Clark, and James Grenier.

Graduation is a goal reached and a step to the future. Pomp and Circumstance for us? After four years of looking forward, it is now time to start looking back. Everyone tries to tell us that Graduation is a beginning, but we know that it is really an end. Were our Freshmen days really so wonderful? Did we really act so silly as Sophs? Our Junior days sped by until Se- nior year. Our prom, the last football game, retreat, decisions, acceptances from colleges, and after-school jobs filled our days. But, we really are not leaving for good, just a vacation. We will be back in September as usual, in spirit, at least. UPPER RIGHT: Bishop Connelly, assisted by Rev. J.

Courage in the face of death, an un- quenchable loyalty to Feehan charac- terized Albert Dupont, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lorenzo Dupont of Attleboro, who died on February 7, 1968 after a long struggle with illness. Stricken mid-way in his freshman year, Al kept up his studies by home teaching of the Sisters, his spirit by keeping in touch with his classmates and his hopes by looking forward to re- turning. All Feehanities will remember Al for his outstanding Feehan spirit and pray that his brave spirit may rest in the peace of Christ.

The students’ choice was An- thony Gazzola for President, the driving force behind our Student Council and an inspiration to all four classes. Ver- satile Kateri Detellis, Recording Secretary, and outgoing Kathleen Grimes, Corresponding Secretary, are whole- heart ed supporters of Feehan activities. Vice President Thomas Brennan, a class officer since Freshman year, and Treasurer Charles Deschenes, an all-round participant in athletics and dramatics, can be found every morning in the Student Council room checking Parking Permits and the Council's financial status.

With the re-election of William Flanagan, class Presi- dent, the Seniors started their last year at Feehan antici- pating coming events. Under Bill's persevering leadership, Senior dreams became a reality. Vice-President William Morse, proud of his North Easton heritage, is well known for his initiative in trying to make us Number One. Behind- the-scenes worker, Kathryn Falzone, Secretary, can al- ways be found doing her best for Feehan. Our vivacious Treasurer, Mary Ellen Donnelly, has exerted energy in or- ganizing senior social events. Through their untiring ef- forts, our senior year was a memorable one. William J. Flanagan William J. Morse Kathryn Falzone Mary Ellen Donnelly What is William Flanagan reading to Mary Ellen Donnelly, William Morse, and Kath- ryn Falzone that is so funny? Sp ie 65 Mary V.

Fall raced by—Winter was November thirteenth is sure a far cry from De- cember twenty-first, the official first day of winter. Suddenly, Feehan students appeared on the scene wearing scarves, gloves, and heavy coats, instead Nancy L. Araujo John W. Baldwin of the typical fall jacket or sweater. Classes were second in our thoughts as we imagined ourselves shoveling driveways, at football practice in the snow, walking home with no boots, driving on Route 95 without snow tires, and maybe even get- ting out of school early. But all our hopes and fears were to no avail—the snow was only two inches deep and melting fast. Robert P. Beauchaine Stephen F. Beaulieu Judith A. Bielecki David P. Birch Eileen M. Bleau George J.

Dulude Social participation insures Academically settled, with Freshman days far behind, we Sophomores were now able to concentrate on the social aspects of Feehan life. We knew that proms and semi-formals were reserved for upperclassmen, our social functions were limited, and that the boys would never socialize. Nevertheless, we sup- ported every available social event: victory dances, musical and dramatic productions and the Freshman-Sophomore Hop. Imported Japanese Hostesses for the 1966 Junior Prom were Mary Alice Mulligan, Donna Ney, Jean- ine Valade, Maureen Nolan, Maureen O’Brien, Nan- cy Varone, Kathleen Grimes, Mary Jane Sumner, Sharon Spellman, and Donna Joubert. 70 Susan E.

The Student Council proclaimed it the “Band Building Year.” During this year we learned the fundamentals of marching and peppy music, and we saw the formation of a twirling corps. The student body helped out by selling hairbands, counting beans in S. M. Patricia Ann’s jar or doing just anything for new uniforms and instruments. The climax of all our efforts came the following autumn as we _ proudly donned our new uniforms for the first football game. Finally, the half-time was ours as we marched on to the field, making another “Feehan First.” Marilyn J. Kearney Maureen A. Kelly Nancy E. Kettel Thomas E. Krzyzek Roberta F.

We look to the cafeteria for our favorite enter- tainments, one of which might be lunch. Lunches are anything from S. M. Virginia’s candy, Henry’s creations, to the meager portions of the “Metracal for Lunch Bunch.” “Who went with Who, where?” or “Gee, that test was impossible!” might be overheard. Other diversions may range from a birthday party to an occasional dessert rally. Amid the confusion of lunch lines, impatient students, boisterous chatter, lunch somehow is eaten.

The long awaited ring symbolized all our hard work and perseverance in our first three years at Feehan. As seniors, it was up to us to provide the leadership in sanctity, sports- manship and scholarship which had been in- stilled in us by the example of our upperclass- men. We hope we have passed on these quali- ties to our Freshmen, Sophomores and Juniors. Ann M. Nolan Charles J. Nolan Dennis P. Nolan Maureen A.

Next year we will cheer for the team as alumni, but not as a class, and the cheerleaders, members of the band and twirling corps will be sideline spectators in future years. Each football player was relieved that the drudgery of daily prac- tice would be discontinued, but saddened because he might never play again after Turkey Day.

Hours, days, weeks, months later, after brain- storming, designing, rewriting, typing and above all keeping on, we know what the real Feehan spirit of ’68 is. It is more than the person who can yell the loudest at a winning football game, the student who attends a club meeting the day the yearbook picture is taken, or the eight to two o'clock sponge who soaks up glory but never con- tributes to Feehan’s welfare. Our four years have made us realize that a unified student body is one which is not self-spirited but school spirited. We inherited the responsibility of promoting spirit, and we ask the class of 1969 to improve it. We will never be able to thank Sister Mary Enda, R.S.M. enough for being our moderator, referee, and literary critic. Our business depart- ment was kept financially stable through the dili- gence of Sister Barbara Marie. For his invaluable professional assistance, we wish to thank Mr. Douglas Kirwin, representative of the American Yearbook Company. Athletically, the FLASH- BACK would be incomplete without contributions from Mr. Frank Adams and Mrs. Yolande Murphy of the Attleboro Sun; Mr. Terry Martin of the North Attleboro Chronicle; and Mr. Ellis Morris of the Pawtucket Times. We thank The Camera Shop for never failing us in our picture needs. Most of all we wish to thank our parents, the fac- ulty, our fellow classmates, and underclassmen for their never-ending support. | 92 Dreams of the future, memories of the past, blend in the eyes of graduates, William Flanagan, Mary Alice McLaughlin, and Kathleen Lang. 7 7 ae a mei in jit ( 1 t¢ Wit” , - wid a� ¢ a si hf , re hs iy Pe. e Pr i} _ eee i!
