Spirit of 68 in... » 5 5 3 + ZS : ACADEMICS Heart transplants in South Africa; the USA and Russia are a little closer to the moon; the ‘Boston Red Sox made it to the World Series. 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?

work together. 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.
