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.

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.
