“Any English class today?” echos down the locker line as students adjust to their English independent study periods. There are no “typical” English classes at Feehan. Day-to-day activities range from public speaking to art illustrations of medieval times. S.M. Evangela, Mr. Cote and Mr. Reynolds enjoy the enthusiastic response of the underclassmen and their responsible acceptance of new opportunities for independent research and study. Senior English teachers, S. M. Faith, S. M. Elizabeth, S. M. Noel, and S. M. Enda, put the finishing touches on four years of stimulating English courses. English, a true senior favorite, offers students movies, class trips, and activities appealing to a variety of interests. The Readak course, taught by S. M. Evangela increases the participants’ vocabulary, reading speed, and comprehension. One of the outstanding field trips of the year brought English students to the Avon theatre in Providence for a special showing of “Romeo and Juliet,” one of the season’s most enjoyable movies. On January 24, the National Theatre Company enchanted the Feehan audience with a professional presentation of George Bernard Shaw’s “Androcles and the Lion.” Of course, grammar, vocabulary, composition, and long-range papers constitute the bulk of our English classes, but students have found that an occasional aside rekindles their creativity. 11

Science — Academic And Domestic Where at Feehan could a person stand in the corridor and, at one time, scent the aroma of freshly baked cookies, the pungent odor of burning sulfur, and the all too familiar scent of formaldehyde? On the third floor, of course, in the vicinity of the Home Economics and science laboratories. In the Home Economics department, Sister M. Claude and Mrs. Schensnol teach the rudiments of cooking, sewing and home management to the girls while the boys acquire culinary skills in the ever popular chef's course.
