let it begin with athletics... Not just with a victory For life is not always victorious, But with the spirit, With the pride and determination Which makes life worth living And a game worth playing, Let it begin with football — With the crashing of helmets And the screaming of loyal fans All melting into an unbeatable force. Let it begin with basketball — In a gym filled with the echo of bouncing balls And the screams of emotion-filled fans. Let it begin with baseball, track and golf— With the cracking of bats, Panting of sprinters, And the poetic motion of the golfer. So let it begin with these sports And continue into life, Into the greatest competition of them all, One in which there are no time-outs For life is also a game, A game filled with penalties and bad breaks, But it can also be victorious If it begins with the pride, With the confidence, spirit and determination Which makes any team a winner And every person a success. 22

through development of fine, applied arts Cups of flour, purple paint, and a shiny trumpet provided a unique still life portrait of practical and fine arts curriculum. Mrs. Schensnol presented stu- dents in Home Economics and Management Classes with essential techniques in homemaking’s many aspects. Increasing peanut-butter and jelly sandwich skills, Boy’s Chef gourmets mastered recipes. Sister Veronica’s Art I and II classes created a stimu- lating atmosphere in which students experimented in exciting art mediums. Practical experience with technical skills of Mechanical Drawing prepared students for future careers. Two music courses contributed to Feehan’s har- mony this year. General Music stressing instrumen- tation, singing, theory and appreciation comple- mented by Chorus, emphasizing techniques, provided and promoted successful musical events under Sister Evangela’s direction. Pencil sketching provides an expressive art medium for William Bolger, Melissa Patinaude, and Richard Cash. Final preparations are made for dress stitching by Paula St. Pierre in Home Economics class. “Galloping gourmets” Richard Clark, Paul LaPierre, Thomas Sibilia and Daniel Hill perfect culinary skills under Mrs. Schens- nol’s expert guidance. 21

united effort makes homecoming a success All preseason forecasts of bottom place for the Shamrocks were belied by every pass, kick, and touchdown of the 1970 team. Coupled with Coach Paul O‘Boy’s knowledge and experience, team determination showed that the Feehan eleven could make the top half of the Bristol County League. Starting off with a thrilling 14-0 win over Taunton, the Shamrocks gave their spirited sup- porters a taste of what was to come. After tying powerful Durfee 8-8, they bounced back to beat Fairhaven 21-0 in a non-league tilt and smashed Coyle 35-0 at the Homecoming game. Victory on the field was matched with the appreciation of the student body displayed in the beautiful floats completed after days and nights of labor, the talent displayed at the half-time special, and the alumni dance held that evening. Each student having given so much of himself to make homecoming a great Feehan first, the momentum of spirit carried through to the season’s end. Bowing only to Attle- boro in a driving snowstorm and to New Bedford High, the 1970 Shamrocks topped Bishop Stang in a 7-6 end of season game. Determination and hard work were combined by the juniors to produce their Homecoming float. Displaying pride and satisfaction in the Freshman float is at- tendant Deborah Temple along with Lois Wims, Betty Lou LeBlanc, Donna Stanley, Michele Lennartz, and Maureen Rear- don. Great offensive action is displayed by Louis Sousa and Timothy Shockro in the game against Attleboro. Sharing a moment of mixed emotions after a close play are Ann Pierce, Nancy Dwyer, and Margaret Gautieri. 23
