Spring releases a new vitality to Feehan’s sports. Encompassed in this new thrust of energy is our girl’s softball team.

Each girl equipped with skill and determination, claimed victories over Seekonk, St. Anthony’s, Bay view and New Bedford. Coaching for this team is done by Mrs. Elaine Condon. Her knowledge of the game, taught the girls to strive for victory but to always accept the reality of defeat.

Baseball springs into action Bats, balls, gloves, hit and run, steal, a bullpen and a mound all are terms used in that all-Ameri- can game called baseball. This year the diamond will be studded with veterans like Ray- mond Sullivan, third baseman David Deschenes, first baseman Glen Medas and outfielder David McLear. Combining the senior skills with the hustle of under classmen should provide Coach Paul O’Boy with a balanced team that will bring Feehan back to baseball prominence.

From the loneliness of the long distance runner to the precise coordination of a championship relay team, track has something for everyone. Drawing talent from people is a special skill in which Coach Perkoski excels. He instills a feeling of importance in everyone who works at his job. This year’s team with only three returning seniors will be depen- dent on help from the under- classmen. Co-Captain Peter Rol- lins could close his career as the last B.C.C. 220 Champion. Co- Captain Phill LaPorte will be striding hard to break his person- al and school best 9:54 two miles. This year each member of the team must push to break his own record, for an all out effort is needed for success.
