BEYOND A DREAM Not so long ago we saw our target in the distance, Together, aiming and firing, we hit bull’s eye, we were successful. Content as infants with bottles, we aimed no higher; “we” changed to singular “he’s, se ss Alone, individuals strove for lone goals; but OUR goals remained untouched yet shared a co mmon dream, —UNITY— Like dandelions, we entered our future waiting for a playful breeze to set petals free. Like the lilting starlets, unaware of our fate, we placed our trust in visions beyond a dream. We were experiencing new feelings and realizations: feelings of peace and responsibility, accompanied by realizations of trust and friendship. How we accepted these challenges and used this knowledge helped us discover our world... BEYOND A DREAM With noisemakers and loud shouts Juniors give it all they’ve got striving for the Spirit Crown at pre-Attleboro game rally. Jubilant emotions trigger tears, as Susan Don- nelly begins her reign as Homecoming Queen. Morning greeted with smiles, yawns Buses pulled up, stumbling students disembarked and a Feehan day dawned. Locker combinations clumsily twirled brought avalanches of books upon unsuspecting victims, forcing them to face the long day. Students, in- conspicuously sitting on locker floors tripping passersby, squeezed in last minute homework. Helping hands were extended, secrets shared and weekend dates planned, bulletin board news passed on. Suddenly, the bell rang, Feehan corridors came alive with smiles and chatter, as students ran off to their first period experiences. Discussing Feehan’s chances to “Walk on Attle- boro”, Thomas Lynch reassures hoop-fans Sandra Morrissey and Kathy Gauteri. Contemplating the essence of man’s existence, Henry McDeed appropriately “is”. Raising an interesting point during homeroom period, Student Council representative, Mark Traversi, asks for a response as Gary Zilch reluc- tantly awakes. Explaining some of the basic concepts of higher mathematics, John McGee tries to explain com- plicated proofs logically in Introductory Analysis. Swinging open another Feehan day, Timothy Greenwood camouflages morning blahs in the “post-bell pandemonium.” “You can do it”, emphasizes Brother Morris Mercier as he initiates operation “Can Do” col- lecting canned goods for Appalachia. Starring in “Hair”, ‘“Purlie”, “Superstar,” and “Godspell” in The Gospel According To. . . are Lorice Stevens and George Tipton at our March assembly. Enjoying their free minutes between classes, Priscilla Ferland, Lorrie Demers and Sue Car- valho take a breather while rambling through busy corridors. Pizza, “Godspell,” Feehan jigsaw Running down halls to make classes, “Kerry Dog”, tomato soup, and jitter- bugging to “Sweet Talking Guy” in the cafeteria were all parts of that giant jigsaw called Feehan assemblies. Spirit days, and plain old fun and good times made Feehan a great place in which to spend six hours. Most Feehanites gave much more. Feehan was a place of paradoxes. Cafeteria chaos contrasted with the silent halls of evening meet- ings, the antics of a class. party com- pared with the seriousness of a math meet, made Feehan not only a build- ing but something alive with a vivid personality. Lunch, a welcome break from morning classes, gives freshmen Carolyne Handrigan and Mary Anne Theroux food and relaxation. Jitter-bugging at lunch period, William Driscoll and Susan Durant draw a crowd, typical of “Greaser Day.” Outside the Feehan hustle-bustle, mascot Kerry- Dog longs for 2:00 and friendly frolics.

Quiet halls were trans- formed into one huge noisy traffic jam as Feehanites rushed to their buses. But to many club and team members, the best part of the day was just begin- ning. No one could truly describe that wonderful feeling one got just joking with team mates in the locker rooms before running out to do calisthenics in the brisk cold air. Nor could anyone recreate that electric sensation of to- getherness achieved while rolling out immense spirit signs with a friend or working together in after-school inter- est courses such as decoupage classes, weekly medical seminars at Foxboro. This was what Feehan was and what Feehan is all about. Employing cake decorating techniques learned in Mrs. Schensnol’s interest course, Carolyn Blythe displays her creative cooking talents. gece wales Eat a eMC om. Rallies keep “big greens” goin At one o’clock on a Friday after- noon, Feehanites marched to the gym for one of the Spirit Committee’s fa- mous rallies. Energy, enthusiasm, and above all, active participation of all students were great demonstrations of Feehan vivacity. Hobbling amid hopeful fans, Robert Zachman typifies the perseverance of the 72 “crutch bunch” football squad. Manifesting curiosity are Roger Surprenant, Gary Schmidt, Carol Spenser, Sheila Theriault, Anita VanLeeuween, Mary Theroux, and Robert Welch. “Yll make you an offer you can’t refuse” warns “god-father” Michael Sousa, ready for some ac- tion at the Halloween dance. “Coolest cop in town” is Debra Hebert’s boast at Feehan’s Halloween dance while Lejuan Brantly keeps his distance from the patrolling officer. Signs of the time, courtesy of the Spirit Com- mittee, continually decorated corridor walls like this one in support of the football team. 10 Zs i lees enon Unusual activities spark interest Involvement, a big word, did big things and extended to area commu- nities. Teachers and students partici- pated in the March of Dimes walk- athon. Activities scheduled throughout the year stimulated student interest. Homecoming week with floats, “Give- a-Damn” week with “Sock-em” day and Appreciation for Life week en- couraged class discussions. Results— unity which made efforts worthwhile. Presenting the Thanksgiving game “Most Valu- able Player’ football award to Robert Robillard is Mr. Paul O’Boy. Staring in disbelief at a disputed call by the ref- erees are cheerleaders Mary Beth Ralph, Nancy Parker, Barbara MacLeod, Diane Casale, Sandra Copley, Jean Berg and faculty Sister Elizabeth McAuliffe, Sister Patricia Combies, Sister Mary Sheila and Sister Mary Josepha at the Case bas- ketball game. iB Academics . . Beyond a Dream He formed a picture in his mind, mixed his colors, and painted his future. It was a bright picture—in a corner was the universe revealed in a simple physics class; in another corner— discovery of oneself in religion or biology or literature. Looking closely, you saw sequins stuck in the paint— one never forgotten line from Shakespeare; another, a school trip to 1776; yet another, the satisfaction of conquering a math problem. Pull back in retrospect, get the whole idea, feeling. . . it was academics that formed his future. Academics, that palette of late nights, hard work, laughter, sharing. Academics, that special song— the hum of a buzz-saw, sing-song of speech class, melodious chatter of French. Academics was sharing. There, he’s done it. He’s painted his picture, his future, and we all have to do it— as we LOOK BEYOND A DREAM. Pondering Zen Buddhism in religion are Steven Downarowicz, Valery Kapolchok, Nancy Ed- wards, Sheila Chilli, Daniel Kerrins, James Foley, and Christopher Copley, “What ever is a joule?” Lee Ann Beaulieu is tem- porarily stumped as she ponders problems of force and momentum in Physics class. Accurately figuring the solution of the algebraic quadratic formula are freshmen honor math stu- dents Julie Zachman, David Benoit, Christine Kelly and Karen Tatro. ei ee Spy ates Enjoying team-taught religion class, Michael McKay, Mary Morin, Cynthia Amesbury partici- pate in Sisters Elizabeth and Theresa’s projects. Among volunteer students sharing laughter at the Nazareth Hall School, Connie Bradshaw dis- covers there is more in a world with happy people. “You can have a bite if you want.” Junior, Cindy McAlice finds fulfillment in assisting special edu- cation students at Nazareth Hall. 14 Religious experience revives Feehan “Nation shall not lift sword against nation, and neither shall they learn war any more.” Theology at Feehan made it evident that Christian ideals have a place in today’s world. Religion classes offered something for everyone; all helped the student find his own place in the Christian lifestream. Reli- gious curriculum included such courses as Revelation I and II for Freshmen and Sophomores; elective courses ranged from philosophy to scripture for upperclassmen. “Day by Day”, Thanksgiving baskets, visits to Naza- reth Hall, synagogues and overnight retreats splashed the palette of Feehan life with added color. Father Brian Harrington’s liturgies gave personal meaning to the Masses. Religious cele- brations and classes have always been a special segment of Feehanites’ con- tinual growth. Celebrating the Mass is Reverend Brian Harring- ton as the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ is shared with Pamela Wessman. Sacrificial offerings of bread and wine, resting by the auditorium entrance reflect the dignity and solemnity of the Mass. oe be seth he My Med oye 4 £ % Ce Before giving his students an independent as- signment, Mr. Christopher Servant explains the basics of creative writing. “Journalism isn’t all writing”, laughs Barbara Joyce, James Williams, Barry Allen, and fellow Sausages in their advertisement for waffles. Studying Homer’s Odyssey, freshmen Carol Moore and Christine Kelly explain Penelope’s tapestry. Nancy Lee shows a collage. 16 English department ‘aps students’ creative talents. ” “To sleep, perchance to dream . But nobody’s sleeping in Feehan’s English classes. Literature became the foundation for all English studies this year, with emphasis placed more on style and purpose rather than on sur- face content. The poverty and the cor- ruption in politics of Dickens’ time and the generation gap of Shakespeare are paralleled with the slums, the Water- gate affair, and the Woodstock genera- tion of today. Juniors and Seniors saw these issues exemplified in the movie version of “Hamlet”. Seniors study Andy Warhol and Van Gogh in the “Art and Man” magazine and view the images of man found in modern world literature. An experimental course in American Studies joined Sophomore English and History classes taught by both depart- ments. Sophomore Honors students developed “Me” books illustrated by audio-visual materials. Through the combined efforts of all English classes, Feehan’s first news sheet was initiated. A weekly publica- tion written by students for students, this school project encouraged future writers to express their feelings on such subjects as “Who’s Who” and fads and fashion at Feehan. Junior classes displayed their hidden acting talents in their video-tape film- ing of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. With Macbeth as Macbath and King Dun- can as Dunkin Donuts, the junior thes- pians showed the lighter side of Eliza- bethian tragedy. All aspects of the English classes help pupils to become self-discoverers along the road to self-expression through independent thinking. Exploring their aspects of English, sophomores Nancy Giovani and Marie Chabot combine tal- ents to find the right words to go with their origi- nal music for a “Me” book. Collage is the best way to express an opinion and Robin Gauthier seems to be doing a good job ex- plaining her artwork on the “Westering Spirit”. Social Studies relate world to Feehanites Where do pilgrims, wars, presidents, ships, crusades, labor disputes and Mr. Neil Lowe’s 4 propos comments come together? In social studies, of course. The underclassmen study World and American History while the up- perclassmen were offered two unique contemporary courses, 20th Century America and Isms. Team teaching, another academic Feehan First, introduced Sister Patricia Combies and Mr. Neil Loew bringing their cumulative knowledge to the fin- gertips of any willing student. “No we were in Germany then, not Vietnam!” Mr. Neil Loew injects a little humor into his Sophomore American history class. Historians Mr. Gerald Cunniff and Mr. Peter Galligan call in scientist Mr. John Perkoski for mechanical aid. Catching up on current events during a study, Freshmen Henry Neveux, Edward Garlick, and Eric Mair share a peaceful moment. 18 Concentrating on Mr. Neil Loew’s explanation of a major problem concerning our nation, Jo- seph Monast, Barbara Joyce, Mary Plante, Christine Aussant, Helen Doyle, and Tracy McKay prepare to defend their own points of view in their discussion in the 20th Century America class. “I wish someone would invent a history course with no notes” Senior Jeanne Melanson appears engrossed in Mr. Neil Loew’s 20th Century America class. Presenting both sides of the question, Mr. An- thony Gazzola listens to his Isms class discuss communism. 19 Language Dept. revamps international spectrum “a . “Buenos Dias” and ““Bonjour”’ ac- | wg quired new perspective in a renovated . W language program highlighted with it ; ‘ three new teachers. “Grammatical skills were strongly emphasized,” sighed first and second year students. Now, however, “life” correlated a gen- uine interest in foreign culture shedd- ing an antiquated Latin view. Depart- ment head, Sister Mary Sheila, enthusiastically appraised new faculty member, Monsieur Donald Costa’s forceful teaching technique in which “avoir and “étre’” were conjugated thoroughly. Mr. Costa greeted France during February and afterwards shared many humorous experiences acknowledging a “culture shock” with his students. Sister Sheila journeyed to Quebec City this spring accenting classroom studies with firsthand experience. One French IV class jumped the gun and enjoyed “un petit dejeuner” complete with camambert, brie, and goat’s milk cheese, fruit, sweet rolls and jams, cof- fee and hot chocolate; smoked goose liver and petit fours were added attractions. Spanish study welcomed instructors Sister Pauline Lebel and Mr. Stephen Rotondo who concentrated upon “be- coming Spanish”. Built-in advantages providing native flavor were Gladys Riera from Cuba, and Bishop Feehan’s Honduranian exchange student, Felipe Dabdoub, who, at times, even enlight- ened the teachers. In December, Amer- ican festivities were transformed by us- ing Mexican customs. Christmas pifiatas, handcrafted by the fourth year class, mystified blindfolded Don Qui- xotes who had as much luck slaying the papier maché dodgers as that man from La Mancha had encountering windmills. Truly, international dreams glimpsed reality in 1973. Reflecting a genuine interest in French culture through literature, Doreen Surprenant translates as instructor Sister Mary Sheila helps enthusiastically. Christmas at Feehan, Latin-American style, fea- tures candy filled pifiatas made by Spanish IV students. The jolly Santa Claus pifiata was con- structed by Kathy Sedlak, Barbara Joyce and Kathleen Poholek. 20 hanes LE ALIN Frenchwomen Georgiana Smith, Karen Benoit, and Susan Cunningham enjoy a French break- fast being served by Nancy Parker. “7 Que pasa?” asks Mr. Stephen Rotondo stimu- lating a Spanish conversation. Ready with the Spanish translation is Darlene VanDenBerghe, while Cynthia Parente is mov- ing ahead. 2) Mathematics adopts free sequence Broadening students experience, mathematics coordinator Sister Leona Misto devised flexible course selec- tions. Algebra 2 could be studied fresh- man year with Modern Introductory Analysis selected in the sophomore schedule; both courses were formally upper class subjects. Analytic Geometry and Trigonometry was divided into two semesters, aimed at achieving greater depth and understanding. A new di- mension unravelled as Creative Math was introduced, geared to the inter- ested rather than the mathematically inclined. Determining sequential summation enthralls Stephen Diaz in Modern Introductory Analysis class. “Tt don’t know the scientific name—we always called them ‘string things.’”” Mary Lou Petti and Christine Aussant explain their Math project on ruled surface to Juniors Jane Olivera, Michelle Lennartz, and John McGee. 22 Business begins work-study program Offering varied practical experience, a work-study program has been initiated by Business Department head Sister M. Kilian. Junior and Senior students benefit from on the job training in nearby community corporations such as Swanks. Filing, typing, and assistant secretarial jobs are provided from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Participating Feehan students make up missed school work independently, de- veloping maturity and responsibility as end-products of their efforts. Computing federal spending challenges Diane Casale to perfect her skills. Hand poised over the keyboard, Lynda Ryng hesitates, hoping the total to be correct. Sister M. Kilian relates the do’s and don’ts of business regulations while Mary Barrows views the lighter side. 23 Unique experiences spark scientific students’ discovery Exploring the realms of physics, bi- ology, physiology and chemistry, the science department has innovated sev- eral exciting changes. Though science remains a discipline that is rooted in the centuries, Feehanites have this year viewed open-heart surgery, partici- pated in night astronomy observations, dissected a fetal pig, and took part in the now established Project Physics course. Sr. Rose Angela McLellan heads the team of instructors. Perhaps because of the challenging labs and ex- periments, the investigations into the intricacies of human life, and the good humor and guidance of the science de- partment, Feehan students will be in- spired to continue in science. Temperature rises as Mr. Santanastaso sleuths unexpected results in a chemical comparison. Displaying a gamut of emotions, victim Kathi Arenburg is blood typed by Sue Corbeil. 24 Posing a simple and logical solution to a velocity problem is Steve Murphy, gesturing and smiling his support, as John Iwuc momentarily abandons English for science. Tissue observations remain incomplete while Kathy Sedlak quietly previews coming events. oer tad bs o 0) RIE Ghr if eRe thr: fe teas ' 25 Applicable courses complete curriculum Home Economic classes and the shop course gave students a chance to mobilize their hobbies and interests into the curriculum for valuable expe- rience and credit. These students learned to get one step ahead of the game. In addition they learned to bud- get their expenses, tell the difference between fabrics and gained other valu- able, helpful, household hints. The boys’ chef class exhibited their talents preparing a delightful lunch for the Bishop when he visited the Religion department early in the year. In shop class, text books were re- placed by useful tools associating those interested in carpentry and construc- tion with the fundamentals of math and science connected to related principles. Both of these courses successfully brought education to the everyday lives of the students and made learning a relevant experience. Smiling with satisfaction, the job almost com- plete, Philip Eighmy sands his self constructed book case. 26 Hurrying to finish her Home Ec project is Diane Fougere, while Susan Stapleton lends moral support. “Professionally speaking—let the girls finish the dishes next period,” plots Paul Rhilinger. YS SNP ae bee Artists explore realm of color Green, purple, and orange paint may not turn everybody on, but art lovers really find themselves in Sister Veronica’s art classes. In still-lifes and abstract Mondrian designs, the fine arts flourish at Feehan. Pastel drawings of New England autumn and mixed- media sketches of pairs shown regu- larly in the display case demonstrated to students and faculty alike Bishop Feehan’s most unheralded talents. Art classes, under the direction of Sister M. Veronica Fay, explored color and de- sign with poster paint, charcoal, water- color and many different methods. In April students got a chance to exhibit their work at the annual art festival. T-Bars and large brown folders are familiar sights in the corridors as Me- chanical Drawing pupils, under the watchful eye of Sister Veronica, prac- ticed precision drawing, preparing them for careers in engineering and architecture. Carefully Donald Demers measures an angle of a prospective masterpiece. “A pear is a pear is a pear”, declares David Keane as he transfers the image to paper. 27 28 Athletics .. . Beyond a dream Before a game lockers are the source of nervous excitement. Frustration mounts with: a torn sneaker lace, a misplaced sock, a ripped uniform a forgotten game plan, or a personality clash. Yet inside that room there lies something that is unconquerable—the feeling of PRIDE. Creating a united force in every athlete, we have become a harder team to defeat. This pride fills an athlete with confidence in himself and his teammates. Thus nervousness ends, game plans are remembered, socks are shared, laces are replaced, and clashes end in handshakes. Victory or defeat does not end there. It continues on with us through life. We acquire more than skills and knowledge of sports. We learn of life and see the way life could be BEYOND A DREAM. Looking as though he has fallen asleep Dennis Pombriant soars over the high jump again. Definitely having fallen asleep, Susan Pollis rests a moment before competition on the girl’s track team. “General” Mr. Paul O’Boy, leads part of his bat- talions, Ronald Lemonde, William Driscoll, Mark Cuddy and David Rixon into the fray. 29 Games, exercises train students for healthy future Though lacking the usual equip- ment, physical education classes en- gage in games of Philadelphia kick, wiffle ball, and hockey, crab style, through the imagination of Mr. An- thony Gazzola, Mr. Gerald Gunniff, and Mrs. Elaine Condon, girls’ instruc- tor. When spring comes, physical edu- cation classes move outside and play soccer, soft ball, or run the track. Dressed in green shorts, a pair of snea- kers, and white shirts, students are given a chance to win the President’s Physical Fitness Award, as well as achieving personal satisfaction and having fun at the same time. For another gym class softball game, Mrs. Con- don readies the starting roster. Brian Walsh, Stephen Almeida, Kevin O’Coin, and John Johnston struggle to get that ball. 30 Relaxing in the whirlpool, Paul Deschenes re- lieves aches and pains of daily football practice. ee ed Re a ceadiel sa agentes psa gecntnendpcapneageestien Ee nana Concentrating, Scott Gunning aims for the flag, then eagerly watches the ball in flight.

Swinging their way, Shamrocks come out tops Coached by Mr. Neil Loew, the golf team enjoyed its most prosperous sea- son ever. Senior, Scott Gunning, be- sides excelling in regular league meets also played in tournaments as distant as California and Florida. Scott has caught the eye of many college golf scouts in the area. The team boasts a 15-1-1 record and such achievements as second in their league, third in Southeastern Massa- chusetts only falling behind Barnstable and New Bedford, as well as being champions of the Northeastern Divi- sion of the Southeastern Massachusetts Scholastic League. Practice at Heather Hill golf course entails determination, long hours of concentration, never ending work on form and putting. Coach Loew is looking forward to as good if not a better season for ’73. Up and over, Susan Pollis knows in this position, “what goes up must come down.” Determined Christine Bergh moves ahead of her Added BayView opponent. at-track-tion— spring fever strikes girls Once again the girls proved themselves worthy in athletic competition. Tues- day and Thursday practices were con- ducted by Mrs. Elaine Condon and Sister Rose Angela. But even more, success can be attributed to extra prac- tice hours and the all out effort of the team, plus natural ability. Ranging from the broad jump to the dashes to the mile, the girls’ enthusiasm and team spirit came through. Susan Pombriant drives forward crucial inches in the broad jump.

Practice started the second Monday of March with fifty-five boys out for the team. This number diminished to thirty-five as hard practice eliminated many. The record of four wins, five losses was evaluated as a good season in the difficult Bristol County League. Next se ason, besides being in a new league, many experienced players will return in weight events and distance running. Two new events, the javelin and pole vaulting, will spread the team thin, but give more boys, more ways in which to show talent.

New coach... new season... new ballgame . Through the experience and en- thusiasm of new coach, Sister Mar- garet Salisbury, the girls’ team took to the playing field and usually came off victorious. Despite the ef- forts of long time regulars, many rookie underclassmen, and the team’s exuberant expectations, this year was a year for gaining experi- ence and gathering hopes for sea- sons to come. Practices were started off by running a mile; then it was skill drills consisting of throwing, catching, and batting. The girls’ four wins to three loses is an accurate recording of game standings but does not by any means record the greatness of their spirit. Unfortu- nately the “butterflies” numbered too many and led to numerous early-game errors. Softball team, front row: Karen Benoit, Christine Basile, Kathy McLear, Mary-Lou Petti, Kathleen Byrnes, Diane Larocque, Maureen Reardon; back row: Cynthis McAlice, Nancy Courtemache, Kerry Lee, Lori Miller, Nancy Carlos, Sandra Copley, Deborah Gorman Ann Kelley, Mary Paquin, Coach Sister Margaret Salisbury. The games took place during the months of March, April, May, and June. Small but mighty, junior Cynthia McAlice gets ready to smack that ball over and beyond the outfielders. With graceful ease, Kathleen Byrnes throws in strike number three retiring the sides in the ninth inning, making it a shamrock victory. 34 Baseball—our Packed with power and speed, senior Joseph Bat gripped, feet planted, Stephen Murphy sends Monast hurls another strike toward home plate. __ the ball out of the opponents reach. forgotten sport Few spectators mark Feehan’s baseball season. Late in March, the season started with twenty-five boys out for the team under the lead- ership of Coach Gerald Cunniff. Shamrocks tallied a record of eight wins and eleven losses for their final season in the Bristol County League. Although next season Coach Cunniff can look forward to many returning lettermen, many key posi- tions will be open. Several untested pitchers will be given a chance to prove themselves. Such potential, backed by student support, could provide the ingredients necessary for a winning season.

When school started, the real work began; practice daily, sign making, rally planning, kept every cheerleader busy from September to March. Besides cheering for football and basketball teams, the girls entered competitions of their own. Already two trphies have been brought home, mak- ing all the bumps and bruises worth- while. Head cheerleader was Marybeth Ralph, moderator, Sister Mary Jo- sepha Haskins. Greeting a victorious team, cheerleaders, Sandra Copley and Marybeth Ralph lead fans in a “We knew you could do it” cheer. Making her last football game her best, senior Lois Laverdure cheers at homecoming.

Injury plagued team fights on Determination, will to win despite the number of players in plaster casts, marked this year’s football team. From the start, injuries were so many that no one played the same position all sea- son. Often the same players had to play both offense and defense. Practice began with double sessions including conditioners like running through tires, belly crawling, pounding of helmets and pads. Real workouts began with regular practice led by Coach O’Boy with his assistants Loew, Servant, and McKenna. True to Feehan tradition of “Support our team, win or lose,” coaches, teachers, administrators, and students demonstrated their loyalty at rallies and games. No matter what the score, cheerleaders, band, spirit squad and fans were back at school waiting to welcome the returning team. Their 3- 6 record can never measure or express the grit, trust, and perseverance that characterized Feehan’s ’72-’73 Team. Supporting their team, whatever the final score, Feehanites cheer enthusiastically every Saturday afternoon. Planning new strategies from the sidelines, are Coaches Paul O’Boy and Neil Loew. Struggling, Paul Mayer, Paul Deschenes, Robert Robillard, and Dennis Fernandes at- tempt to “block those points.” 40 races Frosh come out, shamrock style Frosh season started two days after school began with a meeting and then it was out to the field. Donning T- shirts, sneakers, and sweats, (not the usual football outfit) they did a galore, yelling in unison, half to keep count and half to keep from feelin the intense pain and fatigue of early season condi- tioning. After receiving their uniforms, the size problem some had was reme- died by a little tape and the team was ready to challenge all. Coaches Louis Gazzola and Peter Galligan admitted the biggest game was the Attleboro- Feehan tie. With one minute to go in the game, the Frosh tied it up, much to the dismay of Attleboro and to the delight of Feehan fans standing along the sidelines. Evidently, as their season progressed, the Frosh improved con- siderably upholding Feehan’s football tradition.

Boys’ varsity with a 16-2 record, became semi-finalists in New England Catholic Invitational tournament, win- ning over St. Mary’s, Cambridge. In the Tech Tourney, they scored 70-65 over Cardinal Spellman High in a thrilling double overtime. Playing at Boston Gardens against Cathedral High, they lost in overtime play, 64-62, when Cathedral sank a basket in the last two seconds. Driving hard down Boston Gardens court, Buddy Brantley works for his usual lay-up. With a turn-around jump shot, Tom Lynch adds two more to the Feehan score. Ready and aiming, closely guarded Mary Lou Petti tenses for shooting while Chris Basile watches for a rebound. Chris placed on the Girls’ All Star team. 4] Possible dream— Feehan Tech fieam. .. Yes Starting out with an unbeatable atti- tude, the talented Shamrock basketball team realized their potential. Early in the season, the Shamrocks lost a heart- breaking overtime game to Attleboro. Rebounding with twelve straight victo- ries, Feehan made Attleboro it’s thirteenth victim. The Shamrocks be- ‘came the first Feehan team to partici- pate in the Tech Tournament and the Catholic Memorial Tournament. Somerset Taunton Connolly Falmouth Smooth and cool as always, Alvin Wilson, carries the ball down court. Eyes on the basket, Lejuan Brantly moves to capture two more points. Ignoring his Case opponent, Richard Pineault stands ready to shoot for the hoop. Catching Case off guard, Thomas Lynch moves in to tie it up. “Up and in you gotta put that ball” William Lang does just that. Quickly locating his target, William Driscoll makes a fast decision to shoot or pass. Front row: William Driscoll, Thomas Lynch, Le- juan Brantly, William Boulet, Richard Pineault, David Coe. Back row: Allen Boyer, Kevin Ashe, Jay Belt, William Lang, Kenneth Kinsford, Al- vin Wilson, Coach Gerald Cunniff.

Back row: Coach Anthony Gazzola, Michael Kirby, Fred Battersby, Paul Ringette, Robert Cronin, Gary Adinolfi, James Viens. 43 Girls defend first place for third year With only two practices per week, a team effort of combined individual tal- ents was spurred on by high ex- pectations of victory. Accuracy at the foul line was just one of the girls’ as- sets. The ability to plan effective strategy from the inside as well as the outside distinguished this team from many others. This year the girls partici- pated in fewer games—a key factor stimulating tremendous effort and real- ization that “winning” is a must. Per- sonal idiosyncracies were reconciled under the guidance of coaches Sister Rose Angela and Elaine Condon, and transformed with the team objective in mind. As champions of eastern Massa- chusetts and leaders of their confer- ence, the girls are third year defenders of the number one spot. The varsity consists of three seniors and five ju- niors backed up by developing under- classmen. The girls have reason to be proud and to believe that beyond these todays, success will be within their grasp. Varsity team, front row: co-captains Christine Basile, Mary Lou Petti; Patricia Lambert; back row: Coach Elaine Condon, Diane Laroque, Mau- reen Reardon, Kathy McLear, Kathleen Byrnes, and Debra Marchand. Junior varsity: Christine Cassals, Joanne Difiore, Nancy Courtemanche, Christine Kelley, Mary Paquin, Deborah Gorman, Melodye Broadly, Joan Rhilinger, Eileen Stelmack, Nancy Lee, Mary-ann McAuliffe, Terri Lyons, and Josette Poirier. 44 Looking for an open team mate, Christine Basile —_ Anticipating possible obstructions, Mary Lou Putting her height to good use, Kathleen Byrnes motions to Maureen Reardon who immediately _Petti dribbles down court. reacts. goes for the rebound. % , = 7 me 4 ji ee hers, ‘@ ri a . 4 =e.

Beyond a Dream New ideas, new activities sprouting, a new year began in a whirl of color. Spirit committee inspired a full scale attack on apathy. Corridors bedecked in paper chains, slogans— “All the way with the big green machine.” “Marshmallow them,” “Lick ’em,” Show we are behind our team.” We cared, we were alive and well and spirited! Feehan students stood up— to build props for “Carousel,” to gain and protect cafeteria rights, to student-teach day, to decorate for dances. Clubs, committees, teams— all united to conquer obstacles, to soar high, blossoming to a single goal— “Feehan First!” Above and beyond the others we searched— BEYOND A DREAM. “We're number one” is the war cry from Marie Casale, Paul Corriveau, Dennis Cornetta, Barry Allen, Pam Cash, James Drury and Jane Oliveira. Correlating Flashback layout, Mary Lou Petti and Barbara MacLeod plan sports pages while mascot Samson supervises. Discovering his “Cindy,” (Betty Ann Doyle), messenger, Bernie Poirier, perfectly fits the silver slipper in the Christmas show. 47 Student Council committee members seated are: Barbara Joyce, Evaluation; Chnistine Basile, Stu- dent Faculty; Kathy Murphy, Dance; Mary-Lou Petti, Kevin Ashe, Building and grounds. Stand- ing: Leeann Mongeau, Evaluation; Granger, Sunshine akd Hospitality, Maura Nor- ton, Project; Elaine DeSantis, Mark Traversi, Evaluation; Janet DeSantis, Sunshine and Hos- pitality; James Drury, Project; Neal Dolan, Give-A-Damn; Brian Walsh, Evaluation. aes cee ‘ Linking students and administration are: Robert Boucher, Mr. Louis Gazzola, Marie Casale, Neil Walsh, Jeffrey Rixon, S. Patricia Harrington, and Lynda Stowell. $ een oe S.C. promotes somewhere to go, something to do “Looking forward to great tomor- rows,” the Student Council set out to unite the school, and to incite spirit and interest in varied activities. Com- mittees co-ordinated their efforts to ini- tiate such projects as “Greaser, Boot’ em, and Derby” days promoting “fun- raising.” The council hosted the S.E. Mass. convention, March 23, paving the way for future council success. Pondering questions of student-faculty conflict are Kathy Sedlak, Sister Theresa Sparrow, and Barbara Joyce as Christine Basile explains her point. Student Council representatives kneeling, are: Kathy Sudjack, Mary Materson, Carol Moore; middle row: Dolores McDonagh, freshman pres- ident; Pamela Cash, Kathleen Weygand, Ann Marie Yeghian, Project; Sally Lehane, Linda Boucher, Feehanite of the month; standing: Rosemary Healy, Carolyne Hendrigan, Claire Paradis, Jane Oliveira, Paul Deshcenes, Kathy McLear, Spirit; Terry Buckley, Robert Robillard. Delving into the hidden explanation of “buzzing bees” and other beastly languages, Steve Mur- phy cooly emcees during a variety show act. Helping to make “greaser day” a success are alumni faculty Mr. Louis Gazzola, Mr. Christo- pher Servant, Mr. Anthony Gazzola, Mr. Peter Galligan. Performing a hilarious rendition of “Bert and I”, Kevin Ashe is accompanied by Al Wilson, Bill Boulet and Neal Dolan—“aeyep!” 50 Rejoicing at peace, Feehan offers thanks Plans for “Give-A-Damn” week were upset this year, but no one minded. With the signing of the Viet- mam peace agreement, the United States ended twelve year involvement in South East Asia. The scheduled peace moratorium and the letter writ- ing planned by the student body en- couraging the release of P.O.W.’s were cancelled and replaced by a Mass of student thanksgiving. Now as we “look beyond a dream”, we do so with the encouraging promise of peace for our time and always. Hoping for a brighter tomorrow, Feehan stu- dents proclaim their desire to live in peace in a world of free people. Living in a world of crisis and splendor, of laughter and tears, students realize the impor- tance of “Giving-A-Damn” in Feehan and everywhere. 51 Spirit committee decorates Feehan Adding a special note of comedy to rallies with original skits, the Spirit Committee achieved recognition time and again throughout the year. They aroused enthusiasm for important games by hanging colorful paper chains from ceilings, making corridor length “Walk on Attleboro” floor signs, and distributing lollipops for Lick ’em Day. Support for football, basketball, track and baseball teams, was in- creased with student and teacher parti- cipation in such activities as Lick’em and Derby Days. “Feehan Shamrock” pins could be seen on the majority of lapels, and signs that graced each and every locker for football season were still clinging there to support other winning teams throughout the year. Chains of Shamrock Spirit entangle Claire Parker, Susan Durant, Claire Dalton, Tracy McKay. Celebrating a hope for defeat of Attleboro, the Svirit Committee, clockwise from Susan Pollis (bedecked with hat), Patricia McDonagh, Jeff Maxwell, Catherine Murphy, Kathleen Brynes, Tracy McKay, Georgiana Smith, Claire Dalton, Marie Casale, Cynthia McAlice, do a prophetic skit. eV BISHOP FEEHAN HIGH Marching units work over time Saturday mornings were not sleep- ing times for drill team, color guard, or majorettes. Their varied services, need- ing much practice, consisted of half time shows, rallies, competitions, and parades. Every Saturday at eight found them practicing on the football field before the games. Their repertoire in- cluded twirling fire batons, dipping and swooping flags, and the Charleston done to the tune of “five-foot two, eyes are blue.” Drill team members kneeling are Susan Car- vahlo, Pamela Sullivan, Teresa Castro, Rayann Gilmore, Debra Castro, Francine Viens, Lois Wims, Mary Morin, Cindy Amesbury, Carol Sedlak, Mary Cronan, Lynn Mondor, Linda Boucher; standing: Susan Reynolds, Joan Rhili- nger, Karen McKuen, Helenann Plath, Elizabeth Dupee, Linda Curtis, Julie Zachman, Theresa Morin, Rosemary Healy, Dolores McDonagh.

Vari- Ous projects included an Alumni Bowl to celebrate homecoming, and repre- sentatives to participate in “It’s Aca- demic”, Channel 5 T.V. Another pro- gram recognizing excellence was the Spanish Honor Society, promoting uni- versal friendship with penpals. Recipients of the 1973 National Merit Scholar- ship letters are Christine Bergh, Clare Shepherd. Jody Ferland is absent from the picture. Provisional Junior members of the National Honor Society seated are: Kathleen Byrnes, Anne Ferland, Michelle Lennartz, Sandra Copley, Patricia McDonagh, Lois Wims, Nancy Grenier, Cynthia McAlice, Karen Benoit, Chery!

These students have successfully met the quali- fications of leadership, scholarship, character and participation. 55 Flashback— end product— beyond a dream Staffers learned yearbook tactics in a March mini-course. Two Flashback firsts—positions were opened to juniors and a yearbook assembly featured a preview slide presentation. Six “fortu- nate” students, with moderator, Sister Mary Enda, traveled 33 hours to Camp Kanuga, North Carolina, winning sec- ond prize cover design and a copy award. The staff survived on Burger Chef, lollipops, and a little patience, al- ways looking beyond a dream. With responsibility of decisions, deadlines and “doughnut breaks” managing editor, Carolyn Blythe, and editor-in-chief, Mark O’Neil, remain in good humor. Helping sell the ’73 Flashback business staff members Kathryn Gautieri, Paula Jurdack, Cy- nthia Midon, Linda Ryng, Wendy DeMayo, Ly- nette Dulude, Judith Fisher, Moderator Sister Margaret Salisbury, Carol Desilets, Clare Shep- herd and Mary Lynn Baldini had a successful year, selling over 450 books. 56 “Don’t read it like you hate it,” copy staff, Kath- leen Sedlak, Barbara Joyce, Michelle Lennartz, Patricia McDonagh, Christina Bergh warn edi- tor, Christine Basile. Developing hundreds of yearbook masterpieces are photographers Walter Landry and Pau! Poi- rier in the hidden dark room. Laughing at atrocious mistakes, funny captions, are Flashback typists Denise Cloutier, Sheila Chilli, Helen Doyle. Hard at work are sports and layout staffs Barbara MacLeod, Mary Lou Petti, Jane Cote, Cheryl Viau, Carolyn Keyes, Colleen Barrett and year- book moderator, Sister Mary Enda Costello. 57 Feehan gyrations explode with “fun” revival Transforming dances into more than Saturday night time-fillers, students vi- brated to entertaining band, “Cricken Foot”. Fun penetrated functions—the jitter-bugging greaser, the bearded Sadie Hawkin bumpkins. With the contagious spirit, dads bunny-hopped beside hokey-poking daughters at the annual event. Juniors and seniors achieved a Feehan first in a shared prom. Characterizing all dances, the prom theme, “A time for us” empha- sized the exhilaration of being one’s self, of reaching for fun as a treasure to grasp, for now. . . for always. Daddy’s little girl bunny hops with pop unti- ringly around the cafeteria as dads silently suffer waiting for 11 o’clock to come. Enjoying the pleasant atmosphere and company, Jeannette Hermans, her escort, Debra Hebert and Paul Neveux listen to music and converse. 58 ea tae Seniors, jUNIOrS share prom at Colonial Hilton Fun, warmth, friendship , and love, put them together and what did we get? “A time for us.” This was the night of January 31 at the Junior-Se- nior Prom at the Colonial Hilton as coup les danced to music by the “Clef- tones”. A double court reigned with Senior queen and Junior princess as all girls shared a lovely evening with their Prince Charmings. Senior president, Paul Deschenes, crowns Eliza- beth Leddy, witnessed by “Princess” Melissa Patenaude, Gary Zilch, and Mary Barrows. Members of court are Richard Bolandz, Geor- gianna Smith, Robert Mulligan, Helen Lavailee, Stephen Rhilinger, Michelle Lennariz, James Drury, Melissa Patenaude, Elizabeth Leddy, Gary Zilch, Mary Barrows, and escort, Victoria Tatro, William Lang, Christine Aussant, and Da- vid Thibeault. 59 Harmonizing “When the children are asleep,” are Carrie Pipperidge (Susan Pollis) and Mr.. Enoch Snow, (Robert Gamache), dreaming of their own children. Starkeeper (Timothy Wheelock) polishes the stars in the waiting room of heaven joyfully an- ticipating the arrival of Billie Bigelow. Captain (Daniel Rogers), Carrie, and Mr. Snow offer consolation to Julie Jordan (Marie Chabot) holding Billie Bigelow (Bernie Poirier) after his suicide, 60 Dramatists em- ploy new media Talent was “bursting out all over,” as the 1973 drama club began prac- ticing for the spring production of Carousel. Introducing special effects, the first scene was filmed and projected on stage. Emphasizing different aspects of stage production, interested students learned about lighting, make-up, cos- tuming, and general behind the scenes assistance, as well as acting. Using video-tape, drama coach Mr. James Haskins, pointed out weaknesses in each performance to produce the best possible product. Portraying the high and mighty Mrs. Mullin, Kathleen Winters frowns at the thought of her carousel barker “fooling” with Julie Jordan. “My boy Bill!” Billy Bigelow, played by Bernard Poirier, sings of his soon-to-be-born son (or daughter). Acting out the final scene of graduation in Carousel are Thespians Michelle Nadeem, Julie Zackman, Thomas Cuddy, Mary Theroux, and Michelle Silva. 61 Medical Careers set new pace Loaded with activities, the program for Medical Careers Club included ad- dresses by paraprofessional, Mr. Bridges, Sister Thomas Moore, and representatives from local hospitals. Initiated also was a practical first aid course and a trip to Mass. General Hospital to view open heart surgery. Motivated and activated members pushed forward with purpose and stamina. S ‘ = if Gathering information on kinesiology from Sis- ter Thomas Moore are Stephen Champagne and his sister, Karen. Future Medical Professionals are, front row: Paula Jurdak, Kathy McCall, Chris Aussant, Karen Champagne, Paul Neveux, Pat Wish- nevsky; second row: Theresa McKay, Nancy Parker, Jane Cote, Edita Van Leeuween, Sue Ciarocco, Carol Sedlak; third row: Cindy McAlice, Carol Desilets, Kathleen Byrnes, Ann Ferland, Elaine DeSantis; fourth row; Theresa Brillon, Suzanne St. Jean, Robin Medas, Karen Benoit, Cynthia Sibilia; top row; Suzanne Char- ron, Georgianna Smith, Catherine Dion, Mary Brais, Karen Johnson, Janet Barry. Planning future Medical career projects. presi- dent, Chris Aussant and secretary, Kathy McCall listen to moderator Sister Elizabeth McAuliffe’s advice. + 62 Chorus succeeds in making their kind of music Achieving a new musical sound, uti- lizing well-blended female voices, the chorus made this year unique with their Christmas and spring presenta- tions. Choral members made many small presentations at local civic club meetings during the year. The chorus performed at the December concert with the band and drama club and in the spring presented “A Musical Re- view” an exciting song medley of mu- sic past and present. “Diminuendo”, directs Sister Mary Evangela as chorus rehearses for the final Christmas concert. Accompianist, Mary Vincent checks over piano arrangements. Chorus members, front row: Joan Robillard, Marie Chabot, Mary Morin, Jane Rogers, Therese Morin, Jean Motyl, Nancy Giovino, Kathy Winters and Julie Zackman; second row: Mary Jorge, Rose Mary Hastings, Barbara Joyce, Donna Vandenbergh, Julie Maselbas and Con- nie Bradshaw have final dress rehearsal before Christmas Concert Band arouses spirit with hall parade. At football half-time, a rally, or a parade down school corridors to build enthusiasm, the Bishop Feehan Band adds color and talent to extra-curricu- lar activities. In conjunction with the drama club and chorus, the band per- formed at Christmas a medley of songs from “Fiddler on the Roof” and a flute quintet from “Nutcracker Suite.” Sister Mary Evangela directs these students to increase variety in school life. Officers are President, Mary Lou Petti; Vice-President, Paul Rhilinger; Secretary, Helen Young; and Trea- surer, Jeanne Motyl. Trumpeters Helen Young, Mary-Lou Petti, Don- ald Fortin, blast forth. Band members Theresa DeBlois, Christine Cassels, Theresa Radnor, Paul Poirier, Paul Rhilinger, Robert Poirier, Rita Young, Georgiana Smith, Kathleen Poholek, Marie Chabot, Helen Young, Rosemary Hast- ings, Paul Desmarais, Joseph Motyl, Mary-Lou Petti, Victor LeCasse, Beverly Belmore, Nancy Grenier, Christopher Swift, Dwight Radnor, Ste- ven Santoro, Roger Theroux, Joan Motyl, Don- ald Fortin, Lisa Grenier, Julie Maselbas, Jeanne Motyl, and Claire Dalton, pause before march- ing over the football field. 64 students revive wartare at Feehan. Pawn to king four, knight to bishop three—these sounds are heard every Tuesday afternoon as the chess club opens its weekly warfare session. Headed by Sister Leona Misto, who of- ten participates in combat, the chess club enters several outside tourna- ments. After an hour or so of intense concentration the victory cry of “Checkmate” resounds. Members leave mentally exhausted, educated, fulfilled and ready to take on any avid follower of Bobby Fischer. Future grand-master, John McGee, demon- strates winning tactics to fellow chessman, James DeWiit. Contemplating how to put Mark O’Neil in checkmate is John Shang. “There, that should do it,” Mary Jorge, after much thought, makes a critical move. 65 Library resources promote students’ initiative, learning Over 10,000 volumes in the Feehan library provided the individual student with a working atmosphere and re- sources for independent research and study. Accommodating approximately 75 students at a time, the library re- sources included selections from both fiction and non-fiction and many re- source books, newspapers and magazines. Students had access to all materials and were encouraged to use them. The library was staffed by full time media generalist, Sister Mary Faith. Service was also provided by Mrs. Robert Deam and 25 student assistants. Soul searching philosophers are Edita Van Leeu- ween, Mary Plante, Jean Melanson and Mr. Louis Gazzola. Extensively researching a philosophy term paper are Lynn Dulude, Mary Lou Petti and Carol Desilets. Always able to provide the missing link of re- search material is librarian, Mrs. Deam. 66 Media center houses A-V software, hardware. With the addition of the video tape machine purchased through the efforts of candy selling students, Feehan’s Media Center provided more students with modern A-V equipment assisting them in study. Students often dropped by to listen privately to a Shakespearean play. At the same time, others watched high- lights of a basketball game on video tape. The media center was an essential element in the instructional services of Feehan geared to the best interest of the students. “Lights, camera, action.” Susan Pollis expertly focuses on members of her Speech and Drama class. Enjoying the finished product are critics Karen Champagne, William Lang, Susan Pollis, James Williams and Cindy Midon. Giving the thumbs up sign of approval is Sister Mary Evangela to newsman William Lang. Checking out the over head projector, S. M. Vin- cent Ferrer keeps media center equipment in topnotch condition. 67 Ourselves... Beyond a Dream He’s real. He’s alive. In the midst of 700 faces He stands out. He has his own way Of smiling, Of slamming his locker, Of sharing lunch With a friend. He thinks his own way Be it pro-McGovern or pro-Nixon, Or even for or against cafeteria food. He’s got a certain style. He’s got gusto. Yet he is only one, A single starlet of the perfect dandelion, A tiny segment of the whole, 1 700 of the school. But he is an important part Of that special something Called Feehan, Of Feehan’s hopes and aspirations. He’s helping at Nazareth Hall And he’s out cleaning up The Ten Mile River. He was with us at classes, games, Rallies, dances, and assemblies. He’s a part of us. We're a living people. And we're real. We’re alive. As we look BEYOND A DREAM Homework is easier when Sister Patricia Har- rington helps, insists math students William Driscoll, Christopher Copley, Stephen Hilton, Neil Dolan, Robert Boucher, and Peter Perry. “Checkmate,” says Senior Robert Lincourt as Sister Leona looks for an easy way out. Mr. Santanastaso, Providence College, B.S., Uni- versity of Mass. M.A., physics, astronomy in- structor, marks the spot as he shows Senior Gary Sanocki the landing site of Apollo XVII. Administration defines Feehan’s roles, rules. With administrative duties taking a lot of their time, Sister Therese An- tone, M.A. and Mr. Paul O’Boy, B.A., head the administration department at Feehan. Principal Sister Therese, a member of the Mass. Association of Secondary School Principals finds time to give her all for Feehan. Assistant principal, Mr. Paul O’Boy, Feehan’s four-job man, does vice-principal duties, teaches law, heads the athletic department, and coaches the football team. Sister Regina Coughlin is chair- man of the Guidance department and is always there when help is needed by any student on any problem. Involved in her efforts to keep Feehan alive and well and living in Attleboro, Sister Therese looks up from her work to give a warm greeting. ws ‘ 15 gah 2, pt NRE naam pe Triple threat—vice-principal, athletic director and coach, law teacher—formidable Mr. O’Boy takes a breather from his rugged schedule. 70 Always willing to advise undecided up- perclassmen, Sister Regina Coughlin, M. Ed., smiles with satisfaction while Christine Aussant receives her letter of college acceptance. Having exhorted graduates to continue to up- hold Christian values, Most Reverend Daniel A. Cronin, D.D.S.T.D. is escorted from the pradu- ation exercises by Sister Therese and Father O’Neill. During commencement exercises Superintendent of Schools, Father Patrick O’Neill addresses graduates. Celebrating a vocation mass for senior boys are Most Reverend Bishop Daniel Cronin and con- celebrants Reverend Ronald Tosti and Brian Harrington. 71 MR.

Just as a basketball team works together, these teachers were a team. Team teaching, brother-sister teams, alumni teacher teams—all re- sponded to students’ needs. Faculty and students shared such experi- ences as “Greaser Day,” the open- ing of departmental meetings to stu- dents, faculty-student panel and joint curriculum committee. Giving all they have, the faculty team ful- filled the dual role of educator and friend. Grooving yet another bookcase, Mr. Eugene Touzin shows his practical skili with the router. SISTER M.

Swept into the Feehan hustle-bustle, office work- ers exemplify efficiency. Miss Miriam Condon keeps all financial records straight and Sister M. Anastasia keeps attendance roster up to the minute. Braving hungry hordes of students, cafeteria workers meet them daily with a smile. Janitors toil from two o’clock on, often unnoticed but surely appreci- ated. These dedicated people are Feehanites in the best sense of the word. Updating attendance records, Sister M. Anas- tasia listens to another “tardy story.” Typing official letters and documents daily keeps Mrs. McAlice’s fingers on the keys. Taking a quick lunch break are Mrs. Lachance, Mrs. Trepanier, and Mrs. Leroux. Tuition and bills keep Miss Miriam Condon at her adding machine and office files. 75 Freshmen seed is sown, impregnating spirit. Faced with a new way of life, the class of °76 eyed Feehan with awe. Enthusiasm planted its seeds as they strongly supported winning Frosh teams. Freshman cultivated a “Feehan First” in the Freshman Seminar on November 15. A Student Council project, its purpose was to acquaint ninth graders with Feehan life. Their spirit grew as they awaited Home- coming Week and the election of class leaders. Between “Predict-a-Score”, nickle raffles and “Greaser Day”, the Frosh still had energy to create their unique float—“Spirit of °76”. Their flower blooms as their challenges and dreams meet reality. “Spirit of 76” enters Frosh history while Pamela LeBlanc and Pamela Sullivan reign as attendants Paula Achin, Edward Alix, Cynthia Amesbury, Douglas Anderson, Robert Ashe, Kevin Barry, Paul Battista, Dar- ren Beatrice.

Old-hats in the Feehan beat, sophs “drummed” together their previous soli- tary ways. Fuller participation unfolded, strung in a kaleidoscope of new varsity members, and greater participation in clubs, exemplified by the avid chess player. For the first time girls’ basketball had cheerleaders-enthusiastic tenth gra- ders. Days unravelled seasonal activities. Homecoming collaged a float, football in- juries, and helium balloons. Highlighting dances was that special, the Saide Hawk- ins, with the trial ‘no dress code’ coupled with a masquerade in which one soph- omore girl was a prize-winning sock. Aca- demically good grades paid off as some sophs became provisional members of the National Honor Society. Well-lived todays made yesterday happy; antici- pated tomorrows, visions of hope.

Junioritis hit more mem- bers of this class this year than the Hong Kong flu. Caught in the middle, the ju- niors tried to push their way up. They started with their new freedom of unas- signed studies, elective schedule, and their ring ceremony. They built it up with the homecoming float, kept it going with the Junior-Senior prom. Inseparable from all Feehan projects—the variety show, the annual school musical and various activi- ties, Juniors, knew the target, aimed steady and sure-BEYOND A DREAM.

Seniors at top blossom with style and scatter To the graduate, the walk down the aisle seemed endless. Dim lights cast bold shadows on portions of a life com- pleted and focused on a new existence. He walked expectantly to receive his prize for four years of hard work and dedication. In his mind memories flashed of days full of happiness and struggles now worthwhile. His name was called and he approached the stage. It was his night to shine. Sud- denly visions of a victory over Attle- boro and the first Homecoming game came before him. He placed himself back at the site of the Ten Mile River clean-up brigade, the paper drives and the interschool spirit contests and re- membered that Feehan was always “number one”. He returned to the early morning corridor rush. How he ever made it to class was truly a miracle. Laughing, he remembered the detention hours and the varied reasons for which he had earned the punishment. The touching moments of social Feehan, the proms, the mixers and the “just for fun” as- semblies were again real and mean- ingful. He received his diploma and proudly turned to face fellow class- mates for the last time. It was over and he was thankful; but also his heart was full of some regret because he could never turn back but must rather look BEYOND A DREAM. Graduates are Barbara Joyce, Karen Cham- pagne, Cindy Midon, Pam Cash, and Chris Basile. «0, ti, IDE ( guard 112. DAVID M.
