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.

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
