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.

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
