You lost two more pounds!” Students and fac- ulty members often heard this phrase at the girls’ “Nutrition Class’, every Wednesday. The class led by Mrs. Elaine Condon and Mrs. Beverly McGinn listened to lectures on nutrition and re- ceived low calorie recipes. Even snacks, low-calorie, of course, such as diet pizza and milk shakes were served. Through mini-courses students were given the opportunity to study two new languages, Latin and Italian. Classes in Latin were given by Sister Elizabeth Doyle and Italian was taught by Mr. Steven Rotondo. Opening a new dimension of art to students, Sister Regina Coughlin taught a decoupage course. A cake decorating course was taught by Mrs. Cynthia Schensnol. Local poet in residence, James Humphery conducted an eight week poetry workshop for Fee- han’s aspiring poets. Mr. Hum- phrey volunteered his services to the school. 28
