Bishop Feehan High School - Flashback Yearbook (Attleboro, MA)

Sharing Wider Worlds Assemblies brought change and variety into every-- day school life. Students and guests shared what they had to give. Whether a cheer or a song, the entertainment was warmly received. Imitations of cheerleaders, teachers, and basketball players added excitement to the annaul FLASHBACK assem- bly. The U.S. Navy Band of Newport, R.I. provided an enjoyable concert of both old and new music, bringing a bit of the 50's to Feehan. The Christmas assembly was probably one of the most exciting in Feehan's history. Highlights included the Senior Boy’s Choir and ‘‘Christmas on the U.S.S. Enterprise.”’ Students and faculty gathered together to cele- brate Christmas mass. Our reverend Bishop Daniel Cronin of Fall River was the celebrant. As a gift of gratitude, Bishop Cronin granted a day out of school to all students and teachers. A luncheon prepared by the Home Economics class was served in the library after mass. “The Envoys, ’ a gospel singing trio, shared a part of their life with us. Beautiful harmony flowed as the three sang, ‘‘I'll See You in the Rapture. ’ The Envoys were a spiritual inspiration to many and made the afternoon very enjoyable. Have you ever been to China? Listening to Massa- chusetts Congresswoman, Margaret Heckler, is the next best thing to being there. Mrs. Heckler gave highlights of a recent trip to China; her film also pro- vided viewers with a cultural and political back- ground of Communist China. Many opportunities to learn and grow as individu- als and as a school were made possible by the unself- ish sharing offered by guests throughout the year. Saying their prayers in harmonious song, Gospel singers, ‘The Envoys,’’ returned to Feehan to spread God's word. Providing excellent entertainment for two years in a row, the Navy Band plays the Chicago hit, ‘If You Leave Me Now.”

Learning, Striving — Change, Challenge Constant change and challenge confronted us in academic and athletic areas of achievement. We learned about marriage from those who know. Doc- tor, priest, married couples shared understanding and experience at the marriage seminars conducted by the religion department. Of the world beyond the Attleboros, we gained insight from our teachers who travelled at home and abroad. Science classes revealed wonders, as well as facts. Who could forget the view through a microscope showing reacting cop- per nitrate growing like a living tree? Appreciation of beauty deepened in the study of literature, art, music and experience of living theater. Looking through the “third eye’ of the camera, we gained perspective on familiar things — our own trees and bushes after an ice storm, the ‘‘shock of recognition’’ when we saw our first portrait proofs. Research papers, projects, even tests helped us stretch our minds to encompass larger worlds. In athletics, we strove valiantly in league competi- tion. We won some, lost others, but kept our Feehan spirit high. Two club sports, tennis and volleyball, have become league sports. Tennis will have its first league season this spring, but volleyball was a league sport last fall. In all our athletic contests we learned by both wins and losses — cooperation, loy- alty, and determination to be and to do our very best. Attleboro Coyle-Cassidy, Gerard
