“Those were the days my friend. We thought they’d never end, We'd sing and dance. . .” Yes, my friend, those were the days; but these are the days — the days of laughter, song, group involvement and Feehan spirit. Together, this is what made our Big Event such a phenomenal success. Never will we forget the sight of Mr. Haskins unhesitantly shaving off his beard; or courageous Mr. Loew, who, for one night, garbed in frills and lace, paraded around as Chastity Bono. And we'll always remember the female faculty members, alias Bee-Bops, who danced and bopped to the swinging sounds of the fifties. The climax of the evening was the Paul O’Boy Roast. Dean Martin and his panel of celebrities couldn’t have Screams of “No, don’t!” and, “Go, go!” don’t seem to affect anow beardless Mr. Haskins as Gary Begin prepares to pay up the ten dollar bet.

The audience was quiet as it listened to the panel tell put-downs and jokes, for no one knew exactly how Mr. O’Boy would react. All turned out well, for Mr. O’Boy proved to be a super sport with a great sense of humor. It was moments, like the Big Event that made us realize how special it is to have fun being an important part of the Feehan community. “For we were young and sure to have our way. Those were the days, Oh yes, those were the days.” Roasting Mr. Paul O’Boy are Old Man (Greg Lauro), emcee Dean Martin (Paul Guimond), Mr. O’Boy’s nephew (Perry Fernandes), his doctor (Patrick Healy), and his grandfather (Michael Flaherty). — K = x BS “ aisvoallabaodinnnininhnsinbabeinoos ae .

Magic, applause Act | “There’s anew director? We have to try out one-by-one, in front of everybody?” The only comfort we had during tryouts for Feehan’s Musical Review was knowing that everyone else felt the same way. Then came the agony of waiting for parts to be posted. . . Act Il “Consider yourself at home” was our opening song and theme throughout the entire season. Long practices, strained voices, memorizing lines and nervous tension were common. We were a new family, forming unique friendships and ignoring the date when we knew we'd have to say goodybe. Don Quixote’s niece (Katherine Cronin) and Nobleman (David Whitefield) try to arouse the Friar (Raymond Boucher) to assure him that “they're only thinking of him”. “1 feel so neglected!” announces Snoopy (Diane Cote), who is anxiously awaiting his supper. Snoopy watches dejectedly as Charlie Brown (Robert lacono), seeks the aid of Lucy, the neighborhood psychiatrist (Maureen Driscoll). “That will be five cents please!” Lucy requests advance payment for her therapy. Some good advice and a hand shake mark the state of truce between the feuding Charlie and Lucy. Lucy reminds her companion that not everyone can be lovely — like herself! Act Hl “Give’em the Old Razzle Dazzle!” Each act went out and put their all into the performance, coming off stage breathless and excited — wanting to do it again and again. Tearful promises were made to keep in touch. Pledges of “We'll Always Be Bosom Buddies” and the organization of several cast reunions made parting painful. Why did we do it? Why did we take the risk of coming so close, knowing we’d soom be separated? “And all at once you know again — What life is for. Cares disappear, soon as you hear that happy audience roar — ‘Cause you’ve had a taste of the sound that says love . Applause! Applause! Applause!”
