18 “What is this assembly that is called a Seminar?” whispered freshmen. “| don’t know,” most replied. The freshman class soon found out! Two hundred thirty-two freshmen piled into the auditorium, filling more seats than any other class had, in the history of Bishop Feehan High School. Responding to the questioning glances, Robert Bergh, Student Council President, explained why they were seated there, by themselves at 8:15 in the morning. The Frosh weren’t in trouble, but they were going to be introduced to every activity Feehan had to offer. Just one month earlier, the freshmen hesitantly stepped into the school. Not knowing many people, they made friends rapidly. But they “But I have three English classes!” Sister Regina tries to eliminate confusion on the first day. Involvement - Name of the Game still didn’t know much about Feehan. The upperclassmen showed them! The opening presentations were from the Colorguard and Drill Team. Both groups sent vibrations of spirit to the Freshmen and they set the pace for well prepared skits from several clubs. The Tennis Team smashed a few balls into the audience. The Folk Group appropriately presented their welcoming song, but the Dance Committee’s skit stole the show. The Freshmen roared with laughter as fellow classmates attempted to perform some disco steps. The new class got the message. Now, they know what it’s all about.

APOSTLES, ACOUSTICS, ATOMICS Easter celebration telescoping four days in ninety minutes? “Cantate Domino” or “’Godspell?” Parts of the Liturgy took on many different forms this year, in an effort to strengthen the meaning of the Mass for all present. After the celebration of the Last Supper on Holy Thursday, the scene shifted to Good Friday and Our Lord’s Crucifixion. The auditorium plunged into darkness, leaving a large wooden cross spotlighted, center- stage. As the celebrant, Father Brian Harrington, read an account of the Journey to Calvary, a snare drum sounded fatefully. The mood became joyous in the light of the Paschal candle and the fragrance of Easter lilies, while the glow of the students’ small candles lit up the darkness. A sense of newness was present just five months later — Father Bellenoit celebrated a Mass with new students, teachers and a brand new school year. Media underscored the solemnity of the Thanksgiving Mass with a slide presentation of the community. Individuals did their part by filling National Honor Society food baskets for tne needy. Patricia Kirby and members of the chorus welcomed Bishop Daniel A. Cronin, celebrant of the Christmas mass, with ‘““Cantate Domino” and “Hosanna to the Son of David.” Midyear exams followed Christmas vacation; then students relaxed during Catholic School Week. “Our Atomic World” literally had Mark Tarsa’s hair standing on end, while the speaker from the University of Hartford explained atomic energy through audience participation on January 30. One day later, the Navy Band returned with current hits such as Lou Rawls’ “Lady Love”, Earth, Wind and Fire’s Twenty-first Night of September,” and the Blues Brothers’ “Soul Many From solemn praise at the Easter Mass to vibrant cheers during the Navy Band assembly, Feehan students enjoyed spiritual, mental and emotional enrichment. “I’m asoul man. . .” Students were treated to a command performance by the Blues Brothers, otherwise two inconspicuous members of the Navy Band.
