Bananas and butterflies, spooks and sharks, that’s tonday blues turned Shamrock green to red and white polka dots, a myriad of patterns and colors on the first day of Homecoming Week. Class “Print Day” had freshmen in vibrant polka dots, sophomores in stripes, juniors in plaids and seniors in check-printed shirts. Another day that kept us all hopping and bopping was “50’s-60’s Day”. Students looked like a combination of the cast from “Happy Days” and a clan of flower children and hippies. Crazy shoes and stickers were part of the Feehan attire on “Kick’em, Stick’em Day.” Stickers with the individual class mottos were seen adhering to almost every Feehan blazer. “Clash’em Day” proved to be more of a “mix and match’em day.” Nearly everyone put aside their neat, meticulous attire and wore something clashing, daring, and bold. The Feehan green plaid skirt just wasn’t made to go witha multi- fluorescent orange and purple print shirt! e | Count Dracula, Darth Vadar, Batman, Togas! This couldn’t be Feehan could it? But, yes it was. These were some of the familiar sights viewed during “Spook’em Day”, which accounted for the strange garb. Imagine walking down the corridor and having a life size tea bag following behind and an enormous chocolate chip cookie trotting in front. One would have thought he was either in the Lipton Tea Company or the Keebler Tree House Cookie Factory. Classes just weren’t the same, especially if the Hunchback of Notre Dame was at the black board. The cork popper for spirit week had to be the traditional homecoming rally. Cheerleaders, majorettes, drill team, band and super spirited Feehanites in skits succeeded in capturing the audience’s attention and creating a rowdy, spirited atmosphere. Touchdown! Another one for Feehan, hurrah! Football players proved once again that they were number one, while plowing past Coyle-Cassidy for a twelve to four victory. And the homecoming queen for the 1978-1979 school year is. . . Martha Koshgarian! Teary eyed and exhausted from the excitement and suspense of the day and preceding week, Martha found it hard to believe her ears. During half time, the prize winning Senior float, with the theme, ‘“Go Bananas,” was displayed for all to marvel at. Second place went to the Juniors for ‘Junior Spirit Takes a New Form.” Placing third was the snub-nosed shark, symbol of the theme, “Sophomores Devour Coyle.” And last but never least, came the Freshmen with the theme ‘Freshmen Spirit Goes Round and Round.” That evening, a weary but still rowdy group of students danced to the music of Stripe. Clown Laura Maxwell exhibits her super Shamrock spirit while cheering on the homecoming parade. Autumn winds make it difficult for cheerleaders and majorettes to post their warning for the opposition to heed. 22
