Seasonal surfing, summer or winter, finds David Nazarian and William Kirby riding the boards. No lazy summer days this year! Brian Jonas, Kevin Jonas, and Michael Be- dard built a full scale home and had fun in the process. Time Off For Summer carpenters, travelers, students and surfers found life could be more satisfying than just beach-baking bodies in the boiling sun. The long hot summer hours for Brian and Kevin Jonas, Michael and Edward Bedard and Christopher Marcinkevicius were spent in building a house. For them, it was up at six, time for lunch from twelve to one, then back to work till five or until the plan for the day was finished. Building this house, now occupied by the Bedard clan, was a new and fun-filled experience for the quintet. The work had its high lights and low lights, but their sense of accomplishment kept them going. Seeing a pile of boards and nails turn into a sturdy, finished wall which they had helped put up, gave the boys a good feeling. The five learned from Mr. Bedard, their boss, who was very patient in putting up with his rookie crew. The hardest part was putting up the roof trusses which almost caused a few decapitations. Working side by side with members of the Bedard family, the five boys agreed that it was one of their best summers. Though she did not build a house, Trisha Buzzell designed one as her project in her course in Environmental Biology at Providence College. Working under Professor Krasner, Trisha planned a solar house that was so efficient that she won a prize for it. August found yearbook staffers, Kevin Lohmann, Sharyn Bankert, Andrea Cisternelli at Ohio University at Athens’ Journalism workshop held annually at Amherst College. The long hours of work from nine to nine and beyond, were spiced by Colonel Savedge’s ‘Red Horror, Marty Woolbright, and icky-poo cutsie pie captions’, all no-no’s in good yearbook producation. Many Things Another Freehan family went south of the border down Mexico way. Senior Steven Rogers, his freshman sister, Debbie and their family spent their vacation in Mexico. Steven commented: “Northern Mexico is extremely poor; we could easily tell where the national border was.’’ Back inthe good old U.S.A., Steven and Debbie didn't bring any Tijuana specials. Hasta la vista! In the southeast corner, Florida welcomed Dean Dominico and his family. Disney World and the Cypress Gardens were among the delightful places Dean and his family visited. His creative spirit was challenged and inspired by Disney’‘s creations, product of the greatest imaginative genius of our century. “Getting radical’ on the waves of the Pacific is how the Torpeys spent their beach days. For Steve, David and Jennifer, time on these golden sands was all too short. They would like to have extended their three months in California to more. There were SO many interesting things to do from their base in San Jose, with San Francisco only an hour's drive away. In San Francisco, they rode the cable cars, visited Fisherman’‘s Wharf, the Golden Gate Bridge, Giredelly Square and Alcatraz. For Steve, the chance to wind surf at San Jose, was a highlight of his stay. No less enjoyable yet so much closer to home, was water surfing at Narragansett beaches for David Nazarian and William Kirby. Of course, there were countless others who held summer jobs to earn their year’s tuition; still others swam, sailed or surfed at Cape Cod or South Shore or R.I. beaches. Whether far afield or close to home, a summer to remember. Summer 25

No Alligators Allowed “Come on, Mary Lou, it’s six o'clock, time to get up!’ ... School day, school day!” ... ‘We sincerely welcome you to Bishop Feehan High School.” ... “Where on earth am I?” ... “No, | don’t have my tickets to the pool and elevator.” Sound familiar? If last year’s classes were bursting at the seams, this year’s are tearing the seams apart! The class of 1985, 270 strong and the biggest class ever, brings the school total to 994, and that’s students only! There is a larger population in this school than in some towns in Wyoming! Seniors returned at the top of the heap, eagerly looking forward to graduation and beyond. Juniors gained the privileges of upper-classmen — a variety of electives, free studies, and respect. A year older and wiser, the Sophomores now had a class to look down upon from their third floor roost. The class of 1985 has entered our community, where pride in sanctity, scholarship, and sportsmanship has always ranked first. The Frosh will have many chances to prove that they are here and will make a difference, although to the upperclassmen they are just “small fry.’ So an innocent Frosh wearing a Red Sox T-shirt interrupted Sister Mary Olive’s class; so their elevator tickets expired; so some still cannot open their lockers on the first try; yet they held their heads high with hope for the future. hus began another school year. Nothing, not even late August heat, deters the cheerleaders from practicing for perfect form. Front row: Theresa Wessman, Maria Betro, Lisa Wessman, Melissa “ Clarkin, Karen Carvalho.
