Spook’em day brought skier, Marthe-anne Healey, Monster, Richard Couto, Superman Patrick Shields carrying off Gloria Dubuc, Serviceman Roberta Florena out on corridors during homecoming week. Applause! Applause! Senior pride swells like their peacocks tail, as Johna Reardon is crowned home- coming queen, attended by Amy D’Antonio and Lisa DiPietro. Juniors’ steamboat at Homecoming festivities gives a Picky-picky — aren’t they ever satisfied? Night after night, week after week, hammering, painting, constructing and re-constructing, to make me perfect, and even now, the day of the big football game and parade, my artists are up bright and early to add the last finishing touches. What for? Some festive ceremony called Homecoming — who’s coming home anyway? I think I see my competiti on arriving — a black camera, impressive for Freshman. Run for your lives, we are being invaded by aliens from outer space. OOPS, it’s only the Sophomores with a miniature E.T. Making their proud but noisy entrance, the Seniors show off their tridescent colored peacock. This is going to be tough for the judges, but I know they'll make the best choice. As we all sit and wait for the procession to the field to start, we now have time to reflect on 28 Homecoming the past week, and what an incredible week it was. As a Junior float, I absorbed inside information on life at Feehan. One night | was shocked to hear what some students were planning to wear to school the next day! Mini skirts, multi-colored hair, feather earrings! What happened to those cute uniforms they’re always complaining about? Others were preparing for Smurf ’em day. They were going to bring in their little stuffed Smurfs or wear clothes of blue and white to show their spirit. Personally, I think a flower’ up day would be better. It’s going to look like a tropical island down at Feehan when students wear their Hawaiian shirts and lei’s for Hawaiian Day. I think I’m going to have a tough time finding a Twin for Twin’em day. Maybe I can get the Clair Mont to help me. I hope not all teenagers go through these personality changes. Well, now it’s my turn to float and flaunt myself past the spectators to Doubles in the doorway! Stephanie Marcin and Roberta Florena Twin ’em on Twins day. Float’s Eve view Hayward Field. As I follow in the tracks of a camera and an alien, and with the peacock on my wheel, we all parade down to the playing field along with the band, cheerleaders, colorguards, majorettes and various horn-honking cars. Finally a rest! At last the floats settle in to witness the game between Shamrocks and New Bedford Voke. After an exciting, fast moving game, Feehan captures a victory and so do I. All the members of Feehan High are ecstatic with their victory as they parade back to school. Well, what happens to us floats now? After all their hard work, they’re not going to dismember me! | guess they are. Well, I served my purpose; from now on, I'll just be a memory, like all the previously assembled floats. But nobody will forget this year’s Homecoming ceremonies, even though next year, new classes with new students will contribute their ideas to make Homecoming special and memorable year after year.

“Raise aloft’ green banners to the skies,” sing Paul Achin, Brian Carroll, Sergio Pedro in trying to teach the school song to new Freshmen on orientation day. Freshmen come in all sizes and in all stages of bewilderment. Jay Gendron, Dennis Sorel, and Pe- ter Collins wait for their student council guide to rescue them. Making flowers for their first float can be a lot of work, but Diane Turcotte, William Clarkin, Michelle LaChance, John Dumouchel, Matthew McKay and Mrs. Treen believe that with effort and persever- ance, anything can be done.

Theme banner is carried by spirited clowns in the homecoming parade. “We’re number one!” The fans shout and the team proves by its upset victory over previously unde- feated New Bedford Voke. Punk Rockers, Anne Cunha and Sharon Moore add more zany touches to their already bizarre cos- tumes. Homecoming 29
