Good Bye Caf . Cloudy skies, spring dressed in freez- ing weather, and winter-like darkness hinted at a very adventurous evening. Fathers and daughters entered the Venus DeMilo in Swansea, Mass. and checked in their coats. Dressing up seemed so appropriate, for the Venus DeMilo had an aura of true class. Both daughters and fathers noticed quite a change in atmosphere from the school cafeteria with its folding tables and chairs. High heels and shiny dress shoes sank into plush carpeting, and marble pillars replaced the linoleum tile of the cafeteria. Entering the banquet hall, Dad re- ceived the customary souvenir glass as did his daughter, and moved on to join friends at crowded tables. A multicourse dinner of boneless chicken was served instead of the punch, pretzels and chip snacks of past Father- Daughter dances. Heads turned when one unfortunate waiter sent lettuce and . Hello Venus tomatoes flying from salad bowls, hitting a couple of girls’ dresses. Well, maybe he was a little overworked! In leaving the banquet room, many who attended the dance noticed the snow billowing down out the front win- dow of the lobby. People began to worry about making it home in the fast-coming snowstorm. The wise left early, but others couldn’t bear to miss the after dinner dancing. It was common to see many dads and daughters out on the dance floor, still moving to the music of “The Seasons.” Throughout the evening, lines wound around the lobby for those waiting to have their pictures taken to capture the evening as a memory. As the night came to a close, fathers could only look forward to creeping home through the heavy falling snow- flakes at slow speeds for many hours through a frightening storm. Joyously dancing the snowy night away is Greta Meszoely and her father. 7 ‘ . x. 7 “ , a. Enjoyment of the evening is expressed by Allison Wegerdt, Lisa Klowan, Trearty Bartley , Gloria Du- buc, Nicole La Chance, and their fathers. 6 Father-Daughter Dance

We're up already? Suspense mounts as Mr. Servant announces Feehan’s turn to perform. It’s been a long day. Arriving at 6:00 A.M. Brenda Loiselle and husband, Glenn, supervised last minute preparations for hosting the visitors. Yet Another Feehan First First the walk-a-thon, now this-can our school handle all of these new challeng- ing activities? On March 19, 1983, Feehan held its very first majorette competition. Iridescently colored with balloons, streamers and encouraging slogans, the gymnasium was quickly filled to the rim with anxious competitors and psyched up fans. From Falmouth to Canton, New Bed- ford to Dennis-Yarmouth, each team ner- vously assembled in their designated seats to await their twirling debuts. With Feehan’s most famous orator, Mr. Christ- opher Servant, introducing each act, the majorettes tossed and twirled to their fa- vorite tunes before a scrutinizing panel of judges. Finally, came the anticipated arrival of our own Feehan majorettes. Re- sembling the famous 50's greasers and greasettes, the majorettes with ponytails 8 Majorettes' Competition and black jackets, rocked and bopped their batons before an exuberant audi- ence full of fans. With the watchful eye of moderator Mrs. Brenda Loiselle upon her girls, the majorettes amazed the audience with a breathtaking series of catches and spins. After each twirling team concluded its rigorous routine, the highlight of the after- noon put everyone on the edges of their seats: the presentation of trophies. Top- ping the list for Division | was Dennis- Yarmouth and for Division II the winner was Canton High. But, don’t think that Feehan walked away empty-handed. Captain Elizabeth Latta won one of the most coveted awards, Best Captain. As each team vacated the gym with their trophies held high, all spectators and competitors left knowing that this day would be remembered as another suc- cessful Feehan first. Mascot Skippy accompanies Sister Jessica to root for their favorite team, Feehan, of course!
