“It’s Too Darn Hot.’”’ New York humidity gets to the chorus girls, Maria Castro, Tina Perry, Laura McNulty, Lynne Grigelevich, and Tra- cy Kelly.

Determined to collect on a debt, the Gangsters (Raymond Cord and make-up to make sure the show will Timothy Dillon) scrutinize Fred’s go on. Make It Look Real, real, Real, REAL ... “No, no, no. Look try this . . . | watch the director of the FTC, Mr. Alan Ksen, illustrate the technique for being kicked in the shins, bludgeoned with a ladle and verbally abused by one’s daughter. “You have to make it look real!” This is my role of Shakespeare's Baptista. My daughter Katharine has a part in the Taming of the Shrew. Guess which one. It fits her well. The play within the play format worked well, The entire pro- duction had to. A five scene rotating set does not lend itself to acting foulups. Countless hours of building were poured into the set. Endless rehearsals were needed to polish the play for opening night. Painting, singing and rehearsing frantically, cast and crew spent the last weeks before performance practically living in the Theatre. Opening night was as taut and exuberant as ever and the cast and crew as jubilant afterwards as any cast and crew deserve to be after a successful opening night. This is all as it should be, and as it rightfully was. Personally, | am confident as to the soundness of my performance, especial- ly the kicking-bludgeoning routine. | do not know how many times we practiced this sequence, but | do know it looked, sounded and appeared real. Katharine took no chances on tricky routines on opening night. The command was “Make it look real.” It was! Kiss Me, Kate 15

Who's walking whom? This is the question as Gab- riel Lennartz and her dog stop for a drink before completing the course. a. Whole school gets in the act and Struts For Bucks Tragedy struck on a beautiful April day! Over one thousand pairs of sneakers were brutally killed by a never ending mass of over ambitious Feehanites. Though students were commended for bringing in more than $10,000 during the fund-raiser, the real unsung heroes were our fearless footwear. We are, of course, talking about last year’s very successful walk-a-thon. Feehanites treked ten miles to raise money to keep their tuitions down, but also gave a massive display of spirit un- surpassed by any other school in our area. Many a Feehanite walked door to door in support of their school and spoke i. Bat = % i ir , a ogee es ak ae a eye e i : ee Ae Aah!! What a relief! Tired walkers take a rest after ten long miles. those famous words “Hi, my school is having a walk-a-thon ...” Despite a few broken noses and lost friends, the fund- raising was a colossal success. The renowned day came and each and every student received the one and only, limited edition, official Feehan “T-shirt” which came in very handy for swatting mosquitoes. Students, faculty and even a few from the crutch-bunch did their part even if they couldn’t walk. Some faculty members worked the one mile check- points; students who couldn't walk lent a hand by supplying the punch and other goodies. The track team really pushed it to the limit by running the entire ten mile stretch, but they did get exempted from practice that day. So let’s not bury our Nikes, Jox, Pony’s and Trax yet; there’s many a walk-a-thon to come! Walk-a-thon 17
