SHAMROCKS SHAMROCKS SHAMROCKS IN CONTROL On leave from his parish in Japan, Father Martin Dubuc, class of 1970, in celebrating the annual mass for his fellow alumni and teachers receives the memo- rial plaque from David Doucette, class of 1981. Bringing the bread that will become Eucharist at the Holy Week liturgy are Mr. Vincent Fagone, Sister Patri- cia Raiham and Mrs. Nancy Mello. 2 Theme opening Clang! The steel doors slam shut as another green-clad in- mate is deposited in cellblock 1984 at the Feehan penitentiary. For the next four years, the pris- oner’s thoughts, actions, and de- cisions will all be controlled. Is this Feehan behind closed doors? No, it's only the nightmare of an in- coming freshman. The reality could hard- ly be more different since these high school years are a period of growth, transition, and prepara- tion. Uniforms and trivial rules aside, they are years when, for the first time in our lives, we are in control. The future looms before us, what will we make of it? During our time at Feehan we all make countless decisions which mold our minds, build our character, and thus, shape our future. There are sO many opportunities avail- able, do we take full advantage of them and “reach for the stars,” or do we try to do just enough to get by? The choice is our own. Which courses to take or should we do homework? What sport to partici- pate in? Is it really necessary to practice, practice, practice? Should we make an Echo retreat? Should we try out for this play, go to the dance, ask someone to the prom? All of these questions chal- lenge us to answer. The resulting actions, demonstating the three S's of scholarship, sanctity, and sportsmanship, will lead us to a better understanding of who we are and where we're going. We strive to make the most of our potential, proving to ourselves and to others that we are in con- trol.

Where We're At STQDENT LIF F IN CONTROL: Bonzai! In order to be the first person back at school in the spring Walk-a-thon, James Zito must use ingenu- ity to find a short-cut. In Shakespeare’s Taming of the Shrew, the play with- in the play of Kiss Me, Kate, Lucentio (Jeff Larson) and Gremio (John Flatley) are in awe of Kate’s rages. 4 Student Life Finally, the long-awaited dis- missal bell signals the end of another round of classes. For most students and faculty, however, the day at school is far from over. Sweaters and ties, blazers, and skirts give way to sweats and shorts, hats and hel- mets, theatre T-shirts and jeans. Nearly any day of the week, the parking lot is well popu- lated from dawn to dusk. Most stu- dent population demonstrate that there is life after two o'clock. This involvement and dedication by so many individuals leads to success in all activities for the entire school. “Off Broadway” drama productions, not only performed by the students, but also under Mr. Alan Ksen’s direction, cos- tumed and choreographed, are always smash hits. Other events such as the potentially purse- draining fashion show, proms, ye Junior class marshalls, Mark Coogan and Daniel Ison prepare to lead the seniors to graduation ceremonies. In the girls’ line are Kim Aguiar, Wen- and school dances also get en- thusiastic support. There are, however, other aspects of student life which do not receive quite so much prin- ter's ink. As members of the Feehan community, we are well aware of our good fortune and do not hesitate to share with others. Thanksgiving baskets, overflow- ing with holiday goodies are pre- pared and distributed to needy families. Mercy missions in Hon- duras, the American Red Cross, the Oxfam collection for third world hunger have all benefitted by our contributions. In our local communities, we have even campaigned for possi- ble political big-wigs! A large por- tion of our students give of them- selves each day in their after- school and weekend jobs. We cover all the bases and sup- port one another in all that we do. Ours is a school which has chosen to live student life to the fullest. WE’RE IN CONTROL! dy Anderson, Julie Batista; in the boys’ line are Roger Alix, Christopher Alvarez, James Bibeault, Anthony Anzivino and Michael Amirault.
