éhamrocks-” In Tune with Student Life When the homework was done and recreation time rolled around, Feehanites invaded the community for miles around and the humdrum patterns of everyday life surrendered to the upbeat rhythms of spirited teens. There was no escape; the spirit burst through and took over young and old alike. From hanging out at the local Burger King to helping out in rest homes and other community activities, our message of getting in tune was spread alll Over Our area. The cynical and unspirited had no defense for our invincible army of felicitious feelings. Our soldiers could be found lounging around at local parks, cruising with friends down suburban roads, or working their hearts out at after school jobs. Even the arts were defenseless against our never-ending surge of spirit. The Feehan Theatre Company took the stage and conquered the audience in flawless productions. Our mission of high-spirited fun and peace for all was a smashing success. Hard work and goodtimes were combined to create a special feeling of being in tune unsurpassed by any other form of unity anywhere. But stragglers fear not! The mission goes on. Never missing a beat, Scott Jones scans the dance floor for his date. Hangin’ around after school, Christine Brunelli ee her little world in a walkman with Kara Has- ell. Student Life 5

Once. during the entire two weeks of chair pull- ing, she even complimented me on my performance. Needless to say, | was shocked! Next Bertha concentrated her energies on teaching me to dance.

However, she would only agree on one condition: that | would sprint to my chair the moment a fast song came on. | assured Bertha that | would, and we were a couple again.

We joined some of Bertha’s friends, Thelma and Heidi in the dining room where we enjoyed a delicious dinner of chicken and rice. The girls gabbed away, but | noticed that not many fathers were talking. Finally, they cleared the floor for dancing; | was almost paranoid that | would do every- thing wrong. The band was excellent — played mostly slow songs. On the few fast ones they did play, most of the fathers abandoned the dance floor so | did not feel like a loner.
