What Is this — A Forced March? With comfortable walking shoes on and checkpoint sheets in hand, more than one thousand students and faculty members hit the streets for the second annual walk-a-thon. Those who couldn't walk helped run the checkpoints and refreshment stands. Those with extra energy put on their running shoes and ran the ten mile course. At the end of the walk we threw off our shoes and relaxed. Except for the band. They were still energetic, entertaining us 20 Walk-A-Thon Checking in at the 8-mile stop, Melissa Holan- der, Linda Taglione, Jennifer Healey, Mike Des- marais, Diane Ison, Kara Haskell, and Elizabeth pet wait anxiously to complete their ten mile rek. with their spirited son Ten miles? It certainly didn’t seem that long. A day with friends, food, and mu- sic made the time go faster. If was even worth all the trouble we went through Salle pledges to have a day off from school. We've got to admit, we had a lot of motivation to go out and get sponsors. Who could resist Sele a chance ata jeep in Feehan colors’? Or tickets to a concert? There were also cash prizes and gift certificates we tried to win. This helped us to raise over $16,500, helping lower the cost of tuition.

May Concert That certain feeling that comes with Spring is hard to put into words. It is a blooming melody sung in happiness, like a chorus or maybe even a concert band. Mr. Joseph Taylor, band director, conducted the Spring Concert with an air that left the audience feeling alive. The skills and versatility shown by the band, from the classical strains of “Over- ture in B Flat’ to the lively upbeat “Flashdance” was refreshing and truly impressive, but the talent did not stop there. The shining, professional sound of the Jazz Ensemble was the hit of the season. One couldn’‘t help but tap his toes and many people swayed like the breeze in their seats. Remember the feeling of elation that came on that first warm day of Spring; how it made you want to sing? Well, Ms. Saulnier did. She held the audience 22 Spring Concert “Springs” To Life Unison is the name of the game as Sean Caroll and Mr. Joseph Taylor combine their talents at the Spring Concert. spell bound with an irresistable version of “Evergreen”, appropriately enough, accompanied by the Ensemble. In addition to her solo, Ms. Saulnier, with the adult and student choruses gave a wonderful choral presentation. In their versions of selections from such plays as “Mame”, “Porgy and Bess”, “Camelot”, and “Funny Girl”, the char- acters could almost be visualized upon the stage. The evening was brought to a climac- tic close in the concert’s finale. The flags of the colorguard enhanced the passion expressed in Neil Diamond's “America”, which brought the audi- ence to their feet as applause rang through the auditorium. Everyone at Feehan that night concluded that to be “Evergreen” in “America” during Spring- time, was best of alll. Sweet sounds of harmony are radiated from the Adult Chorus.

After having played the saxaphone for only a few months, Michael Holmes’ musical versatility and skill enables him to get the honor of a solo in the limelight.
