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.

Innocently, Coach David Curtis accepts a sur- prise oy from the Girls’ Spring Track team pre- sented by Lauren Wegerct, as Sister Mary Faith Harding cheers her on. Out of This World “Sir, we have interrogated our alien prisoner. He is from Feehan. A program entitled ‘Sports Award Banquet’ was found in his pocket.” “Lieutenant, do go into further detail about this incident.” “To be precise, sir, on the evening of May 29, 1984, we observed a large crowd gathering in a parking lot outside of a place called Bishop Feehan High School. Everyone was dressed either in skirts or sportscoats. Nobody left the building until three hours later, which is about fifteen gratnums. We decided to investigate this occurrence to see if it was some sort of worldwide phe- nomenon. A creature was waiting outside so we brought him aboard. When we interro- ated him, we found out much informa- tion that we did not have about their customs. He said the Sports Award Ban- quet was a time when the athletes in all of the school’s sports were honored. It was sponsored by Mr. Walter Downar- owicz. The sportsmen dined on chicken Pics and hoodsies, a type of dessert. hen, one by one, the coaches stood up to the microphone. A microphone is a long, thin piece of metal which in- creases the volume of the speaker's voice by making them speak louder. The coaches said a little to the team and also spoke on behalf of the team. Then awards were passed out to the athletes who achieved their letters. Those that did not receive their letters were acknowledged by their coach. The highlight of the get-together was the presentation of the Gary Flynn Me- morial Trophy. It was given to a person who showed both leadership and ath- ae Ability. Peter Lindstrom was the recip- ient. The program lists all of the athletes in each spor. People keep these pro- grams to remind them of friends on their sports teams and to remind them of mo- ments shared while being on their team. Our prisoner says this is a yearly tradi- ion.” “This should be passed on to our super- iors. This unusual Custom shows a unique side to these creatures, not unlike our own. This must be looked into. Very well, Lieutenant. You are dismissed.” All in fun — Coach David Curtis enjoys his gift, while Holly Armstrong assures Sister Mary Faith Harding it is only a joke. 24 Sports’ Award Banquet
