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

ONE LAST TIME I've been to this soecial mass three times before. This time it’s for me. The security of Feehan must be left behind, for the future looms on the horizon. | had sO many good times here, now they are just memories. The ill-fitting academic gown is now mine. | must be the one to walk down the aisle without showing my regret at hav- ing to leave. Just when things had been oing so good and | had finally eamed the respect of the underclassmen and sealed the bonds of friendship, it is time fo move on, and start over again. There will be a lot of hugs, foo many goodbyes. This final mass will be one of our last times together as a class. The young adults marching in green and white gowns have no resemblance to the wild rambunctious Freshmen | started High School with. All things must change and move on. Our class tree will be planted and left behind like sO many classes before us. But as each class was, each tree is different and unique. Our friendships, pain, and accomplishments will remain forever within its roots. 26 Class Day
