Time: May 4, 1985 Setting: Last Period Students grumble as the noble says, “Homework tonight will be to create four potions and to rescue two maidens in distress.” B-B-O-N-N-G. Books slam shut, and the squires charge into the ancient, damp halls, cluttered with sweaters, books, and bodies. Amid the noise, an underclassman squire asks a friend, “Hey, Are you going to the ‘Sports Award Banquet’ tonight?” “Yes, | guess so, even though I’m swamped with homework.” “Great! What are we going to do? Do you know what we're going to eat?” the friend questions. The young squire picks up a load of books responding, “I’ve heard that field marshals of each team speak, and then recognize the talented knights who participated in some after-school activities. A program at the great banquet acknowledges every athletic squire for his her sportsmanship. The knights who earned their varsity letter Excitement of the evening is reflected in Michael Guerin, the recipient of the Gary Flynn award. Receiving his varsity letter in hockey and a warm handshake from Mr. Fagone is Andrew Gildea. After four years of excellent performances, drum major Michelle Pasquarose is honored by Mr. Taylor, band director. 24 Sports Award Banquet Night for Athletic Knights receive an award, while the other team members are noted for their participation.” “You've forgotten one of the main attractions. What do we eat?” “Chicken pie with all the fixings, along with hoodsies.” “Okay, I'll meet you outside the eating hall at six and a quarter hours. I’m only doing this for the hoodsies.” “I’m sure the King would be proud of your loyal devotion.” “Oh, | almost forgot. What are you wearing?,” he asks, opening an old wooden door to the sounds of horses’ hoooves and a clash of armor. “The announcement sheet said, Full armor for knights and royal gowns for all ladies of the court.’ I’m going to wear my brother's golden armor,” he yelled as the door slowly squeaked shut. Time: Evening of May 4, 1985 Setting: Eating Hall The question, “Could | have another hoodsie, please?,” is broached to a “moonlighting” freshman squire serving as a banquet waitress for the evening by a young figure dressed in a borrowed golden coat of armor.” “Thanks. Hey,” nudging a fellow squire with an elbow, “what's going on?” Somebody whispers, “The Gary Flynn Award is being presented. Be quiet.” Mr. Paul O’Boy, the King, introduces an alumnus, Donald Ouellette, who then presents one of the outstanding senior knights with the prestigious Gary Flynn Memorial Trophy. Michael Guerin is the proud recipient of the Flynn Memorial due to his leadership and athletic ability in sports. The Sports Award Banquet is completed. The senior knights continue into a realm of life, while a spirit of sportsmanship and school pride are enkindled in the future underclass knights.

Rags to Riches: My Fair Lady There were rumors in the air that Feehan might cancel its spring musical. But with only three weeks ahead of them, the FTC hung tight, determined to make “My Fair Lady” a rags to riches story in itself. “There’s just not enough time!” a voice shouted as a fury of cast and crew members dashed about the stage in preparation. When showtime arrived, the audience were given more than a show. From the moment the orchestra played the overture, the magic the show contained shone through. The musical numbers by the invisible orchestra were unbeatable. Such Broadway classics as “Get Me To The Church On Time” and “With A Little Bit Of Luck” electrified the theatre as the drunken Alfred Doolittle performed a staggering dance with his barstool buddies. The lowly flower girl, Eliza, fantasized about a better life in the unforgettable “Wouldn't It Be Loverly.” An unearthly silence fell as Professor Higgins realized his attachment to the a » oe Fe NA 8.8 a a Fee Ss A x » a ee rn SNS » creature whom he had turned into a Lady as he sang “I’ve Grown Accustomed To Her Face.” Despite the lack of time to prepare for the production, the acting was astounding. A blend of light comedy and sensitive drama is perhaps the most difficult style to perform, but the actors handled it with expertise. The characters were so believable that the audience soon forgot the performers’ true identity. What more could anyone hope for? Without a doubt, years from now when the FTC reflects upon “My Fair Lady,” they will be able to say with pride, “By George, | think she’s got it!” Concerned Colonel Pickering (Christopher Stanfa) places a discreet call to the police to find Eliza. Henry Higgins thinks she'll turn up momentarily. “Get me to the church on time.” Mr. Doolittle enjoys his last fling before he weds his “missus.” Saying farewell are Covent Garden people, Julie Silvernail, Pamela Mulcahey, Kelly Reed, Cheryl Riley, Mark Jones, and James Holmes. Getting the upper hand at last, Eliza tells Professor Higgins that she is going to marry Freddie Aynsford-Hill. My Fair Lady 23
