Saturdays to take competitive language and math tests. Any late night or early morning, computer students try to beat the clock to finish their programs. Our constant outstanding performances in sports resulted in receiving the Mulcahey Award for winning the highest percentage of games compared to any school in the area. We were also recognized by the Boston Globe for our great achievements in athletics. The Shamrocks dominiated their divisions so much that all of our teams were moved up to the next division. Nearly professionally acted plays, award-winning yearbooks and literary magazines, and the many competition trophies won by the band, chorus, and majorettes are just some of our accomplishments in the arts. There is a reason for Our success: Over eighty-five percent of the students are involved in after school activities. Ultimately, the spiritual level is what really makes the difference. Our faith can be witnessed by the way we pull together in times of need and tragedy. How many schools can honestly say that they reach their highest in ALL of these areas? We can: “Where the unusual is the usual!” yy Sitting down at a track practice is a big mistake, as Jamie Keiper found when other team members mistook him for a coat rack. Rain and sleet didn't seem to bother these faithful fans. Traveling to Boston on a school bus to watch the band, colorguard, and majorettes perform during the N.E.S.B.A. finals at Boston University, seemed like an adventure. Included in this sturdy bunch were Mrs. Lapointe, Mr. Santos, Mrs. Spadoni, P.J. Spadoni, Mrs. Boren, Mrs. Chartier, Mrs. Kelly, Mr. Chartier, Mr. Holmes, Sister Mary Faith, Sister Evangela, Michael Holmes, Mrs. Holmes, Mrs. Enright, Mrs. Greene, and Mrs. Riley. Theme Opening 3

Where the action is: everything we do, aside from organized activities, student life takes the bulk of our time. Why? No student wants to miss any aspect of Shamrock life. Possibly, that is the reason that dances, proms, socials, Masses, plays, and Homecoming games always have large attendance records. Fundraising events, such as the walk-a-thon, the magazine drive, and the Christmas Bazaar are good examples of the student involvement and interest in our school. We reach out to the community by donating Thanksgiving baskets and by our collections for Red Cross. Individual students also volunteer their time as candy ice Se of 2 = N PIR] BROS 9 stripers, CCD teachers, or Special Olympics coaches. Then there are parties — after school, weekends and summer, at home or at the beach. Students take a break from all this activity in two different ways. The first is the mandatory retreat day for each class; then there is the Echo weekend retreat. These days give us the ad Opportunity to get things back in perspective and focus on our relationship with God. Next, travelling during school vacations allows students to relax and experience a new culture. The life of our students is busy and fun-filled at the same time: “Where the unusual is the usual.” Theme banner for homecoming activities leads the parade and is carried by Annette Corriveau and fellow clowns. In the lead at Graduation are Marshalls Robert Healy and Nancy Gilmore. Student Life 5
