Feehan had its very own radio station maintained and operated by the Feehan community. Sounds of Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, and the Stones could be heard over the general cafeteria noise during the lunch hours. The radio station brought communications experience to aspiring youngsters, a sense of independence, and responsibility. Every record played was introduced and spun by a Feehanite. Run by the student council, it was an asset to everyone’s lunch. What a great idea! Just 12 years ago you could have been DJ for Feehan’s own WBFH. Student Life 5

“Will we place?” wonders Julie DiMartino as she glances at the other competing squadsin the stands. sie J Ms JORE? Majorettes in the Spotlight Stuffed bear mascots peered down from the bleachers, adding good luck to the excitement of the day. The gym was hardly recogni- zable with paper shamrocks, streamers and balloons decorating the walls above the bleachers. On this occasion the New England Majorette Competition was hosted by Feehan on March 23, 1986. The majorettes and their parents along with Mrs. Loiselle, moderator, put time and energy into preparing yet another successful competition. Anticipation mounted as specta- tors anxiously awaited the moment when our majorettes would strut out, flash their smiles and twirl to the beat. Varsity open class in spark- ling gold vests and flaring white Skirts danced and twirled to the mesmerizing magic of “Jump and The great majorette competition is about to begin! Mr. Loiselle holds Robert while Mrs. Loiselle holds Anne Marie. Dance Electric.” Junior varsity class A twirled and exercised to “Physical” in fitness attire. Junior varsity class B portrayed cheerleaders as they strutted to “Let’s Hear It for the Boy.” In open class, New Bedford placed first, Middleboro second, and Apponequet third. Austin- Apponequet placed first in class A, Dennis-Yarmouth second and Norton third. Everyone enjoyed themselves as they relaxed and marveled at the exceptional perfor- mances. Our squads did well. However, as this was varsity’s first year in open class and junior varsity moved up to class A, they did not place. Said one majorette, “With a little more prac- tice and more support, we're sure to come out on top again.” ' Varsity and junior varsity majorettes antici- pate the awards ceremony.
