Dawn of New Year Brings Dark Ages To Life Quests did not end with the pass- ing of Knighthood. A knight (a Feehan student) is at one end of the second floor and his homeroom is at the other. The first bell has rung and his quest is to be in his homeroom by 8:00 A.M. - or face the con- sequences. This knight in shining armor, a waffle weave green blazer, begins to walk rapidly. Quickly say- ing hello, he journeys onward. Near- ing the business office he slows toa walk - after all, they frown on doing anything fast. He passes the office with two minutes to spare. He’s now halfway there - so close. But wait, it isn't, it couldn't be - yes, it is Mr. Servant coming out of a room. He sees the knight and stops. The knight is fond of Mr. Servant, but, boy, can he talk. With only seconds to spare he leaves, and the knight runs frantically toward his destina- tion. But it’s too late - the bell rings, the door slams, and he’s late on the first day of school. This poor knight's quest is over and he’s lost. Slowly he turns and walks to face the ugly con- sequences - a visit to Mr. Galligan. After hearing the knight's story about Mr. Servant, the Warden - ah, Mr. Galligan - gives him a pass and sends him off to homeroom. Arriv- ing at homeroom, the 5000 forms begin. Form after form - this is worse than applying to college. Next the real task begins - lockers. Numbers, partners, combinations, and art - no, not Van Gogh - Van Halen. Yippee, it’s yearbook picture time. Line up, straighten those ties, smile pretty for the camera, and leave. After yearbook pictures, the Ayatollah O’Boy comes on over the P.A. system and stretches two minutes’ worth of announcements into ten minutes. Did someone say he was a lawyer? Then a run of the first semester EXCELLENCE schedule begins. Ten minute classes to find out what books are needed. It's too bad that classes couldn't be like this everyday - they're SO,SO.....short. It's time for lunch - everybody’s favorite period. Finally,it’s Textbook Time with Sister Ricarda singing “It’s a beautiful day at Bishop Feehan’. Buying new books is always a lot of fun, although it does seem that people do more socializing than buying books. But as they say, “The essence of trade is in the talk”. At last the final bell rings, the waffle weaves are disposed of (both figuratively and literally), and students go home. However, in a different room in the Feehan castle, the Queen - Sister Mary Faith - sits on her throne and silently mutters to herself, “Thank God, there is only one first day of school every year.” Together, the Palin twins, Francine and Christine, anxiously search for their new locker. Freshman Steven Sapita serves as an altar boy for the opening of school. Dedicating the Walter Downarowicz Memorial, are S.M. Faith, Mrs. Teresa Down- arowicz, Mr. Robert Downarowicz, Father Caron, Father Burbank, and the faculty. School Daze 27
