Water Ban Fails To Dampen Spirits Extra, extra, read all about it. The city of Attleboro imposes a water ban. Ah, who cares? We’re a school. We don’t use that much water anyway. Read the paper, file it in the circular file. But, wait! Here it is June 1 and the an- nual Pancake Breakfast — Car Wash is only days away. What are we going to do? We can’t hold a car wash without water. Maybe we can use the water from the convent swimming pool, somebody suggests. Unfortunately, it wasn’t even filled yet. Well, maybe we could try to have the water ban repealed, at least temporarily. That was easier said than done. First, we called the mayor. The interest of the ma- jority triumphs over the interest of the mi- nority, he told us. Let’s try Governor Du- kakis; not in, probably on the campaign trail. Well, there was only one authority left, the President. He was too busy cut- ting the deficit, policing the Persian Gulf, sending aid to the Contras and replacing axed Supreme Court nominees. Where are his priorities? How many people can fit in a Dodge Omni? Football players that are willing to give it a try include Daniel O’Neil, Ravi Vaithinathan, David Jolin, Mark Nelson, Joseph McLaughlin, Jason Bibeault, Richard O’Connor, Sean Coady, Glen Lindstrom, Robert Bannon, Dennis Brennan and Matthew Miga, Eric Riendeau, Ronald Picard and Trevor Shaw. 28 Pancake Breakfast The day of reckoning was at hand. There was still no water for a car wash, but that didn’t stop Feehanites and fam- ilies alike from piling into the cafeteria to enjoy the Pancake Breakfast. Aside from the water ban, everything else was fairly routine. Mr. Gagnon and Mr. Paul O’Boy still supervised kitchen crews. Sausages and pancakes were still cooked by the football players. As usual, Mr. Joseph O’Boy was reading his Sunday Boston Globe (he considers that the eleventh commandment). Sister Ricarda’s annual rummage sale continued. There were a few new twists to the morning. John Mcintyre desperately tried to peddle twenty-fifth anniversary tee- shirts for $5. The Secret Service made an appearance, demanding to know who had written to President Reagan. And cars were washed after all. No, the water ban wasn't repealed. We cheated a little. In- stead of washing the whole car, we just washed windows. We did manage to raise the average amount of money, though. We charged full price!! Are they getting dishpan hands? Coach Paul O’Boy, Charles Tramontana are taking their turns — washing and drying the dishes.
