We are one The meaning of the Fenwick Experience comes alive every year during the Freshmen-Senior Buddy Day in October. This year ' s Buddy Day was no differ- ent. We met that day for only the second time, yet we behaved as if we were old friends. From the start we became the Fenwick Family. Together we formed a BF on the football field symbolizing our unity and love for each other and for our school. Then we celebrated mass together. The specialness and one- ness of our faith and of our friendship was evident during the Sign of Peace which was expressed in the Fenwick tradition: with bear hugs. After the mass, it was on to games and lunch. The winners of the games were not rewarded with prizes but rather with a spirit that comes from working together for a common goal. What we have here at Fenwick between the four classes is rare. The hugs we shared at the Buddy Mass are repeated at numerous masses held during the school year. The friendships formed on these special days set aside for the family truly make us one. W ' J y • fvvll l m 1 jTr VVJM

We are strong in mind When it comes down to it, academics are the reason that we attend Bishop Fenwick. However, it isn ' t just course content that we will carry away with us, but also the memory of teachers who are more than sources of information — they are friends who care. Many of us will remember turning Room 322 into an Asian teahouse, and who but Sister Joseph Leo could convince seniors that calculus can be funP When it comes to research, we have all witnessed the miracles that Brother Fred can perform. Our teachers also go that extra mile by planning field trips that reinforce what we have learned in the classroom. We have enjoyed Shakespeare at the theater, studied govern- ment firsthand in Washington, D.C., practiced our French verbs in Paris and even ordered helado at Treadwell ' s. While we may never need E = mc 2 or the conjuga- tion of etre, we will hold fast in our hearts the memory of teachers who not only educated our minds but also our souls.
