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.

Catch that Fenwick Spirit When a heart, soul, body and mind un- ite, the product is spirit. When the hearts, souls, bodies and minds of Fenwick stu- dents unite, the spirit takes on an awe- some, classical quality. It becomes the Fenwick Spirit. The Fenwick Spirit moves mountains. On a crisp, September morning in 1984 the senior class did just that. Together we conquered the majestic Mount Lafayette. But throughout our years at Fenwick we climbed many other mountains. The Spirit that got us through the rocky and twisted trails of Fenwick is more powerful than any of us ever imagined. It is only now, as we, the Senior Class of 1 985, leave Fenwick to journey through the mountains and val- leys of Life that we truly realize the magni- tude of the Fenwick Spirit. We do know, however, that spirit is more than just climbing a mountain or showing up for a game. The Fenwick Spirit is distinguishable from others because it is during an ordinary day that it shines brightest. Whether it be tutoring an under- classman for National Honor Society, feeding a hungry child through the Thanksgiving Food Drive, or climbing to the peak of a mountain with Father Peter early on a Friday morning, Fenwick stu- dents show their spirit. Sometimes during these times we laughed, we cried, or we hollered. But always we cared, for each other, and for ourselves. And long after the Class of 1985 has left the Fenwick Community, our spirit will survive. For just as others gave their spirit to us, we have given a part of ourselves for future genera- tions to experience, and to love.
