striding Toward Victory Bishop Fenwick High School is more than just one step ahead of the other schools in the Catholic conference. We have managed to win the prestigious Nason Award for the last five of six years. This award honors schools for overall out- standing performance in sports. One reason why we do so well in the compe- tition for this honor is the diversity of our sports program. For a school of less than 1,000 students, Fenwick fields an amaz- ing number of varsity, junior varsity, and freshmen teams for both boys and girls. This fall 379 student-athletes partici- pated in the various sports. The gym, playing fields, and even the parking lot and corridors are filled with athletes every day from 3:00 until after dark. There truly is something for everyone who wants to participate in a sport at Fenwick. Another ingredient in our success is the coaching staff, a dedicated group of men and women consisting primarily of teacher-coaches. Some teachers coach only one sport a year, while others, like track coach John Farley, coach during the entire school year. All coaches choose this activity because of their expertise and love of both the sport and the participants. A third reason for success is teamwork and leadership. The team captains are expected to set good examples both athletically and academically. They take their duties seriously on the field and in the classroom. Says Athletic Di- rector James McHugh, “We ' ve made a commitment to sports, along with academics. They go hand in hand. Typical of Fenwick ' s achievements is the record for the Fall 1987 season. Of our eight varsity sports, we captured two league titles and were in second place in two others. In addition three of our four teams qualified for the Eastern Massachusetts Tournament. Is there an- other Nason Award in ?ight for 1987- 1988? Clockwise: Suiting up. Christopher Hoffman dons his practice uniform. Side by side.

step Into The Real World! No matter where we go on the North Shore, we are likely to see Fenwick students hard at work. For many, work is an important part of life. Jobs provide a source of income and a place for social interaction, whether it be with customers or co-workers. Many students need to work in order to pay s chool expenses while others chose jobs primarily for ex- perience or enjoyment. Jobs provide another place to grow. Students discover how to balance their work schedules with school, sports, and social activities. On the job, employees assume new responsibilities, learn new skills, and become adept at getting along with each other and with customers, both friendly and hostile. In the workplace, students also meet new friends and experience success in a practical way. Fenwick students have many different jobs. Each has the job of being a full- time student, but the ' ' extra-curricular job market is diverse mainly because students interests are as different as their reasons for seeking employment. Student are employed in a variety of positions. Patrick Kulakowski works as a short-order cook at the J.B. Thomas Hos- pital while Lisa Scioli is a member of the Jordan Marsh Junior Council. We work in as many places as we live, from Ipswich, where Michelle Gates works as a hair- dresser ' s assistant for Renate ' s Hair De- sign, to Gloucester, where Yankee Fish- ing Fleet employs Matthew Earl as a maintenance helper. Today ' s teenagers are determined to succeed in jobs, to have the satisfaction of earning their own money, and to learn how to budget their time. Fenwick students especially have the spirit that drives them to succeed in school as well as in the working world. Clockwise: Hot off the grill. John Taylor does it all for you. — At your service.
