A Change of Pace Fenwick is not the same school it was four years ago. Since the class of ' 88 entered Fenwick as freshmen, many changes have taken place in Fenwick ' s atmosphere, fao- ulty, curriculum, and even the building itself. The most drastic change in daily life at Fenwick has been this year ' s introduction of uniform school sweaters. Although somewhat controversial, the adaptation to the sweaters was quicker and easier than expected. The last two years have brought an influx of new teachers. Every department has at least one new member, bringing a fresh in- fluence to classes and many new faces in the halls. While we will miss our old friends among the faculty who have left, we wel- come our latest ones. Along with the new teachers came two new departments: Campus Ministry and De- velopment, whose goals are to improve the religious and financial aspects of our school, respectively. The most notable change in the cur- riculum has been the introduction of Ad- vanced Placement courses. Every depart- ment exoept Business and Religion now has one AP oourse, designed as college credit for students who excel in a certain aca- demic area. Changes have also occurred in the school building itself. The largest structural improvement was the addition of an entire wing of classrooms now called the Lectures. Also, when we entered Fenwick the Chemis- try labs were over twenty years old. Last summer they were completely updated with modem equipment. Now soienoe students will be able to perform a wider variety of ex- periments. The locker rooms were also renovated last summer by Mr. Soucy and the Pigskin Club. We have new lockers, benches, and floors, affording our athletes a better environment in which to improve their skills. Along with new facilities, Fenwick ' s athletic program has expanded to include a new Boy ' s Swim Team and Basketball Cheerleading Pep Squad. The changes which Fenwick has under- gone have not altered the family spirit for which Fenwick is renowned; rather, they have simply improved the Fenwick experi- ence. CRUSAI3ERS Clockwise: Now.
