Connor Cranston Work hard and give em hell. My father has been saying this to me for as long as I can remember. Whether it has been on the ice rink or in the classroom, they have been good words of wisdom. I feel that coming to The Winch has changed me as a person. l have met a ton of new people and made great new friends. I did not really know what to expect in the first few weeks but, once I got settled in, I realized how lucky I was to be here. I owe it all to my family. My parents have worked so hard to guide me and give me things that they have never had. They have taught me that sometimes in life you have to go through rough times to make it to the other side. I would like to thank all of my family, friends, past teachers, coaches, and the faculty of The Winchendon School for their guidance and support. The time I spent in Winchendon School was the two years that impressed me the most. Not only because I learned English here, but also because I studied part of my life here. It also reminded me it's a place worth being thankful for. Thanks to my homestay mother, Ms. Harrington, thanks to my math teacher Ms. Van and thanks all the teachers in Winch, this big family. I will miss the snow here. 'Ok Q

Thomas A. Coneys, Jr Walking up the steps, opening the first and then second door, I entered a room where it seemed everyone was looking at me. That was just my nerves. This was the first time I'd been at Winchendon, and I hoped it would not be my last, but it was the first of many days of nervousness and getting acclimated to Winchendon. Soon I realized how much I liked it, even with Mrs. Blair for English. Now that my time at Winchendon is coming to a close, I do not feel sorrow but rather appreciation for how much this school helped me grow. Thank you Winchendon. My time at Winchendon has been a very good one. I have had an unbelievable amount of laughs with my friends, something I will never forget. Believe it or not, most of these memories come from the hours spent on the tiny Winch buses that transport us to games hours away. To this day the phrase we're getting pizza is one that will be engrained in my head forever. Talking with my teammates about things that boredom brings about is something that I will always look back and laugh at. ...Sl 'rr tif I 'Ni'

Alexis Doody I can't believe it's finally over! The four years of high school I once dreaded are gone in the blink of an eye. I never thought I would say that I am somewhat sad my time here is over. I will never forget my time at The Winchendon School. Looking back on the last four years of my life I realize I should have made the switch to The Winch long before I actually did. I will never forget the two great years I had at this school nor will I forget the people I have met. I have to give a shout out to my family, without my parents I never would have had the opportunity to come to this school. I love you guys. To my friends, you guys shaped me into the person that I am today, and I never would have made it through these last four years without you supporting me the whole way! As I begin this new chapter in my life, the memories I have in and out of school will remain with me. Congratulations class of 2012, we did it!
