nd some of us being branded with nicknames, like “Bonchcad” .k.a. Tim Kenney, or “Squash” a.k.a. Josh Scanlon. IE This year brought us the new experience of high school parties - right Gilly? We also started a steady schedule. It's amazing that any of us emorized how the numbers went. Gary Fagcrhicm and Paul uellette might still be upset about not being in the same homc- oom. In our sophomore year we were joined by Shannon Dooling, as nuch as she would like to deny it. We didn't see too much of Janice Bertolino this year. She was too usy hiding in the corner with Dave. Shari DiDonato. Jen Stewart, Tom Waters, and Gary Bosse kverc the prospects of our rebellious youth as they, along with the est of the marching band, stood up to the football team. David Douglas, Shane Marchand, Dave Woodcock, and Dave Thurston were all a part of this silly act in their so silly sophomore year. The real fun started in our junior year when the members of our class got their licenses. This brought us a chance to broaden our horizons by traveling to other towns and the privilege of being able !to go to the movies without mom or dad driving. 11th grade brought all of our hard work to a rewarding show with the junior prom. Our king was David Thurston and our queen was Heidi Burns. Of course all was ventured the day after the prom when Joan McMorrow openly invited us to her house on the beach: fortunately for her none of us made it there. Danielle McKay showed us her skills on how to work a convcrtablc. This was also the year Georgia Pintsopolous came out of her plosct, much to her mother's dismay. We were joined this year by Danielle McKay. Finally our senior year. This year we hosted Mikie Comitini and Keiko Tsuchiya, our exchange students. We were awakened every morning to the sound of Brendan Sheehan's cheerful voice over the P.A. We were also shocked to hear Tom Howie finally speak. This was the year of our senior ski trip. Fun was had by all who went. This was also the year we uncovered many hidden charcteris- tics of our fellow classmates. Scan Caulfield, a.k.a. Calcnderman, discovered he was a member of the superfriends. Krista Hankin. Amy McClellan, and Seann Daly left us in January to take the big responsibility of going to work. Many of our classmates took on a smaller responsibility by joining the work study program. Among those were Christine Radcliffe, Keith Rad- cliffe, Jeff Roman. Deb Gagliard. and Eric Johnson. Oh, the stories we could tell about our senior year. Some are better told by the person himself. Ask Ross Bracket why no one wants to park next to him, or Robyn Works how many studies she really has. And that old car of David Sjogren's, just how old that is, or Chris Carter and Tom Burke who really did the physics labs. Our high school years brought many friends together, like the friendship of Deb Maas and Dawn Gillis, which stayed true. We really didn't sec too much of Kristin Daly these four years. She could usually be found with a certain Xaverian boy. Thank you, Chrystync Diatelcvi and Amy Doliner 5

Class History of 1989 Well, here wc arc the class of 1989. It's June 8th, and it’s hard to believe that this is one of the last times we’ll be together as a class. This evening at 6:30 we'll be concluding our timeless and memorable journey through the Millis School System with our long awaited graduation. We have left many marks and made many memories that will stay with us for many years to come. It all started 13 long years ago in the year 1975. As we look back on the hazy sandbox years, the few memories we could recall were Kristian Carlson's newly acquired taste for arlroom paste, and Alexandra Ncitlich and Cassandra Hunt started boy watching at an early age in the boys' bathroom. As we started 1st grade, there was no turning back. Wc began our first year of full school days, thank God for the 2 recesses, in which we usually found Cassandra Hunt chasing Phil Cebrowski. “Melvin the Magnificent gave us a chance to try a bit of show bix. with scott Nichols as Melvin the magnificent clown. We still think you arc a magnificent clown Scott! This year wc gained Chris Fagan, only to lose Bob Martellio. Never fear, he’ll be back. This year wc welcomed Elizabeth Warren. Laura Dwclley. Tom O'Neil and Pamela Cronan who over came her shyness and show ed us her teaching abilities when she substituted for Ms. Bergen. Ms. Bergen threw up on the way in from recess. David Thurston will never forget the time Lisa Johnson stabbed him with a pencil in his arm. In 3rd grade we made our move to the Memorial School. We had graduated from cloakrooms to real lockers. This year brought us Michael Brown, Raymond Welch, and George Welch. Although they were a great addition to our class, wc couldn't quite make up for the recess wc lost in the transition. 4th grade was the big year for square dancing. Did anyone really like their partner? We were also given the privilege of playing an instrument and singing in the chorus. Who could forget our first singing experience in the 4th grade concert. In fifth grade wc welcomed Heidi Burns who will never forgej her first day in Millis, when Ronnie Anderson called her gorilll cookies. Mr. Ford's 5th grade economic unit had it’s ow n mafia, a her; lae Casucci decided to go into his own independent real estate. 6th grade was the year of our first over night school trip u Thompson's Island. Wc arc still wondering if Fred John son got seai home because he stole the puppies, or because he claimed to havi seen Alexandra Ncitlich's underwear. In 7th grade. Derek Everett and Krista Hankin were added u our class. Who could forget Mr. Dodge's english report when cvenoa researched Michael Jackson. 8th grade was a big year for all of us. We had finally made it n the top of the ladder in the Middle School. 8th grade dar.ee brought us a new style of dance when Kristian Carlson. Pete Sillctti. Scan Fitzpatrick. Tim O'Neil. Eric Johnson, and Miki Rousseau preceded to show us their break dancing abilities. Aim Thistle and Eve Bello had their own form of “breaking in tin science lab. This was also the year of our last field day. w hich was a memcra blc one for Heidi Burns, when running 100yd dash, tripped eve Lisa Cunningham, falling into the gravel. But she regained he confidence only to find herself in the same position after trippinj over the hurdles. Our horizons were also expanded by venturing out to Washing ton D.C. Jen Levy and Aimie Thistle w ill never forget they had u call Mr. Hinds in to their room to rescue them from their overflow- ing toilet. We welcomed Dya Khalsa, Erika Birch. Jen Stew art. Eric John- son, and Justine McGrath. Many of our classmates left us to attcac Tri-County or Xaverian. Our freshman year was the beginning of our high school c c! and began one long year as lowly freshmen. We endured ridicule
