-BRAIN? You ' d also be wrong to assume anything from this picture. At any other school, it would be safe to label this girl a brain. But again, allow me to remind you, this is Minnechaug. Granted, Kellie Paluck is ranked third in her class, has a grade point average of 4.3, and has taken eight honors courses in the last four years. In her sophomore year, Kellie won the English Writing Award, and on December 12 of this year, won early acceptance to Bos- ton College. Kellie defines the word brain, but not the stereotype. As well as being smart, Kellie is also an achieved athlete. She has been a member of the Softball team for the past four years, as well as the basket- ball team, and has been a basketball captain for the past two. She was also a member of the soccer team her sophomore year. And if that isn ' t enough acheivement, after only one year of karate, Kellie is already a red belt. Kellie has broken every rule of being a brain. She wouldn ' t be from Minnechaug if she didn ' t. And besides, what kind of brain con- siders biking and tennis hobbies? A Minnechaug brain does. :£P STUDENT LIFE V

jock? Sure, looking at this guy you automatically think jock, or most likely, dumb jock. At any other school, you ' d be right nine times out of ten. But this isn ' t any other school. Granted, Bryce Whit- ing, although only a sophomore, has been a key member of the basketball team as well as the varsity football and lacrosse teams. These credits more than qualify Bryce as a dumb jock. Fortunately, this is Minne- chaug, where a typical jock isn ' t al- ways so typical. Bryce is the presi- dent of the Class of ' 90, a member of the National Honor Society, a mem- ber of the School Improvement Council, and a school tutor for alge- bra. Pretty impressive (for a jock)! If that isn ' t hard enough to believe, Bryce also plans to attend college — for reasons other than athletic. He has actual interest in the sciences. Although Bryce is a prime example of how unique Minnechaug is, we can ' t break tradition completely. Ru- mor has it that Bryce is a big heavy metal fan. To quote the words of a true jock, The Aerosmith concert was awesome. STUDENT LIFE

PREDICTIONS! Twenty years from now, when we are heading into our for- ties, we will be looking back to our past and relishing the memo- ries we have collected of our years at the ' Chaug. Our adolescent dreams may or may not have come true, and some may have changed all together. It is interesting to consider where we predict our futures will take us as compared to where reality actually does. So, when the year 2008 rolls around, all you Minnechaug alumni can grab your 1988 yearbooks and go back to the future to see if your pre- dictions were correct. Think about your own kids, who ' ll probably be in high school, and remember; When you ' re an undergraduate you ' re a part of Minnechuag. After gradu- ation, Minnechaug is a part of you. Jennifer Joyce: I ' ll be done with law school and hopefully have a law firm. Karen Cerasa: I ' ll be slinging spa- ghetti at the restaurant. Dan Manseau: Where will I be? Probably here ... Andrea Cechile: I ' ll be married, president of my own company and throwing executive parties. Heather Rothschild: I ' ll be a court stenographer making millions of dol- lars. Robert Campbell: I ' ll be one of the best hip hop DJ ' s in New York City. Junior Rob Williams takes the light side of life as he jokes in the library. Senior Michele Kowalski gives a look of shock as she thinks of her future with junior Michael Pietryka looking on. 28 STUDENT LIFE
