SENIOR CLASS HISTORY

FRESHMAN YEAR:

Our freshman year began at the Fall Festival, when the tradition of hazing freshman was still legal.
Quite confused and unorganized we somehow managed to elect class officers. President Jake Dubreuil,
Vice President Greg Lamothe, Secretary Ewa Jachimczyk and Treasurer Araina Muniz all worked
together with our newly appointed advisors Mrs. Carlson and Mr. Cournoyer. They put us to the test
for the first time on Thanksgiving. Striving for success at the Cournoyer homestead, we came up with
the idea of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Executive Board along with the Infamous Donut
Eating, Thursday morning, 7:00 a.m. sharp, although no punishments ever enforced to those tardy,
Advisory Board worked together to form a good collaboration of Thanksgiving paraphernalia. The
Class of 1994 dressed our guys in diapers, doing the "Carlo Worm" to see who would reign as Miss
Turkey for the next four years. In a close match, Jake Dubreuil wormed his way to the title. Spring
arrived with a new bone to pick: Spring Day. We rose to the occasion by threatening our peers to buy
freeze pops or the bear would get it!!! Finally we were ready to put our freshman year behind us.

SOPHOMORE YEAR:

Our Executive Board expanded with President Naeema Arrastia, Vice President Angela Aucoin,
Secretary Danielle Meunier and Treasurer Eleni Mandelenakis. Halloween was a real scare when our
boys becoming men decided to come to school wearing their tighty whities portraying the "Superjocks."
Football season started out on an alarming note when our Varsity Cheerleaders got arrested for showing
what Pioneer Pride really meant. On a more positive note, our class managed to work together with
the National Honor Society to put on a scrumptious Rigatoni and Meatball supper. We somehow
managed to increase our skit writing ability, and came up with The Wizard of Oz starring Joe as
Dorothy. Tragedy struck with the robbery of our beach towel money. The Prom Committee was started
with Mr. Cournoyer and the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

JUNIOR YEAR:

There was a fresh beginning for the Executive Board President Jake "The Great" Wayne, Vice
President Don Wise, Secretary Alexandra Vargas and Treasurer Elena Nina as they worked together
to change tradition. We began our junior year by finding our new home, MCA and MCB. With torn
jeans and dirt on our faces, we transformed ourselves into the Hillbillies. After receiving an undeserving
second place to two Jimmy Buffet fans in coconut bras our Advisors consoled us by saying we were
first place in their minds. Learning the tricks of the trade we began to work on the football concessions
with the seniors. The group consisted of about five dedicated and loyal 97'ers. We broke through the
shells by performing Yolk Fiction. With our upperclassman power increasing we took second place with
our President still asleep. With snow on the ground Mr. Cournoyer came up with the First Annual Way
Cool Ski Trip. We packed our bags and were off to four fun filled days at Smuggler's Notch. For our
final fund raiser before the prom, we decided upon a Yard Sale held in Mrs. Carlson's garage. Thanks
to Jake Wayne's wardrobe, it was a huge success. Our prom, Open Arms created new traditions and
ideas on how a REAL prom should be conducted. Rule number one — always have home made Rice
Krispy Treats. Rule number two — always be clear when telling the D.J. that the Prom Queen is
SUPPOSED to be a senior.

SENIOR YEAR:

We entered this school anticipating seven studies a day, school sanctions, and a calendar full of skip
days. What we really got were- school ID's a.k.a. mug shots, a security system and new telephones that
serve numerous purposes. We were led through our last year by President Jake Wayne, Vice President
Jackie Estrada, Secretary Jose Pena and Treasurer Greg Lamothe. What would the Class of 1997 be
like if we didn't have Pitch Tournaments? We're hoping Bonnie's contribution to our poster will be
acknowledged by the judges. This year our senior athletes strived to be more than just jocks. They beat
out their opponents and brought their records to a new and higher level. Coming together as a class,
we're making better decisions and closer friendships. Realizing our final voyage at Southbridge High
is coming to an end, we know now we'll never be forgotten as individuals and as a class. Goodbye SHS,
you'll miss us!!!!

Araina,

It seems just like yesterday that the Lord blessed us with
a little girl, a gem from heaven for us to cherish. You ' ve grown
up into a beautiful young woman. Through the years we
watched you grow up. Dealing with the obstacles that life
placed in your path, taking on responsibility and maturing.
You remind us of the ocean. Sometimes you were still and
patient, when you were waiting for your opportunity. Some-
times you were stormy and made a ruckus, when you were
making your own opportunity. Your determination (with all
your new challenges) remind us of the ocean waves because,
like you, with their persistence they can overcome even the
mightiest mountain.

We pray to God for His blessing for you. We hope and
pray that all your dreams come true and that all your successes
be far beyond your expectations.

We pray to God for His blessing for you. That He may
lead and guide you through life. Always remember your faith
in God, the love of your family, and true friends because they
are and should be the foundation of your support.

We love you very much and are very proud of you.

Dad and Allison

We have watched you grow
from a sweet little boy to an ex-

Congratulations and best of

much.

In Memory Of

Mr. David Byron

Mr. Byron served as a science and computer teacher at Southbridge
High School from 1 970 to 1996. His influence went beyond the school.
His kindness affected many of the students and faculty of our commu-
nity. His work as a dedicated education professional will live on in the
hearts of all who knew him. We are honored to have known him and we
will miss him.

Couture, and Toni Colognesi. Senior portraits were taken by Studio 1, Village Photo, and
Southbridge Photo; underclassmen portraits were taken by Life Touch Studios. The
principle photography company was Studio 1. The cost of the yearbook, including the
