As if to prove our supremacy, we won the sword game against Chicopee High and returned the sword to its rightful place. We are the class of the millennium. We have been changing for the better every year, and the changes that these past four years have had on us will help us as we enter the real world. We have matured and learned from our experiences.

The past four years were filled with Katie Demers chilling in the tons ofmemories such as having to stand out in the bathtub on a hot summer cold for what seemed like ten-thousand fire drills in day. our freshman year. Sophomore year started off a shirt tradition that would carry through to our senior year. In ourjunior year we came only 82 points away from beating the seniors in Spirit Week and spent tons of money on Oodles of Noodles to do it. And finally senior year, the list is way to long. So all there is to say is The Class of 2000 is TOO GOOD FOR YOU! We are the spirited class of the Millennium. As we walked through the doors of Comp on the first day of school freshman 11TH: Gary Perreault acting year, we all came with the same feeling ofbeing goofy in Chem class, but then nobodies in a world of somebodies. Now when we go again isn’t he always! off into the world, whether it be college or the work force, we will all feel the same insecurity as the first day of freshman year. But there are a few differences! We’ve made some of the most special friendships that we will remember forever, we have achieved the base of an exceptional education at C.C.H.S., and last but not least, We Are The Future! So remember one thing on the first day ofyour future; with every end there is a beginning, but you will never forget the past. Memories don’t go awayjust because we do.
