2 THE THEME

Michael Donnelly,

Lauren Margolis,
Alyssa Kane,
Nicole Curtis,
Gina Angiolillo For Pfco^nw^tip, ^'Simply Classic/' we decided to return
4q the idCa-ofa mi)r^^ditional yearbook, while at the same
Allan Wang,
Alex Legocki time adding an original flare. The goal of this publication is
to be, as the title suggests, simple and classic. We also wanted
a theme that was able to relate back to the school itself, and
effectively portray each class as its own, classic story by high¬
lighting each individual grade's uniqueness.
With a return of the theme to a more elegant design, the
yearbook strives to be simply classic: "simple and classy" as
well as "classic, no more; just as simple as that." It is to have
class, be classy, and be classical. To take the title at face value,
one would expect a classic, traditional book preserving this
year's memories experienced by the students; the classic high
school tale told through a timeless masterpiece. Delving a
little deeper, the book strives to be classy. Not only does
it preserve the memories but it does so with elegance and
style.

In another play on words, within the High School there are
opposite page:
many meanings of the word "class." There is the upper class
Craig Lynch,
and under class, a class as a grade and even more specifically,
Kym Obusek
a subject class (e.g. math class). Most meaningfully, the term
Rupal Bhakta,
"class" means "group" which is what Weston High School
Meg Srinivasan,
is all together: a class of its own.

THE THEME 3
J
Benja: a beloved son, admired brother, and trusted friend.
Benja and his father were caught in a mudslide in August of 2000 in Switzerland and passed away.
Benja swam on the same swim team, played the same computer games, watched the same movies,
and hung out with the same kids as many. He could always make people smile. He would quote
or reference some obscure book that would answer the question under discussion. He was always
willing to lend a helping hand.
Benja cared. He was a dependable, consistent source of comfort and friendship for many. He always
had a smile on his face. He will be missed by everyone who knew him.
A story often repeated on the swim team goes as follows: A coach once asked Benja what stroke
he wanted to swim on the medley relay. Benja responded, “I like them all. Let the other three kids
choose, and HI take whatever is left.” Benja was wise beyond his years, responsible beyond his
grade, and respectful beyond his peers. He will be missed.

DEDICATION 5
Franz Kafka wrote, 'The meaning of life is that
it ends/' Being aware that my career as a public
school educator would end following this
school year has heightened my appreciation
for every day. Students at Weston High have
confirmed my optimism and have inspired
me to match their ideals. A good community
is one where people value and support each
other, have opportunities to engage in their gifts
and passions, and are challenged to expand
comfortable limits. Weston High is such a
place. I am grateful for the rich and wonderful
experiences the 2005-06 school year presented.
I have been going to school every year since
September of 1953 and cannot imagine a better
place to finish my formal schooling. It has been
an honor to serve as your principal.

Mr. Desaulniers performs many important administrative duties
for the Weston High School, but the students have also come to
know him as he offers a more personal side to the office. Often
times, he shows his support for the students at sporting events,
concerts and theater productions. He is also known for greeting
the students students before school in the early morning, with his
coffee mug, even in the cold and windy weather.
