YO DJ PUMP THIS PARTY!!!


As a stay at home mother Megan (Hehir) Marshall has a lot of free time on her hands. Over the past year she said she has discovered why she is here on this earth: to clean the dishes and do the laundry.

But when she is not doing the chores she said she has been exploring her love for music. “At the end of the day when all is said and done I keep returning to the greatest artist of all time: CLAY AIKEN,” she said with tears in her eyes.

Due to her unrequited love for this man, Meggady has lobbied her class president to play CLAY AIKEN’S entire criterion collection at our reunion.

And your class president has complied. “I’m not dumb. I listen to the people. If it’s CLAY AIKEN they want, then it’s CLAY AIKEN they will get,” Chico said in a press release.

So put your dancing shoes on everybody. On Saturday, November 27 we will be playing CLAY AIKEN and CLAY AIKEN only throughout the entire Sweet 16 Reunion.

REUNION LOCATION ANNOUNCED!


As many of you know by now Dave Wuth purchased a home in December with the sole purpose of donating it to the Class of 1994.

Today he finalized the paperwork, recorded the quitclaim with the registry of deeds in Worcester, and lastly executed a fiduciary habendum clause on the insurer to ensure there is no lineal dispute with probate.

This means THE BEST CLASS EVER is now the co-owner of the property. “It’s Christmas come early for us,” Dave Wuth told FOX News as tears came down his face. “The Class o’ 94 is now in the property management business. We own all the records so I figured it was time we start owning all the homes and business units in the Wachusett district. We are one step closer to that goal.”

Wuth will remain as the primary tenant, but any classmate will be able to stay the night or weekend in our home (pictured above) as long as Wuth is given 24 hours notice. “I will always lay out blankets for you,” he said.

Over the past six months Wuth has fixed up the home with one goal – to host our SWEET 16 reunion in November.

“I think it’s ready,” Dave said. “But people should be careful of the nails protruding from the floorboards, dead rats in the living room and brown water from the tap.”

Other concerns for those attending our reunion:

  • There is no heating, but Wuth hopes to have one working electrical outlet to plug in a portable heater UNLESS the DJ needs it for his gear.
  • There is no bathroom, but a portion of the admission price MAY be used to pay for a Porta John unless people want to just go outside. “I may just clear a path to the woods so people can go to the bathroom there,” Wuth said.
  • There is probably enough room to fit 7 people safely so people will have to spend most of their time in their cars.
  • Be careful of the trap door at the front entrance. It is a 15 foot drop and there is no way to get people out of there.
  • Attendees will need to wear a mask or respirator due to the exposed asbestos throughout the home.

“Other than that people should be fine,” Wuth said. “I’ll see everybody in November.”

CLASS DOCUMENTARY IN THE WORKS!!

(ABOVE: Andrea Ajemian on the set of her newest movie “Boyband: Breakin’ Through in ’82” with actor Michael Copon. Since finishing the movie Andrea has announced she will become the official videographer of the Class of 1994)

Earlier this morning the Class of 1994 inked Andrea Ajemian to a five-year deal in the mid-six figure salary range that will lock up Ms. Ajemian as the class’ first ever videographer.

An emotional Andrea fought back tears, blowing her nose into a tissue nine times before regaining her composure and calling this the proudest moment of her life.

For Andrea, who has multiple films to her credit including the soon to be released “Boyband” as well as “Still Green” (2007) and “Rutland, USA” (2002), the move comes as a shocker.

While her strength is in narrative features, she said, “this just makes so much sense. I’ve never been associated with anything like your class, something that people consider the best ever. This will challenge my abilities like never before and tap into a creative nerve that I’ve never been able to reach.”

She will follow the achievements of our class, starting chronologically from 1989 when many of our members – from Coyle to Cocozella – were in eighth grade and undecided in where they would be heading to high school.

While the pinnacle of the documentary will be our graduation when Dr. Pandisco proclaimed us the best there ever was, there ever is and there ever will be, Andrea will continue to show how our class has maintained that status up to the present, with the goal of producing a 94 episode series documenting our rise to the top.

Andrea, who graduated in 1993 from Wachusett, admitted she was contacted by her fellow classmates, but declined what she called an insulting lowball offer to document their mediocrity.

“Plus, my class is a bunch of frauds and cheats,” she said, pointing to the time they used #3 pencils instead of the required #2 pencils on the PSAT’s in 1992 as a prime example. “The Class of ’94 would never do that. Never has your class been derelict in its duties.”

Her brother, Mark, who has repeatedly disrespected our class with his lackadaisical attitude and disgusting facial hair pulled at Andrea from a different direction. He wanted her to become the official videographer of his class – the overrated and underperforming Class of 1995.

“I just laughed in his face,” Andrea said of that request. “The Class of’95 is a lightweight in a heavyweight’s division. They want all the glory, but will make none of the sacrifices necessary to get them there.”

Andrea said the tentative title for the documentary will be: “Go. Fight. Win.”

In addition to compiling archival footage, Andrea will interview some of the class greats like Chico Vader and focus on his 1993 speech to secure the class presidency against the dirty politics of Lisa Cederbaum.

One episode will focus on the bass fishing rivalry between brothers Doug and Dave Laidlaw that was so intense it almost split the class apart if it were not for the French interventionist tactics of Nathalie Garcia.

There will be never seen before footage of Amy “The Nerks” Nerker brushing her hair in the purple hallway while Renee Roy paints her fingernails. “It really is some exciting stuff,” Andrea said.

In one emotional moment, Jouni Harjuunma sings the Swish national anthem before the start of the 1994 Volleyball Marathon. Andrea has purchased the rights to that video and will be dissecting it from the socio-political climate of the time. “Only a few years earlier the Berlin Wall had come down in Germany and here you have Jouni singing this anthem. The parallels are amazing. It is just a powerful political statement to the rest of the world,” Andrea said.

Lori Ronayne has promised to unveil the secret behind her ability to hold her breath underwater for 94 seconds while Liz (Morrison) Singh will explain the mathematical formula she discovered that proves everything is divisible by 94.

Choosing a favorite scene or moment from our past 16 years will be difficult. “When I see all that your class has accomplished I shake my head and cry,” Andrea said. “I cry because I know we will never see anything like your class again. And it is my duty to make sure that future generations learn from your excellence by making the best documentary ever.”

SWEET 16

(ABOVE: Chico is surrounded by members of the undefeated, 13-0, WRHS football team that won the Superbowl this season. During the two-day leadership conference Chico taught the team about what it takes to be a winner.)

Last year many expected our class to celebrate 15 years of greatness. But 2009 came and went with a whimper and without even one gathering of class members. That is when the whispers began to mount, turning into a freight train of rumors that continue to gather steam:

  1. The Class of 94 lost its edge and went soft.
  2. Cederbaum and her band of thieves were up to no good, sabotaging all efforts for a reunion.
  3. The economy finally showed a chink in The Best Class Ever’s armor and forced their hand. There was even talk that Chico had made some bad investments on behalf of our class with Bernie Madoff, losing millions of dollars that would have been spent on our reunion on things like chocolate cake and napkins.
  4. 30/30 – headed by Marsilly, Moler, Pluffe and Gorsinski – had kidnapped Chico, Bradshaw and Rettig to humiliate our class leaving us without the leadership necessary to organize a 15 year reunion.
  5. Chico had gone into hiding in the Himalayas after assassination attempts on his life increased twenty-fold.

All of this is hogwash.

The Class of 1994 is stronger than ever. And just when the doubters thought we were done we have come out on top once again.

And we are back. With a vengeance.

2010 IS THE YEAR OF 1994.

Last month Chico led off a two-day Leadership Conference with that statement stunning the pundits with his bravado.

At the conference he spoke to today’s youth, including current Wachusett students, showing them how to reach the pinnacle of success – using OUR CLASS as the model.

At the end of the conference there was a question and answer session where members of the 2009 undefeated WRHS football team that won the Superbowl against Holy Name, 34-0, pulled no punches.

They asked Chico point blank: “If your class is supposedly the best why didn’t you have a 15 year reunion this year? You guys are all talk. No action.”

Chico’s response? “We didn’t have a 15 year reunion because we are having a SWEET 16 in 2010. No one will see it coming. In effect we will hit the competition when they least expect it. And there will be no recovery. Boo Yaa.”

The crowd went nuts and the WRHS football team carried Chico 9.4 miles down Main Street in Holden chanting “94! 94! 94!”

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!


The Best Class Ever wants to extend its best wishes – remember those wishes are better and more powerful than any other class – to all for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Our totals for the drive included over 20 bags of donations and $565 in monetary donations.

Major kudos – and our sincere thanks – go out to the following who contributed, both big and small (this is not all inclusive as many donated without leaving their names so we apologize in advance if we’ve left anyone off):

  • Jodi Briggs
  • Murray Bristol

As far as the internal competition: the Class of 1995 won “The Greatest Class Ever” title which is good for one year until the next food drive.

And Adam Lein, Jill (Fortin) Zelley and Katie “Caribbean Queen” O’Connell have won free admission into The Best Class Ever’s next reunion. Stay tuned in the next few days to find out when that will be.

4TH ANNUAL HOLIDAY DRIVE FOR THE WACHUSETT FOOD PANTRY

It is that time of year again – time for our annual holiday drive for the Wachusett Food Pantry.

We are being joined this year by a number of WRHS alumni classes including – Class of 1993, Class of 1995 and Class of 1997 – with hopefully more to follow.

We hope you will all join us in making this drive more successful than the past. Any donation is welcome, big or small, as it all goes towards local residents in need.

WHEN

It begins today and runs through Friday, December 18. We are going to drop off donations on Saturday, December 19 at The First Baptist Church on Main Street in Holden.

HOW TO HELP

All we are asking is donations of non-perishable and unexpired foods. Any donation is welcome, but the food pantry is always in need of:

  • Canned protein sources (stews, chili, ravioli, hash, baked beans)
  • Macaroni & cheese
  • 100% Juice (concentrate preferred)
  • Canned fruits and vegetables
  • Canned soup
  • Spaghetti sauce

You can also make a tax deductible donation to the: Wachusett Food Pantry. Please include your address so you can receive a receipt for tax purposes of your donation.

The pantry is able to use monetary donations to buy groceries at a fraction of the cost at a normal supermarket through its association with the Worcester County Food Bank.

WHERE TO DROP OFF DONATIONS

PRINCETON: Mountainside Market at 23 Hubbardston Road (Owned by the Class of 95’s Jill (Fortin) Zelley.

Click on this link for the Landmark article on Jill’s market: Mountainside Market

Mountainside Market is also a Toys for Tots drop off for anyone wishing to donate toys for that cause. The toys will go to needy students at the Thomas Prince School.

HOLDEN: Carrie’s Creations & Village Garden Center at 788 Main Street

STERLING: Megan (Hehir) Marshall’s (Class of 1994) home at 27 Tanglewood Drive.

Amy (Mikelonis) Davis’ (Class of 1994) home at 11 Rugg Road. Her home is also a drop off for Toys for Tots.

LEOMINSTER: Edward Jones investment offices at 63 Main Street (across from the Leominster Post Office). Christina (Gunther) Lashua (Class of 1993) works there and has been kind enough to offer this as another drop off location.

WHY YOU SHOULD HELP

The Wachusett Food Pantry helps those in need by providing them with food they may not otherwise be able to afford. In this economy that need is greater than before and provides local residents (young and old) with greater financial flexibility to remain in Holden, Princeton, Paxton, Rutland or Sterling.

Beyond that the participating classes will be competing to see which can donate the most goods with the winner getting: THE GREATEST CLASS EVER attached to their name. (Note that “greatest” is not better than “best.”)

In addition, two lucky participants will win entry into the rumored Sweet 16 Reunion for the Class of 1994 which will allegedly be held next year.

As such we would ask that those who donate provide their name and year they graduated in order to determine the winners of the friendly contests. Of course you can always keep your donations anonymous as well.

Thank you for your support and hope you all have a happy holiday season!!!

BLACK FRIDAY!!!

If ever there was proof that the economy has fully rebounded from its downward slide of a year ago, Americans need only look at the Wachusett School Store where sales records were shattered for retail stores across the nation this past Friday.

Residents throughout the state flocked to Wachusett at 3 AM for Black Friday deals which saw 50 percent off selected items. The sale was highlighted by the unveiling of the new line of vintage Class of 1994 merchandise.

Class VP Tyler Bradshaw, who was on hand to sign autographs, said he had never seen anything like it in his life. “It was pure bedlam,” he told the Associated Press. “Within minutes of the store opening 94 gear had already sold out leading to over a dozen fistfights and shouting matches. They had to call in the state police. I knew we were popular, but this has reached a new level. I was never around to witness a Beatles concert at the height of their fame, but that is the only thing I can compare to Friday ‘s scene.”

Although the entire line of Class of 1994 product sold out store manager Ruth Briggs expected shipments of new stock to arrive in time for the Christmas holiday.

Among the big ticket items shoppers scooped up on Friday were:

Be the signal caller of your team AND your life with the new Designer Quarterback Gloves created by Evan McNamara. These gloves may be perfect for throwing the 75 yard touchdown pass to win the big game, but their use extends beyond the playing field. Having trouble gripping the steering wheel? The gloves will do the trick. And when you are looking for the last minute accessory to the senior prom or high school reunion you will not be sorry when you slip on one of these gloves. Their fashion is unparalleled.

The Best Class Ever Game Ball – Have you ever wondered what it takes to be the best? Wonder no more with the authentic replica game ball used by the Class of 1994 in their undefeated senior season. If you are truly serious about the game get the ball that both our class and the pros use.

Don’t sweat the technique in these Ryan Santimaw Vintage WRHS Football Shorts. Each one is hand-stitched and numbered by Santimaw himself. These form-fitting shorts ride high on the leg and are intended for only the most serious of running backs looking to make the cut up the field for the long gain. The shorts have been endorsed by New England Patriots running back Laurence Maroney.

“Count On Me” was the slogan of 94 alum and former offensive lineman Eric Stuart. Whenever his team needed a first down they ran it to his side where you could always count on Stuey to make a gaping hole for his running back or fullback to blast through. “Count on me’ is not just a popular catch phrase, they are very powerful words that I live by,” Stuey said on Friday during a surprise appearance at the Wachusett School Store.

Order your Eric Stuart Legacy T-Shirt today and you can count on it to be made of only the best material – 75 percent cotton; 25 percent wool – that will never shrink and always rise to the big occasion.

What do you get when you combine the Tyler Bradshaw Class of ’94 Dickie and Steve Groccia Mountaineer For Life Soccer Dress Socks? A recipe for success. Wear this to an interview to land a six-figure job or out to the hottest Parisian nightclubs to woo over the supermodel of your dreams. Wherever you wear this ensemble you will be an unparalleled winner.

The highlight of this year’s collection is the Larry Rettig Line of Football Pants. The pants are designed to impress, giving the appearance of having been used in an actual game. Everyone will want your autograph when they see you in these!

Brian McQuoid was known for stifling opponents with his acrobatic dives and pouncing saves. Now his tenacity and will to win has been embodied in the Brian McQuoid Signature Sweatshirt Series (comes with or without the hood). Order the sweatshirt between now and December 24 and receive a free Dave Hough Personally Autographed Shinguard.

For a limited time the Chico Vader Senior Class President Letterman’s Jacket is available to those who have always wished to live like a king, but never had the means.

The jacket comes equipped with your choice of a JV or Varsity Letter as well as your choice of a Latin Club or Library Club gold plated pin. Each jacket is embroidered with the “Chico” insignia.

“It not only breaks down barriers of equality, it kicks down doors,” fashion guru Stephanie Magdis said. “If you want to be seen and be in the scene this jacket is a must-have.”

In a rare interview Chico expressed pride in being associated with the recently launched Class of 1994 Holiday Collection. “There is something for everyone in here,” he said. “And the quality and craftmanship in this series is top notch which is why I attached my name to this. I predict big things for this collection and I believe it will set the standard by which all other clothing lines will be judged.”
