THE BEST CLASS EVER

Making History Since Nineteen-Nordy Four

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!”

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!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

Today our class has so much to be thankful for. We are still, after 15 years, The Best Class Ever. Bar none.

When we graduated in 1994 many doubted that we would continue our dominance for this long. They said we were washed up. We were overrated. We were running on empty. Those same people will be eating crow for dinner tonight.

But today is not about them. It is about us.

And how great we are. This week many have called and e-mailed and written class headquarters to let us know how much we mean to them. Below is just a glimpse of the thanks we have been receiving:

“Your entire class got an A in project adventure! Congratulations on making history! The Class of 94 rules!”
– Dr. Pandiscio
“I always make enough food on Thanksgiving for 1,994 people. That is how much your class rules!”

– Ruth Briggs


“We rule so bad and so much I still wear my Wachusett track jersey to work, on dates and out in public. Every day of my life. I refuse to ever take it off.”

– Josh Kingdon

“Every morning when I wake up the first thing I do is thank the good lord above for having the privilege to teach your class. And then I put on my Zubaz pants and Zubaz muscle shirt and Zubaz hat.”

– Coach Jackson

“LET’S GOOOOOO GRREEEENNNNNNIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!”

MIKE VS. RAY


Ray Allen’s 30 point game on Monday night – 28 in the second half – against the Chicago Bulls was truly one for the ages.

With two seconds left he hit the game winning three to tie the series and give the Boston Celtics life in the best of seven series.

For anyone who watched, Ray and his UCONN counterpart, Ben Gordon, went head to head in the second half trading basket after basket in a shooting display reminiscent of the Larry Bird/Dominique Wilkins scoring duel in Game 7 of the 1988 Eastern Conference semifinals.

Yet, immediately following the game the Internet was abuzz, not with talk of Ray Allen’s performance, but of another basketball great – Class of ’94 hardwood legend Mike Senckowski.

Dave Wuth called Ray Allen a poor man’s Mike Senckowski, writing on his Facebook page that “Ray couldn’t carry Mike’s jock strap. Plain and simple.”

Chris Tremblay wrote that Senckowski was the best there was, the best there is and the best there ever will be. “Ray Allen never put up 37 on Milford,” Tremblay said. “Mike Senckowski did. And I was there.”

Brant Harmon placed Senckowski in a class all by himself. “If I was forming a basketball team to win a championship, Senckowski would be the first person I’d pick,” he said. “I wouldn’t even consider Ray Allen.”

With all this controversy we are asking you to decide.

WHO IS THE BEST BASKETBALL PLAYER EVER: MIKE OR RAY?

BEST NEWSPAPER ARTICLE EVER!!

THIS ARTICLE, WHICH APPEARED IN THE WORCESTER TELEGRAM & GAZETTE EARLIER THIS YEAR, PROVES OUR DOMINANCE IS NO FLUKE!!!

Class of ’94 claims ‘best ever’ title
By Sandy Meindersma CORRESPONDENT
Although some alumni might disagree, Chris Kazarian calls Wachusett Regional High School’s class of 1994 “the best class ever.”
Fifteen years after Mr. Kazarian and his peers graduated, a group of classmates remains committed to promoting class spirit, even to the point of “trading” certain class members for members of other classes.
To stay in touch, Mr. Kazarian, who was class president, has established pages on MySpace and Facebook, naturally under the title “Best Class Ever.”
He also keeps a blog that chronicles the activities of class members.
Mr. Kazarian readily admits that he was the class clown, and that much of the information is written tongue-in-cheek, poking fun at one classmate or another.
“I like to have fun with it — hence the odd stories and boasts of being the best,” he said. “But I also think it is important that beyond simply having fun, for us collectively to give back to the community we grew up in.”
For the third year in a row, the class collected food and funds for the Wachusett Food Pantry. “We chose the food pantry because of their direct impact to the community,” he said.
Mr. Kazarian, who lives in Falmouth, said donations were down from last year’s high of 20 bags of groceries and $175 in cash, which he attributes to both the difficult economy and to the December ice storm.
“Hopefully it will compel other classes to do their part, because no matter how big or small, every little bit helps, whether they donate to the food pantry or another charitable cause that helps the Wachusett community,” he said.
In addition to its collection for the food pantry, the class has collected donations for a classmate’s sister whose home was destroyed in a fire and for a scholarship fund in memory of another classmate’s sister.
Ruth L. Briggs, treasurer of the Wachusett Alumni Association, acknowledged that the class of 1994 has a lot of class and school spirit, but said other classes might dispute Mr. Kazarian’s claim.
“The class of 1960 is really incredible: They keep track of everybody, and the classes were really big back then,” she said. “And the class of 1959 is working on planning its 50th reunion.”
Mr. Kazarian hopes his claims of being the best class and the class’s mission of giving back to the community will inspire some of the more recent graduates to give back as well. “It’s fun to have reunions, but it’s nice to give back to the community where you grew up,” he said.

CHEEZER SLEEPS THROUGH CHRISTMAS!

In a stunning series of events, Craig “Cheezer” Paradis slept through Christmas this year.

“I don’t know what happened,” Cheezer said when woken at 8:15 this morning by his roommate Chris Nobile.

Here is what we do know:

At 5:30 PM on Christmas Eve, Cheezer contemplated going to Wong Dynasty before he was alerted in a text a half hour later from Brant Harmon that Wong is no longer open.

He then, from wire reports, made a bacon and cheese omelette for himself before baking a batch of chocolate chip cookies he placed on the counter, along with a glass of two percent milk, for Santa Claus.

After eating the omelette he played shirtless Guitar Hero for the next hour and a half.

Shortly after 9:30, he was tucked into bed by his roommate. “I’ve been a good boy this year,” he told Nobile.

Those were the last words he spoke for nearly a day and a half. He woke up this morning, sleeping nearly 36 hours. That is a class record and one of the top five-marks set by any man, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

As to how he slept that long, Paradis was unsure but attributed it to the following:

  1. Nobile didn’t wake him up like he normally does.
  2. He was dreaming of sugar plums dancing in his head.
  3. He forgot to set his alarm.
  4. He was tired.
  5. He did it for our class.

The last may be the most important reason, Cheezer admitted. And if need be, he said, he will sleep even longer if it means our class finally getting the respect it deserves.

“I will sleep forever if I have to,” Cheezer said this morning while still in bed. He rubbed his eyes several times before putting his head back on his pillow and taking a quick nap, proving just how much he loves the Class of ’94.
