THE FORUM<br />
My life at Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High School the past four years <strong>has</strong> been an adventure. <strong>The</strong>re have been<br />
good <strong>time</strong>s and bad, moments that were happy and sad. Being a tremendous fan of the sports here at L-S, I got to<br />
experience both triumph and defeat. Sophomore year, there was the great <strong>come</strong>back that our football team had against<br />
Wayland High School, after being down 22 points in the fourth quarter. I was also fortunate enough to be a part of a<br />
baseball team sophomore year that went all the way and won the state championship. <strong>The</strong>re were also games which<br />
I witnessed as a fan that were incredible. Junior year, the field hockey team came back from a 3-0 deficit in the final<br />
eight minutes of the semi-final game of the state tournament and won 4-3. During my senior year, the boyʼs basketball<br />
team gave us thrilling games against Wayland, Acton, and Marblehead while the girlʼs team finally won the state<br />
championship they had long worked for over the years. With the incredible victories aside, most of the best <strong>time</strong>s I had<br />
in high school were spent with the teams and my friends that I played with in football, indoor track, and baseball. With<br />
the football team, I can remember almost running Lotus Blossom right out of business on a few occasions. <strong>The</strong>re were<br />
track meets that I was at for hours and hours mostly just hanging out with the team. <strong>The</strong> baseball team, as much hard<br />
work as it took, never stopped being an enjoyment for all of us. <strong>The</strong> one thing that I will miss next year when I go to<br />
college is the very successful athletic program that this high school <strong>has</strong>. It made my stay here enjoyable. And to all of<br />
the athletes in the class of 2007 going on to continue their athletic careers at the college level, I wish you good luck<br />
and remember, that I will always be there in the stands cheering you on. Good luck ʻ07!<br />

I will miss the comfort of walking down the halls, knowing alm<br />
adventures and running “missions” with my buddies. I will cert<br />

From ninth grade leading up to this year of graduation, I have bee<br />
togetherness. It made for an amazing high school experience and friendshi<br />
Since I was little, my older brother and sister had always told me about<br />
forward to. In elementary school, when TGIF was still the big Friday hype<br />
rey Matthews walked into school his first day of senior year to a hallway fu<br />
anticipate my upcoming senior year even more. I had not realized this was<br />
into the school down Blue hall realizing all the doors had been taken off the<br />
the quote, “Canʼt close the door on 2004!” This classic prank stuck with me<br />
had begun and I was now living in a sitcom.<br />
This is exactly what my life <strong>has</strong> been for the past four years. Such<br />
the best hands on learning experience any student can obtain. I can remem<br />
two totaled cars. <strong>The</strong> Students Against Drunk Driving (SADD) club had o<br />
a drunk driving accident. It felt real, moving, and suspenseful. I was left w<br />
learn about what drinking and driving does first hand. This type of activity<br />
My teachers during all four years, took the <strong>time</strong> to run over all the le<br />
with us for every joke that may have been cracked.<br />
With the tragedy at L-S this past year it marks the most impactiv<br />
that I felt the strongest connection between community members since Girl<br />
or gave me the moral support I needed. Itʼs comforting to know there is a<br />
much as I do.<br />
With activities, friends, and attitudes, L-S <strong>has</strong> be<strong>come</strong> a part of my<br />
I get when walking the halls. No matter how huge this school really is, it a<br />
coln-Sudburyʼs friendly atmosphere makes this experience unforgettable an<br />

Graduation 2007<br />
THE FORUM<br />
When asked to recall memories of my four<br />
years at L-S. I immediately became overwhelmed.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are literally hundreds of experiences which<br />
I will forever cherish as the best <strong>time</strong> of my life. I<br />
just sat for hours trying to organize my thoughts<br />
and emotions. Finally, I decided that the best way<br />
to summarize my amazing experience at L-S would<br />
be to categorize my overall feelings for each of the<br />
four years.<br />
Freshman year was unique because of the<br />
old building. This building is particularly special<br />
for our class because we are the last class to ever<br />
get the privilege of enjoying it. Just by walking<br />
around the cozy hallways of the old building, I<br />
was introduced to many of the great traditions that<br />
make the L-S community a special place. From the<br />
murals and the leaking ceiling, the old building<br />
felt like home. Whether it was discovering bomb<br />
shelters, or hearing about legendary senior dress<br />
up day costumes from past years, the tremendous<br />
history of the school fascinated me, including the<br />
stories my Dad had from going to L-S. I felt much<br />
pride knowing that I was becoming part of an exciting<br />
community and tradition. As an incoming<br />
freshman, the best part of the building was it all<br />
looked so different.<br />
Sophomore year was the transition year, the<br />
year Four Corners became <strong>The</strong> Senior Spot and we<br />
had to help bring old traditions into a new place.<br />
Again our class had to get used to a new building,<br />
feeling just as lost as the 9th graders, which was<br />
hard to swallow. What I remember most about this<br />
transition year was Soccer. All the construction led<br />
to having no home fields. Each day I would meet<br />
my car pool in the parking lot and we would drive<br />
to Haskell where we would practice. Although this<br />
could be viewed as a disadvantage, some of my<br />
best memories from that year were bonding with<br />
the team traveling to and from our off campus location.<br />
When thinking of memories of junior year, I<br />
still get stressed out. Junior year was “<strong>The</strong> defining<br />
year of my academic life.” <strong>The</strong>re was stress from<br />
school, stress from parents and most importantly,<br />
SATʼs and college. But something about that stress<br />
brought me closer to my teachers and friends. I<br />
could always turn to my friends for advice and encouragement<br />
because we were all going through<br />
the same stressors. <strong>The</strong> best part of the year was<br />
being able to turn to my teachers. Graduates of L-<br />
S always say that one of the great aspects of this<br />
school is that you can create such great bonds with<br />
your teachers.<br />
When tragedy struck at L-S, there were ultimately<br />
two options for our community. We could<br />
have launched into a state of chaos in which we<br />
would have forgotten the L-S traditions of trust<br />
and unity, instead our community became stronger,<br />
we relied on each other to get through and we were<br />
able to over<strong>come</strong> the media and the negative portrayal<br />
of our school. We were all part of a tragedy<br />
and as a community we all became stronger.<br />

High School for me was quite a ride. It had its up and downs. But most of all it was a great experience for<br />
me and I enjoyed it in many different ways. It gave me an opportunity to grow and learn a lot of things, and I can<br />
say that I have grown a lot. When I first came to L-S as a freshman, entering the old building, I thought I knew it<br />
all. My freshman year was spent in the old building and up until this day I find the old building to be the best. <strong>The</strong><br />
old L-S building was cozy. It was colorful and unique in some parts. <strong>The</strong> school was all carpet, which also made<br />
it cozy. <strong>The</strong> old school was calming and felt more like home. I will always have my little freshman memories in<br />
that building even though its torn down and long gone.<br />
Throughout my freshman year I thought it was going to be a breeze in the wind. But I came to find out that<br />
it wasnʼt. I used to put my work off to the side and say to myself “Iʼll do it later” but when the <strong>time</strong> came to hand<br />
in everything I was in a big jam trying to get everything finished at once. But somehow I managed to get it all<br />
in but it wasnʼt my best effort. I even skipped class a couple of <strong>time</strong>s because I thought it was cool. But during<br />
my freshmen year, I lost a cousin that was really close to me by violence. So I was to the point where I thought I<br />
couldnʼt move on. But somehow I managed to over<strong>come</strong> his death and move in his sweet and caring spirit which<br />
encouraged me. Freshmen year was an excitement but a downfall and a new beginning in my life.<br />
My sophomore year wasnʼt really that exciting. <strong>The</strong> only difference was the new building and an upgrade in<br />
my classes. <strong>The</strong> new building was just confusing to me as it was to my fellow classmates. I didnʼt like it, but I<br />
had to get used to it.<br />
My junior year was my last year with the upperclassmen I hung out with. I was sad, but they taught me a lot<br />
of things about their senior year, what it was going to be like, and what I should expect. <strong>The</strong>y even told me to get<br />
a college in mind because the process was a <strong>has</strong>sle. But overall my junior year was just like my sophomore year,<br />
an upgrade in my classes but this <strong>time</strong> I knew how to get around the building.<br />
My SENIOR YEAR the most exciting year EVER!!!! When we first came back from our summer break<br />
I had a lot of confidence. I was ready to over<strong>come</strong> any work and situations that might <strong>come</strong> my way. This year<br />
went by really quickly and as I sit back and reminisce, Iʼm going to miss all my favorite teachers and all my<br />
classmates. <strong>The</strong> college stuff was a <strong>has</strong>sle but I got through it and received a letter of acceptance from Virginia<br />
State University. Iʼm filled with enthusiasm to move on to be at the bottom of the food chain again as a freshman<br />
in college. I know that itʼs a whole new beginning with new challenges, but I know can be successful as I was in<br />
high school.<br />
I just would like to give advice to all the upcoming freshman: stay on top of your work because it will<br />
<strong>come</strong> back to you in the end when you least expect it.<br />

Unlike the years before us, and the years to <strong>come</strong>, the Class of 2007 is by far the<br />
best group of people to ever walk through the doors of Lincoln-Sudbury Regional<br />
High School, ever. No, but seriously. We hope that our class <strong>has</strong> had a lasting impact<br />
on L-S and the L-S community. Even more than this, we realize that L-S <strong>has</strong> had a lasting<br />
impact on us. Not only will we take away all the knowledge and lessons that have<br />
been taught by thoughtful and caring teachers, but we will forever have the memories<br />
and experiences that our classmates have shared with us. Whether our grade <strong>has</strong> grown<br />
closer because of tragedy or because of our own accomplishments and celebrations,<br />
we have gone through it all together. No matter whom your friends have been throughout<br />
our four years here, many of us have made some of the most meaningful relationships<br />
of our lives thus far.<br />
Our grade <strong>has</strong> achieved so much; the Lincoln-Sudbury Ocean Science Bowl Team<br />
winning the 2007 Blue Lobster Bowl at MIT, and the Varsity girlsʼ basketball team<br />
winning the 2007 State Championship title are just a few of the many accomplishments<br />
that provide an important source of pride for our class.<br />
Now let us ask you, what other grade <strong>has</strong> superstar, John Sanborn Hayes III,<br />
whose name is chanted at every sporting event, at every party, on every bus ride, and<br />
even throughout the halls? What other grade <strong>has</strong> a self-proclaimed lyricist/singer, Sean<br />

I walked through the activities fair my freshman year, signing<br />
up for massive amounts of clubs I really knew nothing about,<br />
mostly because there was candy at the tables. When I wrote my<br />
name down for Dance Troupe, I did know what it was, but I had no<br />
idea what it would <strong>come</strong> to mean to me.<br />
For me, dance is something that, since I was two years old,<br />
<strong>has</strong> been embedded in my brain, in my heart, and in me. It is something<br />
that I love and could never imagine being without. A group<br />
that gives anyone the opportunity to experience this feeling is a<br />
group that I am proud to be a member of. Dance Troupe doesnʼt<br />
hold auditions, doesnʼt exclude people, and doesnʼt tell people they<br />
arenʼt good enough. Anyone can be a part of it, and in a high school<br />
where everyone competes for the best grades, a spot on the team,<br />
or a place at a college, having a group that doesnʼt judge you and<br />
allows you to be who you are is a unique and wonderful thing. This<br />
year, we had so much interest that, for the first <strong>time</strong>, the troupe<br />
performed two different shows in the spring.<br />
I remember being in fifth grade and my best friend, Lily, and I<br />
took all the same dance classes. <strong>The</strong> daily drive to our studio was<br />
as familiar to me as my lunches back then: a peanut butter and jelly<br />
sandwich, an apple, and three Oreos. I remember my mother saying<br />
to me, “I can see you and Lily someday running the dance troupe in<br />
high school.” At the age of 10, I wasnʼt exactly filled with notions<br />
of high school, and I usually thought my mom was crazy when she<br />
said that. Here I am, eight years later, and although I never like to<br />
admit this, my mother was right.<br />
I have had the privilege, with Lily Steiner, to be a captain for<br />
dance troupe this year. <strong>The</strong> experience is unforgettable as is the<br />
troupe and what it represents. I can only hope that my part in it <strong>has</strong><br />
allowed others to love Dance Troupe as much as I do.<br />

THE FORUM<br />
Looking back on my four years at Lincoln-Sudbury,<br />
and then looking forward at my future, it would<br />
be hard not to see which experience <strong>has</strong> shaped me<br />
most. <strong>The</strong> music department <strong>has</strong> been my security<br />
and my home base for the past four years. My best<br />
friends are the ones Iʼve made through chorus and<br />
orchestra – weʼve bonded through a common love<br />
for music and expanded our friendships beyond<br />
that. My favorite classes are always my chorus and<br />
orchestra classes, where Iʼm surrounded by people<br />
who like music at least enough to give up free blocks<br />
and electives.<br />
.<br />
<strong>The</strong> encouragement Iʼve received from Tom<br />
Grandprey and Ruth Hartt <strong>has</strong> been greatly instrumental<br />
to my musical passion and my decision to<br />
study music in college.<br />
I wonder if, without the presence of and my<br />
own participation in the music department at L-S,<br />
Iʼd even be going to music school next year.<br />
For the past four years, Band <strong>has</strong> afforded me with awesome opportunities and <strong>has</strong> been a wonderful<br />
experience. Being in Band <strong>has</strong> allowed me to experience many different kinds of music: from classical<br />
to jazz to contemporary, nothing is off-limits. It forced me to consider types of music that normally<br />
I would not have listened to, nor that normally would be played on the radio. And after heated debates<br />
in Jazz Band about our favorite musicians, we have also learned to tolerate othersʼ poor choice in music<br />
even though we might vehemently disagree with them, which is part of being a musician. Normally in<br />
Band, you do not play the music that you like, but what others like – similar to life, in that we donʼt<br />
always get what we want.<br />
Band <strong>has</strong> also given me, and others, the opportunity to both lead and be led, to learn to work with<br />
others in order to achieve a common goal. But the best part of band is the people, the relationships that<br />
being in band fostered. Working together to create a piece of music that really sounds great and is what<br />
we want it to be is a feat to behold. Working together in this way <strong>has</strong> fostered a sense of community<br />
among all of us that is hard to find in the world <strong>today</strong>. All of us have developed into a family of sorts,<br />
with friendships that will last forever. Itʼs been an astounding experience to watch everyone around me<br />
grow both in musical aptitude and in their own personal lives to be<strong>come</strong> the amazing people they are<br />
<strong>today</strong>.<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>time</strong> <strong>has</strong> <strong>come</strong>, at last, to walk the platform like those before me and finally discover what it<br />
means to be a high school graduate. At this point in my life, I think it necessary to reflect on what <strong>has</strong><br />
truly been the most influential part of my high school experience: <strong>LS</strong>B Players. After 14 shows at L-S, I<br />
find this integral branch of my life coming to a close, and to be honest, I have not been having the easiest<br />
<strong>time</strong> parting with it. To me, the theatre department <strong>has</strong> not just been an extracurricular activity, but<br />
a sort of haven for my adolescent uncertainties. Getting into my first show as a freshman opened up the<br />
door to a world that would shape my life, a world filled with mentors and friends who would help me<br />
for better and for worse be<strong>come</strong> the person I am <strong>today</strong>.<br />
I call myself fortunate to have ended up at this school, at this department, one esteemed for originality<br />
and determination. I call myself fortunate to have worked under the direction of “living legend” Bill<br />
Plott, to have been praised, and also ridiculed, by him. I call myself fortunate to have seen the beginning<br />
of the “New Ageʼ of drama at L-S, to have had the joy of once again working with Carly Evans and John<br />
Germanotta. I call myself fortunate for learning not only the technicalities of stage acting, but where<br />
they <strong>come</strong> from and who created them.<br />
I have learned that it is not only important how one acts out a certain text, but also to understand and<br />
find meaning in words to make the final product all the deeper. Certainly, I am grateful to this department<br />
for many things, but above all I am thankful to <strong>LS</strong>B Players for giving me the support and guidance<br />
to help me find myself and push myself to a place where limits do not exist. <strong>The</strong>se are the lessons I<br />
will carry with me as I go along my way, the lessons I will cherish as I step onto the greater world stage<br />
as a new, uncertain player. Truly, without my <strong>time</strong> with the <strong>LS</strong>B Players I would not be half the person I<br />
am <strong>today</strong>. One thing I can honestly say, though, is that no matter who I be<strong>come</strong> in my life<strong>time</strong>, no matter<br />
where I go or what I do, I will always remember my foundation and where it is I came from.

Bottom of the ninth, full count, two outs, go<br />
ahead run on third base, State Championship game,<br />
and I cannot feel anything but my heart beating as the<br />
crowd stands on their feet clapping and screaming.<br />
As a sophomore at L-S, I was fortunate enough to<br />
live out every baseball playerʼs dream. I was lucky<br />
to have the opportunity to deliver the game winning<br />
hit in the 2005 State Championship game for L-S,<br />
the first in school history. Lying face down at the<br />
bottom of the team pile after everybody stormed the<br />
field at LaLacheur Park is something I will never<br />
forget. My experiences on the baseball team speak<br />
for themselves and will never be forgotten -- I can<br />
look down on my finger everyday at my State Championship<br />
ring.<br />
Throughout the past four years of my life, it <strong>has</strong><br />
been an honor and a privilege to be an athlete at L-S.<br />
As a young boy, I always dreamt of maybe some day<br />
being a “jock” with the letter jacket from L-S. As<br />
graduation approaches, I feel as though I have experienced<br />
everything if not more than I could have<br />
imagined. I have been a twelve season athlete during<br />
my tenure here, and each season since freshman<br />
year <strong>has</strong> been memorable to me. My senior year I<br />
was privileged enough to earn Captain honors in<br />
three sports (golf, basketball, and baseball). Whenever<br />
I threw on the L-S jersey for any sport, I felt a<br />
sense of pride simply because of the great reputation<br />
that our athletic program <strong>has</strong> across the state, as well<br />
as the many great athletes who came before me. It is<br />
an honor to be able to tell people that I was an athlete<br />
at L-S, who will be continuing his athletic career in<br />
college. I was recently informed that our senior class<br />
is one of the most highly recruited athletic classes in<br />
the nation. What an honor for the school!<br />
As I look back on all the experiences I have<br />
had playing three sports at L-S I feel blessed. Other<br />
athletes in surrounding towns are not use to winning<br />
league title after league title across multiple<br />
sports like L-S. Not only was I lucky enough to be<br />
a member of teams that won DCL titles, but we also<br />
won Sectional Championships and a State Championship.<br />
Along with all the great memories from<br />
winning, I had the opportunity to play at some of<br />
the greatest sporting venues in the Massachusetts .<br />
I was able to play some of the finest golf courses<br />
in the state, play at Tsongas Arena with the basketball<br />
team, and play at baseball fields such as Alumni<br />
Field and LaLacheur Park .<br />
When I was not playing a sport, I was just as<br />
much a fan. I will never forget the football games in<br />
the fall when my friends and I tailgated in the school<br />
parking lot and painted our chests in the freezing<br />
cold for “Ears” or “Orejos,” the quarterback, and,<br />
more importantly, our friend.<br />
As I say goodbye to L-S, I would like to<br />
say thanks to all my teammates and coaches that I<br />
trained with, lost with, won with, and fought with<br />
till the end. I am proud to have competed with all of<br />
you and am forever grateful. Forever a warrior.<br />

THE FORUM<br />
Senior Warriors carry L-S pride<br />
Chelsea Audin<br />
Walking onto the field the first day of tryouts freshman<br />
year, I was filled with envy as the upperclassmen joked<br />
around. I sat wondering how they could take tryouts so lightly<br />
and whether we freshman were the only ones filled with<br />
fear. We had no idea what to expect, and we all prayed that<br />
our name would be announced at the end of the week as<br />
a member of the soccer program. After five days of sweat,<br />
fatigue, and nerves, tryouts ended; luckily I had made junior<br />
varsity and my nerves were temporarily put at ease.<br />
Eight seasons later, approaching the spring season of<br />
my senior year, I awoke Monday morning of tryouts with<br />
a feeling that had be<strong>come</strong> all too familiar. Nerves took over<br />
my body and anticipation grew as I looked towards tryouts<br />
that afternoon. I was now the senior that I had been so envious<br />
of just four years ago -- the ones who appeared so<br />
relaxed. <strong>The</strong> truth, however, was that the same nerves ran<br />
through my body that were there freshman year. After joking<br />
with friends while I got dressed in the locker room, I joined<br />
the rest of prospect lacrosse players outside Andoʼs and prepared<br />
for a run.<br />
Over the past four years, I have participated in sports<br />
for nine seasons, and every season brought new and exciting<br />
experiences varying from North Section Finalists to falling<br />
one point short of qualifying for post season, but each <strong>time</strong><br />
I was surrounded by an amazing group of young women.<br />
Regardless of the record we earned on paper, we were all<br />
driven together every afternoon by the love of the game. We<br />
did not play to be<strong>come</strong> state champions every year or better<br />
our college resume. Instead, we played to experience that<br />
rush of nerves every <strong>time</strong> we first stepped onto the field no<br />
matter what grade we were in and, as many coaches have<br />
said, to “Each day play better than we had the day before.”<br />
We were brought together to improve not as individuals, but<br />
as a team. And, we became a family that <strong>has</strong> printed so many<br />
memories in my mind. This is the essence of L-S athletics.<br />
It combines a talented group of young student-athletes with<br />
coaches who are able to assist them as they strive to progress;<br />
learning skills to excel on the field and building relationships<br />
with teammates to form a bond off the field; both<br />
creating learning opportunities and lessons for the future.<br />
Carl Jewell<br />
Athletics at L-S <strong>has</strong> been one of the most important aspects<br />
of my life these past four years. From the spring season<br />
of my freshman year, I have been running either track or<br />
cross-country for L-S, and looking back on it, I would not<br />
have wanted it to be any other way.<br />
Through my involvement in sports I have met so many<br />
people and I feel that I have really contributed to what is<br />
now one of the top track programs in the state and what is<br />
quickly becoming one of the top track programs in the country.<br />
None of it was easy, though. I had to deal with injuries<br />
and illnesses, but even when things looked pretty bad to me,<br />
I was picked up by the people around me who continuously<br />
supported me.<br />
Track <strong>has</strong> given me some of my fondest memories, ones<br />
that I will never forget, such as the first <strong>time</strong> I ever won a<br />
race in high school -- indoors, the 1000 meter, my sophomore<br />
year. It was against Wayland, our main rival, and all I can<br />
remember is people screaming around me when I finished.<br />
I do not think people can really understand the feeling until<br />
they have an accomplishment very similar to it, and I was<br />
only given the chance to have the feeling by competing for<br />
the L-S track team.<br />
To me, nothing <strong>has</strong> been as fun or rewarding as the <strong>time</strong><br />
I have spent with my boys (and girls) during track. Recently,<br />
I went to junior prom and had to go home right after because<br />
I had to catch a bus at 6 A.M.. for a meet in Hartford, Connecticut.<br />
I spent more than fourteen hours traveling and at<br />
the meet, but when I got home, I was in a fantastic mood<br />
because I had a great <strong>time</strong> with people that I really wanted to<br />
be around (and I had some good races).<br />
Being able to compete for L-S and be a captain for this<br />
excellent program <strong>has</strong> given me lots of memories that I will<br />
remember for a long <strong>time</strong> and that I would not trade for the<br />
world. Plus, I got to show off my shiny, white legs.<br />
Liz Catinella<br />
From skating in a freezing rink to pre-season in hundred<br />
degree weather to fielding ground balls in the snow, I<br />
really feel that I have experienced almost all of what L-S<br />
sports have to offer. Throughout my four years at L-S, I<br />
have played field hockey, ice hockey, and softball each<br />
year. <strong>The</strong>se sports and the teammates that came along<br />
with them have taken me away from the pressures that<br />
high school <strong>come</strong>s with. I have formed families with the<br />
girls I have played with, along with life-long friendships<br />
and I have learned leadership skills and responsibility<br />
through being a two-season captain.<br />
One of my most memorable L-S athletics moments<br />
was during my junior year field hockey season. We made<br />
it to the State Championship. Our team chemistry was<br />
like nothing I had ever experienced and the PHUʼs had<br />
be<strong>come</strong> my best friends. Of course we would have liked<br />
to be able to say that we won states that year, but we were<br />
beat 2-1. <strong>The</strong> funny thing is, we came together and sang<br />
on the bus ride all the way home. Everyone was crying,<br />
but not because we had lost. We were crying because that<br />
was the last <strong>time</strong> our team would ever play together and<br />
we knew we had be<strong>come</strong> sisters. Everyone always asks<br />
me “Liz, donʼt you wish you had won states that year?<br />
Would you have done anything different?” My answer<br />
is always the same. I would change nothing about that<br />
season.<br />
This does not apply just to that field hockey season,<br />
but to my whole athletic career at L-S. If anything, I have<br />
learned winning is least important. Camaraderie, friendships,<br />
and responsibility are now much higher on my list<br />
of priorities. As I move on to play field hockey in college,<br />
I will always remember my days of double session tryouts<br />
in the middle of August with the PHUʼs, my meetings<br />
around the trash can shouting “FSU,” and my lovely<br />
Trumpsol.

I didnʼt know what the staff of the<br />
Forum was thinking when they asked me<br />
to write “Parting Shots” to the seniors. I<br />
thought “Wow! What an opportunity!!”<br />
<strong>The</strong>n I was informed that I was supposed<br />
to write “Parting WORDS” to the seniors.<br />
Talk about a let down.<br />
Where shall I begin?? You came to<br />
L-S as the last group of freshmen to attend<br />
classes in the “old building”. You should<br />
tuck that thought away and file it under<br />
important. It wasnʼt shiny and new. It was<br />
more like that really old pair of sneakers<br />
that you just didnʼt want to part with.<br />
Next you move into your sophomore<br />
year and into a brand new building. I think<br />
you should consider your sophomore year<br />
as being similar to a television series…<br />
“Lost”. Letʼs see now if the walls are<br />
green Iʼm in “A” building. If the walls<br />
are red Iʼm in “B” building. No, thatʼs not<br />
right! If I <strong>come</strong> in through the front door<br />
Iʼm on the second floor of “A” building,<br />
but when I get to “B” building Iʼm on the<br />
third floor. Yup, Iʼm lost!!<br />
Junior year! SATʼs, ACTʼs… hey,<br />
at least there are no more MCAS!! You<br />
can sleep late on those mornings. Time to<br />
start considering where to go to college or<br />
do you want to go to college? I went to<br />
college after high school. It wasnʼt all it<br />
was built up to be. So when I graduated,<br />
I went back to high school. Iʼve been in<br />
high school for 34 years now!<br />
Senior year! Finally! You can hang<br />
out at the “Senior Spot.” Sorry, there are<br />
not enough words nor is there enough<br />
space here to convey my thoughts on that<br />
Elizabeth<br />
McClung,<br />

It was a pleasure getting to know so<br />
many of you during your years at Lincoln-<br />
Sudbury. <strong>The</strong> <strong>time</strong> <strong>has</strong> <strong>come</strong>, however,<br />
for you to leave us to be (almost) on your<br />
own. Youʼre off to a new environment,<br />
new friends, a new start. As you move on I<br />
have a few things to consider.<br />
Try your best. If you do, you wonʼt<br />
look back and say “What if I had tried<br />
harder?” This could be in a class, a job, a<br />
relationship, or sports. If you make a mistake,<br />
accept responsibility and apologize<br />
when appropriate. Cut yourself some slack<br />
and start again. Cut others some slack,<br />
too, because we all blow it some<strong>time</strong>s. Try<br />
hard to see other perspectives. Some<strong>time</strong>s<br />
people have needs that you arenʼt aware of<br />
or donʼt understand.<br />
Find your voice. Use it. Donʼt be just<br />
a bystander in life. Act on your instinct.<br />
Speak up when you see something isnʼt<br />
right. This can be very difficult to do yet<br />
as a responsible member of any community<br />
you must try. Speak up, too, when you<br />
see something good. Say “thank you” a<br />
lot, and let people know when they have<br />
done well.<br />
Connect with others. Take care of each<br />
other. Ask for help when you need it, and<br />
keep an eye out for your friends. Give a<br />
hug; make a phone call; share a smile. Resolve<br />
conflicts as soon as you are able. Tell<br />
those you love that you love them. Donʼt<br />
wait for tomorrow because tomorrow may<br />
stand you up.<br />
Donʼt drive too fast, donʼt drive drunk,<br />
and wear your seat belt. Make sure others<br />
do the same. You cannot undo mistakes<br />
that take or ruin lives.<br />
Give something back. You have had<br />
support from L-S staff, friends, and family.<br />
Now go find a way to help others. Recycle,<br />
drive a fuel-efficient car, and use resources<br />
wisely.<br />
Finally, listen to your inner voice.<br />
Following your passion will bring you joy.<br />
Find that joy and savor it. I wish you all<br />
the best!<br />

place. College! Did you apply to enough<br />
of them? Are you going to work instead?<br />
Did you join the military? All that really<br />

I, and all the staff here have watched<br />
you grow for four years. Every year we<br />
watch one class of seniors go out the door<br />
and that class is made up of a unique group<br />
of people. That unique group is made up<br />

My parting words to you begin with a<br />
simple -- albeit initially startling -- observation:<br />
<strong>The</strong> great threat to Democracy is<br />
not the “Axis of Evil” (nor was it the “Evil<br />
Empire” -- the Soviet Union -- when I was<br />
a high school student); rather, the enemies<br />
of Democracy are cynicism and fear. Let<br />
me explain.<br />
Cynicism is the belief that individuals<br />
will ultimately act out of their own self-interest.<br />
In fact, the root of the word “cynicism”<br />
is the Latin and Greek words for<br />
“dog-like.” Accordingly, cynics believe<br />
that the world is fundamentally a “dog<br />
eat dog” place; and that life is a zero-sum<br />
game -- oneʼs win is anotherʼs loss; we<br />
canʼt all win, so get yours while you can,<br />
by any means necessary.<br />
Cynics thrive on defusing -- or worse,<br />
manipulating and exploiting -- what President<br />
Lincoln referred to as the “better<br />
angels of our nature”: Trust, faith, compassion,<br />
sacrifice, courage, honor, hope,<br />
pride.<br />
Cynics donʼt want you to think or to<br />
reason. Or, to be informed; itʼs in their<br />
interest that you are uninformed or misinformed.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y appeal to peopleʼs base<br />
instincts in order for people to do their bidding.<br />
Cynicism is the stuff of Machiavellian<br />
tyrants, not of American Democracy.<br />
Fear, then, is the most virulent weapon<br />
in the cynicsʼ arsenal. Ruthless dictators<br />

Seniors, a dear friend shared this with<br />
me and Iʼd like to share it with you.<br />
A man was traveling by foot in the<br />
hot sunlight in an unfamiliar area. He<br />
had been walking all day when he felt he<br />
might be on the wrong road. Just then he<br />
was startled by an old man leaning against<br />
a tree. He had white hair, his arms were<br />
crossed and his head was down resting on<br />
his arms. He asked the old man if he was<br />
on the right road. <strong>The</strong> old man creaked out<br />
with an old weak voice, “Just keep traveling-you<br />
are on the right road.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> traveler turned to leave when in<br />
the same weak voice he said, “Before you<br />
cross the river, gather up what is there.”<br />

Parting Words<br />
It is an honor and privilege to write<br />
something about the graduating class of<br />
2007 here at Lincoln -Sudbury Regional<br />
High School. I have a few reasons why this<br />
group <strong>has</strong> left an impression on me and<br />
would like to share them. Despite the adversities<br />
that you have faced, Iʼd also like<br />
to focus on the accomplishments. Letʼs<br />
face it, this is a <strong>time</strong> for celebration and<br />
should be about nothing less than that.<br />
This particular group will be the last<br />
class to have attended school in the old<br />
building. <strong>The</strong>y came to the new so young,<br />
and yet have kept the community spirit of<br />
L-S alive and well. Many of you I remember<br />
having in my classes and I still remember<br />
where you were seated back then. A lot<br />
of you were shy and quiet yet also polite<br />
and made the transition to the new building<br />
a positive one. It was also while fresh-<br />
to the Class of 2007<br />
Shea Justice, art<br />
men when I started to give out nicknames<br />
to many of you. That was just my corny<br />
way of acknowledging the fact that your<br />
class had so many cool kids in it. So in<br />
coming to the new building I brought with<br />
me a Grandma, Goodivas, Sledgehammers,<br />
Festusʼ and a Rae Bradleeeyy along<br />
with a host of others.<br />
So many of you have been accomplishing<br />
things academically and in sports<br />
that one cannot help but be proud. Itʼs difficult<br />
to write about these various accomplishments<br />
without mentioning specific<br />
individuals. I donʼt want to make anyone<br />
feel left out or give the sense of playing<br />
favorites. What I will say is that for every<br />
sports victory, dance recital, activist event<br />
and artistic accomplishment Iʼve witnessed<br />
over the past four years, Iʼm proud of you.<br />
For those that Iʼve travelled with and sim-<br />
Dan Conti,<br />
English<br />
and corrupt regimes continue to remind us<br />
of the truth about fear: It is a base emotion<br />
that leads humans not to think rationally<br />
or to seek (or to speak) the truth, but to<br />
cower.<br />
American author William Faulkner<br />
spoke of this when he accepted his Nobel<br />
Prize for Literature in 1950: “Our tragedy<br />
<strong>today</strong> is a general and universal physical<br />
fear so long sustained by now that we can<br />
even bear it. <strong>The</strong>re are no longer problems<br />
of the spirit. <strong>The</strong>re is only the question:<br />
When will I be blown up?” Regrettably,<br />
fear continues to be a tragedy of our age.<br />
We still worry -- and are told to worry --<br />
about who will blow us up.<br />
However, there is good news: This can<br />
be changed. And, you can be the agents of<br />
this change.<br />
Iʼve already seen it in all youʼve done<br />
and stood up for and said in your four years<br />
here at Lincoln-Sudbury. Youʼve responded<br />
to world tragedies, such as the genocide<br />
in Darfur; and to national crises, such as<br />
hurricane Katrina. Youʼve done the same<br />
with our own tragedy. Remember and<br />
draw strength from what youʼve done here<br />
dropped down. <strong>The</strong> traveler continued<br />
down the long road and told himself that<br />
the old man was crazy. <strong>The</strong> traveler repeated<br />
to himself what the old man had said,<br />
“Before you cross the river, gather up what<br />
is there.” He just laughed to himself.<br />
<strong>The</strong> traveler did finally <strong>come</strong> to a river.<br />
He suddenly stopped at the bank and<br />
the old manʼs words came back to him,<br />
“Before you cross the river, gather up what<br />
is there.” He looked around and saw nothing<br />
except the usual sticks and stones. <strong>The</strong><br />
only thing to gather here would be these<br />
stones, but why would I need these? Maybe<br />
to fight off a wild animal, but I really<br />
donʼt think so. He bent down, gathered<br />
some stones and placed them in his pocket.<br />
<strong>The</strong> traveler turned to cross the river and<br />
before he did, he stopped and said, “This<br />
is the craziest thing I have ever done,” and<br />
he crossed the river.<br />
<strong>The</strong> sky grew dark, and the traveler<br />
was tired; he decided to get off the trail<br />
and rest. He fell fast asleep and suddenly<br />
he awoke. He grew angry when he realized<br />
what had awoken him, he had rolled<br />
over on that ridiculous handful of stones<br />
he had put in his pocket. He reached into<br />
his pocket to pull out the stones and throw<br />
them down and as he did, the light of the<br />
moon caught the stones.<br />
To his surprise the stones had turned<br />
into diamonds. <strong>The</strong>n he said the most important<br />
thing of all, “I wish I had gathered<br />
up more before I crossed the river.”<br />
Be happy. Be healthy. Find love. Make<br />
the world a better place.<br />
ply had a friendly conversation with in the<br />
halls, those moments are appreciated and<br />
I wonʼt forget them. Without giving any<br />
specific shout outs, I think many of you<br />
know who you are.<br />
As the parent of a seven year old, I increasingly<br />
have to ready myself for the day<br />
that he will leave. A lot of <strong>time</strong>s as a parent<br />
you want your child to be a child forever<br />
and in some cases there are attempts<br />
to keep them that way. Itʼs tough but what<br />
makes it easier for me to deal with is the<br />
experience of teaching and watching the<br />
freshmen grow up and eventually be<strong>come</strong><br />
strong leaders. Itʼs my hope for my son<br />
as he grows, and it also gives me hope in<br />
the future and in what you can do to make<br />
the world a better place. Congratulations<br />
class of 07. You deserve all of the success<br />
in the world.<br />
during our darkest days: You persevered<br />
and endured. Heroically so.<br />
Now bring that energy and that optimism<br />
and that compassion to the world<br />
beyond L-S. Seek to be ambassadors at<br />
home and abroad for Americaʼs best ideals.<br />
Work for justice. Be beacons of hope.<br />
Spread the gospel of American optimism.<br />
Win the worldʼs -- and your fellow Americansʼ<br />
-- hearts and minds with the shock<br />
and awe of Americaʼs noblest promises.<br />
<strong>The</strong>rein lies our countryʼs real power.<br />
Admittedly, it is a daunting task, but<br />
you and your generation can do it. Thatʼs<br />
the essence of American optimism.<br />
So now my parting words to you,<br />
Class of 2007, end not as I began, with a<br />
sobering observation, but with the enduring<br />
idealism of Robert Kennedy, a leader<br />
who believed in the youth of our country<br />
and that our countryʼs best days were still<br />
ahead of it. <strong>The</strong>y are words that encapsulate<br />
my message to you:<br />
“It is from numberless diverse acts of<br />
courage and belief that human history is<br />
shaped. Each <strong>time</strong> a man stands up for an<br />
ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others,<br />
or strikes out against injustice, he sends<br />
forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing<br />
each other from a million different centers<br />
of energy and daring those ripples build a<br />
current which can sweep down the mightiest<br />
walls of oppression and resistance.”
