Andrea Barbosa Editor-In-Chief

With the dawn of the new millennium, we, the Class of 2000, have new horizons to reach. The un¬ foreseen path of opportunities that lies ahead seems intimidating yet exciting. We will spread our wings and enjoy our newfound freedom. But the memories we have made in our four years at Somer¬ set High School will live in our hearts forever. We will take with us the tears, laughter and smiles that we have shared together. From our first day of kindergarten with milk and cookies to our final walk across that stage on Graduation Day, we have been building a future for ourselves. Now, as the first class of the New Millennium, we will each hold our futures in our hands and direct them wherever we desire.

As your yearbook editor, my goal was to capture the memories of "the greatest years of our lives." May the memories of these past years be reflected in the pages of this book. If this goal has been ac¬ complished, we will have left behind a cherished memoir for future generations. Just imagine, a hun¬ dred years from now what the reaction might be of those who leaf through this yearbook. What will their reaction be? This question will remain unanswered. All we hope is that they will see all the great times we have experienced at Somerset High School, and they will aspire to do the same.

I would like to extend a thank you to all the members of the yearbook staff who sifted through countless pictures and sold ads. Thank you to Mrs. Camara, our senior class advisor, for her assistance and support throughout the year. Also, thanks to Mr. Alves, who helped with the senior section. Thank you to those whose financial support made this yearbook possible. Thank you to Joe and Gary Geoffroys of Chestnut Hill and to Norval Garnett of Jostens. The effort made by Mr. LaMothe cannot go unnoticed; thank you so much for unselfishly dedicating your time for the senior class.

As for the CLASS OF 2000 ... I wish you the very best in the years to come! j ,

President's Message

Amy McDonald Senior Class President

It seems like only yesterday that we entered the unfamiliar halls of Somer¬ set High School as freshmen. We were in new surroundings filled with new faces and had no idea what to expect. Throughout the years spent here we have all grown through our many relationships and friendships with each other. We have managed to survive through numerous struggles that have strengthened our character. Among all of the knowledge we have acquired in these past four years, the life lessons that we have experienced will remain the most vivid in our minds. Through these memories we are beginning to shape our future. Always remember, “Be grateful for the choices you've made, both good and bad. Accept your mistakes; you can't change them any¬ way. Apply what you've learned and go on . .

An assortment of memories that stand out when I reminisce of my years at Somerset High are: the highly spirited pep ralies, sporting events, school con¬ certs, school dances, and the good friends. I am proud to be a member of the Class of 2000. We have worked hard as a team to accomplish our goals. How can we forget our win at the Case Rally with Alice in Wonderland? This was not only an incredible display of talent and determination, but also one of class unity! Our class, which is extremely diverse, worked together to put on a great show. You should be so proud!

It has been a pleasure serving as your class president for these past four years. The opportunity to work with Mrs. Camara, Senior Class Advisor, Mr. Alves, Student Council Advisor, and the rest of my executive board has been an honor. I am looking forward to our future reunions to see how everyone has progressed in their journey through life.

Graduation is a new beginning for everyone. It is time for us to go out, face the “real world" and strive for our goals. “Create your own dreams and fol¬ low them until they are a reality." May we always keep our memories from our years at Somerset High School close to our hearts and clear in our minds.

To the Class of 2000,

I wish you the best of luck!

Keep smiling!

Your President,

Good Luck!
