Rejoicing in their
victory. Comp's football
players raise their fists
in the air with the hope
that they get to touch
the sword they fought
so hard for.
As we woke up on the first day of school this year, we
knew that something was different. This was our last year
before journeying into the world. We all walked tall
through the doors of Comp because we knew that we were
and still are the best. As if to prove our supremacy, we
won the sword game against Chicopee High and returned
the sword to its rightful place.
We are the class of the millennium. We have been
changing for the better every year, and
the changes that these past four
years have had on us will help
us as we enter the real
world. We have matured
and learned from our
experiences. After high
school, we will find our
place in the world and
figure out our future. The
big question is how are we
going to change the future
as the first class of the
millennium? The answer
is
i
your hands.

In the past four years we’ve all expected the end to
come— the end of ajourney that will take us into the

our freshman year. Sophomore year started off a shirt
tradition that would carry through to our senior year.
In ourjunior year we came only 82 points away from
beating the seniors in Spirit Week and spent tons of
money on Oodles of Noodles to do it. And finally senior
year, the list is way to long. So all there is to say is The
Class of 2000 is TOO GOOD FOR YOU! We are the
spirited class of the Millennium. As we walked through
the doors of Comp on the first day of school freshman

again isn’t he always!
off into the world, whether it be college or the work
force, we will all feel the same insecurity as the first
day of freshman year. But there are a few differences!
We’ve made some of the most special friendships that
we will remember forever, we have achieved the base
of an exceptional education at C.C.H.S., and last but
not least, We Are The Future!
So remember one thing on the first day ofyour future;
with every end there is a beginning, but you will never
forget the past. Memories don’t go awayjust because
we do.
