The Class of2001 Dedicates- This Yearbook to:

Mr. Donald McMillan

Just as the Class of 2001 entered Bancroft Upper School, Mr. McMillan began to teach here. We are the first class Mr. McMillan has seen through all four years of high school, and he has done much more than just see us through. He has gone far beyond what was required of him to help us with our problems, support us in our projects, and provide an open classroom in which students feel welcome and comfortable. As seen in his many endeavors to bring published writers to Bancroft, his posting of conferences and competitions, and his support of lntarsia, Mr. McMillan loves language and the written word. Further, he encourages all students, not just his own, to read and write as much as possible. He readily exchanges books and ideas, and best of all, is willing to share his own writing.

Though he also divides his time between parenting and his own writing, Mr. McMillan is always available for extra help, to critique work, or simply to listen. He understands the qualms of student writers submitting work and the trials of everyday high school life—and he has plenty of his own stories to tell. Thus, Mr. McMillan stands out not only as a teacher, but also as an advisor, and as a friend.

Thank you Mr. McMillan. Thank you for your encouragement, your inspiration, and your guidance. May you continue to educate for years to come, and as the Class of 2001 moves on, we will look back to you fondly and with gratitude.

ANTHONY AROUS Upper School is over? We made it to college'? I can't believe that it passed by so quickly. Only four years ago, I began worrying about how much high school would mean to me. Now that it's over, I wish I spent more time on everything I missed out on. But all along, my family and friends were there for me and have been very important to me in the last four years. Thank you Mom,Dad, Eddy, and Michelle for everything you have given me and done for me. The Triumvirate (Brian & Jeff) is something I will never forget. Everyone in the class has played a special part in my high school life, especially Yood (the Jew), Andy (late to lunch again?), Matt GH (Al Gore), Hershman(why can't you do the homework by yourself?), Wellsman (and Barbara), Laddis (and Andreas too), John (aye-aye), Dave Wright (Scoles), and Rosales (Guatemala). I would also like to thank my great advisors, Mr. Teutsch, Mrs. Ulbrich, and Mrs. Puccio for helping me out whenever I needed it. I'm definitely going to miss my entire class and everything about Bancroft, but I won't forget you. Goodbye and good luck to my entire class.

"My best friend is the one who brings out the best in me" -Henry Ford

Addie Helen Candib Thank you for dragging me kicking and screaming into who I am.

In 15 years, someone might glance over these pages and ask who is this dark-haired one?

I am autumn leaves before they turn, I am a black and white photograph, I am a bridge over troubled waters. Let in the light.

You are the Christ. You are the Buddha. Transcend.

EIP 'D

Think, dear friend, reflect on the world that you carry within yourself. And name this thinking what you wish. It might be recollections of your childhood or yearning for your own future. Just be sure that you observe carefully what wells up within you and place that above everything that you notice around you. Your innermost happening is worth all your love. You rai must somehow work on that.

-Rainer Maria Rilke

It could not have been possible without some very important people in my life today. First of all, thank God for giving me the opportunity to make it this far.

Bancroft, thank you so much for being there for me during the bumpy times I went through. When I didn't have a home, Mr. Pollock and his family took me in. Thank you so much. Mr. Smith, thank you so much for being a good advisor and helping me out whenever I needed you. Mrs. Rodrique, thanks for helping me with my college applications and all the other applications you helped me with. Mrs. Kelly, Ms. Day, Mrs. Ulbrich, and everybody else at Bancroft that took their time for me, thank you s0000000 much, and God bless all of you. A special thanks to Mrs. Roman, my eighth grade art teacher, Mrs. Bisson, and Mrs. Mallighan who did everything for me to come to Bancroft. A big thanks to all of you!

A special thanks to my father whose words are so powerful to me now. Because of his harsh words I can see myself moving in the right direction today. "You kids determine your destination from what you do today. You can do anything you want in this country, anything from good to bad. But there is a destination that awaits whatsoever you do now. I'm a poor man and the only thing I can give you is the courage to be inspired in learning. And if you are going to do something in life, do it the best to your ability. Kids, Daddy talks too much, but I love you, that's why I talk so much to you. I want A special thanks to my little brother Fungbeh you to succeed in life." These are examples of and little sister Kulubah, I love you guys! my daddy's loving and blessing words. I will cherish these words for a long time. Now I would just like to take this time to say thanks to the lady that stood by me all the way and dedicated everything to make sure I got through my last Thank you DAD. year at Bancroft. I don't know where I would be now if God never put her in my life. She was a full time student at Atlantic Union College during this last year for me at Bancroft. At the same time, she worked and rented out a two bedroom apartment for me and her for shelter, and with some help from my dad she paid all the bills. Every once in a while I tried to help, but she never asked. She probably had more problems than I did. However, I really never noticed, because she was too busy helping me with my problems and making sure I got through mine in order to get my education. She is truly my role model. She has been there and showed good examples to my siblings and me from the time we were growing up. She has been the IDEAL sister. Most of my success I owe to God for her. Thank you so much my dearest sister Nyempu M. Karrnue. I love you, and may God bless you.

STEVE LADDIS

I think I spent more time in snowbanks than in front of textbooks in high school, but that doesn't mean I don't have anyone to thank for helping me through the last four years. My advisor, Smith, if I actually had some problems at school, I'm sure you would have listened. Thanks to Haas and Scoles Wright for four years on the high honor roll, and to my partners in crime, Goranson, Hershman, and Maya. Tumolo and Antelope, I'll see you at the Tuftensile Institute next year. Rest up over the summer because you won't be getting any sleep once I arrive in September. The rest of you, you know who you are. Just remember: Don't work too hard, you might acquire scoles.

"You say what's the problem, what's with this angry kid?"GC It's not that I'm angry, I just don't understand life, people, everything; it's all so overwhelming. I just can't handle it sometimes, and my emotions manifest themselves negatively. I try to understand but I just can't. ("Why are the answers to my problems hard to find?" GC)Sometimes I just feel so alone and I don't know what to do. It reminds me, "Communication is a lot like the wind when I speak. It's like no one understands, and I'm left with empty hands, Forever I can't speak," GC I just have all these thoughts, all these ideas about life. I think about a lot of things all the time. I spend a lot of time alone thinking.

Thank you to anyone who ever gave me a chance, a chance to voice my thoughts, share my beliefs, a chance to display my talents, a chance to do what I love. Thank you to anyone who ever valued my skills, my ideas, my thoughts, my friendship. And thank you to anyone who never gave me a chance, who went by what others said, who judged my inside by my outside -in the end you helped me more than you hurt me. Most of all thank you to the people who truly allowed me to feel like I fit in.

See, all I really want is to feel like I fit in -it gives a sense of stability. Waking up in the morning and not knowing what you will do, who you will talk to during the day can mess with your head. That's why I love soccer and wrestling so much. I can control what happens and when I screw up the only variable is me.

So I'm not really angry, just confused about life and how it works. Later-JML

I mean I've left schools and places I didn't even know I was leaving them. I hate that. I don't care if it's a sad good-by or a bad good-by, but when I leave a place I like to know I'm leaving it. If you don't, you feel even worse.” - Holden Caulfield

Eric Wellman I took a course in hallelujah, I went to night school for de blues, I took some stuff they said would cool ya, But nothin' seemed to light my fuse.

But it's all in the past like a check that's in the mail, She was a tall whiskey glass, I was an hound dog that just loved to chase his tail.

Until I met a blind man who taught me how to see, Yeah, a blind man who could change night into day, And if I can, I'm gonna let you come with me, Because here comes the sun and we'll be chasin' all the clouds away!

--Aerosmith

If the sun refused to shine, I would still be lovin' you.

When mountains crumble to the sea, There would still be you and me.

Sing with me, sing for the years, sing for the laughter and sing for the tears, Sing with me if it's just for today, Maybe tomorrow the good Lord'll take you away.

Aerosmith

Thanks teachers, thanks friends. It's been fun.

Tsssssssssssss!!!

Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, Tears of loves lost in the days gone by.

My love is strong, with you there is no wrong, Together we shall go until we die.

And so today, my world it smiles, Your hand in mine, we walk the miles, Thanks to you it will be done, For you to me are the only one.

DAVID WRIGHT High school has been an incredible experience. I can remember the beginning of seventh grade, my first few days at Bancroft, at Chewonki.

So much has happened since then, so many great memories. Thanks first of all to my family, Mom, Dad and Paul, who have been so supportive and loving. Thanks to every teacher that I've had; you have inspired me to achieve. Thanks so much to all my friends and every person that made school fun. I will remember my years here with a smile.

To me, every hour of the day and night is an unspeakably perfect miracle. -Walt Whitman

"It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route...1 had not lived there a week before my feet wore a path from my door to the pond-side... The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels...

"I found this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

-Thoreau, Walden

Well, it's been quite a ride: from the Middle School days of ignorance, through the rough freshman life under the Martellian Regime, to today, the finished product of my Bancroft life. I definitely would not be here if it weren't for my friends (you know who you are), Aerosmith, the 49ers and the Braves.

To my friends- We made it, with the help of certain people (mostly Haas). Stick with the Fantasy sports because it's a

good way to stay in touch. Keep reaching for that rainbow!

David Alexander Yood

Teachers and CoachesThank you all for the life lessons that you taught. I will never forget the grueling wrestling practices suffered at the hands of Mr. Sherry, while Mr. Heavey and Mr. Salit

seemed to enjoy firing lacrosse balls of high velocity going right at my head. I'd also like to thank Mrs. Ulbrich for the food and the support.

Mom- Thanks for repeatedly saving my butt. You've always been there.

Dad- Thank you for always being honest and trying to keep me sane.

Sara- Thanks for relating with me regarding all of the things going on.

Jamie- You will always be dumb. Thanks for putting up with me. Enjoy post-master life. The phone's there for a reason, so use it.

Life's a journey, not a destination, And I just can't tell just what tomorrow brings.

-Aerosmith Long you live and high you fly, And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry, And all you touch and all you see, Is all your life will ever be.

OK...we've been sitting here about twenty minutes trying to think about what to write and nothing has come to mind, kind of like what happens when taking an AP Calc test during senior slide. Guys, its been a great ride - have a nice life - well see you later. Well.. maybe the previous statement isn't quite as heartfelt as it should be.

There was once a time when all we cared about were toys, snack, and nap time—a time when the girls in our class obsessed about teddy bears and fantasized about Andrew Haddad, while the boys dreamed of Ninja Turtles and listened enviously to stories of Kim in the tunnel. The year was 1989, and the sandboxers of our class were finishing their first year of kindergarten. For context, here are some of the highlights of 1989: John Tumolo finished his second year of kindergarten with flying colors; George Bush was inaugurated president; the Hispanic population passed the 20 million mark; Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Batman, and Ghostbusters II were hits at the box office; Rain Man won best picture; video game Zero Wing was introduced (the source of the Internet cult rock video ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US); George Michael's Faith won best album; Exxon Valdez poisoned the Alaskan seas; the 49ers won Super Bowl XXIII; and American forces invaded Panama. It is appropriate for our class to have begun its Bancroft career in such a historic year. If you can believe it, all these events occurred about thirteen years ago, about the same time span it takes for a boy or girl to reach puberty (except for Dave Wright). From the initial thirty or so students who began kindergarten at Bancroft, only eight remain, but those remaining sandboxers have been joined by individuals who collectively form a class unique in its compassion towards others, cohesion, and leadership (maybe that's an overstatement).

Over the past thirteen years, we have experienced many memorable historical and personal events, all of which contribute to the people that we are—like the time that goat urinated on my (Matt's) leg at Old Sturbridge Village in third grade. Obviously that doesn't measure up to the U.S. raining on Noriega's drug parade or our castration of Saddam in the Gulf, but it is a significant event nonetheless. For our class, so many memories find a common origin at Bancroft. Some memories come from teachers such as Mrs. Truesdell and Mrs. Seale in the lower school, from the middle school classrooms of Effinger and MacGilpin, or from the high school think tanks of McMillan, Heavey, and White. Many remember the lower school playground swings and football games, the perverted fascination with the word "it," the multiple times John Tumolo almost died on class trips, or the stimulating discussions with Mr. Thoms and Mr. Rocha. The memories of collaborative experiences in school plays (remember when Loopy got a little too aggressive), and at unique places such as Chewonki and Caribou will always be cherished. In culmination, the anxiety, excitement, and disappointment of the college process leave us limp and numb as we slide towards graduation. To be honest, it is impossible for either of us to reflect on any memorable experience without feeling bad about leaving another out. So, to make it short, our class shares countless memories (one that will certainly never escape the minds of some Upper Schoolers is the term "Smith" which has had a profound effect on Bancroft vernacular) from inside and outside of the classroom that will last a lifetime.

Friends have come and gone, battles have been fought, lovers have said their hello's and good-bye's, and transient memories of our childhood whisper on the wind, but our class has survived like Richard Hatch.

As we exit the Upper School, we recall the struggles and triumphs in class and on teams, and ponder about our futures and where life may lead us. Forrest Gump said it best: "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."

Yours Truly.

John Tumolo and Matt Rosales

Loving Husband and Father, Dedicated Educator, & Good Friend

Every summer, as a new school year approached, Chris Boone wrote to the Middle School faculty. An excerpt follows.

"Jane and I have spent many hours digging and dumping with Teddy's construction vehicles and uncovering hidden sandcrabs at the beach to Isabelle's great fascination. With the luxury of time, I have also engaged in some personal mining: sorting and sifting through my years at Bancroft in preparation for what is to come. I am looking forward to plunging in with all of you and going for one extraordinary ride.

Make no doubt about it — surf is up."

International Ties

Audrey Colas I'm Audrey, a French exchange student, and I stayed at Bancroft for the whole school year. I would like to thank all the teachers who helped me to progress in English (Mr. McMillan, Senorita Telenson, Mr. Salit, Mrs. Pucci°, Mrs. Pearson, and Ms. Jersild).

Also, I want to thank Mr. Mathieu, who helped me to be more sure in my classes that I took this year. Then, I want to thank the families who accomodated me. Also, thank you to all my friends who comforted me when to be away from my family was hard.

FRANCE March 17-30

ENGLAND March 17-30

Upon entering France after a seven-hour flight, I was nervous about what to expect.

My family welcomed me with warmth, and soon enough I didn't feel like a stranger anymore. For the next two weeks, I adapted to French life, such as eating "pain au chocolat" as a supplement to every meal, using my "carte orange" to its full extent, and eating dinner between the hours of 8:00 and 10:30. Our group of thirteen students saw many famous sights, including the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, Sacre Coeur, chateaus, in Amboise and Chantilly, and, of course, "les grands magasins." We tried new foods such as the "croque monsieur" and our odd-smelling lunches, and ate the usual baguettes and crêpes for which France is famous. Most of all, we bonded as a group, sharing so many French experiences. I'd like to thank Ms. Wilson and Mr. Glenn for leading a wonderful trip and putting up with all of us teenagers for two whole weeks. We couldn't have had a better spring break and we enjoyed every minute of our international experience.

-Stephanie Cohen

After many delays at the airport, we finally arrived in London, tired but excited and a little nervous. Were we going to like these people with whom we were staying and had never met? We all adapted to life in Portsmouth fairly quickly, understanding the accent and picking up on many British phrases. Our three-day trip to London brought us to many tourist attractions, such as Big Ben, the House of Parliament, and the Globe Theater. We made some great friends and have so many memories we will never forget.

Thanks to our chaperones, Mr. Deal and Mr. Cummings, for putting up with us loud Americans for two weeks.

Student Council Left to Right: Kelly Turner, Scott Nicholson, Caitlin McDonough, Ant DaIli, Charles Tingue, Mr. Salit, Alyssa DiPasquale, David Slatkin, Jamie Yood, Emily Vasiliauskas

The Student Council thrived this year due to an explosive combination of savvy upperclassmen representatives, enthusiastic underclassmen members, and a dashingly handsome and incredibly charismatic president. After tackling issues like the Referendum Clause and Elective options for sophomores, the Council focused on the Post-Prom Event.

The Council took a historic step by calling a meeting of the Council, the Prom Committee, faculty members, and parent representatives. Next year looks really good for the Council, and I'm sure continued success is on the horizon.

The new members of the Board this year were freshmen Aly Glick and Abby Reid, sophomore Matt "Krazelburg" Shack, juniors Larry "Dunduda" Atupem and Nyna Vo and senior Meg McLaughlin. The returning members were sophomore Hanna Kaufman, and seniors John "the Tuna" Tumolo, Matt Rosales, and Student Council president Charles "Pork Surprise" Tingue. During the middle of the year Dean Martin left for the Admissions Office and we were helped out by Mr. Pollock briefly and then Mrs. Aitken -Matt Rosales picked us up for the last half of the year.

A tradition that has already made its mark in Bancroft's history, this funky, fun-filled faction is well on its way under the guidance of its heaven-sent advisor Ms. Pappas. Props to Pappas and Eileen Gardner, our personal babysitter, and the Bancroft community for all your continued enthusiasm and support.

Amnesty International is a worldwide organization that works to promote all human rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international standards.

Bancroft's Amnesty International worked toward the freeing of Tibet from China, halting the persecution of women in Afghanistan, and other international affairs concerning political prisoners, mysterious killings, and disappearances. Bancroft's Amnesty would like to thank those who supported us and were active in our events, including the letter-writing campaigns, fundraising events, and human rights education.

Bancroft Beacon

The newspaper has had an awesome year publishing many 12page issues. The writers have been enthusiastic and consistent in their writings. A big thanks to Mr. Stein and Mr. Enlow. From world news to United States news to school news to entertainment to photo montages to Mr. Deal's column, this year's Beacons have been fun to read. Seize the day and don't forget the three main components of a true journalist's life: EAT, SLEEP, and WRITE! -Elana Kaufman & Colin Probert

Bancroft Hosts

We started the year with an exciting pizza party where we recruited many new members. The hosts are essential to our admission process. The day prospective students spend at Bancroft helps them make their final decision. We are sure that every prospective student got a good impression of our school this year. Thank you to all hosts and Mr. Bagley, Ms. Martin and Mrs. Lamir.

Bubbling with energy, eighteen enthusiastic girls burst into the Bancroft music scene this year as the newest a cappella group, The Blue Belles. Singing like stars, these girls had fun this year joking, laughing, working together, eating Dum-Dums, and being "The Mighty Ducks." In the community, we performed for assemblies and in concerts as well as for nursing homes and the UMass Children's Ward. As a new club filled with outstanding women singers, we can look forward to more great years of music and fun. It's been tough getting started, but the best is yet to come.

Blue Moon

The Blue Moon Staff once again had a great year making the yearbook. The members of the staff worked very hard to complete the 2001 yearbook. Thankfully, the staff had the tremendous help and support of Ms. Wilson and Ms. Jersild who invested a great deal of their time and effort making this yearbook a success. The Business and Photo Staff were also crucial in raising funds, and providing candids. Thank you to everyone who helped make the yearbook.

The Buddy Program

The Buddy Program helps to smooth out the transition for students new to Bancroft. All new students in the Upper School are paired with "Big Buddies," students who have been at Bancroft for one or more years. Throughout the school year, buddy pairs participate in activities such as a make-your-own-sundae party and a candy hunt out in the field. Even after the first few months of school, buddies still see each other, even just to say a quick "hello." Thanks to all of the buddies, big and little, who participated in this year's program. Also, thanks to our club advisor Ms. Martin.

Sales shot through the ceiling this year with the addition of the Mixology machine. The canteen achieved record profits. Thanks to the endless hunger that seems to plague the school, the canteen made enough money to donate a Thanksgiving dinner and several Christmas presents to a poor family. We are looking forward to another profitable year and hope to donate even more to charity in the years to follow.

The co-chairs, Rachel, Liza, and big man, enthusiastically organized activities and attempted to keep things under control. This year has been another incredible success due to John's and Ben's unparalleled physical fortitude in scooter city, the charismatic and endearing maternal natures of both Liza and Rachel, and the uncompromising support of Ms. Martin. The program has a very bright future, and we wish the best to the future leaders and participants.

After last year's continuously declining numbers, this year was supposed to be a rebuilding year. That's not to say that we haven't been potent in our small numbers. With our ambitious schedule, we will soon be major competitors in the Debator Association of New England's Independent Schools contesting other rowdy academies in debates and mock trials. With the wise and witty faculty guidance of Mr. Deal and Mr. Mathieu, we will be eager to have exponential growth within the club next year adding fresh blood to our already vivacious roster.

The Disciplinary Committee is comprised of an elected representative from each Upper School grade, two faculty members, the Student Council president and a Disciplinary Committee chairperson. We hear student cases and deliberate until a compromise is reached. Then, we vote on a recommendation, and the D.C. chairperson conveys this decision to Mr. Pollock and the Dean of Students. The D.C. is an optional resource for students that considers a variety of disciplinary violations. We bring different perspectives to the disciplinary process and offer valuable insight to the administration. Respect, compassion, and careful consideration are key to our deliberation process. The D.C. has found an important spot at Bancroft.

In September, the Fly-Fishing Club attracted many curious students as a result of our effective advertising at the club fair. The number leveled off at fourteen enthusiastic young fishermen/women. The club practiced casting through the fall and knot-tying and rod-building during the winter. The movie A River Runs Through It brightened up the months when trout streams were frozen. Jeff Guntharp from Redington Fly Rods spoke to us about technique, equipment, and passion for the sport. Thanks to all who participated in the club this year.

It honestly does not matter if you are gay, straight, bisexual, or transgendered; black, white, latino, or Italian; blue-eyed, blind, a smoker, or a workaholic. Underneath it all, you are a human with ideas and emotions. The Gay-Straight Alliance serves as a safe place for people to voice their opinions and ideas. It is not only about sexual orientation and sexuality, it is about tolerance. Our goal this year was to spread this tolerance, to let it seep into the Bancroft community and into our lives. If we stopped one ignorant person from calling out "faggot" in the hall, we have succeeded. We are proud of everyone who carried the rainbow and proclaimed truce. Peace.

We would like to thank Ms. Martin, Mrs. Aitken, and our director Mary for all of their help. A special thanks goes to all of the Bancroft buddies who volunteered their time to make this program special.

The Bancroft Outing and Science Club had another great year.

BOSC's mission is to educate the community about the environment through hands-on experience. Our annual trip to Mt. Moosilauke was very successful.

Recycling was taken out of BOSC's hands this year which left us time to pursue more outings. BOSC projects include the annual Blood Drive and painting the recycling toters. Lastly, we would like to thank our members and faculty advisors for making this year as successful as possible!

Peer One Left to Right: Alexis Giannopoulos, Mr. Myers, Dave Nicholson, Margaret Bacon, Greta Scheibel, Jess Feldman, Diana Desai, Ben Greenberg, Jake Cutler

Peer One is a club that works towards an increased awareness of issues that are relevant to teenagers today, whether it be sexuality, drugs and alcohol, tobacco, or other related issues. Peer One does not aim to make decisions for students. Instead, we aim to educate students so they can make wise choices for themselves. We educate students visually, often with movies or skits that mix seriousness and humor in order to communicate a certain message, such as "Do Not Drink and Drive." Our members meet once a rotation to discuss the issues deemed most important. We hope that our hard work will succeed in preparing Upper Schoolers for situations in which their decisions will have long-lasting effects. Thanks to our members and Mr. Myers!

Powder & Wig

This year P&W had a higher club attendance than any other club in the Bancroft Upper School! With this huge amount of devoted and enthusiastic members, we were able to successfully accomplish many of our goals for the year, including the Star Struck Dance, Open Mic Night, the riveting drama "Enemy of the People," and the hilariously hilarious musical "Once Upon a Mattress." Our annual trip to NY gave us a chance to watch Broadway stars in action, and go shopping at the Gap! P&W members contributed a great deal to all of these events and made them as dudical as they were. Thanks to all of you hip cats and see you all next year!

-The Powder & Wig Board

Prom Committee Prom 2001 was held at the Omni Parker House in Boston on April 28.

Yale Model Congress was a blast this year. We didn't get to any Model U.N. conferences, but we all participated in one of the country's largest and most respected Model Congress conferences. Bancroft students got most of their bills passed through their committees, although (only because of biased general assembly chairs) not into full sessions. Many young debaters were born, and the club will rest in good hands next year. The members know the importance of their tasks, and we guarantee that the leaders of tomorrow will include former members of Bancroft Model Congress/U.N. Great job at Yale and most hope for a bright future.

The Women's Varsity Soccer Team began its season with many new faces. With six spots to fill, we had our work cut out for us. We really came together as a team after our victory over our rival, Pingree. Although this past season proved to be more competitive than others, the team's unity only grew stronger. After the Men's Golf Team cheated its way through a scrimmage and claimed victory, we decided never to let down again. Although we had some defeats, we learned from our mistakes and grew as a team. Good luck to next year's team!

The Men's Soccer Team had a solid season in the fall of 2000. During this season, in which morale remained high, we doubled our wins total from last year, with four. With wins over Rocky Hill, Chapel Hill twice, and Concord, we distanced ourselves from the cellar of the league, which we inhabited last year. After losing by many goals to [CA at their homecoming, the next week we held them 1-1 until the final minutes, when they scored to win. LCA finished at the top of the league, proving that we could have contended with any team (except Berwick). Throughout the season we seemed to rise or fall to meet the opposing team's playing ability. We were not troubled with a scoring deficiency; the majority of the players scored at least one goal over the seventeen games.

The senior captains wish next year's captains, Dave Nicholson, Sam Truesdell, and Will Howerton, a successful season in the fall of 2001.

Squad 2000, finished the season with a 15-1-2 record—with the scoring punch coming from the front line of Captain Katie Meyer, Erica "Fatty" Marois, Didi Eze, and Angela Russo. This line was backed up by a strong midfield which included Meghan Rea, Michelle Farina and Captain Christine Holder. With our outstanding goalie, Liza Michie, the Squad allowed only 9 goals against. Rounding out the defense were Jess Aversa and Lexi Tumolo.

The Squad had seven Eastern Independent League All-Stars as we captured our fourth straight E.I.L. title. Squad 2K also achieved a first seed in the NEPSAC class C tournament. The Squad found its success thanks to Ariane Lenis, Jen Connolly, Stephie Cohen, Carrie Trencher, Becky Holden, Katherine Radin, Vera Zavin, and Shelby Catino.

Coming into the season with hopes of a championship banner, the Bancroft Golf Team was quite disillusioned after losing its first match to LCA. But with strong performances from the fearsome front five of Chris Finn, Q. Karmue, Charlie Tingue, Andrew "Workboots" Haddad, and Matt "Angel Food" Rosales, and the help of two promising freshmen, Scott Nicholson and Bruce Baird, the team managed to regroup and finish a respectable three and four. Although the team's victories against Concord, Chapel Hill, and Landmark were convincing, our greatest achievement occurred off the golf course and on the Bancroft playing fields. On a brisk November afternoon the Golf Team challenged the Women's Soccer Team to a friendly game. Although both teams played well, Golf came out on top, winning 4-1. We would like to thank our coach Mr. Salit, Nick's Famous Roast Beef, and Bob Stein. The Golf Team would have struggled without their advice and encouragement.

You thought we were rebuilding- but we just reloaded!

With Dr. Pepper in tow, the Cross Country Team prepared to fight many battles this season. With the aid of inspiring speeches (Coach O'Brien), battle quotes (Coach Fitz), and battle wounds (Nyna Vo), the team defeated its opponents. The competition was fierce, but we emerged victorious. We left Dana Hall in the dust. Twice. And Pingree, did we ever even race Pingree? They weren't even contenders. The midseason addition of the amazing Kristen Brownell aided our quest for a fifth consecutive championship and a 17-meet winning streak in our undefeated season. With two female all-stars and a large trophy, we trekked home from Pingree after a successful league meet. We continued our performance at the New England's, and ended up with the 5th place Runna McDonough and the 7th place amazing Brownell leading the team to a 4th place overall. And of course we can't forget senior captain Kate Sliwoski's inspirational cheer, "love you gug!"

The Men's Cross Country Team's season was successful in a different way from the Women's Team. Sadly, we lost battles to both Berwick and Pingree, but we put up a good fight and accepted our defeat with our goals set on more hard work and determination. The three crazy freshmen, Kevin Brownell, Dave Eypper, Jake Remillard, and 8th grader, Scott D-C, added great potential for future victories. We finished our season with a solid 14-5 record. We also brought back two League All-Stars, junior captain Josh Lubatkin and freshman Jake Remillard. The team came out third overall for another consecutive season. A new era of battles has begun for the Men's Cross Country Team. We will continue our Dr. Pepper tradition with pride.

-Captains Nate Saperia and Josh Lubatkin

Ski Team

Front Row (kr): Aly Glick, David Eypper, Meghan McLaughlin, Alex Dow, Emily Baird, Cal Scannell. Middle Row (kr): John Tumolo, Margaret Bacon, Julie Nicholson, Jessica Feldman, Katie Meyer, David Wright, Adam Hershman. Back Row (kr): Coach Jane Gerhardt, Jessica Weisberger, Scott Nicholson, Nate Lemay, Andrew Haddad, Chris Finn, David Filiberti, Erik Pearson, Ruth Ebert, Coach Cornell We were blessed this year with plenty of snow and plenty of talented skiers. The Ski Team had its most successful year in its history. Both the women's and men's teams brought in numerous points each week, allowing the men to place third overall and the women to take home second place. Men and women combined, the Bancroft Ski team captured second place. Mr. Kelley is going to have to make room for all our trophies!

Eighth grader Emily Baird received an impressive 5th place overall with Meg McLaughlin following close behind in 7th place. With his skills and talents improving from last season, Dave Filiberti received a well-deserved 3rd place trophy. Although six seniors are leaving, the team will be in good hands for next season.... AND THEY WILL DEMOLISH WORCESTER ACADEMY! -Captains Meg McLaughlin and Alex Dow p.s. Thank you to Jess Aversa for carrying down the coats each week!

Men's Basketball

Front Row (I-r): A.J. Bellino, Darren Howerton, Matt Rosales, Josh Lubatkin, Q. Karmue, Umar Salimi. Back Row (I-r): Coach O'Brien, Jon Dunn, Chuck Tingue, Ben Weisberger, Tod Sch utter, Larry Atupem, Will Howerton, Coach Bellino

This year's Men's Basketball Team had a good season. We started off with a very tough schedule that included a one-point loss to St. Sebastian's, whose starting 2g was Rick Pitino's son. After a couple of bad losses we had our backs against the wall. With a record of 4-7 with two league losses, we couldn't afford to lose again. So, we ripped off a ten-game win streak. The League title came down to the last day of the season. We suffered a heartbreaking loss to Chapel Hill. And although Beaver clinched first place by beating LCA with an incredibly lucky 3 at the buzzer, we still made the NEPSAC tournament. We ended the season with a 15-10 record with key contributions from Jon Dunn, Benno, Chuck, Darren, and Will. This year's team had 3 All-Stars: A.J. Bellino, Matt Rosales, and Josh Lubatkin. Next year we will greatly miss seniors Q. Karmue, Chuck Tingue, and especially captain Matt Rosales.

Women's Basketball

Coming back from last year's disappointing season, the Women's Basketball Team was ready to work hard and make the 2000-2001 season as successful as possible.

The team finished up a fun-filled season with a record of 11-11. Even though sometimes we had trouble putting together two good halves of basketball, the team never backed down from a challenge. This team was aggressive to the end, always fighting for possession, boxing out underneath, and taking the ball strong to the basket. As a result of our coaches' hard work and all the players strong efforts, we finished fourth in the league. Thank you to all who made this season a fun and exciting one! To future players: good luck and have fun!

-Captains Erica Marois, Christine Holder, and Mary Fuller

Wrestling

Front Row (1-r): Justin Lesniewski, David Yood. Back Row (1-r): Coach Fisher, Kyle Lesniewski, Jake Remillard, Prince Ekeson, Kevin Brownell, Ryan McDonough, Kate Sliwoski

This year's Wrestling Team had an outstanding year. With a strong freshman class and a brand new coach, the team was bound for success. Coach Fisher was the only woman coach in the entire NEPSAC League. Victories became a staple of the team, as every wrestler placed in the top three of his or her respective weight classes. Captain Justin Lesniewski dominated the 1191b. weight class. Overall, the team finished an amazing third place out of six. For a team with only six eligible wrestlers, third place was an outstanding feat. This was the best wrestling team since the start of the program. Thank you to everyone who helped us out. To the team of the future: stop fooling around, you'll be great!

-Captains Dave Yood and Justin Lesniewski

Volleyball

Front Row (I-r): Maya Litani, Emily Dore, Dena Raffa. Back Row (I-r): Coach Stein, Sin i Bream, Nyna Vo, Libby Brennan, Leah Manchester, Uyen Le

The Women's Varsity Volleyball Team was extremely successful this season. We were undefeated in the league, with a record of 14-0. Overall, we held strong with a record of 14-1, only losing to the team who would go on to win the NEPSAC tournament.

Throughout the season, each of our team's eight players made her own contributions.

Emily Dore and Dena Raffa were the team's two setters. Maya played as an outside hitter along with Sin i Bream. Libby and Nyna were middle blockers and the team's power spikers. Uyen was the team's consistent server and went one game with 15 points in a row, a task never before accomplished by a Bancroft volleyball player.

Leah, the only sophomore on the team, would come in and set for Dena and Emily.

The most exhausting match of the season was an away game against Dana Hall. The match went for three games (which only happened once the whole season) with Bancroft winning the first and last games. It was the most powerful and exhilarating match of the season and our greatest accomplishment. Each girl's individual skills created a successful season for Bancroft volleyball.

-Captains Dena Raffa, Emily Dore, and Maya Litani
