is from a different senior.
THE CLASS OF 2016’S LETTER TO OUR
UNDERCLASSMEN SELVES, TO CURRENT
UNDERCLASSMEN, AND TO ANYONE WHO
NEEDS A REMINDER
This is our gift to you, the legacy that we are leaving.
 “Something that you think is the biggest deal in the world
today, you will look back on and laugh about three years
later.”
 “BOYS aren't everything."
 “Put down your phone and look at the world around you. A
big adventure will never happen from looking at that small
screen, and you will regret that time you wasted in
cyberspace when you could have been making something
of yourself.”
 “Catholic High is truly a special place. Cherish your time
here.”
 “Don't let other people's actions affect you; you're living
your life, not theirs. Do what you love, and love what you
do."
 “You will experience some of the toughest times of your
teenage years, but the lessons that will come out of these
tough times are so worth it. Stay humble, work hard, and
cherish the memories that you will make in high school
because before you know it you will be walking across that
by Maddy Mazzotta
We are scholars, yet we are wait-until-midnight-to-open-ourbackpack procrastinators; we have comrades and enemies, yet
we are all fighting on the same side; we are confused, angry,
afraid, yet full of vibrant colors, life, and knowledge; we are
both children and adults; our ears hear nothing and everything;
our hearts readily love all except ourselves, and we wonder
why, as a result, they break; we cannot wait to leave high
school, yet we know graduation will be bittersweet; our first
reaction when our parents tell us practically any advice is to
disagree, yet we understand they are usually right; we are
dreamers, philosophers, musicians, doctors, artists,
peacemakers, engineers, scientists, analysts, writers; and, we
are, all of us, different from when we showed up for our first
day, four years ago.
We are seniors.
A couple of months ago, each of us
selected a quote by someone else
for the yearbook to go beside our
senior picture. Mostly, that
someone else was famous and lived
many, many years ago. In this letter,
that is not the case. Four years is a
long and trying time for us
teenagers who are constantly
growing, learning, making
mistakes, and then making them
again. We have a lot to say. Without
the constraints of being judged, due
to the letter’s anonymity, we are
free to say what we wish.
This letter contains advice, taken
straight from our minds, that we
wish we had been given to us at the
start of high school. Of course, we
do not know everything, though
sometimes we think we do. We will
go to college soon, or the military,
or wherever our passions take us, and we will morph and
change, make more mistakes, and make them again. Then,
we’ll be thrust into the foreign land of adulthood where we’ll
truly be on our own with nothing but an education, friends that
we have hopefully retained, that shadow of student debt, and
the realization that being popular will not help us open the next
necessary door for ourselves. We will learn when we get there,
though. Right now, we are leaving a piece of ourselves in this
letter, full of words that may seem general, yet spell the answer
to evading a heartbreak, or regret, that the author wish they
knew sooner.
stage wondering where the time went."
 “Choose your friends wisely.”
 “Be flexible because even if you have a plan for something,
plans change”
 “Pay close attention to the company you keep, your friends
really are a reflection of who you are.”
 “Being honest doesn't mean you're being rude.”
 “Live each and every moment to the fullest, these truly are
the best years of your life."
 “Everything happens for a reason.”
 “Accept who you are and what you stand for and you will
be happy.”
 “Don't worry about anybody else. Focus on yourself and
making the best out of it.”
Our hope is that you, the reader, take these words and let them
aid you on your journey. Read them knowing that we seniors
wrote them specifically, anonymously, and full of reflection on
-2-
 “Listen to your mom; she is always right about the big
things.”
 “Mistakes don't define you!”
 “Please don't worry about if you're popular or if the cool
kids like you. It's the nights you spend talking to your best
friends and the moments where you die laughing that you'll
remember. All you need are the best friends."
 “Keep to yourself. What's your business is your business
and no one but you needs to know what's going on.”
 “Try to understand people. Or at least know that you don’t
understand them. You don’t know what it’s like to live their
life, you don’t understand their past or know their fears,
insecurities, or dreams. You will get your heart broken, by
boys, by friends, by a lot of different people in a lot of
different ways. Don’t let it harden your heart, don’t get
bitter, don’t hate. Just try to understand.”
 “Once you let go of negative people, positive ones appear"
 “Be yourself and make lots of friends.”
 “Social media is not a diary, and you will regret someday
that you treated it like one.”
 “Don't think you're better than everyone else. You are not
and you will prove that time and time again and won't even
see it until you become me. And I know you would read
this and tell yourself you don't think you're self-absorbed
and you'd believe it. Try harder to see how flawed you are.
Stop running away from things that make you feel, stop
wasting time, and learn a lesson or two, or nine, when the
universe gives you the chance. Just don't be an idiot. Also,
you'll turn out okay.”
 “Everything will work out as it’s supposed to be.”
 “Friends truly do come and go, but those who stick by you
and are there for you when you are at your lowest become
your second family.”
 “Get involved in everything you can. Clubs are wonderful
things."
 “You need to surround yourself with positivity.
Surrounding yourself with negativity will only attract more
negativity. Be sure to be true to yourself. In the end, that's
what matters most!"
 “Take time to slow down & appreciate all the memories
with old friends, new friends, and good friends.”
 “Don't be scared to be different or take the road less
traveled by… because only when you are yourself is when
you'll discover true happiness."
 “Be who you want to be, not the person everyone wants
you to be”
 “Senior year is when you find who your true friends are.”
 “Don't rush to grow up.”
 “Going into high school is scary. It’s not what you’re used
to, but don’t let that affect you. Make sure you go
into/through high school with a positive attitude and you’ll
be okay. High school is one of the biggest moments in life.
Being a freshman is not as bad as it looks or people make it
out to be. Freshman year is the best year because you’re
meeting people from different schools and getting to know
new things, and experiencing what it’s like to be a high
schooler. Be brave, be friendly, and don’t forget to enjoy
every second of it because before you know it, you’re going
to be a senior in English class writing a paper giving advice
to younger kids that are now in the same position that you
were once in. It’s all about having fun and making

memories with friends. But don’t worry, you’ll figure it out
along the way.”
“Freshman and sophomore grades DO matter. Don't wait
until junior and senior year.”
“Communication is everything.”
“High School will be gone in a flash. Be open and expect
the unexpected. The memories will add up quickly."
“Being a conformist or a nonconformist… neither matters,
because even being a nonconformist is conforming to
trying to be different. Be yourself. If part of your
personality is something a conformist is like, be it anyway.
If something about you is different, keep it different. Trying
too hard to be different ends up making you the same as the
rest who are trying too hard to be different. Never lose
yourself in a quest to be liked.”
“Just do it.”
“The kind of friends you keep do matter.”
“Freshman me, academically this year counts!"
“Question everything that is told to you, and learn every
side of it. Only then will you develop a true opinion.”
“You should always focus on your homework because it
has a bigger impact than you think it does.”
“Do your homework and study.”
“It's better to have less friends than be popular with the
wrong ones.”
Though our hope is that our words inspire and help you, do not
be afraid to mess up. We are all imperfect humans with free
will, and we all make mistakes. You will never learn if you
bundle up and hide from being wrong every once in a while.
Life is an untamable, wild entity, and it can be difficult to
handle at times; but, it is also really, truly beautiful, and it is
always a gift. So, add wood to the fire of your exciting life,
and surround yourself with people who will help you keep the
embers burning. Go on adventures, try new things, and be kind
to everyone you meet.
Catholic High will give you the tools and opportunities to
grow into your own person. Take them, and feel fulfilled by
the time you graduate, knowing that you made the most out of
your high school experience.
You will feel comforted and look ahead towards the future
with a sense of readiness, knowing you are adequately
prepared.
We know your experiences will be unique and wonderful, just
like each of ours.
Sincerely,
The Class of 2016

the contest by a score of 10-2.
The Lady Crusaders thank Coach O’Grady for everything he
has done for the CCHS softball team in the past 33 years. He
always saw talent in each girl and was determined to help them
succeed. They hope to have more successful seasons in the
future and can't wait for next year.
SOFTBALL
by Jenny Picarillo
The Lady Crusaders Softball Team had a very successful
season finishing with a record of 11 wins and 6 losses. They
had a big win in the Uncle Sam Tournament coming in first
place against Lansingburgh High School and Stillwater High
School. Coach O’Grady said this meant a lot to him knowing
it was his last tournament with the Lady Crusaders. The
Diocesan Dash took place on Saturday, May 14 at The
Crossings in Colonie. Our very own Spencer Daley '20 took
home first place in the 5K
BASEBALL 2016
by Gillian Nadeau
Although the Crusader high school baseball team had a rough
season, there's a promising future. The new Baseball coach,
Richard Hughto, and his assistant coach, Luke Hansen have
the Crusaders underclassmen looking forward to next year as
they begin their summer work outs and activities.
While the season was not terribly successful in terms of wins
and losses, it was a season which saw the development of team
spirit and fond memories. One of the things Ben McHarg will
remember is the homerun he hit. The players had high
compliments for their new coach and teammates:
 "It was long but fun. I loved the coach" – Josh Helenek
 "Couldn't have asked for better guys to share the diamond
with! Coach is always there for us through thick and thin!
One of the greatest coaches I've ever had in my life!" –
Lukas Wall
 "Best time of my life." -Matt Korkemaz
 "They're my family." – Mark Curry
The team played a challenging game on senior night. Losing to
Schalmont was disappointing but the girls played their hardest.
That night was Gillian Nadeau and Kyrstin Messier's last home
game with the Lady Crusaders. Senior, Gill Nadeau said, “It
was a great year and I spent it with some of the most talented
girls. The team had a lot of heart and I hope they keep the
momentum for next year”.
So although they may have ended with a 2- 17 record, the next
season should be a great start of something new. The baseball
team would like to honor and wish the seniors good luck on
their future endeavors.

The Lady Crusaders made it to sectionals this year playing

been a big rival of CCHS so this was a very exciting game. To
add to the rivalry, Twins Jenny Picarillo (CCHS) and Jill
Picarillo (Troy), faced each other in this softball sectional
