If you were fortunate enough to grow up in the community, you realize the term “Sachem” is much more than the name of the high school mascot . Sachemhood symbolizes the memories and friendships molded at SHS. The Saugus High School class of 2004 will be celebrating our 15-year reunion at the Fox Hill Yacht Club in our hometown of Saugus. Bring your dancing shoes, as we will have Special Guest DJ Mark M, and Master of Ceremonies Tugboat dropping the hottest tracks of today while masterfully mixing in throwbacks from the early 2000’s. There will be a 50/50 and mega raffle which is full of prizes from local businesses as well as tickets to sporting events. Tickets for class HEROIC AWARDS | from page 3 The smoke was so thick – from the floor to the ceiling – that Cross and Arone had to crawl into the apartment. Their thermal imaging device failed to determine whether anyone was inside. But when the firefighters heard somebody coughing on the kitchen floor, they acted quickly to drag the semiconscious victim to safety and were later credited with saving the man’s life. Saugus Fire Department Capt. Christopher Rizza said there was no question that Cross and Arone saved the life of the man who suffered burns in the Falmouth Street fire. “He was barely breathing on his own when they found him, and I don’t think they had too many seconds left to save him,” Rizza told The Saugus Advocate in an interview last year. “If they had hesitated, they probably would have gotten him out, but I doubt he would be alive. Even the thermal imaging device wasn’t working properly, so they did a great job in finding him and getting him out of the building as quickly as they could,” he said. Arone, a 2004 Saugus High School graduate who has been on the Fire Department for four and a half years, recalled the members are $25 prior to the event or $40 at the door, which includes a catered dinner and raffle ticket.

We look forward to making this year’s reunion the best one yet! smoky conditions hindering visibility greatly. “You couldn’t see a hand in front of your face, with the smoke going all the way from the floor to the ceiling,” Arone said. “But these tough conditions are exactly what we were trained for. And with Billy [Cross] having 20-plus years on the job, I couldn’t be working with anybody better. And once we heard that gentleman cough on the floor, everything turned to rescue mode. Bill and I dragged that gentleman out to safety,” he said. Cross, a 1985 Saugus High School graduate, has spent more than two decades on the town’s Fire Department.
