Is There Really a Difference? With all the changes that took place, was Hicksville H.S. really different this year? School was... school! Everyone’s sched- ule still consisted of the same ba- sic courses: phys. ed., social studies, English, government and whatever. However, as we all know, school is much more than just schedules. School is rela- tionships. This year the changes we faced gave us a chance to Oih gr d r worked together 10 build the Senior float at Patty Grady' how .

It wasn’t easy staying close with old friends while try- ing to make new ones, but change is inevitable and always a learning experience. One thing that never changes, however, was the ev- eryday problems of growing up and the pressure we face in our teen years. Some of the rules at H.H.S. changed, but high school life stayed the same because it’s we the students here at H.H.S. that made the school what it is, not the rules and regulations.

vianriiKani Difference “Family, Ca- reer, Friends, that someone special, all spinning inside of us at once. ” If there ever came a time when the world stopped, and all of our outside re- alities were sud- denly stripped away, you may find in what re- mains, a handful of dreams, be- liefs and unanswered questions. These things are always present, no matter who we are or where we stand. They pull us from one scene to another, shifting the sets of all as- pects of our lives. Family, career, friends, that someone special, all spinning inside of us at once. Sometimes these things conflict and choices must be made. Tough decisions can make us tear our- selves apart with greater vigor than could a most hated foe. Know that the greatest battles we fought were very often the conflicts within our minds and there were times when uncertainty longed for control - more unanswered questions: When? How? For what reason?. We could nev- er be sure. However, right or wrong, decisions were made. Now it is done, a completion of one stage of life and passage into another. It is not the time to look back upon mistakes and triumphs, but to accom- plish what we desire. Seek then, what lies ahead. - Vincent Drew After a stunning halftime show, kickline members: M.
