Ittltmi mas Ulak the ifference Have you ever talked to your parents about what they used to do when they were your age? Yes, they used to be teenagers! When they tell you their stories of sock hops, going out to eat pizza, their steadies and parking, you just laugh and think how weird it sounds. But, think about it. What do we do when we go out? We go to dances, binge on Ben and Jerry ' s, we commit ourselves to steady boyfriends and girlfriends, and, yes, admit it, we park. But what makes us different, or what makes us think we are unique, are the little things. At dances, we slow dance to groups like Led Zeppelin or Journey, instead of Pat Boone. We eat the same foods, just at more contemporary hangouts. We date the same guy or girl, but we call it going out instead of going steady. Face it, though, parking is parking. It ' s kind of like geome- try. The concepts just don ' t change from year to year. no matter how we dress, what we eat, or what music we listen to, SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE.

Quick! Take a look around. How close your eyes. What did you see? Not much, right? Mow open them. Is anything different? Mot likely. Except for the world ' s constant rotation, nothing has changed. We ' re in homeroom at 7:35 every morning and home by 2:15. For five days a week, 376 minutes a day, our routine is the same. Even if we ' re sick and miss a day, the process of making up missed work is always the same. It takes us two weeks just to make up for one lost day. Variety on the weekends? Who ' s kidding whom? Face it, Wilbraham and Hampden aren ' t exactly overflowing with things to do, and that fact will never change. However, 1989 was different. We faced life with an acting half-time principal and felt the loss of two Industrial Technology teachers. We also enjoyed six half days as our teachers worked to begin the pro- cess of accreditation. With a simple blink of an eye we notice change but no matter how many times we blink, somethings never change. - At Chrissy Froehlich ' s back to % school party this summer, Chris J Morissette looks on with enthusi- asm as Todd Dickinson plays a friendly game of nerf ping-pong against Jeff O ' Shaughnessy. As pretty as a picture. Estella % Kranenburg, an exchange student f from Holland, is posed for a por- trait being sketched by Kelly Thomas during their D-block art class.
