That is Kevin Hibbard contemplating the 51 years of band heritage with minimum changes-same instrument designs, same instruments, similar music and identical uniforms.(note superimposed 1968 Band picture) When you've got a good thing, why change it?

A. f 1 e r changes among changes, we are more or less the same. Simon and Garfunkd To see the epitomy of the phrase “The more things change, the more they stay the same , you should experience N.H.S. in 1987-88. Teachers as well as students are humming the tunes of “You Keep Me Hanging On , Louie-Louie and Twist and Shout . Other songs such as La Bamba” by Los Lobos and People Are Strange now re-done by Echo and The Bunnymen are once again on the charts. It seems that the idea of a Rock 'n' Roll Heaven has been given up to the assurance of musical reincarnation. Also along this re-assembly line are the toys people have. Surfng and skateboarding are once again high priorities in many teenagers' minds. The only difference now is what determnes how good you are: how dangerous you can be without accually hurting yourself. Though these things cover a large majority of Northeastern High School, only one thing involves us all. The clothes you wear today may cover your outside but really reflea on what you are like on the inside. Well, folks, it looks as though a generation of new-wave hippies have come into the Mainstream of teenage social circles. Once again tie dies are in full bloom, Skirts and high topped sneakers are back up. Baggie shorts are a common sight, along with Soho shades and bows in girls’ hair. Hairstyles today not only include long, short, spiked and shaved styles, but often involve two or more of these together. In conclusion, all of this couldn’t be complete without a similar frame of mind. Teenagers today are not only concerned with the aftermath of Viet Nam, but with the present day threaghts of the Middle East. These events involve us all, as well as the future generations of northeastern students. We are fortunate to have comrades that feel the same as we do, and we hope that as we grow and our lifestyles change, our thoughts and memories will remain the same. 28 — The More Things Change The More They Stay The Same
