The only thing different is that the students are dressing up more.” “Personally I don’t see a big change.” said government teacher Leonard Davis. Students see a greater change because they don’t have the advantage or disadvantage of living through history so time moves slower and things change faster. -Sheri Stodghill Mexican dresses could be seen all over Skyline.
