GOODBYE CLASS OF 2014

Principal thanks graduates, congrats new Neshaminy alumni Dear Seniors in the NHS Class of 2014,

It gives me great pleasure to be one of the first to welcome you to the ever-growing family of Neshaminy Alumni. You are now among a group of people dating back many decades who can proudly state, “I am a Neshaminy Graduate.” Congratulations on your accomplishment as it marks the culmination of a 13-year pursuit. Take a short break, you have earned it; but not for too long. Though your graduation marks the end of your high school experience, it is just the beginning of a much longer journey; a much more important journey. Continue this journey; pursue your goals; pursue your dreams; pursue your passions; and along the way, use your talents to help make the world a better place for yourself and others. We need you. Your community needs you. Your nation needs you and our world needs you to make a difference, just as you have made a difference at NHS.

Class adviser gives farewell to senior class Dear Class of 2014,

You made it! The Class of 2014 is graduating from Neshaminy High School. It seems like just yesterday when you were nervous freshmen walking the halls in August 2010 for student orientation. I love still seeing so many of you wearing our first red Class of 2014 shirts I gave away those two mornings. This was my first time being a class advisor and you have spoiled me. I am going to advise the class of 2018, but the shoes they have to fill are enormous. In the past four years, we have been through a lot together. Three homecoming booths, a pink out, two dances, two proms, four Phillies games, a Sixers game, Camelbeach, Hersheypark, a Spirit of Philadelphia dinner cruise and our junior class trip. We asked you to get involved in activities and you did. Every event we have held has been a success because of you. Every student I ever said good night to leaving a dance, prom, or trip has always thanked me for planning and I respect each one of you for that. I have been lucky enough to see it happen right before my eyes, you have become young adults. As I look back on the past four years, I have many fond memories. A Phillies game in 2010 where 150 Freshman got over 42,000 fans to do the wave was by far my favorite. That moment inspired me to go above and beyond as your class advisor as you inspired strangers to have a great time. Always seeing the dance floor packed was also awesome. Whether it was Gym 3, Kings Caterers, the Merion, the Sheraton, or a dinner cruise dance floor, you were the best.

Remember when you first came to NHS? We asked you to be part of the solution; to help us build a better school inside our new facility. I am proud to say, “Mission Accomplished!” Over a four year period of time, each of you, individually and collectively, has helped redefine how NHS acts, how it thinks and what it values through your commitment and actions over the last several years. Look back on your experiences at Neshaminy: smile, reflect, laugh, cry, shake your head, be critical and celebrate. But also give thanks, as those experiences have helped shape you and prepare you for the challenges yet to come. These experiences will be a part of you forever. Thank you for helping us move NHS forward academically, socially and emotionally. Collectively, you the Class of 2014, through your day-to-day, hour-to-hour actions have left future classes with a positive foundation and climate. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed watching you enjoy your Senior Year. Again, congratulations and welcome to the club! Rob McGee, Ph.D. Principal

Presidents express their love for graduating class

Our trip to Virginia was one of the best class trips that I have ever done. I am sure those of you that went will never forget the fun we had at King’s Dominion, Busch Gardens, The Spirit of Norfolk and in Washington. That weekend has always been my favorite during the school year. May 10, 2014 brought us to the Senior Prom at the Sheraton City Center Hotel in Philadelphia. Over 700 students attended a memorable night. With that number came over 700 snuggies being handed out at the end of the night. The boys were sharply dressed in tuxedos and the girls in their gowns were beautiful. The theme, “Save the Last Dance” brought the evening to a close. At this very busy time I hope you all take a moment to reflect on your years here at Neshaminy High School. Whether you only did one of the above mentioned events or all of them, I am sure you have your own fond recollections of Neshaminy High School, Class of 2014.

Seniors, our time is almost up! These last four years have truly been so special with the family I’ve made here at Neshaminy. The next chapter is about to start so revel in the memories, make the most of the present, and take the future by the horns! I’ll leave you with one word: #surfboard. ;) To the seniors, I love you all and Class President, want to thank you all for making these Ton Do-Nguyen For all of you I wish you good health, happiness and great past four years the best years of my life. success in your future endeavors. Thank you for all of the I hope you guys will remember me like I memories that I will forever treasure! will remember you. To the underclassmen, enjoy your last few years here. Before Sincerely, you know it, it will be gone. With peace, Mr. Len Davis, Class Adviser 2014 love and happiness, your Student Council President, Jeremy Diamond.

On a personal note, I would like to thank the best class officers ever, Ton Do-Nguyen, President; Calli Vasilarikas, Vice-President; Shelby Lins, Secretary; Kylie Dumke, Treasurer; and Arielle Arleth, Historian. Without their dedication, hard work and perseverance the past four years would not have been so successful. To my four ladies and a gentleman, I’m going to miss you more than any students I have come in contact with over my nineteen years of teaching.

Farewell:

Copy Editor bids adieu to Neshaminy By Colleen Harley Copy Editor

That warm September morning in 2010 when I walked into the doors of Neshaminy High School, I knew that my life was going to change forever. As a naïve 15 year old, the thought of being in a school with people who could drive, work and had so much more knowledge than me, scared me straight to the bone. After the fact that my bus had never showed up that morning, getting lost trying to find all of my classes and getting placed in a seat next to a gorgeous Senior boy in French class, I was not ready for what high school was about to throw at me. Much to my surprise, high school was not like it was depicted in movies. I didn’t win homecoming queen, the captain of the football team never had a crush on me, people didn’t break out into song and dance on the cafeteria tables and not everyone had a “Super Sweet Sixteen” birthday. Although, looking back on the past four years of Neshaminy, I’ve come to realize how different everyone’s high school experiences are and how much you grow as a person throughout those four years. Fortunately, I was blessed with having an unforgettable experience throughout my career here. My own personal experiences are not near the same as my three best friends, but that’s the good part of it all. You may not go through the same experiences as your best friends, but the lessons they learn can be passed on to you and vice versa. In the end, all the things I’ve been through and things I had the pleasure of experiencing throughout my career here at Neshaminy, have attributed to lessons for the future and tools I’ll use for the rest of my life. To the underclassmen; if it’s one thing I can tell you, it’s appreciate every moment you have here at Neshaminy. Once you’re seated on the football field, in your red or blue cap and gown; once you walk across the stage to shake Dr.McGee’s hand and receive your diploma, it’s all over. You can’t get any of those moments that you may have taken for granted at the time, back. To my fellow classmates: Congratulations 2014, we did it!

Circulation editor mails out By Julianne Miller Circulation Editor

♥♥♥ Being put onto the Playwickian staff was by far one of the best accidents that could have happened to me. Because there was a mistake with my scheduling going into my junior year, I was put onto the staff and have since developed a love/hate relationship with the exhausting world of journalism. The opportunities presented to me, the friends I have made and the memories created in room G202, a place I have spent a good majority of my time these last two years, will be what I look back on and remember most about my time at Neshaminy. I will truly miss all of the editors that I have spent my final two high school years with and the times we have shared together. Mrs. Huber has been the crazy school-mom that has treated me like her own and was and always will be so much more to me than just a teacher. Teaching me life lessons, as well as helping me to become a better writer, she has taught me how to find the confidence in myself to succeed. Leaving this classroom will be bittersweet, but I am more than thankful for every day spent with the Playwickian newspaper staff. ♥♥♥

Senior captures last moment as editor By Corey LaQuay Photography Editor

By Emily Scott Business and Op-Ed Editor All I can really think to say is thank you; although those two words hardly do any of you justice. Being a part of this amazing publication has been the most memorable aspect of high school for me. I’ve learned more about myself and my abilities by working with a group of the most talented NHS students. Each one of you has something so unique about yourselves that truly makes the Playwickian family what it is. To my fellow senior editors—we actually graduated (hopefully). We spent plenty of time hiding from classes and coping with our severe cases of senioritis. I wouldn’t have wanted to share senior year with any other individuals. To my co-editor Jackson, thank you for being extremely talented and the more sane side of Op-Ed. I have learned how to accept and appreciate other opinions because of you. We’ve wrote some pretty killer editorials if I do say so myself. *cough cough* sweeping the Keystone Press Editorial awards… To Mrs. Huber, Tara, or school mom—I don’t think there is any way I could ever repay you for all that you have done for us this year. You have taught me more as an adviser than any other educator I have had in my life. You accept us, the weird, deadline-challenged journalists who reside in G202. I know there is some awful quote out there that is on the lines of “Those who can’t, teach.” Well, I think that is completely wrong and you debunk that yourself. You are an educator, adviser, mentor and someone I will look up to and only hope to be like in my life. The Playwickian has been my dysfunctional little family and G202 has been my home. It’s going to be devastating saying goodbye to all of this. You guys have definitely prepared me for the real world and I can’t wait to see where you guys go next. Thank you again, and continue being the best high school newspaper in the country.

Editor finds reality of high school By Shannon Byrne Special Features Editor High School. Four years. 1,460 days. 35,040 hours. All this time and effort for what? You guessed it, a piece of paper and a handshake. High school wasn’t my fairy tale. Short and simple. My first date was with a boy who spent the whole night flirting with my friend in front of her boyfriend and me, my first kiss was with a “pothead” that seemed to have conveniently lost my number after the fact, and I had one friend. One true friend who stuck with me through it all and showed me that being a freak is okay and who never let me feel alone in my sadness or happiness; who watched Disney movies with me and never cried during my favorite movies and claimed heartlessness, despite her unyielding kindness and care for those she loves. I went to a school with people who picked on me for being different despite the claims of tolerance, teachers who hated teaching, and made me feel small and stupid despite the assurances of the opposite, and administrators who restricted my right’s to stand up and call out the cruelty of the world. So no high school wasn’t my dream. However, there were people in this building who made getting through the day easier. Those diamonds in the rough that showed me that my faith in humanity could be restored. There was a guidance counselor who supported me and assured me I wasn’t dumb when I had to make a tough decision; a Physics teacher whose nerdy tendencies and bad jokes made me laugh when I felt like crying, and an English teacher whose quirky personality and undying faith taught me the value of speaking your mind, being yourself-- and using proper grammar. Now, I’m headed off to a school that values my individuality and intelligence in a way that makes me feel good about myself. Where the students are kind and accepting, the teachers eager to teach and help students become who they want to be, and staff that see your potential and reward you for going against the grain. I’m not trying to be negative, but I’m just telling it like it is. High school wasn’t a happy story, but it sure as heck is going to be a happy ending.

I honestly couldn’t have had a more memorable high school experience. Over the last four years, most of my time has been spent in the classroom anxiously awaiting the bell to ring, or counting down the days until summer. It’s amazing now to look back at all the times when I was so anxiously awaiting graduation and seeing how time has a way of sneaking up on you. The saying that “time flies when you’re having fun” hasn’t always had very much meaning to me during high school, but as a whole, high school really is over before you know it. There have been times during the past few years where I thought that I was prepared to graduate right then and there. (Or maybe I was just tired of doing homework) Looking back, however, I’m glad it took me four years to begin a new chapter in my life. The amazing teachers, supportive friends and family, and even those who wandered in and out of my life played a significant role in shaping the person I am today. I’m forever grateful for all of you. I especially want to thank my newspaper family for giving me a place to call home. All throughout high school, I’ve been searching for a purpose - searching for a place where I can feel comfortable just being myself and having fun, but also showcasing my abilities and working together as a team. This year has really taught me to stand up for what I believe in, which is something that I’ve always struggled with throughout my entire life. I’ve developed personal relationships with all of you that I couldn’t be more thankful for. The long hours spent in G202 slaving away at the newest issue of the Playwickian have prepared me for real-world situations and have also influenced my decision to major in Digital Media next fall. Newspaper has truly allowed me to define myself in a world where everyone is searching for a purpose. Mrs. Huber - you’re like a second mother to me. Regardless of some of your outlandish outbursts during layout week, you’ve pushed me to excel in everything that I do and to always do my best. Ever since freshman year, you’ve harnessed my talents and abilities and shown me that they can be used in amazing ways. I know we all drive you absolutely insane, but I’m proud to call you my adviser and even more proud to call myself a Playwickian alumni. I’ll always miss having my name on that masthead. Thank you so much for everything that you’ve done for us!

Editor opens up to her weird side By Shealyn Miles Special Features Editor

If from me, you are expecting a bunch of sappy goodbyes and reflections of my glorious days at NHS, then you will be thoroughly disappointed. Truth be told, high school was not a musical, like I had expected. The basketball captain did not serenade me over winter break. Students didn’t break out into a perfectly choreographed musical number when it was summer time. And no one ever bothered to scream “Yo, yo, yo, it’s lunch time!” in the cafeteria. Not once. For those of you who think you know me, you probably don’t. I have always been the kind of person to keep to myself. The people who really know me, however, know that I am the weirdest person on the planet. And I thought that it would be a shame if I left campus this year, without sharing my deepest, darkest secrets. Afterall, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHOM HAVE BEEN INFLICTED BY SENIORITIS, I AM THOUROUGHLY IMPRESSED THAT YOU HAVE READ THIS FAR, AND YOU’VE EARNED IT. So here they are. 1.) I have a cat named Mushie (MOO-SHE) and I talk to him in the patented “Mushie voice” 2.) I have a dog named Duke, but I call him Housh (Hawsh)—we never knew why. 3.) I put rubber chickens on my Christmas tree—long story. 4.) I quote Forrest Gump with my dad on the daily. 5.) I had a blanky up until middle school. (I may or may not still have one. I’ll let you decide.) 6.) When I was little, and imagined something very intently, I would unknowingly wave my fingers in front of my face, as if creating something in the air. – stange, I know. 7.) I write with my right hand, but still manage to get lefty lead marks all over the side of it. 8.) Mulan is my hero. 9.) I have witnessed the beautiful masterpiece that is Walt Disney’s “Captain EO” starring Michael Jackson. – look it up. 10.) My family is the most important thing in the world to me. Well, there you have it. I guess all that’s left to say is, “There’s a great big beautiful tomorrow, shining at the end of every day… and tomorrow is just a dream away.” – Disney’s Carousel of Progress. See ya!

Congratulations to the amazing Senior Editors of the Playwickian, and best of luck in all future endeavors!

Senior Edition

The Class of 2014 is preparing to say goodbye to their high school years. A few seniors took a moment to reflect on the times they have had over the past four years and to discuss what they are looking forward to in the near future.

Greatest memory of high school?

“Gym Night 2014 was unforgettable.” Jess Vadaketh, Ursinus College

“Being on the stage crew for ‘Phantom of the Opera.’” James Roden, BCCC

Do you have any advice for underclassmen?

What are you looking forward to in college?

“I’m excited to meet new people.” Ellie Bley, Philadelphia University

“Furthering my education in my field of study. #WeAre” Bailey Jones, Penn State Main

N A I K C I W K Y C A A L B P H S A L F

“Be bold and do crazy things.” Dan Martin, University of Pittsburgh

“Don’t think that you’re too cool.” Sarah Grudza, University of Pittsburgh

1995 to 1996 was a period with lots of change. From grunge music soaring the top hits to flannels and denim jackets, the Playwickian has changed immensely. Here are some of the big “Playwickia” headlines from the year the Class of 2014 was born.

Teacher Farewells

Mary Roderick - Math teacher

How has your experience as a teacher contributed to your overall learning experience in life? Grow as a person? My teaching experience at Neshaminy High gave me the opportunity to interact with a diverse group of students. I became a more effective teacher from those experiences. What made you choose the teaching profession? My grandmother, mother and aunt were all dedicated teachers. I never thought about any other career options. What is your best memory at NHS? My selection by the Class of 2013 yearbook staff as the most inspirational female teacher What are your future plans after your departure from the high school? I plan on staying very busy in retirement. I will be babysitting my grandchildren in New York and visiting relatives and high school friends in Smithfield, Virginia. My husband and I will be traveling as well. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Rocky road. would you give up your phone, internet and TV (and all other forms of technology) for a month for a million dollars? Totally! Give me twenty or thirty good books to read and I could be happy without all of the technical devices. Closing statement: My advice to the Class of 2014 and those who follow: Work hard, but laugh a lot in life! I like the phrase, “ It’s amazing how lucky you can be when you work hard.” Best Wishes to all of you!

Laura Bearss - Math teacher What made you choose the teaching profession? I am the third generation of mathematics teachers in my family. it always seemed like a natural thing to do. What are your future plans after your departure from the high school? Spending more time with my family. what will you miss the most about Neshaminy? The students, my colleagues and MY SUBJECT. What is your favorite ice cream flavor? Mint chocolate chip. Would you rather be fluent in all languages or master of ever musical instrument? Both are forms of communication. Music soothes the soul and languages allow conversation. Both would be ideaL. Would you give up your phone, internet and TV (and all other forms of technology) for a month for a million dollars? No, because the phone is important for emergencies.

Dennis Cox Science and I.e.p. teacher

W h at m a d e y o u choose the teaching profession? I made the decision to return to school when I was 30 years old to get my degree and have and will always state that it was the best decision of my life. I had always wanted to teach and coach from

early on but life sidetracked me for a few years. What are your future plans after your departure from the high school? They are not yet set but will include traveling. What will you miss the most about Neshaminy? I will miss my students and players the most because the students here at Neshaminy are truly wonderful. I have coached baseball at Neshaminy for over 25 years. Would you rather be fluent in all languages or master of ever musical instrument? Why? I do not care to be fluent in languages, hence the term “foreign”, nor do I possess any musical talent but I do appreciate many varieties of music. Closing statement: I would like to thank the entire staff here at Neshaminy for the wonderful years we have shared and to strive to make the future in this district something we can all hold our head up and feel proud of a continued tradition.
