Class President gives thanks
My Fellow Playwickians,
It appears as though our time together
is drawing to an end. We had a good run
though didn’t we?
From the awkward, anxiety-ridden
times of Sophomore year, to the stressfilled days of being a Junior faced with
making those decisions about what to do
after high school, and now to the final few
days of being a laid back Senior.
It seems like only yesterday we walked
into the old building to find ourselves in
a strange and un-air-conditioned place.
But here we are at the end of the line in
a newer, wintry-like version of the old
building, and most importantly we can
say, we survived.
I’ll miss the sounds of Main Street
as I’m walking to class, and the taste of a
fresh batch of Beefy Cheesy Nachos, but
most of all, I am going to miss each and
everyone one of you, the people who made
coming to school everyday worthwhile.
I’d like to take this time to thank each
and every person in this building, be you
my best friend, a teacher who has yelled at
me to get to class, or a fellow student with
whom I have only shared a few words.
Thank you to my parents, my brother,
and my sister, for always being there
for me, no matter how hard things got.
Thank you to the staff, administration,
and teachers for all of your help in making
sure everyone discovers his or her full
potential, even when things got tough.
Thank you to my friends and peers,
who helped me stay sane throughout all
of the craziness going on. Thank you
all for making my three years here so
memorable. I couldn’t have asked for a
better term as president.
So in our last moments together, I
would like to say Farewell! May you have
good luck wherever your road may lead
and may you find happiness and success
in all your endeavors! Thank you once
again, for making these past three years
the very best they could be.
With Love,
Dylan Atkinson

Salutatorians reflect memorable times at Neshaminy
It’s finally here: the day we have
been preparing for over the past twelve
years. After countless hours of grueling
work, pouring our hearts into no-doubt
procrastinated essays, slaving over
obnoxiously mundane textbooks, filling
in tiny bubbles on standardized tests, and
learning to survive the social jungle that is
high school, we are at last ready to leave
the halls of Neshaminy and venture out
into the real world.
Though graduation may seem like
the bold line separating our lives as high
school students from our lives as adults,
it is really more of a subtle transition. We
will use all that we learned in school even
after we cross that line, and our future
experiences will be partially due to our
time at Neshaminy. All the pomp and
circumstance that accompany graduation
may distract us from these facts, but it
is inevitable that these two time periods
will share a significant relationship,
each affecting the other in unpredictable
ways.
Most importantly of all, live life to
the fullest. If you make everything you
do worthwhile, you will be successful and

things I’ll miss here, it is also a relief
to say that I am finally starting college,
opening up a new chapter in my life.
So, now that we’re done high school,
let’s have an amazing summer and off to
college we go!
To the underclassmen:
Even though it may seem like
graduation is ages away, time passes a
lot quicker than you would believe. So,
make the most out of your high school
years and remember to have fun
.
To those who wish to attend an Ivy League
university:
You need to be president of every club
possible, be in class office AND student
council, volunteer, play at least five
sports (and be captain for at least three),
get a perfect SAT score, play at least two
instruments, and have a job. Disclaimer:
There is still a chance that you will get
rejected even after accomplishing all of
these feats.

Honor Society President notes student transformations
“It was the best of times, it was the worst
of times…”
Of course, I’m referring to the three
years we spent together in high school,
getting through the ups and downs and
trying to have fun along the way.
In the beginning, the school seemed
enormous and confusing, but we all
survived together.
Our sophomore fears were demolished
along with the old building, and we grew
up in many ways, blossoming into the
mature seniors we are today.
After spending most of our lives
in school, it seems crazy to think that
graduation is really only a few days
away.
We began as students from four
different middle schools and evolved into
one senior class. As a group, we have all
been through a great deal together.
We were the last class of Neshaminy
to experience crowded A-Hall, the falling
ceiling tiles of G9A, and the rest of the
dilapidated old building.
We were there for the arrival of the
freshmen, eager to steer them towards
the third floor pool. We cherished Mr.
Richmond, our favorite substitute teacher,
and learned that the high school is actually
located in Neshaminy, Pa.
Despite the fact that most of us are
eager to move on to bigger and better
things, I advise you to never forget
what you learned here at Neshaminy.
Whether your primary focus was
achieving academic excellence, showing
off exquisite musical talent, demonstrating
keen athletic prowess, or simply having
fun, treasure the times that you have had
within these halls.
Cherish the memories of football
games, Gym Night, proms, beefy cheesy
nachos and senior pranks gone awry.
As you move on, keep in touch with
those who inspired you and impacted
your life in amazing ways.
Remember the family members who
supported you on your journey to success,
the faculty members who taught you much
more valuable lessons than what was in
the textbooks, and the dear friendships
that made your high school experience
worthwhile.

Student Council President reminisces
Fare Thee Well Ye Ole Neshaminy:
So much can happen after three years:
a newborn puppy can celebrate its 21st
birthday; a Twinkie can be seven years
away from turning into liquor; even a large
mass of potatoes can be grown in three
years. After three years at Neshaminy
High School – my second home away
from my third home’s cousin’s apartment
– I can finally say that I’m graduating and
moving on the next step in my life.
As I reminisce throughout my days
here, I can’t stop to think about everything
I’m leaving behind. Farewell to mystery
meat lunches and 10 cent ketchup packets.
So long to the unneeded flat screen TVs
in every room that have up to three
channels. I’m going to miss the windows
that are incapable of opening and the
rock gardens that have absolutely no use
whatsoever. Life will not be the same
without countless hall aids breathing
down my neck commanding me to get
to class when I’m just trying to get my
fanny pack out of my locker. I’m going
to miss little fights in the hallways that can
attract thousands of people to see what’s
happening. What I’m going to miss the
most about you, Neshaminy, is the infinite
amount of drama that pours through you.
I’ll miss it all.
There are a lot of things I have to
leave behind, Neshaminy, but you have
also given me various things that I will
take into the future. You have given me
the best friends anyone can ask for, who
are always there for me when I’m down
and who enjoy my slight randomness.
You have shown me the magical land
of Gym Night, a place where all dreams
come true…if you are on the blue team.
Through Gym Night, you helped me catch
the most amazing girl who roams around
Neshaminy: Miss Paige Dumke. You let
me teach everyone how to YES with my
main man Kiki, and you gave me a Junior
and Senior Prom that I will never forget.
Every senior says the same thing,
“I can’t wait to leave you, Neshaminy.
I can’t wait to leave you for someone
bigger and more expensive, like Temple
or Penn State. I can’t wait to leave you
for someone like your older brother,
Bucks County Community College.”
Well, I’m different. I’m going to miss
you, Neshaminy. You are more than just
paradise to me. You are my sensei who
trained me well for the future.

Trickel recalls fun times
Dear Seniors,
As I sit here and reflect on the past three years, I can’t help but be amazed at how
quickly it all went. There were so many wonderful moments that I was having trouble
deciding on what to talk about, so I just started from the beginning; orientation, first day,
sports, activities, band, musicals, Gym Night, Sophomore dance, Dorney Park, Junior
Class Trip, power outage,
Junior Prom, Dodge
b a l l , P o w d e r P u ff ,
Neshaminy Idol, Mr.
Redskin, Senior Prom
and finally graduation.
Thank you for allowing
me to be a small part of
all of these wonderful
memories. It has been a
privilege to serve as the

The Playwickian Managing Editors
Say Goodbye
Good luck:
Editor In Chief wishes
next year’s team well
Working as Editor In Chief this
year brought forth both challenges and
rewards that I had not initially anticipated.
When I became involved with the paper
sophomore year, working as a staff writer
and copy editor, I did not for see all of the
potential successes to be had, memories
to be made, and fun that was in store for
the following years.
The Playwickian has not only helped
me get my footing in the journalism
world—but has given me lasting friends
and memories.
I would like to thank Lera, our
Managing Editor, for making this year as
stress free as possible. Always organized,
attentive and helpful, you single-handedly
kept the paper on track and lent to its
success each month.
Your silliness lightened intense and
otherwise frustrating layouts; I have
always enjoyed our Frisbee masking
tape game. You’ve had my back have
supported me undeniably and it is now
while I reflect that I finally realize that I
should have listened to you when you told
me not to jump onto the rolling chair…
Basically, I’m just glad we met sophomore
year in journalism and have become so
good friends. I can’t imagine things
differently.
To Dan, thank you for always being
the problem solver of the newspaper team.
Frustrated with InDesign or Photoshop,
you would come over and with one
click make everything better, which is
interestingly enough how things seem to
work with us outside of the Playwickian
office: me flailing and freaking out and
you always there to simplify matters and
bring me down to reality. Newspaper has
undeniably brought us closer together and
I’m glad I was able to enjoy the experience
with you.
Thanks to Jocelyn for never making
me worry about the progress of her pages,
and to Mrs. Huber for getting us back on
track and supplying us with snacks.
To all of the other editors and writers
and contributors to the paper, thank you
for all your work. I’m proud of everyone
and it is clear that everyone’s skill have
continually improved over the course of
the year.
For the future managing team, make
sure you guys have fun. Too many times
Managing Editor offers
advice to future editors
High School, I don’t think I’ll ever
experience anything quite like it again.
The people, the experiences, and the
memories surely will never leave me. I
can’t imagine much of my senior class
knowing exactly who I am, seeing as I
hardly know who most of them are. But
I would like to say that even though I
Tori Hyndman (L), Dan Coleman (C), and Lera Salmon (R) worked
nonstop this year to create The Playwickian. They also are debatably, the three best
friends that anybody could have.

this year we got bogged down with
deadlines and stress and forgot how fun
and enjoyable layout can be. So don’t
forget it!
It’s been a great year—a quick
one—filled with laughs and jokes (usually
pointed at Amanda Panda) and I’m happy
to have been an integral part of it. Best of
luck to all of next year’s staff.

didn’t know everyone I can honestly say
I’ve enjoyed my time at Neshaminy with
them.
I would like to say a few words to
some people who truly impacted my
time here at Neshaminy. First, my best
friend and co-editor Tori; the Playwickian
brought us together and for that I couldn’t
be more thankful. Through every laugh,
tear, and deadline you have been there for
me. You have truly been a huge part of
my life and for that I am truly lucky and
grateful.
Second I would like to say thank you
to Dan. You are the most interesting, funny
and kind person I know (No matter what
Rita’s Water Ice has to say about it.) You
have been one of my best friends and I am
so happy I’ve been given the opportunity
to spend these last couple of years with
you.
Being a part of the newspaper and
been an awesome experience that I will
never forget. The hours spent in the office,
making jokes at other people’s expense,
laughing over the silly things the editors
say, and dedicating time to make the paper
the best it can be has really filled my year
with fond memories.
The Playwickian has been a large
part of my years at Neshaminy and I
hope to take all my knowledge of the art
of journalism and apply it to life outside
Neshaminy paradise. For the editors next
year, I have a bit of advice.
Josh, remember to always be kind to
everyone and treat the other editors with
the respect them deserve. Please don’t
forget to keep calm, even in the midst of
an approaching deadline stay on top of
things and don’t lose sight of your goal:
making an awesome paper (with little to
no spelling errors.)
Meaghan, don’t be afraid to speak up
and get people on track. Be sure to keep
everyone calm (mostly Josh) and make
the newspaper environment as friendly
as possible.
Jon, my favorite guy in the world, I
know you will keep Josh and all the other
editors in line and your status as ladies
man will only improve with age. I wish the
best of luck to the editors of next year and
I hope that you all learn from our mistakes
and strive to make the paper the best it can
be.

Three-hatted student recalls memorable high school times
High school is over. After three long
years—well kind of four—we can all
finally say that we are graduating. There
are plenty of things that I am not going to
miss, but there are also quite a few that I
will:
The Playwickian. What started off
as just an elective quickly consumed my
life, but I am definitely not complaining.
Through newspaper, I got to meet one of
my best friends, the girl I love, and tons
of other truly awesome people. Last
years seniors left big shoes to fill and we
definitely strove to match their talents.
The staff has really made all the hard
work and after school hours really worth
it. I am so glad I was able to be a part of
what has been clinically proven to be the
best student-run newspaper in the world.
My Classes. Now I do not want to
sound like a complete nerd, but I can
honestly say I have not hated a lot of my
classes, even a few of the teachers. What
transformed my classes from miserable
to actually enjoyable, was the people in
them. I was with just about the same
group of kids since tenth grade. They
helped motivate and push me to reach
the position I did. I owe them a lot of
thanks.
Class Office. I loved being the
Historian. It was a lot of work planning
the proms, trips and other events, but
completely worthwhile. The satisfaction
of seeing all of my efforts pay off,
culminating in activities I would like to
think the entire grade enjoyed.
My fellow officers, you guys are
amazing. I could not imagine what these
past three years would have been like if I
didn’t have the chance to start everyday
off with you all. So thank you, you really
made my time here great.
Senior Year. I had the most difficult
course load I have ever had this year
and yet it is still my favorite high school
year. Not to sound like a broken record,
but what really made it great, were my
friends.
Whether they had been my best
friends since kindergarten or soccer,
or people I met this year through gym,
environmental, or psych class, the
relationships I formed here are really
something special. The gang made all of
the late nights doing homework and hours
spent in the newspaper office not seem
so awful. I don’t think I would be in the
position I am in without all of you.
High school has been my life and I
don’t regret that. I wouldn’t change how I
spent my time here. Now I’m just looking
forward to next year, and hopefully
another four great years.
