- This is not a real review. However, I do have an idea that may help the students from the Hickman and Ruskin to merge sucessfully. Why not rename Ruskin, the sports teams and change team mascot? This may help ease the rivalry between the two schools and help with the transition for former Hickman students going into "enemy" territory.
It may also help Ruskin students not feel as if they have been invaded. Everyone could start out at a "new" school. Just a thought...
