The yearbooks are in. The yearbooks are in. The yearbooks are in!
by Frank Solle, Yearbook Advisor

After what can best be described as a long, detoured, and experimental journey of discovery, our project is complete. And it is outstanding.

Because I didn’t sign on to the project until nearly November, it seemed the staff and I only had a few meetings to discuss ideas and get to know one another before the holiday break. But we did make some huge decisions. The biggest and most important was to scrap the national yearbook company and go it alone. By doing this we set ourselves up against the steepest possible learning curve we could imagine. The students needed to learn how to work a new computer program in order to complete the layout process.

We learned. We kept at it, and the kids really responded. Their creativity took off, as the pages readily show. I am very proud of all the work everyone did to see this project to completion. Are there things we forgot? Yes, indeed. Are there advertisers we didn’t, for whatever reason, include? Unfortunately. Are there ways we can improve both our production and business management? Absolutely. Are we ready to face those challenges over the next year? Without a doubt.

For now, know that the kids worked very hard to produce this yearbook. If you have ordered one you can expect a call. If you would like to purchase one you can contact Emily at 448-3056 or look for us along the parade route on July 4. We hope to have a table set up for your convenience of purchase. Yearbooks are $15. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.
