Yearbook Picture Day In High School

I conducted an interview with a friend of mine to help my journalism class to create ideas for this year yearbook. My interviewee name is Xitlalic Salazar. She is a 10th grader at MAST @ Homestead. The interview took place in the school cafeteria on August 28, 2015. I mainly focus on asking her questions about how the yearbook should look inside and outside and the price of it.

There’s a tradition at Ragsdale High School called “Senior Skip Day.” That is a day in May

In a recent survey done by the National institute on Media and the Family, fifth graders, ten year old boys and girls told researchers they were dissatisfied with their own bodies after watching a music video by Britney Spears or a clip from the TV show “Friends.”(4) If this isn’t shocking enough, the research group reported that at the age of thirteen, fifty-three percent of American girls are “unhappy with their bodies.” This grows to seventy-eight percent by the time the girls reach seventeen. Also, eating disorders are beginning to start at an alarming young age. Statistics show that girls are developing eating disorders at the age of six.(1) Young girls that are exposed to appearance focused television programs, and magazine shows feel that they need to look like the models that they see. Most of these girls are not even have fully developed bodies yet and are already trying to perfect themselves. One girl had even shared how one of her best friends discovered that her fifth grade cousin was bulimic. Girls at that age should not even be concerned with their bodies yet and eating disorders being developed is a harsh wake up call as to how young girls everywhere are being effected by the media each and everyday.

This letter is written to administration of John Polanyi Collegiate Institute, Mr. Felahat, Mr. Khan and Ms. Chang. Due to creating JPCI’s 2016 yearbook, a group picture of students is needed. By looking into weather forecast and considering school events’ dates, best date for taking this picture is chosen to be on March 28th, 2016, during second period. Year book team sincerely requests JPCI’s administration, in order to have further arrangements for this event.

Yearbook has become a huge chunk of my time every single day at school. I attend yearbook meetings and camps, create all types of lists and spreadsheets, organize and assign everything to staff members, but every single task is worth it. Thanks to all of my hard work and dedication, I climbed my way up from staffer to the most successful job of chief editor. I was able to gain outstanding people and communication skills along with writing skills. I have watched myself grow from a ball of anxiety and nerves to a confident and determined chief editor. Unlike everyday classes, yearbook has helped me to successfully learn about different people and life skills that I will be able to utilize in anything I am a part of whether it's college, a career, or even daily conversations. Anytime I am able to complete a task by a deadline or talk to a complete stranger, my heart will be content knowing that I am able to have success in so many different ways thanks to my unforgettable yearbook

Creating a yearbook has a lot more to it than one may expect. At first, I thought it’d consist of taking lots of photos, using a creative mind, and good writing skills. I wanted to contribute by doing all of these things and using the best of my ability as well. I looked forward to taking plenty of clear photos, writing good captions and making clever headlines since I’m good with words and I wanted to go out and be more social.

Over the years, there has been a multiple of themes and variations of graphic elements in the past St. Edmund Campion yearbooks. However, by underlining all the differences, there are common issues within the yearbooks reviewed. Through analyzing each yearbook, I discovered similar issues shown such as; an unnecessary overload of words, white spaces and not well-taken photographs.

Being a woman of twenty, I know how much this can affect young girls. Body image influences are everywhere, social media, television, magazine and unfortunately for us, the current presidential election. Kim, Kim and Moon describe body image as “a plastic, constantly changing concept, continually modified by bodily growth, trauma, or decline, and significantly influenced by the ever-changing interaction with the social environment” (Kim, Kim, Moon 2011). This is an extremely true statement for young girls in today’s society. With the shows on television today and social media such as Instagram and Facebook, everyone is forced to be at their peak physical fitness and look their best all the time. The only way someone can achieve a realistic body image is when their self perceived body weight is the same as their current body weight. An unrealistic body image is the result of their self perceived body weight being different than their current weight (Kim, Kim, Moon 2011). What some people fail to realize is how deeply body image can affect a persons emotional being. Having an unrealistic body image can cause people to contract eating disorders, emotional issues, anxiety, low self esteem and finally, depression (Kim, Kim, Moon 2011). These feelings can cause suicidal thoughts and behaviors especially in young adults. Multiple studies have presented evidence that adolescents who commit suicide are more likely to have different body attitudes than those who do not, though it is not always the case(Kim, Kim, Moon

However, just one accomplishment like that is simply not enough for the American population. Some students try too hard, by participating in school events and making good grades, just to get the attention they do not deserve. So, the people have spoken, and in several school systems across the United States, everyone obtains equal representation in the yearbook. If one person is mentioned five times, every student is mentioned five times. Of course, this rules out any racial, gender or sexuality bias caused by the creators of the yearbook, but that is not the important part of this tremendous change. The importance of equal representation is to get the students who truly deserve fame, those of who could not care less of school and their low standard morals, their rightful place in the yearbook. Their participation in the school, which could be considered null, is the most inspirational and moving part of the school systems, and represents each system with

Did you know that according to “lifetouch.ca” over 52% of schools across Canada have a yearbook? Vincent Massey is apart of the 48% of schools that don’t get to look back on the memories and friendships that have happened throughout the years. In this paper I will argue that yearbooks are a great fundraiser, provides memories and gives a real-life lesson in journalism to the students on the yearbook committee.

With the city of Claremont growing, there was a need to educate the youth that inhabited the newly developed city. In 1890 Sycamore was the first school to open its doors, though at the time it was referred to as Claremont Grammar School (Wright 90). The next school to open in Claremont would be Claremont High School, officially opening in 1911 in a student body of around 120 people. Its first publication of the school Yearbook, El Espirirtu (then called “Annual”) would be in 1912, sparking a near one hundred year tradition of recording history. With weak bindings, black and white pages and only about 40 pages worth of content, the first yearbooks were dismal at best. A look inside of the early books would reveal a lot about how Claremont operated and why it was like it

This writer returned to the KUSD high school yearbook class later in the semester. This observer arrived before the start of the class period to discuss where the class was at in terms of completing the yearbook and meeting their deadlines. The cooperating teacher sighed and explained, “December is when this class needs to kick it into high gear. As soon as the holidays are over, all of our deadlines crawl out of the woodwork.” The bell rang, and less than ten students trickled into the classroom from lunch, and the teacher immediately started delegating tasks and alerting students of what needed to be accomplished during the class that day. Most of the students headed to their computers and began working on their assigned pages; some students left the classroom to take pictures, or to get quotes. A student approached the teacher about a college admissions essay that they had sent her for review and she assisted the student in editing it. This took ten minutes, and once completed she said, “Alright, can I get back to working on the yearbook now?” The teacher then began to walk around the classroom to check the children’s pages and correct any errors that were immediately present. She reminded certain students to check their grades, and then said to the class at large, “Don’t bitch at me if you get an F, because you need to get your ads turned in!” Some students laughed, but others looked unsettled. A student complained about another student’s work and the teacher agreed. A student said that she was going to fake a quote for a caption and the teachers
