On October 6th, the journalism staff used their class period to look through old yearbooks. These yearbooks range in dates from 1915 all the way to present day.
Senior Jack Weidner said, “With this being my first year in journalism, it was a great way to learn about yearbooks and see how they have progressed throughout the years. It was also fun to be able to see pictures of our current teachers as high schoolers and other community members that I know.”
The old yearbooks are a great activity for first year journalism students to learn how the yearbook is supposed to look as a final product. However, looking through the old yearbooks is not only an activity enjoyed by first year journalism students, but it is also loved by returning journalism members too.
Second year journalism student and senior Raiden Colbert said, “Looking through the old yearbooks is definitely one of my favorite activities that we do. It is a close second to selling yearbook ads on the square.”
Inside of the yearbooks, you can also see how the times have changed. There are things inside of the yearbooks that would maybe not be acceptable to put in a yearbook now. It is a great way to see how we have progressed as a society and as a town.
Senior journalism staff member Trey Welter said, “It’s cool to see how much different high school is now compared to how it was in the olden days. Looking through the yearbooks you see many cultural changes, like changes in haircut styles, changes in the way people dress, and changes in the way high schoolers talk.”
