CAS Journal Entry No.8: Yearbook Committee

Every year our school publishes a yearbook, a summary of everything that took place in school that year. From the student exchange programs to the class trips, every single activity gets a mention in some fashion or other in the yearbook. This is all well and good for the students, but for those of us who have to co-ordinate and organize such a massive undertaking, it’s truly a logistical nightmare. From heckling students to turn in their articles to planning and putting together the pages for the final edition, all the hours that went into this yearbook were truly worth it however.

From writing the editorial at the beginning of the yearbook to submitting a few creative writing pieces of my own, I tried to participate as much as possible in this yearbook process. It also helped me understand the responsibility involved in putting together a magazine of this scale and importance. This committee along with the planning for Spectra is what truly imbibed me with a sense of responsibility. I hope the end product is looked at as something our entire school can be proud of, and even though nothing is perfect, I think we did a fantastic job putting together the yearbook with all the challenges we faced.
