CREATING A YEAR OF MEMORIES WITH THE WASHINGTONVILLE HIGH SCHOOL YEARBOOK CLUB

By  MIMI BADU 

The Washingtonville High School Yearbook Club has been working extremely hard to create a yearbook that captures moments of its student body throughout the 2016-2017 school year.  With new advisors and a brand new staff, they are making sure they do not disappoint. They are aiming to provide Wizard Nation with an unforgettable book that not only focuses on seniors, but the underclassmen as well. 

The club is given six months to work together to create a book that represents the school in the best way possible. Meetings are scheduled to take place every Wednesday in computer lab 227 with Ms. Bac and Mrs. Schulze, the new advisors. In these weekly meetings, each staff member is assigned to either create layouts, take photographs, or write pieces for the yearbook that capture important stories so they are remembered forever. The council has also been working extremely hard by coming together in Ms. Bac’s room every time they have early release to make sure there are no flaws in the publication.

The Editor in Chief of the club, Nicole Quinones can’t wait for everyone to get their hands on the yearbook. “I’m looking forward to everyone seeing all the hard work we put into the book. The staff and I work so many hours to make it perfect. I want everyone to look back on this yearbook and remember all the memories that we’ve had.” Nicole joined the club because when she attends college she will be majoring in Communications. Joining yearbook has helped her in a professional way towards her goal as a journalist. 

As a member of the club, I couldn’t agree more with Nicole.  When people see the yearbook for the first time, they are going to say, “Wow!  I love this!”  The yearbook is not only important to me because I'm a part of creating it, but because it marks the end of the class of 2017’s senior year. These are the last memories being documented of our high school careers that we will reminisce about for years to come.  This is why all students capable of buying the yearbook should do so.  They can never relive the moments they have spent with their friends, teachers and classmates in the cafeteria, auditorium, classrooms, and stands. So, why not get a book that will hold those memories forever?

Yearbooks need to be purchased by May 6th.  To have your name engraved on your yearbook and to guarantee a copy, the club members and advisors suggest that students order it by mid-January at HJ Yearbook. If you want to remember your high school years, the best way to do it is by purchasing the 2016-2017 yearbook… you won’t regret it!
