Yearbook A -Z - Clayton School District
confusing mix of journalism, photography, technology, design, printing, marketing and Jostens lingo. Well, don’t worry. You’ll quickly discover it’s much easier to make a yearbook when you speak yearbook. Here’s your reference guide to yearbooks from A to Z. ACADEMICS SECTION: A section of the yearbook covering in and out of school learning activities. To increase reader interest, emphasize student-focused feature stories and avoid academic department wrap-ups. ADMINISTRATORS: Student leaders should ask the principal and vice principal(s) to visit the staff in the yearbook room on a regular basis. The yearbook is a student publication, so it makes sense for the editors to serve as public relations tour guides for administrators. ADVERTISING SECTION: A section of the yearbook, often placed in the back, that displays advertisements. The types and sizes of advertisements sold are generally dictated by economic need, community traditions and school policy. Business ads, club/team ads and recognition ads are the types of ads sold by yearbook staffs. Ask your Jostens representative about the Jostens Ad Service program. 70 ADVISER: Although no two yearbook advisers handle the job in the exact same way, the adviser’s job is that of a teacher, leader, manager and coach. Effective advisers teach the staff the skills necessary to publish the yearbook and then empower the students to produce as much of the publication as possible. The spelling of the word “adviser” often confuses yearbook staffs. Although most dictionaries call for the word to be spelled “advisor,” for journalistic publications, the Associated Press Stylebook stipulates the word be spelled “adviser.” ADVISER & STAFF: A magazine devoted to producing and marketing yearbooks. Jostens is pleased to provide this magazine to every high school yearbook staff in the country twice a year as part of its commitment to education. Carson Burks “I think it’s fun to be able to go to clubs every Friday. It gives kids a chance to get more involved in the school.” Caitlin Cordani dec 23- jan 12 Partners If the Lord delights in a man’s way, He makes his steps firm; though he stumbles he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. Psalm 37: 23-24 les bon chefs With drink and food in hand, Christie Clemens walks past the crepe making station during a French Club meeting Jan 11. Clasping his hands, William Charmical waits on his crepe. With the help of Madame Sarah Shelton, Christina Nelson sets up a crepe maker. “We really wanted to show everyone a little piece of France and crepes are a really quick, easy way to do that!” Christie said. “I’ve always had an interest in French language and culture. After taking French for four years, I absolutely love the language. I’d love to help others learn French one day,” William said. “I didn’t want to join any other clubs. I love French,” Blake Hesson said. in Dance “I attended the Partner’s Club dance last year and had a blast with all the kids. I saw how special it was. Everyone smiling made me want to help out more in the club. I wanted to do all I could to put those smiles on those faces again. Dance practices are a lot of fun. During practices we go over all the basic dances. There’s a lot of energy and everyone starts to get excited for the dance.” Matt Cypher (Photo by M. Blanton) Matt Cypher (Photos by M.

In this half-hour, students participated in a variety of clubs, attended SCA-sponsored fundraising events during D rotations, or simply caught up on their school work in their homerooms. “Activity period gives you opportunities to join clubs that look good on your college applications, as well as get you active,” Phillip Sherrod said.

Sprawled across the gym floor, Cade Kiely, Colin Leslie and Joseph Lafonte work on a poster promoting the school’s winter sports teams. “In Spirit Club, we help a lot of people and charities. It’s a really good feeling when we achieve a goal that we made for a charity,” Sierra said. “I joined Spirit Club because I wanted to share my ideas with other members and make posters for whatever event was going on,” Joseph said. (Photos by M. Swartz) enjoy playing chess. I thought it would be fun,” Robert Fox said. “I joined French Club because I have a passionate love of French and wanted to be more involved in the French culture and language,” Blake Hesson said. Although students benefited from activity period, some called for improvements. “My least favorite part about activity period is how short it is. I can usually still catch up on homework or talk with some friends.” David Anderson said. “I typically spend my activity periods doing chemistry or math homework or attending French Club or Battle of the Books. I think college assistance for upperclassmen and more D periods should be made available to students as well,” Eunice Nyamuhindu said. We are so proud of you and we can’t wait to see the amazing things you are going to accomplish. Congratulations, Sweet Girl! You’ve conquered the first of many summits in your life – go get ‘em, darling!

FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE SOPHOMORE THE MOMENT THAT sticks in my mind is when I cracked my head open on the hurdles. We were running, and I tripped over the hurdle. The hurdle hit me in the back of the head. I got thirteen staples. I was in seventh grade then. —A moment that captures me... Probably when I started playing softball when I was eleven. I got hit in the mouth with a ball at my first game. I didn’t know where the ball was, so I l ooked up, and it hit me in the mouth and cut my lip open. I was a little scared to play softball again, but I got put back in five minutes later. —That moment made me feel good about myself, like I can do it. Since then I feel like I am able to do more things now than I did before. I get self confidence from playing. I thought I wouldn't be able to play, but then I realized that I’m actually pretty good. GRADUATING EIGHTH grade sticks in my mind because it’s like the start of high school and high school kind of turns where you go. I like it: it’s a lot bigger and harder than junior high but it’s good. It was cool to reconnect with people that are now sophomores, and then I know people that are now older and meeting new kids in classes. —I did a lot of community service over the summer at the start, and I vol unteered at shelters for people and stuff. It was, like, really nice to understand how grateful we are to have what we have. I helped out at a soup kitchen and the Unity Shoppe. I just went by myself. I met people there and even already knew some people there. —Maybe when you’re upset about something or not happy with the results think about how grateful you are to have the opportunities you have. Don’t be greedy. I WILL NEVER FORGET my first piano recital that I played in. I was six. I still play the piano now, and I do still like it. I don’t remember the piece I played, only that I was very nervous. But after every competition or recital, the nervousness goes down, and the first of anything marks the beginning of the rest of the journey. These first moments really move my life in a different direction. —My first day of school really captures me as a person because that day really shows my personality, with people, with schoolwork, with how I react to certain situations. I think I was crying for my mom on that day. Socially, it’d be a lot different if I was home-schooled; I would have a lot of different social situations, and I would be a lot more shy than I already am. —School is very important; it is something that defines and separates us from other human beings. It’s really a blessing. I enjoy the friends and the education, and I really get to explore different fields and define who I am. I get to discover that math is my favorite subject because I like the straightforward answers and logic. I WOULD HAVE TO SAY going to basketball tournaments as a kid really sticks in my mind. There were always a bunch of kids, so it was really fun to run around. The people I was with— they were amazing. —I think the memory of when I was playing basketball when I was in third grade really defines who I am. I was playing with my sister and it was two baskets to win, one to tie. And the coach was looking at me like “Jocelin, you can make this,” and I thought “yes, i can,” because I was really bad at shooting. But then I won the game for all of us. It was just one of the best moments of my life. —It made me want to be better and play harder so that when the next situation came up, I wouldn’t ever have to be like that. I wouldn’t have to try extra hard to beat the team. It inspired me to play ba sketball even more. It’s my life now. BRITTANY BOYTIS OUT OF OUR SCHOOL’S 2207 STUDENTS [560 freshmen, 561 sophomores, 529 juniors, and 557 seniors], 2 from each grade were randomly selected–by closing our eyes and throwing a bouncy ball at a list of Cornerstone class portraits. BYLINE: A credit line at the beginning or end of copy giving the name of the writer. B&W PHOTO: In YearTech, a photo block must be tagged as B&W Photo if the image is to print in black and white in the yearbook. FRESHMAN JUNIOR THOMAS SHARKEY I HAD MONONUCLEOSIS. With mono, it was a struggle; it was a huge battle that I’ll never forget. It stuck in my head because I lost pretty much everything. I practically died, no one knew where I was, and I had 5 months worth of make-up work to do. And there were emotional stresses with that too, being away from people for so long. I was a wreck. —On a less depressing side, those moments running 400s with the track team during freshman year really define me. We had this one day where a group of us was assigned to run twelve 400s, a run which is just a pain in the ass. It’s a sprint but it’s the longest sprint, so it’s really hard. Our coach didn’t think we actually did twelve—so we had to do another one. But the whole thing made me realize I was willing to push myself even more, and somehow, I was happy t o do it. Even though it was so terrible I wanted to throw up, I was willing to do it. —It made me want to strive for that level of push and effort and made me want to feel that good about myself again, where I could struggle through something and come out laughing in the end, so happy that I had done it. TRAVIS CRAVEN NATHAN TSAI CAPTURING WHO WE ARE JUNIOR SENIOR I WILL NEVER FORGET this one time when I was going with my uncle to get the mail. I was really excited about it. I started skipping and we had these stairs right in front of our house and so I slipped and I got this huge gash on my eyebrow. I find it funny that when people look at my eyebrow and see that it has a scar in it, they think that it’s disorderly, and they always want to fix it. —And a moment th at defines me? Well, there was this one time I was at my cousin’s 5th birthday party and his cousin was being really rude to everyone at the party. The whole time my mom was like, “be on your best behavior,” but this kid was being really rude to my cousin, so I couldn’t take it anymore. I went up to him and I was like, “what’s your problem?” I did something I’m not ashamed of, and he stopped. I felt real ly proud of that. I think it made me more confident because I started to think that I had a voice. —I tend not to stay silent about most things, and I stand up for what I believe in. If I feel even slightly challenged, I will make sure that I am the dominant one. If I see someone being bullied, I will do something about it. NOT TOO LONG AGO, my ankle had been hurting. My parents had raised me to believe that you don’t complain, so I never said anything. And one day we were doing suicides at soccer practice, and I could feel it pull but I thought nothing of it. I ended up on crutches for a week because I went to the doctor and he said it was a sprain. My club team was going into state, so I just sucked it up and played on it for six months. It turned out that I had an avulsion fracture, so the inside ligament of my ankle got really stretched out and it pulled the bottom of the bone and broke it. —A moment that captures me? I really like to be outgoing and crazy, so one time I decided I had never been pier jumping, so I got my friends to take me out to Goleta Pier. It was twelve o’clock at night, and I had to swim all the w ay back to shore. But it was one of the best things ever. I love doing crazy stuff and it was such an adrenaline rush. Since then, I love to go pier jumping, no matter what time of year. —When I was younger, I was actually kind of shy. But throughout high school I’ve gotten really outgoing, and I don’t care what other people think. I think that’s captured who I’ve grown into because I’m comfortable being me and I love doing fun stuff. LAILA HALIMI MACKENZIE RIOS SENIOR THOMAS CHILDERS IN KINDERGARTEN I WAS running around the playground and there was a mulberry tree and I was running around and it caught my ear. I had to go to the emergency room. I will always remember running towards the tree, and blacking out, and waking up at the emergency room with four doctors around me. I was six, so it wasn’t very nice. I was pretty scared. I was just kind of uncertain about what was going to ha ppen. I was young so I didn’t know that the doctors were there to help me. —The first time I went snowboarding really captures me as a person; it was the best experience of my life. That’s what really started snowboarding for me. I have been snowboarding for six and a half years and I think the first time I went to Mammoth Mountain was probably one of the best experiences of my life. The main thing that I remember is that there was nobody there at all, so the park was empty and I could do whatever I wanted to do. I go snowboarding a lot, any chance I get. I’m actually sponsored by three different companies. —I think the first time I went snowboarding, I finally found something I could be okay at, and then I started pursuing it and I got better and better and better, and now I’m pretty good.

CAPTIONS: Copy that answers reader questions about the people, the action and/or the reaction in the photograph. Effective captions answer the five W’s and H: who, what, when, where, why and how. Captions might also include additional information and insights relating to the photo as well as quotes. COLLAGE: A special technique in which a photo illustration is created by using parts of several different photos. Software, like Photoshop, gives a collage a more refined look. Collages are most appropriately used for recognition ads. COLUMNS: Vertical guides for placing content elements. Wider column formats include six, eight and 10 columns on a spread; however, as many as 26 columns might fit across the spread. Narrow columns are also known as grids. COPY: Words written in a variety of formats to tell a story or describe an event. Also called a story or article. COPYRIGHT: Exclusive rights for the creator or owner of original literary, artistic or photographic material to make, distribute and control copies of that work for a specified number of years, as guaranteed by law. The use of copyrighted material without first obtaining permission from the copyright holder is copyright infringement. COVER: The first thing a reader sees when receiving a yearbook, so it should make a positive first impression. Verbally, the theme is often introduced on the cover, either directly or subtly. Visually, shapes, graphics, art or even photography might be introduced on the cover and carried inside the book. While some staffs desire a cover exclusive to their school, others prefer to select a Jostens Studio cover. CREATIVE RESOURCES: Designers are often available at workshops and take a staff’s idea and develop it into a cover sketch. Production of final cover art is also available. If you are interested in using these services, contact your Jostens representative. CROPPING: Editing a photo to eliminate distracting or unwanted portions of content. Easily accomplished in Photoshop. DEADLINES: The dates that completed yearbook pages are due at the Jostens plant. Meeting all deadlines is essential to keep the delivery of the yearbook on schedule. DELIVERY: There are two basic yearbook delivery options. Delivery is often dictated by school tradition. Spring Delivery allows for distribution at the end of the school year, but requires a shorter production time for the staff to submit pages. Summer/Fall Delivery provides a longer production cycle allowing the staff to include year-end coverage, but requires distribution in the late summer or fall. DESCENDER: The portion of a lowercase letter that falls below the x-height. A wide range of cover-production techniques are available including: Cover lithography Metalay/Metaline Lamination Embossing Quarterbinding Padding Foil stamping Silk-screening Tip-on Graining Overtone rub Precision cut design covers BooK COVERS BOOK: This visual guide to covers showcases the Jostens cover lineup along with detailed information for staffs designing custom covers including cover-production techniques. Available in the Jostens Yearbook Kit. DIGITAL CLASSROOM: Within Yearbook Avenue, the digital classroom houses videos, worksheets, handouts and activities for use in a yearbook class. DIGITAL IMAGES: The majority of staffs are shooting images digitally or scanning traditional prints for digital submission. Picture Placer, a YearTech toolbar button, makes it easy to place digital images. Staffs using YearTech Online can upload their digital images to their Image Library through Yearbook Avenue. DISTRIBUTION EVENT: A special activity for distributing and signing yearbooks. At many schools, a distribution party is a fundraiser with a $1 to $5 admission charge. COVERAGE REPORT: Both YearTech Online and YearTech feature Coverage Report tools that track who is featured in the book and how many times, making it easier to meet the goal of featuring every student at least three times. Those using YearTech and YearTech Online can access the Coverage Report under the Create menu. Great for ReplayIt.com ties also. DIVISION PAGES: Indicate new sections and provide continuity throughout the yearbook; a key area for developing the theme and relating it to the yearbook’s sections. Pre-designed division pages, some designed to complement Jostens covers, are available and previewed in the Art Book. For electronic placement on YearTech pages, Jostens division pages are included on the DVD with the YearTech materials in the Jostens Yearbook Kit. YearTech Online users will find division pages in the Image tab in Page Designer. Yearbook A-Z COLOPHON: A reader service that lists the staff, acknowledgements, printing specifications, awards and press association memberships. 3 Yearbook Tab Title A-Z p! FONT: A complete set of characters (letters, numbers and symbols) that share a common weight, width and style. Each font has a unique name such as Helvetica or Times. Jostens provides more than 200 fonts for use in the book. The YearTech font card or the YTO font card previews all fonts available. DUOTONE: A photographic effect that reproduces a photo in black and white and one additional spot color for a special graphic impact. GATHER TO SUBMIT: A YearTech function that is built into the Prepare for Submission button. If the spread is ready to send to Jostens, run Gather to Submit. This process will find links and save pages and links to the Submit Folder inside the proper deadline folder. The process will not complete until all the links can be located. For detailed information, consult the Quick Start card with the YearTech materials in the Jostens Yearbook Kit. 4 EDITOR: A student leader in charge of the entire yearbook or a portion of the book. EDITORIALIZING: To be avoided in journalistic yearbooks, this happens when the opinion of the reporter/writer is included in a story. The reporter/writer should remain objective. Opinion is a major component of journalistic writing, but should reflect the viewpoints of those involved or familiar with the topic. In journalistic writing, direct quotes with attribution are used for reporting opinions. e th get pepped for l iva rn ca er int w ENDSHEETS: The heavy paper between the cover and the first and last pages that is used to hold the signatures onto the cover. Endsheets may be designed by the staff and often complement the cover. Studio endsheets are also available and previewed in the Covers Book. EYELINE: Used to unify a spread, an eyeline is created when elements are aligned so the one-pica spacing extends across the spread, above or below the center mark, to give movement to the reader’s eye. The eyeline might be broken by a design element, such as a dominant photo. EXTENDED EDITION: Extended Edition supplement is an easy, diem and hassle-free way to provide the complete story affordable e p r a C to your students with expanded spring coverage for events including prom, spring sports and graduation. Jostens even makes its distribution hassle-free if you choose to have us ship the Extended Edition directly home to students.

Reality While high school is a place where many kids move on from childhood dreams, there are those who work towards their old fantasies, making them come true. “After seeing the movie ‘The Little Mermaid,’ my five year old self came to the conclusion that if I stayed in water long enough, I would get a mermaid tail. Let’s just say trips to the pool lasted longer than my mom wanted them to.” Audria Woodall Most Common Aspirations “I wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid. I thought it would be amazing to be a part of mankind’s greatest accomplishment, to be the first man on Mars. Then NASA’s budget got cut from their $12 million spending by the government when the government spends more than that a day in order to save money. The budget cut doesn’t give NASA the capability to launch big space ships into space so becoming an astronaut is not possible. I’m thinking about going into engineering, maybe develop weapons for the military instead.” The possiblities for a child’s dream are endless.These dreams can range anywhere from fantastical to mundane. Kids wish to explore the Wild West and deep sea caves; they want a castle in the clouds and a trip to the stars. Though the imagination of a child is certainly infinite, most gravitate towards the same visions of their future. Among those most beloved dreams stands the classics such as president, athlete, veterinarian, princess, and so on. However, the most frequently wished-for dreams are: “I’ve always been interested in robots. As a kid, I had the great idea to make a robot priest that we could keep in the closet and bring out every Sunday. This way we could go to church in our pajamas. Five year old me thought it was a great idea, but for some reason it never caught on.” Aaron Waclawczyk Connor McCanless “I wanted to be Superman when I was a kid, but without the kyrptonite weakness and the tights. He has many more superpowers than any other super hero. He can beat Batman easily and is more awesome. Also, Batman hits girls... like Catwoman.“ Anne Nguyen “I wanted to be a ballerina as a kid because they’re all so pretty and graceful. I used to watch Barbie’s The Nutcracker and dance around my house. I was even a ballerina twice in a row for Halloween when I was little.” Kristin Contreras “I wanted to be a Powerpuff girl when I was little, preferably Bubbles or Blossom, because I want to save the world and be made of sugar and spice and everything nice.” Harley Andrade 26 the Innovators While most children tend to gravitate towards similar dreams, some kids step to the beat of their own drum. These three students wanted to be something else entirely, something outside the norm. Whether inspired by television or completely original, it’s without a doubt that these dreams stray away from the pack. spread created by Amanda Oakley and Clella Evans chronology Graphic Enhancements: Dragon, Round Rock High School, Round Rock, TX COLOR Run Prepare for Submission for Color ID information.

Frequently enhanced with typographic and graphic techniques, a headline often includes a primary and secondary headline. • A primary headline is larger and grabs the reader visually and verbally. • A secondary headline is subordinate in size and provides specifics. YEARS OF EXAMS 1858 BY CARISSE SAMUEL Photographs by CARISSE SAMUEL It’s every student’s favorite week of the year–exam week. Yay. It’s a week full of cramming early semester knowledge, all-nighters and the jitters. The first public examinations for schools were introduced in 1858, in response to a demand from schools themselves as a way of measuring their pupils’ knowledge. But have you ever wondered where exams came from? Well, here’s how it all began. EVOLUTION OF EXAMS. Students pose during exam week.

He also had some advice for next year’s class: “My biggest piece of advice for the Class of 2015 would be to always stay positive throughout the entire week, trust the people of your class because they are just as enthusiastic about the event as you and take the time to really enjoy what you are doing. It is one of the best experiences you can have.” sprint driving forward october november december Students make a strong push to the end of the calendar year before the much-needed Christmas break. lIghTIng up Four days after Thanksgiving each year, seniors gather to decorate the school with Christmas lights and ornaments.

When your pages are printed, the original graphic must be available and linked or only the lowresolution version of the graphic will print, often resulting in bitmapped images. • External margins act as a frame around the outside edges of the spread and should be kept free of content elements with the exception of bleed photos and folios. • Internal margins, or internal spacing, is the white space between content elements. Consistent spacing is the key. One pica is suggested. MARKETING PLAN: Outlines the details of a yearbook sales campaign and highlights reasons for consumers to buy the yearbook. The plan includes goals/objectives, target audience, theme, timelines, sales dates, events, strategies and materials needed. MINI-DEADLINE: By breaking down larger deadlines into smaller, more manageable mini-deadlines, stress is reduced and pages get completed on a timely basis. MORTISE: A special technique that places photos on a design so they overlap or touch. Or, smaller photos might be inset into a larger photo. This strategy works most effectively when the content of the photos justifies the treatment. MULTIPLE: Yearbooks are printed on large sheets of paper called signatures. A multiple, also called a flat, contains the eight pages on one side of the sheet. Since there are two sides to the press sheet, there are two multiples per signature.

Her experience at an orphanage left a definite and permanent impact on her heart and cemented her desire to work with children. “It’s opened a door of compassion in me,” Tripode said. “I see things so differently now.

PHOTO BLOCKS: When designing spreads using YearTech, photo areas must be tagged in one of two ways: • • lack and white photos are tagged B&W photo. B Color photos are tagged process color photo. PHOTO COMPOSITION: The content of a photo. The best photojournalistic images capture action and reaction and often incorporate the following techniques: ominance of the main subject creating a center D of interest. Real or imaginary leading lines directing attention to center of interest. • Repetition of patterns in the foreground or background. • Framing the center of interest by content. • PHOTO CONTEST: A yearly competition for middle school and high school student photographers sponsored by Jostens. To view the winning photos and for information on entering the contest, visit www.yearbookavenue.com. PHOTO CREDIT: A credit line underneath a photo or as part of the caption giving the name of the photographer. PHOTO IDENTIFICATION: Text accompanying a photograph identifying individuals and perhaps providing a brief explanation of the content, generally not a complete sentence or as detailed as a caption. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION: A special technique in which a photo is “created” to illustrate a story. This might require the posing of subjects or objects. Electronic tools might be used to alter or recreate the image. The content of the illustration should be planned. What does the reader learn from the illustration?

In past years, they have never enforced anything like this. I think they should have gone about it differently.” Come Monday, the controversy wasn’t over.

Photo by As Fast As You Can 2 The 5 kilometer or 3.1 mile run consisted of two different races. The first was a four person relay and the next an individual 5K. The course closely emulated the course that West cross-country runners used during their time trials. The four lap course toured through the SM West campus. One of the runners, sophomore Erika Smith competed in the four person relay. This is Smith’s first time participating in the run. “I was on a team with [sophomores] Elaine Williams, Kathryn Brown and Kathleen Lansdon. We all dressed up as cowgirls and wore flannel shirts and cowboy hats. For the baton we used a horse head on a stick,” Smith said. During the relay, the older in age team Where’s Waldo sent two runners at once. This caused them to gain a lead on Smith’s team who crossed the finish line last. A new addition to the event this year was the costume contest. Junior Jonathan Wilson, his family, and sophomore Ian Wiscombe came up with an elaborate costume to win the contest. 4 3 Juliane Francia The fall academic awards program was an annual event held to honor academic accomplishments of students.

Members of the community lined the street to watch the floats created by various sports and clubs, as well as faculty. The counseling office took home the coveted staff trophy once again, despite a flat tire. The counselors dressed up as members of the band KISS and had a concert like set-up on their trailer. The student prize was awarded to the boys and girls basketball teams for the second year in a row. Second was taken by cross country and third by boys soccer. The basketball team created a replica 50s soda shop, complete with a juke box and a black and white tiled floor. The girls wore poodle skirts and the boys wore cuffed jeans and white T-shirts to complete the theme. Junior Justin Fetzer was a member of the float. “The parade was amazing. There were so many sick floats. I just knew that we would win because I was dressed as Elvis,” Fetzer said. The parade led students to a pep rally at the gazebo in downtown Overland Park. Coach Tim Callaghan and senior football players gave speeches to excite the crowd for the game. Kez Demby spoke to the fans. “I remember being an underclassmen and watching all the guys I looked up to give their speeches and how I wanted to be like them someday. When my time finally came, I realized that I was a senior that had underclassmen looking up to me. And that was a proud moment for me,” Demby said, “I felt a little sadness thinking that this was my final pep rally as a Viking.” The Game Former students and faculty crowded SM South stadium for the varsity football game. Dance team and cheer had members return to 046 perform on the track like old times. At halftime, the Vikings were crushing the Indians 49 to 0. Attention turned to the top 12 homecoming candidates standing on the sideline. Second attendant to the king was a tie between Jake Vance and Swedi Ntakirutimana, while first attendant was awarded to Brett Neely. Jack Jeronimus was crowned homecoming king. Kathryn Martin won second attendant, and first attendant was given to Jillian Benson. Kayla Rogers, student body president, was named the homecoming queen. “I was shocked. I didn’t expect to win,” Rogers said, “I was happy that I won but I felt like everyone deserved to win.” In the second half, a senior suffered a career ending injury. Robert Rice broke his left leg after getting tackled by an opposing player. “My first thought was its over, and why me?” Rice said, “But the pain of it being over was a lot harder to handle.” With revenge in mind, the Vikings went on to win the game 58 to 0, pushing them to 6-1. “For the Record, I like to sleep.” COLOR Job No. 44936 Page No. Jenny Brown, junior 46 383 382 COLOR tickets sold balloons hours of decorating f-86280-bt13-d19 fr-64407-bt13-dt5 people on a party bus records Job No.044936 School Name Name School Page No. shawnee mission 382 Job No.044936 School Name Name School shawnee mission Page No. School Name Name shawnee mission west School TRAPPED WHITE SPACE: An outdated yearbook design term still in use.

Nothing seemed trashier than filling an old pick up truck with water to make a red neck hot tub,” Clark said. Photo by Kira Cravens 002 Live! with Regis and Kelly Ariana Camacho, freshmen Page No. Job No. 044936 School Name Shawnee Mission West Words by Juliane Francia Every year students from Karen Tritt’s Spanish 4 classes perform a group project that recreates the NBC show “Live! with Regis and Kelly”, now Live! with Kelly and Michael. There are two TV show hosts, five celebrities and three interviewers. Students also have the choice to have a commercial break or “breaking news” story. The celebrity groups ranged from the cast of the “Hunger Games” to the cartoon characters in “SpongeBob”. The celebrities answered the questions of the interviewers just as the real life people would. The skits were all in Spanish and Tritt captured all of them on video. “The kids have to use real Spanish in a fun situation and each student picks a part that suits his or her strengths,” Tritt said. 8 9 147 students invited “My dad, my brother and Ian all dressed up as food and my mom dressed up as a Price Chopper cashier and used a shopping cart that all the “food” got in and my mom pushed us around,” Wilson said. Individual runners as well as teams received gingerbread man medals for their top finishing or creative costume. “One of the best parts was seeing everyone dressed up. All the costumes were very creative. I also really liked watching everyone get their gingerbread man rewards,” Smith said. Last year the run had 60 people and raised $300 which Jeff Onnen, cross country coach and organizer of the event, called “humble beginnings”. This year, the race proved much more successful with 94 runners who raised a total of $1,500. “The race had a great atmosphere,” said Wilson, “It was awesome to see how many people braved the cold and participated for a good cause.” School Name shawnee mission west f-86280-bt2 THEME DEVELOPMENT: The best themes wed verbal and visual elements into a seamless whole.
