Ballad of the Yearbook Bandits


Shhh. If you listen closely, you can hear them. The yearbook committee, armed with blinding flashes, has begun their annual hunt. Darting in and around ping-pong tables, scampering through hallways, then bringing their bounty back to the lair for their prefect overseers to cut and paste into place. This year, however, they've taken your money, and turned the previously debt-stricken yearbook into the undisputed behemoth of committees. Or have they? Could the marketing of candygrams at Halloween, even though the yearbook has the absolute maximum amount of possible revenue this year, suggest that the debt is still not paid off?

At any rate, one would think that with all their newfound wealth, the yearbook committee would be able to put out a yearbook that truly served the students. The reality is, however, that this year's book will not. Students involved in the Visual Arts and Drama programs in the school will be feeling the gentle stroke of a collective cold shoulder, as the yearbook committee has opted to use the space for the Music department. And warm apologies also go out to those participating in activities this spring (e.g. the Boston Trip, and various sports teams), as they will also be excluded due to the scheduling scheme. The end result is, sadly, that the yearbook that everyone has been forced to buy does not include everyone.
