Top ten reasons to join a high school yearbooks staff?
Well I was on the yearbook staff and I know some pretty good reasons why I would go back and do it again. 1. When your friends with all the people who have the cameras your picture is in the yearbook a lot more than the other kids. 2. You get to miss school quite a bit, selling yearbook ads, going on yearbook trips, etc., and all absences are excused. 3. They teach you a lot about developing film in the dark room, that was my favorite part. 4. You got to go sit on the bench right next to all the guys at all of the sporting events, so close you can smell the sweat, and since they want their pic in the yearbook, they kiss your butt so you will take pictures of them, lol. 5. You get to create a lot of yearbook pictures, that way on all the pages you create you can put whatever pictures you want on there, even that one of your enemy with no make up on or something equally humiliating. So there are five good reasons, I am at a loss for more at the moment, but yearbook staff was one of my favorite high school groups, you will have a blast. I am not sure I would use those five reasons in your paragraph, I am just trying to motivate you to write the best paragraph you can, so you can get in. Good Luck!
Should I quit yearbook?
I’m a sophomore this year and have been in yearbook since freshman year. I was planning to stay all 4 years so I can letter in it and so I could use it in college essays, but it’s very stressful. They make us stay once a week at school for 12+ hours. The work is very time consuming too especially when I have work for other classes. Should I just power through it so I can say I did all 4 years and letter in it or should I leave while I have the chance? I’m planning to major in a medical field but minor in something with writing for university.
I want to join the yearbook staff,but I have to write an essay, i don't know what to write. What should I say?
Be honest. Your reason for joining does sound unfavorable when you say it that way. But I think it's not really that bad a reason, and if you give it a little thought you can state it in an essay so that it will sound great. All you have to do is think it through. I'll give you some questions that might guide you toward what you can say in your essay. It's your goal to be the kind of person a college wants to admit, right ? Take a look at the fact that colleges favor students who have been involved in activities. What benefits do people get from activities that makes them better college students than people who don't get involved ? What benefits are you going to get from being on the yearbook staff ? What do you expect or hope to learn ? Do you want to go to college because you have a career goal in mind ? Because you want to further your education ? Because you just always figured you'd go ? Because there's lots of pressure from family and school to go ? (The last two are the reasons why I went, but I had a great experience.) When you finish college, what kind of person do you want to be ? Is it just "me, only with the degree required to do my job of choice" ? If you have any thoughts about future goals beyond just college admission, that might fit into your essay. I'm sorry, but I have to run now. Good luck !
Opinions about Yearbook Staff Application?
I am applying to be on the yearbook staff for the 2011 school year. I was asked to write 150 words on why i want to be on the yearbook staff. I'd love to know your guys' opinions. *constructive criticism only please. & don't ask why i used atericks to bleep out what high school i went to, its for privacy reasons. Tell me whatcha think! I want to be on the yearbook staff of 2011 because I want to be able to put together memories that will last a lifetime. The yearbook is something that every student looks forward to receiving at the end of the year, and if I were a part of making it happen, I’d feel so proud. I went to ******* High School my freshman year and the yearbook was horrible; it had so many grammar errors and cut-off sentences. I want to help make the yearbook come out successful. I believe I would make a good yearbook staff member because I love working with others in order to achieve new and creative ideas. I want to be on yearbook staff because I love to write, I’m organized and very creative, and I would love to work with other students who are passionate about the same things that I am and are willing to work together and put their time and effort into reaching a common goal. It is fun to look back at old yearbooks and remember all the good times you had, see how your once “cute” boyfriend isn’t so “cute” anymore, and smile at what all your friends wrote. When it seems like you’ve had a dull year, you open up your yearbook and remember all the fun times you really had. I would feel honored to be a part of making this happen.
How does someone become a Yearbook teacher?
I was on the Yearbook staff when I was in 7th grade and have kept up with the interest ever since but I don't really know what you have to do to become one. I am currently a Junior in college and am Majoring in Graphic design and would love to specialize in Layout Design for magazines but Yearbook was what really sparked my interest in the first place. So, what do you have to do to become a Yearbook Teacher?
Should I join yearbook? Is it only for girls?
I want to join yearbook and get more involved with my school. I've seen all the yearbook staff and they are all girls? If I joined I'd be the only guy. I really don't wanna be the only guy in yearbook, what if comments go around school? Should I join? I enjoy photography and yearbook is the closest thing we have. Anybody who was in yearbook, do you have pros and cons?

Should I buy my 8th grade yearbook?
I think you should buy one because it's your last year of middle school and you're probably going to miss it. You might want to see pictures of people in high school and stuff... Our school does a yearbook signing at the last day. I'm not sure if your school does it, but if they do, you should buy one! :D
How do high school yearbooks work?
This could get long. If you mean to ask what they are and how they are used, no problem. They are a diary of a school year contain photograps of the students and staff, team and club photographs, and pictures of memorable activities during the years: dances, plays, concerts, varsity and intermural games, commencement ceremonies, etc. They are often distributed to students during the last week of school and students and staff have their copies signed by others. I always considered it an honor to be asked by a student to sign a year book, and I used my grandfather's fountain pen, something I used only on very special occasions.If you mean to ask how they are produced, I can tell you, but as it took a year, an entire student staff, and the cooperation of a yearbook publisher and an often visiting editor, this answer will be more complex. I was the teacher-sponsor of my school's yearbook, and, I must tell you that the learning curve is steep! For those teachers who do it for more than one year (the turn over in this position is high), the second year is much easier, and you don't annoy the publisher nearly as much.You have to learn how to be a photographer and how to teach that skill to your student photographers. You have to learn lay-out and teach that. You have to learn to be a caption writer, and then teach that. When I was sponsor, there were no computers and everything had to be done by hand using large sheets of chart paper, scissors, and glue!Every month you had to plan, get pictures taken, choose which to use, write captions, cut and paste and mail the sheets the publishers, have them critiqued and returned, redo them at the same time you are working on the current month's pages, and repeat this every month until you reach the deadline. Then you fret until the books are delivered, you scan them for any errors, then get ready for the criticisms of you, your students, and your yearbook.I learned about gutters, bleeding edges, and a whole host of things I had not studied in college and passed these on to the student staff who did most of the work except for trying, and failing, to enforce deadlines and getting calls from the publisher's representative who sometimes implied and sometimes asked straight out how someone so hopeless could have been appointed yearbook sponsor!
