Yearbooks

In the years prior to my senior year at highschool, yearbooks didn't really hold that many memories for me. Sure, there were the class photos and stuff, but I'd always come back next year, see the same faces again and have fun like I did the previous year. Every year, the style and theme of the yearbook would vary. One year it would be a graffiti styled yearbook, the next it would be a time theme. This year, the yearbook committee (comprised of seniors mainly) took on a collage theme. So when you flip through some of the pages, you'd be able to find crazy pictures of your class, your friends and even yourself!

I never knew there was so much hard work put in to get the yearbook together. The committee had sent out mass Facebook messages to our grade to get our graduate profiles in, the photos we wanted, the timings for the individual photos, details on what we were allowed to write and what not to write and the maximum number of photos allowed on the profile per person...the list is endless. I started to wonder how their jobs would have been even more arduous had it not been for the Facebook group and the easy methods of communication we now have (MSN, cellphones, etc.) My partner in class was the head of the Yearbook committee and she'd always have a to-do list on her file. There was at least one item on the list related to the yearbook. I'm sure she's glad that its over, and that it was a success too.

After months of hard work and cooperation, the yearbook now is a beautiful compilation of memories from the academic year '09-'10. Great work, Yearbook Committee '09-'10!

This post is dedicated to the Yearbook Commitee, and the Class of '10 at ISC-DXB.
