Yearbook, though rewarding, can be a stressful class.

"The typical yearbook student is strong academically," yearbook adviser Heidi Craft said. "Yearbook takes a more creative person than newspaper. It is more feature stories, rather than news." She encourages students to follow their writing area of strength. "If you like profile stories and researching people, then yearbook is the class for you," Craft said.

"In the beginning it’s very stressful, but gets fun towards the end," design editor Rachael Winfrey said. Editor-in-chief Brittney Wright agreed.

Getting to know each other and bonding with the staff members is a favored aspect of yearbook, but deadlines can be demanding.

"It’s like we are always on deadlines playing catch-up," Wright said. "If you sit around all class and leave [your work] until the last minute, that is when you get in trouble."

Therefore this class calls for a sense of time management. When considering yearbook, "prepare to work hard," Craft said. "But the end result is a reward that no one can imagine unless you’ve been on staff. When you crack open a newly-printed yearbook, the sense of pride is terrific!"
