The Trident yearbook has entered into the presale period. This year, the entire yearbook will be in color, which yearbook staff members are using as a selling point.
Trident staff members distributed order forms in first period classes, instead of in the mail, as had been done in previous years. They were distributed in this manner because in previous years some students had problems receiving the pre sale form in the mail. The staff looks forward to having great success with the yearbooks and hopes to generate a lot of buzz throughout the school with their changes. Students must turn in the money and the order form to Trident adviser Wendy Borrelli in room E314.
“I hope to sell as many yearbooks as possible and generate as much excitement about the yearbook as possible,” Borrelli said.
The Trident is taking on new ideas this year to further improve the yearbooks. The senior class pages will not be the only part of the yearbook that is in color this year; the entire yearbook will be in color.
Many students are excited about this change, especially the people new to the school.
“I’m excited for this year’s yearbook because the yearbook is in color this year and I can look back at myself and my friends as a senior,” freshman Kyle Cotter said.
Students cannot procrastinate because the Trident is ordering fewer books than usual in their effort to sell out, which they previously have not done. Students will most likely not be able to buy the 2008-2009 yearbook in their senior year like past students have done.
“Juniors say that they will wait till their senior year to get the yearbook but most likely this year there will not be enough,” Borrelli said.
Some students look forward to taking full advantage of this opportunity to get their yearbook for less.
“I always get my yearbook during the pre-sale. I’d rather get ten dollars off now then ten dollars more for the same thing later. The pre-sale helps people out because you don’t have to pay as much,” junior Amanda Robles said.
For some seniors, the yearbook is not a worthy investment as the yearbook may seem expensive. However, others believe they should not miss this opportunity to capture fun moments and keep track of memories the many memories of high school.
“I’m going to definitely make sure I buy my yearbook during the pre-sale. It’ll be my last memories of my friends and my time at Springbrook,” senior Simon Kasemphantai said.
The presale ends on Thursday, October 16.
