Brown County High School - Shadows Yearbook (Nashville, IN)

Writing stories, news, and feature articles, laying out pages, and trying to meet deadlines are all a part of working on a newspaper or a yearbook. Both classes involved the same skills in ways that weren't always that different. One of the only real differences between yearbook and newspaper is the purpose for which they are written. Newspapers are written to inform the public of the goings on in society, whether that society is international, national, community, or school. Yearbooks are produced to act as a history for a specific year, to house the memories of a specific group of individuals for that period of time. Over the years, trends in yearbooks have come and gone, but the purpose has stayed the same. They're there to look back on in future years and enjoy the memories of the past. A yearbook isn't easy to put together with deadlines to meet, pictures to take, copy to write, and layouts to design. It took a lot of individual and group effort that included some bickering along the way More than the 50 minute period assigned to the Shadows staff was used, too. There were several afterschool and even some weekend sessions that didn't always run smoothly, but the wrinkles and bumps were worked out. Yearbook was produced for the first time in this school on a computer using a Mac Plus. Also cutting and pasting, a method commonly used by newspaper, was also used by yearbook. This resulted in some problems, but it helped to change the look of the book as well as save much money that could then be budgeted for other important needs. The memories a yearbook preserves last forever. There is never a face or a moment forgotten. Thirty years from now, you can always know what a certain schoolmate looked like; just open up those pages of the past. Newspaper staffers faced some of the same problems that yearbook staff members had to deal with. A common question that was heard in the Times-B.C. news room was, What's going on right now in this school that we could write about? Is there anything new and exciting? That was just one of the questions asked. The staff worked hard to put out a newspaper with interesting news about our school and features about the students. Many nights after school were spent frantically working in order to meet the deadline. Some toes were stepped on, but after a deadline was met everyone was back to normal. Though there were differences between the staffs, jobs, and goals of the yearbook and newspaper, those who spent many hard, long hours would agree that both the experience and the product was worth the effort. .
