About us

There’s no other book like the yearbook. It’s a task that involves lots of creativity, lots responsibility and a clear set of goals regarding the final product. A single edition of a journalistically sound yearbook serves many purposes.

It’s a … Picture Book: No one else has as many photos of the events at our school during the school year. Our staff chooses photographs wisely to help everyone remember as much as possible. And we try very hard not to slight any activities or social groups in favor of others.

History Book: Most people don’t save all their school newspapers; they’re often in the trash hours after they’re released. There’s no other place where the events and emotions of the year are chronicled so thoroughly.

Record Book: Here’s where research is important. Our staff keeps track of the facts, figures, scores and dates and work to make sure we’re accurate. Our yearbook will be a source of information for many years to come.

Reference Book: When memories start to fade, these photos become even more important. We make a real effort to include as many people as possible. Whether this means scheduling and including retakes, arranging photos in a logical order or including an index, we do it!

Public Relations Tool: An attractive book showing school spirit and pride has other uses as well. In addition to selling copies to businesses in the community (a source of revenue), doctors, dentists, and realtors have legitimate uses for them (they love to have them around for patients and clients).

Educational Experience: Our staff will take no other class at Aberdeen which offers them the kind of hands-on, real world experience that yearbook does. In addition to experience in areas ranging from design work and copy writing to desktop publishing and photography, yearbook requires cooperation, responsibility, teamwork, dedication and attention to deadlines and business matters like few other courses.

Magic Book: No one believed this more than Colonel Charles Savedge, who spent his last 30 years telling staffers nationwide about the magic of yearbooking. Likening a browse through an old yearbook to a trip to Disneyland, the Colonel insisted that a well-done yearbook would make the readers-whether they were 29 or 58 or 108 –return to their youth, like a visit with Mickey makes us all children again.
