i was on the MS yearbook staff....
we had to write 1 page saying why we were good enough to be on the staff. and to draw a pretty yearbook cover idea. im a good arist, so i think my picture did if for me. i suck at writing. :]

anyways, i like... the MOST LIKELY TO BE... and SPORTS PICTURES and the senior pages.. thats most of it...

[*tweeak*]

i did that in middle school, so i could just say i was experienced, but theres no time in my schedual

[TinkerBabi3]

I signed up for yearbook, and we hada write something to be in it too..but i dun think i made it

[aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

This is my third year on my high school yearbook staff, I joined the staff as a Sophomore, which is usually unheard of at our school. I'm assistant editor this year, and like you, I had to write a short essay to provide an explanation on why I wanted to join the staff. Depending on what type of essay your adviser is looking for, should effect what type of essay you type. If they want an essay that shows your skills in writing, then by all means, write about a subject you feel comfortable about. If they want you to write something specific about yearbook, then talk about your different qualities and how you feel you can be an important part to the staff. Some qualities I look for in potential staff members:


-Teamwork
-Leadership
-Past Experience in Design (not dependent on Yearbook alone; bring up the fact that you do things like createblog.com. A lot of yearbooks are moving from traditional yearbook designs to more magazine-abstract type designs. This could be a plus for you being on the staff).
-Contrasting Independence (Be careful, you already said you work good in a team, but let your adviser know you're not scared to accept tasks and work on them alone. Assure the adviser that while you work well in a team setting, you can also accomplish anything they need you to do alone).
-Overall Desire to be a part of an award-winning Staff (Something my staff is, and we are very proud of. Any applicants should be excited about our history in the awards we've won, and want to be a part of that).
FINALLY :
-Dependability (If you don't take care of your own tasks and meet your deadlines, it doesn't just affect you, it has an impact on the entire staff and possibly the entire school depending on how late you are and if it causes your adviser to miss their mail-off deadline. Let your adviser know that you can handle any task that they give you, and if you feel that you can't, you're not ashamed to get help).

If you have ANY questions at all, or just want to talk about Journalism or Yearbook (be it the application process, experiences, or design concepts) feel free to drop me a line in my inbox or at my e-mail (wingman_attack@hotmail.com).

i did yr. book without writing any essay, b/c i was in journalism my freshmen yr. then i took yr. book sophmore yr and photojournalism (takes pics. for the yr. book)...its fun shit..but when deadlines are due...editors can be bitches...

[penguin]

[WhiteLotus*]

This is my first year in Yearbook and Journalsim. It's a coinjoined class. Just, write. Anything that comes to mind. And I also did something similar to what BZbodyboarder84 said. I will now soon be Copy Editor of Newspaper and Yearbook.

hehe i dont think these are some in my school, but it would be cool to read all of these in a yearbook^^;; just my opinion =]

[inthemudhole]

I was in yearbook staff last year.
We just put in pictures of people around school, school events, dances, football games, people hanging out, etc.
Nothing reallllly special.

[*thesweetescape*]

Our yearbooks are really extravagent and they make such a big deal out of them that we have a whole year-long class devoted to just yearbook....only sophmores and up can take it and if you decide you do want to take it, you have to be interviewed and then commit for three years. The thing that bothers me the most though, is that they have so much pressure put on them that to make the yearbook interesting, half of the stuff that write, they make up. So basically, our yearbook is fake. Example: My freshman year, my friend (same grade) was on the freshman level swim team and in a caption by her name they said she was on JV. It's not that big of a deal but stuff like that is all OVER the yearbook. Something really cool that they do every other year is add a CD to the yearbook with extra pictures and videos and stuff. They also have an insert that focuses on a certain topic and highlights students that pertain to that topic on our school. Example: last year, it was twins so they interviewed a few sets and got some pictures and stuff. The bad part of all this: we don't get our yearbooks until the following school year on picture day because they take so long to publish...so basically, nobody signs yearbooks.

[LiNHy POO]

haha im on the yearbook staff this year! im a section editor! whee! well you have to be creative and be open to all ideas, thats something you can put.

[miszkristinexox]

im in photojournalism and we just take the pictures for the yearbook, but then actual yearbook staff puts it together.

[Saeglopur]

My yearbook is lame. Enough said.

[faithin_felix]

lol, when i saw this topic i thought it was for createblog yearbook, lol


anyways, then why don't u write essay?

[Chaos13]

I'm pretty good at essays! no seriously! REALLY!! fine don't belive me.

GOOD LUCK THO!!!

[islandkiss]

esh.. I want to join also.. but it's just so hard to get in...

[yonseiboi]

My yearbook is lame. Enough said.

You need 2 go to our school PVPHS (largest yearbook in the world... like over everything)... but the bad thing is we must sell $2,000 worth of adds or we'll like fail the class... and i've sold 7 and only have $650!

[< Random >]

Ya, I'm on Yearbook Staff too... Pretty cool that a bunch of people on here are on Yearbook staff as well... But anyway... At my school you can only join Soph. year because they say Freshman year there is too much going on, but anyway... I joined Soph year, and my first year I became the Clubs Editor... Which was pretty cool, but a pain in the butt because of orchestra and all those clubs with the huge list of names, but anyway... I am sports editor this year, and next year it will be very interesting because I will be the only returning third year as all of the returning people this year except me are Seniors... Oi... It is going to be very difficult especially with these beginners that we have now... *shakes head slowly*

Oh well... Hopefully they improve A LOT by next year...
