Things that could be done to make the yearbook cooler
- A running gag. A piece of each of this joke would appear on each page. For instance:
Page 45:The religious aspect of the school taught students to be both scholarly and spiritual. So this guy walks into a bar. These two aspects are vital parts of development for all people.
Page 46:The ping-pong team allowed sport-loving students to find a niche without having athletic or go to frequent practices. He asks the bar tender "Can I get a scotch on the rocks?" This allowed more time for their school work.
This would also work with just a random phrase. In each story you have something like "Football is considered the greatest sport by many people. The bananas got up and left the room. Kelly Purple commented 'I like football because it is played by many intellectual people.'"
- Where's Waldo? But not Waldo, because that's very unoriginal. Something cool. Like "Where's Shannon Kelsey?" and her imprint or name is somewhere on each spread, and you have to find it. The first person to find all of them gets a day out of school.
- Find that typo! Is it a typo or intentional sabotage by a disgruntled yearbook staffer? And since there are so many typos and misspellings, the fun will never end!
- School-wide caption contest.
- i say we make a yearbook with jfk junior on the cover. o, and yea... yearbook is crazy (Contributed by KELLY, YEARBOOK VETERAN... i suffered that horrible shit longer than you folksies!!!!!)
- I WANT TO GO TO ETHIOPIA, SO I CAN GO UP TO PEOPLE AND GO "HA! I HAVE MORE MONEY THAN YOU!" AND I COULD TIE CORN ON A FISHING POLE AND SIT IN A TREE AND TRY TO GET THEM TO TAKE IT. I WOULD ALSO PUT WAX FRUIT EVERYWHERE. (Contributed by a SUSPICIOUS GUY)
- well, i was gonna say that they shoud let everyone put a regular picture of themselves instead of their school picture....but when i got to thinking, i realized that it would be more fun to make fun of poor people in ethiopia. that would be just the greatest time of ALL time!!!

Things that could be done to make yearbook class cooler
- The draft. Instead of being criminally understaffed and making it difficult for those who DO care about the yearbook, have a weekly draft, so everybody would serve their school for that week, write a story or two, maybe take pictures, and be off again.
- A dress code. Shirts MUST remain untucked, and pants, if worn, must be worn on your head.
- Snack time
- Manditory moment of noise
- HMMMM, What do I want? Well, besides money, a great body, and to live happily ever after, I would like YOU TO BE BACK ON YEARBOOK!!!! When are these idiots going to get it that they can't just let everyone go. Or else we will not have a yearbook! I'm so happy that you made it out alive. I just hope you survive without yearbook being your life. J/K! Congratulations! Now hopefully you will not be as dumb as I was and come back! Spend your free time doing fun things like having locker partys and hanging out with Ryan. I thought it was wierd that nobody said anything today about your being gone. I was not sure if that was because nobody knew or because they were just being silent. (Contributed by Jennifer)
- How about an editer to help keep us on track! Oh, wait we had one but they kicked her off! My bad! (Contributed by Jennifer)
- A photography staff maybe! Oh ya- we had one of those too last year, but they decided that we did not need one and to put the pictures on top of everybody elses work load! What was I thinking!(Contributed by Jennifer)
- Hmmm!!! OH, I know, I know! What could be more fun, more useful, and more memorable then having a team of people who design new and different layouts for the whole entire book! YEAH, because we don't need those people to be doing anything else and the rest of the school would really enjoy and notice a lot of great looking layouts. Maybe we should just make the whole book just a bunch oflayouts! Doesn't that sound great! Oh, but wait, a bunch of layouts would not be a yearbook would it? And the students don't give a crap about them and if they are all the same- do they? A yearbook is supposed to be memorable moments and pictures captured in time! I guess that was a bad idea wasn't it? (Contributed by Jennifer)
- OK, this time I got it! no, really, I DO! How about some team leaders that know what the they are doing! Or even better- HOW ABOUT A MODERATOR WHO KNOWS WHAT THE HELL THEIR DOING!!! (Contributed by Jennifer)
- i still like the glamarpy idea (Contributed by kelly miss kelly)
The Glamarpy Idea: I don't remember the details, but there were these two kids on yearbook who our advisor loved, Pete and Glen. If memory serves, were were going to somehow cross them, and make lots of Glamarpies. We would then sell them to the advisor for $90 dollars a pop. It probably wasn't $90 dollars each, but for some reason that figure jumps into my head. Anyway, we'd sell them and they'd do all the yearbook work.
Suggestions?
