Today, Thurs. May 7, is Yearbook Distribution Day, and the yearbook staff is hard at work preparing to give students their long-awaited books. 950 books have been made, and the yearbook has been in the process of being made since the beginning of the year. Distribution begins at 2:10 p.m. in the West gym.

Seniors, and Editors-In-Chief, Dagnia Milasiute, Hannah MItsch, and Melanie Vasina, along with the rest of the staff have been preparing the yearbooks and gym for distribution. “We have set up tables, figured out who is going to be at what table and distributing to what class,” Mitsch said.

There has also been a problem with the supplements, papers that cover spring events, so the staff has also been filling the yearbooks with papers that explain these issues.

Students need to bring their IDs or something with their picture and name next to it that is proof that the student is who they say they are. “It can be a permit, a driver’s license, [or] a schedule printed out with your picture on it,” Mitsch said.

Students can also have a friend pick up the yearbook for them. That person, however, needs a note from the students with their signature and photo ID. “We keep that note,” Milasiute said. “So if someone brings us that and someone says ‘Oh, I never got my yearbook’, we have your note and we gave it to this person. We can figure it out.”

The yearbook staff is excited for the book, especially after winning first place in a national convention for the yearbook last year. “This book is like nothing anyone has seen before,” Vasina said. “I want to see how the school takes it versus how the yearbook takes it and see a different perspective.”

Students can still purchase a yearbook at distribution. The yearbook is $70, and seniors must pay in cash. Juniors, sophomores, and freshmen can either bring a check or cash.
