Remember to capture facts and feelings that you and your fellow students will fondly look back on in the future. If something major happened at a jazz band contest and everyone talked about it the next week at school, that should make its way into the yearbook. If a student-athlete or performer gets a big honor then that should also make your layout. Also, don't forget to look at the events of the year from different angles. You can interview the star of the team, the president of FFA with the trophy from the fair, and the soloist from band... but you also can interview the fans that followed the ball team, the voc-ag freshman who dream of success at the state fair, and the cowbell player who waits all night for "Rock and Roll All Night".

Look for ways to reach everyone. This is a journal of the YEAR... everyone who had a part, whether large or small, in making it different and amazing.
