What are the roles of a high school yearbook staff?

Answer 1

I am editor and chief of my school newspaper, and the uses of the class are:

• Learn skills in Photography
• SKills in journalism
• Skills in page design
• People skills (Yes, you have to talk to people to interview them)
• Art skills
• You get a better eye for good design
• Interaction with people who like the same things as you do
• If you want to be an author, photographer, journalist, newspaper journalist etc... this class looks GREAT on college applications adn Job Applications.

Roles of a staff member

• photography for the ENTIRE book
• page design, yes, set up photo boxes, and set in the pictures and graphics and mail the pges in where they turn it into a book
• Interveiw people for copy (many paragraphs within a page)
• Write copy
• Sometimes show up for events to take pictures for another class or even school
• Help out with other people on the yearbook staff
• Design a cover for the book
• Design endsheets for book
• Design divider pages for book
• Pretty much, EVERYTHING you see in the yearbook is done by the staffers themselves!

For the actually book, it is useful to:

• Remember all the good times you had
• Laugh at how hairstyles/styles have changed
• See how your "cute" boyfriend turned ugly.
• Remember your best firends adn what they looked like
• Smile when you read all your pals' signatures
• When you are first signing them, you may get up the courage to ask your crush to sign your book, or someone may ask you.
• Face it; they bring smiles and happiness to a dull, dull year!!!

Does that answer your question?
