For generations, yearbooks have been a source people use to glance at school history and remember their special experiences. Every yearbook allows so many students to look back at the prime of their life years into the future, and for others, it allows them to see new things they hadn’t known about in their school. . Years from now, countless Silverwolves will be able to reminisce using their old high school yearbook, and it’s all thanks to our very own dedicated yearbook crew.
Ms. Tervort is the Yearbook advisor this year. This was her first year teaching Yearbook at Fremont. Prior to coming here, she taught Yearbook for nine years at Rocky Mountain Junior High. Tervort says, “Yearbook is both my most difficult and most rewarding part of teaching because it’s a lot of stress. But there’s something special about opening that box [of yearbooks] at the end of the year when it arrives.”
There are 13 students on staff with 5 Editors, and 1 Editor-in-Chief. To join the yearbook club you need to meet certain design requirements to be an editor, and a good GPA.
Obviously, yearbook is considered photo-journalism so having photography skills is required.
What’s not mentioned about the yearbook is the amount of time spent behind the scenes at games, dances, events, assemblies, and more. It’s a very time consuming job.
Asia Morris, a senior and yearbook editor reflects, “One time before work I had to quickly take photos for yearbook. I had to tell my work I was going to be late, but I was honestly happy because yearbook is fun, so it was a small break before going right back to work.”
Additionally, Kaylee Marsh, a sophomore and staff member, explains how she separates her time, “I get most of it done in class, but sometimes when deadlines come up, which is like, every one or two months, I’ll work on my pages at home. Other than that, my personal life is spent by going to events or games every once in a while.”
The dedication and hard work the staff take out of their own time to create our yearbook is appreciated by our student body. Especially through the final product by the end of the year.
Raine Peterson, a senior and the Editor in Chief/Design Editor, gives some advice to incoming staff members and how she manages the stress of leading the team, “Try not to overwork yourself, but also find a balance between, like, being an editor and other needs, you don’t want to make yearbook your entire personality, but you definitely want to dedicate time to the process.”
Peterson’s advice applies to almost anyone whether they are inside or outside of the yearbook club.
Asia Morris adds , “You’re making something special that everybody can look back on, and appreciate in the future.”
This club devotes so much time and effort to fabricate a legacy for generations to look upon and for our class and school to admire at the end of the year. We thank Yearbook and their creative, dedicated minds.
