TCS Seniors are currently making the yearbook featuring the whole school, it will be released at the end of the school year.

Every year the Seniors produce a yearbook at school to create one last memory that will last their whole life.

Even though the yearbook is not released until the end of the school year, it has to be done for January because of the production. Seniors have to take pictures, write a dedicatory, nicknames, tribs, and a collage of pictures.

“Yes, right now we have to turn in the dedicatory, which is the text that you write for the people you care about, the rest of the stuff like the pictures, tribs, and nicknames, can be for January,” Laura Santamaría, TCS Senior, said.

Each Senior gets 2 full pages of the yearbook for their own. One page is full of pictures, the other has the dedicatory, the name, and all the other important information.

“The dedicatory is so short, we can only write one page and there’s so many people I would like to mention. There is my family, friends, and much more people that are special to me,” Santamaría said.

But it is not the process of writing the yearbook that is important, what is mostly important is the memory that you will keep for the rest of your life.

“This is the last memory you will have from school, it is not only a memory of yourself but also from all your classmates which went through 14 years of school with you,” Santamaría said.

Some people don’t realize this at the time, but the yearbook has all the information of you experience at school, and this book will never expire. Even for people that graduated more than 20 years ago, they still have it with them.

“I still have my yearbook from 1984, I even remember when we were making it when I was a Senior. It is incredible how this tradition is so strong through the years,” Cecilia Bernal, 1984 TCS Senior, said.

The yearbook focuses mostly on the people graduating that year, but it still features the whole school.

“It is something very important for the whole school, I buy it since I am in sixth grade and enjoy it. Next year I would like to help with the production of the yearbook,” Simon Escobar, TCS 11th grader, said.

Basically the yearbook is a symbol not only for the seniors, but for the whole school. It is the most important memory everyone gets when they graduate from The Columbus School.

“Thanks to my yearbook, I will never forget my classmates and my experiences at school,” Bernal said.
