Ms. Neeley, a teacher at the Springville Junior, High was asked to be the new yearbook teacher in late March, after last year’s yearbook teacher left. Ms. Neeley said, “I was really excited to teach yearbook, but I was also nervous. I was on yearbook staff when I was in junior high, so I knew it would be really fun, but I was nervous about everything that I would have to organize.”

In yearbook Ms. Neeley teaches the students about taking good pictures, making creative layouts, and organizing the yearbook. The students of yearbook staff are in charge of designing the yearbook, taking and editing pictures, giving surveys, picking the cover design, and deciding on the theme.

Every year there is a new yearbook staff. This year there are seven students. We had the chance to interview three of those students. We interviewed Allison Udall, Alyssa Payne, and Kyle Gashler. Allison Udall said that she likes taking yearbook because there are a lot of good kids in that class. Kyle Gashler said he loves taking yearbook because it gives you a sense of accomplishment. “Yearbook is not an easy class, in the beginning it’s easy, but it gets harder throughout year,” Alyssa Payne explained.
