Last year, only 12% of the senior class at the University of Rhode Island got a picture taken for the school’s yearbook. That didn’t sit well with the yearbook staff, who has set out this year to improve that number.
As related in this article in the URI student newspaper, co-editor Jenn Lashinsky said the staff has been placing banners around the Student Union, stuffing mailboxes with fliers and created a Facebook page for the yearbook, among other things.
Keeping old high school memories alive and letting old friends track each other down has become something of a pet cause for Claude Fant of Hamilton, Ohio.
This article from the Hamilton Journal-News describes how Fant has been working for almost a decade now on the website hhsalumni.net, a membership site where people who went to Hamilton schools can keep in touch. As part of the project, Fant has scanned in photos from every Hamilton yearbook from 1915 to the present.
The Agromeck, the award-winning yearbook at North Carolina State University, has started a new campaign to give away a free yearbook to every senior at the school who gets a senior portrait taken.
The project is a pilot program being tested this year and is being funded by summer school student fees.
Thanks to many requests from alums and others looking for information dating back years, Purdue University decided to take 122 back editions of the school’s Debris yearbook and add them to the University’s Online Library collection.
The website that now holds all the back editions of the Debris includes a keyword search, so users can find old photos, or find the scores of old Purdue games.
The JEA/NSPA Fall National High School Journalism Convention was Nov. 12-15 in Washington D.C., and Walsworth was there.
If you were at the convention, we want you to join in! Come upload your own images from D.C. right here.
The Friday afternoon keynote session at the JEA/NSPA Convention started out on an energetic note with a performance from local D.C. dance troupe Colours, who bounced on stage and through the crowd to the sounds of James Brown, Michael Jackson and Janet Jackson, frequently with the students in the crowd joining in.
And the optimistic tone continued when veteran newspaper reporters, and married couple, Peter Baker and Susan Glasser took the stage to speak to the crowd about the future of journalism.
Even with cold, wet rain soaking the host city, the first day of the Fall National High School Journalism Convention got off to a rousing start on Thursday.
After many staffs spent the rain-soaked morning taking in the historical sites around Washington D.C., the exhibit floor opened on Thursday afternoon and was greeted with a throng of traffic thanks to what JEA/NSPA are calling the largest convention crowd in the event’s history at more than 6,300 attendees.
Let the fun begin – hundreds of publications staffs from all over the country began to arrive in Washington D.C. today for this week’s JEA/NSPA National High School Journalism Convention.
Speaking of fun, try a 6 a.m. flight into the Nation’s Capital! That’s what myself and my Walsworth co-workers had this morning, and we shared that flight with some aspiring young journalists very excited to be on their way to the convention.
East High School in Denver, like a lot of schools, has a rich history that goes back 100 years. Championship teams, famous alums – and it’s all chronicled in the school’s own museum.
Naturally, the school’s yearbooks from over the years – including the first one from 1909 – are an important part of the memorabilia.
You can start planning out your convention schedule before you ever get to D.C. later this week, by taking a look at the JEA/NSPA program online.
