Take a look at this article from the Ladue-Frontenac Patch about St. Louis artist Jay Alan Babcock, who spent time working with students from the Community School on his latest project based on old yearbook photos.
Babcock started by scanning the yearbook photos and making copies, then taking the copies and placing them over carbon paper to outline parts of the image or whole images. The images then become drawings, or paintings.
The season premiere of Fox’s hit TV show Glee is only a week away. As part of the promotion of the new season, last week the network put out a series of “yearbook” class photos of the cast.
As a show about a high school choir group, it’s not the first time Glee has used a yearbook reference.
This weekend will mark the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the U.S. Many yearbook staffs will likely choose to include some form of 9/11 anniversary coverage in this year’s book, particularly those in areas directly impacted.
This week on the JEA’s website, their quarterly publication – Journalism Education Today – created a slide show looking back at some of the coverage student publications provided on the attacks 10 years ago.
The National Scholastic Press Association (NSPA) has dubbed this week “Awards Week” and they will be naming a different set of finalists for their various awards each day this week.
You can see the results as they are revealed over at the NSPA website.
Major bonus points to the staff at Sherwood High in Sandy Spring, Md., for this hilarious yearbook video they created this summer for the film festival at the Walsworth East summer workshop.
Several good tips to be picked up from watching this video – it’s not a good idea to run with scissors, don’t try ordering a Whopper at McDonald’s.
Popular family history website Ancestry.com announced this week that it was adding around 25,000 new U.S. yearbooks to its searchable online collection.
According to the company’s announcement, the site’s “U.S. Yearbook Collection” now includes close to seven million images from yearbooks dating all the way back to 1884.
U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt (Mo.) continued one of his annual swings through the state of Missouri on Tuesday by visiting the yearbook printing facilities at Walsworth in Marceline.
Sen. Blunt took a quick tour of the Walsworth presses and Bindery, then held a roundtable discussion on the economy with local business leaders and elected officials.
It’s always fun to go back to your old yearbooks and flip through the photos of you and your friends, just to see how times have changed.
Just as popular are old yearbook photos of celebrities, so we can all get a glimpse of their school days before they were famous. SI.com has done that this week with a new photo gallery of some famous athletes and images from their high school yearbooks.
TV station WLUK channel 11 in Appleton/Green Bay, Wisc., featured the Menasha High School yearbook staff this morning during a weekly Friday segment spotlighting local schools and high school football.
It was a sweet little bit of pub for the staff and their book, which as they explained – loves using lots of photos.
