  • 2015 The LionMcKinney High SchoolMcKinney, Texas

    Theme: "More Than a School"
    Adviser: Lori Oglesbee – MJE
    Editors: Lauren Anderson, Amelia Kinsinger, Norma Salinas
    Walsworth representative: Lisa Llewellyn – CJE

    Thanks to district rezoning, McKinney High School grew going into the 2014-15 school year. As the staff explained in the opening of the 2015 edition of The Lion, “More freshmen. More classes. More rivalry.” It called for more yearbook, and that’s what the staff gave their readers in 2015 using the theme, “More Than a School.” The Lion stands out right away with a decorated gold cover and an oversized embossed letter M. That M, and various uses of the word “more,” are repeated throughout the book. More examples of the book overflowing include a beautiful trifold on the front endsheet and an astounding 453 unique student quotes on the portrait pages.

  • 2015 DecamhianDel Campo High SchoolFair Oaks, California

    Theme: "It might be"
    Adviser: Jim Jordan
    Editors: Myranda Dean, Ashlee Heuston, Naomi Kisel
    Walsworth representative: Kelly Parsons

    The 2015 Decamhian asks its readers to consider all the memorable moments and events that happen over the course of a school year, which gives them a chance to “discover what matters, find your niche, and invent yourself.” As the opening copy reminds them, “It might be here. It might be now.” The Decamhian’s traditional sections are each represented by a color. The theme phrase, “It might be” and graphic theme element of five color bars first appear on the cover, along with an angled vertical line. Each of those elements is found throughout the book, both on divider pages and content spreads.

  • 2015 WingsArrowhead Christian AcademyRedlands, California

    Theme: "Once"
    Adviser: Crystal Kazmierski
    Editors: Kristen DeVore, Jenna Rolf
    Walsworth representative: Shaunna Taylor

    Brainstorming for a theme can lead in all sorts of directions and the best ideas can start the simplest of ways. As the editors of the 2015 Wings explained in their colophon, Arrowhead staffer Cassidy Brown jokingly threw out the idea “Once Upon a Time.” But the word “Once” stuck in everyone’s head as a theme, as a way to tell “the same old stories in ways that could only be told this year.” Telling stories unique to their school year, and doing it with eye-catching, trendy spread designs, is something the Arrowhead staff always does well. The 2015 edition of Wings is no exception. Beautiful photos and unusual headline placements help make the book’s unique coverage stand out.

  • 2015 El DiabloHinsdale Central High SchoolHinsdale, Illinois

    Theme: “True Story*”
    Advisers: Erin Palmer, Hasham Bhatti
    Editors: Julia Donnelly, Suraj Marwaha
    Walsworth representative: Mary Slater

    The Hinsdale Central staff brought an ambitious goal to the year when they began developing a theme for the 2015 El Diablo. They wanted to create a book that really did cover all 2,808 students at their school, “revealing our passions, quirks and idiosyncrasies.” As the editors explained in the book’s colophon, the staff became backpack journalists and filled the book with coverage. Nearly every spread in the book contains sidebars and quotes from multiple students. The theme’s unifying element – the asterisk – appears with the theme phrase, “True Story*” on the cover against silhouettes of multiple students. The asterisk is found throughout the book, representing the real, true stories that were uncovered all around Hinsdale Central.

    Theme: “Up in the air.”
    Adviser: Susan Massy
    Editors: Savannah Kelly, Kaleigh Schreiber
    Walsworth representative: John Kelley

    High school can feel like a very tumultuous time for many teens. The 2015 Lair staff encapsulated that wonderfully with the theme “Up in the air.” The compelling opening copy tells the reader, “Sometimes high school didn’t make sense…. It was important, it was scary, it was more responsibility than we wanted. This year, like every year, had moments that felt risky, but this year felt more uncertain than usual.” The theme phrase appears in a Ryman Eco font on the white linen cover, along with a montage of fascinating images from the year. Bold, dominant photos, with headlines in the theme font highlight each of the division spreads.

  • 2015 Wah’ Kon-TahWestlake High SchoolWestlake Village, California

    Theme: "Our 15"
    Adviser: Joanna Burns
    Editor: Gabrielle Thuillier
    Walsworth representative: Michelle DiSimone - CJE

    One look at the cover of the 2015 Wah’ Kon-Tah makes it very apparent that the yearbook staff from Westlake High School was enchanted and inspired by the number “15.” For their theme “Our 15” the Wah’ Kon-Tah staff quotes famous pop artist Andy Warhol on the opening pages, “In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes” and then declaring “These are our 15.” The Warhol influence begins on the four-color cover, where a portrait of a Westlake student appears in the same style as Warhol’s famous works. The bright colors, pop art style and numbers representing interesting facts from the year are all repeated on the divider spreads.

    Theme: “What Are You Look’n At?”
    Adviser: Brad Cook
    Editor: Cassidy Richardson
    Walsworth representative: Matt Holmes

    The technology savvy yearbook staff at Gresham High School posed an interesting question to their readers on the opening pages of the 2015 Munhintou. Whether it’s “looking mindlessly at your phone” or “reading the instruction sheet” in class, they asked, “Have you even considered that by looking at this that you might be missing that?” Hence the idea behind the theme “What Are You Look’n At?” The catchy, distinctive theme phrase appears inside a large thought bubble with a bright orange question mark on the cover. The theme phrase is repeated on each of the book’s division spreads. The thought bubble is also repeated on numerous spreads, and often appears in color within headlines, with reversed type.

    Theme: "Caught Red Handed"
    Adviser: Laurie Haffelfinger
    Editor: KayKay Thomas
    Walsworth representative: Alex McCauley

    The staff of the 2015 Catamount created a striking theme, both visually and verbally. “Caught Red Handed” jumps out to readers immediately with a quarterbound Plexiglas cover that displays an eye-catching red hand print behind it. That red hand print is carried on throughout the book and stands out, along with portions of headlines appearing in bright red text in the font Early Bird. The narrative of the year at Crosby sounds fascinating, thanks to the opening copy, “Our lazy habits are kicked to the curb and, as we become conscious of the eyes upon us, we work to perform our best even on the days we feel the worst.”

  • 2015 Brookfield Central LegendBrookfield Central High SchoolBrookfield, Wisconsin

    Theme: "Focus"
    Adviser: Thomas Juran
    Editors: Corinne Fales, Emma Kumer, Chris Mueller
    Walsworth representative: Shelley Mosley

    When the Brookfield Central editors set out to find a theme for the 2015 Legend early in the summer of 2014, they had to overcome some distance. As they wrote in the book’s colophon, summer travel plans meant the book’s theme of “Focus” and main design element of graphic hexagons were thought up over Skype calls between France and the U.S. The hexagon first appears in a laser cut on the cover, and is repeated throughout the book, most notably in the folio, on divider pages and in numerous sidebars. On the opening pages, the intro copy explained the theme of “Focus” by telling the reader all about the memories captured in the book: “every crowd-roaring, bleacher-bouncing football game; every grade-boasting, drum-rolling assembly” and how “the real focus isn’t ever what we’re looking for – it’s what we found along the way.”

    Walsworth representative: Jared Wojtas

    Using umbrella coverage, the 2015 Westfield yearbook staff showed how everything that goes on at their school is “in the mix.” The theme starts on the cover, not just with the theme words but with a list of events from the year. The actual theme words are in bold neon pink as are the theme’s graphic touches, including circles around words, slash marks, underlines and added words. The umbrella coverage puts different topics with similar ties on the same spread, lending itself to the theme. The font and color choices round out the fun look.

    Walsworth representative: John Gearhart

    A group of tigers is called a “streak,” and using that as the theme word, the 2015 Trail staff showed how the Norman High Tigers came together during the year to learn, play, dance, fight for causes, mourn and have fun. The bright colors of the streak on the cover are brought inside and used under headlines, in graphics and as background splashes. Division pages with full-bleed photos and quotes from students give way to vibrant pages, especially the infographics. The use of UV coating on certain pages and photos made the work of this staff really stand out.

    Editors: Chelsea Candelora, Rylea Candelora, Meredith McNulty
    Walsworth representatives: Missy Green, Adam Livesay, Tracy de la Feuilliez

    The 2015 Stampede staff focuses on the year with the theme “Zero in” using traditional organization. As noted in the colophon, they wanted readers to see the little things that may not catch their attention at first but are worth looking at. To do this, they use lines, first seen on the cover, to lead readers’ eyes to what they want you see. The lines are used in different widths and colors throughout the book. Different colors on the folios help readers navigate the book. The theme lends itself to reporting stories in depth, as reporters had to dig for details to focus on when writing. Clean lines, neat fonts, touches of color on spreads with white backgrounds help readers zero in on what they want to remember this year.

    Theme: "It is what it is"
    Adviser: Emily Arnold - CJE
    Editors: Giovanna Villalpando, Sarah Robinson
    Walsworth representative: Lisa Llewellyn - CJE

    This yearbook is a true reflection of the 2015 school year at Haltom High School, and “it is what it is.” The clean look of this chronological book comes from the use of thin lines set at angles to each other. Those lines are used on every page as a design element and in captions, folios and infographics, tying the book together. The soft color palette contains gray, green, blue, orange and red, but the presence throughout of orange, a school color, lets the reader know this book is about Haltom High. Focusing on the words “it” and “is,” headlines and stories reflect the theme throughout the book, such as beginning headlines with the two words (without a contraction) and the “It is my story” sidebars in the people section.

    Theme: "Human"
    Adviser: Jai Tanner
    Editors: Haewon Ma, Adrian Broaddus
    Walsworth representative: Lori Garcia

    The photo-filled front and back cover of the Pride yearbook contains a quote from a student, which states, in part: “Every single human on this Earth has a different life to live and stories to experience.” So the staff took 384 pages using traditional organization to tell the story of about 3,000 humans at Franklin High School in 2015. The horizontal layout gives the reader the feel of the enormity of the project. Like the cover, the division pages are filled with photos on a black background, however, here the photos are accompanied by long quotes, providing mini-stories of the students. This twist on the Humans of New York blog enabled the Pride staff to fill their yearbook with stories and photos of many students, made cohesive using black and white with color bars tying the pages together.

    Theme: "Adapt Adjust Evolve"
    Adviser: Tiffany Kopcak
    Editors: Nick Ponce, Emily Barnes, Allie Benoit, David Nguyen, Jessica O’Brien
    Walsworth representative: Brian Flamm

    In the colophon, the Apollo editors wrote that they “searched for words to describe the indescribable: how you arrive as a child and leave an adult, how your plans for the day can alter in an instance, how obstacles don’t just challenge you. They change you.” And the theme words they came up with were “Adapt Adjust Evolve.” The prism look, using variations of the school colors blue and green, evokes how life can look different depending on which side you’re looking through. The prism is also used as a background in different forms, along with a right edge that contains the folio. The table of contents on the endsheets continues the approach, with titles such as “Discover,” “Affect,” “Learn,” Prepare” and “Play.” Filled with powerful stories, this book does a great job of showing how students at Colonial Forge adapted, adjusted and evolved.

      In the colophon, the Apollo editors wrote that they “searched for words to describe the indescribable: how you arrive as a child and leave an adult, how your plans for the day can alter in an instance, how obstacles don’t just challenge you. They change you.” And the theme words they came up with were “Adapt Adjust Evolve.” The prism look, using variations of the school colors blue and green, evokes how life can look different depending on which side you’re looking through. The prism is also used as a background in different forms, along with a right edge that contains the folio. The table of contents on the endsheets continues the approach, with titles such as “Discover,” “Affect,” “Learn,” Prepare” and “Play.” Filled with powerful stories, this book does a great job of showing how students at Colonial Forge adapted, adjusted and evolved.

  • 2015 Boone LegendBoone High SchoolOrlando, Florida

    Theme: "That Boone Moment"
    Adviser: Renee Burke - MJE
    Editors: Morgan Rowland, Matthew Casler
    Walsworth representatives: Missy Green, Adam Livesay, Tracy de la Feuilliez

    The Legend staff incorporated the 2015 theme “that One Moment” into “that BOONE MOMENT,” connecting memorable personal and school moments of the 2014-2015 school year in chronological order by month. The theme graphics include a horizontal bar with the colors steel, navy, red, brown and pale blue and the stacking of three images in a vertical bar. The colors established a cool palette for headlines and graphics, accents and folios. While the page numbers appeared in the upper left, the lower right was used for three horizontal photos of a student with a quote about one special moment during the year. Through the use of color, copy and great photos, the staff showed all the moments that made the 2015 school year special.

  • 2015 HoofbeatsBurges High SchoolEl Paso, Texas

    Theme: "This and That"
    Adviser: Patricia Monroe
    Editor: Jordan Steyer
    Walsworth representative: Lori Garcia

    Students face choices daily. The 2015 Hoofbeats staff highlights them using the theme “This and That.” The ribbon theme graphics start on the cover, embossed with the theme words. The ribbons create photo and copy areas on the pages and also sometimes contain copy and photos. The ribbons are intertwined, representing how students’ lives and their decisions are linked. The theme copy starts on the endsheets with the description of the sections, such as “Energy drinks or coffee, joggers and moccasins, friends and family…” for the student life section. The book begins on the opening spread with, “This is where it starts,” and ends on the closing page with “That is what happened.” In between are the photos and stories that explain it all, showing the results of a year of “This and That.”
