- Theme: "Yours Truly"
Adviser: Susan Massy
Editors: Jordan Arnold, Kaleigh Schreiber
Walsworth representative: John Kelley
Awards: CSPA Gold Crown, NSPA PacemakerThe Northwest staff used the 2016 Lair to essentially write a letter to their school, which could be seen in everything from the theme based on a classic letter sign-off, to the headline fonts that appeared hand written. The book even begins with the greeting, “Dear Northwest,” to make the point clear. Coverage in the 398-page book looked for unique stories and angles, with student profiles being a particular highlight.
- Theme: “You Just Don’t Know Us”
Adviser: Renee Burke - MJE
Editors: Matthew Casler, Emma McClane
Walsworth representatives: Missy Green, Adam Livesay - CJE, Tracy de la Feuilliez
Awards: CSPA Gold Crown, NSPA PacemakerThe 2016 edition of the Boone Legend dug deep to tell the individual stories of its school’s students, or as the editors wrote, “go beyond our school’s identity as a whole and focus on each aspect that made us unique.” Boone is a big school, with around 3,000 students, so the Legend staff needed all their book’s 416 pages to tell their memorable story. Everything is top notch, from the headlines, photography and writing, to the way spreads made use of Q&As and other infographics to expand the coverage and allow readers to get to know Boone a little bit better.
- Theme: “In Print”
Adviser: Emily Pyeatt Arnold - CJE
Editor: Danielle Robinson
Walsworth representative: Lisa Llewellyn - CJE
Award: NSPA Pacemaker FinalistThe editors of the 2016 Buffalo were inspired by grunge typography and the power of print. As they wrote in the book’s colophon, they felt “breaking rules of design could bring the personalities and voices throughout our school to life…” So, the staff wasn’t afraid to go a little crazy. While the coverage is organized chronologically, readers found inverted images, repetitive use of text and other standout touches that made this book memorable.
- Theme: "Seek"
Adviser: Tom Nelson
Editor: Mali McGuire
Walsworth representative: Priscilla Hernandez
Awards: CSPA Gold Crown, ACP PacemakerRight from the cover, it was clear that the 2016 edition of The Tower was something special, using different slices of photos taken from the same spot overlooking the Loyola Marymount campus at different times. The custom, square-sized book opened with a series of spreads featuring full-bleed photos that introduced the different sections, each of which used a play on the theme word, “Seek.” The book’s trends and events coverage is outstanding, making life at Loyola Marymount look incredible.
- Theme: “Multitudes”
Adviser: Katie Ramirez
Editor: Maeghen Carter
Walsworth representative: Johnny Cole
Award: ACP Pacemaker“One of the greatest periods of change and contradiction in our lives occurs during college,” wrote 2016 Petit Jean editor Maeghen Carter in her letter to readers. So it was true at Harding University, and the Petit Jean reflected it beautifully. The book documented the different roles students take on during college life. Spreads in the front of the book are clean and simple, then as Carter put it progressively got “much more expressive and complicated.”
- Theme: “One Way or Another”
Adviser: Heather Keenan
Editors: Tamara Gluck, Madison Kluegel, Lauren Horner
Walsworth representatives: Missy Green, Adam Livesay - CJE, Tracy de la Feuilliez
Award: NSPA Pacemaker FinalistIt wasn’t always easy, but “one way or another” the Lyman staff stuck to it and finished their 2016 book. The result was an outstanding edition of the Greyhound, which was clearly a labor of love. In the colophon, the editors estimated the staff took more than 250,000 photos during the year and each spread of the chronological book shows it, as they’re packed with fun, visual sidebars and packages. Another nice touch is the consistent use of a thin rule line with an arrow at the end as a design element, pointing to areas of emphasis on spreads.
- Theme: “This is Your House”
Adviser: Becky Tate
Editors: Mariana Orrego, Shannon Wray
Walsworth representative: John Kelley
Awards: CSPA Silver Crown, NSPA PacemakerShawnee Mission North students can’t help but be left brimming with school pride from the 2016 Indian. From the spirited theme (“This is Your House”) to the opening copy that told readers, “it’s about leaving a mark on a place,” spread after spread is filled with stories and large, dramatic photos about what made North a special place. Embossing and a die cut on the cover simulates bricks and a window, which was perfect. Because, as the final line of copy in the book said, “This is a place we call home.”
- Theme: “movement”
Adviser: C. Dow Tate
Editors: Audrey Dickens, Becca Pfeifauf
Walsworth representative: John Kelley
Awards: CSPA Gold Crown, NSPA PacemakerWith their 2016 book, the Hauberk staff did an amazing job capturing a fast-changing year in the world and in the lives of the students at their school. The book’s theme, “movement” was the perfect vehicle to express the tumultuous nature of the year. Beautiful photography filled the 2016 Hauberk, much of it showing action and conveying that feeling of movement. Division pages of the chronological book incorporated coverage like the “monthly movement” which provided a quick look at what the hottest topics and trends were that month.
- Theme: “Things happen”
Adviser: Patricia Monroe
Editors: Jordan Steyer, Jasmine Tabler
Walsworth representative: Lori Garcia
Award: NSPA PacemakerThe 2016 edition of Hoofbeats was a 60th anniversary book, and it did a wonderful job of chronicling the school year while mixing in nostalgic tributes to Burges’ 60 years of history. The school colors of purple and gold are used prominently on the cover and theme pages. Numerous spreads intermingle present day coverage with images and notes from the past, which provided a fun comparison. The theme, “Things happen,” tied together nicely on the front and back endsheets with the words “things happened.”
- Theme: “You Know”
Adviser: Susan McNulty
Editor: Alexa Rosenberg
Walsworth representatives: Missy Green, Adam Livesay - CJE, Tracy de la Feuilliez
Award: NSPA PacemakerNobody knows a school community as well, or as intimately, as its own students. Using the theme, “You Know,” the J.W. Mitchell staff showed that with the 2016 Stampede. “We communicated the things our students and community know to be Mitchell,” wrote the editors in the book’s colophon. Those little things students knew about Mitchell started right on the cover in the ribbons of text at the top and bottom. Vertical and horizontal lines were a consistent design element, used to draw attention to notes about the school year.
- Theme: “that feeling you get”
Adviser: Paul Fantaski
Editors: Emily Knell, Jayne Hohman
Walsworth representative: Cheryl Franzmann - CJE
Award: CSPA Silver CrownThe theme of this book allowed the Campus staff to explore the normal feelings of every high school student, such as nerves before a test. But it also let them discover how students felt about the big moments of their lives. The theme begins on the cover, not only with the words, but the embossing that encourages touching. A nice coverage touch was the student quote and picture of students’ proudest moments in each right-page folio. Quote and photo sidebars on each spreads’ topic also let students share their feelings. The staff did a great job of not only finding the stories, but discovering what students thought and felt.
- Theme: “It’s not that complicated… but it’s a little confusing”
Adviser: Allie Staub
Editor: Benjamin Rascon Gracia
Walsworth representative: Jared Wojtas
Awards: CSPA Gold Crown, NSPA Pacemaker FinalistWhen your school goes through major changes, such as a new start time, classes in different rooms in the building, new classes and a new lunch period, it can be hectic and scary at first for middle school students. The theme words fit the year perfectly, because the staff knew students would get used to the changes, but it was confusing at first. The staff kept the cover and page design simple, filling the book with coverage of the changes and many student stories. With lots of quotes, Westfield Middle students will remember the year by reading their stories in their own words.
- Theme: “Changing Perspectives”
Adviser: Tom Juran
Editors: Emma Kumer, Sean Linnihan
Walsworth representative: Shelley Mosley
Award: NSPA PacemakerThe staff of the Legend wanted students to see the year from a variety of angles. This yearbook is filled with quotes from students, allowing coverage to be seen from a multitude of angles and giving readers the opportunity to change their perspective on what they experienced. Staying student-focused in their chronological coverage provided numerous stories from the 1,331 students at the school. While spreads are packed with photos, copy and graphics, the muted color palette and choice of fonts make it easy to take in every photo and bit of information.
- Theme: “Embrace the Legacy”
Adviser: Brad Cook
Editor: Avey Gradwahl
Walsworth representative: Matt Holmes
Awards: CSPA Silver Crown, NSPA Pacemaker FinalistWith the 2016 Munhinotu, the Gresham staff took on the challenge of creating a 100th anniversary book. The endsheets, theme pages and various spreads included historical images and timelines about the school’s past. The nostalgic, throwback feel was carried throughout the book by a slight tint, or sepia tone effect, on the photos. Along with the history lesson, the book is packed with extensive coverage of the current year, such as the dance team winning a third straight state title and an expensive track project being completed at the school stadium.
- Theme: “wait, what?”
Adviser: Crystal Kazmierski
Editors: Cassidy Brown, Michalah Bell, Sean Jackson
Walsworth representative: Valen Rocha
Awards: CSPA Gold Crown, NSPA PacemakerThe 2016 Wings staff got a chance to document a tumultuous school year at Arrowhead with new policies and new administrators, among other noteworthy events. The design, which used paint splatters and a mixture of script and calligraphy fonts in headlines, added to the feeling of tumult. Coverage was elite and varied, from spreads on the San Bernardino terror attack, which took place near school, to the latest fashion trends.
- Theme: "In the Red"
Adviser: Tod Traughber
Editors: Melissa Cowan, Valerie LaFerney
Walsworth representative: Johnny Cole
Award: CSPA Silver CrownSchool pride and faith are serious business at Harding Academy, a private K-12 Christian school with a total enrollment of only around 700 students. The school color red can be found all over the 2016 Wildcat – photos, design elements, even in the theme, which involved a play on words for how indebted the students felt to the Harding community. The book’s traditional coverage also focused on togetherness and unique spins on annual events.
- Theme: "Simply Human"
Adviser: Tiffany Kopcak - M.Ed.
Editors: Emily Bartenfelder, Kennedy Buechner, Emily Gingerich, Jeremy Hayward
Walsworth representative: Brian Flamm
Awards: CSPA Silver Crown, NSPA PacemakerInspired by the journalistic voice of popular blog and best-selling book Humans of New York, the 2016 Apollo staff showed the diversity of Colonial Forge and allowed their school community to tell their own stories. The staff was divided into six teams, each with their own section of the book to work on “from start to finish,” as the editors wrote in the colophon. Spreads are striking with beautiful photography, big, bold headlines and numerous pull quotes and other mods that highlight individual stories.
