President’s Collection

The editors of the 2019 Hauberk took the responsibility of guiding their award-winning publication seriously. Leading the Shawnee Mission East yearbook means leaving up to quite a legacy.

But they also wanted to make sure they left their own imprint too, to create a book “with personality; something that wasn’t quite as conceptual” as other recent editions of Hauberk. They created the theme “As We Are,” in order to show the East community at its most personal, even stripping away “false perceptions of our student body.”

The bulk of the book’s coverage is divided into seven sections, each named with a descriptive word that the staff felt applied to East, such as “proud,” “driven,” “united” and “real.”
