Students at Whitman College trying to bring back yearbook

Written by Evan Blackwell, CJE

A group of ambitious students at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Wash., are working hard this year to bring back the school’s yearbook.

The original yearbook, the Waiilatpu, ceased production back in the 1990s due to a misuse of funds. Now some students want it back, according to an article in the school’s newspaper.

One of the yearbook projects organizers, student Gary Wang, said Whitman’s smaller, close-knit school community is ideal for making a yearbook work.

“I think it would be great if Whitman had one because it is a small campus and it would be a lot more personal,” Wang told The Pioneer newspaper.
