Theme Gallery

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.
