Alliance High School’s annual class is a very big help with the school and even the community. There are only a few kids in this class because they either got put in the class or just like it in general. Not many people know what annual is and if they do, they think it’s just it’s taking photos and making the yearbook. Short story, it is, but you also sell ads and even make friends along the way!
It is important for the school to have a class like this because it is a way for students to interact with each other. It also is a way to get more people involved with sports or other school events. The annual yearbook blub takes photos of AHS sports teams, school dances, clubs, and much more! With sports and all the things annual is involved in, it can create and amazing bond with the students. I interviewed Kathy Brock, the yearbook teacher, and Alivia Shipp, a fellow student in the yearbook.
These are some words from Alivia Shipp, ”This is my first in annual, I really like it because it’s really run to take pictures and use the cameras. If you ask me, I think the year book does get you more involved with the school. If you aren’t already in sports or extracurricular activities, the year book would be great for you! It can be a little nerve wracking at times with taking pictures, especially since it’s my first year. You also get to use your creativity while making pages for the yearbook, and go to games/events that maybe you didn’t care to go to before. The only thing that I would change about the annual is when you are new to the class, a classmate could help you with taking photos for the first couple of times.”
Here is Kathy Brock’s point of view on annual/yearbook,”This is my 11th year teaching annual as a class. I love being a teacher and I wouldn’t
change anything about it! Annual does a lot for the school. They create the yearbook so essential, they are recording memories that will last a lifetime. I know there are a lot of students that like having their picture taken for the yearbook. I like when I get to see students open the yearbook for the first time and they start giggling at the photos. Unfortunately, ten students in my class for the yearbook is almost too much, so this year we won’t be needing anymore kids, but next year we will need more kids to join. I’m hoping I will get to see new faces in 2024.
These are all reasons why you should join annual! Annual is great experience for some of these kids. We are hoping that we can get more students to join next year. We the SPUD appreciate the annual class because they get some photos of the photos that we use and they are a great part of Alliance High School.
