When the word 'yearbook' is mentioned, many see it as a printed photo album of members of a class, association, committee or organization. As far as these people are concerned, it's not worth the paparazzi. How true or false is their assertion?
The first reason warranting the need for producing a yearbook, as widely believed, is to see our faces in one publication. While much attention is devoted to details by the fashion conscious, people like me who care less about our facial appearance rarely give a damn. Hence, submitting is not all about Nokia Face of Africa beauty pageant. Tufia!
The major reason is to help relive the memories of the happy times spent in school. For instance, I won't like to forget Obama's (Onyeka) facial expression when he was told he will be paying N500 burial levy or Eunice's state of mind when she was described by Mr. Ureme as being 'serologically dead'.
Talking of death, the publication will be a medium for us to honor our departed colleagues- Dozie and Mr. Iwu, who left us mourning their demise. Still on a sober note, the yearbook will open our eyes to the realities of life, the challenges ahead, and opportunities that are yet to be seen.
As the first project that is solely handled by us, our Yearbook also stands as the symbol of our collective abilities, avidity, strength, potentials, connections, resolution, and determination to achieve any dream, and overcome any obstacle.
In essence, how good members of a class are is shown by the quality of their yearbook. For the sake of posterity, it is therefore paramount that the yearbook of my class, our class, be the best because we are the best. If you share that mindset, let's do it!
