Following a district-wide server hack, the yearbook staff has found itself scrambling to acquire computers to complete the yearbook and meet their February 27 deadline. The school board will vote on renting computers on February 6.

 

If the staff miss their deadline, then the school tradition of Yearbook Day will be ruined and the school will have to pay a fee for being late with the yearbook.

 

“If the board does not approve the $500 expenditure, I am not sure what we will do. I would rather not think that way,” Stephens said.

 

If the staff misses the deadline, the yearbooks will likely not come in before the end of the year, jeopardizing the school’s tradition of Yearbook Day, where seniors sign each others’ yearbooks, eat, and play games.

 

“We have to get our yearbooks before school is out. Yearbook Day is one of the highlights of our senior year,” senior Reggie White said.

 

However, things aren’t looking good for the yearbook staff or the senior class; especially if the school board votes against renting the computers.

 

“Our yearbook representative warned us that if we didn’t make the deadline, the chances of the book arriving before summer break were slim,” yearbook editor Alexis Zavia said. “We were confident this would not be a problem. In fact, before this computer hacking problem, we were ahead of schedule.”

 

Seniors at Leaguetown High School still have their fingers crossed, and hope that they get to experience the same tradition as Leaguetown seniors have for 22 years.

 

“Yearbook day is more popular than prom,” White said.
