This document proposes creating an online yearbook. A yearbook is a book that records and commemorates the past year of a school. It generally includes pictures of students and school organizations and covers academics, student life, sports, and other events. Yearbooks are distributed at the end of the school year so students can get signatures from classmates. The online yearbook would allow digitizing yearbooks so past school memories could be accessed online.

ONLINE YEAR BOOK

ABSTRACT

Introduction:
A yearbook, also known as an annual, is a book to
record, highlight, and commemorate the past year of a
school or a book published annually. Virtually all
American, Australian and Canadian high schools, most
colleges and many elementary and middle schools
publish yearbooks. The term may also refer to a book of
statistics or facts published annually. Elementary and
middle schools may have a designated staff member who
is in charge of putting together that school's yearbook,
with or without the help of the students. These books are
usually considerably smaller than a high school or
college yearbook.

High school yearbooks generally cover a wide variety of


topics from academics, student life, sports and other
major school events. Generally, each student is pictured
with their class and each school organization is usually
pictured. A high school yearbook staff consists of
students with one or more advisors; who also hold
another position for the school. The yearbook staff can
be chosen in a variety of ways, including volunteer-only
(its own extracurricular organization), as an academic
class, or it could be assigned to the entire senior class.
Colleges that publish yearbooks follow a similar format
to high schools[citation needed]. Some include detailed
recaps of football and basketball games. College
yearbooks are considered by the Associated Collegiate
Press (ACP) to be a form of journalism. ACP holds the
annual Pacemaker competition for college yearbooks as
well as other collegiate media outlets. Classmates.com is
planning to digitize the yearbooks.

Role in Student life:

Several pages are often used for pages chronicling


activities undertaken by students, such as trips abroad,
activity trips, sporting and other special events. These
pages often consist of photo-journals displayed with or
without captions.
Sometimes members of a yearbook write editorial and
journalistic content about life as a student, current events
(local, national and international) and other matters of
interest to the peer group.
In books having pages in both color and black and white,
the photo pages - collages and other groups of photos -
tend to be the ones which run in color; the others run in
black and white, reducing the publishing costs (and
overall purchase price) per book.

Distribution:
Often, yearbooks are distributed at the end of a school
year to allow members to obtain the books and
signatures/personal messages from classmates. In the
U.S., those that distribute at this time may publish a
supplemental insert with photographs from spring sports
and milestone events (such as prom and graduation) and
other important events. Many schools at which
yearbooks are distributed at or before the end of a school
year have a tradition of having students sign and leave
notes on each others yearbooks.

Conclusion:

High school yearbooks generally cover a wide variety of


topics from academics, student life, sports and other
major school events. Generally, each student is pictured
with their class and each school organization is usually
pictured. A high school yearbook staff consists of
students with one or more advisors; who also hold
another position for the school. The yearbook staff can
be chosen in a variety of ways, including volunteer-only
(its own extracurricular organization), as an academic
class, or it could be assigned to the entire senior class.
