students have changed though the ages.... I remember how some of them were during the late 60s and early 70's There were some of them that were really militant against school activities I also remember how amazed my parents were at this... Myself? I enjoyed shooting photos for the yearbook! Now we look at the students... and they are of course different from our generation was.... It is a constant state of flux. Who knows, someday it may swing back to 'yearbooks are cool; but I suspect it will be in more of an electronic form. I always like to think of Kirk in the star trek movie.... He has a copy of tale of two cities... a nice leather bound book ... probably the only bound book on the ship... the rest are all reading off tablets. I remember when this movie came out I discussed this with people and they said ... naw never! well.... we are heading towards this. My generation still likes to curl up with a good book in an overstuffed armchair but.... many of our young visitors I talk to garner most of their recreational reading from the Internet.
