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.
