The Yearbook Committee's primary purpose is to produce a 96-page book representing classes, staff, activities, and sports at SMS. Each year, yearbook students choose a theme, which is carried throughout the book in artwork, headlines and copy. They receive hands-on experience in photography, layout design, interviewing, writing copy, proofreading, and especially, in working together. The Committee also meets with the yearbook publishing company representative monthly to check deadlines.
