icepixieHey, my yearbook got here today!
It's quite nice. I love that it's all in color, and the binding/cover is very pretty. I'm a bit nonplussed by the large amount of attention given to sports and complete lack of anything relating to say, choir or orchestra, but probably they just had access to more/better quality pictures of the athletic teams. The editors used this picture that I took at the Activites Fair for the "Student Organizations" title page. Seeing it printed that large made me feel a bit embarrassed that I hadn't framed it quite correctly (part of Valerie's skirt is out of the picture, although to be fair, I was trying to get the fire truck in there as well, so), but other than that, I of course think it looks great. ;)
I had hoped they would use more of my campus shots, but the ones they did use are nice nonetheless. I think the small photo of the Great Hall from the balcony--or, more accurately, through that miniscule window set in the locked doors that open to the balcony--is mine. It's about the same level of out-of-focus that mine is, anyway.
I love how on the ballroom page, the Pink Dress I'm wearing can't even be accurately represented by the printer they used. Parts of it are light purple, and parts of it are almost reddish. Hahaha. But the team photo at the bottom looks very nice. And I think we had just about everybody who'd paid dues in that picture, which is great.
I have to wonder what went so wrong with the senior English majors photo that they had to use one from the Exeter program instead. (It's the one where the dog was running across in front of us and we were all cracking up, which at least is amusing. Does anyone remember where that was taken? Was it in Ireland somewhere, maybe?) Hmmm. I counted up all the names, because I'd always been curious exactly how many majors we had, and there were 91 listed. (For those who are new, I'll mention that that's out of a senior class of ~400/school of ~1600. Yay for the English department. Highly amusing, particularly compared to, say, the Physics department, which apparently had two '06 majors, if the yearbook is to be believed.)
Oh, and my headshot's in there somewhere, but I'm much more interested in pictures I took being in the book, rather than pictures of me. ;)
Aw, Kenyon. *sniff*

Oh, and I agree with everything you said, especially regarding the disproportionate representation of athletics. It was a bit of a shock, seeing a quarter of my $100 yearbook devoted to athletics, but I guess they couldn't say no to all those great photos.

Thanks! My camera would get crumbs all over itself with a cookie; I'll give it a good cleaning and a freshly-charged battery instead. ;)
