Volunteers may also have the opportunity to apprentice with an editor and then seek one of those compensated positions the following year.  The annual yearbook, through news, feature stories and photos, highlights the events of the previous year for all students. It is available to seniors after commencement and is made available to other students through spring orders or sales in the fall.
