No Senior Quotes?!?
One of MHS's yearbook editors, Lizzy Woodruff, is answering the question she has been asked many times in the last couple of week.
According to recent rumors, there will no longer be senior quotes in the MHS yearbook.
Every year, students submit a favorite quote to be printed in the yearbook, but this year, MHS won’t be including them.
“It’s completely true, there will be no senior quotes in the yearbook this year as they have been in the past,” said MHS teacher and yearbook adviser, Mrs Stanford. “It is a liability for kids who have done inappropriate quotes in the past and also a copyright issue.”
Another reason that the quotes have been cancelled is the inappropriate quotes that students turn in.
“They’re often inappropriate and thats wrong,I think there’s plenty of different measures that could be taken to fix those kind of problems,” Senior Michael Pulsipher said .
However, the yearbook staff is working on alternatives for senior quotes.
“The yearbook kids are trying to figure out something to replace it with, so they’re trying to do something – it’s not that we’re trying to be rude and diss on the seniors like ‘Haha, we’re taking everything away!” Stanford said. “We still want you to want a yearbook and buy a yearbook and be in the yearbook.”
Despite possible alternatives, seniors at MHS still feel entitled to their quotes.
“I think that being a senior, it’s something we all should be able to go through since everyone else before us was able to,” Senior Alexis Bronson said. “Everyone else has been able to senior quotes and everyone has been waiting to do senior quotes. I’ve been waiting for senior quotes since I was little.”
For now, yearbook staff is officially not going to post senior quotes in the year book, but they are open to suggestions for alternatives from MHS students.
“Come up with with a solution for us and we will definitely take [it] into consideration” Mrs. Stanford said
