Our Roots
The De Soto High School yearbook staff received many astonishing complements on the 2015 yearbook. Senior Mackenzie Smith helped last year’s editors in chiefs Julia Sanders and Taylor Hanson make the yearbook one of the best yet.
“My favorite part is seeing the final product in a book,” Smith said. “It’s easy to breeze by when I was making layouts or writing stories, but seeing it in print makes me cherish all the hard work that went into creating the yearbook, even the days that took up my summer.”
After seeing how the yearbook pages flowed together, the yearbook staff members do not regret working long days last summer.
“Since its my first year getting a high school yearbook, I’m really impressed and it was nothing I expected,” sophomore Zekkiah Hird-Murphy said. “I’m looking forward to how the 2016 yearbook will be since last year’s blew me away.”
Senior Sara Speed was very impressed with how they turned out and is excited to put her baby picture in this year.
“The front design was definitely my favorite. It was well designed and I liked the meaning of the theme,” Speed says.
Senior yearbooks mean a lot to those who will cherish their high school career and always have something to look back at.
“I am excited to pull my yearbook out in a couple years and remember everyone from De Soto and all the teachers that helped us throughout the years,” Speed said.
Yearbook is a class to create memories from high school in the form of a book for all your classmates. Smith will miss having this class and suggests for people to take it.
“I would highly suggest taking yearbook to anyone! It’s a really laid back class, but you are still able to learn the important lessons,” Smith said. “It’s a pretty small class, but we have fun.”
