Aminah’s Journey To Get This Year Booked

By Colton Sierra ‘14

You’re at the end of your school year and you reflect back on all of the memories that you have shared with your classmates. You think to yourself, “If only there were some type of book that captured my school year as a whole.” Fortunately, first year Multi-Media teacher Aminah Hassoun has thought about what you have thought about and has a class dedicated to creating what she would call a “memory book.” Otherwise known as the 2013-2014 Red Cloud Yearbook.

“It’s a lot of work to do each page,” said senior Carrie Beard. “With having to do interviews, gathering and editing photos, and making sure each story is correct.” Beard is an editor in the class and tells me, “It is definitely a tough job.”

As the deadline approaches at the end of March, Hassoun is working with her class to get 100 pages finished. The book will cover students, staff, academics, sports, clubs and anything else involved with Red Cloud High School while coinciding with its theme: Traditions at Red Cloud.

“I hope the yearbook is in the hands of every student and staff at Red Cloud,” said Hassoun. “It is the chronicle to this year.” When asked about the deadline nearing, she responded, “It will come together smoothly. There is still a lot to do, but there has been a lot of creativity coming from the students. It is just a matter of finishing up strong.”

When asked about the yearbook, the majority of students had not even paid the outcome of it any mind. “I didn’t even know we had a yearbook,” said senior Pedro Martinez. But regardless of students not anticipating the yearbook, it is on its way and will be here with high expectations.

At $25 a copy, you can get your very own 2013-2014 Red Cloud Yearbook in May.
