In this post, we continue our dissection of the yearbook staff. You want to be nice to these people—they control the way you will be forever captured in annual amber. Irritate them, and one photo crop later, it's like you never existed...
Music/Arts Editor: This guy or girl misunderstood the position. When he/she realized that being Music/Arts Editor would not involve showcasing his/her encyclopedic knowledge of music history and uncanny ability to discover and dismiss every band you've ever liked, two years before you liked them, he/she was very put out. Nevertheless, this editor will work tirelessly to include High Fidelity-esque lists of the best songs of the year and photos of the art crowd looking "Most Unique."
Clubs Editor: This yearbook position was just the next logical step for the student who is a member of every school-sponsored extracurricular club, organization, and society. He/she spends most of his/her time trying to get members of said clubs to agree on a time to take their group photos. This is futile. There will be a "not pictured" in every photo.
Academics Editor: Thought by some to be a teacher's pet, this editor knows every teacher's first name. It comes with the territory of being Academics Editor. He/she is likely to be seen lurking around classrooms in search of extra help or college recommendation letters.
Student Life Editor: While perhaps not the most popular student in school, the Student Life Editor would like to be. He/she agonizes over which photo from the Homecoming Hayride should go in the top left corner of the collage on page 86. He/she has perfected the faux "candid" photo. He/she may get in trouble for trying to slip in too many pictures of his/her own friends.
Seniors Editor: This editor LOVES being a senior. He/she peppers conversation with phrases like "rule the school" and "senioritis." If he/she thinks you have not taken your senior quote seriously enough, he/she will ask you to reconsider, perhaps suggesting something from Dr. Seuss, John Lennon, or Ralph Waldo Emerson. He/she will also harass you for embarrassing baby pictures.
Digital Editor: On the cutting edge of yearbook technology, the Digital Editor is in charge of the CD yearbook. You can follow its progress on his/her blog, Twitter feed, and Facebook page.
