Who Needs a Yearbook When There's Facebook?

Dan Segers, also a Norwalk High yearbook adviser and English teacher, says students enjoy seeing themselves in the published book, which sells for $80 pre-order or $90 at a booth. Because of a budget surplus left from last year, this year's book is in full color. "On social networking websites, it's you or your friend putting up your picture," Segers says. "But a yearbook is different because somebody else is thinking of them. It gives students a sense of importance."

Says Nichols, "If we take the things about yearbooks that students have always loved, like excellent photography, colorful pages, and engaging stories, and make them more interactive, we will stay relevant."
