It’s about time – really.

The yearbook will arrive Thursday, May 17. This year’s theme, “It’s about Time,” was chosen because this is the first year to have seniors.

“Since this is our first group of seniors, we had to make it as perfect as possible,” sophomore yearbook staffer Julia Small said. “I think Rouse will like it. Hopefully, they understand that it is a student publication and that it’s near to impossible to make it 100 percent perfect, but we tried. I love it.”

Yearbooks are $62 through May 16 and can still be purchased by ordering online at www.balfour.com or by picking up an order form in the Commons, front office or outside 6203. All orders must be received by May 16 to receive the $62 price. Yearbooks go up to $68 starting on May 17.

Students can also add on a number of extras:  autograph pages for $2, a plastic cover for $3 and the end-of-year magazine for $5. The 12-page magazine includes events that happened after spring break that were too late for the yearbook, including One-Act Play, the Royals’ spring show, track district and prom.

“The staffers thought it was really important to get in those late events and the magazine is a great way to do it,” adviser Kel Lemons said. “It’s also one last chance for us to get more students in the books and that’s always one of our top goals.”

Students should come to 6203 to pick up their books on May 17. They will need to show their ID and sign for their book.
