Sophomore  Devante Moley opened his front door on May 19 th 2008 to find  a brown package containing his 2007-2008 yearbook. He was one out of  the thirty students at Annandale High School to get his yearbook early.  
The Walsworth publishing corporation, who have published the AHS yearbooks  for 8 years, mistakenly passed out fliers that proclaimed a sale that  allowed the students who received the fliers to pay ten dollars less  then the $75 you have to pay now.
The sale was nothing but an error  on the company’s behalf, caused by a lack of communication for which  they have apologized.
Ms. Holmes, the yearbook director, said she was “disappointed that  some people got the yearbooks early”, and she asked  that the “people  who had already received yearbooks not to bring them to school to show  them off”.
Yearbook staff member Katie Janssen was disappointed as  well, because those who received their yearbooks early obtained it before  the staff members did. She had been looking forward to getting her yearbook  early, just as all staff members do every year.
May  30th remained the distribution day of yearbooks for all students.  Seniors were the first to report to Claussen Hall during R1, followed  by the juniors and underclassmen.   
Janssen said that she “can’t wait until  May 30th, as it will the best day ever”.  This is the day when  all of the hard work of all of the staff members will finally be realized.
Janssen also exclaimed, “I love this year’s yearbook because it is different  from other years. She also disclosed that the yearbook has a “small  surprise.”
The best part about this book is that it has triple the  amount of pictures that it did last year and it has a very artsy feel  to it.
Ms. Homes believed that people would be surprised with the presentation  of the information.
Moley  commented the difference from the yearbooks of past years to the book produced  for the class of 2007-2008 is that it contains a lot more information  and as a result is a lot bigger. However, he felt that the layout was  a bit too basic, and that the different school programs were not given  equal representation throughout the book.
