<p>Novelista,
Counting/tracking student candids: yeah, I think when the pages were submitted for final approval, someone updated a spreadsheet of some sort with all the kids names. Obviously, halfway through the year it’s going to become apparent if certain kids already have several photos in the yearbook and others none. At that point, the photographers have a mission. It’s really a very do-able policy; I don’t know why it is not done ALL THE TIME. Either laziness, which is inexcusable because this is a journalism class after all; or something deeper and having to do with cliques and favoritism, which is inexcusable as well.</p>
<p>PS I also think they gave more of a “picture quota” to seniors, which was kind of nice and gave the underclassmen something to look forward to.</p>
