According to Echowan Editor-in-Chief Rafferty Kugler, yearbook distribution day brings a lot of pride to her in seeing the staff’s hard work come to fruition.

“It is really cool to see our final product in the hands of students, and getting to see their reactions to our work is really cool. I am really proud of everybody for putting in so much work this year,” Kugler said.

Echowan advisor Julianne Herbert said she enjoys distribution day because the school gets to see a review of themselves and their year.

“It is just great to get (the yearbooks) in the hands of the people because that is what the yearbook is all about is the population here,” Herbert said.

The Yearbook’s theme this year is ‘Intertwined,’ which Kugler said reflects the action of students in the school over their four years.

“We used (the theme) to incorporate that our school has a bunch of people who come in and intertwine, and then everybody goes off their own ways when it is over,” Kugler said. “We thought it was a really cool way to represent our school.”

Herbert said she is very pleased with how the book turned out.

“I love the way the book looks. I love the theme, I love the color, and the photography is fantastic, and my writers have grown so much and so I am really excited about the product,” Herbert said.

Senior Austin Patterson said he enjoys the yearbook theme and the tradition surrounding receiving a yearbook.

“I really like the theme, the intertwined is cool…I probably like it better than any other yearbook so far,” Patterson said. “It is like a rite of passage almost at the end of the year.”
