What is Valhalla? Read a bit about it in last year's story below.
Staff members of Parker’s yearbook organization were never without something to keep them occupied. With a staff almost twice the size of the previous year, the co-curricular class had been busier than ever. There were always plenty of things for students that were part of the organization to do, as everyone had their own assignments, as well as collaboration assignments that needed to be completed with the rest of the team and its sections. Although there was a large amount of work to be done, nothing made a difference in how memorable yearbook was for the team, especially for the seniors. “We’ve had a ton of things that needed to get done this year, especially since almost everyone, including our adviser, was new to yearbook, meaning we had plenty that needed to be covered. Regardless, there’s still nothing that changes my mind about how much I enjoy yearbook,” commented yearbook co-editor-in-chief sophomore Daniel Szelogowski.
The organization only had two returning members throughout the year; sophomores Hailey Anderson and Daniel Szelogowski, who both took the leading roles as editors-in-chief, as well as copy editor and photo editor respectively. “Our two editors-in-chief put in a lot of work for the book, but without the work they put in, we may not have a yearbook. With such a big class, maintaining everyone’s work requires a lot of effort that all of the staff puts in,” said new advisor Brian Hellenbrand. The class was like a family for the students, creating new friendships and partnerships that carried throughout the yearbook. Even though yearbook took a lot of work and responsibility, the major standing of the group as a whole was how memorable it made the year for everyone, including the students who purchased the book that had been worked on throughout the year by the class that worked so hard to make it outstanding for everyone. ~By Daniel Szelogowski
