13. Senior Book What is the Senior Book?
The senior book is a nice memento even for underclassmen — it's the closest thing the band has to a yearbook. Each senior has a full page biography page in which their answers to survey questions are listed. Questions include plans for the seniors' futures after PRHS, their favorite memories of band and of high school, and their advice to PRHS freshmen. Some of the answers are funny and some are touching; all are entertaining. Members of all classes are included in photos of each section, and in the many pages of candid photos.
Upcoming Deadlines
Every senior receives one complimentary copy of the book at Senior Night. Additional copies for seniors, families, or underclassmen may be ordered for $10 each. See website for order form. Extra book orders due Wednesday, October 3.
Last call for advertisements in the senior book. If you have an ad for your senior or an ad from a business, please contact Jill Baxter immediately, since deadline has actually passed. Artwork is needed ASAP; payment can still be sent by mail to arrive next week.
