YEARBOOK
Creating memories for all time
Seaside High’s ‘Seabreeze’
is a collaborative effort
By Katherine Lacaze
For Seaside Signal
When it comes to capturing
significant events and activities
throughout the school year and pre-
serving them through quotes and
photographs, the staff of Seaside
High School’s Seabreeze yearbook
is poised for the task.
Production of the yearbook is
managed primarily by the pro-
gram’s student editors. Senior Me-
gan McQuilliams is editor in chief
this year. Diana Tinoco serves as
photo editor; Max McNeill as copy
editor; Danielle Keen as design ed-
itor; and Anita Barbic as business
manager.
The remaining staff is comprised
of about 20 other students, who may
take yearbook one to three terms de-
pending on their other activities or
classes.
“You have to kind of keep the
class even between experienced
people and new people, just so we
don’t have such a huge learning
curve,” said Amy Rider, the teacher
adviser who is taking over the pro-
gram from Susan Baertlein this year.
The two teachers co-taught
during first term of 2016-17; Rider
will be solo for the remaining two
terms. The transition will give Baer-
tlein time to oversee the fall play next
school year, among other things.
“As teachers here you have to
take on coaching clubs, basically
whatever is out there to be done,”
Rider explained. “[Baertlein] needed
to clear her plate so she could take on
some other things, and I got tapped.”
Although the job fell into her
lap, she added, “it is a really pos-
itive thing.” She majored in En-

glish in college and has long har-
bored an interest in yearbook and
magazine editing. At larger school
districts, such as the one she previ-
ously taught in, the yearbook pro-
gram can run under the same per-
son for years.
“Here, something comes up and
you jump in with both feet and you
learn as you go,” Rider said. “I’m
totally happy to do it.”
Advising the yearbook program
allows her to work with a different
segment of the student population
than the one she has in the class-
room setting as a mathematics and
special education teacher. She also
gets to utilize a different skill set and
apply her writing expertise.
The publication process
The class meets five days per
week. Responsibilities are divided
so roughly half the class is in the
computer lab working on layouts
