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- Best of Luck This Season! 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.
