Although senior quotes in the yearbook may be humorous and witty to some, others have found some of the quotes to be offensive.

“Some of the senior quotes that were inappropriate were directed towards other students,” Laura Stanton and Emily Boyas, yearbook advisers, said. “Discussion happened between the two of us about the content and we made the decision to not include [senior quotes] because we didn’t want students to be negatively affected by them.”

Multiple quotes submitted by last year’s seniors as well as past seniors were unseemly, some even referring to controversial and disturbing issues, according to Stanton and Boyas.

“I like the idea of senior quotes, I think they can be really cool,” Paige Savarese, yearbook editor-in-chief, said. “But I don’t like it if people are going to make inappropriate jokes because that’s not cool and that’s not something you want to look back at.”

After numerous complaints about select senior quotes from last year’s yearbook, the yearbook staff decided to discontinue senior quotes with this year’s yearbook.

“The advisers have to check the senior quotes initially, so when people send in inappropriate quotes, they usually get denied and they have the opportunity to send in a new one or not have one at all,” Sydney Shadrick, yearbook editor, said. “Since some of them were inside jokes, the editors and advisers didn’t really understand them, so they didn’t know they were inappropriate.”

Since the decision was made by yearbook advisers to discontinue senior quotes, the yearbook staff members have accepted the decision.

“We discussed it,” Stanton and Boyas said, “we made the decision to take them out in order to stop any of the negativity that could happen or that was happening with senior quotes.”
