    1. Yearbooks will be distributed this Friday, May 17, after school--those students who get out after 8th period will be allowed to pick them up at that time; no one is allowed to miss any part of any class--even study hall--to get his or her book.
    2. Students must have their IDs and will be asked to sign for their books; no one may pick up anyone else's book under any circumstances.
    3. Yearbooks will be distributed in the Student Commons and will be distributed alphabetically.
