One for the (year)books!
Carney's full-colour publication wins national award

By Rudy Lee

At Archbishop Carney Secondary School, students anxiously wait the day they receive their yearbooks, and we, the Yearbook Staff, toil all year to live up to these expectations. Last year, to mark Carney's first full-colour yearbook, we decided upon a kaleidoscopic theme, which meant more than just being able to experiment with infinite colours.

Special to The B.C. Catholic Rudy Lee, Sarah Droy Stubbs, Alanna Durkovich, and Joanna Strzelecki, members of the yearbook staff, hold copies of the 06-07 Archbishop Carney annual that finished in the first place category in the Canadian National Yearbook Review. Carney's yearbook was awarded 86 per cent, which placed them fifth overall in Canada.

For Carney, a kaleidoscope is somewhat of a microcosm of our school, representing the diversity of our students and staff. Carney has individuals who are part of a whole and a whole made up of individuals.

Under the direction of Mr. Kevin Street, the 20 of us who enrolled in Yearbook signed up for more than just a mere four credits towards our graduation. We executed an award-winning design while learning the trade of graphic design, photography, and journalism. Our industry and utility earned us a first-place standing by the National Yearbook Review, and we tied for fifth place overall in Canada.
