Senior Pictures

Choosing the perfect senior picture for the yearbook can be a hard decision for the graduating class. "I asked my family and friends which one they thought I should put in the yearbook." said Dana Geier, a current Sparta senior. Not only is choosing the right picture important, but so is the time and thought that goes into what you want your pose or setting in the picture to be.

The photographer you choose can also be crucial. "I got my senior pictures taken at Dammen's." said Lindsey Herr, another member of the graduating class. However, a lot of seniors got their pictures taken by family or friends.

"My older sister, Naomi took mine so I could save some money." added Geier. Nevertheless, senior pictures are still important and creates a special memory for the student later on in life.

"When you get them done it makes you feel accomplished because it's a big thing," says Geier. The majority of the senior population got their pictures taken and turned them in to the yearbook staff. Unfortunately, there will always be a few students who don't turn their pictures in.

"Not turning your picture into the yearbook means you'll get a Spartan head as your picture and that shows that you're not responsible." says Herr. As the year goes by, the junior class of 2012 also needs to start thinking about their senior pictures for the next coming year.

When asked what advice she would give to the juniors about senior pictures Geier says, "Pick where you want to get them done, if it's by a professional, family member, or friend. You should also always give your true opinion on what you think of the pictures so you can get the perfect ones you want."

"I would say to go wherever you want to go, get them done, and turn them in right away." added Herr. As the year gets further and further along, the Sparta High juniors should be taking this advice into account.

With the senior pictures turned in and the yearbooks ordered, the 2011 seniors can check that off of their to-do lists and move on to the next task at hand. Many of the graduating students are looking forward, and also feeling dread about seeing their last school picture in the yearbook.

Graduation is scheduled on May 28 at 8 pm. For the seniors this is a very important day. Their senior pictures only make their last year of high school more memorable and will represent who they were throughout high school; all the way until the class of 2011 Sparta High School seniors graduate that day in late May.
