The Log (yearbook)
Log Advisor Sue Michalski oversees the publication of the school yearbook.

Parents of seniors may now create a Yearbook Ad online (see the document at the bottom of this page). All photographs and text for the ads are submitted through the yearbook company's online portal.

Formal Senior Portraits:
Option 1. Use an outside photographer: Photos should submit photos to Alizah Barker by October 1. Students should be in dress code, and photographs should be taken by a professional yearbook photographer.

Requirements for formal portraits:

  • standard yearbook head shot (no do-it-yourself, passport photos, etc.)
  • solid backgroud
  • black and white OR color
  • no “blurred” lens
  • no props or accessories in the photo (soccer balls, trees, etc.)
  • no profile shots
  • no hands/arms (head propped on folded hands etc.)

Option 2. On-campus photo: Each fall, a photographer is invited to campus so that students who have not made other arrangements may schedule a time to have a portrait taken. Students choosing this option will schedule a session in the fall. Students must sign up in person during lunch. This year, local photographer Janine Norton P’13 will be on campus on the following dates:

  • Saturdays and Sundays, September 22, 23, 29 and 30

  •  A nominal $35 sitting fee will be charged; photos will be available to purchase through Ms. Norton's website.

  •  Each senior will receive a complimentary yearbook engraved with his or her name.
