What can we say? If you misspell a name in the yearbook people get upset. If you give them an entirely new name, they aren’t happy about that either. But hey, at least they’re in the book right? Well, maybe there are some things we should keep in mind when it comes to names.

• Obviously we need to make sure names are spelled right – use a list from the office to compare against so you can double check the spelling.
• Correctly ID the grade level (i.e. Joan Smith (12)) and be consistent with it through the whole book.
• All captions have names, so identify people by their first and last names. Yes, we do need both!
