When I was a senior, we filled out little interviews that were supposed to be used to add some personal text to photos in our yearbook. When I got mine months later, I thought the quote printed with my photo was totally weird--not something I would say at all, and I was really embarrassed that I had written something so stupid. Come to find out, the yearbook staff lost my interview sheet, and instead of calling me up to get a quote (I was friends with half the staff, so this would not have been difficult) someone just decided to make something up. Ugh. So now underneath my photo, it says something like "I'm trying to enjoy my last few months of high school. This is our last chance to cut loose and be crazy before we have to be adults." ACK! As if!
Our yearbook got names mixed up, so you can't be sure the names are right--except when they have girls names listed for boys' pix and vice versa. Then you could be pretty sure they were wrong but not telling whose name was whose. (The names were in a column down the side of the page.) And since it was the bicentennial year, they popped Martha Washington's face into the mix, but didn't rearrange names so someone's name is listed with the face of Martha Washingon.

Wow! What the heck?!
