Before you submit, consider the propriety of your photo and message:
- All quotes must be limited to 65 characters/spaces total. Yes, spaces between words count and need to be included.
- NO profanity. NO acronyms. NO gang-affiliated words or phrases. NO drug or alcohol references.
- NO derogatory comments about other students or staff members.
- NO shout-outs to or about other students or teachers. This rule is in place because of the potential of a quote offending the person it references. We do not have the time to check and keep records of who does and does not approve of being mentioned in another student’s quote.
- Your quote must be in standard English. (Latin is also accepted)
- NO abbreviations. NO "creative" spelling. No Emoji
- NO weblinks NO TV Show / Movie timestamps No Fundraisers
- NO questionable/inappropriate content. No sexually explicit content.
- All quotes are subject to review by administration and the yearbook staff. Failure to follow guidelines will result in the exclusion of your quote.
- If you aren’t sure whether or not your quote will pass this review or if you have a question, You may ask us a question BEFORE October 2, 2024. (Submit your questions to our Editor-in-Chief, Lesley
- Due to the volume of students questions WILL NOT be answered on October 2nd. Over 700 seniors turn in Senior quotes. Nearly all of those students wait until the very last day to turn in their quote and nearly all of those students have a question because they did not take the time to read these guidelines!!!
- Examples of quotes that will be rejected: “FRENDS4EVAWEWILLB2GETHA" “To all my G Homie Dawg Funkers in the House, Westside ‘til I die!" “I luv you alot." “Establish chaos--evil will triumph. Kill the conscience!"
- You do not need to add quotations. So many students do not include them in their 65 characters anyway. We will add them if you do not. It is not required that you cite your quote.
In short: This is going on print for the rest of all time, choose wisely. Thank you, The Drill Book Staff.
