A three-week computer shut down after a recent hack is causing the yearbook class at Leaguetown High School the need to rent computers so that they can finish the yearbook. The school board is holding an emergency meeting to vote on this issue on February 6.

Before the hack happened, the yearbook class was actually assured they would finish in time, which makes the issue of getting computers even more dire.

“We were confident this would not be a problem,” junior and editor of the yearbook Alexis Zavia said. “In fact, before this computer hacking problem, we were ahead of schedule.”

This fact makes the truth about the little chance of receiving a yearbook in time even more detrimental for the school and seniors alike. Yearbook Day is a major day for seniors.

“Yearbook Day is one of the highlights of senior year,” Reggie White, a senior, said. “Yearbook Day is more popular than prom.”

However, if the yearbook class is able to rent computers-for an admittedly cheap price-, it could possibly be the 22-year-long-tradition’s saving grace.

“If the board doesn’t approve the $500 expenditure, I am not sure what we will do,” the yearbook adviser Rodney Stephens said. “I am hoping for the best and crossing my fingers.”
