Edie | 2 comments I read this book in the late 80s or early 90s. It was set at that timeframe. it was about 4 high school students who were in their senior year and none had an extracurricular activity, which was needed to graduate. Their school assigned them to work on the yearbook, which was the least popular activity at their school. One was the stereotypical pretty blonde from an upper middle class family, one was the artsy/misunderstood girl, and one was a loner guy who turned out to be from a very wealthy family. I'm pretty sure there were only 4 main characters, but I don't remember the 4th character's story. Following many 80s tropes, the students learn they have more in common than not, and they try to do away with the yearbook superlatives but it doesn't go over well with the school. It was trade paperback size, and the cover had "yearbook" photos of each of them scattered with an off-white/tan background and the tile of the book. I'm sure I had to have bought it at Walmart or a school book fair because those were really the only options where I lived.

Stephanie A. | 376 comments You're welcome! I tried a bunch of different keywords and attempts to narrow down parameters in WorldCat too, before finally getting a hit w/ "four seniors" + yearbook in an OpenLibrary text search.
