Samohi's yearbook - The Nautilus - is put together each year by a hardworking and dedicated staff of students. Working with English their Advisor Amy Estabrook, the staff creates a book that provides an interesting insight into life as a student at Santa Monica High School.
Serving on the yearbook staff is a valuable learning experience in the field of media, since it involves interviewing, photography, editing, layout, writing, and meeting deadlines.
All students, from Sophomore to Senior, are encouraged to join the team which consists of a staff of about 35-40 students. Yearbook meets daily during 4th Period.
The yearbook committee is a great opportunity for students to show their literary skills. The Nautilus is always a great read because the talented students who belong to this committee work hard all year to ensure great results.
During the school year orders for yearbooks are taken in Room L104 before school or during lunch. Don't forget to order your copy of The Nautilus.
