Senior quotes have been a tradition in the majority of yearbooks for a long time. To take senior quotes out of the yearbook is to take away a piece of our legacy. Every student has looked forward to their senior year; the year they get to choose a quote to define them as a person; the year they get to leave a personal piece of themselves for the generations that follow within the school. Many students choose to quote people they find inspiring. On the other hand, many choose harmlessly funny quotes, showing that students are allowed to have a sense of humor. While it is understandable that profanity should be limited, it is also unjust to ban the quotes for this class, and classes to follow, because of the mistakes of those before us. Senior quotes are a form of self expression and are a way of leaving a mark on the school. To show how passionate we are about keeping this element of the yearbook, sign below.
Quotes are an essential part of what makes Senior year so worthwhile. We have gone through many years of schooling and quotes are an honor we have earned from being diligent enough to come this far. Many things in life are difficult to handle, but that is what makes them worthwhile. A willingness to keep senior quotes in the yearbook makes a World of difference to the students. We have grown up being inspired by the quotes that others have left behind, and now that it is our turn to leave a legacy, we just want the opportunity to do it. Please reconsider the position that is been taken regarding this matter. It will just go to show that James Irwin cares more about its students well-being than convenience for the school.
