(my high school just released digital versions of all their yearbooks, so it inspired me to make a series of games! these quotes/activities are all from my school’s 1956 yearbook!)
You are digitizing all of Edgebay High School’s yearbooks from their opening in 1954, to the latest yearbook in 2024. There will be a game every 10 years, so 8 games in all. This is the senior class of 1954. In the 1954 yearbook, they listed each students activities and a quote.
