A scrapbook is the ideal way to preserve the memories of your highschool years. When its done correctly, its is a great thing to read though and relive some of your highpoints and lowpoints of your time in the education system.
Nonetheless, its easy to fall into a couple of traps which will turn your high school scrapbook into something less than desirable. To be sure this doesn't occur, I have put together some easy to follow guidelines:
Don't include too many negative things
We all had bad experiences in school. A few of us were trouble makers who could not avoid detention, some didn't get along well with teachers or other students and some just did not do any homework.
Whatever your case might be don't let your book become the focus of this. By all means, include it, just do not go over the top!
Don't try and cram too much into one album
Some people find they simply can't fit all their experiences into one album or that they have enough materials to fill 2 or 3 books.
Do not feel like that if you make a high school scrapbook that you cannot make another one. If there is too much material to go into one book, then split it into a second album. Maybe your early years and later years.
Not Including Photos Of Other People
Its great that you have a lot of photos of yourself in your book, but remember to include photos of other people. You aren't the only one that went your college!
Make sure that you include photos of your buddies, class friends and teachers (if you can find any).
Also, if you can, get photos of the buildings, class rooms or assembly halls - you'll be stunned when you can not remember what they looked like after only a few years.
Keep these guidelines under consideration and you're bound to make a high school scrapbook that you and your friends will adore!
