Yearbook hijinks are not uncommon in high schools. The pictured logo on a T-shirt, the hidden emblem, the hand signals and such, all make up the lower echelons of humor there.
But now one school in New Hampshire is forced into apologizing for its yearbook that was printed with students’ faces that were edited onto “inappropriate images.”
Those actual image are being kept concealed.
But the school said the “inappropriate images” were of “ancient statues,” which of course often were carved by their artists nude.
It is officials at High Mowing School in Wilton who have written to parents trying to fix the situation where “edited yearbook pictures saw students’ faces laid over apparently inappropriate pictures of men and women, in addition to the statues,” according to a Daily Mail report.

Plans now are for the pages to be removed, or the entire book reprinted.
An online commenter said, “Never thought to themselves, ‘huh these look a bit risqué for a high school year book, maybe I should check with the school?’? Hopefully it wasn’t too terrible for those who were photoshoppped [sic].”
Katherine Meyer, the school’s chief, said, “We are undertaking a full review of how these pages materialized and the approval of the processes that were in place at the time.”
And she said, “We will use what we learn to update our policies and procedures around content development, formatting and approvals to ensure we have the necessary and appropriate checks in place to prevent something like this from happening again.”
The fate of the original yearbooks is uncertain.
But commenters weren’t done.
“How does this happen at a school?”
And, “So either admin didn’t actually look at the pages submitted for approval or after the admin approval, but before it was handed over to the print shop someone added those pages.”
The Mail report explained, “The New Hampshire institution is a Waldorf school, meaning that a focus is placed on experiential learning connected to the child’s ‘social and emotional well–being.’”
Police have not commented on any reports they got, but one person even congratulated the perpetrators: “Kids that organize these pranks and sabotage the yearbook with tasteless humor and hidden jokes are a long standing and time honored tradition in our culture. … Way to stick it to the man!”
