The remainder of the book is taken with activities, sports, honors, and more as would be expected.  This yearbook is well used.  It is soiled in places and the staples holding it together are a bit weak causing some of the center pages to be loose.  Otherwise in good condition.  For more information, contact George at softdsign@aol.com or 704-948-1912.
