Last year’s yearbook, The Jabberwokk, has already been praised with many different awards at the Georgia Scholastic Press Association, including the All-Georgia “Best in State” award, but to be a CSPA crown finalist is on a whole different level. Being nominated for a CSPA crown means you have one of the best yearbooks in the country.

Many people who worked on the Jabberwokk are pleased with the result.

“I was really excited when the 2016 Jabberwokk got nominated for a CSPA crown, especially because it was right after we had won the best yearbook in Georgia,”  Abigail Smith said.

Smith had an important job in making the Jabberwokk by being the copy editor.

“Last year, I was the copy editor of the yearbook so that entailed writing lots of stories and captions as well as checking the other captions and stories,” Smith said.

Many staff members of the Jabberwokk were anxious to see if they had won.

“It was so exciting and privilege to win a crown.I was so nervous waiting to hear if we won. I was watching the twitter feed during AP psychology to see if we won,” staff member Kate Flory said.

The reactions of students who put their time and effort into the yearbook were ecstatic.

“I feel that it’s all worth it. We put a lot effort into this book last year, and each spread is crafted by our staff, word by word,” said Jabberwokk staffer Sam Ding.

Everyone felt they reaped the rewards of their hard work.

“In the end all the hard work deserves to be recognized,” Ding said.

Some people had an interesting experience when they found out they got nominated.

“I was in biology class when I heard that we got the crown and I was really happy. I am glad that Mr. Titus didn’t get angry at Sam and me talking about it,” last year’s photography editor Katherine Gu said.

It seems that they felt that they got out what they put in for last year’s Jabberwokk.

“I felt like all the work we had put in last year was deserved,” Gu said.
