<p>Any reason to purchase this publication? Is it useful for 1st years to have or is it just a momento?</p>
<p>I still have mine from 30-ish years ago (nicknamed “The Pic Book” back then) and have looked at it many times over the years, and used it a lot as a freshman. I don’t know how often my daughter, a rising junior, has looked at hers but she has Facebook so that may make a difference these days. There is a Commodore Yearbook that my daughter has gotten but I was surprised at how few students have their “formal” picture taken and are included in the Yearbook.</p>
<p>The Commodore yearbook used to be part of the activities fee and free to all, but S’s freshman year of 02-03 was the last time this was the case. Now many students just buy a copy their senior year. I think there’s a tendency to ignore the picture sittings if you aren’t purchasing a copy. Both kids enjoyed and saved the freshman picture book.</p>
<p>Sounds like I’ll spend the $20. I can see how it could help if you just can’t quite remember a name.</p>
