Correction: Paul Ender and Nancy Hastings were named co-Yearbook Advisers of the Year in 1997, not 1996.

This episode is the second in a series of interviews with past JEA Yearbook Adviser of the Year honorees — this time, we talk with Paul Ender, formerly of the American yearbook at Independence High School (Calif.) and current Herff Jones Special Consultant. We discuss Paul's passion for design, how a terrible book kicked off his journey in the yearbook world, his program's epiphany and growth into a journalistic book, and where today's advisers can find design inspiration to use with their staffs.

Paul highlights a few books from the 2017 class, and I've collected samples from those books in a folder you can access at tinyurl.com/ybkwhysep8. Please use these resources in your own instruction with your staff, but not beyond your classroom - thanks!
