My favorite thing about being the social media manager for the Sunshine State Digital Network is getting to look through the content of the repository. There is a wide variety of trends, current events, and life styles preserved by the materials that are contributed to the Sunshine State Digital Network. One of my favorite collections are the yearbooks contributed by Godby High School, which includes all of their yearbooks since the year 1969. As a fan of current events and trends, I decided to look through the oldest and newest yearbooks to see how time has changed Godby High School.
One of the most noticeable changes that has happened at Godby High School is the change in hair and fashion style. Back in 1969 and 1970, teachers wore their hair high and styled. Today, the range of teacher hair styles vary more because there is a greater diversity among the teacher population and because modern hair styles have changed for women.
Another noticeable change in the year books is that current yearbooks feature more student centered articles than the early Godby yearbooks. While looking through the 2019 yearbook, I noticed many student highlight articles written for student athletes, students in clubs, and students who excel academically. These articles have added more content and length to the yearbooks. It gives a look into the year the students had and creates a type of time capsule to that specific year. Examples of these articles include highlights of the programs within the school, sports highlights, and highlights about school events.
The Godby High School yearbooks are student made and great ways of viewing into the lives of past and present high school students. They can be found in the Sunshine State Digital network repository under the Godby High School contributor link.
