Each Pacemaker finalist was awarded five points and each Pacemaker earned 10 points. The Pacemaker 100 represents a one-time snapshot of the top 100 publications recognized in the competition during its history. “The Pacemaker really represents the best of the best and it is appropriate that we recognize the rich tradition this award has in scholastic journalism as part of our centennial celebration,” NSPA associate director Gary Lundgren said. They honor the very best scholastic broadcasts, literary arts magazines, newspapers/newsmagazines, online publications, specialty magazines and yearbooks. So much has changed, and yet certain things remain the same: best friends are always there to help you through hard times, teachers are always there to guide and mentor you, the sun always comes out in the spring, and yearbooks are always in existence to make sure you won't ever truly lose track of your past.National Scholastic Press Association - home of the prestigious Pacemaker awards - proudly recognizes its top 100 publications as it launches its centennial celebration.įounded in 1921, NSPA has trained and honored student journalists through conventions, workshops and awards.įirst presented in 1927 as the Pace-Maker, the Pacemaker awards are now recognized as the top prizes in scholastic journalism. What clubs did your Grandfather participate in? Did your Grandmother wear a school uniform? Do you look just like how your parents looked at that age? You can get a real sense of what life was like at school in another decade. It's not just your own school yearbook that's worth browsing through - since we have yearbooks that are over one hundred years old, you might find photos of your relatives. In the age of social media, it's easy to forget how satisfying it is to flip through actual pages. That's why purchasing one from our archives is a great gift for somebody who is feeling nostalgic but no longer has access to their yearbook or doesn't have a lot of photos of themselves in general. However, it's easy to lose track of your yearbook over the years.

Do you remember what your schoolmates called you in the class superlatives? What about that football game where your school finally beat your rivals? Or the costume your high school crush wore during spirit week? Skimming through a yearbook helps you reminisce on the past.
