1. The title of my yearbook was "Lucky Bag".
2. The school that the yearbook was from was  United States Naval Academy
3. Some thematic elements that I noticed throughout the book were the same colors, a line across all the pages in the same spot, same fonts for both the titles and text and same format of the spread.
4. There were 10 sections in my book.
5. My favorite spread was the "masqueraders Present, The Belle's Stratagem" because it stood since it was acting at a Naval school and all the photos contained lots of emotion.
6. Yes, they have an index in the very back of the book.
7. Yes, there are photos of groups for clubs and organizations and such.
8. Yes, there is a Table of Contents at the beginning of the book and a more specific one at the beginning of each new section they listed in the front of the book.
9. By guessing, there are around 4,200 people by looking at the index.
