Last year David Spalding, PC lab technician and library support, graduated with Salve Regina University's Class of 2005. Upon graduating, Spalding took many memories along with him into that frightening place that college students have coined "the real world," but there is one thing that Spalding couldn't take away from his college experience, a yearbook.
"I was upset because I didn't get one for my year," said Spalding. "A yearbook is something that I have always wanted."
Spalding decided to turn his loss into the Class of 2006's gain by serving as advisor for a club dedicated to raising awareness about the lack of a student yearbook at the university and creating a yearbook for the class of 2006, as well as, other future graduating classes. Spalding said that he is happy to have an opportunity to make a difference at Salve.
Spalding first got involved with the yearbook project when approached by senior Bryan Belmore, a 22 year old English Communication Studies major.
Last year, when Belmore heard that there was no yearbook, he decided to initiate an effort to have one when he graduated from salve. Belmore learned that Salve stopped funding a student yearbook due to a lack of student interest in the past. After talking with a member of SGA, Belmore decided to present his idea as a potential student activity.
The senior filled out a lot of paperwork.He wrote a constitution and a letter of intent. He produced a profile of the future club and found an advisor for the effort. Belmore also prepared a list of 25 signatures of students who would be interested in having a yearbook. After all of the preliminary work, Belmore stood before a committee made up of four student government officials and four faculty members to answer questions and go over issues concerning the club.
In October the yearbook club was approved. According to Belmore, there will definitely be a yearbook for the class of 2006.
"It's [the yearbook effort] is going full speed," said Belmore.
