This is the fourth and final year of my Dunman High School yearbook scans, the year that my cohort, my friends whom I studied with in 1997-1998 before leaving the country, actually graduated from the school, moving on to the Pre-U stage of their studies (Grade 11/12). I was two years removed by the time this came out, so I never got this yearbook or even saw the pictures in it until I got in touch with my friends again in 2021 and one of them sent me her yearbooks to keep and scan. As such, it’s particularly precious to me.

There’s also a significantly higher number/proportion of colour pages in this yearbook compared to the previous three ones, reflecting the advent of technology around the turn of the century, I guess. Or at least the price of coloured printing! The 1997 Yearbook was 172 pages long, while the 1998-2000 editions were all 168 pages long. But while the 1997 yearbook only had 13 pages with any sort of colour photos (4 of them with just one tiny colour photo), the 1998 yearbook had 8 colour pages, and the 1999 yearbook had 13 colour pages, this 2000 yearbook has a whopping 101 pages or so (though a few of them are just a single photo or a coloured background). Unfortunately, all the class photos were still in black and white this year, which is a huge pity, but basically everything else had coloured photos.

The scan quality isn’t as great for this one (lots of shadows) because of how the book was bound together. I didn’t want to break the book spine open either since I only have one copy of this book.
