Theme: Prelude Covers

Students were first admitted to Wagar in the fall of 1963, but only up to 10th grade. The first graduating class was for the 1964-65 school year. Early Prelude covers showed the name of the yearbook and the two years spanned by the graduating class. 1966 was unusual in that it named Wagar High School. 1970 featured colour artwork, but no text ("Prelude 1970" was on the spine). With work-to-rule in place for the 1973-74 year, Wagar's yearbook was created without the usual teacher support and was called "Interlude."

You might wonder who did the artwork for the yearbook covers. In the Chrome browser, if you right-click on a cover image, there is an option to "Search Google for image". Based on those searches, it looks like the 1977 cover was the first to appear on yearbooks of other schools. Most of the covers in the 1980s appear to be original, but none in the 1990s. In the 2000s, '01, '03, and '04 were Wagar originals, making 2001 the last Wagar-made Prelude cover. Starting 2002, the yearbook was called "Wagar's Odyssey".
