Yearbook 2006

Yearbook 2006 chronicles -- in a post-Katrina New Orleans -- the interrupted Senior Class of 2006 from Benjamin Franklin HIgh School.

"I kept trying to think of what every one of us here had in common during that strange time. The more I tried to think of concrete examples of what we all shared, the more I realized that what tied us all together was this: loss. We’d all lost something significant, something important to us. We were experiencing a form of death, the death of all the comfortable and manageable and carefully planned lives we thought we’d been living together, in our own community here at Franklin. We’d all been grieving, together and separately, wherever we landed, in Houston, in Lafayette, in New Orleans, for the lives we took for granted and the lives we were forced to live during those uncertain and unreal four months."
