With full force JL Mann's 2008 Talismann yearbooks were delivered to classes full of eager students, faculty, and staff. They just couldn't hold their excitement and with a loud burst of energy signed their yearbooks and cherished on memories of their past school year and years before that. This year, however, was the final Talismann for our Mann seniors. After this, there's last minute exams, graduation practice, and graduation itself. We will be moving in our own different ways. Some will go straight into the workforce, while others will continue their education in their respective colleges, universities, and technical schools. Whichever way they choose to go, this will be a Talismann seniors will cherish forever. The day started early for the seniors, somewhat, at 11 for Senior Skits and then moved on to book distribution and the like. A senior cookout was held and seniors wrote their memories of the past four years in friend's and teacher's yearbooks that were present in attendance. It will definitely be a Talismann Day they will never forget. It was also the year of Senior Domination in the yearbook. It was definitely full of seniors and respectively so from the looks of all the past editions.

Underclassmen enjoyed their day in Advisory writing comments in each other's yearbooks and watching movies such as "Singing In The Rain" and "The Lion King" to pass the time. Others played Chess and Checkers on their Promethean Boards Too. Once school was finally dismissed their was only another year ahead for most of them to make more lasting memories of their high school years.
