Abstract	Intended to provide information to the Iowa High School Press Association (IHSPA), this paper investigates the state of yearbook instruction and production in high schools, toward which direction the yearbooks are heading, and whether services offered to members by the IHSPA (conference sessions, the annual yearbook contest, and teaching handouts) are meeting member needs. The paper's first section examines the history of the high school yearbook in five distinct phases. The paper's second section discusses one national study, one study from Nebraska, and several small studies from Iowa, and how they add to current knowledge about high school yearbooks. The third section presents a survey of yearbook advisers investigating the current state of yearbooks in Iowa, with results reporting the attitudes and beliefs of advisers about yearbook functions, content decisions, the role of the adviser, motivating students, conferences and workshops, yearbook production strategies, financial concerns, and contest participation. Three figures, 15 tables of data, and 102 notes are included. A 128-item bibliography, and two appendixes--containing a list of the first high school yearbooks published, and two cover letters and the survey questionnaire--are included. (SR)
