Sunnydale Yearbook?

[johnprester.livejournal.com]

I've heard from a contact who doesn't want to be named, and although I've sometimes found him unreliable, he has pointed me toward some interesting info in the past.

He claims to have seen a copy of the Sunnydale High 1999 yearbook (copies of which, even taking the Collapse into account, are scarce) and he noted some interesting stuff about Buffy Summers. Remember that I have no verification for any of this, but it is suggestive.

First of all, there is the matter of the section where the students' mugshots are lined up in alphabetical order. Summers' picture is missing. Not only that, there is only one photo of her in the entire book.

I've seen the Hemery Middle School yearbook, and Summers is practically on every page. Cheerleader, Fashion Club, student government, she was clearly one of the popular kids. Certainly she was one of the most visible. But her presence in Sunnydale High seems to have left no evidence -- or else that evidence was removed before the book was published.

Even stranger is the one photo of her that remains in the book. It was taken at the awards ceremony at the Senior Prom. The caption reads "Buffy Summers -- Class Protector."

Assuming this is true, does anyone have a clue what it means? I got nothin'.
