- “At Hemery I was Prom Queen, Fiesta Queen, I was on the cheerleading squad — the yearbook was, like, a story of me. Now it’s senior year and I’m going to be one crappy picture on one eighth of one crappy page.”
- ―Buffy Summers[src].
Sunnydale High Yearbook refers to the yearbooks from Sunnydale High School.
History
In 1996, Marcie Ross received only “Have a nice summer” messages on her yearbook from her colleagues, including Alexander Harris and Willow Rosenberg.[1]
In 1997, Buffy Summers used Marcie’s previous yearbook to find out about her and her plans. According to Buffy, Willow, and Xander, receiving only “Have a nice summer” messages on the yearbook was a signal of not having friends, being what one writes when there’s nothing to say.[1]
In 1998, while Buffy was waiting in Principal Snyder’s office, a 1955 yearbook falls off the shelf, as a manifestation from James Stanley and Ellen Frank’s ghosts. Buffy uses the book to identify both based on her dreams.[2]
In 1998, Sunnydale High students, including Willow, Xander, Daniel Osbourne, and Cordelia Chase, took their pictures for the yearbook, but Buffy missed it.[3]
In 1999, Willow, Harmony Kendall, and other members of the class of '99 exchanged yearbook messages before the Ascension.[4]
In 1999, Buffy used Harmony’s yearbook picture to locate her.[5]
In 2002, an amnesiac Cordelia used her own book to find out about her identity.[6]
