1. BUSINESS YEARBOOK, USING
THE STATESMAN’S YEARBOOK
By: Stefanie Schmidt

2. WHAT IS A YEARBOOK?
According to the Oxford English Dictionary,
“yearbook” is defined as: “A book published
annually and containing information for the year,
e.g. in connection with a society or religious
denomination; an annual.”
 This needs to be kept in mind, because most, to
many, people automatically think of a yearbook
as a book filled with pictures of people, with their
name written under their picture, which isn’t
always the case.
