Theme Gallery

With the 2018 Sword & Shield, the Saugus staff wanted to be bold. They wanted to boast about their school, even get a little cocky, but do it in a subtle, clever way. That’s where the theme “By the Way” came from. The staff created four different versions of the cover, one for each grade level with a different student featured on each one, and the theme phrase in big, bold, stacked text. The book’s coverage is chronological and each section of the book was assigned its own color. The sections were all labeled with fun, braggy phrases on the dividers, including “Here’s the deal,” “Just saying,” and “To be honest.”
