Senior pictures are pictures that are sent by seniors to be published in the yearbook. They don’t take school pictures like all the other classes. Instead, they usually have to take their own. Since the deadline to submit senior pictures is coming up, we interviewed six seniors about what they either planned on or what they did for their pictures.
