What is the History of the Horned Frog Yearbook?

    The traditional yearbook is alive and thriving on the TCU campus, with an award-winning, 500-page full color book that serves as the ongoing pictorial and historical record of university life.
 
     The Horned Frog received its name even before the school mascot was dubbed "Horned Frogs," and has been in print since 1897-1898, when it was founded by
Addison Clark, Jr., who mainly produced the first editions. There was a short break from 1899 to 1904, and again in the early 70's.
 
     The yearbook has progressed with the times, and is now published digitally, with all design, photography and pre-press production taking place in the student-run Horned Frog Yearbook offices.
 
     In the fall of 2004, a yearbook DVD premiered, as a 90-minute movie style depiction of the 2004-2005 academic year. The DVD has continued, and its fifth edition will be contained in the 2008-2009 yearbook.
 
     Student participation in the yearbook program is invited, and all students, with or without previous experience, may find spots in the group. The staff boasts a healthy sense of friendship and community, and a strong work ethic, and it functions cohesively during strenuous, often stressful deadline times, as well as social events.
 
     The Horned Frog is consistently ranked among the nation's top yearbooks, and wins yearly design awards.
