yearbook cover obscenity

yearbook cover obscenity

High school students in a posh Cleveland, Ohio suburb already know who deserves the superlative "Most likely to write the F-word in school yearbook."

Shaker Heights High School administrators discovered the hidden obscenity in an student's creative rendition of the school's "Red Raider" mascot - which was used as the cover art for the school yearbook.

"You have to turn it upside down and then it is right there," incoming senior Katie Rownd told the local television news station WJW-TV.

The schools' principal sent a letter to parents with an apology from the offending artist, who has already graduated.

"I cannot begin to explain the miserable feeling I brought upon myself when I betrayed the trust of all of you," the student wrote, according to a report in the news site Cleveland.com.

The school will out a new version of the book that conceals the profanity.
