The staff of the Buffalo yearbook at Haltom High School has been honored with the induction of its 2013 yearbook into Walsworth Publishing Company’s Gallery of Excellence.

Books included in the Gallery of Excellence represent a small percentage of all yearbooks published by Walsworth. A premiere showcase of the company’s top yearbooks, Walsworth’s Gallery of Excellence recognizes those books that exemplify excellence through their comprehensive coverage, innovative design and superior copy and photography.

The Buffalo yearbook, along with other Gallery of Excellence yearbooks, will be loaned to schools across the country to serve as an idea generator, and will be displayed at regional, state and national conventions and workshops. Also, excerpts from many of these yearbooks will be used for example illustrations in Walsworth’s educational and resource materials.

Walsworth bestows the Gallery honor to select yearbooks annually in recognition of a staff’s dedication to the challenging task of producing a quality publication in nine months or less. The 2013 edition of the Buffalo yearbook was produced under the direction of Emily Arnold, yearbook adviser.
