‘F’ word found on Yearbook cover

An Ohio high school principal said yearbook distribution has been suspended because an obscenity was cleverly concealed in the cover artwork.

Shaker Heights High School Principal Michael Griffith wrote in a letter to students and parents that the cover of the yearbook, which featured a gathering of the school’s Red Raider mascots, also contained a farewell message featuring the F word, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reported Monday.

Griffith wrote that cosmetic surgery is being performed on the books to block out the offending phrase and offered to remove the phrase from any previously sold copies.

However, the students of the school did not seem perturbed by the farewell message — the artist, who wrote a letter of apology that was affixed to the principal’s letter, received the loudest and longest ovation at his Thursday graduation ceremony, the Plain Dealer said.
