Crusader Yearbook

The annual compendium of Xavier Ateneo. For decades, the Crusader Yearbook (CYB) has been in the service of Xavier Ateneo.

As the University's official annual, it acknowledges every graduating class. Moreover, it is a collaborative effort done by a small group of college students working together in the four corners of StC 303, composed of an Editorial Board and a set of creatives and officers. At its best, the yearbook is a collection—of graduate and creative shots that give a dreamer a face, of write-ups resonating

aspirations, gratitudes, and everything in between. It also features offices within the campus and recognized organizations, as well as photos that encapsulate the events during an academic year. Graduating students can grab a copy by subscribing to the CYB office which, in turn, can be done through the subscription period. A subscription period is an event held on every start of the second semester that gives seniors the opportunity to be part of the hardback memento. Its theme varies every year, depending on what suits the class; nevertheless, it pursues a time of nostalgia and vigor that both highlight the Atenean college experience. Aside from an individual copy of the yearbook, when one subscribes, they are entitled as well to a photo package.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗦 𝗛𝗔𝗩𝗘 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗨𝗡𝗙𝗢𝗟𝗗 🃏✨

With the first reveal comes a story in motion. Memories are waiting to be lived, and bonds are waiting to be strengthened. The opening day of the 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗽 marks the beginning of a journey where every card uncovers a new chapter filled with adventure.

These moments will not remain fleeting, but would rather find their place in pages that last. Every triumph and spark of joy will be captured and remembered… worth etching in print.
