School Yearbook Edited Because Of Upskirt Shot

The 2006 edition of the yearbook at Phillipsburg High School showed a bit more than school spirit, and now is a little thinner because of it.

School officials decided to remove a page out of hundreds of yearbooks because it contained a photograph that showed a student's underwear. The picture on page 224 of the yearbook showed a female student sitting on a desk during a play. Only one problem - she was wearing a skirt and her underwear could be seen in the picture.

"The picture was questionable", said school superintendent H. Gordon Pethick said. "It's the best way I can describe it".

He said a relative of the student asked for the picture to be removed. The page was being reprinted without the picture and students will receive the replacement next month.

Some students at the school were upset by the removal of the pages and said seven other drama pictures and nine pictures from a pep rally, that were on the same page and its backside, were also removed because of the editing.

"First of all, people paid for these. They belong to the students", a student said. "They are expensive. It's like them saying, 'Excuse me, can I just destroy your personal property?' I thought it was so ridiculous".
