Crystal was a reporter for her school’s newspaper, The Real Story. She’d done several different kinds of stories before, but never anything like the story she was about to do. During an interview, the school nurse, Mrs. Jones, had told Crystal that the school had a secret basement. Crystal was eager to find out what was in the basement. It could be just about anything! So Crystal asked the newspaper’s advisor, Mr. Adair, if she could do a feature on the school’s basement. He agreed with her that basement might be a fascinating story, especially since a lot of people weren’t even aware that it existed.

Crystal got permission from the headmaster to go down into the basement as long as some teachers went with her. So Mr. Adair and Mrs. Jones accompanied Crystal when she went to explore the basement. The guard unlocked the basement door, and Crystal and the two teachers slowly descended the narrow staircase. When they reached the bottom of the stairs, Mrs. Jones turned on the light, and she, Mr. Adair, and Crystal began to look around.

Crystal soon discovered a large set of bookshelves with a collection of old dusty books on them. “What are those?” she wondered aloud. Neither of the two teachers knew, so Crystal made her way over to look more closely at the books. They turned out to be yearbooks from every year since the school opened. For almost an hour, Crystal, Mr. Adair, and Mrs. Jones paged slowly through the yearbooks.
