The cover of this year’s yearbook from Shaker Heights High School in Ohio was drawn by a student, and included a hidden message. The book must be upside down, and even then its difficult to read, but it didn’t take long for the student body to discover the prank. Hidden in a crowd of students is the message, “F*** You All.”

The principal has issued an apology to parents, including this from the artist:

“I can’t begin to clarify the unhappy emotion I brought upon myself, when I give up the trust of you all. I express regret for offending anybody and everybody. It is unlucky that I did not identify the big duty and admiration given to me as asked to design the cover of the Shaker Heights yearbook. I present my truthful apologies.”

Plans have been made to re-release the yearbook, minus the offensive message. The student body didn’t seem to mind, giving the artist a long, loud round of applause during the graduation ceremony on Thursday.

This hasn’t been the only scandal surrounding yearbooks this year. A story broke last month about a 16-year old student at Sickles High School in Tampa Bay, Florida, who neglected to wear underwear to school on picture day because, “She didn’t want panty lines.” As a result, the pottery club photo got a lot more attention than expected. That yearbook was also recalled and will be reprinted, despite the school officals’ claims that what the photo shows is nothing but shadow.
