Although the North Texas Normal College opened in 1890, the first yearbook was not published until 1905 and was called The Cottontail. The next year the yearbook name was changed to The Yucca through a school wide vote. Yucca is for a cactus that is indigenous to Texas. The tradition of The Yucca lasted until 1974. The University had a small "Senior’s Yearbook" called Wings that was published in 1977, 1979, and 1980. The current name, Aerie, was chosen in 1982. We celebrate our 26th anniversary in 2008.
