 The first yearbooks contained sketches of faculty and seniors , and included recollections , anecdotes , stories , and quotes significant to the student body . Underclassmen were included for the first time with individual portraits in the growing student body in 1948 . In 2007 , The Green Bag released its first full @-@ color edition , one of the most colorful since color printing of photographs was first introduced in The Bag in 1963 and again in 1967 . For many years the annual was printed by the local well @-@ known printer / publisher of H.G. Roebuck and Son , owned by a City alumnus up to 1970 The most controversial issue of The Green Bag was published in 1900 when members of the senior class used the annual to make fun of their professors . The Baltimore City Board of School Commissioners attempted to censor the edition by requiring The Green Bag to be reviewed by Principal Francis A. Soper . The yearbook had already been printed , and in defiance of the school board , the editors refused to have the edition censored and reprinted . The School Board responded by withholding the diplomas of six of the editors and the business manager and by preventing the school from holding a public commencement ceremony . One of the boys expelled , Clarence Keating Bowie , became a member of the School Board himself in 1926 . The infamous cartoon was later printed for the first time in a " Bag " in an opening segment on school history in 1972 .
