Bennington, Nebraska: Published by the Junior and Senior Class of Bennington High School, 1938.
Sold
Softcover. Quarto. 44pp. Spirit duplicated in purple and blue, hand colored illustrations, and with tipped-in photographs. Bradbound blue wrappers stenciled: "Blue Streak." Some modest spotting and chipping on the wrappers, near fine, internally fine. A wonderful DIY high school yearbook from a very small (the senior class consisted of 9 students) high school in rural eastern Nebraska. The rural nature is emphasized as the boys are dressed mostly in overalls. An interesting element of the yearbook is that it is illustrated with 15 different 4.5" x 2.75" snapshots. There are also places for photos to be tipped-in in other places but there is no evidence they were ever inserted. A yearbook with a certain artifactual charm that is a little hard to describe, but which is clearly tangible. *OCLC* locates no copies, and we'd be very surprised if it had.
